"Well, these things aren't what we need to think about right now. Presumably, Count Chenault should take care of the face of the royal family and will not easily refuse our entry application.www.biquge.info ”

Segru's words touched Kern's heart, and he really regarded Segru, who had followed him since childhood, as a son. What could be more satisfying for a father than the care he received from his son.

However, as the captain, he still has to give his subordinates enough confidence at all times, although he has no confidence in his heart.

"Captain—"

Just as Segru was about to say something, a shout caught his attention. With the hailing of Kern Knight, a dusty knight ran in from outside the camp.

The knight was about the same age as Kern, and he wore a one-piece cloak. Unlike Segru and Kern, however, his indigo-blue cloak was completely wet from the rain.

The cotton and linen cloak that clinged to the knight's body was somewhat transparent under the rain, and Segru could clearly see the outline of the armor under the cloak. At the hem of the cloak were dotted with mud spots of various sizes, splashed on the gallop of horses.

The sky was still overcast, as the light rain had just stopped. The knight's cloak is still wet, indicating that he braved the rain all the way back.

Segru was no stranger to this knight, as he was the herald sent by Kern to Morteling to apply for entry. What can make this steady knight so anxious is obviously a new development in the matter of entry applications.

Thinking of this, Seglo couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, like a suspect waiting for the verdict in the courtroom, praying for the mercy of fate.

If it were someone else, he would never be so worried, maybe the other party would make things difficult for them, but for the sake of the royal family, he would never refuse them entry. But the Count of Chenault was different, he was too young, as his own teacher said, youth is always unavoidable.

Once he and the others are turned away, then in order not to disgrace the name of the "Knights of Champions", the person in charge of this operation may ...... And this person in charge is none other than his teacher and the captain of this squad - Kern Knight.

As for sneaking in, no one, including Segre, thought of it that way.

You know, they are not a mercenary group, but a knight order with their own name, and if they sneak in, they will definitely be regarded by the lord as a person with ulterior motives, and it is even likely to cause a war between the royal family and the real nobles.

Luckily, the knight brought good news: "Captain, Molte has approved our entry application. ”

"Okay, I've had enough of the damn weather! you go down and rest first, we'll be leaving in a moment. Kern calmed the exhausted messenger knight before turning back and instructing, "Segru, tell everyone to pack up and prepare for Silvergray City." By the way, let them all speed up a bit, and it's best to rest in the warm inn of Silver Gray City tonight. ”

The news brought by the knight made a big stone in Kern's heart fall to the ground, and as long as they were allowed to enter, the mission was half the battle.

"Yes. ”

Segru received the salute, intending to tell everyone in the camp the good news as soon as possible, urging them to pack up and prepare for their departure. This kind of weather where the undead have to bark their teeth when they come is really unbearable for ordinary people, not only him, but also the other people in the camp have already been tortured by this clamand cold climate.

"Wait," Kern stopped Segru as he departed, he thought for a moment, and then said to his disciple with a surprised look on his face, "Don't put up flags when marching, and don't equip weapons except swords." Also, if you encounter a patrol guard in the Morte Territory, allow them to inspect our supplies, and remember not to get into a conflict with them. ”

"Sir!"

Segru shouted, angry at Kern's order. Even if the other party is his teacher, it is difficult for him to agree with such an order.

No flags, only swords, inspections, patrol guards in Morte Territory?What are you kidding!

Who are they? They are the Knights of Champions! If such a thing gets out, the name of "Champion" will probably become the laughing stock of their Knights.

"Do as I am told, it's proper courtesy!" Kern's tone was unusually stern, indicating that the order was unquestionable.

If it were someone else, I am afraid that I would not argue with the captain in this situation, and I would have been ordered to leave.

However, Seglo is no one else, so he rarely hides his emotions in front of Kern: "We are an army, not a mercenary group!"

Segru's words are a bit vexatious, and it is precisely because they are the army of the foreign leader that some things should be paid attention to. After all, face is given to each other.

If they're a mercenary group, the Molde Leader won't care what happens to you, but if there's the slightest suspicion, they'll take extraordinary measures. It is precisely because of their military status that Moltling is a lot more cautious in dealing with them, after all, they have to take into account the face of the royal family.

