After a night of fierce fighting, Oran's body was in some pain, and finally he left the tower "cross-legged".

Karin, Mill, Adeza, Lady Nanbe...... And those women who have flirted, there are more and more women around Oran.

He sometimes wonders, in whose belly will the first child be born?

If he could, he would like it to be "Malm".

The son of the wife, the first heir to the legal system, can unite the retainers.

Other bastards, no matter how good they are, will have a much weaker foundation for innate rule.

When you are stronger, you have to find a very good family for the eldest son and marry.

He went back to his room, half-asleep, thinking that the family was getting stronger and stronger, and that he had thought of his son's name and grandson's name, and finally fell asleep satisfied.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, the sun was shining, and under the protection of Kunsang and others, he began to inspect Haizhen, and gathered the refugees and the new-faced manor owners to preach the power of the White Eagle Leader.

Now the territory dominated by Orlan is approaching one and a half counties, and it is still in the battle of the Black Forest, and it is a win.

Most of the people of Haizhen were very happy when he arrived.

Only strong lords can stand up to the Vikings, that's the consensus.

In the eyes of the foreign lords and clergy, Oran had a bad reputation, but the commoners saw and heard a different landscape.

Orlan announced to the crowd that the place would be in accordance with the laws and dogmas of the White Eagle Lord.

These people just understood that they had changed lords to protect themselves and make themselves pay taxes to them.

But the next words caused a commotion.

Kunsang had thirteen boys or adult men come to Oran.

Nanding also brought out fourteen teenagers selected from County Durham.

Twenty-seven people in total.

Two of Orlan's most trusted knights, on the left and right.

These teenagers stood in front of the gallows, and many of the people thought they were going to be executed, and they exchanged heads and whispered to each other.

"Your Excellency, according to your command, select from the county of Jeree, those whose families have been slain by the Vikings, and who are in good health, the oldest of whom are eighteen years old, and the youngest thirteen years old.

Orlan swept the faces of these people, young and weak, but there was always a mature and strong day.

Yesterday, when Orlan was in the process of multiplying his life, they practiced all night to master the etiquette of the first meeting with the lord.

"Who gave you the environment to live?" Kunsang Road.

"Your Excellency Oran." They back.

"Who gave you a chance for revenge?"

"Your Excellency Oran."

"For whom will your lives, and the blood and blood of your descendants, be sacrificed and fought for?"

"Your Excellency Oran."

Three questions and three answers, and the audience outside the venue also shouted.

Oran was satisfied, and the boys wore white eagle crosses around their necks.

Then Oran got up, his gaze drifting over the crowd, "On July 13, 865 A.D., Bember hereby proclaimed the establishment of the 'Knights' with the full name of 'Knights Hospitaller directly under Durham and Jereed under the jurisdiction of England. ’。

Orlan finished reciting the name of the place in one breath, for the time being, it was so long, and he would continue to extend it when he controlled more land in the future.

Only his direct subordinates know about the "Knights", and even Adesha, the others, are as confused as the local people.

Orlan gave him a look, and Kunsang raised his hands first, signaling everyone to be calm.

Oran then began to explain, "The land is in turmoil, the crows are roaring everywhere, people go out during the day, and the night may come back with a cold corpse, fear spreads, diseases are rampant, hell is empty, demons are present......"

Orlan speaks of the world as frightening, and in fact it is much the same, with little future in sight in the eyes of civilians.

"But don't be alarmed, for the eagles will drive out the crows, and their dragon ships will be turned into broken logs and become firewood for your cooking.

Later, in the towns, Bember set up 'hospitals' for safe and life-saving people, and they would provide shelter, food and lodging for passers-by, ......"

Treatment?

Asylum?

In England at this time, this kind of thing was generally done by the church, and the clergy controlled medical treatment, sacrifices, and spread divine grace and knowledge, so that the faith continued to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Man's natural reverence for faith arises.

But Oran wants to change.

It was also a time of religious turmoil, as Charlemagne's empire first suppressed the clergy and then slowly overtook it.

The gods of Odin wrestled with the angels, and the wrath of the north pressed their faces.

The crescent prophets of the south also went to war everywhere, armed with swords and scriptures, and spread their land in all directions.

Further east, on the grasslands, there are shamanic beliefs and Orthodox scriptures, as well as an ancient sect called "Brahman".

Oran wanted to absorb the canon of other sects and turn them to his advantage, so he first stripped the clergy of their omnipresent sense of participation.

In the end, they can only recite the scriptures, and they still read the scriptures that praise themselves.

In the future, the only person who saved their lives was the doctor, and the medical skills mastered by the doctor were all skills taught by the Vijay family.

Oran said in his high-pitched, youthful voice, "Soon, the 'Knights Hospitaller' will be feared by all Vikings, and envied by all the Lords of God. ”

He snapped his fingers again, and a banner that had already been made was taken out, and Oran shouted the Knights' slogan of faith, "The White Eagle spreads its wings, defends the land and saves the trouble!"

