Chapter 193 The Knights Are Established (Thank You Readers for Your Monthly Votes)

In the hall transformed from the banquet hall, Leon, who was sitting on the lord's throne, raised his hand and signaled the young knight who was kneeling on one knee to stand up.

He still recognized this new knight. He was the second son of Baron Anquila who was almost framed for raping and killing the lady of the feudal lord.

I remember his name was Filippo.

Not long ago, this young man accompanied Sir Redo to support the Battle of Longka in order to repay him, and had the merit of breaking into the battle and killing the enemy.

Of course, now he is no longer the knight's squire. He has been promoted from a squire to a knight in the collective canonization in Glade County.

Taking the envelope and document leather tube presented by Filippo, Leon opened the wax and took a quick look.

As expected, the feudal lord readily agreed to the application in the letter, and also mentioned the manpower he helped him at the end.

This is really a timely help.

Leon stood up and handed the letter and the leather tube containing the authorization document to Azerien for review.

He stepped down from the throne and came to Filippo, glancing at the two attendants standing outside the hall.

With his proficiency in martial arts, his own warhorse, armor, weapons, and a horse attendant following him, Leon was certainly happy to accept such a high-quality warrior into the organization.

Filippo said that in addition to him, there were three other thorn flower knights willing to come.

Leon was worried about the lack of cavalry, so now he could at least add nine or more skilled light and heavy cavalry to his command, and he didn't even have to provide equipment and warhorses, and unlike mercenaries, he didn't know their backgrounds. They were all from the same camp and trusted each other, which was really a good deal.

"I welcome you, Lord Filippo, and the other three knights you mentioned. I will never be stingy with your salary.

But I must say this in advance. The Knights I established will require strict discipline. Members must abide by the three major precepts and four rules of the Knights. Once they join, it means accepting strict doctrines, and my requirements for knights will only be stricter than those for ordinary soldiers." Leon reminded seriously.

Filippo stood up straight with a serious face: "Of course, Lord Leon, strict military law is the guarantee of the combat effectiveness of the army. I know this very well, but what are the specific precepts and rules?"

He was just a little worried whether the laws in the other party's mouth violated the knight's creed.

Leon nodded and carefully explained the drafted organizational precepts and rules. This was what the knights would be informed of in advance before joining. After all, they still need to swear an oath at the ceremony.

The so-called three major precepts of the Knights are.

First, obey orders, all actions must be strictly enforced, and no unauthorized actions are allowed.

Second, it is forbidden to plunder the people, rob the people's property, burn, kill, rape, and do evil.

Third, the war must be public, and all the profits of the war must be returned to the public and distributed according to the public, and cannot be hidden privately.

And the four major knightly orders.

Observe the etiquette of the knights and speak casually.

Fair trade and transactions, do not be greedy for profit.

Borrowing and loss must be repaid, and maintain reputation.

Respect the elderly, respect women, love the young, and protect the weak.

In addition to this classic military management strategy, there is also a reward and punishment system corresponding to the precepts and rules. Leon compiled it into a book, which will be one of the codes that the members of the knights will remember in the future.

Filippo listened carefully and nodded frequently. There was nothing special about these. They were originally the knight's creeds and virtues that have been praised since ancient times, such as loyalty, kindness, selflessness, courtesy, justice, trustworthiness, and compassion.

The first three strict rules are also common military laws. Filippo is not surprised that the first and third rules, the prohibition of orders and the distribution of spoils, are emphasized by any decent army.

Only the second one is difficult to implement in ordinary armies. It is okay for local operations. Once they go to foreign lands, the knights may be able to restrain themselves, but when it comes to the behavior of ordinary soldiers, it depends on whether the rewards and punishments are in place. The mob will not care about virtue and reputation.

"I will tell Kaven and the others in detail when I write." Filippo wrote down the items one by one.

"Then your Excellency should have a good rest. The ceremony of the official establishment of the Knights will take some time to prepare."

Leon called Lina and asked her to take the first group of members who were about to join the Knights to the guest room, and then returned to Azerien who had finished reading the documents and letters.

Without outsiders in the hall, and with the help of a group of skilled warriors, Leon relaxed happily and put his arm around his brother's shoulder: "Let's start preparing for the ceremony now. How many days will it take?"

Azerien rolled up the parchment document, put it back into the leather tube, thought for a while and replied: "It can be held in about three days. Since the soldiers directly under the name of the Knights must witness it together, and there must be enough pomp to display the flags, I think it will be held in the fountain square. It shouldn't disturb Ms. Lola in the tower?"

"No, I'll tell her. Maybe Lola will watch the fun on the balcony at that time. Just do it according to the wishes of the 'General Manager'." Leon patted his shoulder and joked.

