Chapter 160 Order Knight
Fabio did not attend the party.
Instead, he took his two nephews, took out the greased chain armor and weapons from the arsenal, dressed them neatly, and patrolled the manor.
"Uncle Fabio, why don't you take this opportunity to show your face to the lord more often?"
"That's right, maybe my lord discovers your talent and makes you a knight. Then, we will follow you as a squire."
The faces of the two nephews were full of excitement.
Lothar's arrival broke the tranquility and boredom of the manor over the years.
At least, they had never seen such a beautiful noble woman before.
The most common outsiders you see are just vendors who come here to buy wine.
Even if they just looked at her from a distance, they felt that there was no more beautiful girl in the world.
"It would be great if I could be noticed by that beautiful lady. Maybe I could become a nobleman? It's all my uncle's fault. I lost the chance to show my charm in front of that lady."
"Bah, why don't you pee and take a photo?"
Fabio looked at the two overactive nephews, scolded with a straight face: "Shut up, everyone, now is not the time to chat."
"Uncle Fabio, you are too nervous. How can a big shot like Mr. Lothar need our protection?"
Fabio wanted to explain that this "Mr. Lothar" was different from Leonard, Count of Transjordan, who had been in Hebron before, but he was worried that these two nephews would speak out loud again.
"Anyway, don't have such delusions."
Fabio said solemnly: "In the aristocratic world, when an aristocratic lady has an affair with a commoner, the result is often that the commoner is killed and the aristocratic lady is exiled to a monastery."
However, the nephew who was a bit noisy at first did not answer the question at this moment.
He wanted to look back.
Warning signs from his experience in the military suddenly emerged.
He subconsciously bent down and heard a whoosh, as a sleeve arrow flew over his head, and with a snap, was nailed to the gray wall in front of him.
Look back.
His eyes were wide open, and his two nephews had suddenly been pierced through the necks by sleeve arrows. They fell to the ground one after another with two thuds.
His angry mood suddenly cooled down when he saw the face of the intruder clearly.
In the darkness, men wearing gray robes and turbans were walking towards this side silently like ghosts.
There were at least thirty of them. Fabio, who was well-informed, immediately spelled out a terrifying word in his mind - Assassin Assassin!
The two assassins raised their crossbows and aimed at his neck and heart respectively.
Fabio rolled over and tried to avoid it.
But beyond seven steps, the crossbow arrows are fast, and within seven steps, the crossbow arrows are accurate and fast.
boom--
The two crossbow arrows were suddenly bounced away, as if there was an invisible barrier.
Someone suddenly appears among Fabio and the assassins.
The visitor was only wearing a thin silk shirt, with bare hands, and was staring at them with a smile.
The assassins were horrified because they didn't know when the other party came to them.
"who?"
Assassin's assassins asked in broken Frankish.
"If nothing else, he should be the target you want to assassinate."
Lothar put a dried sweet date that he took from the wine table into his mouth and chewed it.
He looked these people up and down: "They are really Assassin's assassins. Are you guys monopolizing all the assassination business in the Eastern World?"
"Just in time, let me see who of you is more powerful compared to the group I bumped into last time."
The words have not yet fallen.
Sleeve arrows and crossbow arrows rained down on Lothar.
But Lothar had no intention of avoiding it.
Lothar attaches great importance to this "performance show". Without a crushing effect, it may be difficult to convince Prajna.
Although she does not object to being controlled by Prajna, Lothar still hopes to gain as much freedom as possible for herself - at least not to be followed even to the toilet.
"grown ups!"
There was a trace of panic on Fabio's face. He picked up a wooden board by the wall and rushed towards Lothar.
However, before he could get close, he was thrown away by a huge force.
When he looked up, he found that the one who stopped him was actually the female knight!
Jeanne smiled and nodded to him: "Don't worry, it will be no problem for adults to deal with these little guys. You can just watch from the side."
Fringilla snorted coldly: "They want to rely on the magic-blocking gold to restrain the secret method of our Blood Royal Court, but they don't have the ability."
Demon-blocking gold has a restraining effect on most extraordinary creatures in this world, but it has no effect on followers from other worlds.
The crossbow arrows and sleeve arrows passed through Lothar's figure, causing ripples.
Immediately, an Assassin assassin suddenly held his neck, and large amounts of blood spilled out from between his fingers.
