I have a shelter

Horse hooves and fur iron boots stepped on the snow, and they kept moving westward in the mist and drifting snowflakes.

Two carriages carrying fodder and tools creaked in the snow, and wolves shuttled through the forest, leaving footprints on this snowy road.

Baron Gavi exhaled a breath of white air, tightened his red cloak that he had specially asked the tailor to make, and continued to talk to the adult beside him.

"My ore is exchanged from the channels in the west, and the girl you mentioned is indeed true."

Along the way, Baron Gavi has gradually explained the whole story.

From George's own judgment, those who have been trading slaves with Gavi are all several lords in the west. And Baron Gavi does not seem to have a direct connection with the lady.

Population trading is indeed too common in this period. And if there is an opportunity to exchange for iron, Gavi will naturally not let it go. As for how they will "live", Baron Gavi, as a lord, doesn't want to care.

Speaking of this, Baron Gavi looked at the knights around George - these people originally belonged to the lords, but now on this road, they all followed George. Of course, the battle robes they are wearing now are still the lords' - including his good nephew!

But this is even more weird

Especially the divine rune swords made of "Uvatos steel" on the waists of those knights, and the brand new divine pattern armor on their bodies, all made him jealous!

He has never seen such exquisite armor, the ridges and dense groups and patterns on it, which can't be made by people who are not masters. I'm afraid only real nobles can afford it!

But why does it look a little familiar?

He doesn't understand why the bishop took out such a good thing now. But he doesn't want to know, nor does he want to ask.

He doesn't even plan to scold his nephew in private.

Because he thought more deeply - this is a good thing, just like someone in the family serves in the royal court.

And if he can also be fortunate enough to become the temple guardian knight beside him, Gavi believes that he will definitely be willing. Because this is an extremely glorious thing!

After all, from those "rules" and agreements, he can also see that the ambition of this bishop is by no means to rebuild the diocese

What's more, in the Duke's letter, it is revealed that he has absolute trust in this bishop

In fact, the lords also have their own thoughts.

Since the patrol team was established, they have slowly realized that something is wrong. However, when they all reacted, it was too late - this bishop took away everything from them and left them only a fig leaf!

But the guys who can survive until now are all smart people. Especially after seeing these knights again today, these lords gradually changed from red faces, humiliation and anger, and dejection at the beginning to thoughtfulness - they found that they were not at the same level as this young man!

The one who robbed them was not a powerful new noble, nor a new force in the doomsday. Instead, he was entrusted with an important task by the Church and the Duke to guard a region!

Land, wealth, status, honor, this bishop who represented the Church and the Duke could give them all.

How could these downtrodden lords compare with him?

Gradually, someone looked at Baron Gavi who was talking happily with the lord, and suddenly realized something. Then he called the two knights around him, and came to George's side with faster horses.

These nobles were very sociable, and within a few minutes, the three of them started talking freely.

Martin and others were naturally sensible. Although they all despised these lords in their hearts, they still pulled Gale among them, slowed down their horses, gave up their positions and retreated to the back.

So, all the knights slowly rode their horses and followed George and the two lords.

Not long after, those lonely lords suddenly seemed to have discovered something, and gradually rode their horses to the front - so the formation began to change, as if seven lords, leading the knights, guarded the bishop.

Although it was a bit like forcing myself to find a fig leaf, it looked much more comfortable. The lords who had some weird faces and were dejected gradually raised their heads and chests.

Indeed, compared with the bishop, they are not on the same level. But if you join him and become a part of him, your level will be raised. .

To be honest, the robes with the family crests of various families that these knights wore today were specially made by George. It was to disgust these people.

So the guy who had been walking in the front naturally saw all these scenes and nodded secretly: 'It's worthy of being a group of guys who are good at escaping. They are all very sensible. I originally planned to pick out a chicken to kill'

Whether it is the Black Lake or the ranch in the north, it is not too far from here - only more than a hundred miles. But they only walked one-third of the way on this first day.

This is not only because they did not bring many horses this time, but also because the road was not very peaceful after crossing the river.

Compared to before the demon-slaying war, the fog that filled the surroundings was obviously much smaller, but the number of monsters had indeed not decreased much.

A long time ago, George discovered that many monsters came from the west. But it was not until today that he stepped into this place that he saw with his own eyes how bad the situation here was.