Hearing this job title, Azerien raised his eyebrows and looked at him sideways: "Then I, the general manager, must quickly remind our 'Grand Captain', Sir, have you forgotten an important thing?"

"Is there?"

Leon thought about it carefully.

Although he had not received a reply before and did not know whether he would be allowed to establish the organization, he and his companions had already held a meeting in advance to discuss the structure and framework of the Knights.

The current purpose of the organization is to protect and govern the territory and the people under its rule, and to establish and maintain order.

The initial structure was not complicated. After all, it was just to have a title that could concentrate power to govern the three people's territory, and the managers were still the original team around them.

Referring to the existing framework of the Knights' Order in the world, the organization is simply divided into three layers.

The first layer is the six people who rule the Knights' Order.

The Grand Master of the Knights' Order is of course himself as the core of the organization.

Azerien served as the "General Manager of the Knights' Order" with responsibilities only below the Grand Master, equivalent to the Deputy Master, in charge of most administrative affairs such as finance and logistics.

Lohak served as the "Lord of the Castle" and was the highest military commander besides the Chief and Deputy Masters.

Corvis served as the "Flag Officer" and "Curtain Officer", and may have to act as the "Herald Officer" within the Knights depending on the situation. It can be said that he integrates the responsibilities of managing clothing and etiquette, member review and record, and discipline supervision.

There is no way. Trustworthy and capable personnel are currently in short supply. Leon can only trouble his smart and capable little brother.

As for Uncle Brian, after the reorganization of the army, he will be promoted from the original Selva Centurion to "Knight Commander", and will continue to be responsible for training soldiers and sergeants, as well as commanding the frontline operations during wartime.

As for Olivia, Leon granted his own Golden Lion Knight two extremely high positions.

They are "Knight Champion" and "Knight Grand Mentor".

At present, except for the Neti card Ying Ling Garon who can't come out for a few seconds, Olivia is the strongest person under his command, and the title of "Champion" belongs to the girl.

Of course, if any knight in the group is dissatisfied with this, they can challenge the girl in the arena. As long as they defeat Olivia in martial arts, they can also take away the honor and treatment of the "Champion Knight".

However, Leon sees that his wife is now growing stronger and stronger with her martial arts, and this title will probably be worn by the girl for a long time in the future.

As for the title of "Grand Mentor".

Generally, the "mentor" level within the Knights is held by senior knights who train and teach new members.

However, the organization is still in its infancy, and the only person who has really taught the members of the Knights in person is Olivia.

So she is the only and well-deserved knight mentor in the Knights.

Leon will continue to entrust the girl to do the old job of the chief coach, responsible for training the martial arts of all knight members. The second level below the six people, the backbone of the organization, is composed of other knight members who do not have senior positions.

Such as the six people such as Zabron and Hawke who he plans to canonize together on the day the Knights are established, and Sir Filippo and others who will join the organization. In this level, there is no difference in status and identity. The comrades are equal to each other and call each other "Knight Brothers".

Finally, there is the third level of the Knights, which is the sergeants of ordinary grassroots soldiers and the servants of each knight member.

Recalling the internal code, military law and discipline, reward and punishment system, and promotion mechanism formulated by the Knights in their infancy. Leon did not expect anything to be missed.

He scratched his head and asked, "Excuse me, Grand Steward, what did I forget?"

Azerien laughed and said, "Of course it's the name.

We have even decided on the flag and the emblem, but you haven't decided what the Knights should be called yet. It can't be without a name, right?"

"Ah, indeed." Leon stood up and pounded his palm. He actually forgot such an important thing.

Leon immediately recalled all the names of the Knights he had heard in his past and present lives.

There are several general ways of naming, either naming after the organization's purpose of the Knights.

Or intuitively naming after the meaning of the Knights' emblem.

Then simply naming after the place where the Knights were established, the station, the territory, and so on.

He remembered that the Sea Eagle Knights under Princess Ines were named after the emblem pattern.

Leon referred to those examples and considered his own sword-winged banner.

Calling it Jianyi directly would definitely not sound good, and if we take the "Dark Angel" that the emblem originally symbolized in the previous life, the translation into the native Feru language means "Dark God Messenger", which is too inexplicable.

Not only does it look like an evil organization, but it also has no actual reason or meaning.

This is not a surname for yourself, so it doesn't matter if you just play with it.

As the name of an organization representing hundreds of people in the future, Leon thinks it is better to have a practical meaning.

What about the Knights of the Round Table?

Leon rejected it again. This world does not have the blessing of King Arthur's allusions. The name of "Round Table" is too rustic. Who would name a military and political organization after furniture?

After thinking about it, it is still simpler and more intuitive to use the place name, and others will know their identity and origin as soon as they hear it.

