After feeling a small shock from Lessio, Zhaoming is looking forward to this talent recruitment plan more and more.

In order to maximize the scope of the search, Trisda proposes to set the time back to next year, after the grain harvest, so that they can save a lot of time.

After this busy time, Zhao Ming started his new plan, he had to deal with a matter that had been put on hold for a long time.

That is, for nearly a month, Zhaoming has been going out early and returning late.

At first, the maid Elusa thought that he was busy with work every day, but gradually she realized that something was wrong.

The first is that Grusch and Trisda are coming to the house more and more often, which means that the lord has been going to the town hall less and less often, and they can only come to the door to report in person.

And recently, Zhaoming doesn't know if it's a bad mood, Elusa always feels that the owner is a little cold to herself, and even slept in a separate room with her recently!

However, when she went to the town hall to ask Kaeya about them, they also expressed their confusion about the lord's recent behavior.

Suspicious, so suspicious!

Elusa had countless thoughts in her heart, wouldn't the master like someone else outside?

No, no, Elusa immediately dismissed this idea, even so, the master should not slack off on the work of the government.

Puzzled, Elusa decided to sneak into her master's nearest room to find out.

It was late in the evening, and Zhaoming didn't usually come back at this time, but he had ordered that he should not enter the room.

In the kitchen, Barnett, the cook, was preparing dinner with the children, and Elusa sneaked into the lighted room while they were not looking.

After opening the door lightly, Elusa cautiously poked her head in before moving her body inside.

Due to the dim light, Elusa could not see inside, so she had to go back outside to get a candlestick.

"Whew—" Elusa, who was a thief, sighed.

Then she slowly walked towards the table in the room, holding the candlestick in her hand.

When the maid took a closer look, she was surprised to find a large pile of papers neatly arranged on the table.

The pieces of paper were about the size of a palm, and each one was slightly yellowed and wrinkled.

Elusa carefully flipped open one, which was printed with the emblem of the Knights of Chenhui - a white star on a black background.

"Eldos, the first Grand Master of the Chenhui Knights, a native of the southeastern part of the Kingdom of Tranya, died in the Battle of the Gray Valley, and passed on the rank of the first company commander Kellet......"

"Dominic, the first Grand Mentor of the Chenhui Knights, a native of the south of Daedalus, died in the defense of the ferry, because there was no designated heir to the position of the Great Mentor, and the head of the regiment, Caliss, concurrently served as ......"

"Kelis, the former commander of the first company of the Chenhui Knights, a native of the Kingdom of Kassel, took over the position of regimental commander after the Battle of Gray Valley, and served as the Grand Instructor after the Battle of the Ferry Defense......"

Elusa looked at the names and biographical introductions on them, and it turned out that these were the rosters of the Chenhui Knights.

The maid, who realized that she had offended the martyrs, immediately put the piece of paper back, but she didn't expect that the door behind her was pushed open at this time!

"Who is it?" A familiar voice came from outside the door, and Elusa realized something was wrong.

When Zhaoming came back, he saw that Elusa did not greet him at the door as usual, and saw that the door of his room was ajar, and he was immediately anxious.

After checking each other's eyes, Elusa hurriedly apologized to her master.

"I'm sorry host, I didn't mean to......"

Zhaoming, who was originally a little angry, suppressed his anger when he saw Elusa's appearance, and asked Elusa why she was here? I obviously explained that I couldn't enter this room.

After Elusa's explanation, Zhaoming understood what was going on.

"Elusa, come here." Zhaoming beckoned to the frightened maid, who slowly paced in front of his master.

Zhao Ming didn't blame Elusa, he did neglect a lot of things lately, and then he explained why he had been so strange lately.

It turned out that he had always wanted to build a memorial place for his brothers, but he had never had the opportunity. Now finally a little time has been freed up, so lately have been busy putting together their roster and exploration addresses.

After listening to Zhaoming's explanation, Elusa nodded to show that she understood her master, and apologized once again for her mistake.

In order to give Elusa peace of mind, Zhaoming asked her to help sort it out together.

The two of them carefully folded the pieces of paper, and Zhaoming wrote down the information on them in a large booklet.

For all the brothers who died, Zhaoming had to give them a bereavement pension, because they had never been able to contact the Holy Domain, and I am afraid that they did not know the current situation.

In addition, if the brothers' families are willing, Akira wants to take them to Black Rock City to take care of them, and at least come and see the upcoming memorial.

