Half an hour later.

"Don't fight, stop!"

Lothar sat on the ground panting.

"Honestly, how much effort did you make?"

Hans pondered for a moment, and replied, "Eighty percent is always there." ”

Although, Lothar's attainments in blood magic can already serve as a four-star mage, plus his other advantages.

is barely on par with Hans, the five-star shame, without leveling up and without performing a werewolf transformation, but the problem is that it was when Hans was not upgraded.

He is not short of money now, and for Hans, who has been by his side for a long time, where can he be stingy with wealth, he has also been promoted to level 30.

"Come with me, I have a riding spear for you, this is a divine weapon with indestructible characteristics, and I believe you can use its full power."

Lothar decided to give Hans the mounted cavalry spears.

It is conceivable that if there is a good horse, Hans is definitely a killing machine on the battlefield.

...

At noon, Lothar held a grand ceremony for the canonization of knighthood in the presence of the parish priest of Montreal.

He first read out the exploits of each of them to all the sergeants and knights of the crusaders.

Subsequently, in the tradition of the Gauls, each attendant was given the status of a knight of the flag, and received their official allegiance.

At the same time, Lothar ordered the craftsmen, designed their own coat of arms, and gave each of them a roll of silk, ten gold coins of Souledus.

From this day forward, they will all be in the ranks of the military aristocracy.

Lothar was at Jogrusburg, and prepared a small fief for them, of course, only in name, for many places were simply barren.

They did not have the financial resources or the means to build castles, estates, or to recruit displaced people to gather into villages.

For those who hold the title of knight, Lothar can only give a few gold coins as a reward, and more, a reward for honor.

For example, it was creatively proposed that in the knight class of the Royal Knights, the promotion of titles such as "Grand Knight" and "Knight Chief" can not only make the best use of talents, but also do not have to pay out of pocket.

The sergeants who witnessed this scene were extremely envious, and it was a blessing from Heavenly Father to be able to stand up to such a generous Grand Master!

I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in my heart, if I hadn't flinched on the battlefield before, but fought bravely to kill the enemy, would I have been able to get the title of a knight?

And this is exactly what Lothar wants.

In terms of meritorious deeds, it is completely enough to do this.

The dusty messenger is speeding through the streets.

When he saw Lothar, his eyes lit up: "Are you Lord Humphrey of Montreal?" The palace minister of Amalric has arrived near Montreal with a large army, so please prepare a resting place for the army in advance. ”

Lothar pointed to the coat of arms on the burqa on the front of his chest: "Someone who doesn't even know this coat of arms can be a messenger?" ”

The messenger's face changed slightly: "Sorry, my lord, please forgive my offense, I have just arrived in the Holy Land from Sicily. ”

"Do your duty, go."

Lothar waved her hand a little apprehensively.

He looked behind him, the familiar faces.

The second crusaders had arrived in Montreal, which meant that the day of the decisive battle against Saladin was approaching.

At that time, it is unknown whether half of these people will survive.

...

Outside Montreal.

In the distance, sand and dust rolled.

Fifty knights dressed in furious horses, carrying dovetails and square flags of various colors, marched forward in a flank of Amalric.

He looked with some smugness at the army behind him, and although he was a nobleman, he had the Count of Raymond and the Count of Renard on his head in Jerusalem.

I finally waited until both of them left.

Baldwin IV actually stepped forward again and took charge again.

Only during this period of time when he personally led the troops to the expedition could he truly enjoy the authority of "saying one thing and not saying anything" and "deciding with one word".

This feeling made him a little fluttery.

The army slowly marched towards the gates of Montreal.

One of the knights complained, "Why hasn't anyone come to greet you yet?" Don't you know that the honorable palace minister has already arrived? ”

These words can be regarded as saying that Amalric's heart is in trouble.

With a straight face, ignoring the chapped lips and exhausted sergeants who had been tortured by days of marching, he cried out in a loud voice: "Stop, send someone to urge, that Sir Humphrey send someone equal to me to meet me!" ”

He cursed in his heart.

He knew that Count Renard looked down on him, but after all, he was also an important member of the Queen Mother's party, and he spent a lot of money, recruited troops, and came to rescue Calleburg, why didn't even his son want to sell him a face?

Who knows that Montreal has not even elected a principal now, where can anyone still consider whether it will cause him to be dissatisfied with the so-called "palace minister" who relies on women to take the position?

When Lothar heard the news, she almost didn't laugh off her big teeth.

"Just let him wait, he will be the one who will lose face in the end."

"The gates are open, and you can just come in. Sure enough, the more people lack something, the more they care about something. ”

Lothar didn't care about the queen mother's concubine, the 3,000 "army" she led.

The gold content of this army was too low, except for more than fifty knights and their attendants, most of the rest were hastily trained levies, and they couldn't even put together a helmet or iron bracers.

As for the military expenses of the original city defense army, probably a considerable part of it was filled by this person.

Lothar is very confident, even if it is the Royal Knights, who are now broken, if they really want to put on a big battle, the winner is definitely the Royal Knights.

And the losses will not be great.

Amalric is really not a big deal for Lothar, although he is one of the favorite lovers of the Queen Mother.

But there were too many of the empress dowagers, and she almost "semi-publicly" kept many mistresses, and sent them to such important positions as bishops and court dignitaries.

Queen Angnes was the Count of Edessa and the sister of George Lin III.

She had been married twice, and after marrying the former king Amalric, she was rejected by the crowned Patriarch of Jerusalem because of her chaotic style, and openly declared that she was not worthy of the crown of Jerusalem.

So King Amalric married Mary Komnenos, the purple-clothed princess of the Eastern Empire royal family, the Komunens family.

If it weren't for the fact that Princess Sibylla had a son, she would not be worthy of competing with Princess Yin Sabella for the right to inherit the throne, because in the strict sense, both Baldwin IV and Princess Sibylla could only be regarded as "illegitimate children".

It took about an hour before a knight finally came to greet him.

It is said that he was scolded by Amalric, but the knight was also angry, and the two pointed at each other's noses and cursed, and staged a farce.

It was his younger brother, Juyin of Lusignan, who stood up and claimed that he was going to fight the other party to put an end to the farce.

"I really doubt how much combat power this Amalric and his 'army' have."

Lothar was enjoying the joke, but he didn't think that the joke would soon reach him.

"What, Amalric wants us to vacate the inn for him and his knights?"

Lothar's eyes widened.
