Chapter 622: Knights

"The victory in the defense of Mount Carlo is not only my own effort, but also the great Excellencies.

Of course, we cannot ignore the sacrifices and dedication of hundreds of brave and brave men in this war. ”

Luo Ming continued: "As a nobleman, you should know that loyalty is the highest honor.

I'm sure you've heard a lot of these stories, where loyal and brave heroes sacrifice and sacrifice, while mediocre kings ignore them, and eventually the country is ruined - whoever reads this will sigh and feel unworthy for the heroes.

But no matter how much our descendants lament and regret it, we will not be able to reverse what has happened in the past.

Every time I read these stories, I say to myself – don't leave a chance for posterity to lament. Since we are living in the present, we must strive to do the best in the present. ”

He looked around and said in a loud voice: "The people under my command, as long as they are loyal and brave, will surely receive the corresponding praise and glory!"

Although I was not born and raised in Schönbrunn, they shed blood and sweat for me, and I will treat them as brothers and sisters, and let them know that bravery and loyalty are always rewarded!

In this way, the wind of loyalty and courage will surely blow on the land of Meiquan for a long time!"

Regardless of what they thought, the nobles applauded unanimously for this beautiful speech.

Then, the applause gradually stopped, and Luo Ming continued.

"If I were an emperor with a golden crown on my head, then I would surely give hundreds of acres of fertile land to every loyal and brave man.

Of course, I don't have that much land, and I can't spend a lot of money, but I want to give the brave enough rewards...... At this time, my loyal and beautiful knight, Miss Granty, reminded me of the four words: 'Radiant Blade'.

Thank you for learning a lot from the Blade of Radiance, and for enlightening me a lot......"

At this point, there was a commotion among the nobles - as long as they weren't too obscure, they had heard of the name that often appeared in the legends.

Although they all guessed that Grant would be a big deal with the glorious and vindictive spirit, they didn't expect that she was actually a member of the legendary knights, and the news was so shocking that many nobles opened their mouths wide and couldn't close them.

Luo Ming also knew that the news was shocking, and paused slightly, waiting for them to come back to their senses before continuing: "Therefore, I have also decided to organize a knight order. ”

As he spoke, someone walked in carrying a large flag with a coat of arms drawn on it.

It is still Luo Ming's iconic red background and white cross sword flag, next to the cross sword, there are Shi Nong Gong and Gong, and there is a ring of walls outside, and hideous enemies can be seen faintly outside the wall.

(The term "gentry" here refers to gentlemen, clergy, officials, scholars, physicians, etc.)

Underneath the flag, an inscription was written by Luo Ming himself in gold letters.

"The Knights of Schönbrunn's Rescuers and Protectors – simply Schönbrunn Knights or Ambulance Knights. ”

This is how the names have been chosen these years, and Luo Ming has also followed the local customs - the full name of the Knights of the Radiant Blade seems to be longer than this.

Luo Ming said seriously: "The purpose of the establishment of this knight order is to rescue and defend, and to unite everyone for this purpose.

In the battle for the defense of Mount Carlo, all kinds of people in my territory rallied under my sword, craftsmen stayed up all night toiling, merchants donated a lot of supplies and were willing to provide more supplies on credit, farmers worked hard to reclaim the barren mountains, and soldiers did their duty in the face of a strong enemy. Either way, it's loyalty that I admire!

In this way, countless thin threads were twisted into a thick rope, and the strength of extreme tenacity was exerted, and we finally won the victory.

Therefore, the Knights of the Ambulance do not refuse to come, as long as they are working hard for the rescue and defense, they are eligible to join. ”

In the silence, Luo Ming then spoke: "Of course, too much honor cannot be said to be an honor, but I should at least give priority to rewarding the loyalty of the most prominent, and then praise all their dedication......

Alright, now I invite you to take the stage and accept my award. ”

The two attendants approached and opened a large wooden box in their hands, revealing a large number of medals in it—a lot of them, and they could not reach it alone.

The Order of Merit is divided into three classes, with the highest official Knight of the Order of Ambulance awarded to thirteen people, the second rank of the Order of Cadet Knight of the Ambulance of 28 people, and the most common Order of the Ambulance of 56 people.

Even the most ordinary ambulance medals are not shoddy, but made entirely of silver.

Seeing so many medals, the nobles knew that Luo Ming was by no means improvised, but had been preparing for a while.

However, no matter what kind of medal, it represents only a lifetime honor, and it cannot be hereditary, so the nobles feel that this is acceptable.

It's just that the object of Luo Ming's award is a little strange...... Officers, brave soldiers, or spellcasters, including a few merchants, craftsmen, and servants, as well as the "doctor" of Pelodiana.

Looking at the puzzled eyes of the nobles below, Luo Ming came one by one:

"The three merchants led by Saiyi did their best to help in this war, provided a large amount of scarce supplies to our army in the form of interest-free credit, and contacted more merchants to come to support together, and they deserve my gratitude.

Opal, the deputy head of my armor workshop, didn't close his eyes for three days and three nights in a row, ensuring that the eight breastplates built during this time were of excellent quality.

Crimean ......"

He didn't even need to look at any memo to call out the names and exploits of the honorees one by one, and as he spoke, the honorees smiled gratefully, while some of the nobles looked solemn.

Luo Ming didn't have to do anything more, so remembering everyone's names and achievements, and praising them in public, was originally the best strategy to buy people's hearts.

It is conceivable that whether it is the army, craftsmen, doctors, merchants, etc., they will respect and love him even more after this.

Speaking of which, forming a knight order is indeed a useful hand, but these little nobles don't have that strength, and now Luo Ming is actually a little early to do this, but he will definitely be able to become a county guard in the future, so it doesn't matter.

The members of the Order, with the exception of the higher rank of official ambulance knights, will only receive honors, a medal and a small annuity, and will not divide Romin's territory.

In this way, it can win people's hearts and enhance cohesion, which can really be said to be a matter of benefit and no expense.

Even a few nobles clamored to join the Order.

Luo Ming will most likely not give them extra land, but even if they join the Knights, the relationship with Luo Ming will be closer, and of course they are willing to hug their thighs again.