"Let's call it the Knights of Avalon. Ask everyone's opinions tonight." Leon said.

He also regretted that he didn't name the fortress in the forest Caliban.

Otherwise, calling it the Knights of Caliban can not only commemorate the hobbies of the previous life, but also echo the name of this life, and actually symbolize the place of establishment. Except for being a little unlucky, it is the best of all three.

Fortunately, "Knights of Avalon" sounds quite comfortable.

After discussing with his companions that night, no one had any better ideas, so the name was completely decided.

The next day, Leon and Corvis, the flag bearer, came to the warehouse where the flags and clothing were kept, and checked the knight's robes to be awarded to the new members.

The Knights will basically continue to follow the battle robes he had previously set in Selva.

The grassroots sergeants still wear the original gray robes and red sword wings of the army.

Knight members will be awarded the original black-bottomed, red-sworded, and white-winged robes of the Selva Guard.

This way, the original robes can be used without having to re-dye them and spend money.

However, Leon still made some changes to the emblem flag that symbolizes the Knights.

The base color of the Knights' battle flag is not black, but dark red, which symbolizes the authority of rule.

The original red-sworded and gray-winged Pendragon family crest was also repainted by Miss Raya and changed to a white sword-winged pattern to distinguish it from Leon's personal emblem.

After taking out several sets of knight robes and taking them out of the warehouse, Leon saw one of the maids who was in charge of the room where Little Goethe lived on the upper floor of the main castle in the middle of the corridor. She hurriedly came to report: ". Lord, Lord Corvis, His Highness Deathclaw is back. Lina asked me to come down and inform you as soon as possible."

Hearing the news, Leon hurriedly asked the servants to take the robes away and immediately took Corvis to the top floor.

During this period, he had ordered people to renovate the towering defense tower on the east side of the main castle.

The giant crossbow on the top floor of the tower, which was damaged due to years of disrepair, has been removed along with the top floor to expand the storage space.

According to the records of the structure of the griffin tower in the ancient books of Lorelit, the lookout on the top floor of the tower, which was originally used for the giant crossbow to rotate and shoot, has also been sealed with bricks on three sides.

Now the only opening has been added with a flying eaves platform for the griffin to land, making it a decent giant beast nest.

These days, he has been waiting for Deathclaw to come back and have a good "chat" with it.

However, even if the communication fails, it is not a waste. Even if Deathclaw can't stay, when little Goethe grows up and the little griffin becomes more and more swollen, it must have a real nest for it to live alone in the future. It is impossible to stay in the room in the castle with everyone.

He quickly came to the wide top floor of the rooftop of the main castle.

Lina brought several male and female servants, carrying cleaning tools, and quietly waited for the griffin mother and son to finish their meal before cleaning up.

Deathclaw and Little Goethe, as usual, shared the wild "takeout" provided by the territory and brought back for their children.

Leon cleared his throat, recalled the skills of communication between the Lorelites and griffins in ancient books, came to the griffin and reached out to touch Deathclaw's feathers.

Wild griffins do not master human language. In some of the "Life Science and Animal Science" knowledge that Leon currently has, there are some spells that can solve the problem of communication between each other.

But that must be done willingly by the griffin itself and reach a certain sense of contract with him.

He waited until the other party finished eating before he took a rag to help the obedient griffin lady wipe the blood of the prey on her giant beak, and then waved and called it to the battlement.

Seeing Deathclaw following with rumbling footsteps, Leon raised his arm and pointed to the griffin tower not far away, gesturing, as if to formally invite the giant beast partner he had known for a long time to settle in the territory.

With its huge eagle head tilted, the griffin looked at Leon, and then looked at the tower in the distance that looked like a lonely peak "cave". The huge eagle eyes blinked for a long time before it understood something.

It clung to the battlement, spread its huge wings, leaped into the air, and flew towards the tall tower.

The griffin circled the tower, then flapped its wings and hung in the air, carefully landing on the eaves platform of the griffin tower, then poked its head into the top of the tower and looked into the space inside.

The stone tower where the giant crossbow was originally set up was spacious enough, not to mention that after the top floor was removed, the two-story space was more than enough for an adult griffin to live in.

Leon put his hands on the pergola, watched Deathclaw tentatively fold his wings and get in, and was immediately delighted.

Seeing the griffin's attitude of examining the new house, he thinks it should be possible.

Thank you readers for your monthly tickets. You voted for me again. I am flattered. I thought I would go back this month. You are awesome. I am touched. I took the initiative to take a leave today. I slept from 8 am to 8 pm. I finally got enough sleep. I took a long nap, wearing an eye mask and earmuffs, a waist pad and neck pad, and my phone was in flight mode to isolate myself from all disturbances. I am really satisfied and recovered. I almost went to see my grandmother because of insomnia during this period.
