Li Ang has not yet explained to Dalion about Kavala. After all, Li Ang is not sure whether Kavala will appear in the Pande Continent.
The enemy we must deal with immediately is Three Prophets.
It may be difficult for Dalion to understand why the former Supreme King of Pendor became a scourge, but he at least knows that Three Prophets is undoubtedly a scourge.
Kewen Village was massacred, and all the friendly villagers and kind-hearted nobles were killed. This was an unsolvable blood feud for Dalion and Charles.
Killing Three Prophets has become the most important thing at the moment.
Therefore, almost the entire station came out in full force.
Now Griffin Knights is considered a quite strong armed force. Dalion and Charles actually brought out more than 500 people from the station.
But there are only forty Griffin Knight among them.
There are more than two hundred gryphon attendants-these attendants are all cavalry and look quite tough.
There are more than two hundred other soldiers, all carrying longbows and swords and shields. They appear to be fully developed comprehensive soldiers similar to Red Arrow Longbowmen. But in fact, these are recruits who have not yet reached the standard of attendants, and some of them were just recruited from Drunkards' Brigade.
Dalion also introduced his right-hand assistants to Li Ang, Griffin Knights Knight Commander, Sir Azriel.
Azrael's father was a maester - that is, a scholar who faithfully recorded history, a respected historian.
However, his father died suddenly ten years ago in Lion City, so Azrael became a blacksmith apprentice and studied in the largest blacksmith shop in Lion City for several years.
But a few years ago, people from Lion Knight Order suddenly came to his door and wanted to take back his father's bachelor's medal, and also tried to steal the manuscripts left by his father.
It was only then that Azrael learned that his mother kept a manuscript that his father had recorded. The manuscript recorded all kinds of dirty things Lion Knight Order had done in cooperation with Three Prophets after it was rebuilt by Ulrich ten years ago - including many massacres.
His mother refused to hand over the manuscript, resulting in a conflict and Lion Knight killed his mother.
Azrael is not the kind of person who takes things easy. He killed that Lion Knight and then fled.
In the process of escaping, Azrael has been exposing the darkness of Lion Knight everywhere.
More than a year ago, by chance, he met Sir Poldemar, the adoptive father of Dalion, on Goddess Mountain.
Subsequently, Azrael became an important helper of Dalion.
In fact, the greatest help that Azrael brought to Dalion was not his martial arts and knowledge, but his blacksmithing skills - in more than a year, he forged the ebony mines in the ruins into weapons.
The most powerful thing about Griffin Knights now is actually their equipment - this is a force with all members equipped with Ebony Sword!
Even the archers under Charles are equipped with short swords made of ebony.
In addition, every Griffin Knight is a top warrior.
Because becoming Griffin Knight requires not aristocratic status, but numerous tests.
Generally speaking, it is somewhat similar to the selection process experienced by the female soldiers of Amy, but more stringent.
First of all, you must swear allegiance to Kingdom of Pendor. Although Kingdom of Pendor does not have a true king at this time, you must still swear to fight for the people of Pande. This is basically renunciation from all other countries.
Then, you need to seek recognition and recommendation from an Griffin Knight, such as Griffin Knight like Azrael.
This kind of introduction is different from ordinary introductions. The introducer is jointly and severally liable - if there is a problem with the person introduced by Azrael, such as committing a crime or rebelling, then Azrael will have to be reduced to a servant and re-examined, and he must first personally kill the sinner he introduced before he can be qualified for re-examination.
But similarly, if no one has been introduced to meet the standard of a reserve knight within two years, then this Griffin Knight will also be demoted to a squire - he cannot fail to recommend, and he cannot introduce randomly. It is impossible to find someone to top up the number.
Relatives and friends are not easy to use either - it is actually not easy to meet the preparatory knight standards of Griffin Knights. Recommending people who cannot meet the requirements is tantamount to cheating yourself.
Since you have vowed to fight for Pendor, you must really work hard. This will force Griffin Knights to take the initiative to find those promising young people and teach their skills seriously.
