Chapter 65: The Visitation (Part II)

George III, who survived, was not ungrateful, and he rewarded the twelve surviving knights, saying that he would treat them with brotherly courtesy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

All twelve knights became honorary dukes, which was already the apex of the titles of honorary nobles. It's not that George III didn't want to canonize them as real nobles, but that these knights didn't meet the requirements for real titles.

The Fibona Code, signed between the temple and the feudal nobility, clearly states that no one can obtain or give the title or domain of the fictitious nobility to another person unless he or she has made a great contribution to the battle against the devil, even if the land is divided from his own domain.

Non-hereditary honorary titles of nobility do not fully express the gratitude of the king, and since these knights cannot be given better titles, then George III can only confer on them a higher status.

Guided by this idea, George III not only called several knights his brother in public on several occasions, but also invited them to dine at the same table with him, for which the royal family specially created a beautiful table to highlight the knights' status.

For the aristocracy, the long-standing dining table was also a way to show off their heritage, but no matter how different their tables were, one thing could not be changed: the shape of the table.

Not only the aristocracy, but also the dining tables of other classes of families were rectangular. Because such a table is not only beautiful, but also can be arranged according to the dignity of the elder and the youngest.

It can be said that the seating corresponding to the different positions of the table represents a certain deep meaning and cannot be sat at will, because it represents etiquette and also symbolizes the privilege of status.

However, the royal family's custom-made dining table is not a traditional rectangle, but a round one.

A table without edges and corners loses its role in dividing the ranks, which means that the knights who can sit at will are equal in status to George III.

This contempt for the law was resisted by the other honorary nobles and ministers, but all opposition was silenced by the in-force attitude of George III. Even when he met with the twelve dukes, he used a round conference table.

As a result, people have a specific title for these twelve honorary grand dukes - Knights of the Round Table.

Since then, this title, which has not been taken seriously by other nobles, has become the highest pursuit of other honorary nobles or knights of the guard.

The twelve Grand Dukes were so moved by the courtesy of their brothers that they voluntarily gave up their luxurious aristocratic life to train a private army for the royal family, and swore under the banner of griffins in the name of their ancestors that their descendants would always follow in the footsteps of the royal family until their blood was exhausted and their inheritance was broken.

George III agreed to their plea and personally named the 1,200-strong knight order "Daring Promise" to commemorate and praise the unwavering loyalty of the guards who traveled thousands of miles and sacrificed their lives to charge.

Since its establishment, the Fearless Knights have fought in the north and south, suppressed bandits and rebels, and made great achievements.

In the year 361 of the A.D., George VI held a military parade to honor the Fearless Knights who had just exterminated the cult of evil gods.

In this four-month siege and suppression, seven forces, including Dawn and the Temple of Harvest, participated in it, and the performance of the Dreadnought Knights was undoubtedly very impressive.

Whether it was the chief knight sent by the nobles, the bishop of the temple, and the priests, they all appreciated the heroic performance of the members of the Knights, so in order to further show the majesty of the royal family and intimidate others, George VI took the opportunity to hold a grand military parade.

The Intrepid Knights were the undisputed protagonists of the ceremony, and George VI decided to personally honour the Commander of the Intrepid Order.

However, during the awarding process, something happened that was very embarrassing for George VI.

In order to show the importance of the ceremony, the Knights of the Dreadnought wore a dress with medals on formal occasions like this.

However, the Knights have indeed made too many meritorious deeds over the years, and the honor will be inherited by the members who take over as the status is inherited.

The Dreadnought has always had 1,200 men, and unless someone dies, his juniors or newcomers can take up his armor and become a member of the Order.

Of course, the medal of honor, which symbolizes honor, will also be inherited by the successor and worn on his own dress.

With such a way of inheritance, it is natural that the members of the Knights have a lot of medals, especially the commanders of the cavalry regiments.

The whole person of the knight commander wearing all the medals is like a medal exhibition wall, and the upper body is full, and there is no place for the new medals to hang.

