The war was a drain on both sides, and although the Tubis won the Battle of Cobilon and routed the main force of the Nilasi Expedition, they also lost more than 4,000 Imperial knights as a result, which made the already under-armed Tubis even more embarrassed.

In order to preserve his strength, Prince Warkas of the royal capital issued an order to strictly enforce the imperial knights stationed in the occupied territories to wander in the territory, except for the knight team with patrol duties, everyone else was stationed in the city in peacetime. Vacas did this in the hope of reducing the conflict between the Imperial knights and the Knight populace, which could fully reduce the attrition of the Imperial Crusade and preserve the strength of the army to a large extent.

As the Tobis dwindled, the Knight in the territories became active, and as they no longer feared being raided by the barbarians, they were able to move freely as long as they managed to avoid the patrols of those territories. In the short months that followed, in order to resist the barbarian occupation, countless knights of Knight secretly formed resistance forces, and they formed rebel armies in various places to strengthen their power through guerrilla warfare.

The situation in the occupied territory began to become very unstable, and there was nothing Warkas could do about it, if the empire did not send a new army to support him, he could only conserve his strength and continue to wait. The current situation is not too bad for Warkass, at least the Nyla and the Beijung people no longer dare to act rashly, after the first battle of Babylon, Warkas successfully removed the threat from Nila and Beijung, which made him feel less worried and uneasy.

Adili showed great composure in the Battle of Cobilon, and although he was defeated, he was still honored, and won the favor of the entire Beijung Empire.

In the imperial palace of Huairou City, the capital of Beirong Emperor, the ministers kept flattering, and praised the wisdom and might of the commander-in-chief Adili to King Aguta X, which made the king smile and often believe that it was true.

But in the main hall, there was a young nobleman who behaved differently, he boldly walked out of the queue, and said to the king: "Your Majesty, although the commander-in-chief Adili successfully returned to Haocheng with the main force of our Eastern Expeditionary Army, he missed the opportunity in the Battle of Cobilon and did not come to the aid of the Allied Nila army in time, which ultimately led to the defeat of our allied army in the Battle of Cobilon. Your Majesty should admonish Adili and order him to personally rush to Seoul to apologize to the commander-in-chief of Nila, Bedoria, in order to save our alliance with the Nila Empire. ”

The king, who was over forty years old, was a little sluggish, and he could not make up his mind for a moment after hearing this, and he did not know much about the situation and judgment outside, and did not know how to answer the young man, so he had to look at the courtiers below the steps with a seeking gaze.

An imperial duke named Aitolo spoke: "Cerdan, you and Adamhan are both excellent young men of my empire, but can't you learn from Adamhan, you see that Adamhan is very open-minded and never makes his own childish remarks easily. ”

The young nobleman named Childan asked dissatisfiedly: "Lord Duke, how can I be childish in my remarks, I am telling the truth. In the current situation, we must keep on the same front with Nira, and live and die together, otherwise no one will be able to help us when the Tubisi people come to fight in the future. ”

"Inexplicable!" , Duke Aitolo glanced at him with contempt, and then raised his head to the roof of the main hall and said: "My Beirong Empire has now obtained Haodong Fortress and Haocheng Territory, with such a powerful barrier, no matter who he will attack our Beirong, my Beirong Empire is still as stable as a snow-capped mountain plateau." You think too much of the Tubis people, you really think of them as the undefeated god of war, you, you're still too young. ”

After hearing this, Cerdan was furious, he hated these pampered imperial nobles the most, and he was completely unaware of the dangerous situation, only knowing that he slapped the king's ass all day long, making the imperial palace a miasma.

When Cirdan was about to refute again, his father Dibas immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, Cirdan is still young, and he doesn't speak lightly or seriously, I hope you don't mind too much." ”

The king waved his sleeve and replied, "Oh, it's all right. Khirdan, this is a young talent in my empire, and it has been difficult for our empire to produce such a talent for decades, of course I won't take it to heart. This Nila, it's not a good thing, didn't you still make trouble at the border of our Seoul territory a few days ago, there is no need to make any more alliances with them. As for their infantry and cavalry, look at how many of them are left after the battle of Cobilon? It's just vulnerable. As expected, we might as well rely on ourselves, with or without them Nila for us anyway. ”

Dibas nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, yes!" ”

At this time, Aitolo said to Dibas very politely: "The leader is still personable, this person is still so sophisticated, and he is much more powerful than your Cerdan. I have heard that your Chuxun tribe has been very unstable lately, and seems to be not very satisfied with the tax laws promulgated by our majesty. How? Do you want to disobey Your Majesty's will and become a thief and a thief of the empire? ”

As soon as he heard that he was targeting his tribe and family, Dibas did not back down, and he retorted coldly: "Joke, I am the general leader of the Chuxun tribes, why don't I know that there is such a thing." I heard that you Aitolo relied on himself to be a royal family, and everywhere preached that he also had the imperial authority of his ancestors, and he also imitated Huairou to overhaul the palace in Agutai. How? Do you want to set yourself up as a king and fight against the empire, and do you want to rebel and rebel? ”

Etolo was so shocked that he shot back violently: "Nonsense, you are a bloody squirter." Agutai is the birthplace of my royal family, and I built a large hall here, which is for His Majesty to rest when he goes back to worship his ancestors, and it is not for myself. ”

When it comes to the throne, His Majesty the King is naturally the most concerned, and he asked Aitolo rhetorically and said, "Lord Aitolo, why didn't I know that you built a great hall for me in Agutai, could it be that you really have the idea of establishing yourself as a king?" ”

When Ettolo heard this, he was so shocked that he fell to his knees on the main hall, and he immediately pretended to cry and said, "Your Majesty, God is pitiful. You and I are both members of the royal family, blood relatives are thicker than water, I've always been loyal to Your Majesty, and I have made a thousand mistakes, but I will never do this kind of thing that damages the reputation of our royal family, and I will never betray Your Majesty. Why do you still help outsiders to tell your own family, I'm not alive anymore. ”

This commotion was so much that the ministers looked disgusted. However, when the king heard this, he smiled happily, and he stretched out his hand and said, "All right, get up, knowing that you are faithful, I will make a joke with you, we are all family, are we." Hurry up, hurry up. ”

Duke Aitolo bowed his head again and again to thank him, pretending to be aggrieved and wiping his tears, but he didn't see a single tear for a long time.

