The recognition of Archduke Leo's status by the Empire and the establishment of a new duchy had reached the ears of all the nobles of the Northern Lords through the channels of various families long before he left the Imperial Capital......

Therefore, when Leo personally led people back to Stormwind City after Anthony personally greeted him, there was an endless stream of nobles and even wealthy merchants who came to visit within a week, and some people stayed in Stormwind City for a long time in order to get a chance to meet Leo, which also indirectly prospered the city's commerce

And Anthony also told Leo about the previous Kane incident, without any oil and vinegar, and the disappearance of Rhodes was the most important, but the experience of the imperial capital made Leo not care too much about this matter

For the two sides that have basically torn their faces, not to mention the death of a dozen Templars, even if Rhodes really betrays the Church, the ambitions of the Church and Leo's persistence are destined to have a battle between the two sides sooner or later

After appeasing the somewhat apologetic Anthony, Leo was very interested in Kane Hugh Lancelot, who was the deputy head of the regiment, and if he used it well, he would probably become the most suitable candidate for the plan in his mind......

In addition to these, what interests Leo the most is the change in the number of troops, due to the addition of a large number of local labor, the production of the Stormwind Weapons Workshop has been steadily increasing, which makes Anthony's decisive conscription operation a reality after the emergence of the crisis

Of course, Leo's trust and financial support are also important reasons......

Listening to Anthony's narration, Leo silently unfolded the long-neglected list of attributes in his mind through the system:

Personal Attributes: ......"

"Whew~"

With a sigh of relief, the system's accurate explanation on the attribute table made Leo let go of his worries, thinking about it, no matter whether Rolf usurped the throne or not, as long as the ruler of the empire was still the Bernadotte family, then no one could not help but recognize the state-building qualifications and titles he obtained

"Huh? When did we have a new Knights, Anthony? ”

The other data is clear at a glance, Leo is still easy to understand, but the [New Knights] that appeared in the column of the knights under his command made him a little confused

Stunned for a moment, Anthony quickly reacted and explained with a smile

"My lord, maybe you have forgotten after the defeat of Duke Orlando's White Moon City, after the ......"

Before Anthony could finish speaking, Leo had already reacted

"I see, it's those former knights of the White Moon Knights who have nowhere to go and surrender after losing their lords, right? Now that they've finished training, I don't remember any arrangements I made for it before I left, my dear friend......"

"I'm sorry for this, my lord, because of what I told you before, at that time, in order to avoid a possible invasion of the church, for the safety of Stormwind City, with the support of your butler, I had to gather and strengthen all the available forces in my hands"

Leo looked at the deputy head of the regiment who hurriedly explained the situation, waved his hand funny, and motioned for Anthony to sit down, and then smiled and spoke

"Needless to explain my friend, in this strange world, Finn, Keith, and you are the only friends and brothers I can fully trust, so I believe that any decision you make will be for the sake of me and our territory."

Although he also understood this in his heart, Leo's unreserved trust still moved Anthony a little, and he stood up and saluted with his chest and said with some excitement

"I'm sure Finn and Keith will be as honored as I am to have your trust, but there's one thing you need to decide...... Well, the new Knights are already equipped with armor and horses, and the weapons are also equipped with knightly swords and shields from Stormwind, and as their masters, you can assign them a secondary weapon and the name of the Knights, my lord! ”

After listening to Anthony's words, Leo was silent and habitually tapping his fingers, and after a while, he looked at the other party with a somewhat soliciting expression

"How are they now?"

"Great, my lord, of course I mean that compared to their previous ones, the knights of this continent are essentially very good, very skilled in the use of almost all weapons, and have a fairly solid foundation, but what makes me a little strange is that they ...... Well, how to put it, it seems that there is a lack of spirituality, and every knight is very similar, even in terms of etiquette and rules of life......"

This sentence touched Leo's unhappy past in the imperial capital, and he shook his head wistfully

"There are some things that you will definitely know from the mouth of Case, my friend, maybe you will be surprised when you hear it, but the truth is that in this world, if you have a good instructor environment, mature supporting facilities and accumulation, knights ...... It is possible to mass produce! ”

……

Throwing down Anthony, who was a little dumbfounded, Leo knew that the traditional and serious deputy head under his command needed a certain amount of time to digest these, after all, in Pande, knight is the most glorious title, and even the kings and nobles of each kingdom will put their knighthood before the title of nobility on solemn occasions

This is also the reason why all the knights of punishment are reluctant to accept Leo's canonization of nobles, because they always think that it does not make any sense......
