Chapter 120 (3K) Establishment of the Knights The next day, Lear woke up from his sleep and found Millia, who was in dishevel, beside him. For some reason last night, Millia took the initiative to make him feel good. Although she only used her mouth and other parts of her body, it made Lear feel very comfortable. His slowly growing affinity with the Law of the Morning Star also reached 20%, gaining +3 intelligence and +7 mysticism. After getting dressed, Lear looked at Millia, who was obviously awake but still pretending to be asleep. He smiled and walked out the door without exposing the little princess. Ino had prepared breakfast, and after breakfast, Lear went to see Albert. When we arrived at Albert's study, Albert was standing in front of the window, looking at the soldiers doing morning exercises outside. "A day's plan begins in the morning. Now that you are back and ready to inherit Stuart's territory, I hope you won't be too lazy." Albert glanced at Lear who pushed the door open. "I won't fall behind in my training." Li Er nodded. "It's good that you know." Albert nodded, and then he continued, "From now on, I plan to officially integrate you into the Faro Fortress. I have already notified the lords and knights from other territories. They will all gather at the Faro Fortress in a few days. I will arrange for you to meet them then." "They will all be your knight squires in the future. You need to establish your authority and manage them well. At the same time, I hope you can establish a new knight order in the Faro Fortress."
"The Knights?" Lear asked in surprise. "Yes." Albert nodded. "There are currently five major professional knight orders in the Farrow Fortress. In addition to the Mad Lion Knight Order directly under Stuart, there are four smaller knight orders. Their leaders are all outstanding young people." "The Yasen you met before is the leader of the War Tiger Knights. They are responsible for the daily security of the Faro Fortress." "You are my son and the future Lord Stuart. I hope you can form a new order of knights and become the leader of the younger generation." At this point, Albert paused, and then said helplessly: "You know, when you were young, you abandoned the law of war and chose the law of arcane. Many people know this." "Although you have regained your memory and the power of the Law of War, they will still be prejudiced against you. If you can build a strong knight order, you can regain your prestige." Listening to Albert's words, Lear raised his eyebrows. He understood what Albert meant. Although he was the legitimate heir of Stuart, being an heir did not mean that he would be recognized. It would be meaningless for a lord to inherit a territory but not be recognized by his subjects. "I understand, father." Lear nodded. "It's good that you understand. I will take you to the place where the Knights train today. There are many reserve knights there. You can recruit them there or in the fortress on your own." Albert smiled and believed that Lear could do it well. The two of them didn't waste any more time talking and, led by Albert, headed towards the place where the Knights were training. About half an hour later, the carriage arrived at the Triumphal Square. Lear glanced at the tall statue standing in the Triumphal Square. "That's a statue of our ancestor, the first Duke of Stuart." Albert's eyes were filled with reverence. The carriage stopped steadily. At this moment, there was already a group of knights training in the square. All of them were women. They were wearing black armor with red patterns on it. It forms a beautiful landscape. Leading the group was a red-haired female knight, holding a long sword and looking very heroic.