"Isn't it the least etiquette requirement for an army to go to another lord's territory without putting up a flag or wearing a weapon?

"Because we are the Knights of Champions!"

Segru uttered the words almost word for word, as solemnly as if the bishop were reading an oracle.

There are many regular knights on the material continent, but only four knights have been recognized by all forces, and the Champion Knights are one of them.

The name "Champion" is a glory earned by the blood of the Order's forefathers, and as a member of the Order, Seglo has every reason to be proud of it.

"Champion...... Yes, we are the Knights of Champions. But you have to understand that this title brings not only honor, but also responsibility. ”

Kern reached out and patted Segru on the shoulder, and his stern tone softened a lot: "We are the private soldiers of the royal family, and we should put the interests of the monarch first. Therefore, we must show due courtesy to the nobles, not because we are cowardly, but so as not to add enemies to the royal family. ”

"I ......"

The teacher's words made Seglo fall into deep thought, for a young man in his early twenties, the word "responsibility" was indeed a bit heavy.

"Do as I tell you, Segru. No one can disgrace the Order, but we don't need to cling to that worthless vanity, after all, we are knights, not nobles. ”

"But ......"

Segru's brow furrowed from the inner struggle, and reason told him that what the teacher said was right, but the fiery emotions in his heart made him completely unacceptable. His experience is not rich, and he has not yet been washed away by the tide of filth, and he still insists on his edges and corners.

Young people grew up listening to the legends of the Knights, and their identification with the Knights was no worse than that of the gods of devout believers.

In his mind, the Knights should be glorious and flawless, they don't need to bow to anyone, the only thing to do is to charge!

But now, the dream is shattered......

"Nothing, the frozen coast is not as simple as it seems. ”

Glancing at the still gloomy sky, Kern said pointedly.

"Where the flag goes, we have nothing to fear!"

Instead of answering Kern's words directly, Segru said a pre-battle prayer.

"You...... Stinky boy, you've taught me a lesson!"

Kern, who was laughed at by Segru, glared at his student fiercely, and said angrily: "It's not a question of whether you are afraid or not, but whether it is necessary or not, don't always think about yourself in the world, you should think more about the position of the royal family and the knights." This is also the responsibility you must pay to receive the glory!"

"Sir, I admit that what you said has a point, but I don't know to what extent we should accommodate the other side? I think that not only do we not want to start a war, but the other side should not want to either? In this case, mutual accommodation is the proper intention, and unilateral concessions will only make the other side feel that we are weak and can be bullied. ”

"You've really grown, Seglo. ”

Knight Kern sighed with emotion, the little boy who cowered back then has now become a man who can think independently, which gives him the illusion that he is old.

"You'd be thinking well of other nobles, but this Count of Chernoy is too young, and he recently killed a Bartow Flame Demon on his own. Now, it is the time when he is most proud, and it is also the time when he is most irrational. So, for the sake of the overall situation, let's try to accommodate this young hero!"

"Moreover, the nobles of the Frozen Coast, unlike the feudal nobles of other places, are not afraid of war. You know, their ancestors are basically followers of the goddess of winter, so it is impossible to overestimate them. ”

"Huh?"

Kern's words confused Segru, although he understood the meaning of every word in it, but why didn't he know what it meant when connected?Is there any inevitable connection between the followers of the goddess of winter and the overestimation of them, hasn't this goddess long since fallen?

As if seeing Segru's doubts, Kern explained, "It is precisely because the goddesses have fallen that they should be overestimated as much as possible, after all, the inheritance of a god represents not only wealth, but also power!"

"This ......."

The teacher's words startled Segru, and through the other party's guidance, he realized what he had overlooked, and finally understood why everyone was so secretive about the frozen shore.

"Okay, you can know this matter in your heart, and the things inside are not what we should think about. Go and pass on my commands, broaden your horizons, and don't let unnecessary vanity get in the way of you. ”

"Yes. ”

Segeru left thoughtfully, as if he had grown a lot in an instant.

Looking at the back of the student leaving, Kern's vicissitudes of life showed a smile of relief. He believed that with today's teachings, Seglo would soon be able to become a qualified leader and then his successor under the griffin banner.

Enthusiasm and courage are due, but the ability to judge the situation and understand the essence is also indispensable, and the Knights have been able to pass on to this day by more than just "charging".
