Chapter 65： Knight

Outside Bingyan City, the strong smell of blood has not yet completely dissipated.

Countless vultures are holding their carnival banquet here.

Three days have passed since that tragic battle, and the atmosphere in Ice Rock City is still extremely suppressed.

On the square in the center of the city, a corpse was gathered, ready to be burned.

They used to be great figures in the North, noble and elegant nobles, and rulers of one side. However, now, they are like dead dogs, dragged at will and thrown into the fire.

"...This is the fate of the betrayer!"

On the square, an army officer was reading aloud the crimes of these lords and nobles.

The people onlookers watched all this in fear and excitement.

They couldn't understand why these nobles would betray their allegiance to the Duke of St. Hilde. However, seeing that the nobles who had been aloof were thrown to the dust, their hearts were filled with inexplicable pleasure.

Colin stood among them, looking at the strange or familiar faces in the square, and he couldn't help but feel chills in his heart.

The two brothers of the Saint Hild family are really ruthless!

Nearly a hundred lords, just like killing a chicken, they are all killed!

"Colin, let's go. The ceremony is about to begin, you must not be late!"

Sister Caitlin urged on the side that she was very uncomfortable with the smell of blood here and kept holding her nose.

"Okay. Let's go."

Some people are sad, others are happy.

As if the world is always maintaining a balance.

Those old lords die, naturally new lords will be born.

Perhaps in order to dilute the murderous atmosphere and stabilize the hearts of the people, the Duke of St. Hilde decided to hold the award ceremony in Ice Rock City today.

It stands to reason that the awarding of the Northern Territory should be carried out in the Roar of Winter City.

But at this time, no one dared to oppose the Duke of St. Hild who was able to kill.

The 　　 award ceremony was held in the main hall of the glorious church in Bingyan City.

Colin had been here once before, to buy holy water.

And now, for this noble ceremony, this place has obviously been rearranged.

The multicolored glazed glass was polished to be extraordinarily bright, reflecting brilliant brilliance under the shining of the sun. Various murals were hung on the four walls of the hall. In the center, the sculpture of the Lord of Radiance stood majestically, as if watching To every nobleman present.

When Colin came in, the place was full of nobles who came to watch the ceremony.

Although there were a lot of people and it seemed to be lively, but Colin knew that most of these nobles were generals in the Black Cavalry.

They are actually vassals of the Marquis Garcia.

But there are very few vassals who truly loyal to the Duke of St. Hild—because most of them have become corpses in the square.

Aside from Colin, those who can still attend are also the group of nobles headed by Earl Uman.

However, Colin knew that Earl Uman was not "turning to war" at all. This guy was basically an undercover agent arranged by the Duke of St. Hild in the lord's coalition!

The purpose is to incite the lords' dissatisfaction and lead them to fight against the Saint Hild family.

Finally, the two brothers of the Saint-Hilde family dug a pit and buried it.

Since three years ago, these real bigwigs in the North have already begun to make arrangements, sweeping away all the external and internal threats in the North, and finally come to an end today.

Colin lamented in his heart, it seems that the biggest suspect of murdering him will continue to be at large, and he does not know when he will be able to completely eliminate this threat.

With a melodious bell, the Duke of St. Hild walked into the hall.

All the nobles immediately stood up, bowed and saluted to welcome the arrival of the Duke.

It was the first time for Ke Lin to see this master of the North.

He looks like he is about fifty years old, he is very fat, and his hair is slightly white. Although he tried to straighten his waist when he walked into the hall, Colin still saw that the opponent was unable to do what he wanted.

It stands to reason that this is not the state that a knight should have in his prime.

However, Colin knew that although the Duke of St. Hild once crowned the North, he was even known as the sixth-order knight of this generation of St. Hild, the most hopeful step into the sanctuary!

But, just five years ago, the Duke was seriously injured after a duel with the previous troll emperor.

Since then, he has not only severed the hope of stepping into the sanctuary, but has also been stunned. His hair has begun to gray, his waist has begun to buckle, and his body has become increasingly obese.

The powerful knight of the past has become a blessed middle-aged uncle.

"Honorable lords, brave knights!" The Duke of St. Hild stood still on the stage and said loudly.

"The recent Northern Territory is a bit unrest, the invasion of trolls, the rebellion of the lords... But under the protection of the Lord of Radiance, and with your full support and heroic fighting, we still won the final victory!"

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

...

There was a cheer from the audience at the right time, and the nobles applauded and congratulated.

The Duke of St. Hilde pressed his hand and continued: "In order to commend the heroes who have made great efforts for this victory, I will award them one by one!"

There was naturally another cheering in the audience.

There have been no new nobles in the North for a long time, and this time, it seems that a large number of new nobles will be born.

After all, so many old nobles have vacated their positions and land. The Duke of St. Hilde must give a lot of rewards whether it is to comfort the people or to better rule the north.

The first person to receive the award, he was indeed the second person of the Black Cavalry-Earl Dawson.

The confidant of the Marquis of Garcia, UU Reading was canonized as a Marquis by the Duke.

This is also the second sealed marquis in the north.

After this, the Marquis of Dawson will also leave the vassal sequence of the Marquis of Garcia and swear allegiance to the Duke of St. Hild.

This also indicates that after the Duke of St. Hild has swept away the two major threats in the north, he finally started to threaten the third threat-the black cavalry.

And his methods did not exceed Colin's expectation—differentiation and win.

After 　　, it turned out that a large number of the backbone generals of the Black Cavalry accepted the Duke's canonization.

These new nobles, born from the Black Cavalry, will continue to obey the orders of the Marquis of Garcia in the future? Or will it change the door and be loyal to the new owner?

...

Finally, Colin waited for his name.

Sister Caitlin clapped excitedly, as if it was herself who accepted the canonization.

Amidst the cheers, Colin strode to the center of the venue and knelt on one knee in front of the Duke of St. Hild.

The Duke 　　 held the long sword in front of him, and said solemnly:

"Colin Angele, you have used your courage, wisdom, and faith to prove your loyalty and value to the Lord of Radiance and me!

Here, in the name of Duke St. Hilde, on behalf of the Lord of Glory and His Majesty the Emperor, I canonize you as Viscount Anglia!

I hope you will use your loyalty and your life to protect this glory! "

After finishing speaking, the Duke's blade tapped on the top of Colin's head and both shoulders.

"I, Colin Anglia, swear by the heroic spirits of my ancestors to dedicate my loyalty to the Lord of Glory, to the Duke of St. Hild!

Your will is my direction, your..."

Colin read the oath, but he was surprised and inexplicably surprised.

Viscount?

turned out to be the Viscount!
