Abe the Wizard

Not all knights come from wealthy aristocracy, and while many nobles retain the knight's inheritance, they are almost a family heirloom set of armor and weapons, with nothing of value.

Just like Count Bennett in that year, if Count Bennett was captured on the battlefield in that year, he would not be able to offer enough ransom.

The same is true of most nobles, which is why these knights enter their respective Duchy Knights Cavalry in search of chances for change.

Knights who join the Principality generally have two purposes, one is to enhance their own strength. These knights' families lack inheritance or are imperfect in inheritance, so they want to join the Principality's Knights' Corps in order to gain strength.

The other is that the family itself is wealthy, they have a good heritage, they have enough family heritage, they join the Knights Corps for rights, whether it is combat work or their own promotion in the Knights Corps, is their goal.

The five principalities were unable to redeem all their knights, and the 10,000 knights were thus thrown into the Principality of Kamei.

And how to deal with this group of knights became a big problem, too bad to kill, but they couldn't be reassured if they wanted to transfer them to the Principality of Carmichael.

After a month of captivity in the city of Gbarba, despair spread throughout the captivity camp, with 10,000 knights eagerly waiting to be redeemed from captivity until they saw a knight with a strong extended family background leave the captivity camp.

Until a month later, no more captive knights were redeemed and left the camp.

A feeling of being betrayed by their own principalities rises from their hearts, they fight for their own principalities, and their principalities abandon them, disregarding their lives and their deaths.

Of the more than 10,000 knights, the vast majority are middle and lower-level knights, while senior knights and knights do not have many lengths, and most of these two levels of knights have been redeemed.

Because it builds a family of two ranks of knights, advanced riding sites and knight length, there is not too much wealth.

This morning, all 10,000 cavalry prisoners were assembled in the square, whose faces had been starved and tormented, completely devoid of the powerful knighthood.

These knights are guarded here by the Great Cavalier of Bodley, and members of his family have not been harmed as a result of their early departure from the inner gold city.

However, because of the looting of the inner gold city, which also caused heavy losses to his family, it is important to know that members of his family were in a hurry to leave and had limited possessions to take away, especially since Abel did not send anyone to the inner gold city because of the rebellion.

In other words, while the war between the Principality of Kamei and the five Principals has ended and the Principality of Kamei has won, the lost city of Nei Jin has not yet been recovered, which makes the city nominally the city of the Principality of Thunder.

It is precisely for this reason that Abel stopped delivering food to Inner Golden City a month ago, which prevented the family of the Great Knight of Bodley from returning to its territory for a short period of time.

This infuriated the great knight of Bodley, who knew Abel would give him a confession, but he had no good temper for the 10,000 knights who had left his family without territory.

He could not abuse the knights because of their norms, but he managed them more rigorously, allowing them to eat only some food to maintain their minimum health every day, but what he could do within his mandate.

And as long as it is a knight captive who commits an offence and does not listen to discipline, he will never have soft hands, which makes more than 10,000 knights captive, each very afraid of him.

Coupled with the suppression of their own strength, there has been no excessive behaviour despite the growing despair of more than 10,000 knights.

These knights are waiting for the Duchy of Kameh, for Abel's decision, for a decision about their fate.

For knights who are unable to pay ransom for the treatment of their captives, the principalities usually sell them into slavery or throw them into the mines after the fighting has been abolished, and they will never see the sun again for the rest of their lives or kill them directly.

Of course, if the captured knights are innocent, there will be a small number of recruits, which is generally a small opportunity, mainly because of the problem of loyalty.

The knight inheritance of each principality is handed down among the families of the knight nobility, and even if recruited, the knights are betrayed for family reasons.

Just as more than 10,000 knights were anxious, the figure of Abel in the Wizard's Robe appeared in a white light on the wooden platform in front of the camp.

“Intermediate Wizard!” One of the more than 10,000 knights has recognized what the white light was, the light of 'instant movement', and a whisper appeared in the knight's mouth.

A powerful middle-level wizard, Abel's age, is already a middle-level wizard, and the knights present have a slightly frightening thought.

Although wizards cannot participate in the world, it is a rule, a rule of the Wizards Guild and a rule that all wizards must abide by.

But this rule is particularly powerless in the face of Abel, the master of blacksmiths, whose identity is more noble than that of a junior high school wizard.

Just as those who are noble will use Abbot instead of Abbot wizards when they call him Abbott, they all agree that the master of blacksmiths is Abbott's master.

