The residence of the Royal Knights, located in a side hall in the eastern part of the royal palace in Jerusalem, has a special prayer room, a rest room, a school reading room, and an infirmary.

As Lothar stepped into the arena, the system's prompt sounded:

You have activated a new milestone: [The Leader of a Lump]

As a high nobleman in the kingdom, you have taken on the role of Grand Master of the Order, this is a new beginning, and may you go further on this path.

Requirements: The Order has no less than a hundred cavalry. （91/100）

...

Lothar was slightly stunned, it seems that the existing cavalry of the Royal Knights should be 91 people.

This milestone is easy to accomplish, and it would be good to "induct" the hussars under your command.

The Royal Order is a secular order, not a military order, and does not need to be as strict as a lifelong vow.

The Ombudsman and the Treasurer, dressed in red and white burqas, soon walked out of the palace and came to greet them.

Before Lothar came, he had done his homework with Baron Gofrey, and basically understood the organizational framework of the Royal Knights.

The Ombudsman and the Treasurer, as the Order's most important logisticians, are the first things he must meet if he wants to find out the current situation of the Order.

The Inspector, who also served as the Dress Officer, supervised the ceremonial order of the Order, and was responsible for the procurement of clothing, usually standard gowns, and the sorting of the estates of fallen knights and sergeants, which were sent home in accordance with their wills.

The Treasurer, as the name suggests, is in charge of the Order's finances, including but not limited to the collection of taxes from the royal domain, the payment of subsidies (which are actually salaries) to poor knights, and the expenses that should be paid.

"Grand Master Lothar, I am Andrew de Porti, Inspector of the Royal Knights, from Valois, and I am honored to be received by you."

"I'm the treasurer, Richard de Huisen, from Aragon."

"Sorry, my Latin isn't very good, we can communicate in French."

Lothar said, "Andrew, go through the procedures for my subordinates to join the group, they don't need robes, just let the blacksmiths of the Royal Knights Order brand their armor with coats of arms." ”

"Richard, Saladin's army is coming, the war may start tomorrow, I need to know how much combat power the current royal knights have."

"Grand Master, there are a total of eighty-four knights registered in the Royal Knights, but more than half of them have returned to the continent and become honorary members."

Richard paused and continued: "There are currently thirty-four knights in Jerusalem, including you. The number of their attendants is unknown, but only 50 people are registered, and the total number of cavalry is probably more than eighty. ”

"There are also some knights and their attendants, stationed in various royal domains, but they should also have received a conscription order and are rushing to the Holy City."

"As for the sergeants, there are five hundred and four sergeants registered in the Royal Knights, of which two hundred are scattered in various royal domains, and they may or may not be recalled with the knights, I have no way of judging this."

Lothar nodded and said approvingly, "You are sensitive to numbers, and it can be seen that you are a very strict person. ”

Richard bowed slightly: "I am the second son of the family, and I studied at the church school in Chambéry for three years, and I prefer numbers to cumbersome scriptures and prayers. ”

"I'm also the second son of the family, and I don't even remember the names of my brothers who were sent to the convent."

After Lothar finished speaking, without waiting for Richard's reply, he continued: "Mr. Richard, if I remove the sergeants who need to stay in the palace and go out with the army, how many people can I bring with me?" ”

Richard pondered for a moment and said, "My lord, the palace is very large, and the number of guards needed is not small, and if you are on duty in normal times, one hundred and fifty people must be guarded everywhere every day. ”

"If you want to lead the knights on the expedition, you can draw up to three hundred sergeants, and this is still on the premise that the sergeants scattered in the various royal lords are brought by the knights."

"That is, three hundred sergeants and a hundred cavalry, right?"

Richard nodded, "Yes, that counts the cavalry you brought. ”

"I see."

"Tell me about the commander of our Order, Richard, I haven't met him yet, but hopefully this is a good colleague."

The commander was the deputy of the Order, and Baron Gofrey was transferred to the Order of Jerusalem as the deputy of Regent Raymond.

Richard hesitated, but still said: "Your Excellency Commander's name is Philippe von Welf, he is a good man, he treats his subordinates with great trust, I don't know if he is outstanding in military talent, but in internal affairs, when Baron Gofrey was still the Grand Master, there were many affairs to be handled by him." ”

"Welf?"

Lothar said with interest: "Duke of Saxony, is that Welf family of Henry the Lion?" ”

Richard nodded: "Yes, His Excellency Philip is the uncle of Duke Henry, he is a vassal loyal to the Emperor of Great Germania, has a county in Saxony, and currently only serves the duties of the commander, and does not owe allegiance to His Majesty Baldwin. ”

"I see, you go down first."

Lothar watched Richard de Huisen leave, and he closed the door of his room, the "induction" of the hussars under his command should be going well, and he had been informed that the milestone had been completed.

The reward is a four-star prop raffle ticket.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lothar chose to use it.

Inside the room, cyan light flickered, and a moment later, a crystal bottle filled with dark red liquid with cyan glow appeared in Lothar's palm.

Its name is a werewolf bloodline enhancement potion.

Grade: Extraordinary.

After taking it, it can make the other party obtain the blood of the werewolf, and the quality is very likely to jump to four stars.

Unlike the werewolf that Lothar once dealt with in the knightly tournament, Lothar created a game world in which werewolves are powerful magical creatures that are not inferior to vampires.

Compared to the fact that you can only get three attribute points every time you level up, which is equivalent to the level of three stars, it seems that it is not impossible to take this bottle of potion by yourself.

But the bloodline is a thing, as soon as you hear it, it is unique, and if you can draw a werewolf this time, you can naturally draw a bloodline that is stronger, has more potential, and has fewer side effects.

So Lothar didn't plan to take this potion herself from the beginning to the end.

He considered whether to give this bottle of potion to Baldwin IV, as werewolves, as immortals, would not be killed by leprosy.

This is also a disguised cure for Baldwin IV's ill.

It's just that hesitant to know that Baldwin IV wasn't the kind of old-fashioned theologian.

But werewolves aren't witches after all.

Under the propaganda of the church, werewolves are complete monsters, and anyone, whether Catholic, Orthodox, or Coptical, will be punished when they see it.

"Let's try it, Baldwin IV treated him well, and reciprocated the favor, and it would be a good thing to free him from the pain of leprosy."