In addition, in addition to the people who posted recruitment notices everywhere recently, Zhaoming also sent another team to the Sacred Domain to report the situation.

The news of the almost extinction of the Chenhui Knights only spread in the nearby area, and the Pope did not know about it.

Zhao Ming made up his mind about the aftermath of his brothers. They can do it themselves, but their loyalty and fearlessness must be known to the world.

"Your Excellency, please have mercy on the knights who fight for the Goddess." After writing the last word, a tear slipped from the corner of Zhaoming's eye and fell on the pause of pen and ink.

……

Early the next morning, Zhaoming came to the camp and ordered Joseph to take thirty people and do something himself.

Because of Trisda's "friendship sponsorship", Zhaoming was able to get a batch of good horses without spending faith points.

Taking this opportunity, the cavalry unit of the Black Rock Guard was officially formed, and the commander Joseph also served as the cavalry captain.

The mighty cavalry assembled at the city gates, and Lesio and Kaeya were called there.

"Do you have any orders, lordship?"

The two of them were called here in a daze early in the morning, and their consciousness was not yet very clear.

Zhaoming put on his helmet and said, "There is a building on that mountain that I built with a sand table, you take someone to clean it today." ”

Yes? Lesio and Kaeya thought it was a bit incredible, the lord had to make a big move every time he used the sand table, why didn't they know this time?

Zhao Ming was in a hurry to set off with the cavalry team, and did not explain too much to them about the fact that he had upgraded the secret method sand table.

The current secret sand table is no longer what it used to be after being blessed with 500 faith points, and can be built in an instant, the only downside is that the magic consumption has also increased.

……

This mighty cavalry army, led by a person wearing black armor, a black war horse on his hips, and a cloak of white stars on a black background, is the head of the Chenhui Knights, Zhaoming.

The cavalry behind him was a cape of black stars on a white background, and the horses under their crotch were much thinner than the lord's desert hooves.

Because he has a full-level navigation skill, Zhao Ming himself is a living map, and he is rushing towards the target location.

Joseph and the others, who didn't know the way, could only gallop behind him desperately, for fear of being left behind by the lord.

The ruined town that Zhaoming had crossed to was 150 kilometers from Black Rock City, and after marching for most of the day, they finally reached their destination in the afternoon.

"Stop!"

With Zhaoming's order, the cavalry turned over and dismounted, leading their mounts down the broken streets.

Seeing the desolate and dilapidated scene in front of him, Joseph asked the lord beside him, "My lord, where is this place?" ”

Zhaoming looked at the familiar street in front of him, the place of his arrival and the place where his brother Ryan died.

Although there was a helmet to cover it so that the entourage did not see the tears they shed, the crying voice still made Joseph and the others feel the vibration of the lord's heart.

"Here... It was the place where our knights fought for the last time, and I buried my brothers there..."

Zhaoming's voice trembled a little, although he had only traveled for a few months, he had the memory of fighting side by side with his brothers in the Knights for many years.

On the way to the place where the brothers are buried, Zhao Ming has scenes of the past in his mind.

The Order of Chenhui was formed at the behest of the Pope......

Zhao Ming and Ryan join the Order as a novice knight......

In the fiasco of the Gray Valley, the head of the regiment died together with the demon leader in order to cover everyone......

In order to gain the opportunity to retreat the other knights, the Chenhui Knights fought for a day and a night in the icy river......

In the end, it was in front of his own eyes, right here, that Zhaoming was entrusted by the head of the regiment, Kellet, to take over the important task.

When he walked to the city hall here, Zhaoming did not find the surviving people, only the stone tablet carved by himself.

Zhaoming sighed that it was really a creation of people, those people were unwilling to give up their homeland and leave by themselves, and they were probably already buried in the belly of the demon if they stayed in this kind of place close to the dark border.

But now that he can't control so much for the time being, Zhaoming stretched out his hand and unleashed magic to manipulate the tomb left before.

An earthwork 30 meters long, 15 meters wide and 2 meters deep was neatly removed from the surface.

Zhaoming lowered his head as if he was chanting some incantation, and his hands were raised high.

After about 10 minutes, the huge amount of earth was suspended in the sky above Zhaoming's head.

"Let's go, go back to Black Rock!"

The cavalry team set off again, carrying with them the earthwork where the Chenhui Knights were buried.