So even the Sorcerer's Guild doesn't see Abel as a pure sorcerer, but as a blacksmith and part-time sorcerer.

That is why Abel, as a wizard, could become a duke and a king of the Principality. On the one hand, he must be so rewarded because of his great combat skills, and on the other hand, he must be a master of blacksmiths.

The status of intermediate wizard is, for ordinary knights, the strongest of the worlds, who have not met advanced wizards, and the most powerful of the knights in their lives is intermediate wizards.

If at first the captives of the more than 10,000 knights had failed them in the war because of the absolute repression over the equipment of the Principality of Kameh, then the status of Abe intermediate wizards had left them fearful of the Principality of Kameh.

The knights do not know how long the intermediate wizards will live, but most knights know one thing very well. Some of the intermediate wizards in the Principality have been present in the Principality since their grandchildren, and in their time, the intermediate wizards have not changed much.

The mysterious king, the mighty king, the almost immortal king, these words rose in the hearts of more than 10,000 knights, and their eyes were on Abel, on the mighty king who determined their destiny.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I regret to inform you that your principality has abandoned you!” Abel looked around at the captives of the 10,000 knights under him and said out loud.

As soon as his voice fell, more than 10,000 knights were captured and bombed.

Although they are psychologically prepared and can be inferred from the recent days, there is no way to accept this outcome when they hear it.

It is unacceptable that wars waged by their principalities, at the national level, end with the abandonment of knights.

“Quiet!” Abel sighed, saying that momentarily in his body, the double-knighted chief and intermediate wizard, coupled with the inadvertent revelation of silverware, suppressed the captivity of more than 10,000 knights throughout the prison camp.

More than 10,000 knights were captured almost simultaneously, and at that moment they had little to think about and no way to breathe.

More than a dozen of the original more than 10,000 knights were formidable knights, many times stronger than ordinary knights, and not so easily suppressed, but the prisoners of war, coupled with days of detention, food shortages, and defencelessness.

Even though Abel's repression has spread to more than 10,000 cavalier prisoners, he has suppressed more than a dozen cavalier chiefs.

More than 10,000 knight captives retreated with Abel's momentum, breathing throughout the camp, and all the knights' eyes refocused on Abel, whose strength was far from surprising.

“I would have dealt with the enemies who invaded my Principality of Kamei by throwing you into a mine and using your lifetime to compensate you for what you did to the Principality of Kamei!” When Abel spoke of this, the worst result was a shock in the hearts of the more than 10,000 cavalier captives below, but they seemed to hear a turning point in the Abe tone.

“However, the Principality of Kamei understands that you are bewitched by the Principality and that coming to the Principality of Kamei is not your intention, so give you two choices, one is to abolish the fighting and send you into the mine cave of the Principality of Kamei, and after 20 years of labor, you will be free!” Abe spoke softly.

More than 10,000 knight captives are not fools, and they are able to cultivate the wisdom of becoming full knights, each far beyond the ordinary.

What do you mean, 20 years of labor, abolished fighting, entering the mine, don't say 20 years, living five years is lucky, besides, even if 20 years of real labor, coming out of the mine alive, that life will be ruined, what's the point of coming out alive!

More than 10,000 knight captives did not make a sound, and they were waiting for Abel to tell them another choice.

“The second option is to become knights of the Principality of Kamei, assuming, of course, that you write to your family, that they must move to the Principality of Kamei, and of course that the title of the original family will also be recognized in the Principality of Kamei!” Abel sighed.

These two choices shine in the eyes of many of the knights present, knowing that the average small family, that is, a family, with only one knight, who cannot return, will also be annexed by another nobleman.

“Distinguished King Abe, my family needs permission from the Principality of Tacos to leave, and I'm afraid the Principality of Tacos will have difficulty agreeing to my family's relocation!” A knight bowed down.

To be honest, the more than a dozen Knights who are able to stay here are knights who are not valued among their respective principalities and whose families are very weak, but the Principality will not let a knights' family move away from their principality.

Knight Chiefs are also a resource, and as long as the Knight Chiefs' families are mastered, the Knight Chiefs cannot leave the Principality.

Even if the Knight Commander were captured, he would not be able to serve the other principalities, otherwise what awaited him was the extinction of his family.

“I, the Duchy of Carmichael, want to move your family, which one dares to stop it? The Principality of Tacos?” Abel grinned and asked back.

