In the early hours of October 468, the Tubis Empire to the west suddenly launched a storm on the fortress of Luo Khan. At the end of the battle, the western fortress of Luo Khan fell, and all 500 Luo Khan knights were killed. At this time, the royal capital was holding a celebration of the founding of the country for the 300th anniversary, and the Knight people had no time to react, and the next day Luo Khan City fell, and Luo Khan's territory was completely lost!

The war between the Knight Kingdom and the Tubis Empire began, and then the Nila Empire and the Beijung Empire on the east side also declared war on the Knight Kingdom at the same time, and launched attacks on the Seoul Fortress and the Haodong Fortress successively. After three hundred years of peace, the Knight people entered the never-ending years of war, and everything came too suddenly.

In the years of war, knightly songs floated all over the land of Knight: "The sword is cold and the spear is flying in chaos, and he has been training hard to defend his homeland for many years; The war horse roars and drinks the blood helmet, and the heroic horse leather shroud is returned! ”

But this is only the beginning, the war has lasted for nearly two years, the knight armies from all over the country continue to join the battle, the knight kingdom is doing everything in its power to fight against the invaders, and the situation is still not improving, but becoming more and more difficult.

While most of the knights were engaged in the war, Cook was tasked with going to Widun to suppress the bandits.

When Cook approached his father with the mandate, Fawkes frowned deeply.

For Fawkes, he couldn't accept his son's recklessness, and Cook didn't even discuss such a major matter with him, so he went directly to Connor to take over the task. But Fox also hopes that his son can get better workouts, and maybe it's time for him to go to combat so that Cook can improve better.

Fawkes didn't say anything, he led Cook to the camp of the Royal Knights, called the five knights under his command, and asked them to select a hundred knights for Cook from the Knights. Obviously, these 100 people are the best knights in the royal knights, and they can be said to be the elite of the elite of the knight army.

There is also danger in suppressing bandits, and they can die at any time under the fight of real swords and guns. Cook is Fox's only child, and he does the best he can for the sake of the child.

After handing over the hundred knights to Cook, Fawkes summoned him another chief of guard.

Fox said to the young knight in his early twenties, "Rochabal, you've been with me for almost five years, it's your turn!" I now appoint you as the chief of the guard of the bandit brigade, and from now on follow the knight chief of the bandit brigade, Cook, please remember my teaching to you, and always protect your knight captain. ”

After hearing this, Rossabar straightened his body, made a knightly salute seriously, and then tore his throat and said, "Obey, Lord Instructor!" ”。

Then Fawkes didn't say anything, just made a random gesture, signaling Rossabar to prepare for departure immediately.

After seeing Rossabar go to count the number of people and sort out the team, Fox turned around and told Cook: "You go back and say goodbye to your mother first, and leave early tomorrow morning, don't delay!" ”

Who knew that Cook calmly replied: "No need father, without further ado, I am ready to leave now, and I will say hello to my mother when I come back from the bandits!" ”

After Cook finished speaking, he turned over his horse and ordered directly to Roshabal: "The bandit brigade is all set off, there must be no mistake!" ”

Hearing Cook's order, the knights tightened their reins and followed Cook out of the camp in a neat line.

Fox frowned deeply again, and he silently watched Cook's team leave, with an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Cook's kid was a little strong, and how much Fox wanted to see his son look back and look at himself, but all he saw was Cook's back slowly leaving. Instead, Rossabar turned back to himself and said goodbye, a happy smile on his face.

Fawkes nodded slowly at Roshabal, looking at him silently with hesitant eyes.

Roschabal understood Fox's mood very well, and he knew that the chief instructor had entrusted Cook to himself, hoping that he would take good care of Cook along the way.

Seeing Cook go out alone for the first time, Fox felt a pain in his heart, and he couldn't help but exhort loudly: "Cook, when you suppress bandits, you must distinguish clearly, which are real robbers and which are refugees who are forced to do so, don't kill innocents indiscriminately!" ”

This is a sentence that Fox came up with after holding back for a long time, because he really wanted his son to look back at him again, and it was only through this method.

Cook reined in his horse, turned his head and replied, "Good father, I promise I won't let you down!" ”

All aspects that should be done have been done, and all the things that should be told are clear, and he wants his son to look back at himself, which is also his wish, and Fox watched Cook and his party leave far away with satisfaction.

But for some reason, Fawkes was very infarcted, as if he was saying goodbye to Cook.

After walking out of the royal capital, Kuklema looked back at the royal capital, and the scene in front of him reminded him of the part of visiting his cousin in the north ten years ago, and a sadness slowly welled up in his heart.

"Let's get on our way, Lord Knight!" Seeing that Cook stopped moving, Roshabal on the side urged.