At this time, a viscount named Walter spoke up: "Your Majesty, now that the alliance between Beijon and Nila has been broken, I should beware of Nila and Tubis, as well as those Knight who are unwilling to destroy the country. In order not to be trapped, what we should do now is to tighten the belts of the whole country, save all unnecessary expenses, and make every effort to form a new army of our empire. If you can, it's a good idea to assemble an army of knights like Toopis and Knights, as well as Nirabatun. The power of the knight army is extraordinary, the entire continent is the only one that our Beirong Empire does not have, if we don't start forming it earlier, once the big war breaks out on the battlefield, we will suffer a lot. ”

After hearing this, the king replied indifferently: "What are you afraid of, isn't there still a mighty Adili commander-in-chief in Haocheng." In our Beijung country, there are also our young heroes Cheldan and Adamhan, what will we lose? ”

After saying that, the king smiled and asked Adamhan in the crowd, "Adamhan, are you right?" ”

Adamhan is more honest, as a member of the Chuxun tribe, he has always stood in the queue of the leader Dibas and his son. After listening to the king's questioning, he replied without hesitation: "Oh, I have listened to the chief of Dibas and the Knightan brothers in this kind of thing, and if they say that they will not suffer, they will not suffer. ”

I wanted to use the kind-hearted Adamhan to stir up the atmosphere, but I didn't expect him to answer like this. The king looked at Cherdan in embarrassment and asked him to continue answering the question.

Cerdan replied truthfully: "Your Majesty, in my personal opinion, I fully agree with the suggestion of Lord Viscount Walter. We must form our own Imperial Knights, without which we will not be able to fight future wars, and the Battle of Cobilon is the best example. ”

The king frowned and thought for a moment, and then asked Dibas, "Your Excellency, with your great wisdom, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Dibas naturally protected his son, although he didn't know whether the knights were really so powerful, he still replied without hesitation: "Back to Your Majesty, a strong army is a strong policy, and a strong army will make the country peaceful and peaceful, and even the country will be strong." If we want Beijung to live a good life in peace, it is imperative to form a strong army of knights. As long as Your Majesty is willing, I, Chu Xun, am willing to give 30,000 gold coins to assist Your Majesty in building a new army of knights. ”

When the king heard this, he immediately exclaimed: "Okay, refreshing, this is the mainstay of my empire." Ministers and nobles, should you also express the generosity of the chief of Dibas? ”

After the king finished speaking, the ministers immediately began to discuss, and at this time, Ettolo looked at Dibas with an unhappy face, and reluctantly said: "Your Majesty, I, the Duke of Agutai, am willing to donate 10,000 gold coins for the formation of the Knights' Army of the Empire. As long as it is good for the empire, our royal family is the first to stand up and support it. ”

The king laughed and stood up to give Ettolo a thank-you salute. Seeing such a fierce reaction from the king, ministers and nobles began to pledge to contribute generously to the new knightly army of the empire.

After the meeting was dismissed, the king went to the study in the backyard and asked the palace guard to count the donations of the people.

The king picked up the statistics and looked at them, and said with a smile in his mouth: "These guys are really rich, they can easily get 200,000 gold coins with such a donation, which is equivalent to half a year's tax in my empire." ”

When the guard officer heard this, he asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to supervise the formation of the knights immediately, so much money is enough for us to form a dozen knights." ”

The king replied coldly, "What are you doing with so many knights, so that they can compete for power?" With so many people, you shouldn't spend money on food, clothing, and rewards. Take 50,000 gold coins to form and support two knights, let Cerdan and Adamhan be the leaders, and put the rest of the money into my coffers. ”

The guard officer was stunned for a moment, and immediately bowed his head and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

The king paid no attention to the guard's expression, and muttered to himself, "Oh, now that I have 150,000 gold coins, what should I do?" Oh, my palace in this backyard needs to be expanded, so that I can accommodate a few more concubines, hahaha. ”

Under the king's arrogant laughter, the guard turned away speechlessly, feeling extremely helpless at the king's corruption and mediocrity.

A few days later, the palace issued a proclamation, referring to the standards of the Knight Knights, the empire began to recruit 5,000 excellent knights into the camp for training, and Beijon began to run for a new knight army throughout the country. Although the population of Beirong is only about 4 million, which is the smallest of the four major countries on the mainland, because it has never formed a knight order, Beirong will soon easily recruit 5,000 excellent young men.

Young warriors from all over the empire gathered in the parade square of the imperial capital, and the knights of Beijon were officially established under the king's personal announcement. Subsequently, they were all knights and nobles of the Beijon Empire, and were divided into two knights under the command of Khirdan and Adamhan.

In order to better train these new troops, the king ordered the Knights to return to their territory Chuxun with the Knights and train them for a long time. Since then, the Beirong people finally have their own knights, and the reputation of the Beirong army has gradually improved, becoming a powerful army on the continent.