The chief knight then thought that the strength of the Principality of Tacos had now fallen to the bottom of the valley, and that the war, though over, had not yet been truly liquidated, nor had the final end of the war taken place, and that, with the strength of the Principality of Kameh, if the demands made by Abel were not met, the end of the kingdom was at hand.

“Dear King Abel, I, the Knight Jeremy, wish to be your sword, your enemy will be my enemy, your wish will be my command, I will always bow to your throne, please accept my allegiance!” The Jeremy knight knelt down on one knee and vowed aloud.

Abel was very pleased with the performance of this Jeremy Knight Chief, a public gesture that had a tremendous impact on other knights.

His figure disappeared in a white light and then appeared in front of Knight Jeremy, who pulled out his knight's sword and gently tripled on the left and right shoulders of the Knight Jeremy and on his head, then silently said: “I accept the loyalty of Knight Jeremy! ”

With the loyalty of Knight Jeremy, most of the knights in the camp chose loyalty, especially the more than a dozen knights who, like Knight Jeremy, were loyal to Abel.

And knights who have no allegiance on the spot have not refused, except that their situation is special, such as having two knights in the family or the difficulty of relocating the family.

By the time Abel had left the camp, fewer than 3,000 knights had been captured throughout the camp.

Knight allegiance is a solemn matter, and no knight would deceive with false knight allegiance, because the knight's profession exists and oath of allegiance is the most important component of it.

These knights, abandoned by their original principality, are free in their identity, their original oaths can no longer bind them, and new oaths restore their identity from captivity to knight status.

Of course, this cavalier status is currently only available for the life of a cavalier, and in order to truly enjoy the Cavalier training treatment of the Principality of Kamei, it is necessary to wait for their families to be relocated to the Principality of Kamei.

The emigration of families is a major project, but the Duchy of Kamei, with its victory in war, has not made it difficult for the five principalities to behave.

Or what the five principalities want most now is to move these families quickly to the Principality of Kamei, knowing that these aristocrats chase them every day demanding redemption for the Knights of the Homeland.

Now it is only the best thing that the Principality of Kameh wants these families, which no longer have knights, to these principalities it is just a waste of more food.

In the course of the relocation of these knights' families, representatives of the five principalities had also arrived in the Principality of Kameh, not without representation, but because Abe had been busy with the prisoners and had no intention of consulting with representatives of the five principalities.

“Your Majesty, there are too many knights in the Principality of Kamei at once, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for our Principality to accommodate these knights' families!” Above the palace of the Royal Palace of the Duchy of Carmichael, Count Brooke bowed down.

Abel rarely appears in the palace, just because a war on the future of the Principality of Kameh has just come to an end, something has to be done to keep him in the palace of the Gumba City.

The emplacement of the knights is troublesome, and at least one of these knights with a crest has to prepare a plot of land for them, which is the foundation of the knights' family, without which the knights' family would not survive in the Principality of Kamei.

The other thing is that families of knights with no crest, at least a decent job, have enough cities to settle in.

But although the Principality of Kamei does not have many knights, nobility has already taken the interests of every city, and the noble interests of the Principality of Kamei cannot be usurped by the families of foreign knights!

“Count Brooke, I know what you mean, we are too small a Duchy of Carmichaels!” Abel smiled and said to Count Brooke.

“Yes, Your Majesty, our principality is too small!” Count Brooke said in an excited bow.

“Father, you and Count Brooke negotiate with the five principalities to let them spit out enough land, no matter how well they coordinate among the five principalities, I need enough cities in the Principality of Carmichael to welcome the Knight family!” Abel turned around and said to Count Bennett beside him.

Abel's designation of Count Bennett made the Duchy of Kamei's ministers present helpless, knowing that, as king, his identity was supposed to be the most honorable in the Principality's official setting, but he still did as he was called.

But because his identity is too noble and his own strength too powerful, neither the Duchy's chief minister nor the royal housekeeper Bobich, who was supposed to have a guiding duty, can say much about this.

“Your Majesty, I will join Count Brooke in the negotiations, and I will make sure that the five principalities pay their heartbreaking price!” Count Bennett bowed in courtesy, he was different from Abel, and he would not be rude in this palace.

Due to his status, Count Bennett is now an important authority of the Principality of Kameh, since the Harry family in Toyota itself is small, and since Count Marshall would not be involved in government, the original royal authority is now essentially vested in him.

The two counts of the royal family, one for Marshall and one for Bennett, are in the eyes of others like the Harry and Bennett families of Toyota.