Cook nodded, whipped his horses hard, and led the knights through the flat field.

It's not too far to get to Victoria, and from the main road you have to pass through the town of Uba, then turn east at the North Crossing to reach Victoria. The distance is about 300 miles, and it will take more than a day to get there.

As he passed through the town of Uba, Cook came across Miller's van full of wine heading towards him.

Cooklema stopped, frowned and asked Miller, "When is this, why are you still pouring these things, are you very short of money to spend?" ”

"There's no shortage, what's wrong?" , Miller looked innocent and felt that Cook was a little angry today.

Cook pointed to the knight behind him, scolded Miller, and said, "Each of us is contributing to the kingdom, it's good that you still have the leisure to do business here!" ”

Miller hesitated for a moment after hearing this, he looked at Cook's team from beginning to end, and then frowned and asked, "Cook, why did you bring so many people, where are you going?" ”

Cook looked up at the sky to the north and replied coldly, "I have received an order from Duke Connor to rush to Widden to suppress the bandits!" ”

"Bandits?" After hearing this, Miller was shocked, stood up directly from the truck, and continued to ask Cook: "Really, you finally have a chance to show your skills?" ”

Cook gave Miller a blank look, but didn't bother to speak.

Miller rolled his eyes and made a decision at the moment: "Come on, we won't sell this wine to the royal capital!" ”

After saying that, he shouted to the coachman and said, "Turn around and turn around, we will send the wine to Widden to sell, and I will go to Widden with my good brother Cook!" ”

The coachmen did not slack off when they heard this, and drove their horses around the head of the cart and drove away for a while.

Cook showed a smile on his face, and then explained to Roshabal: "Let's go on the road with Miller's convoy, so that the thieves don't have to worry about the convoy!" ”

Without hesitation, Rossabar replied, "Good knight master! ”。 After speaking, he began to assign tasks to the knights, selected two people to go to the front to investigate the surrounding situation, to prevent the ambush of the thieves, and selected a dozen or so people to press the formation behind the convoy, so as not to launch a surprise attack from the back of the convoy.

Miller jumped out of the car, took the dagger and put it on his body, and then changed to a dark horse and accompanied Cook by his side.

At this time, Miller taunted Cook in turn and said, "Yo, it's a good mix, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I've become a knight!" But it's really strange that you, the chief knight, have only received a hundred knights? ”

Cook replied very depressedly: "Who says it is not, I guess I am the most knight in the world!" ”。 After saying that, the two laughed happily together.

After ten years of getting along, although Cook and Miller squeezed each other as soon as they met, the relationship between the two of them was like that of brothers.

Roshabar also leaned over and asked, "Miller, you are also from the training camp, why do you wear a short sword!" ”

Miller glanced back at him, sneered and said, "I'm not a person from the training camp, thank you to the chief instructor for giving me the opportunity to join the camp!" It's just a pity, I'm not a good person, how to practice, I haven't made much progress, and it's in vain for the chief instructor to work me! Until now, I still think that the short sword is more convenient, and it is just self-defense, and when I meet a knight like you, I will die anyway! So, I think my strength is still the most suitable for pounding these goods, and I've really made a lot of money in the past few years. ”

Cook shook his head and said, "I don't understand you, what's the use of you making so much money?" It's enough for you to eat, and you can't wear it. ”

Miller smiled and said, "That's different. I'm not a miser, I've changed all the money I've earned over the years into land, and now I have ten vineyards in Uba! I don't make money, how can I get the money to buy so many estates! ”

"Wow!" , Rossabar exclaimed: "Then you have to invite us to drink, you are too rich!" ”

Cook sneered and said: "Don't be complacent too early, if one day the barbarians come to attack, even if you have a hundred estates, you will be in vain, and you will become a poor egg overnight!" ”

Miller said indifferently: "How is it possible, no matter how powerful the barbarians are, they can still break through the Yuguan Fortress?" When our knights eat dry food, huh? ”

"That's right!" Rosharbal continued: "We have stationed ten knights in Yuguan Fortress, and the current Yuguan Fortress is as strong as an iron bucket, and the barbarians will have to withdraw sooner or later, and Luo Khan will soon return to our kingdom!" ”

Cook didn't say a word after listening to it, things shouldn't be so simple for him, sometimes some things are not afraid of ten thousand just in case. Yuguan is very important to the kingdom, once Yuguan is broken, the entire hinterland of the kingdom will be exposed to the barbarians, and the whole country will face the danger of extinction at that time! The barbarians can defeat at Yuguan and Luo Khan, and it is a big deal that they can return to their own empire, but the kingdom cannot afford to lose! If the Yuguan fortress is really lost, the consequences will be unimaginable.
