The summons drop, and Albrecht resigns at the same time. As expected, Randolph has become the change bag for Zeke Maringen. The ancestor of the Zichmaringen family, Randolph von Zichmaringen.
The Randolph Change Bag re-appoints two earls, and the earls are knights again.
The king, the duc, the change bag, the erl and the barons gave their membership to their direct knights, regardless of rank.
Defeat the hostiles in the North and appoint the erl and barons again. Scheduled personnel were discharged from the Licensing Knights.
The Licence Knights now have more than 500, and 42 senior knights have gathered their opinions and conveyed them to 16 senior knights.
With the election of senior knights, Erbin was unanimously elected to lead the three Licensing Knights.
Erbin was 24 years old and has served in the Knights since he was 19. The commander at that time was just Randolph who was elected.
Herbin was a second-generation member of the Knights and quickly became a senior knight. The battle with the nomads was decisive.
When Randolph joined Albrecht in Halstadt, he mostly brought only the Second Generation Knights. However, many first-generation members joined Albrecht when he recruited in Calteren.
The second generation seemed to be forced to repetition when receiving the title. Still, most second-generation members were able to receive land, and Erbin was able to receive land and personnel.
But it was good to be with the brothers. It seemed to have had more impact on shortlisted than anything else.
Ervin's soft brown hair reaches all the way to his ears, and his bright brown eyes are bold and courageous.
The scar from the right cheek to the chin seemed old, and the overall impression felt simultaneously with strength and relaxation, youth and expertise.
“Master Ervin, the king is looking for you. ”
Hervin was trimming the sword in the building where the knights were stationed. I heard someone come into my room and call out, and now I see that I'm the baron's old master knight.
Although not officially determined, the knights were usually treated as duchesses.
Like, the king's direct cavalry commander, people thought. It was a respectful relationship with the lords.
Erbin wipes his sword with a clean white cloth, tucks it into the sword at his waist and gets up.
A gold seal on the chest near the heart hangs like a badge. A golden seal was placed underneath it, a parchment the length of a finger.
On the top of the parchment was an invitation Albrecht, two Randolphs directly below, and three Erbins below. There was a margin underneath.
Following the baron out of the building, the morning rain was dripping down like a thin scattered rain.
The baron climbs on the horse outside and says,
“Ride with me. ”
Erbin told the knight to bring his horse. Soon after, the brown horse was colonized. He climbed on his horse and followed the baron.
Erbin thought about the king as he rode his horse. The king was called a knight to the northern and central peoples, and in the shrine he was called the first knight commander and the first guardian of the Holy Spirit. He was a king who was called a mercenary in the North and was respected and feared by all.
There were also some Anglians on the base, who respected the king by calling him the guardian knight of Anglia. I didn't know anything else, but this part felt a little bad. The king is from the North. Why do you think he's the protector of your country?
A knight, no. Everyone who grew up with the soul of a warrior admired and respected the king. So was Erbin. It was only when the king led the Knights in the Holy Land that he did not join them. I wish I'd been born a little earlier!
So when Randolph's change bag said he was going to Halstadt, he did not hesitate to follow without his father's permission.
When I first arrived in Calteren, I saw the crushed and trampled corpses. At that time, I felt fear, not respect. How did you kill the body?
Since then, every time I look at the king, he feels like a tiger or a dragon in a man's hood. The charisma emanating from him was not human.
The king has been feeling better lately, but for a while, he has always been somewhat depressed, and it gives me goose bumps just by looking at the frightening glare on the edge of his eyes.
When I encountered the Bedouins not long ago, I saw the king flying up into the sky and pulling out two living quarters vertically, excluding them from the realm of men once in my head.
And as I watched from afar, taking care of the wounded and the warriors, and taking care of the wounded with the queen in the field hospital, I felt that his actions didn't make sense, but I couldn't say anything.
In Herbin's view, the king was beyond the realm of understanding. I just had to feel what I saw and heard.
He was cruel and cruel when he killed his enemies, and when he gave people credit, he was like a father.
When I was in battle, it was like fire, and when I executed the prisoners, it was like freezing ice.
Cruelty and kindness, violence and compassion, fierce fire and cold ice. He was the one with the contradiction.
20 minutes or so. You can see the entrance of the forest. The baron, who was guiding the way ahead, steps into the forest and steps off the horse. He got off his horse and strapped his belt to a nearby tree.
Following him into the woods, dozens of knights stand on their feet, looking at themselves in the rain. They were all Earl or Baron's knights.
The younger ones were in their late 20s, mostly in their 30s, and the older ones were in their early 40s.
Erbin nods, grabbing his helmet slightly, but they only look at themselves indifferently.
It was mostly a forest with thick, tall needles, and it was as tall as a human bush. Trying to get through there, one of your knights reaches out and stops you. Then I reached out my hand.
