On this day, Laing's family, Olica, and Teresa moved into Angelo's manor. Laing personally taught little Devenshire how to use his psionic powers for a while before letting his son follow Angelo into the Chalon Forest to hunt.
Laing had a house here. It was a two-story house with a large garden that could accommodate seven people. Laing's place was just right. After settling in, everyone enjoyed a sumptuous dinner in Angelo's manor. After that, Laing and Suria immediately rushed to the depths of the Chalon Forest, to the bottom of the lake on the Isle of Lilies.
In the cultivation cabin, the five original Cast-Grey Knights had reached the final stage, which was to be brainwashed and receive the continuous psionic impact released by Laing.
During this process, the five original Cast-Grey Knights would still remember who their parents were and what they experienced when they were young. However, this would not make them view it as the most important thing. After the brainwashing, loyalty to the original body and faith in the Imperial Emperor would become their everything and life's goal.
The human instinct towards reproduction was also removed by the Imperial Guard. As weapons of war, the original Cast-Grey Knights only needed to fight to the death. This was their everything.
Laing thought that it was not easy for the five of them to survive in the end. They were simply the Five Unyielding Cockroaches.
Should he name them Instant, Yihui, Xingshi, Zilong, and Glacier?
"These are your 'children'?" Suria stood in front of the cultivation cabin and pressed her hand on the transparent cover. She looked at the five original Cast-Grey Knights who looked to be in their twenties and said with interest, "It seems that they are all Brittany. Are they the boys with magical talent who were taken away by Her Highness Morgiana?"
"Yes, the sons of Brittany." Under the gaze of the Imperial Guard, Laing looked at his "children" calmly being brainwashed in the cultivation cabin. He shook his head helplessly.
The grey knight geno prototype could feel that his power was resonating with the power of the five original Cast-Grey Knights. He felt that his children were connected by blood, but no matter what, Laing could not really treat them like his own children like he treated little Devenshire or little Frey Derick. They were more like tools or useful servants.
Although Laing repeatedly warned himself not to think that way, he still felt that way. It seemed to be an inherent impression from the signer. It had been engraved into his DNA and could not be changed.
"How long will it take to complete the last step?" Laing asked the Imperial Guard, "Big Sheep," about the situation.
"It will take at least a year, and I cannot guarantee that all five of them will survive. His Majesty made the adjustment himself very successfully, but …" The Imperial Guard's words were a bit incoherent, but Laing understood what he meant. The geno prototype did not say anything. He just nodded and said, "That's good. Then, I will leave this matter to you."
"It seems that the rats are very interested in something deep inside Lily Island. We have already killed more than one wave of assassins sent by the rats." The Imperial Guard gestured for Ryan and Sulia to come to a corner. There were some skulls of Skaven assassins and weapons that had been blessed and purified. The big sheep's tone was rather displeased. "But I can assure you that we have taken care of anything that tries to get close to this place.
"Is there any follow-up from the Skaven Ratmen?" Laing picked up a skull with a Skaven triangle engraved on its forehead. Suria frowned and quickly took two steps back. The female knight was slightly obsessed with cleanliness. She hated the Skaven Ratmen.
"Not at the moment. It seems that they have given up." The Imperial Guard leaned on his Storm Halberd. "Don't worry. Leave it to us."
Leon let out a long sigh in his heart. It took a long time to produce the Gray Knights. He had been preparing for this for many years, but now, he had finally reached the final step. After that, they would become new recruits, and he would personally guide them and make them his personal guards.
After leaving Lily Island, Laing held Suria's hand in a relaxed manner. The warm autumn wind blew through the sea of trees in the Chalon Forest. Laing enjoyed this moment with his wife. He smiled and said, "You will be their mother in the future, Suria."
"I always feel that this is weird." Suria sighed, but the female knight was a bit jealous. "Anyway, I only gave birth to Devonshire. Emilia can give birth to two children."
"Being able to give birth to two children is already very good." Laing held Suria's hand. As a husband, he could not stop laughing. "My wife, this is a big achievement for you."
"Devonshire is a good kid. He looks more like me." Suria thought of little Devonshire. The little guy's face looked like Suria and Laing, but there was no doubt that he looked more like Suria.
"Little Frey Derick looks like Emilia. Little Ream looks like Emilia. I have always wondered if my genes were not strong enough." Laing complained. The geno prototype thought, "I am so handsome. Why don't my children look like me?"
