The nobles in the hall had already noticed the young knight who came out with the Earl, but what they didn't expect was that he turned out to be the newly appointed captain of the guard of the Earl of Lockton. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

No one dared to question the Earl of Lockton's decision in this matter, after all, it was the captain of the Earl's own knightly guard.

Every nobleman in the hall gave Gray a serious look, and then remembered what he looked like, it was really intriguing to appoint the captain of the guard at this time, and he was such a young knight.

If this war goes well, Gray can easily gain a lot of military success in this position, and then it seems logical to become a nobleman, and a new family will be born in the Herion domain?

As soon as the nobles thought of this, their eyes immediately changed, some of the nobles looked at Gray vigilantly, some were silent, and some were happy to think about which of their daughters they would introduce to Gray, so that they could add a strong ally to their circle.

Fortunately, the nobles didn't know about Thor yet, the two new nobles, this was not something they could accept, so Count Lockton didn't mention Thor for the time being, and Thor naturally understood the truth.

Count Lockton beckoned, and the Knights next to him held a command sword and handed it to Count Lockton, who grabbed it in his hand at random, and then he called: "Sir Gray!" and immediately threw the command sword of the captain of the guard directly at Gray,

Gray was startled, but fortunately he reacted quickly enough to catch the command sword with quick movements, and heard the voice of the Earl of Lockton: "Okay, don't need these etiquette!" Then he said to the clerk below: "Convey this appointment at once!"

The Nepp Bachelor next to the Earl of Lockton was very dissatisfied with the Earl's refusal to be polite, but he did not speak out against the many nobles in the hall, and at this time it was more important to maintain the Earl's majesty than anything else.

"Are they all there?" said the Count's tone, as if the appointment of the captain of the guard was a trivial matter in his eyes.

Sir Dale walked over to the clerk, picked up a piece of parchment, looked at it carefully, and replied, "Lord Earl, you have arrived!"

The most important reason for gathering the lowest nobles during the territorial war is their private soldiers.

The noble private soldiers are the most powerful infantry in the human kingdom, they are all heavy armor warriors, and the only ones who can command these warriors are naturally the great lords they are loyal to, and the noble private soldiers of the Herian command are at least a thousand.

Hoplites were established thousands of years ago after the end of nomadic life of humans, and they were an important combat force against the orc wolf cavalry, so much so that the king later ordered that each village must provide a hoplite during the all-out war between the human kingdom and the orcs.

In this way, the hoplites did not know when they began to slowly develop into the private soldiers of the nobles, as long as there was a big battle, the great nobles could always quickly gather a large group of hoplites.

During normal times, the nobles would gather together and let their hoplites fight each other, and even later, a large group of nobles would unite and let the hoplites fight against each other, of course, with wooden weapons.

The nobles will bet on the gambling money on the side, and they will naturally not be convinced if they lose, and they will train their soldiers more frantically after they go back, wanting to earn it back next time, and those who win will naturally work harder to train their soldiers.

Now this activity is a favorite item of the aristocracy, and it was even more popular than knight duels for a time.

The Count asked some questions and then asked the nobles to leave the castle, and Gray followed them.

It was already dark, and the nobles dispersed in twos and threes, some went to the city to have some fun, and some returned to their houses in the aristocratic quarter, and many nobles came to invite Gray, but they were all politely rejected by Gray.

Luck had already learned that Gray had been promoted to captain of the Knights' Guard, so he was naturally congratulating.

The Knight Guard is the equivalent of the highest military branch of a territory, and all the knights under Gray's command are the commanders of the armies in the Herion domain.

The garrison of the guard was on the left side of the castle, built next to the castle, and Gray had been in and out of it countless times in the past two years, but this time it felt the best, because from now on, everything about the guard was in his hands.

The knights in time of war were on standby at all times, and they could not go home or do anything else, so now there were all the knights in the guard except for the knights who had already fought on the other side of the Ani.

Far away, Gray found Tyro standing in the doorway, he had obviously been standing for a long time, as if he was waiting for some important person, when he saw Gray, his eyes lit up obviously, and then trotted over, bowing and shouting, "Sir Gray!"

Gray glanced at him, and he stepped aside to make way for Gray.

As the saying goes, he doesn't stretch out his hand and don't hit the smiling man, and there are other knights watching next to him, Gray doesn't want to give people the impression that his gas is too small, which is not conducive to managing the guard, he smiled back with a slight smile: "Adjutant Taylor!"

The sound of 'adjutant' made Taylor's smile even stronger, and the two of them walked into the Knight Guard's station laughing as if they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Although the knights in the guard are very reluctant, but now they must come to congratulate Gray on his promotion to captain of the guard, many people have not yet changed, how did this usually dispensable role in the guard suddenly become the captain of the guard?

Gray has lived as an illegitimate child for more than ten years, and he has long been accustomed to observing words and feelings, although the knights are 'reluctant' almost on the face, but they have done enough etiquette, Gray can't go too far, and many things will have to be done by the knights below in the future.

Looking at the many knights around him, to be honest, Gray enjoyed the feeling now, he dreamed of this day, but he was not carried away by this moment's victory, he glanced at the knights in the station and said, "Everyone disperse." ”

Hearing this, all the knights breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly saluted and took their leave.

"Mark stays!" Gray said finally.

In the Captain's office at the Guard's station, Gray slowly walked over to the chair that belonged to the Captain of the Guard and sat down under the gaze of Mark and Taylor, and a very strange feeling rose in Gray's mind, but he liked it.

"Whatever you want to sit down. Gray said in the tone of his host's guest, he took a few deep breaths, then stared at Taylor and asked, "How are the two new cavalry brigades and an infantry regiment, and an archer brigade?"

This was the Earl of Lockton's primary concern.

Taylor immediately replied: "The infantry regiment and the archer brigade have been formed, and they are veterans who have just been discharged, and as long as they are equipped with a little training, they can be put into the battlefield, but the cavalry brigade has too high requirements for soldiers and is not easy to recruit, so they ......"

"How many people are missing?" asked Gray, not wanting to hear some nonsense.

Taylor had no choice but to reply: "The two cavalry brigades are still five hundred men!"

"Does Mark Knight have any specific arrangements now?" said Gray.

Taylor's heart tightened, a little embarrassed, "Mark's knight's ability is still good, but hasn't the captain of the guard been confirmed in the past few days?

Gray nodded, he patiently listened to what Taylor said, and then said: "Knight Mark, you are in charge of the rest of the two cavalry brigades, and the last five hundred men must be recruited before dark tomorrow!

"It can be done! Sir Gray!" said Mark, with a happy expression.

But Taylor next to him was shocked, and stood up with a 'swoop', Gray frowned and asked, "What's the matter, Knight Taylor?"

Taylor looked at Gray's cold eyes, smiled awkwardly and said, "No, it's okay!

Gray 'Grace' snorted, and then said to the door, "Outside is my new squire, named Ruken, you arrange for him!"
