Chapter 30 Hurry up and grab the dragon head
"Hear our prayers, O my lord, and bless this sword with your mighty hand, which your servants wish to be admired, which protects the church, widows, and orphans, and all your servants from the ravages of the infidels, which terrifies the wicked, and which bears the dual duty of defending and fighting."
Baron Andag's personal priest looked at the large array of armoured cavalry and knightly attendants kneeling before him, praying for the protection of their swords.
Baron Conrad drew his knight's sword Dawn, his face was calm, according to the rules, the "sword ceremony" should be fully prepared to be held in the church.
It's just that now the evil dragon has begun to attack the monastery, and all the rituals to rescue the monastery can only be simplified.
Conrad stretched out his palm, and in front of his palm, a pure white aura appeared.
There are countless threads of light flowing in the aura, as if there is life, and according to the Church, the prayers and blessings of the clergy will cause the physical transformation of God into the body of each knight, and the power and presence of God will be with them in the form of a holy seal.
"By granting you this sword, you have become a warrior of God, may sincere God grant you courage, and may God be with you."
Conrad gently patted his holy sword on the shoulders of the warriors, and said his blessing.
Prince Brant was half-kneeling before his father, and Conrad struck him the shoulder with his holy sword, gritting his teeth and not screaming.
Tapping the shoulder with the blade of the sword was intended to remind the recipient that he had become a real knight at this time, and that he needed to strictly fulfill his code of conduct as a knight, not forgetting his identity, and being vigilant.
And for the gentle beating of others on his own body, it seems too heavy, this alert meaning is too obvious, as if to say, "Son, it's not that I don't want you to become a knight, but you are really useless, if it weren't for the evil dragon attacking the monastery now, it is the time to use people, I will never canonize you as a knight." ”
Knight Ryan was very strict with his youngest son, Hans, and Konrad, as his father, was obviously the same.
Prince Brant's slight depression at this time was soon ignored by King Conrad.
King Conrad removed himself from his son Brant, and looked at the knights' attendants with joy, nervousness, and longing on their faces, and his heart sank.
Theoretically, every knight is eligible to canonize others as knights, but the status of knights and knights cannot be generalized.
The knight's father, the elders of the family, lords, kings, archbishops, emperors, and popes are all qualified to perform sword ceremonies for others, and after being canonized, they are all knights.
Is it just that an undergraduate diploma from Harvard University can be the same as an undergraduate diploma from a community college?
For countless people, it is undoubtedly more glorious for Knight Lane to be crowned by the emperor, but this glory is not so easy to obtain.
The knight squires were already very happy to be canonized by their own knight masters, but they didn't expect that it was the king who personally canonized them this time.
The canonization of the king not only means that after surviving, he can naturally become a knight of King Conrad and have his own share of the estate.
If you don't give it to the people, not only do young people want to get the canonization of the great nobles, archbishops, and even emperors and popes, but even the big nobles and kings also like to canonize the young people, taking the opportunity to buy people's hearts, network talents, and expand their power.
If the dragon slaying can succeed, it will naturally not be a loss financially to canonize so many knights, and if the dragon slaying fails, if the vast majority of the knights present do not die, this will definitely bankrupt the barony's domain.
"Let's go, my knights!"
King Conrad drew his sword and pointed it directly at the abbot, and in an instant the entire army was advancing towards the monastery.
"Yes, my monarch."
The knights galloped towards the Abbey, with King Conrad and Knight Lane at the forefront.
"For the next battle, please let me and Raymond come first!"
Knight Ryan rode up to King Conrad and said solemnly.
"My friend, do you think you're better than me?"
Conrad smiled lightly, although the identities of the two were one baron, the other was a knight, one was a feudal lord and the other was a vassal, but the master-slave status of the two was not obvious.
It's not just that Knight Lane is an imperial knight canonized by the emperor, and he has considerable autonomy in his own right, but also the identity of both of them is also a knight.
Although knights are known as aristocratic reserves among the people, ordinary people think that when they become knights, they step into the aristocratic circle with half a foot, in fact, this sentence seems to be fine, but in fact this is actually not prepared.
Knight Ryan is a knight, Baron Conrad is also a knight, and kings and even emperors are also knights many times.
For example, in the story, King Arthur, King Saint-Louis of France, and Emperor Frederick I are all regarded as models of knights, and Roland, the protagonist of "The Song of Roland", died before the battle as a knight loyal to Charlemagne, and his identity was actually a count.
King Arthur was a king, a knight, and a member of the Knights of the Round Table, so this meant that he was politically a leader, but equal in personal rights to his own knights.
"The brilliance of your holy seal has dimmed now!"
Knight Ryan grasped King Conrad's arm with one hand, and the original dazzling light had begun to take on a dull state.
According to the Church, whoever becomes a monarch comes from God's favor, and the expression of favor is the holy seal.
The knights rule the land and the people are the lowest monarchs, and different levels of monarchs have different holy seal energy, so when the baron shares his holy seal with other new knights, it is undoubtedly to thin his favor and weaken his own power.
"If you want to kill the dragon with human life, then you can't charge ahead, but Ryan, whether it's you or me, can't fly!"
The corners of King Conrad's mouth showed bitterness, although they all possessed extraordinary powers, and after the knights were canonized, there were more than twenty transcendents.
But no one can fly, the dragon can not only fly but also breathe fire, and the scales on its body are still so indestructible.
To be able to fight against the dragon's flames, use a lot of the power of the Holy Seal to protect yourself, attack your opponents under the attack of the dragon's flames, jump from the sky and stab the dragons with a lifeless heart, and break through the defenses with the holy sword.
King Conrad looked at the Dawn of the Holy Sword in his hand, and since the whereabouts of the true Dawn of the Holy Sword were unknown, the Emperor invited master blacksmiths from all over the country to make batch after batch of sub-weapons.
Theoretically, users who meet the standards for the use of the sacred sword will be able to make the sacred sword resonate, and even the secondary weapon can produce power comparable to that of the real thing.
Just as the cross where the church is located is the auxiliary vessel of the fire of Jesus, the Son of God, but in the hands of different clergy, the power is also different.
The Sword of Dawn is the least powerful when darkness comes, and it is the most powerful until the first rays of light come.
"Big brother, why is your holy sword suddenly glowing?"
Knight Raymond suddenly pointed to the holy sword in Baron Conrad's hand, and the baron looked at the holy sword that suddenly glowed in surprise, not understanding what happened to this holy sword.
"It's not good, this holy sword has become a refinement, and he is absorbing my power."
As King Conrad spoke, the marching army stopped, and everyone gathered around the baron, looking at the holy sword in his hand, and a ray of light went directly towards the monastery.
"Power is attracting power, and the secondary weapon is also strong and weak, it's William Jr., no, he can't have such a strong force, it's Francis."
King Conrad suddenly understood, and said loudly, "The brave man is not dead yet, everyone rush me, don't let the brave man slaughter the dragon first." ”
Hurry up, follow me to grab the faucet!
