Chapter 78: Chapter 78: The Guardian

"Master, why did you just leave after giving the gift, why didn't you talk to Miss Artoria more, because of Thoram?" Arthur asked suspiciously.

"It would be nice to have that little lion. Do you think that Arturia likes to drink tea and have fun like other noble ladies? A qualified knight is not only for practicing martial arts fighting spirit, but also equestrian and military skills are essential .”

Aslan was very serious, and at the same time glanced at Kruse.

"She's younger than you, and when she's your age, she'll be the seventh-rank Grand Knight Leader."

Kruse's face flushed instantly.

He felt the malice in Aslan's words.

"Breakthrough from the sixth level to the seventh level is a hurdle, which is related to whether the battle energy can be released. It is not so easy to break through."

Facing Kruse's rebuttal, Aslan only said one sentence.

"She's younger than you!"

Kreuzer is only twenty years old this year, not only in the Kingdom of Cleveland, but even in Sino Continent, he belongs to the top level of genius, where he has been despised like this.

"What's more, the knight still has various courses to master, want to..."

"She's younger than you!"

Kreuzer just shut up. He felt that if he continued to chat with Aslan, he couldn't help but draw his sword.

Temporary large square in the town of Merlo.

This place was designated by Aslan as Merlot Square, covering an area of ​​400,000 square meters, which can hold a grand banquet for one million people.

When such a large space was arranged, Essien was very dissatisfied and angry at the beginning, because he felt that the waste was too wasteful.

Today there are 500 Melo troops, 500 city defense troops, 200 heavily armored guard corps, and more than a thousand members of the construction corps have also changed into clean military uniforms, and the tools in the past have been replaced with sharp weapons.

More than 2,000 soldiers stood in the middle of Nuo Da's square, with a murderous aura and awe-inspiring power.

In particular, the strongest Melo Army and the Heavy Guard Corps have performed so well during this period that Wilson has to admit that the combat effectiveness of professional soldiers far exceeds that of ordinary militiamen.

The heavy armored guards are composed entirely of barbarians. Their strong physique and three-layer armor of a hundred catties can be called humanoid tanks on the battlefield. Even if they collide with knights head-on, they are not afraid at all. elite.

Guardian is a name specially bestowed by Aslan.

"Lianning, do you know the meaning of a guard?"

Wilson is in charge of the swearing-in meeting this time. This is Aslan's order. Black June is approaching, and he can't get away. At the same time, he also looks down on the six lords of the Billy area.

Such an enemy does not need him to take action himself.

Le Anning looked at the other companions standing beside him with a blank face, and their expressions were roughly the same.

"Guard! It's the guard, the guard! The warrior! For the warrior, the warrior!"

Will believed in the good script prepared by Aslan.

"So the heavy guard is the strongest shield in our Melo area, and it is our duty to protect the integrity of the people and territory in the Melo area."

"The knight will become the strongest spear and sword in the hands of the lord, opening up the territory for the lord. The guard is the strongest armor and shield in the hands of the lord, guarding every inch of the mountains and rivers and every people."

Following Wilson's proclamation, Leaning's breathing couldn't help but quicken.

The barbarians watching around were so excited that they were about to jump up, and the people of Melo Town were also excited.

"Do you know your responsibilities now?" Gao Wen stood up at the right time and shouted loudly.

"Defend your homeland to the death! Defend Melo to the death."

Leaning shouted loudly.

Afterwards, all the heavily armored guards also shouted loudly. None of the barbarians expected that the lord would give them such a high honor.

"Alfonso led five hundred city defense troops to garrison Wood Fort, which is the only way to the town of Melo. Even if the whole army dies, you will not be allowed to take half a step back. The brothers of the city defense army will remember it for me. Behind you are your wives and children." Gao Wen stood in front of the high platform holding the hilt of his sword in both hands.

Alfonso immediately dropped to one knee.

"I would like to swear to stay at Fort Wood to the death. Even if I fight to the last drop of blood, I will never take half a step back."

The five hundred city defense army brothers also knelt down on one knee.

Gao Wen nodded, and looked at the Construction Corps next to him.

"Gut! Willick obeys!"

"The subordinates are here!"

Gut and Willick immediately stepped forward and knelt down on one knee.

"The lord has something to tell you! You two are in charge of looking after the house and looking after it for me. When I don't want to come back, the house is gone."

After reading this sentence with a strange expression on his face, Gao Wen taught the two of them the letter written by Aslan.

The dissatisfaction in the hearts of the two who were unable to go out with the army disappeared immediately after hearing Gao Wen's words.

"The subordinates will swear to the death to look after the family for the lord."

"Okay!" Gao Wen handed the letter to the two of them. Seeing the high morale of the two, he admired the lord's methods in his heart.

"Let's go!"

Gao Wen roared angrily and raised the long sword in his hand.

With a roar, the army turned around and walked out of Melo town.

More than 2,000 people turned around at the same time, and their steps were uniform. The iron blood and chill made the people of Melo feel unspeakably at ease.

They firmly believe that their army can definitely defeat the enemy.

The children who had been arranged in advance rushed over one after another, and gave the wild flowers prepared in their hands to the soldiers going out. Before leaving, they gave a salute to all the soldiers.

At this moment, all the soldiers held the weapons in their hands tightly. It was unknown who returned the salute first, and all the soldiers also raised their hands to salute. This was the military salute set by Aslan.

It is convenient for soldiers to salute. After all, it is not easy to kneel down in armor.

"All of them! Return the gift!" Gawain roared angrily.

With a bang, the uniform military salute echoed throughout the square, and everyone's blood was boiling with excitement.

Xierjin held on to Irene desperately, afraid that if she let go, the girl would rush out to find her father.

In the past, Alfonso played very often, and Hirkin was very worried that he would never come back. At the same time, he also felt an indescribable sense of guilt.

Because every time Alfonso returns with a full load, it means that countless families are destroyed.

But today Hirkin was different, with an indescribable pride in his heart.

"Mom, I want to be a soldier when I grow up!"

Erin said very seriously.

Before Xie Jin could speak, he heard the same thing from the child next to him.

"I want to be a soldier when I grow up, and defend my homeland with the lord."

Such voices kept coming and going. If the children were just talking, those teenagers who had just grown up would go to the City Lord's Mansion in groups of three or four. They wanted to serve as soldiers and defend their home and country.

In the past, it was because of the high salaries of the soldiers. Now they are doing it for that honor and belief.

Wilson and Essien looked at the scene in front of them, and their eyes turned red.

People's hearts are available! The rise of the Merlot region is just around the corner.
