More than ten years ago, serfs were insignificant to Brittany. In the territory, they were regarded as livestock, property, and food by the knights and lords. Those who are driven, those who are recruited, and those who go to war are killed first, and then it is convenient for the knights to charge from the side or from the back.

But now, the era of change has come quietly under His Majesty Ryan's change. I don't know when it started, but the serfs found that their tax was changed to a fixed tax. The knights have begun to be forced to reluctantly pay attention to the role the serfs played in the war.

The Principality of Bastogne is a principality that pays great attention to tradition. Paying attention to tradition means standing still, changing slowly, and decaying, but paying attention to tradition also means that people here are very proud of their hometown, their own culture and customs. The knights of Stoney have always been proud of their special status in the kingdom. This is the hometown of the first generation of knight king Arthur. This is the place where the Brittany Longxing is. The entire duchy goes up to the Duke of the Red Dragon and down to all the serfs. Both are proud to be Bastognes.

The village of Tyne and Wear is a place that prides itself on its history, ruled by the famous Baron Gascoigne of Tyne and Wear, a household name throughout Bastogne, not because of Gascoigne How brave and virtuous Baron Coyne was, just because the baron was an out-and-out alcoholic, and the local serfs often joked that Mr. Gascoigne had only two states in his life: "drunk and drunk" and "Drunk unconscious".

However, this Baron Gascoigne not only knew how to get drunk, but also knew how to levy tyranny. He regarded Tynewell as a cruel lord who took pleasure in collecting debts and even taxed the poor and unresolved. The serfs resented and Hate him, but the Baron's uncle was an earl vassal under Berhemonde, Duke of the Red Dragon, and Gascoigne had legal right to rule over the domain.

And just today, an old guard, riding a sturdy warhorse, wearing a full uniform and dwarf rune Zhenjin half-body armor, carrying a large backpack and a roll of blankets behind him, returned to his hometown.

His name is Nikolai, and he is a serf family from Bastogne. In the Great Expedition of Eight Peaks, he participated in the battle as a serf infantry of the Principality of Bastogne, and has experienced the Battle of the Giant Tower and the Battle of the Fortress. , the Battle of Iron Rock, the Great Battle of Valaya's Gate, the Titan's Gate Decisive Battle and the Final Battle of Eight Peaks Mountain. In a series of wars, the serf infantry was promoted to the legendary rank in countless hard battles and was promoted to the old guard In the army, he gained the status of a glorious freeman, and in war, he has always been known for his indomitable fear of death and fortitude and tenacity.

He wore the old guard's characteristic dark blue coat, collar, white lapels, breeches, leggings, red epaulettes, cuffs, feathers, and a tall bearskin hat, and when he appeared in front of the villagers, those who were farming and chatting The serfs greeted Nikolai's return almost with the greatest cheers and praise.

After a year and a half, Nikolai saw his family again. His wrinkled parents and two younger brothers and sisters at home. His eldest brother was still outside serving the baron. This military uniform made people in the whole village feel that they couldn't look directly, and many serfs even knelt down and called him "Master".

The illustrious military exploits and endless glory of the Old Guard have spread throughout the kingdom, and their names are now reverberating, and for the serfs, the existence of the Old Guard has given them hope for promotion, which is the only A serf can be promoted to the ascendant of the nobility in large numbers, and these serf-born soldiers have proven their strength time and time again with dazzling victories, and now this army has become the idol of everyone in the kingdom.

As the company commander of the dragoon company, Nicholas finally got a rest. He went home this time to move all his family away. The officers already enjoyed this right.

Nicholas's package contains a lot of captured and gold coins from the war. Near the village is the Baron's Castle in Gascoigne. The Baron's castle is nothing more than a large house with a wall covering an area of ​​no more than 800 square meters. That's all, the two tax collectors appointed by the baron obviously coveted Nikolai's wealth, but looking at his military uniform and medals, as well as the fire gun on his back and the machete on his waist, the tax collector knew this. The idea was tricky, so I had to give up.

