After a period of recuperation, Chen Mo was ready to continue to expand his territory.

His caravan has not yet found the person he is looking for, he can only continue to expand his power now, expand the size of the caravan, he believes that the person he is looking for will appear sooner or later, Chen Mo, who has been injected with super soldier serum and has a greatly extended lifespan, has enough time and patience.

However, Chen Mo found that Andrew, the leader of the knights under his command, was not in the right state recently, and others may not have noticed it, but with Chen Mo's keen perception, he could often feel a worried and tangled emotion from him.

Especially after learning that their next target to attack was Marquis Leonard, who was located on the outskirts of the territory, this feeling became even stronger and more obvious, and even the daily training seemed absent-minded.

Chen Mo could conclude that Andrew's emotions must be related to this Marquis Leonard's domain.

As the first to follow Chen Mo, and at the same time the strongest and highest-ranking knight leader under Chen Mo's command today, Andrew's performance has always made Chen Mo very satisfied.

He is persistent, brave and extremely loyal, all orders to Chen Mo will be carried out unconditionally, the entire knight order under his leadership, the loyalty to Chen Mo has always been extremely firm, even if it is a flesh and blood body hitting the city gate, no one is afraid and timid, all with a heart of death, indomitable, of course, Chen Mo did not disappoint them.

The original Hundred Knights Regiment has experienced a year of conquest, and now it has already expanded to more than 500 people, and the original more than 100 people have all been canonized as real knights by Chen Mo through their own efforts.

Due to the large number of knights under his command, in order to distinguish different ranks and clarify the subordinate relationship, Chen Mo simply divided the formal knights into four ranks, which were distinguished by gold, silver, copper and iron.

The highest Golden Knight has not been canonized for the time being.

Andrew, as the leader of the Knights, is also the strongest warrior who kills the most enemies, and is currently the highest-ranking and only silver knight under Chen Mo's command, in charge of the entire Knights.

And the eight people who were rescued by Chen Mo together with Andrew at the beginning, and Victor, who joined Chen Mo not long ago, but performed outstandingly, were the Bronze Knights, each commanding a squadron of dozens of knights.

There are more than 100 Black Iron Knights, most of whom are members of the original territorial guards, and they each lead four squire knights to form a team as the most basic combat unit.

And these more than 400 squire knights were selected by Chen Mo from the original noble knights who came on their own initiative or were captured, and added to the knights.

When he came to Chen Mo's territory, everything had to start again, and the original knight title was useless.

Some of them have fought bravely through their own efforts and become official Black Iron Knights again, while others have all worked hard to get back their own honor as soon as possible.

Chen Mo has clear rewards and punishments for his subordinates, and he never hesitates to reward meritorious soldiers, gold coins, land, and even titles, as long as you have made enough meritorious deeds, it is not impossible to become a baron.

Therefore, the morale of the entire knight order is extremely strong, and it is extremely eager to fight, fight for the lord, and accumulate merits.

Everyone hopes that one day they can get a territory of their own, establish their own knight family, and even become a real hereditary noble, and Andrew is the most desperate among them.

Not only was he brave and fearless on the battlefield, fighting bravely to kill the enemy, even if he was already the strongest existence under Chen Mo, he still never relaxed his training, and seized every opportunity to work hard to improve his strength.

Under his leadership, the Knights did not relax their daily training because they were equipped with sophisticated armor and weapons, and all of them trained very hard, especially those knights who joined later, and they practiced the Holy Cross swordsmanship every day.

And now that their knight leader is unusual, absent-minded all day long, and has no fighting spirit, Chen Mo has to personally inquire about it, there must be something hidden in it that his heroic henchman will be so abnormal.

Blackstone Castle, Lord's Study.

On the wall hangs a portrait of a charging knight, majestic, domineering, the floor is covered with soft and gorgeous wool carpets, surrounded by heavy and delicate solid wood furniture, the whole study is arranged noble and elegant and atmospheric.

Chen Mo sat behind the dark solid wood desk, flipping through the latest information sent back by the Chamber of Commerce.

The firewood crackled in the fireplace, and the study was warm and quiet.

Suddenly, there was a sound of heavy footsteps outside the door, and then there was a soft knock on the door of the study.

"Lord Lord, Knight Andrew has arrived."

Outside the door came the voice of the castle butler.

"Come in."

Chen Mo's majestic voice sounded.

With Chen Mo's consent, the housekeeper outside the door opened the door of the study, bent down slightly, and stretched out his hand to signal Andrew to enter by himself.

Andrew was wearing armor and holding a helmet in his hand, strode into the study, with a serious face and a straight body standing in front of Chen Mo.

With the expansion of the Knights' personnel, the original manor was no longer enough to accommodate a large number of knights and war horses, coupled with the very important secret workshop, Chen Mo simply moved the lord's mansion from the original baron's manor to this black stone castle that originally belonged to the Earl of Valen.