The Knights do not raise idlers, nor do they need loners who cannot communicate. Active inheritance is the true inheritance.
After newcomers are introduced to the team, they need to undergo rigorous training for a long time to ensure that they have sufficient martial arts and courage, and are familiar with military orders.
In fact, after doing all this, you can only become a gryphon attendant.
In fact, the requirements for attendants are not low, and many people cannot meet the requirements after a year of training...
After that, there is the assessment content of becoming a knight.
You must first ensure that you are literate and can write all common phrases and military reports completely, and then pass the more stringent riding and swordsmanship tests - at least you must defeat Dalion, who fights with only one hand.
Only after three Griffin Knights prove that their daily performance and conduct are up to standard will they be considered apprentice knights.
Finally, if you want to become a glorious Griffin Knight, you have to go into actual combat to find and kill some villains who have committed atrocities - that is, you must personally solve problems for the Pande people.
For example, protect the village, eliminate the heretics, bring back the head of the Jatu War Rider, save the village threatened by bandits, or wipe out a group of bandits - of course, killing a certain Lion Knight will do.
The difficulty of these things is of course different, but each goal has corresponding 'points'. Only when you accumulate a certain number of points in two years can you become Griffin Knight. Overall, it seems very fair.
This is the inheritance of Griffin Knights. Sir Poldemar, the adoptive father of Dalion, has completely preserved this inheritance.
Although it seems troublesome and difficult, at least it is fair - much fairer than those knighthood titles that can be easily obtained by relying on noble status. Regardless of whether you were a farmer or a beggar, as long as you can do it, everyone will be treated equally.
Of course, it is precisely because it is not easy that only forty people have become Griffin Knight in two years.
Baudess is very interested in Griffin Knights's inheritance method. She feels that if she can regain her throne, she will also learn from this method in the future to build her Ficavia knight.
She also believes that nobles and knights should be distinguished. Nobles can rely on reincarnation, but knights must rely on their ability.
Of course, the knight in her eyes must be a female knight...
Soon afterwards, Baudess saw the prototype of the female knight in her mind.
Kewen Village center.
A group of people are holding a funeral at Countess's manor.
The funeral was arranged very much like that, but it looked a bit gloomy, and there seemed to be a lot of people attending the funeral - it looked like there must have been thousands of people.
Moreover, these people surrounded an army of about 400 people.
All the members of that army were women, and the leader was a girl wearing a crown, wearing white light armor, and riding a tall horse.
"I didn't expect that I could lure her here so easily..."
Cersi, who looked like a little girl, smiled and waved. The men in black robes all lifted their hoods and drew out their weapons.
The female soldiers also drew their weapons, but did not move rashly - the number of people surrounding them was probably ten times their number.
"Her Majesty Sonad, nice to see you! You'd better go have a cup of tea with me to avoid any murders happening here..."
Media pointed at the winery behind her.
"A murder?... Hasn't it already happened here?"
The girl with the crown said calmly, then rode back a few steps towards her troops. "What are you going to do? This prophet..."
"Haha... lovely little girl, Amy, do you think there is Magic Suppression Tower here to protect you? Humph..."
Media laughed twice, and then she let out a dull roar, "Buzz..."
"Oops! Speed up! Three Prophets is already casting a spell!"
Li Ang and Griffin Knights were on the west side of the village and had not yet entered, but his perception was too strong now and he easily heard the roar.
Griffin Knight and the attendants began to gallop, and Baudess also drew her throwing spear.
Arriving at the entrance of the village, I happened to see two troops confronting each other from a distance. Li Ang caught sight of the girl wearing a crown and light armor.
But...
That's not Amy!
That's Alina!
Li Ang is so familiar with these girls that he can tell something is wrong at a glance - Amy doesn't have such big breasts...
Moreover, there were two other people in front of Alina. Although they were both wearing female explorer's deer helmets, Li Ang could easily tell them apart. One was Wendy and the other was Vendathir!