Ervin pulls his left hand from his left waist quietly, grabbing the sword again, pulling it completely out and pointing it at him.
He grips his head to the side, as if he were unaware of the sword. Then Erbin was able to continue his journey through the forest.
You see eight people in a shallow cave with big rocks like a roof.
Former knight commander and now incumbent white Randolph, Duke of Hamelstrom Hermann, Earl of Sternmark and royal vassal Yurgen, Ranger commander and scout Wilhelm, his deputy commander Richard, his guard and queen's escorts Harolph and Gunnar, and the king sat on a small rock in a silk robe smoking a pipe.
As Herbin enters the room, all but the king's gaze settles on him. King Erbindo's best men, who had always lived confidently, looked at him at once and his heart trembled.
The king lowers his gaze slightly and looks at the ground as if he was thinking something without even looking at him.
A scar from the chin through the left lip to the bottom of the left eye was creating a valley in the beard, but it was not awkward.
Since it was raining, the smoke coming out of my mouth became clear and heavy. A tiger seems to be relaxing.
“What are you doing? Without raising an example. ”
As Randolph comes to a halt, Ervin, who is standing stunned, quickly regains consciousness. Then I got in the rain, I got down on my right knee, and I looked down.
“I am Ervin von Simonberg, the tribal leader of the Lysen Knights. Behold the Great King. ”
Simonberg was the name of the family that Albrecht used to lead when the chief knight Ulrich turned into a change bag.
Albrecht hasn't spoken for a while, even though Erbin posted an example. The crotch rain continues to bloat. The king's vassals quickly took their eyes off him.
Then I heard a thick bass.
“How's it going? ”
Erbin replies as if he was waiting.
“As soon as I give the order, I'm ready to go. ”
Albrecht never spoke again. You scratch your forehead with the thumb of your hand holding the pipe, and look at Erbin with fresh blue eyes.
“You do know that Otto and the Bedouins are united this time, right? They have 50,000 troops. I'm going to leave you with a right or a left. Can you do that? ”
Hervin replies without hesitation.
“I'll give my life. ”
Albrecht said without changing his face.
“I asked if I could do well, and I didn't ask if I'd give my life." ”
Abrecht pointed out that Erbin was suddenly baffled. But what kind of safety would you hesitate to answer?
“Come on, you can do it. ”
“Yes, I do. ”
When Erbin trembles and answers, Albrecht simply accepts. Albrecht smokes a few cigarettes. Cigarette smoke covered my mouth like a cloud.
“This is a different story. I don't know if you'll find it disappointing, but it won't be easy to land the knights anymore. I don't know if it's Central anymore. However, the Knights themselves will land. Do you know what that means? ”
Albrecht said we should stick our necks in the Knights until Erbin dies.
Albrecht examines Herbin's expression with a bold look on his face. But he seemed comfortable.
“I've wanted to serve in the Knights all my life from the beginning. It would be an honor to give the land to the Knights. Your Majesty."
Even though Herbin thought so, he didn't know that any of the members would be hurt.
But I didn't know what would happen if I continued to go to war, and I knew the current lords, so I could get a membership.
“And one more thing, the Knights must be loyal to my family, Hoen-Carltern, not to me. Do you swear this?”
Albrecht said, you must be loyal to the royal family - even if it goes wrong - forever.
Albrecht had no children yet, but he did not want them to have great power if it happened later, and if it happened again after a while.
The power was too strong because even if only one fool came out, he could take out the whole country. But I needed some strength, and I needed a royal sword to do that. That was the Licence Knights.
Current cults such as Randolph and Hermann will remain loyal to Albrecht himself until death, but they cannot know the far future.
“I pledge allegiance to your family with my sword and soul. ”
Albrecht gets up from his seat without hesitation and approaches Erbin on his knees. Then I killed the Illudian sword.
“This is my faith in the Knights, and a token of your oath. Not only you, but the Knights must remain loyal to my family forever. ”
Ervin tries to resist, but his trembling hands do not calm down. I took the sword from the emperor with both hands.
Perhaps Herbin will serve as a lifelong knight and settle laws, rules, traditions and cultures that will affect the knights of the future.
Then, from the beginning, the Knights had to make them into a group loyal only to the Emperor, so they lowered their swords.
Even if it wasn't, the Knight Master deserved a sword.
Albrecht returns to his seat and bites the pipe.
“Then go. The journey is in three days. ”
Erbin rises and bows his head to Albrecht.
“I'll be going, Your Grace. ”
Ervin takes a few steps back and turns away from the gut. My heart thumped. I was increasingly excited that I was recognized by a legendary figure who I didn't always want to follow. I won't let you down.
I rode past the Knights again and scooped Illudia out of the forest for a long time. A light of golden light flows through the white sword. The heart of Erbin rests on the beautiful womb of an unparalleled blade.
And three days later, Albrecht led a total of 12,000 troops and began his journey.