This ancient Gothic-style castle is built entirely of hard black stone, and is large and old, with towering towers and pointed roofs, majestic, mysterious and slightly eerie.

In the study, Chen Mo put down the information in his hand and looked at Andrew, who was standing proudly in front of him, although he tried to hide it, Chen Mo could still see the worry in his eyes.

Under Chen Mo's sharp and wise gaze, which seemed to know everything, Andrew felt as if he had been completely seen through, and there was no trace of secrets.

"Do you have anything to say about this attack on the Marquis of Leonard?"

Chen Mo looked at Andrew's eyes and asked slowly.

Under Chen Mo's gaze, Andrew's forehead gradually oozed sweat, and finally seemed to have made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and spoke.

"My lord, I am actually from the territory of Marquis Leonard, and my father was once a knight under the command of Marquis Leonard."

As if he had completely let go of his worries, Andrew said everything in one go.

It turned out that at the beginning, because Andrew's family could not afford the huge cost of him and his brother becoming knights, Andrew, as a young son, resolutely joined the territorial guard of the Marquis Leonard in order to realize his dream of becoming a knight and fought for him for many years.

With the strict knightly training since he was a child, he has strong strength and extraordinary talent, Andrew has made many military exploits, and it stands to reason that even if he can't become a knight, he should be appreciated by the lord, or at least become a squire knight or the head of the guard.

However, many years have passed, Andrew has even killed two werewolves with his own hands, but he has not been promoted in the slightest, and he is still an ordinary soldier.

The reason for this turned out to be because of the daughter of Marquis Leonard.

Once, Andrew and dozens of other soldiers and two knights were ordered to escort the marquis's daughter on a trip, who would have thought that they would encounter two terrifying werewolves.

Dozens of soldiers were slaughtered, the rest scattered, and the two knights killed only one werewolf and wounded the other.

Just when the two knights were all killed, the soldiers were killed and fled, and the noble lady was about to die in the wolf's mouth, Andrew, who survived, picked up the long sword dropped by one of the knights, stood up in front of her, and finally killed the werewolf at the cost of serious injuries, saving the young and beautiful noble lady.

A noble lady who has lived in a castle since she was a child and has never been in contact with the outside world, has experienced this thrilling crisis and has a secret affection for the brave and powerful Andrew.

Andrew also developed a good impression of this simple and kind, not at all arrogant and domineering beautiful girl, and the two secretly met and dated from time to time.

Experiencing the danger of nearly dying in the mouth of a werewolf last time, this weak aristocratic lady is also full of interest in swordsmanship, and after seeing Andrew's strength, she often asks Andrew to teach her swordsmanship.

After learning that his dream was to become a knight, she said that she would also become a female knight in the future and kill werewolves with him.

The two have been secretly dating and practicing swordsmanship like this, and the noble lady's swordsmanship is getting higher and higher, and the relationship between the two is getting deeper and deeper.

A few years later, the aristocratic lady reached the age of marriage, and Andrew, despite his efforts, was still an ordinary soldier, and it was impossible to marry the daughter of a noble marquis.

In the end, the Marquis Leonard set a marriage for her, but she was extremely persistent in her always docile, and would rather die than marry, and in order to show her determination, she even put on armor and blended into the knights, and followed them to the battlefield to fight the enemy.

In the end, the Marquis had to cancel the engagement, but then, he found Andrew, and it turned out that he had known about the two of them for a long time.

It's just that the two of them have not acted beyond the norm all along, just chatting, playing, and practicing swordsmanship, Marquis Leonard only thought that his daughter was rescued by him and trusted his strength, so he let him escort him every time, and he liked swordsmanship, so he learned from him, so he didn't interfere too much, just let his henchmen pay close attention.

For Andrew, Marquis Leonard didn't take it to heart, there were nearly 100 powerful knights under him, and the infantry was just cannon fodder in his eyes, and he wouldn't pay much attention to it at all, even if Andrew was much stronger than other soldiers, he still didn't look at it.

In his opinion, Andrew was just a slave playing with his master, and as for saving his daughter's life from the werewolf, this was what he should have done as a slave, and if he didn't protect his master, they should all be put to death!

Discovering the relationship between the two, the Marquis Leonard was furious, and because of his daughter's current strong character, the Marquis did not directly execute Andrew, but expelled him and asked him to leave her a letter so that she could completely die.

According to Marquis Leonard, you, a pariah, are not worthy of the honorable Miss Marquis at all, so don't be delusional, only nobles can be worthy of his beautiful and noble daughter.

Andrew felt that it was hopeless to become a knight, let alone a nobleman, and asked himself if he could not match her and give her a better life, so he left a letter according to the marquis's request, and left the marquis's territory gloomily, and came to live in the small village where he met Chen Mo, intending to forget the past and spend this life in an ordinary way.

But how could he forget, he would always remember the beautiful girl who wielded the sword with him.

Her name is Amelia!
