Chapter 16 (1/2)
It is not impossible for the lowest class of poor people to produce great knights, but this possibility is very low. Even 99% of them are cultivated by aristocratic Lords.
It's not about talent, it's about money.
But even if a person is extremely gifted, he has a poor family and can't even eat a full meal all day long. Where can he train his skills? If the children of poor families do not work, they will be scolded if they go out to play. This is not a joke, but a true portrayal of poverty.
There is a famous saying in Ashan land that if you want to be a qualified knight, you must have a good appetite.
Every knight is a famous King of stomachs, and a great knight is even more so. A meal of half a sheep and ten catties of food is a common thing for them. Otherwise, how do you think their monstrous physique comes from?
Meditation and Qi refining?
This is just a joke. Even the Warlocks with blood power will not lead the outside energy into their bodies. It is a kind of murder, a kind of murder to themselves.
Of course, this may be because they are not in a state of being able to do such extraordinary things. They can only temper themselves in the most secular way.
Why once you become a knight, a loyal Lord will give the manor?
Creating wealth is nonsense. Only the production and supply of a manor can keep the knight at its peak. A small manor composed of ten families can barely make ends meet for a knight. It does not only mean the knight's food and drink, but also includes the knight's horses and two retinues, as well as simple weapons and armor maintenance.
As for the creation of new weapons and armor, knights need to find their own way. Many Knights' armor can be inherited from their father, grandfather, great grandfather and great great grandfather.
To say that weapons and armor are heirloom, with a glorious history, is all bullshit to cajole people. It is not because there is no extra money to build new weapons and armor.
If you have this ability, Sun Tzu won't create new ones, eliminate the changes of the times, and the progress of forging technology. Those old antiques have no idea how many times they have been repaired and transformed. The sharpness and protection of these antiques are not as good as the tailor-made fit, even if it is a high-tech transformation.
I didn't see those powerful nobles always put their heirloom in the castle for people to look at. They wore brand-new armor tailored with the latest technology.
There are always exceptions. If these antiques are old enough to be handed down from the Andes Empire 300 years ago and even from the Elven empire a thousand years ago, it would be a completely different situation.
Because this kind of armor usually has some peculiar ability, small to enhance the user's certain ability, big enough to be able to affect the victory or defeat of a battle.
The most typical representative of this is the sword of courage held by the Lancelot family of the royal family of Byron League. It is said that this sword has magic power. Even the weakest people in ordinary times will burst out with the courage comparable to the elite veterans under the aura of this sword.
In all wars dominated by the Lancelot royal family, as long as this sword appears in the battlefield, it has never been defeated. Therefore, this sword, also known as the sword of victory, has become one of the biggest symbols of the Lancelot royal family.
It is said that this sword was made by Evans, the most famous forging master of the elves empire. He liked to use a leaf of the tree of life as his signature mark. He only forged seven weapons in his life.
Each of them has left a brilliant chapter in history, but the six have disappeared in the long history. Only this sword of courage has been handed down by mistake.
To be a knight is always a distant dream for those poor children.
To return to the truth, ajel, the great knight, was not born in the poor, but in the aristocratic family. The manyujun led a family with a name, which can be traced back to the kind at the beginning of the founding of Byron Federation.
He has been a hereditary Baron since he was born. Although he is only the lowest hereditary Baron, he is also the person who has the power of life and death of tens of thousands of people in a city and county. If he had not been restricted by the guardianship oath easily made when he was young and frivolous, he would not have appeared here - at least not in the form of this kind of play.
If the barbarians, who were in charge of thousands or even tens of thousands of people, would not have been hiding their heads and tails as they were before.
Now that it has been revealed, ajar no longer intends to hide his ears and steal the bell. To master the slave hunting team, which is on the verge of collapse, is naturally his first priority. If he wants to take Batley, who is seriously injured, to leave the mountain alive, he still needs the help of these people.
As for the slave hunting soldier who had just questioned him, before he had finished his words, he became the chicken who made an example to others. It is not important whether his words are reasonable or not. It is important that they obey. Absolute force is the simplest way to make them obey.
Every great knight is an excellent grass-roots officer. Even if he doesn't understand the military array, he must make up for this shortcoming when he becomes a great knight.
In the ever-changing battlefield, the power of one person is limited, not to mention the great knights. Even those champion Knights dare not rush alone.Countless cruel facts have proved that the death rate of great knights with their own personal guards is far lower than that of great Knights without their own guards.
Naturally, ajar, who was born into a noble family and received a good education from childhood, is not too bad. He has been able to rectify a team of only 120 or 30 people.
The first thing for the soldiers to gather together is naturally to collect the wounded, and to make a sword for the Andes mountain people who are still breathing. Ajar just stopped the slave hunting soldier. In addition to making an example to others, he simply didn't like the kind of torture and killing to vent his emotions. However, he might not be prepared to let these Andes mountain people escape. It is definitely a matter of public anger, wisdom It's not.
