Chapter 838 The First Batch of Knights Graduated!

Chapter 847 The first batch of knights graduated!

Roland's brainwashing of Denethor II was very successful, and the erudite Adolf Heinrich could not find any fault with it. Of course, the city of Rapids was also prosperous under the control of Queen Nyx.

...

"Hello, Lord Adile, what can you do for you?" Nyx sat on the first seat and looked at the old man Adile who was meeting below. This old hero who was at the end of his career would not take the initiative to find them, which made Nyx a little nervous. She couldn't help but sit up straight and look at the old man below. She didn't know what important things could cause this old man to come to see her.

"Your Majesty, this year's knights are about to graduate, you see..." Adile hesitated.

Looking at Adile's old face, Nyx's heart moved, and she suddenly realized that the seeds planted five years ago have now borne fruit!

Five years ago, under Roland's instructions, the Kingdom of Lagrande took the lead in completing the construction of the knight career system! From the most basic knight school to the advanced knight arena, it is now the harvest season!

"How many professional knights can the temple provide to the kingdom this year?" Nix asked curiously. After all, education and professional system is a slow process. Nix and Roland did not expect to get results quickly. As a result, five years later, the first batch of knights who studied systematically in the kingdom were born! This is not the war barbarian that Adile found some seedlings and trained them in a quick way. These knights have focused on cultural training and combat literacy since their training. In other words, these knights will become the cornerstone of the kingdom's future (after they retire), and the future sheriffs of the kingdom and even the empire are them!

"Five excellent graduating knights can be provided this year! Each of them has been trained by the kingdom system and has the potential to become a grassroots officer. The only thing they lack is practical training." Adile said calmly, as if five knights were a very glorious thing.

"Only five knights?" Nix frowned a little. She did not expect that after five years of polishing, the knight system created by selecting young people with knight potential in the whole kingdom could only provide five regular knights a year.

"Well... there are only five knights who can really graduate, and the others are either trainee knights or have not yet entered the threshold of knighthood..." Adile had a bitter face. It was a test of a person's ability to create something from scratch. It was good enough that he could use Roland's broken ship to play to this situation.

"After all, we are training the backbone of the future kingdom, elite knights who are armed and sharp to expand the territory for His Majesty, not reckless men who only know how to kill..." Adile explained. If it were just to ask for people, it would be too simple! But that kind of cannon fodder knight has no future. He believed that Roland and Nix would not go to such great lengths just to get a group of cannon fodder that can be consumed quickly.

"You are right! Since His Majesty is not here, I will exercise the authority of the queen!" Then Nix lifted her skirt and stood up solemnly.

"I will formally enthrone them as knights of the kingdom and witness their oath of loyalty!" Nix's voice was calm and majestic.

"Yes!" Although Adile was excited, he remained calm.

As Roland's wife and the queen of the Kingdom of Lagran, Nyx has the right to exercise the rights of a queen. After all, in the political system of the Lagran Empire, the emperor and the queen are almost dual rulers. Both of them have their own legal political rights and can restrict each other. However, queens rarely rule in the name of the queen. Although they don't often use it, they do have this right. Now Nyx will exercise her queen's authority to enthronize and accept these new knights.

The reason why Nyx did this is that although knights are not nobles, they still need the recognition and enthronement of the lords to comply with the law. Although there are many lords who can witness the enthronement of knights here, Nyx is here after all. According to the title and status, it should be Nyx who does it. In addition, she thinks there is no need to trouble Roland for such a small matter, so she just does it herself.

...

"Hey? The first batch of knights graduated from the Knight School?" Roland looked at the briefing from the City of Rapids, which clearly recorded the results of the successful establishment and birth of the knight system and Nyx's enthronement and acceptance of the knights' loyalty.

"So few? Only five?" Darion Nightblade was eating cheese on the side, and suddenly heard something exciting, so he hurried over and was a little disappointed.

"Few? The kingdom should be happy that it can train strategic talents like knights in a self-sufficient and systematic way!" Roland said unhappily. You know, just Adile and some retired knights can run the entire system of the Knights Templar, which already amazed Roland. You know, they are now training the Imperial Hexagonal Knights! They are not the "pseudo knights" that were hastily created (although they are also knights, their qualities are far inferior to those of the Temple Academy knights who were trained in an organized manner! Their only role is to fight! And the Academy knights can do many more things!)

"The Knights are not in a hurry to expand. Isn't the Flow Road always under construction? Won't the candidates for the sheriffs of the towns along the way be decided?" Roland knocked on the table and set the tone. It is a crime to put these knights who are both civil and martial in the Knights to watch the sand with the orcs. The vast vacant grassroots positions in the kingdom are their real positions! (Although the knights given by the system are also Academy knights, Roland will not be stupid enough to do something as stupid as breaking up his own Knights.)

"Well, that's a good idea!" Adolf Heinrich nodded in approval. There was no other way. Roland, who was short of grassroots officials at the time, almost planned to disband the Mage Corps and become a sheriff. Although a team of forbidden spell mages was very tempting, Roland did not lack that forbidden spell now. As the kingdom developed faster and faster, counter-urbanization was an inevitable trend. A large number of people would move away from the city to open up villages and towns. These villages and towns that sprung up like mushrooms after rain would inevitably involve the energy of the officials of the kingdom. Compared with the high-priced law enforcers, knights were much cheaper.

"Finally, a hidden danger in the future was solved, so we won't be in a hurry at that time!" Roland said easily. Don't think that there are only 5 people now, which seems not enough. You must know that this is a continuous training system, not a one-time deal! As long as Roland doesn't commit suicide, this system will continue to exist. Of course, he needs enough knights to pass on these things.

"Talk about our plan!" Adolf Heinrich hoped that Roland looked at the others again.

"It's obvious that Mordor will not start a war again. I think Mordor will probably fight Gondor to the death because of your majesty's plan. Mordor will not have time to care about us. The East Yi charioteers were also broken by our battle and are licking their wounds now. So what should we do next? This requires you to make a decision!" Adolf Heinrich turned the problem back to Roland.

"I suggest that we improve the capital first. Next, we will focus on recuperation. We will not take the initiative to provoke any war. As for bleeding them, let our allies and vassals do it!" Roland looked at everyone and laughed.
