Chapter 134: Lord Byron
"Under the gaze of the Father, in the name of kings, queens, and kings of the past."
"I, Lord Dehrium of the Kingdom of Svadia, Count Claes, bestow upon you the title of Knight!"
"May glory be with you, Your Excellency von Byron."
Count Claes finished what he said when he was knighted, although Byron was not awarded at the annual knightly award ceremony, but many earls and lords watched this scene, so no one would doubt the legitimacy of his knightly qualifications.
"Fight for you, fight for the king, my honorable lord."
Byron tried his best to hide his excitement, stood up and saluted respectfully.
"Lord Byron, I grant you three thousand acres of land outside of Dehrim that belong to me, as your knightly fief. In addition, I grant you, in the name of King Haraus, the right to call up soldiers in my and the King's domain. You can use My Banner or choose one of your own to show who you are. ”
Count Claes put his sword back in its scabbard, and the other counts politely nodded to Byron and used a new title.
"Congratulations, Lord Byron."
"Well done, Lord Byron."
"Remember chivalry, Byron..."
[Your rank status has increased, and now your rank is "Knight"]
[You have received a new title, and your current title is "Lord Knight"]
[Congratulations, you have become a member of the noble class, and you have +10 proficiency in all weapons;]
You have become a knight of the Swadia Kingdom, your reputation in the Swadia Kingdom has become better, and people are more willing to join your troops. +100 to your Dominion Limit;+20 Fame;]
Amid the prompts of the system and the praise of the nobles, Byron left the tent with a smile on his face and was given a new mission.
Count Claes bestowed the title of Knight of Byron, making him a member of the nobility of the Kingdom of Svadia. However, this will not affect the content of the tasks he assigned to Byron, who is still a miscellaneous task.
Plundered Rhodok's transport forces, harassed incoming and outgoing caravans, and disrupted their supply deployments. This kind of work is still a thankless job for the regular army, but it is a good job for Byron's mercenaries. Although it may offend a large number of merchants, it can also earn a large amount of dinars.
"That's a good thing to say, chivalry, I don't see any chivalry in this mission, and sure enough, they still see me as a mercenary who can do any job in their hearts."
Byron grumbled a little in his heart, then bowed and went out.
The soldiers waiting at the door had already heard that Byron had been awarded the title of knight, so when they saw Byron, they all bowed their heads and saluted Byron.
"It is an honor to meet you, Lord Byron!"
When Alleyne saw Byron, he also came over with a smile, bent down deeply, and bowed to Byron very exaggeratedly, and his voice was also very loud.
"I know there's nothing wrong with following you, and lo and behold, you're a knight now. It may sound harsh, but now you are truly worthy of my allegiance. I will give all my strength to you, and if you have the opportunity to recommend one day, please don't forget me. ”
Alleyne's words are indeed not very popular, but it can be seen that Byron's evaluation of Byron has become higher after becoming a knight, and it has also boosted his morale to a certain extent.
"Good, Ellene. You also have the right to be a knight, and if I had that chance, I would never forget you. ”
Byron shook Arynn's hand, then looked at Phatis as he walked slowly towards him.
"Congratulations, Your Excellency, and may chivalry accompany you."
Fatis's words were simple, although he saluted Byron, but his attitude did not change much.
"Presumably you've been given a new mission, do you want us to help siege the city? In that case, we have to hurry up and prepare again. ”
Rather than Alleyne's emphasis on Byron's new status, he cares more about what the next task is and whether Byron can truly practice and the knighthood that many people have forgotten.
Byron nodded, motioning for the two of them to talk as they walked.
And when Byron finished explaining the content of the award and the details of the mission, Alleyne began to look forward to the battle, and Fatis frowned.
"It's better to rob the supply convoy and rob the passing merchants? I don't think it's in line with any of the rules of chivalry. It doesn't seem like the Earl thinks of you as a real knight, and this is not like a knight's task. Fatis said with some dissatisfaction.
"Sometimes that's it, Fatis, it's nothing. In some cases, the titles of squires and knights could even be achieved through the trading of dinars, so it was not a matter for knights to rob a few traders who were transporting supplies for the enemy country. ”
Aren didn't care much after hearing Fatis's words. In Vekia, some cities even sell captains in less important positions to the wealthy to raise money for their wars, and the Knights of Vekia are not soft on enemy villages and towns during wars.
This was a "vice" they learned during the war with the Kujits, and they found that when war is not glorious, only in war is to satisfy their own interests is the most important thing.
"Whatever you may say, Alleyne, chivalry is in my heart."
Fatis pointed to his chest, then looked at Byron.
"So, your thoughts are..."
"We don't have a choice, so let's do it. But for those innocents, we try not to kill them. ”
Byron was also a little helpless about this, Fatis had too much sense of justice, sometimes it was useful, but sometimes it could get in the way. However, in comparison, it is still more beneficial. So for many of Fatis's opinions, Byron would listen. Even if you don't listen, you will find a way to explain it clearly.
However, it can be seen that Fatis is not satisfied with Byron's statement. Fortunately, he also gave Byron face, and did not keep talking about it, but hoped that Byron could put him in charge of this task.
Byron was in no hurry to talk about it, and talked for a long time about what he had to do to become a knight.
Alleyne had a lot of thoughts on this, and Fatis's attention was successfully diverted. Both of them thought that Byron needed to have his own flag emblem, and they both thought that the current peony logo would be a good fit if it had been modified.
Byron agreed with them, and gathered all his soldiers to announce in front of them that he had become a knight of the Kingdom of Svadia.
For the constant soldiers, having a noble old nature is a little taller, so the morale has also increased a lot.
