Chapter 102

After a period of rest, Chen Mo is ready to continue to expand his territory.

His caravan has not found the person he is looking for. He can only continue to expand his power and expand the size of the caravan. He believes that the person he is looking for will appear sooner or later. He has been injected with super soldier serum and has a long lifespan. The greatly extended Chen Mo has enough time and patience. ..

However, Chen Mo found that the state of Andrew, the leader of the knights under his command, was not quite right recently. Others may not have noticed, but with Chen Mo's keen perception, he can often feel a kind of worry and entanglement from him.

Especially after learning that their next target to attack is Marquis Leonard, who is located on the outskirts of the territory, this feeling is even stronger and more obvious, and even the daily training seems to be absent-minded.

Chen Mo can conclude that Andrew's emotions must be related to the territory of this Marquis Leonard.

As the first to follow Chen Mo, and now the leader of the knights with the strongest strength and highest status under Chen Mo, Andrew's performance has always made Chen Mo very satisfied.

He is persistent, brave and extremely loyal. All orders to Chen Mo will be executed unconditionally. Under his leadership, the entire knights have always been extremely loyal to Chen Mo, even if they hit the city gate with flesh and blood. No one was afraid and timid, all of them were determined to die, and they continued to move forward. Of course, Chen Mo did not let them down.

The original one-hundred-man knights group experienced a year of battle, and now it has expanded to more than 500 people, and the original 100-strong knights have all been canonized as real knights by Chen Mo through their own efforts.

Due to the large number of knights under his command, in order to distinguish different levels and clarify the affiliation, Chen Mo simply divided the formal knights into four levels, distinguished by gold, silver, copper and iron.

The highest golden knight has not been canonized yet.

As the leader of the Knights, Andrew is also the strongest warrior who kills the most enemies. He is currently the highest-ranked under Chen Mo, the only silver knight in charge of the entire Knights.

The eight people who were rescued by Chen Mo along with Andrew at the beginning, and Victor, who performed outstandingly shortly after joining Chen Mo's command, were bronze knights, each leading a squadron of knights of dozens of people.

There are more than 100 black iron knights, most of them are members of the original territorial guard.

And these more than 400 servant knights were selected by Chen Mo from the former noble knights who had taken the initiative to defect or were captured and added to the knights.

Came to Chen Mo's territory,

Everything has to start all over again, the original title of knight is no longer useful.

Some of them, through their own efforts, fought bravely to kill the enemy and became the official black iron knights again.

Chen Mo clearly rewards and punishes his subordinates. The warriors who have made meritorious deeds are never stingy with rewards, such as gold coins, land, and even titles. As long as you have made enough merits, it is not impossible to become a baron.

Therefore, the morale of the entire knights is extremely strong, and they are extremely eager to fight, fight for the Lord, and accumulate merits.

Everyone hopes that one day they will be able to obtain their own territory, establish their own knight family, and even become a true hereditary noble, and among them, Andrew is the most desperate.

Not only is he brave and fearless on the battlefield and fights the enemy bravely, even if he is already the most powerful existence under Chen Mo, he still never relaxes his training and seizes every opportunity to improve his strength.

Under his leadership, the knights did not relax their daily training because they were equipped with sophisticated armor and weapons. Everyone trained very hard, especially those knights who joined later. , keep practicing every day.

But now their knight leader is uncharacteristically absent-minded all day long and has no fighting spirit. Chen Mo had to personally ask him to make his heroic confidant be so abnormal. There must be something hidden in it.

Blackrock Castle, Lord's Study.

There is a portrait of a charging knight on the wall, majestic and domineering. The floor is covered with a soft and gorgeous wool carpet, surrounded by thick and delicate solid wood furniture, and the entire study is elegant and grand.

Chen Mo sat behind the dark solid wood desk and looked at the latest information sent back by the Chamber of Commerce.

The wood was crackling lightly in the fireplace, and the study was warm and quiet.

Suddenly, a heavy footstep sounded outside the door, and then there was a soft knock on the study door.

"Lord Lord, knight Andrew has arrived."

The sound of the castle steward's announcement came from outside the door.

"Come in."

Chen Mo's majestic voice sounded.

With Chen Mo's consent, the housekeeper outside the door opened the door of the study, bent down slightly, and gestured for Andrew to go in by himself.

Andrew was wearing armor and holding a helmet in his hands, strode into the study, with a serious face, and stood straight in front of Chen Mo.

With the expansion of the knights, the original manor was no longer enough to accommodate a large number of knights and war horses. In addition to the very important secret workshop, Chen Mo simply moved the lord's mansion from the original baron manor to this place that originally belonged to the tile. Earl's Blackrock Castle.

