"I come from a distant branch of Davis, a family of earls in the western realm of the kingdom, and my father was a brave baron who fought against the orcs and was sealed in Manyo.

However, in the winter of six years ago, due to the negligence of the governor of the Western Frontier Line, a group of more than 1,000 orcs flowed into the kingdom.

They stumbled into the city of Manyau, my father and mother were killed, the whole city was slaughtered by the orcs, and I fled to my uncle's territory under the protection of the chief knight.

He was the brother of his father and his mother, and he thought I could get help from him, and at first he did send troops to fight off the orcs, but later, he put us under house arrest and declared that our family had no one left alive.

I escaped by chance, and later learned that the second son of my uncle had inherited the title of our family, and that he was the most suitable heir besides me according to the laws of the kingdom. ”

Alan spoke calmly, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

Ryan looked at him with a complicated face, all his family members died, and he was stabbed in the back by his closest uncle, it is a miracle that Alan has not turned black in such a situation, and he can still abide by the knightly virtues.

"Actually, you have a lot of ways to make them pay."

"I know that whether I tell the Lord about this or report them to the noble court, it will cost my uncle dearly.

However, I chose to give up. Anyway, he took my parents' bodies, avenged them, gave them a burial, and my uncle didn't bother me after I fled.

For that, I am very grateful to him.

Title...... If I don't have it, I don't have it, and I believe that I can make a meritorious service and get a knighthood like my father. ”

Allen's face was full of seriousness, and there was no resentment or remembrance of the title.

"But when you made a meritorious deed, they blocked your way up, do you still feel grateful?" Ryan couldn't help but sneer.

"It wasn't my uncle who did it, he's just a viscount, and he hasn't been able to erase my exploits, I think, it's the main one.

They are afraid that if I tell the truth at the canonization ceremony after I receive the knighthood, it will be a huge blow to the interests of the entire Davis family, which they cannot accept. ”

Allen broke through the key in one sentence, the characters who can make Chels jealous, and interfere with the merit review, except for the Earl Davis himself, who else can there be?

"Hehe, but they never cared what you really thought." Ryan sneered again and again, worthy of being a noble lord of the master, after discovering the mistake, he did not solve the mistake, but directly solved the source of the error.

Come to think of it, Alan has been in the army for so long, how could he not find out with the size of the Davis family? But instead of taking Eren back to correct that mistake, they created another mistake in order to protect the prestige and interests of the family.

It's just that I don't know why they didn't choose to kill Allen, which is very inconsistent with the code of conduct of the nobility.

Thinking of this, Ryan also knew why Alan didn't leave with him, the Davis family is indeed not something he can afford to offend, as long as he is a normal person, he knows how to choose.

However, he is Ryan. Thunder. Black! Never play cards according to routines.

Ryan put his hand on his shoulder, and said with a straight face: "As long as you accept my recruitment, what about the Davis family, I am a pioneer lord, a border barrier, and a nobleman of the kingdom that His Majesty is about to canonize personally!"

No matter how strong the Davis family is, can they still send troops to attack me casually? Even if that day comes, remember what I told you? There is a weapon that allows civilians to defeat the transcendent. It can make ants shake the majestic city!

That's true, not my imagination. ”

Alan looked at Ryan's eyes in a daze, his blue pupils full of seriousness and confidence.

For some reason, he actually believed Ryan a little, even though it seemed very similar...... The vows made on Valentine's Day night are as unreliable.

But so what? He saved his own life, and he returned it to him if it was a big deal.

Alan knelt on one knee, touched his chest with one hand, and said solemnly: "I, Alan. Davis.

Swear allegiance to you, and I will be the sharpest sword and the strongest shield in your hands, guarding all that you have with my life, for generations to come, unto death! ”

Ryan also looked solemn and serious, he pulled out his sword, put it on Alan's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "I, Ryan. Thunder. Black. Accept your allegiance. ”

After that, he patted the sword three times, and the whole set of rituals was completed, and the etiquette during the war was simple, if it was a full set of rituals, it would be very cumbersome and complicated.

He doesn't like troublesome things.

Ryan helped Eren to his feet and handed him a piece of vellum paper, which was densely written with many terms, a blood oath, a contract that was said to be watched by the gods.

But Ryan thinks this thing is, after all, how can there be a mutiny in this world if the contract is valid?

The only purpose of this thing is to serve as proof of Allen's allegiance to Ryan, and if Ryan gives Allen a knighthood in the future, if he disagrees with Ryan, Ryan or his descendants can rely on this contract to make a reasonable crusade.

After all, in this world, it is also famous for its teachers.

Alan happily signed the contract, he had already made up his mind, and naturally he would not be entangled in this, even if it was a deed of sale, he would not hesitate to sign it.

Ryan was happy in his heart, and finally didn't let this talent slip out of the palm of his hand, the border is so dangerous, how dare he mix it without bringing a few talents.

Next, he had to think about recruiting soldiers, Ham and they needless to say, they had already sworn allegiance, so they naturally had to take it away, and the rest of the places, Ryan decided to face the officers of the fifth battalion under his leadership first.

First of all, I found a few brigade commanders, who were at least junior knights, educated, powerful, and experienced in combat.

Lane offered them a generous offer of a fifteen gimbaldes and an annual salary of fifteen kindlers, but five of the eight refused outright, and three of them, although they were intent on moving, retreated as soon as they heard about it at the border.

Helplessly, Ryan had to call his squad leader again, offered a high annual salary higher than one-third of the kingdom, and made all kinds of promises, this time nearly a dozen people agreed very simply.

But not for the sake of the monthly salary, but simply because of his personal prestige, they are willing to believe in Ryan.

This number was very dissatisfying to Ryan, and his plan was to recruit at least half of the officers for two hundred places, but it was impossible to see it that way.

I had to send someone to release the news to see how many people in the other troops were willing, and then he recruited soldiers if there was a vacancy.

At the same time, he also locked up a group of officers who were about to be discharged due to injuries in many troops, and these people could not go into battle to kill the enemy, and the training was still good.

The three days passed quickly, and finally more than thirty junior officers were recruited, and the commander of the brigade in addition to Allen was also named Delai. Gleason's knight, who had been a battalion-level adjutant, was not young and alone. Willing to follow Ryan for a knighthood.

The remaining more than 100 people are all experienced soldiers, as well as ten disabled veterans carefully selected by Lane, who together form Lane's team.

Oh, and Old Jack is among them.