From the family's mouth, Nikolai learns that Gascoigne, the knight in their village, is in trouble.

This trouble still comes from His Majesty Ryan, whom he admires and loves. After Ryan returned to Brittany, he announced that if a knight family fails to cultivate a qualified knight within four generations, then the family will be confiscated. Fiefdoms and revocation of noble titles.

Unfortunately, Gascoigne, the lord of the knights, is this kind of thing. In addition to being drunk, his life is nothing but repressive levies and women. Although he has the title of knight, Mr. Gascoigne has never been on a battlefield in his life. Eat and wait to die five.

As soon as he heard this decree, the baron couldn't sit still. He scolded Ryan's New Deal, saying that we nobles of noble blood enjoy some privileges and benefits. Eat your king's bread or open your cellar? Wasn't the entire kingdom brought down by our ancestors with countless efforts and sacrifices? As their descendants, shouldn't we continue to be our masters for granted?

It was useless, he found his uncle, it was useless, and even managed to meet the Duke of Berhemond, but it was useless, in the end, the desperate baron could only decide to find a good opponent to deal with, it happened that the snow had melted in March, Gascoigne organized a team of 200 troops from the baronial area, intending to personally find a beastman war gang or a goblin war gang on the edge of the Arden Forest to destroy, so that he can continue his life of drunkenness.

After drinking more than a dozen bottles of beer and three bottles of wine, and carrying two cases of wine as spares, Gascoigne entered the Arden Forest with an army. It has been several days without any news.

After listening to the description of the family, the old guard dragoon company commander had no choice but to say: "Okay, we will stay here for a few days, and when the baron comes back, we can say hello and then we can leave."

That night, Nikolai rested at home, lying on an uncomfortable wooden bed. The night in Bastogne was very quiet. When he got home, he quickly fell asleep.

In the dream, the old guard dreamed of the lady, she smiled at him, but her eyes were cold and emotionless, and her words were like the ice of winter: "Mr. Nicholas ?"

"Here I am, my lady!" The old guard knelt down in fear and said in the most humble tone: "Please order! My lady."

"Darkness is approaching Tynewell." The goddess's beautiful face and figure were blurred in the mist, and she whispered vague words.

After speaking, the goddess disappeared into the mist.

The next day, Nikolai woke up from his sleep. It took him several minutes to make sure that the dream last night was not fake. The old guard silently took this in his heart. Today is the day of the market. , Tynewell Village is very lively, people come and go on the street, His Majesty Lane's reforms have been greatly affected even the most old-fashioned Bastogne, and now the market has a very rich variety of things, serfs Grain and vegetables, chicken, duck and mutton are sold in the market. Many industrial products such as tools also appear in this village. Although it is not as prosperous as Jien City, the flow of people is quite considerable.

The serfs gathered, haggling, cursing their baron by the way, wishing he never came back.

Nikolai went to the market with his family. His family rejoiced at his return. They bought two chickens, a large piece of lamb chops, and a bucket of Imperial beer, thinking of having a meal today. OK

But before the shopping was done, someone suddenly shouted: "The Beastmen are here! The Beastmen are here!"

"Help! The Beastmen are here!"

"These filthy filth are rushing towards our village!"

"Everyone, run away! Run away!"

All the serfs in the market suddenly dispersed, they let out a cry of fear and fear, and became a mess.

Nikolai loudly signaled everyone to calm down. The old guard kept telling everyone to calm down through roars and movements. He told everyone that the baron castle was not far from here, and the nobles would not watch their villages be destroyed by wild beasts. When people are destroyed, they will definitely send troops.

However, the facts disappointed the old guard.

Dozens of Beastmen formed a small Beastmen war gang, with the heads of Baron Gascoigne and his subordinates hanging on their bodies. These chaotic evil beasts rushed in under the organization of Horned Beasts and Bad Horned Beasts. In the village, half of the village was looted, and they slaughtered innocent people and burned crops.

