The stirring vocals of "Woo ......" slowly flowed out of the horn and drifted into the distance on the sea breeze.

The sound of the horn comes from the small town of Dijo, a beautiful port city in the south of the kingdom of Scania, where the most arrogant sound of the waves is usually beaten, but now it is overshadowed by the noise and the playing of musical instruments.

Two rows of navy trees as straight as poplars stood on either side of the pier, and these brave men looked at the sea with solemn and proud expressions, and occasionally a seagull landed on the brim of their white hats, as if they were also infected by the atmosphere and became serious.

Behind the warriors were three admirals, who stood in order of rank. Compared with the immature pride of those young soldiers, these three people obviously experienced more vicissitudes after the war.

And behind these three generals, there are two very different people. They don't have thick arms, slightly raised chins, and even a slightly different smile, but these can't hide the temperament of the superior who is not angry but powerful.

On the right is a middle-aged man, dressed in a black suit, with well-made buttons, meticulous brown curls, and a carefully trimmed mustache, all of which show his good cultivation, and he is standing about half a body behind the man on the left, because that person is the reason for today's carnival in the town of Deyo.

This is an older man, the years have long since eaten away at his skin, but you can see in his eyes that he has a young heart, brave and determined. His ornate robes, soft shawls, and crowns encrusted with rare jewels reveal his true identity as King of Scania, Lord Rodwell, and the man on the right is the First Minister of the Kingdom, Duke Robert.

In times of peace, some countries can always be born by leaps and bounds, and in the vast continent of Chia, such a Scanian kingdom has risen. King Rodwell VII was a virtuous monarch, and as soon as he came to the throne, he used members of the reformists: Duke Robert and Generalissimo Heinze, the former was ordered to actively expand diplomacy, learn from the advanced technology of other countries, and vigorously develop industry, while the latter swept away all restless forces in the surrounding area, and kicked the old marshal who had been stubborn and self-serving to the frontier to guard a small town that could blow away a door with a sneez. Under the leadership of these three people, the Kingdom of Scania and the Duchy of Audru became the two great powers on the continent of Chia.

What's even more rare is that Rodwell VII reigned for more than 30 years, he did not rest on his laurels with age, but has always maintained a very advanced concept of governance, plus he was modest and introverted, handsome when he was young, and he fascinated the hearts of many young girls across the country as soon as he came to power, and even some men wanted to become women and become his queens. Just like in the small town of Deyo today, the people's cult of personality about him is simply exhilarating, and even his wave of a bee will attract cheers.

"The King's demeanor is still the same!

"Yes, I want to be the lucky bee and be driven away by the King!"

“......”

"Your Majesty," Duke Robert whispered, looking at the cheering crowd around him, "there seem to be more and more people around, and it is easy for Assassins to mix in on such occasions, do you think you should avoid it for a while?"

"Don't worry!" said the king, waving his hand, "Robert, as long as I have you, my heart will be well hidden, and there are no one of you?"

"Of course it is arranged, Your Majesty. Duke Robert bowed slightly, "It's just that in such an environment, it's better to be careful." ”

"Don't worry, although I'm old, my cultivation of Yuan has not been left behind. Moreover, Heinze's triumphant return this time means that the last piece of sea in the south has also been recovered, and I will have to wait for him myself no matter what...... Ah, here it is!" said that, as soon as the words fell, joy once again filled the old king's face.

At the intersection of sea and sky, a fleet vaguely appeared, and gradually, this majestic fleet became clearer and clearer. It consisted of 50 artillery galleons, all of which had been improved by Marshal Heinze himself; in particular, the main artillery ship headed by the ship, which was equipped with 100 guns on both sides of the hull and had a firing range of more than 1,500 meters; Heinze, who was experienced in combat, also wrapped copper skin around the hull below the waterline to improve its speed and performance. A series of measures caused the enemy to disarm and surrender early when they heard of Heinze's name.

The huge mainsail slowly came to rest, and as the band played and thundered cheers, a tall warrior walked towards the king. The warrior had two visible scars on his face, one of which was half obscured by his thick beard, and a silver armor with blood that had long since congealed. He walked up to the king, took off his battle helmet, and knelt down on one knee: "Tell Your Majesty that the island of Dergan in the southern sea has been recovered, and all the reactionaries have surrendered!"

"Good, good, good!" The three good words in a row fully expressed the old king's excitement, and suddenly he seemed to remember something, and asked, "Heinze, what ......is that?" What about civilian casualties, and your troops, and the soldiers, have all returned safely?"

"Back to Your Majesty, our army has done its best to minimize civilian casualties, and a total of seventeen people have died. Heinze bowed his head and replied truthfully, "Our army has lost thirty-eight deaths. ”

All my people!" sighed the old king.

"Your Majesty, the reactionaries have long since lost support there, and as soon as we arrived on the island of Dergan, civilians defected to us. The seventeen who died were some of the hostages they were taking. ”

"Hmph! one day I will set foot in their lair!" the old king said, "Robert, speed up the post-war construction of Dergan Island, and do a good job of pacifying the relatives of the dead soldiers!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" replied Robert.

"Come on, hurry up, Heinze!" the old king looked at his number one general with satisfaction, "Let's go back to the palace, the celebration banquet has already been prepared for you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Heinze then stood up, turned to his ship, and shouted loudly, "Brothers, we are home!"

With the overwhelming cheers of the great army, the great army slowly departed, but the town of Diyo was still bustling with people, and the people held a grand party for the arrival of the king and the triumph of the marshal, which lasted for nearly three days and three nights.