Abel is not too involved in the negotiations, and this should be handled by a more experienced minister, and his involvement in these matters will only lead to a loss of decency.

Months later, with the advent of spring, the Principality of Kamei seems to have received a new glory, with more than 10,000 knights in the Principality at once, and the families of these knights have arrived in the Principality of Kamei.

The territory of the Principality of Kameh has also increased, albeit through negotiations, almost unilaterally, and the five principalities are discussing the allocation of conditions among the five principalities.

Ultimately, the Duchy of Kameh was compensated by the Principality of Thunder, the Principality of Raqqa, the Principality of Koror and the Principality of Ralwi, while the founder of the war, the Principality of Tacos, paid the price of five cities.

The seventeen cities were divided and delivered to the Principality of Kamei from the Principality of Thunder around the Principality of Kamei, the Principality of Raqqa and the Principality of Colore, and the Principality of Kamei was no longer concerned about how to adjust the distribution of those cities among the five Principals, and the benefits were in its hands anyway.

Of the 17 cities received by the Principality of Kamei, all the nobles of the entire city have been expelled as a result of previous experience in the city of Nei Jin, and the cities received have essentially become cities without nobility.

Decisions like this would have disrupted the seventeen cities due to a lack of regulators, but with large numbers of Knightly aristocracy families, they quickly complemented regulators.

The Duchy of Kamei has expanded considerably, and the additional land is sufficient for the survival of the Knights' family, while the Duchy of Kamei officially owns a vast cavalry of Knights of 10,000.

Five principalities have lost a great deal of land, and because of the lack of knights and wizards, their strength has suddenly fallen from the middle principality to the last.

The Kingdom of St. Ellis did not intervene during this period, and the strength shown by the Duchy of Carmichael has given this ancient empire a sense of surprise, and the most passive feeling of the empire is the true power of Abel.

Abel's battles have been outnumbered by the killing of four high-ranking wizards and the addition of six high-ranking Orc sacrifices, which will deter any high-ranking wizard from confronting him directly.

And the tragic tragedy of Niyan City made the three empires even more afraid to fight him, and as long as he couldn't figure out how he turned that Niyan smoke into a dead end, he wouldn't fight him directly.

Four months after the end of the war, Abel finally took care of what happened after the war, and the Duchy of Kameh became the largest principality in the entire Holy Continent because of the presence of 17 more cities and a large number of territories.

No other principality now has a greater territory than the Principality of Kameh, and thanks to the addition of 10,000 new knights, the strength of the Principality of Kameh has jumped to second place to the existence of the three great empires.

“Your Majesty, King Kenneth of the Duchy of Keene has sent a messenger waiting for you outside the palace!” Butler Bobby found Abel reading and bowed to the story.

“What can the Principality of Keene do for me?” Abel dropped the book and asked strangely.

The intelligence organization of the Principality of Kameh has always been handled and reported by the Berbich Butler, so he knows more about what is happening in the Principality.

“Your Majesty, the Principality of Keene is no longer able to sustain itself, and it has been heard that their food is so scarce that there is no seed for spring farming that the Principality of Keene may be the first Principality of the Holy Land to perish as a result of reduced crop production.” Bobby Butler bowed down and replied.

“What do you mean, they want to buy food from me?” Abel asked somewhat surprised.

No wonder he was surprised that his relationship with the Principality of Keene was not good. The grudge of the year caused him to destroy the wizard circle of the Principality of Keene. We should not find him here any more!

“Your Majesty, have you met the Messenger?” Butler Berbich asked again.

“Well, take the messenger to the palace, call Count Brooke and my father to the palace!” Abel waved.

After that, he stood up and stretched his hips. Lately, his exploration of the dark world slowed down, but the results were still good. He had already explored the true Tarasha for most of the time, and more importantly, his recent Grade 12 Wizard Crystal was about to fill up again.

That was also the reason for the war, which had delayed his cultivation in the dark world for some time, otherwise he would have gone into fullness earlier.

Abel stepped out of the study and came to the dressing room, and with the help of a maid, she changed into a formal Chinese dress.

Though the Principality of Keene had faded, the least respect was to be given, and Count Bennett and Count Brooke had waited in the palace as Abel, who had been replaced with a robe, entered the palace.

He greeted them and sat down in the middle.

And at the same time, the Berbich Butler brought the Principality of Keene's messenger to the palace on time.