But there was no response from the baron castle. The defenders who stayed inside closed the gate of the castle and refused to fight. Lady Shelly, the baroness, even ordered that no pariahs be allowed to enter her castle. The chaotic evil beast immediately became so frightened that her legs went weak, and she almost urinated her skirt. She roared sharply: "Don't fight! No one is allowed to go out, these **** beastmen just want to loot! Don't fight with They are hostile, let them grab enough and eat enough, and they will naturally leave! The order goes on, and an arrow is not allowed! Whoever resists will die!"

"Yes!" The castle defenders faithfully carried out the baroness's order. They refused to fight, let the beastmen slaughter the serfs and wreak havoc on the village.

Nikolai witnessed this scene with his own eyes, and a silent indignation and anger burned in the heart of the old guard. He knew that he must not escape and retreat. After becoming the old guard, honor and responsibility surrounded him.

It makes him strong.

inability! waste! Country worms!

"The scum who gave up the knight's oath! These are your people! Baroness, how can you abandon them!" Nicholas rode his horse and rushed under the castle, he shouted: "Quick, open the gates , put the army under my command, and I will deal with the Beastmen!"

"You can't deceive me!" Mrs. Shelly stood up at the city gate: "Don't underestimate the determination of a noble lady! The beastmen are only here to loot, they will leave when they are full and robbed. The gates will not be opened."

"You are not a noble lady at all, you are just a coward and a rat! Asshole of the kingdom!" Nikolai shouted angrily from under the city: "You are not worthy of being a noble at all!"

"Noble?" Mrs. Shelly snorted and replied, "Not every noble lady can wear my corset."

"Scum!" The old guard squeezed the hilt of the machete at his waist. He snorted a few times, and was too lazy to continue the debate with her. On the contrary, he took out a big flag from behind him and planted it in himself. On top of his backpack, riding a warhorse, he rushed back into the village.

Crops were trampled, houses were burned, Beastmen were ravaging the villages, and the serfs, without command and knights, were like scattered sand and had to flee.

And just at this moment, the majestic singing of 's suddenly sounded from the village, and a big flag flew in the flames.

The background is red, white and blue, and the flag is branded with golden iris patterns and the Holy Grail pattern. The old guard dragoon company commander raised the banner and ran around the village on horses, singing the old guard Army song: "People of the kingdom! Wake up! The most critical moment has come!"

Military songs were loud, war horses neighed, and war flags rolled over.

"Look at this flag! People of the kingdom! Unite under my flag and fight to defend the village! Fight to defend our homeland, our property and our food!" Nikolai waved the flag frantically. .

"It's the Old Guard! It's His Majesty's Old Guard!"

"The kingdom has not abandoned us!"

"We fought against these beastmen!"

"Kill them all, kill them all!"

The serfs saw the military flag and the figure of the old guard. The loud military songs and calls made all the serfs burn with angry flames from the bottom of their hearts. The serfs may be cowardly, or they may be low, or they may not have enough fighting power. When their homes were destroyed, food was burned, and their relatives were killed, their fighting power was enough to shock everyone. After an old guard appeared and took the lead, the serfs quickly gathered, holding pitchforks, Hoes, hammers and sticks, howling, assembled under the flag, and Nikolai soon gathered more than two hundred people.

"Follow me! Charge!" Nikolai, the old guard dragoon company commander, assembled the serfs, and he pulled out the machete in his hand: "Come on! For the lady and the king!"

"Kill ah ah, for the lady!"

The assembled people rushed towards the Beastmen.

The Beastman Beastmaster was cutting a four-year-old girl into several pieces and devoured her flesh and blood. At this moment, it heard the voices of charging and the roars of humans, and hurriedly looked up: "Meat... eat Meat...more...meat...eat!"

The rushing human was wearing a tall bearskin hat, multicolored kite feathers, a half-length dwarf Seiko rune gold plate armor, a dark blue cloak and white breeches. Kill all these chaotic bastards!"