The two of them chatted for a while. After Suria confessed her feelings to Laing, she had completely let go. She said, "About Teresa and Aurora, what are you going to do with them? Are they going to focus on collecting information? What about magic? "
"Giving magic to Veronica or Aurora does not make much of a difference to us." Laing told her the truth. "The difference is that Aurora always does things selfishly. Veronica thinks more about our interests. As for Teresa … I have to admit that she is not a good manager, but she is very good at collecting information. Why don't we focus on practicing ice magic and doing research? I just happened to get an ice magic book from the phoenix pyramid."
"What about Aurora?" Sulia said with a faint smile, "You've actually given her a lot of important things, haven't you? She already knows a lot about us. If that's the case, you shouldn't have asked her to set up her own sect. You should have told her that you've already stamped her with a ring and that she's yours."
"What a tigress." Laing's forehead was covered with black lines. He wanted to explain his plan, but Suria looked like she was smiling. Laing sighed and said, "My Lady, what plans do you have?"
"What plans do I have? However, Olica has made some arrangements. " Suria sighed and said, "Never mind. I understand. I will not interfere. Let's not talk about this. When will Kalad and Torras arrive?"
"Tomorrow. I need to tell them how to prepare." Laing knew that Olica must have done something to Aurora, but the king also knew that he had to have a way to control the head of intelligence, so he turned a blind eye to it.
Back in the garden, Laing saw little Devenshire running around on the saber-toothed tiger. The saber-toothed tiger looked reluctant. The beast's shoulder height was 1.3 meters, and its body was more than three meters long. It could only listen to little Devenshire's orders and run around. Angren was watching from a distance. He held a large piece of meat in his hand. Seeing that the saber-toothed tiger was obedient, he took out a small knife and cut a piece of meat. He threw it gently. The small piece of meat flew more than 60 meters and landed in the saber-toothed tiger's mouth. The tiger roared happily and swallowed the fresh meat.
Laing looked at the scene from the corner of his eye. His son had run away on the saber-toothed tiger. That was good.
When he entered the room, he saw Olica happily making magic scrolls. Aurora and Teresa had obviously just taken a bath. There was still a lot of water on their hair. They had changed into purple nightgowns. They were sitting in the study on the first floor, carefully reading the magic book that Laing stole from the Asuryan Phoenix Pyramid. The Origin of the Ancient Sacred Ice Ruins and the Use of Ice Magic in the Extreme North — Caledor: Dragon Tamer.
Ever since they got this book, Teresa and Aurora treated it like a treasure. They kept reading it whenever they had time. However, the mother and daughter didn't know elvish, so they could only ask Olica or Laing for help. Laing didn't have the time or energy to translate it, and he didn't know much about magic. In the end, it was Olica who took some time to translate a small part of it.
Laing went to take a bath, changed into a clean nightgown, and sat next to Teresa. Since he was free at night, he and Olica helped Teresa and Aurora translate a small chapter of elvish. Suria saw that Laing was working seriously and didn't disturb him. The queen greeted him and went up to the second floor to read and prepare to rest.
"By the way, Laing, I have something to tell you. Recently, there seems to be a new strange organization in the court of the Empire, and their activities are getting more and more frequent. They've taken advantage of the recent harvest and the attention of the barbarians away from the old world to become more and more active, organizing all kinds of parties and banquets." Teresa suddenly thought of something and took out a document. "At present, there are no signs that these two new organizations are related to the Cult of Chaos. Their characteristics are that they especially like to carry out community activities and charity bazaars."
"What's the name of the new organization?" Laing took the document.
"They're called Epstein Island and Water Dragon Garden," Aurora added.
"They're mainly active in Marlinburg, Brunswick, and Nur."
Why do I feel like I've heard this name before? Laing thought in his heart, but the king did not think too much. "Pay more attention. Don't let your guard down, but don't spend too much energy. There are hundreds of mysterious organizations in the Empire, and each of them has their own secrets and demands, including MI7."
"Yes." Aurora and Teresa both nodded to show that they understood.
After translating a short paragraph, it was a little late. Laing took the opportunity to hug Teresa's waist. "Teresa?"
"Lai … Laing, don't be like this. Mother is still here!" The sorceress suddenly lost all her strength when Laing hugged her waist. She gently tried to push Laing away. "Help me translate a little more, and then you can do whatever you want, okay?"
"Okay!"
When Aurora saw this, she knew what to do. She said, "I'll go make two cups of milk." After going to the kitchen, the Sanctum Witch secretly added a lot of white powder into Teresa's cup.