This Gothic-style ancient castle is built of solid black stone, with a huge area and a long history. Its towering towers and pointed arch roofs are majestic, mysterious and slightly eerie.

In the study, Chen Mo put down the information in his hand and looked at Andrew standing proudly in front of him. Although he tried to hide it, Chen Mo could still see the worry in his eyes.

Under Chen Mo's sharp and wise eyes, who seemed to know everything, Andrew felt as if he was completely seen through, and there was no more secret.

"What do you want to say about this attack on the Marquis of Leonard?"

Chen Mo looked into Andrew's eyes and asked slowly.

Under Chen Mo's gaze, Andrew's forehead gradually seeped sweat, and finally seemed to have made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and said.

"Lord Lord, in fact, I am from the territory of Marquis Leonard. My father used to be a knight under Marquis Leonard."

Seemingly letting go of the worries in his heart, Andrew said everything at once.

It turned out that at the beginning, because Andrew's family could not afford the huge cost of becoming a knight for him and his brother, Andrew, the youngest son, resolutely joined Marquis Leonard's territory guard and fought for him for many years in order to realize his ideal of becoming a knight.

Relying on strict knight training since he was a child, Andrew has achieved great strength and extraordinary talent. It stands to reason that even if he cannot become a knight, he should be appreciated by the lord, at least he can become a servant knight or the leader of the guard.

However, over the years, Andrew even killed two werewolves with his own hands, but he failed to get the slightest promotion and was still an ordinary soldier.

The reason was because of Marquis Leonard's daughter.

Once, Andrew and other dozens of soldiers and two knights were ordered to escort the Marquis's daughter on a trip. Who would have thought that they encountered two terrifying werewolves.

Dozens of soldiers were slaughtered, and the rest fled. The two knights only killed one werewolf and wounded the other.

Just when the two knights died tragically, the soldiers were slaughtered and fled, and the noble lady was about to be buried in the wolf's mouth. Finally, Andrew picked up a long sword dropped by a knight and stood up in front of her. In the end, the werewolf was killed at the cost of being seriously injured, and the young and beautiful noble lady was saved.

The noble lady who has lived in the castle since she was a child and has never been in contact with the outside world has experienced this thrilling crisis and secretly fell in love with the brave and powerful Andrew.

Andrew also gradually developed a favorable impression of this simple and kind-hearted beautiful girl who was not at all arrogant and arrogant as a noble lady, and the two secretly met and dated from time to time.

After experiencing the danger of being buried in the mouth of a werewolf last time, this weak noble lady is also full of interest in swordsmanship. After seeing Andrew's strength, she often asks Andrew to teach her swordsmanship.

After learning that his ideal was to become a knight, she said that she would also become a female knight in the future and kill werewolves with him.

The two have been secretly dating like this, practicing swordsmanship, the noble lady's swordsmanship is getting higher and higher, and the relationship between the two is getting deeper and deeper.

A few years later, the noble lady reached the age of marriage, and although Andrew has been working hard, he is still an ordinary soldier, and it is impossible to marry the daughter of a noble marquis.

In the end, Marquis Leonard arranged a marriage for her, but she, who has always been docile, was very persistent and would rather die than marry. Enemy fights.

In the end, the Marquis had to cancel the engagement, but then, he found Andrew, and he had already known about the two of them.

It's just that the two of them have never violated the rules, just chatting, playing, and practicing swordsmanship. Marquis Leonard only thought that his daughter was rescued by him and trusted in his strength, so he asked him to escort him every time. I learned from him when I learned about swordsmanship, and I didn't interfere too much, just let my confidants pay close attention.

For Andrew, Marquis Leonard did not take it to heart. There are nearly a hundred powerful knights under him. In his eyes, the infantry are just cannon fodder, and he will not pay too much attention to it. Even if Andrew is much stronger than other soldiers, he is still not attacked. He saw it.

In his opinion, Andrew was just a servant who played with his master. As for saving his daughter's life from a werewolf, this is what he should have done as a servant. If he did not protect his master, they should all be executed. !

Upon discovering the relationship between the two, Marquis Leonard was furious. Due to his daughter's stubborn character, the Marquis did not directly execute Andrew, but expelled him and asked him to leave her a letter so that she could completely give up.

According to Marquis Leonard, you, a pariah, are not worthy of a noble Marquise at all, so don't be delusional. Only a noble can be worthy of his beautiful and noble daughter.

Andrew felt that he had no hope of becoming a knight, let alone a nobleman. He asked himself that he could not match her and give her a better life. In despair, he left a letter according to the request of the marquis, and left the marquis's territory sadly. I came to live in the small village where I met Chen Mo, and planned to forget the past and live this ordinary life like this.

But how could he forget, he will always remember the beautiful girl who wielded a long sword with him.

Her name is Amelia!
