"In the name of my father and me, I would like to extend my sincere greetings to the two esteemed elders!"

When Salad said this, he looked at the two of them with almost sincere eyes, and bowed respectfully.

In Salald's eyes, the most important thing that a knight should do is to be brave and fearless on the battlefield, and to be extremely loyal to his master and territory.

As for the paladins who circulated in the story, Salald did not take it seriously, and those so-called wise and brave people can still do the so-called "knightly proverbs" - knights who defend justice, protect the weak, and are not afraid are just a fabrication of posterity.

But now, two old men, who seemed to be the incarnations of the mythical paladins, were sitting in front of him and welcomed him warmly.

How could he not be moved?

Being able to defend the frontier of the empire under the nose of the orcs, and can also attack decisively to save the fleeing refugees, both wisdom and strategy can be seen, not to mention that the current Knights of the Dawn has been seriously shrunk - that is to say, these two old knights are almost defeated with a group of remnants to fight guerrilla attacks on the territory of the orcs, and the other party is still unaware!

No wonder, whether in the south or in the north, all the knights have their goal of joining the Knights of the Dawn, and Salad understands what it is like to be able to be regarded as the ultimate liliang by the Empire!

Whether it is swordsmanship or wisdom, it is just a foil, and the extremely proud heart and belief are the reasons why they have been able to persist until now!

Although Salald thinks that he still has some strategy, and he is proud of himself when it comes to killing the enemy, if it were to replace him, I am afraid that he would ............

What if, is that guy?

Shaking his head, although he was indeed very powerful, Salald did not think that he could do such a thing.

"So, what is the matter with the two of us, the honorable Grand Duke of Ultok?"

Terenus was not interested in the duke, known as the "Golden Lion", or rather he had little affection for the lords - a man who broke his oath was not a worthy knight in his eyes, no matter how capable he was.

Of course, since the other party lowered his posture so much, and was very sincere in letting his son come as a messenger, even if he was unhappy, he had to show a little meaning, otherwise it would be too rude.

What's more, there are still people on my side.

"My father, command me to come and greet you warriors who have stood firm in the Empire, you are all respectable people who deserve to be loved and admired by others. Salald smiled and straightened up, beckoning to the messenger who had come with him behind him: "For this purpose, I have brought fifty excellent Salion horses, and twenty carts of cured meat, as a gift for this meeting!"

Such an atmospheric wrist made the dawn knights on both sides of the hall whisper, and then the eyes that looked at the young knight also became warm.

Nowadays, the resources in the castle are still very tight, although the bread and other things are still relatively sufficient, but the meat is very scarce, only the experienced knights, and often have to go out can get some, and the occasional broth will also make these knights who were originally quite rich in life scramble.

Although strong willpower makes them firm in their beliefs, spiritual support is not equal to material support, and no great faith and glory can fill the belly of grumbling.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Landzel frowned and coughed, glanced at the knights standing on either side with unkind eyes, and then turned back to the direction of Salald: "On behalf of the brothers of the Knights of the Dawn, I thank the Grand Duke for his generosity. Please explain your intentions, as long as we can do our best. ”

"Huh. The young man smiled, although he failed to achieve the original goal, but it was good to make it clear in this way: "Father hopes to trade with the dwarves of the Southern Basin through the Honorable Knights!"

And so it was. The corners of Terenus' mouth twitched, and he muttered quietly.

"Of course, we will also provide sufficient food for the knights who hold on to this castle, even some of the war horses, and if the castle sends a signal, the army in the south of Salion will immediately go out to answer your actions!" Salald smiled and said loudly, "Please believe me, this is not a deal, but a small help to brave knights like you!"

Salald's conditions easily impressed the knights present, and it seems that it is very difficult to agree to such generous conditions, not to mention that the other party is still so enthusiastic.

Terenus let out a long sigh, he now understood that the old lion of Weishenme would let this son come as a messenger.

However, in doing so, it seems that there are plans to cultivate successors?

Although the other party was indeed a little cautious, but there was nothing to do with himself, Terenus reluctantly smiled after thinking about it, walked up to Zalard, and stretched out his right hand.

"Well, hopefully, we have won the friendship of the Grand Duke!"

"Swear by the sword," said Salald, holding his right hand tightly, "we will never break our word!"

"May the glorious cross shine forever on mankind shijie――――!!!"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Early the next morning, the refugees, who had rested for the night, were awakened from their sleep and, led by the knights, left the castle.

These people will follow Salald and his party to Salion, where they will start a new life, a new home, a new land, a new everything............

There is still confusion ahead, and these poor people, who have never taken their own destiny into their own hands, can only pray to the heavens, and nothing else can be done.

All they prayed for was hope, a visible hope.

After seeing them, Terenus seemed to be ten years old all of a sudden, and the glory, faith, and banner of the past were shattered on these people's bodies.

He can't remember how many hot-blooded good boys he persuaded and how many good guys he made painful to face reality and make them "sober".

Tired, he turned his head and looked at Salald: "Then, these people will be entrusted to you." ”

"In any case, please be kind to them, and please do not let these suffering people be covered by new darkness after they have left the darkness. ”

"I will, I'll treat them well. Salald earnestly assured: "I will treat them like my dealers." ”

“xiexie。 The old knight nodded, it was already very good that the other party could do this.

"Ah, by the way, I've heard that you've won a great battle at Severcro, destroying a wandering tribe of orcs. Terenus looked at him approvingly, "If that's the case, allow me to offer belated congratulations." ”

"It's true, although we sacrificed several worthy seniors, we still won the victory of Zuihou. Salald smiled and nodded: "And we have also gained an ally worthy of everyone's respect!"

"Huh, allies?"

"They...... Claiming to be a Roman, he came from overseas and founded his own city in the deserted Adolphin. Salald explained.

Of course, what really deserves respect is the keeping of the promises of these Romans. Speaking of this, Salald let out a long sigh: "In the battle of Severcro, although many adults responded immediately, only two or three people really did their best to help, and the Romans, their leader, led thousands of soldiers to Severcro just because of a promise to help each other in wartime, and made great achievements. ”

"They have a good leader. ”

That's all Terenus said.

"yes. Salald smiled.

"Oh, by the way, speaking of the Romans, there is a question that I don't know whether to ask or not. Salald turned his head, as if abruptly.

"Please. ”

"Have you ever heard of it............ A knight called, Elendil?"
