Chapter 4: The City of Leo (2)

"I really didn't think too much about it at first, the most fundamental reason why Stormwind City can develop into the greatest city on the continent today is that I was extremely insecure at that time......

―Leo Chang and a lady in a drunken conversation

"Let's call it Stormwind City, one day, this will be the greatest city in this plane, and statues of me and my most loyal subordinates will be erected on the main roads of the city, and it will become an eternal legend!"

Taking a deep breath of cold air and exhaling a straight white line visible to the naked eye, Leo turned around and waved vigorously at his knights

"Let's go, let's go see the city that belongs to us"

After that, the horses sped up to the gate of Stormwind City in the distance, and the unicorn under them seemed to feel the excitement of their master, and the pace of running instantly increased a lot, and a cheerful sound came out of their noses. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Running against the wind, his body bobbing and falling back and forth on the streamlined back of the mount along the bumps, Leo enjoyed the thrill of driving on earth that was by no means the same, and couldn't help but gently caress the slender neck of the mount, leaning down and whispering in the unicorn's ear

"In the future, your name will be Keeley, let's work together, do you agree, comrade-in-arms?"

As if he understood Leo's words, the unicorn known as Keely expressed its joy even faster, its slender body pulling a white line in the open earth that was almost impossible to discern closely.

Just a few words, the distance of a hundred meters came in an instant, and Kiri, who was close to the gate of Stormwind City, had gradually slowed down and stopped directly in front of the city gate without Leo's command.

"Good Boys"

Patting Kiely on the back, Leo turned his head to look at the Knights of Punishment who had gone through a short run without a trace of disarray, and a hint of surprise still flashed across his face under the visor

But after an instant, I figured it out, and if the knights who were full of horsemanship like themselves were modified to run such a short distance and mess up the formation, it would be a really strange thing.

Holding out his hand to signal Finn, Anthony, and Keith to come to their side, Leo led the three through the three-story gate

The gates of Stormwind City are made of metal as a whole, and the outermost layer of mahogany is inlaid with eighty-one fist-sized copper nails, giving people the most intuitive impression of luxury and grandeur, and it is now possible to imagine the jaw-dropping eyes of the natives of this plane when they first saw Stormwind City.

Of course, as one of the most important defensive parts of the city, the overall pouring of the city gate is absolutely worthy of trust in terms of defense, the opening and closing of the city gate is left and right cross closed, all the bearing construction chain is made of stainless steel, the same system is produced, it must be a high-quality product.

This time it was to welcome Leo and his party, so the city gate had already been opened, and after Leo and the others moved in, the opening and closing of the city gate had to be carried out by them or hired special sergeants.

At that moment, a few people did not stop, led by Leo and several captains stepped into the gate of Stormwind City first, and only after that, the members of the Knights of Punishment entered side by side

When you actually step into the city, you will find a main road about six meters wide that leads to the lord's mansion

The road is paved with white marble, and the pavement seems to have been carefully polished by craftsmen to shine, and some inconspicuous protrusions are cleverly processed every ten centimeters, which is a measure to prevent walking and slipping after rain.

On either side of the closest approach to the road are twelve statues at standard distances, the square base is made of a single bronze block, of course, it is only a base at the moment, which will require Leo to make the statue himself

At the end of the road is a huge sculpture that has been erected, although it is still a little far away Leo can't see clearly, but it can be roughly understood that it should be the statue of his lord

The figure in paladin armor has a shield in his left hand and a paladin sword in his right hand pointing straight ahead, while the unicorn mount under him has two front legs raised high, and his body stands tall.

"My dear Commanders, I hope that one day, you will be able to erect your statues here, right next to me, so that we can be remembered by all the people of this plane."

Leo slowly stretched out his finger forward, the position of the nearest pedestal under his statue, and said solemnly to the three heads beside him.

The moment the words fell, Leo clearly felt that the breathing of the three people behind him was a lot heavier, and Fein and the others nodded to each other after eye contact, although they were the products of the system, but since they had become beings with real flesh and blood, thoughts, and souls

So in addition to the unchanging loyalty to Leo engraved in the depths of their genes, they also have their own different personalities and pursuits, for a man and a true warrior, what can be compared to the supreme honor?

Even if they would surely follow in Leo's footsteps until their lives were gone, what warrior would want to follow a leader who was inconsiderate, cowardly, and unmotivated?

Leo's simple words not only ignited the desire for honor among several people, but also took a step forward in the already ironclad loyalty of several people, which was to put aside the compulsion of the system and spontaneously favor their followers.

The red-haired Finn held his helmet in one hand, turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee in front of Leo, bowed deeply and spoke first

"I, Fern Chang, swear allegiance to my master, Léo Chang, and I am loyal and unwavering."

"I, Anthony Chang, swear allegiance to my master, Léo Chang, and I am loyal and unwavering."

"I, Keith Chang, pledge allegiance to my master, Léo Chang, and I am loyal and unwavering."

As Finn's oath ended, the two deputy captains also expressed their loyalty, and Leo, who somewhat understood the medieval knightly tradition, was surprised to see this

I was surprised that I didn't expect the sudden actions of the three captains I relied on the most, and I was glad that the actions of the three were to swear allegiance to themselves in reality, although it was impossible to betray them knowing that the Punishment Knights belonged to him, but for Leo, the coercion of the system was completely different from the meaning represented by the real oath.

Looking at the three people kneeling on the ground on one knee, he didn't hesitate, quickly jumped off the mount, and also took off his helmet for the first time and walked in front of the three people with one hand

With his right hand, he slowly pulled out the long sword he carried with him from his waist, and touched the shoulders of the three people with the back of the sword according to the prompt in his mind at this moment, and then Leo said to the three people in an unprecedented solemn tone

"I swear by the honor of me, the owner of Stormwind, Grand Duke Léo Chang (to be mentioned later), that I will be faithful and honorable, and that I will treat you with sincerity, and I accept your allegiance and will be my loyal knight for the rest of my life, and serve me with your courage, force, and wisdom."

At this point, the etiquette of taking the oath is over, looking at the three people who stood up, Leo couldn't help but pat Fein on the shoulder, hammered Case's chest, and the relationship between several people instantly narrowed a lot from simple superiors and subordinates

Several people have been looking at Leo with a lot of humanized colors, simply put, the three people at this time and the members of the Punishment Knights who were inspired by the oath ceremony behind them, after that, they really identified with Leo in reality

Rather than being numb and indifferent like a robot after the system is materialized, what Leo doesn't know is that he has inadvertently passed a difficult time that the system does not explain, and the Knights of the Embodiment hardly think and act only on orders

And after obtaining their true allegiance, they will think and judge, and will make different choices according to their own character, some people may say that the combat effectiveness of such a knight order is reduced, but in fact, in the rapidly changing battlefield, such a warrior is far better than ten people like a puppet.