Lothar didn't know when he had quietly arrived among the assassins.
In his hand, the shining cross sword appeared out of thin air, and under the blessing of the blood waterfall, his whole body seemed to turn into a blood shadow, shuttling among the crowd.
Lothar is still fighting using the blood magic given to her by Fringilla, but her fighting style is obviously more like a melee mage.
For every person who fell to the ground, a large pool of blood quickly flowed out like a water pump.
"Tsk, although there are many of you, your level is really average."
in a blink.
More than ten of the invading assassins died, and the remaining people all wanted to reach into their arms, obviously taking drugs.
Lothar had been prepared for this move.
Although they are sure they can defeat these people if they take drugs, the effect will definitely not be as crushing as it is now.
So, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers: "Blood explosion."
A blood explosion is not a blood waterfall.
next moment.
The blood of all the dead flowing on the ground, like some kind of high explosive, exploded into countless sharp blades made of blood. The assassins who were approaching were immediately pierced into a sieve.
Fringilla was a little surprised: "My lord has even learned this trick of mine - I can hardly use it, how could your lord be so easy?"
Jeanne thought thoughtfully: "Maybe it has something to do with your dragon-born bloodline."
She nudged Prajna gently with her elbow: "How about it, sir, isn't it awesome?"
"Um."
Prajna also looked a little surprised: "I didn't expect that your Excellency would make such rapid progress."
Lothar chased down and killed the remaining enemies one by one, and his level was directly raised to level eleven.
On the battlefield, killing enemies with lances and swords is too slow.
In comparison, it is much easier to deal with these assassins with light armor or even no armor.
"My lord."
Fabio looked at Lothar slowly walking towards him with some horror.
He simply couldn't believe that the legendary ferocious and brutal Assassin assassins were so easily eliminated by Lothar, and the methods used were still so fantastic.
Lothar praised: "Fabio, I am very satisfied with your performance, even though you couldn't help much."
"I'm ashamed, my lord."
Fabio's voice was trembling.
His martial arts skills were pretty good, but in his eyes, people like Lothar were beyond his ability to deal with. He was clearly a wizard.
Lothar said: "I am a wizard, not a monster. You can rest assured of this, Fabio."
Fabio nodded and said, "Yes, sir, it's just my first time seeing a wizard."
"Kneel down, Fabio."
Lothar put the cross sword in his hand on the opponent's shoulder.
"Sir... sir, you?"
Fabio was confused for a while. He was still confused at first. The beheading posture was not like this.
Only later did he realize that this was not a punishment for him at all, but the beginning of the canonization ceremony he had dreamed of.
"You have tried your best, and you have managed the Asuka Manor quite well. I admire your talent very much."
"So, Fabio."
Lothar's tone became extremely serious: "Are you willing to be my knight of the order?"
"Sir, I do!"
Fabio felt a burst of joy in his heart, but when he saw the bodies of his two nephews lying on the ground, he suddenly felt a burst of sadness.
"Then swear your oath to me,"
Fabio just organized his words a little and began to swear.
According to the bards, it is not uncommon for soldiers to be knighted for their bravery. I have never seen it happen, so there will be no problem if I follow what the bards say.
Lothar solemnly said: "I accept your allegiance, Fabio. You should know that I am a magnanimous and generous person. I never skimp on rewards for my own people. I will give you armor and weapons, but no fiefdom. You need to make meritorious deeds to obtain this.”
Fabio is a talent, and Lothar currently has too few management talents.
If you want to learn from the Eastern Empire, it is too difficult to implement bureaucracy. After all, the Franks are not Greeks, and the illiteracy rate is too high.
The Knights of the Order are actually a standing army with wages.
But Lothar wanted to reverse course and let this standing army serve as the military commander of his various territories and estates.
Lothar also plans to teach these knights how to train soldiers in the future. To put it bluntly, it is still the same as military training.
The infantry does not need to be elite. If you can fight well and maintain strict discipline, you will be the first-class infantry in the world.
It is unreliable to rely solely on a standing army to fight.
Sooner or later, he would have to recruit the old farmers in his territory to serve in his army.
All he could do was to assign each person a pair of inferior breastplates made of two steel plates pieced together after the output of Malus's blacksmith workshop increased.
Fabio said quickly: "Sir, I am very satisfied to be canonized by you, and I dare not expect to be granted a fief."
