"Mission completed. Reward: a tomato sprite worm."
"Mission: the fief has no Knight guards and is always on the brink of danger. The four retainer Knights are crippled, but more seedlings are waiting to be unearthed. Seafood brings nutrition. Please select suitable youngsters for Knight training. Reward: a World of Warcraft egg that is about to hatch. "
The smoke Serpentines slowly dissipated.
Liszt came back to his senses. The tomato settlement mission was very easy to complete. In fact, none of the smoke missions had any difficulty. They just followed the flow of events.
"A World of Warcraft egg that is about to hatch. In other words, I have to get a flying World of Warcraft." Liszt looked at Dosen, who was crawling at his feet and sticking out its tongue like a dog to dissipate heat. He suddenly thought of a wonderful scene.
Leading the yellow on the left, raising the azure on the right.
This old man is crazy with youth.
He doesn't have a big yellow dog or an eagle, but he has the even more powerful World of Warcraft. The Flyingdust Dog Dosen had already trained it to a conditioned reflex. As long as Liszt gave the command, it would pounce, bite, sit, lie down, jump, and climb. Compared to training dogs, Dosen was easier to train because it was smarter.
Just that, Dosen's Flyingdust Dog had yet to successfully release the spell Rockthorns.
"I can train dogs, but I can't train eagles. I don't know whether this World of Warcraft bird that is about to become my pet is smart or not, and whether it is easy to train. If it cannot be tamed, then I can only roast it and eat it. "While sighing, Liszt unconsciously stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.
There were very few chickens raised in the Flower Town, and they mainly laid eggs. Even for him, it was not easy to eat a chicken, let alone the even rarer ducks and geese.
Currently, his mouth was really 'out of the blue'.
The Thorns Ridge was full of wild animals. Markus had good archery, so it was very easy for him to shoot down a few birds. However, he had a proud temperament and yearned to be an aristocrat, so he would not easily become a hunter.
Aristocrats hunting was called wild fun, while he hunting was called lowering his status.
For Liszt, this was a strange concept, but for people like Markus, this was the pursuit of life. Therefore, Liszt did not have the nerve to command Marcus to casually hunt a few birds to satisfy his craving.
"Originally, I didn't intend to form a Knight squad so soon. There are too few subjects now, and there aren't many good seedlings to choose from. But since the mission has been issued, let's form a team. There should be a few hundred youths between the ages of ten and sixteen in this town. Let's pick twelve of them and form a team. "
The Knight Squad consisted of twelve members, one captain, one vice-captain, and ten members.
Great nobles would set up their own Knight Academies and select children from a young age to enter the Knight Academies to train. Batches of them would be eliminated, and finally, those who were qualified would become the retainer Knight of the Lord and join the Orders of Chivalry. Markus was such a Knight. His father had sent him to the Knight Academy at a very young age.
Many sons of Baron and Lord Knight would also train in the Knight Academy, including Liszt, who had gone to the Knight Academy.
The Flower Town didn't have this foundation. Therefore, he could only pick a few healthy youths and form a nondescript Knight Squad to nurture. The cleverest housewife cannot cook without rice. Liszt was also helpless. For the time being, he would first fool around and complete the smoke mission.
… …
"Sir, you want to select new retainer Knight and form a Knight Squad?" After learning of Liszt's intentions at the banquet, Thomas immediately became excited.
"The Flower Town's food is abundant, so there is no need to be conservative. The patrols cannot be counted on. They are just a group of ordinary people. Carl's group of four has yet to cultivate qi. Therefore, I need new forces to guard the Flower Town's safety … There is only half a year left until winter. "
Saying this, Liszt blinked his eyes: "In fact, sooner or later, I will lay my hands on the Thorns Ridge. They are a hindrance to the Flower Town's development. Teacher Markus, you need to preside over the selection and training of the Knight Squad. "The count didn't draw boundaries for the fief, so he could naturally choose to annex the Thorns Ridge.
Thomas immediately performed the Knight etiquette and said solemnly: "Sir, please rest assured. Markus will select qualified Knight Squad members and train them well!"
"I will have Teacher Gort fully cooperate with you and train them well, Teacher Markus."
"As you wish, Sir!"
When leaving the castle, Markus held his head high and stuck out his chest. He didn't hold back the graceful bearing of an elite Earth Knight. Ever since he came to the Flower Town, he had been depressed. Apart from protecting Liszt, he could only train Carl and the other three retainer Knight Squad members every day.
After witnessing Liszt's wisdom and luck and understanding of Liszt's boldness and ambition, he decided to serve and lay dormant, waiting to establish his career.
After witnessing Liszt's' wealth of the sea ', he became even more convinced.
However, from beginning to end, he was a bit embarrassed. He didn't know what role he could play in the fief. Liszt wouldn't go to the battlefield for at least a few years. Without a Knight Squad, how could he go to the battlefield? He had the intention to clear the Thorns Ridge, but he, an Earth Knight, couldn't accomplish it.
He felt somewhat regretful that there was no way to serve his country.
Now, the opportunity had finally arrived. Liszt chose to form a Knight squad and took the first step to establish his career. He wished he could immediately select the most suitable retainer Knight Squad, train them, and immediately clear the Thorns Ridge. When the grand duchy started a new war, he could join the war at any time.
That evening, he asked Gort for the Flower Town's census list.
All the youngsters between ten and sixteen years of age were selected. The next day, four retainer Knight Squads were dispatched to bring these youngsters from their respective homes.
The sun was scorching the earth. A total of 233 youngsters of varying heights stood solemnly with their chests stuck out.
Their eyes were filled with longing, nervousness, worry, fear, longing, and other complex expressions. They had been informed that the sir lord was going to select a retainer Knight Squad.
They all understood the meaning of a retainer Knight Squad member. Even if they didn't understand, their parents and neighbors would tell them the meaning.
Retainer Knight Squad members were divided into two categories.
One category consisted of 'retainer' retainer Knight Squad members like Carl Hammerstein and Röhm Winesong. They were serfs who sold themselves to aristocrats. Their main task was to follow aristocrats on trips. On the battlefield, they were responsible for carrying equipment, doing laundry, cooking, and so on.
The other category consisted of 'Knight' retainer Knight Squad members like Markus. Most of them were freedmen and their main task was to fight.
Many sons of lesser aristocrats would go to other aristocrats' territories to serve as retainer Knight Squad members and learn the combat skills and aristocratic etiquette of a Knight. After finishing their studies, they would either return home to inherit the title of nobility or go to the battlefield to establish their career.
Basically.
Retainer Knight Squad members were aristocrats' reservists.
Even if they were serfs, after being selected as retainer Knight Squad members, their status as freedmen would be returned. If they made further contributions, they could still be conferred the title of nobility.
Even if they didn't make much contributions, they would not have to worry about food and drink while following an aristocrat. They could still save money to subsidize their family.
Therefore.
The youngsters all stood ramrod straight, trying their best to perform a little better. They hoped to be selected as retainer Knight Squad members – they all understood that this was an opportunity to change their fate. It might only happen once in a lifetime.
Markus was riding on a yellow-gray horse. He looked at the youngsters one by one. He could vaguely see his own shadow. Many years ago, didn't he also experience such a selection and was selected by Sir Count's Knight Squad Leader? Of course, at that time, he had already studied at the Knight Academy for two years.
