Count Winston was also a figure in Hwaseong, at least his influence among the Hwaseong nobility was not inferior to Mozart's.

Hearing that Betty had made a bold move to form a territorial knighthood for Hwaseong, in order to show loyalty to Betty and the Duke's Palace, Winston ran non-stop throughout the territory, lobbying all the nobles to fully support the Duke's Palace.

In this age of strife, fame and status are the eternal goals of the people, and the absence of knights in the Hwaseong Territory makes all the nobles disgraced. Now that the situation in Hwaseong has improved, for the sake of face and honor, the nobles followed in Winston's footsteps, and they generously donated money and horses to the Duke's Palace, and the whole territory was boiling for a while.

When Winston arrived at the Duke's Palace with hundreds of carts of supplies, a cart of gold coins, and thousands of horses, Mozart was stunned.

In the past, Mozart carried this kind of thing to others, and he had never seen his aristocrats support him so much, Mozart felt his daughter's materialism deep down, and this glory of everyone's support made Mozart feel warm in his heart.

Winston presented Mozart with a booklet of materials, coins, and horses, and said very seriously: "Lord Duke, I heard that our Huacheng is finally going to form our own Territory Knights, which is a little bit of the heart of the nobles of our territory, and I hope that Lord Duke can accept it with a smile." ”

Mozart was so excited that he didn't know what to say, so he had to pretend to excuse himself and say: "This, this is unacceptable, what does this make me embarrassed." ”

Betty glanced at her father, reached out and took the booklet and looked at it and said, "The nobles are good, they really have a bit of the blood of our Knights, and the people in their own territory are the most reliable at the critical time." ”

Winston happily replied, "Of course, the formation of the Knights of the Territory is a major matter for us in Hwaseong, and each of us should contribute." ”

"Hmm!" Betty closed the booklet after reading it, stretched out her hand and asked, "What about the list?" ”

Winston was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled and took out another booklet from his bosom and respectfully handed it to Betty.

Betty handed the gift book to Mozart, picked up the roster in Winston's hand and looked at it: "Yo, Lord Count is really heroic, donating so many war horses." ”

Winston grinned and said, "I'm ashamed, Lord Betty, don't say that." My Earl's Mansion has done everything to take out all the war horses, hoping that our knights in Hwaseong can be formed as soon as possible. ”

Betty handed the roster to Mozart on the side, and happily praised: "Lord Earl is indeed the mainstay of my Huacheng territory, and his thoughts are always the same as my Duke's Palace. If the Earl doesn't dislike it, please stay in my Duke's Palace to help deal with the affairs of the territory, what do you think? ”

After hearing this, Winston immediately bowed and saluted, saying, "Thank you, Lord Betty, thank you, Lord Mozart, I, Winston, will do my best to be loyal to the Duke's Palace." ”

Betty smiled shyly and said nothing. This kind of thing is naturally left to his father to answer, and it can be regarded as giving him a long face.

Mozart was stunned when he heard this, this dignified count was going to enter the Duke's palace on an errand, and there had never been such a thing in the kingdom for more than 400 years.

Mozart hurriedly stretched out his hand to pick up Winston, and thanked him again and again: "Oh, this and this, Lord Earl, you are really a good earl of the people." ”

After saying that, Mozart immediately turned sideways and respectfully invited Winston and said, "Come on, let's go into the house and talk, and I will have a good drink with you tonight, brother." ”

Winston grinned and said, "It's better to be respectful, Lord Duke, please." ”

Watching the two walk into the courtyard complimenting each other, Betty had a pleasant smile on her face. For her, what Knight lacks in the world is a group of harmony, and Betty can't control the other territories for the time being, but at least she can do Hwaseong herself first.

Inviting Winston to assist the Duke's Court is naturally to better control those nobles, which is a deliberate move by Betty. Mozart had wanted to do this before, but he had been suffering from the lack of good methods, and he was indeed lacking in ability.