Hundreds of pairs of eyes can see, it is a white octagonal cross flag on a black background, also like four inverted V eucalyptus, the protrusions touch, converge at one point, there are two white eagle feathers on the left and right, there are ears of wheat on the eagle feathers, the ears of wheat symbolize wealth, and the eagle feathers indicate prestige.

When the flag was taken out, everyone knelt down and shouted, "The white eagle spreads its wings, defends the land and saves the disaster!"

Since it was a knightly order, Oran also allocated some of the horses in the collar to the past.

The newly formed Order of Knights will mainly have fifteen war horses.

As the lord of the White Eagle, Orlan naturally holds the position of "head of the regiment".

And this is a spliced order of knights, built with Welsh funds from Sals.

Due to the scarcity of horse resources and the high cost of armor and stomach, longbowmen were the main ones first.

Oran's plan was to first set up a 60-member cadet regiment, from which a few were selected as apprentice knights, who were trained by the very loyal knights of Kunsang and Nanding.

"Today" is also designated as "Knight's Day" by Oran, which is written into the law of the territory, and small-scale martial arts competitions are held on this day every year after that.

Oran thought that in two or three years, the Knights Hospitaller would be able to make a name for themselves.

Under this title, the Knights Hospitaller class is divided into four types: knights, clergymen, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers

Orlan began to canonize.

A total of seven nobles under his command entered the knightly guard.

They are Ghazi, Ladd, Nanding, Kunsan, Armand, Delim, and Tuman.

Gazi, as a baron, nominally the first vassal of Oran, is the first of the Seven Knights, and has many symbolic meanings.

Orlan summoned him to Seatown to assist in the battle at this moment, so as to prevent him from staying in the territory and studying any conspiracy.

It would be better if he died honorably later, and he would take care of his territory.

The second Ladd was the first subordinate of the lineage, and he was included in the list to appease his face, but this time he was not there, and Orlan left him in the territory to deal with general security affairs.

Nanding is third in the sequence and Kunsang is fourth, and both are knight instructors with actual power.

After the number of people is filled, one person out of every ten in the sixty-member youth group will be selected as a probationary knight, and Kunsang and Nanding will be allocated three places each.

Armand was also named, and Oran planned to seal him in Smon's domain and build a fortress between Edinburgh and Northumbria.

He is a knight with very balanced abilities, and he is calm enough to not like to be in the limelight, and he is more suitable than others in this important place.

Delim was able to be selected for sixth place, firstly, by virtue of his reputation in Jerey County, secondly, to show Oran's trust, and thirdly, to divide him from Adesha, and Orlan could use the name of the Knights to mobilize him at any time in the future.

Tuman was the last to enter the knighthood, and Orlan took a fancy to his throwing skills and the hard work he has shown lately.

Someone who has lost everything, give him a chance, and he will seize it.

And the most important reason is that at that time, Orlan consulted with Southamp to make him a child out of thin air, pretending to be left by his dead wife.

Successfully bought Tuman's sincere loyalty.

At first, Tuman was also suspicious.

has been locked up for ten years, and in his opinion, any good thing is followed by a conspiracy.

But when a girl who is not in danger, a bit like her own child, warmly calls her father, some answers can match the identity of his wife, and some old tokens found on the child, which makes his brain confused and difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

In the end, he stopped guessing and took the child as a gift.

After he gave up the search for the truth, he would never know, but Orlan first found an orphan, brainwashed him, made the orphan believe that it was true, regarded Tuman as his father, and used all kinds of means, from fake tokens to fake children.

Of course, it has to be believed by Tuman to succeed.

And he is alone, his family is all dead, and no matter how strong his killing skills are, he can't withstand the sound of "father".

After Tuman was called out, Oran also deliberately stretched out his hand to let him come closer, and whispered to him, "In two or three years, when your child is older, I will help her find a nun to be an initiation teacher and educate her to be a lady, and I will also help her to be baptized and become her 'godfather', and find a good noble son to make them a loving partner." ”

As a lord, it is a kind of grace to take care of the marriage of his children.

The word "godfather" is close to life coach.

Originally, the priest gave more guidance to some admiring disciples.

Later, the aristocracy adopted this method and adopted those close to them as godsons (近Yizi).

It is the very close elders who behave this way towards young children, and it is prevalent in God's territory.

Tuman respectfully saluted Oran, and he understood the truth of "gratitude, no thanks".

He made up his mind to join the other knights in forging this group of young men into powerful warriors.

……

……

At the same time, at Earl Castle, not far from Seatown's territory, Sally received a letter from Haman.

Unlike the previous times, this time she got it, ran back to her room, threw off her belt, kicked off her shoes, took off her cloak, and then jumped on the soft bed and began to read carefully.

After reading it, Sally smiled with satisfaction and spun back and forth on the bed a few times.

