Chapter 247

Just when the crowd was in an uproar, a loud shout sounded.

"The Commander of the Royal Knight Legion, Farbidon Galuoli, is here …!"

Hearing these words, the entire hall suddenly went silent.

Including Shien, everyone turned their heads and looked in one direction.

There, several figures walked through the crowd from the campsite.

"What's with all the noise?"

A middle-aged knight who seemed to be the leader of the group said in an impatient voice.

Shien narrowed his eyes and stared at the Commander of the Royal Knight Legion.

– Royal Knight Legion.

As the name suggested, it was a legion of knights directly under the Royal Family.

Although the Royal Knight Legion was directly under the Royal Family and was known as the strongest stronghold, only true elite knights could join the legion. Each Royal Knight was above level 70, and there were only 77 people in the entire legion. Naturally, the Royal Knight Legion couldn't rely on these 77 people to protect the kingdom.

Therefore, the Royal Knight Legion was as famous as the Royal Knight Legion, but it didn't recruit high-level powerhouses. Instead, it was for ordinary knights.

There were only two requirements to join the Royal Knight Legion.

One: An innocent person with no problems with his identity or background.

Two: Level 30 or above.

Therefore, the Royal Knight Legion was the basic force that protected the kingdom. There were eight brigades, and each brigade was made up of ten squadrons. Each squadron was made up of ten squads, and each squad had 100 people.

In other words, the Royal Knight Legion had a total of 80,000 people. Although the level of the knights was far lower than the knights of the Royal Knight Legion, the number of knights was far greater.

Now, the middle-aged man who was walking toward them was the Commander of the Royal Knight Legion, Farbidon Galuoli.

The current leader of the Royal Knights, Farbidon, appeared here, accompanied by all four deputy leaders.

Shien could tell at a glance that among the four deputy commanders, one was an old knight who was level 68, one was a middle-aged woman who was level 64, one was an arrogant man who was level 63, and the last was a beautiful woman who was level 61.

Seeing these people, the expressions of the surrounding adventurers changed.

"That old knight is the Cold Swordsman Gephorgus …!?"

"Is that woman Demon Slayer Caitley?"

"And the two most outstanding geniuses of the Galuoli Family, Risseg and Lana …"

"This … doesn't this mean that they're going all out?"

The group of adventurers began to clamor.

"They're all here?"

Shien also felt that something was amiss.

These people weren't ordinary people.

As far as Sean knew, there were many nobles in the kingdom who were knights. They were the so-called knight families.

But among these noble families, there were three that were the most outstanding.

Among them, the most indisputable was the Elbeyin family. They were the most loyal Knight family that had protected the royal family for generations. The ancestors of the family were the strongest companions of the Hero, and they were also the descendants of the Hero. The heads of the family were all Legendary-ranked Knights, and for thousands of years, they had always held the position of Captain of the Knight Squad. They were undoubtedly the peak of the Knight Family, and they were also nobles who were conferred the title of Marquis.

The Veladi Family had a history of 800 years. Their ancestor was a famous knight family that protected the royal family for generations. Their ancestor was the strongest companion of the Hero and was also the descendant of the Hero. After 800 years of development, they were now the top noble family in the kingdom.

The current head of the Veladi Family was the current Vice Commander of the Royal Knight Legion, a Level 89 Great Knight. The Vice Commander had a genius daughter who reached Level 70 at the age of 26 and was recommended into the Royal Knight Legion to become a Royal Knight. Now, at the age of 28, she had caught the eye of the kingdom's first princess, Lea, and became her personal knight.

The current head of Villadi's family was the current vice commander of the Knights Squad, a Level 89 Great Knight. The vice commander also had a genius daughter who reached Level 70 at the age of 26 and was recommended into the Knights Squad to become a Knight Guard. Now, at the age of 28, she had already caught the eye of the Kingdom's First Princess, Liadella, and became her personal knight guard.

That's right, it was the female knight named Shannai who was by Lea's side.

Her full name was Shana Veladina, and she was a level 73 Royal Guard Knight.

Therefore, the Veladi Family was known as a noble family in the kingdom, second only to the Veladi Family.

As for the last one, it was the Galuoli Family.

This family of knights had never produced a very powerful knight.

At the very least, there were no powerhouses above Level 80 in this family.

It was the same for Farpion Galuoli. He should be close to 50 years old, but he was only Level 71, which was barely enough for him to join the Royal Knight Legion.

However, the Galuoli Family had always been the family that controlled the Royal Knight Legion.

To what extent did they control it?

First of all, the Commander of the Royal Knight Legion had always been a member of the Galuoli Family.

Secondly, almost every generation of the four Vice Commanders under the Commander was a Knight from the Galuoli Family. There were only a few exceptions over the centuries.

Moreover, more than half of the eight Senior Captains, 80 Medium Captains, and 800 Squad Captains were either from the Galuoli Family or were roped in by the Galuoli Family. They were also closely related to the Galuoli Family.

It could be said that half of the kingdom's Royal Knight Legion and all its power was in the hands of the Galuoli Family. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a Family Knight Legion.

The reason was simple.

It was said that in the early days of the Royal Knight Legion's establishment, all the knights in the legion were personally selected and recruited by the Galuoli Family one by one.

Because of that, the Galuoli Family had always firmly grasped all the rights of the Royal Knight Legion. This family was also a count family. Putting aside their status, in terms of influence and financial resources, they were far superior to the Elbeck Family and the Veradi Family.

Now, the four names mentioned by the group of adventurers were the four vice team leaders who followed Farbidon around.

They were also the pillars of the Galuoli Family and the pinnacle of the Royal Knight Legion. Other than Farpion, who was the family head, they were the four people with the highest positions in the Galuoli Family.

The other party appeared in a dignified manner, passed through the crowd, and arrived in front of everyone.

"Why is it so noisy?"

Farpion, who was the leader, questioned the people around him impatiently.

The adventurers around him instantly fell silent. They no longer had the courage to confront the Commander of the Royal Knight Legion.

"Commander …"

A knight who seemed to be the leader of the group came to Farpion's side as though a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. He quickly whispered something into Farpion's ear.

"His Highness' envoy?"

Farpion frowned and looked at Shien after understanding the situation.

The other four Vice Commanders also looked at Shien.

With this, the four of them were all stunned, and they had different reactions.

"Isn't that …"

The old knight, Jeffgus, seemed to have recognized Shien and showed a surprised expression.

"Is that him?"

The middle-aged woman, Caitley, was also a little surprised.

"He is the adventurer who has been especially close to His Highness recently?"

The arrogant man, Risegger, showed a displeased expression as he glared at Shien with hostility.

"So it's him …"

The beautiful Lana seemed to have come to a sudden realization. Shortly after, her expression became a little strange.

Shien took in all the reactions of the five of them and smiled playfully.

"It seems like I don't need to introduce myself to everyone."

Shien spoke frankly.

"That's right, it's me."

This sentence caused the atmosphere to become a little subtle.
