Chapter 36: The First Sight of the Camp

In the camp of Aven outside Lorraine, there were already many soldiers gathered on the training ground, and they were three or five people chatting together, and the discipline of the entire knight order was lax, and everyone was listless. Da Meng, who was usually a strict regiment, had no intention of reprimanding them at this time, and he stood alone on the east side of the school field, looking in the direction of the camp gate, and he could see that he was in a bad mood.

But whoever gets into his current situation can't be happy.

Damon was previously a member of the Kanuman and followed General Capone early on, and was a veteran of the Knights.

A few years earlier, General Capone had him reorganize a Knights to serve as a reserve force for Kanuman. Damon personally raised this team of five hundred men, and he recruited every soldier, and he took the lead in every battle. He dreams of one day returning to Kanuman with his children and becoming Lorraine's revered "Knight of the Black Rose." ”

But now, the dream is shattered, and a few days ago, he received a notification that this order, which has no name and only has the number "Evan 93", has changed hands, and the new owner is a young man named Damian.

Damon was very angry, but he was a soldier and had to accept the order, but the soldiers stopped doing it, they shouted, and a few aristocratic young people who wanted to join the Kanuman to "save the country" and join the regiment were even clamoring to quit the Knights.

"I'd like to see how you clean up this mess. Damon thought to himself.

In the distance, two knights appeared, and behind them, a carriage was followed.

Here it comes!

"All quiet!" Damon yelled. He wasn't going to give the new master a good face, but he also wanted to embarrass him too much, and the most basic knightly etiquette still had to be there.

The soldiers gathered together lazily, still talking to each other, and the situation was much better than before.

The horses approached, and slowly stopped at the camp gate. A young man who had flipped off his horse, dressed in a dark green mage's robe and holding a short-handled staff in his hand, saw Damon and walked forward enthusiastically, stretching out his hand from afar.

"Hello, hello, you are the head of Damon, right, I'm Damien, take care of me in the future. ”

Damon put his hands behind his back and did not shake hands with Damian, he said lightly: "The soldiers are waiting for you, please." After speaking, he pointed to the improvised high platform.

Damian withdrew his hand, smiled at Damon, and stepped straight onto the stage, but the squire knight beside him gave him a meaningful look.

Damian looked at the crowd of black people in the audience, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He saw the performance of the knight commander just now, and he knew in his heart that from the promising Black Rose Reserve Knight, to the little nobleman of unknown origin with him, everyone had complaints. No, he's not a nobleman yet, and his title of nobility hasn't come down yet.

It seems that today's meeting is destined to be not easy.

Damian waved his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet, but no one paid attention to him.

"Hahaha...... Fortunately, Damian's best thing is to resolve embarrassment, he laughed exaggeratedly, and now everyone turned their attention to him.

"The weather is good today, the wind is beautiful, I heard that the scenery here in the camp is beautiful, and when I saw it today, it was really so......

Damian rambled on a lot of nonsense, and he didn't get to the point until everyone looked at him like they were looking at an idiot.

"Knights, good morning, my name is Damian, I believe everyone already knows my identity, it's a pleasure to meet all of you from Evan 93, I brought you a little gift for the first time. Damian winked at Evans.

Evans walked to the carriage and lifted the black cloth covering it, only to see dozens of knights' swords on the board, Evans picked up a stack and returned to the high platform, and put the swords on the ground.

"Dorne Knight's Sword?" someone had already recognized the thing, and their eyes became hot.

The Dorne Knight Sword is made of real steel, and the blade is thin but sharpened like clay, almost comparable to the Purple Knight Sword that only high-ranking knights are eligible to wear, and is one of the best knight swords available on the market.

However, the only drawback is that it is expensive, a stalk costs more than 100 gold, and no one can afford it except for the nobles with strong financial resources.

And now these Dorne swords, which were prized by the knights, were thrown to the ground at random, like a pile of burning sticks that no one wanted.

"Everyone, come up and get it, I didn't bring so much today, it's on a first-come, first-served basis, but I promise that the members of the Knights will have one hand in the future. ”

"This is for us?" Many people began to become short of breath, especially when they heard the phrase first-come, first-served, and some almost stepped out of the line. The coveted Sword of Dorne is at hand, and just a few steps forward is at your fingertips, a deadly temptation for any knight.

"Are you bribing us?" a voice came from the back of the group, and the crowd followed the prestige, and a young man slowly stepped out.

"Although we are just a ragtag order of knights without a name, the honor of knights cannot be bought with money. His tone was categorical and resentful.

"I don't despise your behavior, so I refuse to pledge my allegiance to you. After the young man finished speaking, he unsheathed his sword and threw it on the ground, which was also a Dorne sword.

"It turned out that he was also a rich man, no wonder he was so confident. Damian sneered.

The young man was Banner, the son of an earl, and his father was a vassal, so he was familiar with the story of Moore's beloved Capone since he was a child, and out of idolatry, Banner embarked on a knightly path.

He joined this order for only one reason, and that was to one day become a member of the Kanuman and follow General Capone. So he was the one who was the most vocal opponent of the change of ownership of the Order.

"No one is forcing you to pledge your allegiance to me, and you can leave at any time. Damian's tone grew colder.

Banner looked at his companion and didn't speak, but picked up his sword and prepared to leave.

"Wait. Evans stopped him.

"You have insulted my master, and as the knight of Lord Damien's bodyguard, I will challenge you with honor. ”

Banner looked at the man in front of him, dressed in leather soft armor and with a steel sword hanging from his waist, just an ordinary guard.

Banner frowned, "I'm a mid-level knight, do you think you're making a wise decision?"

"Even if you're a great knight, I'm not going to retract what I just said. ”

"That's good. Banner grew angry, "But the sword has no eyes, don't blame me for what happens in a moment." ”

Banner drew his knight's sword and performed a knightly salute as usual, while the other side still didn't move, just watched him quietly.

"Since you don't know what to do, then I'll teach you a lesson. Banner raised his sword and stabbed diagonally, and the sword of Dorne slashed a white light in the air like lightning.

"Bang!" Banner felt a shock from the blade of the sword, and the whole person was also hit back by this huge force, his hand could no longer grasp the hilt of the sword, and the knight's sword flew out of force.

"How is that possible?!" the companions who were still cheering for Banner suddenly became dumb, and the audience fell silent.

Damon, who was standing under the high platform, opened his mouth wide, his eyes full of incredulity.

"Grand Knight?"