George VI, who walked in front of the Grand Master of the Order, was faced with this embarrassing scene, and he stood in front of the knight for five minutes with a fine medal in his hand, stunned not to find even the slightest gap in the dress that would allow him to hang the medal in his hand.

As for the arms hanging to the sides and the position behind the back, George VI didn't even think about it. This is the first time he has awarded a medal, what is the matter with hanging on his arms and back, and the level of medals he has awarded is not enough?

The king had a headache when he looked at the dense medals, and he couldn't wait to take one off and hang it in his hand.

Of course, this is just a thought, behind any medal represents the dedication and sacrifice of the Order. What does it mean for him to take them off, to deprive them of the honor they deserve? Not to mention that these medals were awarded by the king or his ancestors before him, and he is not qualified to take them off.

"Hang down?"

George VI thought so, and his gaze unconsciously moved downward.

The medal hangs well around the waist, and it is lined up below the other medals, so it will not lose its status.

However, if he wants to complete such a method of awarding, he may have to squat down as a medallist.

Originally, this was nothing, and the head of the Knights was also a descendant of the "Knights of the Round Table", so this award could show the importance he attached to the Knights of the Fearless. However, after all, this is a public place, and he squats down in front of a man, and those who are close can know that he is awarding the other party, and if he can't see clearly, he thinks that he is helping the other party solve some unspeakable secrets!

"Your Majesty—"

The whispered reminder of the close minister next to him made George VI's mind break away from that "beautiful" picture, and he settled his mind and came up with a way to get the best of both worlds, since the dress can't carry so many medals, so why not give him a new carrier?

The king, who had a new idea, began a speech of about fifteen minutes, and all the knights' medals were removed, and then they were gathered together, and all the medals that had not been repeated were selected and hung on the banner of the knights.

Since then, the so-called individual honors have been abolished by the Order, and all honors have been attributed to the team and shared by each member, which has not only not dampened the spirit of the knights, but has made them more united and more motivated.

Similarly, the Dreadnought Knights have a new name - "Glory"!

The Order's insignia also changed from a blood-stained sword to a fine medallion, the one George VI held in his hand at the time.

The name Knights of Glory brings pride and fighting spirit to the members of the Order, who used to fight for glory, but now they fight for glory. They no longer need medals to prove their bravery, because they themselves represent the medals that symbolize glory!

In the year 366 of the Divine Calendar, the Knights of Glory and the Wandering Knights fought against Nanno, chasing and fighting each other for nearly two days, and the Knights of Glory defeated each other at the cost of losing 30% of their members, and won a complete victory.

In the year 419 of the Divine Calendar, the evil god Baal was successfully reincarnated again and returned to the kingdom of God, and the Temple of Killing came to the front of the stage from the shadows.

In order to expand the influence of his own temple, with the support of Baal's divine power at any cost, the Killing Temple formed the Killing Knights, which would be a headache for any force, and tried to use it to support a member of the royal family to ascend to the throne.

In order to ensure that George VIII's reign would not be shaken by the rebels, the Knights of Glory abandoned their horses and fought on foot, sneaking in from the path, and attacking the Killing Knights stationed in the mountains not far from the king in the middle of the night.

The two sides fought from dark to dawn, and the entire tent in the garrison was stained scarlet with blood.

In the end, with the exception of a few Kill Knights who escaped with their lives, the entire Kill Knights were almost slaughtered.

After dawn, when the remaining knights of the Glorious Knights, less than a hundred knights, walked out of the camp with each other's arms, the entire empire was shocked while the various ambitious Xiaoxiao bowed their eyebrows......

PS: Some book friends asked about the update speed, here I can only say sorry, it's really not fast, everyone forgive me.

There are also book friends who say that they can't understand it, which makes the author's heart drip blood...... (laughs), digging and filling the pits is the process of the development of the novel, and the author will not write a bridge paragraph that has no effect, so everyone can rest assured.

I don't write an outline about what the protagonist has done and what he has gained, but to write out the main character who has appeared, and then write down what he will do, so there will be no things that can't be filled.

In addition, after comprehending the connotation of the cover, haven't you discovered the connotation of the content of this book?