The fighting spirit instantly disappeared without a trace, and the figure of the Beastmaster immediately leaned back, and his throat couldn't stop making a fearful voice: "Old...Old...Guardian!"

"d!"

"Can't eat... meat!"

"Iron...Iron stuff...kill...will kill us!"

Seeing Nikolai's outfit, the Beastmen couldn't help but let out a voice of fear, their morale swayed, and many Beastmen kept retreating in fear.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Nikolai charged himself. He charged at the forefront alone. Anger flames burned in the eyes of the old guard. He raised the fire cannon to kill a horned beast, and then rushed to the beastmaster's side to chop with a machete. Next, the beast king in fear was caught off guard, and after fighting with the old guards for a few times, he was in a hurry. , head, left shoulder, and left arm were chopped off together.

Blood splattered all over the place, the wailing continued, and the Beastmaster was killed. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the serfs rushed towards the Beastmen frantically, and overwhelmed the Beastmen whose morale was shaken.

After a battle, the Beastmen war gang that invaded the village lost more than 60%, and the remaining Beastmen fled back to the depths of the forest in embarrassment to find meat that was easier to eat.

The crisis in Tyne and Weir was lifted, and Nikolai killed seven or eight beastmen by himself, but the anger of the old guard did not stop. He brought a large group of armed serfs and planned to find the baroness. Want an explanation.

If you can't even protect your own people, are you still qualified to be a noble?

The serfs, shouting the names of Nicholas, His Majesty the King and the Fairy of the Lake, followed in Nicholas' footsteps.

The castle defenders originally wanted to aim their weapons at Nikolai, but seeing his old guard's attire and the bleeding head of the Beastmaster in his hands, they put away their weapons in shame and fear and opened the way.

Oncoming is Nikolai's questioning.

Why not attack? Why not protect your own people! Aren't these serfs your subjects?

The two sides faced off in the castle. Mrs. Shelly scolded the guards how they could let these untouchables enter her noble castle. She ordered Nikolai to get out immediately, otherwise she would order the guards to use force. In the kingdom of knights, serfs They hurt the nobles, and the whole family sits together.

Just like that, at the gate of the castle, hundreds of people were fighting with swords.

At this moment, the light of the lake god~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The lady appeared from the thick fog in the dazzling light, with a smile on her face, everyone immediately knelt down and greeted the kingdom's The patron saint, the fairy of the lake, offered all her respects.

The fairy in the lake smiled and nodded, she motioned everyone to look up, and then brought the Holy Grail to Nikolai's mouth: "This is what you deserve, you are a warrior, Ryan's old guard, from your body, I saw the virtues that belong to a knight."

"Thank you so much! My lady!" Nikolai had tears in his eyes. He knew why the goddess had dreamed of him. He passed the test and got the right to drink in the Holy Grail. In the eyes of everyone, the old guard Jun lowered his head and took a sip from the Holy Grail.

His life was changed forever, and from today, he is no longer a mortal.

He was the first Holy Grail veteran.

"The glory of the Holy Grail belongs to all people in Brittany." The voice of the fairy in the lake echoed in the castle, and the goddess's words were cold and firm: "The Holy Grail is not proud of the blood, but the blood is proud of the Holy Grail, and the virtue of knighthood It is to protect the family and the country, not to be a moth of the kingdom!"

Mrs. Shelly was shaking, and she fainted on the spot.

It's over, it's over!

The guards all knelt down in front of the goddess, waiting for the hair of the fairy in the lake.

"Nicholas, is this your name?" The goddess didn't bother to look at the noble ladies and the guards. She said warmly to Nikolai, the company commander of the dragoon battalion of the Old Guard, "Is there no surname?"

"No, my lady, I only have my name." Nikolai knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Then can I give you a surname?"

"A great honor!" Nikolai kowtowed again.

A sly smile suddenly appeared on the face of the goddess: "Davu, I give you the surname Davu."

"From today, your name is Nicola Davout!"