On a bleak autumn day, the horses brought by the vendors filled the compound, Simon was busy checking the number of horses, and Charles counted the gold coins to pay the vendors.

Accompanied by Winston, Mozart came with several guards to inspect the site. Mozart smiled from ear to ear when he saw these sturdy horses, and he pointed to the horses and said to Winston, "Our knights, this is what they lack the most." ”

Winston nodded and replied, "Yes, yes, or Lord Betty has a way, and such a scarce war horse can be obtained, which is really amazing." ”

At this time, the guards outside the gate came to report: "Lord Simon, the merchants have sent a person, saying that the merchants representing Hwaseong have come to present war horses to the Duke's Palace." ”

Simon walked out without saying a word, Mozart was surprised, and hurriedly said to Winston: "This merchant has also come to give away war horses?" It's weird. ”

Winston was also puzzled, he frowned and said, "Lord Duke, let's go and see it too?" ”

"Let's go!" Mozart replied without hesitation, and walked out of the Duke's Palace with Winston.

On the street outside the Duke's Palace, a large group of war horses was parked, which looked like there were more than a hundred horses. Mozart smiled from ear to ear, for the first time in his years as a duke, he felt that his face was so glorious that even the vendors came to give gifts.

While they were busy with their horses, Betty and Barugel were sitting in a small hall discussing the formation of the Order.

Betty told Barugel: "Soon the knights will be formed, you have to pay close attention to the selection of members, don't let those guys who have no ability to mix into the team, whether it is nobles or commoners, we don't talk about the rules of the kingdom." ”

Barugel frowned and asked, "After careful selection, we have already accepted more than 5,000 people, and we still want to collect them?" That's more than two knights. ”

Betty replied calmly: "Yes, as it is." We have about 8,000 horses, so we can gather people like 7,500 people. ”

Barugel was very excited to hear this, and he said happily, "Wow, this is a terrible thing, three knights, Lord Betty. ”

Betty looked up and asked, "What?" Have questions? ”

"Hey, hey!" Barugel grabbed his head and said, "No, no, that's great." ”

Betty leaned back in her chair and explained seriously: "Don't be happy first, after these 7,500 knights are settled, the training of the knights will depend on you." You'll have to give me some snacks, the three knights are quite numerous, and if we don't train them well, we'll all be working in vain. ”

Baruger held his head high and said, "Then don't worry, this matter is on me." ”

Betty nodded slightly and said, "Well, when the time comes, Lord Simon and I will often come over to help you." You should prepare well, there are still many things to be busy. ”

"Okay!" Barugel got up and saluted, turned and left.

After Barugel left, Betty walked slowly to the window, and stood on the upper floor of the Duke's Palace looking down on the entire western land, with a great sadness on her face.

After the unremitting efforts of Betty and others, Hwaseong formed his own territorial knights for the first time in Knight's desperate situation, and there were three knights in one go, which became the most exciting topic of conversation in the Knight world.

In the days that followed with heavy snowfall, Barugel drove the three knights to camp in the snow outside the city, and trained them every day according to Betty's instructions.

Whether the army is powerful or not depends not only on the number of people, but also on the fighting quality and physique of the soldiers.

Hard training in the snow is a method proposed by Betty, the purpose is to exercise the will of the knights, to let them know that the knights are not to let them eat and mingle, and it is not easy to become a real knight.

From time to time, Betty would also take Simon to inspect the Order's residence, strictly enforce the Order's style, and personally punish those who do not follow the rules.

Watching the knights of the territory become more and more formal, Mozart's heart was not to mention how happy, he almost felt that he could win the cheers of the Knight world on his own, and he didn't need to rely on Prince Railton and the chief Carter at all.

One night, Mozart boasted in front of everyone, claiming that after the knights had been trained, Hwaseong would be able to resist the barbarians alone.