"That's the Red Eagle Knights, one of the four great knight orders I told you about. It's made up entirely of women, and the leader is Letitia Harvey, a mid-level war knight." Albert explained, "Don't underestimate these girls. Apart from Yassen's War Tiger Knights, the Red Eagle Knights are ranked second among the four major knight orders." "Everyone, be serious! We must defeat Yassen in the next knights' confrontation!" The red-haired female knight not far away shouted. She was watching the female knights in training with a serious expression, when suddenly she heard the sound of a carriage moving. She turned her head and saw a carriage with the Stuart lion family emblem slowly approaching. She was startled and immediately asked her knights to stop their actions. "Everyone is standing still!" Albert and Lear had already gotten off the carriage and walked towards the female knight. "Letitia, you and your knights are always so diligent," Albert praised. "Thank you for the compliment, Lord Albert." Letitia blushed and looked at Albert with admiration, just like a little girl looking at her idol. She suddenly noticed the young man standing next to Albert. Seeing how handsome he was, Letitia was stunned for a moment. The young man in front of him was even more handsome than Arsene, and had a natural noble temperament. "Let me introduce him to you. He is Lear, my son." Albert smiled. "Son?" Letitia was completely stunned. When did Lord Albert have a son? As she thought about it, she suddenly remembered what her father had once told her. More than ten years ago, Lord Albert's son left the Faro Fortress and went to the royal city to become a wizard. Could it be that the young man in front of him was the son who left the Faro Fortress more than ten years ago? Letitia guessed. Lear stepped forward and held out his hand, "I'm Lear, nice to meet you." "Letitia." Letitia looked at the handsome Lear in front of her, her cheeks slightly reddened, and she also stretched out her hand. At this time, people came one after another outside Caen Square. When they saw Albert, they all became respectful. Lear turned around and saw knights wearing three other types of armor. It should be the other three knight orders that Albert mentioned. Lear also saw two familiar faces in the crowd, Arsene and Finn, who had blocked his way and tried to arrest him. The numerous members of the Knights Templar lined up one by one and were divided into four groups. Yasen glanced at Lear with a calm expression, and without saying anything, he stood in front of his War Tiger Knights. Hundreds of knights stood in the Triumphal Square. These were not ordinary knights, each of them was a professional in the law of war! The sunlight shines on the armor of these knights, reflecting a dazzling light. Li Er looked at the people in front of him. The Red Eagle Knights, which were composed of women, had the smallest number of people, less than a hundred. Yasen's War Tiger Knights have the largest number of people, about 150. These knights looked at Lear beside Albert with curiosity or doubt. Who was qualified to stand beside the Stuart lord?
Among the crowd, only Arsene and Finn knew Lear's identity. The former had a blank expression, while the latter looked a little embarrassed. Albert stood in front of everyone, his eyes swept across the neatly arranged knights, and his voice was loud and majestic: "My brave knights, I haven't come here to review you for a long time, but now I see that you are in such an orderly manner, I am very satisfied." "You are the knights of the Faro Fortress, in charge of the order of the fortress, and this is what should be done!" the knights shouted, with a hint of heat in their eyes. Albert nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Lear beside him. "I have brought a special guest today, Lear. Let me introduce him to them." Lear stepped forward and smiled at everyone, "I am Lear, Lear Stuart!" As soon as the word Stuart came out, all the knights showed astonishment, especially the members of the Fighting Tiger Knights. They looked at Lear, then at their captain, feeling a little weird. "Yes, he is Lear Stuart, my son!" Albert openly stated Lear's identity. "He is my future successor, and he will fight with you to protect our homeland." "I brought Li Er here today to announce that Li Er will establish a new knight order, join your four major knight orders, and will also participate in the subsequent knight order confrontation." Albert spoke slowly, and the four major knights looked at each other. Li Er was also a little stunned. It was fine to establish a knight order, but what was this knight order fighting against? "Lord Albert, Master Lear, is Master Lear going to establish the Knights Templar by drawing personnel from among us?" Letitia stepped forward and asked. "Of course not. Lear selects people from the reserve knights and also recruits people from the adventurers in the fortress." Albert explained. The captains of the four major knightly orders breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they didn't take people from their own orders, it would be fine. The members of these orders were all trained by them with great effort. "Lord Albert, I have heard of Master Lear. I remember that Master Lear went to the royal city more than ten years ago and changed his job to a mage?" A leader of the Knights Templar stepped out from the crowd and looked at Lear with some doubt. He is the leader of the Ice Crusher Knights, Carlton Ginas. "Lear did go to the royal city more than ten years ago, and he is indeed a wizard." Albert nodded. "Lord Albert, please forgive my disrespect. Master Lear is a wizard. Can he lead a group of knights?" Carlton said uncertainly. Following Carleton's words, everyone began to show doubts. They didn't know about Lear's situation before, but now they know. A wizard wants to form an order of knights? Listening to Carlton's words, Albert was not angry, but looked at Lear, "Some people think you can't lead a knight group well, what do you think?" Lear smiled. He understood what Albert meant. Now was the time to establish his authority. He walked forward and glanced at everyone present. "Whether you can lead a knight group well is not something you can say. Since you don't believe it, any one of you can come up and challenge me." "I don't use magic, I only compete with swordsmanship!" (End of this chapter)