This was the kingdom of Scania under Rodway VII, which was moving towards a more civilized power, even though there were still many places where the sun could not shine. For example, in the southeastern coastal area, what was once a rugged jungle path has been carved out into a coastal road with gorgeous landscapes, especially since spring, when it becomes a famous tourist attraction. On the same day that the old king went to meet the generalissimo in the small town of Deyor, the sky here was also cloudless, and from time to time a flock of seabirds would fly by, and the fish in the sea would become a delicacy in their mouths; the waves on the sea level were mixed with patches of broken gold refracted by the sun; the cannas planted on the roadside formed a sea of red and yellow flowers; such a beautiful picture, coupled with the pleasant climate, often people would be attracted by the beautiful scenery and stop to watch. But at this moment, a man and a horse are inserted into this picture in disharmony.

In fact, if a prince were to ride a white horse and lead his retinue along the coastal avenue, the people around him would immediately take off their hats and bow down to salute, and it would be a picture of harmony between the monarch and the people, but in fact this man was neither a prince nor a white horse, but a reckless boy in a fighting suit with an inch head and a red horse with bared teeth, and this rare red horse was not ridden by the fighting boy and ran merrily, but chased him like he had cut off his horse's tail and went mad。 This scuffle attracted the attention of passers-by: "What happened to this kid with that strange horse?"

"This idiot! still doesn't give in!" the fighting boy shouted, but he didn't dare to pause in his hand, and constantly released the martial artist's unique qigong bullets to respond to the red horse's attack. And the red horse, each attack would spray a faint red flame, causing the fighting suit on his body to be tattered, and with a "ding" sound, a badge also fell off.

"This ...... It's a monster horse!The Mr. Fighter seems to be trying to tame it!" After seeing the horse clearly, everyone exclaimed, and then the title of the fighting boy changed to Mr. Fight.

"Hey, young Mr. Fighter, your badge has dropped!" a little boy ran up and picked it up. Unfortunately, one man and one horse had already run away, and the boy's shouts could not be heard.

"Jim, come back!" the boy's father hurriedly pulled him back, "Huh......? The coat of arms of the Leiby Academy?"

"Leiby Academy!" he ...... He's not just a martial artist, he's a would-be knight!" said the boy's father excitedly.

"Roar!" everyone exclaimed again, and the vigorous back of the fighting boy gradually fading away, as if it had slowly turned from a black dot into a star, rising for everyone to admire.

In this world, knighthood is a respectable profession, and this group of people has a unique skill and shuttles through the various fields. However, the origin of knights is not very glamorous, it comes from a group of retired soldiers from a long time ago, this group of people just survived the harsh battlefield, came to civilization only to find that they are useless, shouting in the tavern all day long, and immediately draw their swords at the slightest disagreement. After all, they couldn't bring bread in this kind of muddy life, and their lives slowly began to become embarrassed, and finally, in a smash, the tavern was unwilling to accept them.

Just then, a pack of wild wolves rescued them. The hungry wolves searched and searched, and finally found a sheepfold, as if a group of lustful people had found a brothel, and had to come every night for recreation, but the farmer had no choice but to find this group of retired soldiers to destroy the wolves, and at the same time give them a certain amount of food and gold in return. After the end of this wolf extermination war, they also understood a truth, fists can also be exchanged for money. So these people began to do business everywhere, willing to do anything as long as they were paid, and called themselves mercenaries.

Gradually, this business spread. Once the war is over, although some meritorious generals can get the favor of the royal family, but most of the soldiers can only do nothing, with the meager help of well-wishers, and suddenly one day see these mercenaries with the same skills but with high remuneration, so with resentment towards the world, they also slowly join in. At first, the government didn't care how these petty rabbles could compare with the regular army. Until one day, this group of mercenaries developed more and more strongly, and finally developed from catching weasels farting for the villagers to uniting a mercenary army to destroy a city, and there was a king who was said to be a mercenary and kicked a general off the throne, and the poor general had to roll and roll in front of the king with a round belly that had been raised for more than ten years, so that the government had to pay attention.

At this time, the mercenary king had already become the climate, and he himself simply did not eat hard and soft, and he was completely unable to negotiate. In desperation, the ** teams had to unite and fight a big battle with the mercenary army led by the mercenary king, and both sides were defeated, until the Holy See, which the people had always believed in, came forward to end the war. With the mediation of the Holy See, the two sides calmed down, and this calmness gave an idea. There is a faction in the government alliance that there is a certain process of taming wild beasts, as long as given time, even wolves can be tamed into dogs to help humans, and some things make these mercenaries more effective. At that time, the mercenary king was also greatly injured, and accepted this proposal in order to take into account the overall situation.

So under the organization of the Holy See, the government alliance reached an agreement with these mercenaries, which allowed the existence of these mercenaries, and also allowed them to form a mercenary alliance, which must be supervised by the government and the Holy See, but can also stipulate its own alliance system, and can also get some special care. Later, after the death of the mercenary king, the government changed the name of the mercenary, and declared that it was necessary not only to restrict from the policy, but also to guide from the spirit, so the word knight was born. With the precipitation of time and the chivalric virtues promoted by the government, the unruly atmosphere of those people slowly faded.

At this time, the mercenaries were divided into two factions, one was loyal to the previous mercenary kings and preferred to live a free and free life, while the other believed that in times of peace, the support of the government and the Holy See would last. So in the context of this era, the two groups of people made a judgment, so the mercenary faction slowly faded out of sight.

However, the knights are also secretly cultivating their own power, they established the Knight Association, opened the Knight Academy, claiming to provide a way out for those homeless and hopeless poor ghosts, as long as they practice some martial arts, they can pass the test of the president of the association, they can obtain knight status and serve the association. This move was highly popular among the people, and governments were unable to interfere, and over time, the world calmed down again against the backdrop of a balance of forces on all sides.