Daughter, don't blame me. I'm doing this for your own good, and also for our good. And you'll be very comfortable too. The Sanctum Witch thought with a red face. She felt that no one would be at a disadvantage by doing this. Aurora and her daughter were now very much ostracized in Laing's system. They were almost completely dependent on Laing's protection. She had always hoped that Teresa could give birth to a child for Laing, so that her position would be consolidated.
Come on, daughter! Mother supports you! Aurora waved her fist. The Sanctum Witch thought to herself, daughter, you really have to work hard.
At the same time, Aurora began to prepare a second set of plans in her heart.
You said it before, oh, daughter.
… I'll follow your section break no matter what …
The next day, the two Holy Grails, Kalad and Torras, arrived at Angran Manor, followed by Berliat. During Laing's absence, this Ugor fought a battle of wits and courage with the Cheka Committee established by Emperor Karl-franz. Coupled with Laing's interference, the Cheka Committee did not play any role from the first day of its establishment. In the end, Emperor Karl-franz decided to abolish the organization after considering the manpower and material resources involved. However, he used this as an excuse to extort 30,000 gold marks from the upper and lower houses of Marienburg, which Marienburg also paid.
Laing gave instructions to Kalad and Torras. The armies of the major duchies had already gathered at several assembly points. Everything was ready. Laing also ordered the Ugor Legion to be assigned to Kalad and Torras. He appointed Berliat as the political commissar of the Northern Legion. He was responsible for managing the logistics and ideological construction of the army, as well as ensuring the military's discipline.
Leon, Sulia, Kalad, Torras, and Belial sat at a long table in the courtyard. "You and Torras are good at this, so you'll be in charge of it. As for maintaining discipline, ensuring logistics, and negotiating with the local nobles, Belial will assist you." Leon spoke to Kalad after he finished explaining the situation to Kalad. "You and Torras are good at this, so you'll be in charge of it. As for maintaining discipline, ensuring logistics, and negotiating with the local nobles, Belial will assist you."
"Yes." Kalad nodded seriously. This Great Holy Grail of the Sanctum was now a great hero of the old world. However, he was not good at managing an army. He was better at commanding an army and displaying his extraordinary bravery. "Your Majesty, what should we do if the duchies send more people?"
"You and Torras can just pick the elites." Laing nodded. "Seven hundred is the quota. As for Mu Xilon, I will assign the Coldstream Guards to you. Other than that, Berliat's Ugor Legion will also listen to your command."
"Your Majesty, why don't you assign the Old Guard to us?" Torras asked with a smile. This Great Holy Grail of the Sanctum was convinced that Kalad was his deputy. Kalad's achievements were too dazzling.
"As long as you can convince Madam, I will assign a battalion of Old Guard to you." Laing smiled. Knight King's words caused his queen to roll her eyes. Suria pinched Laing's face with a look of reproach. Why did you kick the ball to me?
Kalad and Torras also smiled. The Old Guard was now Laing's personal guard and the most elite troop besides the Knights of the Holy Grail. How could they be easily dispatched? They were just casually saying it.
"By the way, Your Majesty, Catherine is pregnant." After exchanging a few pleasantries, Calade suddenly remembered something. Count Garament said embarrassedly, "I participated in Carcassonne's attack on the Green Skin Tribe in the Black Mountains. I went out for three months. When I returned to the territory, I found that Catherine had been pregnant for more than a month."
"Huh???" Laing's face was full of question marks. Knight King thought to himself, Did someone else shoot you?
"Ah, no." Kalad also realized that there was something wrong with what he said. The Knight of the Holy Grail quickly explained, "Catherine followed the army and participated in the war against the Green Tribes. She did not stay in the territory alone. She gave birth to a son for me. The little guy has no magic talent, but he is very strong. I named him Durney de Garament. This time, I also brought them with me."
"I see." Laing nodded with a smile. "Congratulations, Kalad. Count Garament finally has an heir. How can I help you?"
"I hope Your Majesty can support me. I want to make Catherine my countess," Kalad said seriously. "But Catherine is a witch … I encountered a lot of resistance, and even His Excellency the Duke disagreed."
"Well …" Laing thought that Kalad, who was dull and had been hurt before, could not resist the crazy pursuit of a scheming little witch. "I'll try my best."
"Thank you." Kalad expressed his gratitude.
"For the time being, arrange for Catherine and Durney to stay in my brother's manor. It's safe here." Laing then said, "You can lead the army without worry."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
In this way, the northern front army led by Kalad, Torras, and Berliat set off from Jean City, ready to set up defenses in the north.