On the way, George and his party passed many villages and manors, but the people living in them all had pairs of ice-blue eyes. There are not only many zombies, but also many mutants.

In addition to the huge bodies of the "bull", there are some monsters with deformed limbs that explode corrosive plasma after death, or monsters as agile as monkeys, with hands and feet like blades.

There is also another kind of monster that looks thin and petite, but the wounds left by ordinary swords and knives will heal in an instant.

They often hide in the corpses and do not look conspicuous. But once they appear, they will make people panic.

But this group of teams is very different from before. Not only is the Word of the Rune already standard, but more than 20 people can use the Holy Fire freely.

So there were no casualties along the way - in fact, except for a few unlucky lords, the knights didn't even have any scars on their armor.

After cleaning up a small farm, more than a hundred people settled down in this dilapidated house with leaks everywhere.

After sweeping out the snow and debris, some knights dismantled the furniture and sofas and blocked the holes. The other part of the people fed the more than 20 horses.

Before, because even the people had nothing to eat, only a few lords with better territories would occasionally feed the precious war horses some carrots and beans.

This made many war horses relatively thin, and after many people put on heavy armor, the war horses were a little overwhelmed.

But after the winter harvest this year, the situation changed greatly. Not only can the carrots and beans be fed freely, but there are also a lot of harvested oats that can be fed to these horses - indeed, they eat better than people.

And this time, George specially brought a large cart - the ones carried by each horse were almost enough for the next few days, so these were used for other purposes.

After a busy period, it was completely dark. Bonfires and fire pits rose in the fog. The wolves that had eaten their fill outside also came back.

The knights sat together or on the ground, snuggling with the wolves, drinking and warming themselves, and chatting. George and the lords were surrounded by the fire and the knights in the middle.

"Tomorrow we will see the forest I marked, but we can't go deep into it, because it is the cemetery built by the Black Pearl Earl, so after we cross a section of the road, we have to detour to the mangrove swamp. Be careful here, because if you haven't been there, you will definitely be swallowed by the swamp."

Gale talked in the firelight, and the lords listened carefully and occasionally asked a few questions.

Unlike George, these older people had participated in many wars before the fog came. They often studied maps and routes very clearly. And from their insights and knowledge, George also quietly learned a lot.

'Marching and fighting are indeed not easy things. ’

After the lords had understood, the atmosphere gradually relaxed.

The merchants had been to many places, and the lords had a lot of experience. In the conversations about all sorts of things, everyone could tell some stories.

I don’t know who started it first, and brought the topic to the former knights of the valley, and the lords, including the three barons, all became disappointed.

However, the most talked about were the nobles who only had the title of knight.

“Every knight should rely on a real hero to exist” “My lord is dead, and Carol and I are all alone (forgetting the younger brothers who followed them)” “If it weren’t for the lord’s entrustment and the people on the fiefdom, I would have followed him long ago” “Even so, I feel guilty, I don’t know who I should be loyal to anymore”

The four lords who were knights gradually got deeper and deeper into the topic. Gavi and other barons looked at these guys who suddenly got excited today, and suddenly looked at George quietly.

However, the ‘Lord of the Dawn’ was playing with the silver fox in his hand (which Martin found in the manor), and was slightly distracted by the bonfire not far away - he seemed to be very focused.

“The Honorable Lord George William Austin, do you think we can be called a knight?”

When he came back to his senses, he looked at Carol’s burning eyes in front of him and heard this sentence.

“Sir, Mr. Carol, you can be called a real knight.” George looked at the timid, greedy, and shameless man in front of him, and his words sounded solemn and sincere: “You are brave, generous, honest, and have an upright heart. When I saw you, I confirmed this!”

As soon as the voice fell, Carol suddenly knelt on one knee, raised his long sword with both hands, and held it above his head.

And the three lords around him also knelt down one by one.

George was stunned for a long time and didn’t know why he suddenly knelt down, and why, in addition to this person, the other three did the same.

But after listening to the oaths taken by the three of them and the burning eyes of the three barons and many knights in the room, he suddenly understood that he was not only a bishop, but also a baron.

This time, the knighthood was just like the first time in the tavern.

The long sword drawn from the fire and the preaching he said were also consistent with the previous routine.

When the knights without their lords knelt down one by one, Gavi and the other three barons drank the wine in their glasses and watched everything in front of them silently. Their lips trembled, and they wanted to say, "Barons are also a kind of knights."