Betty reminded in time, "Father, if we want to fight the barbarians, we must stand with Prince Railton and Dragon City. Everyone understands the truth that it is difficult to stand alone, and it is because of this that we have fallen to this end, and I hope that my father can learn from the lessons of the past. ”

After Mozart's enthusiasm subsided, he nodded, sighed, and said, "That's right, I heard that the barbarians are also preparing to form more Black Knights, and they may hold the Imperial Warriors Tournament next year or the year after." ”

After hearing this, Winston asked, "Oh yes, didn't Prince Realton say that he was going to hold a knight tournament in the winter and form our new knight army?" Our Hwaseong can't be left behind at that time, we have to prepare well. ”

Mozart nodded, turned his head and asked Betty, "Are there any particularly powerful characters among our new knights?" Pick a few people to participate in the knight competition, if you can fight for a few top ten places for Hwaseong, then our Hwaseong will be famous all over the world. ”

Before Betty could answer, Simon smiled and said, "Lord Duke, just the three knights newly formed by our Huacheng have already made our Huacheng famous all over the world. ”

Betty was calmer, she thought for a while and then replied: "We must send people to participate in the knight competition in Dragon City, but we had better not take this kind of thing too seriously, just send a few people to be perfunctory, and it can be regarded as cooperating with the arrangement of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Why?" Mozart asked, puzzled.

Betty replied calmly, "Don't you look at what kind of people are in Dragon City. Not to mention Haba and Robit, Carter's Acedo and Dimis alone are amazing, as well as Cook and Mompot, and Basel next to His Royal Highness the Prince. These people are not ordinary people, and Cologne will definitely have a lot of great characters to participate. There are only 10 places in total, and it is difficult to have a chance for us to compare. Moreover, Prince Railton had already arranged it privately, this was just a game for him, and the purpose was to let those people in Dragon City squeeze into the top ten, so that His Royal Highness the Prince could further cultivate his own power. We Hwaseong don't want to touch this troubled water, ruining Railton's plan and angering His Royal Highness the Prince will not do us Hwaseong. ”

Mozart shook his head and sighed, apparently speechless as Betty spoke, and that he had been doing so wisely for many years.

Barugel was a little unhappy, he was a little discouraged, and said very dissatisfied: "I thought I could go to the knight tournament with Lord Simon, it seems that there is no hope." ”

Betty turned her head and said: "What is there to participate in the knight competition, if you enter the top ten, you will get the title of knight chief." Now that we have our own Knights of Hwaseong, you and Simon will definitely be the leaders of the Knights in the future, isn't this more majestic than those knights? ”

"Really?" When he heard that he could be the head of the Knights in the future, Barugel smiled happily and crooked his mouth.

Mozart probed and asked, "And what about the Knights, who will be the head of the Knights?" ”

Betty replied, "Father, do you think I can do it?" ”

After hearing this, Mozart laughed and said, "What, Betty, don't joke with your father, tell me quickly, who will arrange it?" Charles? ”

Betty glanced at Charles, who was sitting on the side, and replied coldly, "Big brother? Forget it, it's almost the same as being a knight. ”

Charles was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Really?" Am I really going to be a knight? ”

"Worthless guy!" Seeing Charles's expression, Mozart was half angry, he turned his head and asked Betty and said, "It's not Charles, who will be the commander of the third knights?" ”

Betty replied coldly, "I said, I'll do it myself." ”

Betty's words shocked everyone in their seats, and everyone remained silent after half a ring. Betty took the position of head of the Order herself, and no one would find it inappropriate, a decision that surprised everyone, but there was nothing to say.

No matter what outsiders think, and whether they will approve of it or not, Hwaseong has risen rapidly under Betty's management. It only took her less than two months to take care of the obscure Hwaseong in an orderly manner. Not only is the territory united, but it also has a large territory army of three knights, which is something that only Hwaseong under Betty's leadership can do.

The rapid rise of Hwaseong made Prince Wakas, who was stationed in the royal capital, also jealous of Hwaseong, and repeatedly told the Black Knight of the Empire not to provoke the people of Hwaseong.