At this time, Media's face changed drastically. After letting out that roar, she even fell down under the horse.
Probably because of the excessive pain, her entire face was completely distorted.
"Why?! Why is this place also banned from demons?!"
Li Ang heard this puzzled question from a distance, and also recognized the voice of Media.
"I let you run away at Penn last year, and I won't let you run away again today..."
Wendy glanced back. She shouldn't be able to see Li Ang from her position, but she must have heard the sound of horse hooves.
Then, she took off her helmet, threw it at Media, then raised her sword and charged. "Let's go! Kill her!"
Those purple eyes look like they are glowing!
Several of the followers around Media raised their shields, probably trying to block the helmet, but the helmet suddenly exploded before it came into contact with the shield!
After a "boom", several followers covered their faces and fell to the ground - helmet fragments covered their faces.
Following this explosion, all the female warriors behind Wendy rushed forward!
Facing an enemy that was ten times their size and surrounded them, they actually charged directly!
"Griffin Knights, charge at that little girl--that's an evil witch!"
Li Ang commanded loudly, and he saw a ten-year-old girl riding a horse holding a sword and trying to kill someone - he was not sure who it was, but in any case, if a ten-year-old child appeared on the battlefield, he was definitely not a normal person...
Moreover, that kid is dealing with Wendy!
In fact, there is no need to greet Li Ang, but anyone with an average IQ can realize that there is something wrong with that little girl, so Baudess and Dalion have already rushed over.
At this time, a large army rushed in from the south of the village, led by Godric.
There are also troops in action in the north. They are a large group of tough men, all holding hammers or swords, and their huge silver gauntlets are shining.
In the east of the village, a troop with black armor and two black horns on their helmets also began to charge.
"Traitor, am I right? Three Prophets intends to occupy Queen Sonade's body!"
Alistair shouted to another big black man while driving his horse forward.
That's Jocelyn.
"Of course I believe you, but can you stop calling me a traitor..."
Jocelyn was still dressed as the devil at this time, with heavy armor all over his body and riding a majestic war beast. Only this time he did not raise a flag, but held his two-handed sword in one hand.
"Hmph... But you are a traitor... No matter what the reason is, it is shameful to betray the Knights!"
Alistair snorted and drove the horse to run faster.
His voice now is a bit sharp, and his humming is somewhat strange.
"Humph, but now you are a traitor too!"
Jocelyn also snorted twice in return.
To be honest, Three Prophets had really bad luck in this operation.
They originally planned to ambush the army at Kewen, then hold a funeral, send people to lure Amy over, and then let Media take over Amy's body.
But they did not expect that their people did not meet Amy at Long River Town - Amy believed that Li Ang was back and left Long River Town with a group of cavalry, probably intending to greet him in the direction of Yalagar.
After all, the information obtained was that Li Ang was buying horses at Yalagar.
This period of time is relatively chaotic, and dangers are likely to occur on the road. It is necessary to greet them. Even if they do not encounter them, they can still use this team of cavalry to clear possible obstacles along the way...
Therefore, it was Alina who received the news at Long River Town that Three Prophets sent someone to announce that 'Countess of Kewen Village has passed away'.
Alina and Countess were not familiar with each other, so she was not in a hurry and planned to wait until Amy came back.
Later, Amy did not come back, and Alistair came first.
Alistair plans to defect to Amy, and the certificate of surrender he brought is Three Prophets's plan - the letter Three Prophets intercepted before by Sir Roland was actually sent to him.
The riot of Balanli at that time also had some credit to Dusk Knight Order.
Originally, Three Prophets's whole plan was to control the nobles of Balanli, create refugee riots, and attack Lion City.
If Lion City takes in refugees, then create Fallen One in the city and destroy Magic Suppression Tower during the chaos.
After Magic Suppression Tower is destroyed, Anna can try to occupy Amy's body.
If Three Prophets successfully establishes their Divine Kingdom, then Dusk Knight Order can become the National Knights.