“Your Majesty, I am Viscount Burraget of the Principality of Keene, and I am here to see you on behalf of King Kenneth!” The Apostle of the Principality of Keene, Viscount Burraget, bowed to Abel with a half-hearted salute.

Abel was stunned, because Viscount Burraget's attitude was not what an apostle representing his king should have, and this half-baked courtesy was unconventional.

Viscount Breiger represented King Kenneth, the Duchy of Keene, and it could be said that this ceremony was given on behalf of King Kenneth.

Not only was Abel stunned, but even Count Bennett and Count Brooke on the side were stunned. No one thought that Viscount Breje would be an impolite nobleman, not to mention that Viscount Breje, as an apostle, had the title of Viscount alone, indicating that he must be inherited in family etiquette.

“Viscount Burraget, pardon me. Sit down!” Abel bowed a little and gave a gift, smiling.

Since Viscount Burraget was treated with such a gratuity, he also gave back Viscount Burraget with a noble etiquette.

“Thank you, Your Grace!” Viscount Blager bowed and sat in a chair arranged by the Berbich butler.

“First of all, Your Majesty, on behalf of King Kenneth, I congratulate you on your successful defeat of the five bandits and your achievements will be remembered as a perfect war!” As soon as Viscount Breiger sat down, he began to praise the war that had ended before.

Everyone here understands his psychology with the Principality of Keene, four of the five principalities having invaded the Principality of Keene, which is why he would call them bandits.

“I don't like war, but I never fear war!” Abel smiled lightly.

What will be remembered by the world is false. If the Duchy of Kameh is now weakened, then what is recorded in the Book of History may refer to, and the results will only be recorded for the strong.

“I have been entrusted by King Kenneth to make an impertinent request to you, the Principality of Keene, for incorporation into the Principality of Carmichael!” The words of Viscount Breiger just came out, and Count Bennett and Count Brooke were forced to move forward, and their faces were overwhelmed with excitement.

Abel was only slightly confused, and to be honest, he would not have taken over a principality if it had not been for a few of the families associated with him, just because the principality had slowed him down.

Of course, this slowness is relative, and his training speed is like flying in the eyes of any wizard on the Holy Land.

He wondered why the Principality of Keene had chosen to invest in the Principality of Kameh rather than in other options.

“Your Majesty, the Principality of Keene has reached the point of depletion, our people no longer have food to feed, our Principality no longer has the capacity to resist invasion, King Kenneth has no control over the Principality, we are surrounded by bandits, the only thing that can keep our people alive is the Principality of Kameh!” Viscount Burraget said sincerely.

The Principality of Keene has become essentially an empty shell, except that now around the Principality of Keene, the Principality of Larvy, the Principality of Tacos, the Principality of Raqqqa and the Principality of Koror have suffered a terrible loss of power because they have just been hit hard by the Principality of Kameh.

But the four principalities that have lost power are also stronger than today's Principality of Keene, which has lost a great deal of land, and they need to reduce their losses, so it is their choice to make up for the loss by re-invading the city that occupies the Principality of Keene.

It is only now that the four principalities are losing some power and will need some time to recover, and because of the sudden decline in power, they will also have to defend themselves against aggression against them by other imperial powers, so for a short time they did not have the energy to invade the Principality of Keene.

“What does King Kenneth want?” Abel didn't show much excitement, he asked silently.

The Principality of Keene is large and does not share borders with the Principality of Kamae, and once the Principality of Keene is admitted to the Principality of Kamae, the land between the two Principals will have to be connected.

It is not difficult, of course, to open a path permanently to the Principality of Keene, either from the Principality of Raqqqa or from the Principality of Koror.

It's just that Abel needs to know what the Principality of Keene wants, and King Kenneth won't give him a principality directly if he wants to.

“There is only one condition for King Kenneth to ensure that the Royal Family of the Principality of Keene is treated in its proper capacity in the Principality of Kameh!” Viscount Burraget bowed.

This requirement is modest, too low to say, but it is precisely this that reflects the fact that the current reality of the Principality of Keene has deprived King Kenneth of the courage to make conditions.

“The Duke title of King Kenneth will remain unchanged and his family can permanently designate a city in the Principality of Keene as his family enclosure!” Abel thought about the silence, "he said.

This answer was very satisfactory to Viscount Breiger. It is impossible to know that conditions higher than this are impossible. One country is no different. Although King Kenneth has changed from king to owner of the city, he can choose a city among the Principality of Keene, which has been given enough privilege!
