King’s Kingdom

Chapter 3: Iron Paladin

There were 4,000 regular troops in the five military districts of the entire Rhine Kingdom. Theodosius was quite satisfied, but what made him doubtful was the training of these soldiers. He would never know their true condition without seeing them with his own eyes.

What's more, a war might break out now, and Theodosius had to be more attentive in this regard. The Northern Empire was more prestigious than his own kingdom of Rhine, not to mention the fact.

The Northern Empire, which inherited almost one-seventh of the territory of the Hilkati Empire, has a territory of more than 2 million square kilometers. The strength of the two sides is not to mention ants and elephants, at least the gap between tigers and domestic cats.

After spending a whole afternoon in the study, reading the dossier on the table, and having Vico send a lot of recorded materials, Theodosius had a general understanding of the internal situation of the Kingdom of Rhine.

The Lanyin Kingdom is located in the north of the empire, and the northernmost is the inaccessible Hengduan Mountains. In the east, there are a group of hussars with strong riding skills, who maintain a relatively good relationship with the Lanyin Kingdom.

The whole country believes in the Ares sect of the polytheistic church. Contrary to what Theodosius expected, the food production here is not low, and there are few cases of starvation. Combined with the severe cold in the north and the belief in the God of War, the entire The Lanyin Kingdom is full of a kind of warlike folk customs, and the martial arts are in a mess.

In addition to this, the entire country has a well-established reserve army system. Almost every village has at least five conscripts who regularly train their own weapons. Even adult males who fail to become reserve soldiers will practice martial arts. Take to the battlefield for honor.

"The more I look, the more I feel like a barbarian from the north!" Theodosius couldn't help but mutter to himself: "But it doesn't matter, as long as I am strong in martial arts, everyone must respect me. Is there still less about barbarism defeating civilization? "

Walking out of the study, he found that only half of the setting sun was left on the horizon. After obtaining enough information, he also gave him confidence.

"That's why the comrade cavalry must be full!"

As a king, Theodosius, the Kingdom Wind and Cloud System gave him the quota of 30 ally cavalry. As long as he becomes a ally cavalry, he can get a bonus of five points of personal combat ability, and he can also get a certain amount of favor. This gave Theodosius the idea of ​​forming an elite army.

In the evening, Theodosius summoned the knights named in his courtiers column, plus the ministers who held important positions in the castle, a total of more than 200 people gathered.

Theodosius walked into the room with Vico and two guards by his side, wearing a luxurious red robe and a crown of pure gold inlaid with gems.

"May you be invincible, Your Majesty!" Everyone knelt on one knee, holding the long sword. This was the first time Theodosius received them after he took the throne. Everyone thought it was a ceremony to swear allegiance.

Theodosius cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Everyone, as we all know, on the day of my coronation an unprecedented miracle took place, and now I must tell you all that during these four days I was in the gods. The kingdom of God has been taught, and the brilliance and gifts of the gods will be imposed on you through me!"

Theodosius' voice fell, and everyone kneeling on one knee looked at each other in dismay. Their military career had made them a habit of being reticent, but they couldn't suppress their surprise and curiosity.

"I know that various messages have appeared in the kingdom in the past few days, but starting from today, I will use facts to make these messages self-defeating!"

"Your Majesty!" Ser Kamota frowned, looked at Theodosius with worried eyes, and said, "Are you telling the truth? We can't believe such a ridiculous thing anyway!"

As he said that, he glanced at the surrounding court officials and said, "Even if there is no gift from the gods, you are still our majesty. There is absolutely no need to doubt our loyalty! Five people on your throne can be shaken!"

Although each of them believed in the existence of gods and miracles really existed, it was extremely rare for the gods to appear on a certain person. Holy King.

Although His Majesty used to have a reputation for bravery, it would be too outrageous to really talk about the gods' favor.

Theodosius glanced at Sir Camota, then glanced at everyone, and said directly: "Don't worry, everything I say is true, and I will not question your loyalty, I only hope that I The kingdom can grow stronger!"

"I will set up a more elite knight unit commanded only by myself. Those who join this unit will be blessed by the gods, making him more brave and fighting. The doubts in your hearts and It is unbelievable that it will naturally be answered by God's gift!"

Without giving these knights too much time to react, Theodosius walked forward and said: "Only the most loyal and brave knights are eligible to join this army, there are only thirty people, and I will personally select this part of the candidates. !"

Theodosius walked into the crowd, and he found that no one in the room was less than 1.8 meters tall, and he even saw several giant men who were 1.92 meters tall.

"Sure enough, the martial arts are abundant!" Theodosius sighed in his heart, just in terms of physical fitness, this group of people has already completely destroyed the gang of European knights in the previous life.

Theodosius took a general look and found that none of these people's actual combat abilities were lower than twenty, they were completely a group of war machines.

Theodosius selected the thirty people with the highest personal combat ability and the highest favorability to him.

"You are the members of this brand-new army. Next, I will apply the gift of the God of War to you, and you will feel that you will be stronger than before!" Theodosius said The sound echoed throughout the main castle hall.

The knights who were selected were puzzled by the eyes of their colleagues. As for the other knights, they were a little resentful because they were not selected.

Theodosius closed his eyes and added the names of these people to the ranks of fellow cavalrymen.

After a while, Theodosius opened his eyes and said confidently: "Okay, the gift of the God of War has been applied to you!"

"That's it?" Although he didn't say it, almost everyone had such words in their hearts, because the scene in front of them was really ordinary, let alone miracles, even the light that caused the king to faint four days ago was completely unremarkable. Did not appear!

Theodosius looked at everyone's astonished eyes, and said lightly, "You can go and compare with your colleagues who were evenly matched before to see if your strength has changed!"

After listening to Theodosius' words, a fellow cavalryman stood up immediately, found a former colleague, and the two began to learn from each other.

However, the result of the battle between the two who were evenly matched in the past was completely different from before. The knight who was selected as the partner cavalry knocked down the opponent in just three or two strokes. This clean battle suddenly shocked everyone. eyeball.

"What's going on! He has become so strong!"

"It's really a gift from God? Can you do this in such a short period of time?"

Listening to the discussion and the incredible expressions of the crowd, Theodosius was even more satisfied. He smiled and said, "It turns out that I can make the **** of war inflict gifts on mortals. Do you have any questions?"