But what I didn't expect was that Amy actually evacuated Lion City while they were launching a riot...
This unexpected change caught Three Prophets a little unprepared.
At that time, Alistair felt that either the plan had been exposed, or that Amy had some expert guidance. He originally wanted to evacuate, but failed to persuade Dexian people to return to the army and counterattack Xingar, so he simply came to Amy.
After all, what Alistair wants is to make contributions, not to follow the heretical path to darkness. In his opinion, Amy who gives up Lion City and returns to Long River Town actually has more opportunities.
Long River Town Others certainly didn't like Alistair very much, but Jocelyn planned to give him a chance, so he let Alistair meet Alina.
Jocelyn has been in charge of training troops at Long River Town, and this Bannerlord has a very high reputation now.
After Alina learned about Three Prophets's original plan, she keenly felt that there might be something fishy about Kewen Village. Wendy happened to be at Long River Town at that time, so she found Wendy for help.
Wendy was actually at Long River Town to wait for Sir Roland - she owed Alaric a Dragon Tear, and she Even if Alaric is saved, Sir Roland's battle cry can purify the spells used by evil spirits. This is what Wendy saw when he fought against Aigrem.
It's just that Wendy didn't bring any troops, and only Vendathir was with her--Vendathir was working as a bodyguard for Wendy. Wendy had been running around for more than a year, and Vendathir was very worried.
Wendy and Alina decided to let Alina dress up as Amy to check out the situation. Wendy and Vendathir protection - mainly because Wendy's eyes are too obvious, otherwise it might be better to let Wendy pretend to be Amy.
After dealing with Aigrem, Wendy already knew that she would definitely not be corrupted by heretics, and she felt a little guilty about her early withdrawal of troops, which caused Media to run away. She planned to cooperate with Alina and take this opportunity to kill Media.
Of course, at that time, no one thought that Media could use the remains of Oswood to run away - that piece of flesh didn't even have legs, so no one knew how Media escaped.
Mainly because at that time everyone was busy searching for Li Ang, and no one cared about Media.
Wendy and Alina actually brought most of Long River Town's troops, but the first ones to enter the village were only Amy's personal guards.
Those more than 400 female soldiers are Amy's Griffin Claws, all female explorers.
Alina's plan is that if Three Prophets sets an ambush at Kewen, then he will set up an ambush in reverse and try to kill all Three Prophets's troops.
In order to try to annihilate Three Prophets's troops, she herself can take some risks - she has always been willing to take risks.
If Amy was present, she would probably not be allowed to make such a decision, but Amy happened to be away...
So, Alina dressed up as Amy and used himself as bait, intending to lure out all the ambush troops of Three Prophets, and then let the troops outside the village attack from all directions, trying to annihilate every one left!
Now Three Prophets's ambush has indeed been lured out, and Media looks like he has been attacked by magic. So, after hearing the sound of horse hooves, Wendy tried to capture the thief first.
With Vendathir by your side, Wendy is not afraid of anyone.
Speaking of which, Vendathir is indeed a humanoid monster... Although it is a bit inappropriate to use this word to describe a beautiful lady, I really can't find a more suitable word...
Probably Wendy had said hello in advance. When Vendathir dealt with Three Prophets's men this time, she did not use her stabbing swordsmanship of listening to the sound to identify the position. Instead, she slashed on horseback - she held two long knives in both hands, and everywhere she passed were corpses with two sections of body and head!
Some people say that when the knife is extremely fast, all you can see is the moonlight.
But realistically, that might not be fast enough...
The fastest knife can't see any light at all, not even the afterimage - it's like there is nothing in the hand!
Vendathir This was the case at this moment. The knife in her hand could not be seen at all. She could only be seen rushing at the front, and the enemies around her fell all the way like blades of grass cut by a lawnmower.
However, Wendy's judgment when launching the charge was actually a little flawed - the sound of horse hooves she heard was not the large troops deployed by Alina outside the village, but the Griffin Knights brought by Li Ang...