Haman is going to deal with the Golden Tooth with himself!

Later in the family meeting, she met with her father, Chucken, and told them the good news, and the knight Claidon was also there.

But he didn't say a word the whole time, and listened silently.

In the past, whenever Sally came to him, he always eagerly participated, because he felt that it was an honorary gathering for the Count to recognize himself as a member of their family, but now ...... Nothing remarkable!

There is something wrong with Credan today, but Sally only thought that he had taken the initiative to go out to investigate a few days ago, and he had no intention of running into the Vikings, leaving a wound, and the fatigue had not subsided.

However, Earl was a little dissatisfied, and casually sent Kerk to climb down.

When there were only three people left in the room, he said, "In the future, don't call him for this kind of meeting." ”

"Father?"

"Listen to me." Eardau.

A few days ago, Cledon came to Earl and offered to marry Sally again after a long absence.

But he was still ruthlessly refused.

As the Vikings were fighting with Orlan inside and out, the distraught Earl even scolded Cledon.

Leaving the room, Cledan patrolled the castle and behaving.

Late in the evening, Earl celebrates with a drunken dream due to Sally's report of good news about Haman today.

Tonight, in this lonely city, there will be no "voice of desire" from the Count and other women.

In the early hours of the morning, when Kleden was on duty at night, he passed a dark stable, when a dark shadow suddenly slapped him on the back, and then the two entered a clean little black room with horse harness.

"Since you came back, I haven't had a chance to be alone, so did you give it to him?"

"Delivered safely, and after taking out the token he gave you, he managed to believe it all."

"Very good, even if the castle changes owners in the future, I will not let those stinky Vikings dominate, the Earl people are old and stupid, listen to Sally's words and cooperate with the Vikings?

I have foreseen their misery, we must protect ourselves first, and we cannot let them hand over our 'fate'!"

In the dark environment, where the five fingers were missing, Claidon didn't pay attention to it, and his face touched the woman in front of him.

The man, who liked the man's young body, deliberately moved closer, and blew on Kleden's face.

"Please respect yourself, if the servant finds out that the 'mistress' of the castle has a tryst with the knight, then we will all be hanged." Credon said nervously.

But the woman's seductive voice, the vague teasing, and the sultry environment made him sweat, and Cledon felt parched in his mouth.

"This kind of thing, only once and countless times, you have already done it once, are you still afraid?"

Mrs. Nanbei's words made Credon have to recall that night.

That was before Orlan came here.

One night, with the help of alcohol, he tempted Earl and begged to marry Sally.

It was not because Earl had drunk too much the night before, and he had said that it was not bad for him to be his son-in-law.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Coupled with the fact that the Earl had told his father so very little, Cledon plucked up his courage.

But the nobles with status like to "talk doesn't count", and they are still called the miser's earl.

Marry the eldest daughter you love to a poor knight with few fiefdoms, this kind of marriage is a fool's errand.

The indifferent response caused Cledon to ride out and yell out to vent his anger, and go back to his manor to recuperate for a few days.

One day, I happened to meet "Mrs. Nanbei" who had returned from another church and stayed at her estate.

At first, Cledon just wanted to vent his words to Earl and did not act, so he acted like a voyeur.

But once desire arises, man is not much nobler than a wild beast.

In the end, Cledon also forgot who seduced whom?

However, both of them are very measured, and if this kind of thing fails, it will suffer terrible consequences.

And the hearts of the people are most afraid of comparison, and Mrs. Nanbei, who has always been chaste, has a disgust for the person next to her pillow after having a young knight who can be compared with her husband.

engulf

Pot-bellied, rude, stingy, overeating.

These traits that I had never cared about before began to care about and hated them.

Nanbei paid attention to the sturdy young men around him, but they were either too low in status or too timid, and flirted with them, I was afraid that they would not be immediately accused in Earl's ear.

Until Oran appeared, she satisfied all the beautiful longings for love in Nanbei's heart,

Those few days of getting along, that lingering, became her most obsessive time in Yewei County for more than ten years.

"The Count has broken his trust with me, but you are her wife, and you should support him the most."

After saying that, Nanbei's long pointed nails sank into his arm.

"Once, I had the opportunity to be a mother, but I just said a few words that he didn't like, punches and kicks, the unformed child slipped out of my legs and feet, and blood was all over the carpet, and after that, it was difficult for me to get pregnant!"

It turned out that the countess had an accidental miscarriage, and the truth was this.

Shi Laiden was speechless for a moment, a little pity.

But Mrs. Nambe immediately touched her belly, "Your Excellency Oran said that he would give me a child, and perhaps I would soon be able to become a mother again."

And you, will be Sally's husband and my child!"

My mother?

Sleiden was sick to his stomach and even fled the stables in fear.

He knew that the past self that had been in the heart of the Seven Senses could never be recovered.

But there is no turning back in life, you can only keep going.
