Chapter 717 Is Coming
"Hey, Manniu, why are you back again?"
Knight Burdette saw an old acquaintance. This Augusta had also served as a commander of a local battlefield and was a very senior knight.
Burdette thought he had turned to administration, but he didn't expect that he would still stay in the Augusta Knights.
Manniu laughed and was in high spirits: "I am a rough man. Being an official is not suitable for me, so I stayed. I didn't expect that there would be a day to go to the battlefield."
To be honest, with the end of the knights, many Augusta knights were not able to adapt.
Their era lasted only a few short years. Although they had an amazing record, they fell quickly in the end.
Of course, they were unwilling, and many people were not able to adapt.
So, some turned to the administrative system, and some turned to the military. In short, the way out was good.
Some chose to stay and serve as the personal guards of His Majesty the Emperor.
But there were not many people who could really persist in practicing martial arts and finally break through.
Many knights were very good at playing firearms, and they once became the mainstream.
Manniu was one of the few people who persisted to the end. He was born in a humble family, and you can tell from his name.
Although he learned some skills on the battlefield later, he didn't like being an official because his personality was not suitable.
He simply stayed in the Knights and taught the next generation.
Then he was not good at using guns, but he never slacked off in honing his martial arts.
Originally, this was a habit, and he was too lazy to change it.
Unexpectedly, this habit became an opportunity to change his destiny.
He still remembers the moment when he knelt down again in front of His Majesty and accepted baptism.
It is no exaggeration to say that this baptism gave him a second life.
The mortal Manniu has died, and what was born on the corpse is the extraordinary knight, the sacred bloodline, and the God-favored Manniu.
At this time, Manniu was also very happy to meet his old acquaintance Burdette again.
He got off the plane and went straight to His Majesty Qin as soon as possible.
He met Burdette in front of Songshan again.
The latter's status has always been higher than his. Manniu couldn't help asking: "Captain Burdette, when were you baptized?"
It's not that he has to compete with each other, it's just the knight's competitive spirit.
In response, Burdette raised his head proudly and said in a very proud but calm tone: "I am the first knight to be baptized by His Majesty, and the second extraordinary knight in the empire."
Manniu was relieved in one breath. Sure enough, the captain is the captain, one step faster than himself.
Burdette doesn't care about status, but he cares about honor.
So, after suppressing everyone in this way, he patted Manniu on the shoulder: "Don't call me captain in the future, I have retired, now I am just His Majesty's... God Knight."
Manniu stared at him with wide eyes, and the latter smiled and nodded, giving him an affirmative answer.
"Manniu, I think we can discuss about His Majesty when we have a chance."
"Okay... okay." Manniu stuttered a little. In fact, since twenty years ago, some people have regarded His Majesty as God.
It was only after the advent of the extraordinary that this idea became stronger and stronger.
Burdette had actually been brewing for a long time. He felt that the old doctrine could no longer adapt to the new era.
God had clearly come to the world, so why was he still holding the old-fashioned Bible and chanting.
If His Majesty is not God, then God should not exist.
There is only one God in this world, only one.
…
New Holy City!
Fernandez I was looking at a photo, which was cut out of a newspaper.
Newspapers from Daxia were always delivered to him at the first time.
It was just that in this issue of the newspaper, the editor used a large space to introduce the Knights of Augusta.
With the miracles they had created, it was not too much to publish it for a year in a row.
For Fernandez I, this was also an old friend.
He was too familiar with these guys, because it was the other side's charge again and again that shattered his beautiful dream.
He was awakened from nightmares many times, and he was scared by these old friends and broke out in cold sweats.
The familiar black knight armor, although the style was slightly changed, still revived his dead memory.
"A bunch of old guys, instead of taking good care of themselves, actually want to show off on the battlefield. They are really courting death." Fernandez I wanted to laugh. He thought he had no way to retaliate against these old guys, but he didn't expect that they would come to him at the last moment.
He really wanted to see how these old guys fell under the guns and cannons.
He had fallen countless times under the charge of the Knights of Augusta, and this time it was his turn to fight back.
He firmly believed that this must be a gift from God who saw his efforts.
For the first time in his life, he was so determined, and he was so close to the first success of revenge.
As long as he defeated the Great Xia Expeditionary Force, he would have precious breathing time.
Maybe he would have a second chance for revenge.
Therefore, all sacrifices were worth it.
The army on the front line was still in a state of continuous defeat, and the atmosphere in the New Holy City was already very anxious.
A large number of nobles fled, and Fernandez I did not stop it. He even personally sent his brother's family away.
This pair of brothers, it was obvious that the younger brother had taken the throne of his older brother, but at this time there was no tension between the two.
The former king Bruno had forgotten his original reluctance at this time and held his brother's hand tightly.
"Come with me, we can go somewhere else."
He looked at his brother eagerly, and the little conflict between the brothers seemed unimportant.
"No, I want to stay here, I am the king now, brother." Fernandez I responded.
Bruno's eyes were wet, he seemed to understand, at this moment he was out of control: "You have thought about this day a long time ago, right? I won't leave, I want to stay, I am the king."
"Brother, your era has ended, now is my era." Fernandez I was very cruel, he broke Bruno's hand and said word by word: "I will not lose, I will be crowned again in the New Holy City, and you will come back one day."
He was so determined that even if he gave up everything, even if he betrayed his beliefs, he would take revenge.
Coronation! ?
Bruno left with doubts, and Fernandez I completely cut off the last trace of nostalgia.
Antoine just looked at his father like this, he had not moved for a long time.
So, after hesitating, he stepped forward and reminded: "Father, the army near the New Holy City is a little uneasy now. Should we make plans early?"
He could feel the restlessness of the army. As the Great Xia Empire's expeditionary force got closer and closer, and as the kingdom's direct army continued to lose, the brothers of the Booker clan seemed to have other ideas.
Antoine was desperate. He felt that these guys betrayed him, even though he had given them enough trust.
Fernandez I moved. He turned his head, his face was serious and his eyes were cold.
He completed the final transformation and became cold and ruthless.
"No need to do anything. The time is not up yet."
