When Soshyan entered, everyone began to applaud enthusiastically, and the applause continued until Soshyan raised his right arm.
His gaze swept across the hall, with a sense of inspection and judgment, without any restraint of a guest.
“Since the death of Archduke Olga, I haven’t fought side by side with the knights of the Dubandrin family for a long time, but I have never underestimated the power of the Dubandrin family. Starting from an encounter with Baron Olga, who is the Blade of Freedom, he has become a very important companion and ally of the Astral Knights. After he rebuilt the Dupont Delin family, he also played a key role in many important battles. In the future The Dupont Delin family will continue to fight side by side with the Astral Knights, using blades and fire to defend the territory of the empire!"
Without too much politeness, Soshyan expressed his attitude very straightforwardly - the Duband Delin family was about to take action.
Mathias immediately pulled out the sword from his waist and raised it toward the dome.
"The swords of House Dubandrin will forever serve the cause of Chapter Master Soshyan Alexey!"
Then the other knights all pulled out their swords and uttered the same oath.
The swords of House Dubondrin will forever serve the cause of Chapter Master Soshyan Alexei!
After that, Soshyan met some important people one by one, such as Mathias's official wife, she is the princess of a kingdom in this world, and today she is wearing a suitably antique dress with copper paneling and braided lace. and a tight-fitting top with a low neckline. Her hair was like a sparkling auburn waterfall, tied up with silver threads and mother-of-pearl threads. Although she was nearly thirty years old, she still looked like a twenty-year-old girl, but with a graceful and luxurious demeanor.
Then there are Mathias's four sons and six daughters. The eldest of them is named Andrea. He is a handsome young man and the eldest son of Mathias's first wife. He has grown up and will be held soon. Knight's rite of passage.
The important thing is that he did leave a good impression on Soshyan, with the shadow of a warrior. Although he is not a warrior yet, Mathias must have invested a lot in him. Soshyan has become a warrior from the calluses on his hands. It can be seen that this young man has probably been holding a sword since he was sensible. Perhaps he has experienced very rigorous training.
Soshyan heard that Mathias was not only not doting on his eldest son, but he was also very strict and even cruel. From the age of 6, he had to leave his mother and could only sleep on a hard bed alone. After the age of 12, he could only take cold water when bathing. , there are only 6 hours of sleep and rest time every day, and the rest of the time is spent studying and training.
Soshyan doesn't really appreciate this kind of torture-like education, but at least it means that Mathias has high hopes for his son——
Thinking of the leniency of other nobles towards their children, Mathias was quite satisfied with Soshyan on this point.
".Andrea."
Hearing Soshyan calling his name, Andrea, wearing mixed armor, walked out from among his younger siblings.
"Chapter Master!"
"I heard that you have the best grades in the Knight Academy."
Andrea seemed very excited, but he tried hard to control his emotions, recalled his father's explanation, and replied in a deep voice:
"This is not enough. A true knight needs to be tempered by blood and fire!"
Soshyan smiled and turned to look at Mathias.
"High King, you have a wonderful son."
Mathias said very sincerely:
"Chapter Commander, the dog's qualification ceremony will be held in two days. I hope you can come and visit."
After thinking for a moment, Soshyan nodded.
"Two days later. No problem. How many knights are qualified this time?"
Although he was talking to Mathias, Soshyan was observing other people with his peripheral vision. It was obvious that some knights, such as Oful, seemed a little unhappy, while Baris remained calm, and the others Most of them showed false happiness, while some frowned.
Soshyan knew that he had sent a political signal, but he made the decision from a practical point of view. If Andrea was indeed an excellent knight, then he would be qualified as the heir to the High King.
Even if you are promoting talents, you do not necessarily have to avoid relatives.
But since he supports the other party, the other party must also pay a certain price.
"This time there are 45 knights going through the qualifying ceremony."
After hearing what Mathias said, Soshyan looked at Olga's adopted sons, and then at the large group of ladies in the audience seats who were wearing heavy makeup and shaking folding fans or covering their faces with fans, and said softly:
"You all seem to be really diligent."
Then he changed the subject.
"Recently, I had a chat with Director Bangura of Ulan Huda about the mutual obligations between the Dubandlin family and the Forging World. I have promised Director Bangura to send a knight detachment to assist Ulan Huda. Exploring the fleet's exploration activities, High King Mathias, I hope Duke Ofor will lead this expedition."
Soshyan was more of an order than a discussion. Mathias turned to look at Ofuer, who immediately came to Soshyan and knelt down on one knee.
"I am willing to destroy all enemies of mankind with this sword!"
"Um."
Soshyan nodded and looked at Mathias again.
"Recently, Chapter Master Arash of the White Templars is about to go to the Nessen system, and will go to the Alliance of Tribulation for a rotation after a while. High King Mathias, the Storm Star Territory is now very turbulent, and a large number of aliens are encroaching on the territory of the empire. The Torment Alliance is currently the largest Astartes alliance in the Storm Star Territory. Requests for help from many worlds will be sent directly to the Scar of Victory. However, the Torment Alliance is still limited in strength. I hope you can lead the remaining knights of the family to follow the Arash Chapter. Go to the Scar of Victory and help him deal with various unexpected wars and events that he may encounter."
After speaking, he added another sentence.
"I will find a trustworthy and suitable person for you to handle the daily administrative affairs of the planet, but we will talk about this later."
After listening to this, Mathias replied without thinking:
"Of course, this is my honor and the honor of the Dubandlin family, Chapter Master Soshyan."
Soshyan then listened to a series of reports from Mathias, mainly about the development of various aspects of the planet and the combat readiness of the Knight family. Now the Dupont Delin family and the Undead Army are in a situation where there are only a few people, but it is good. The knights are still very fertile, and their children have grown up in batches. It won't be long before all the knight mechas will have their own drivers, even though they are all young.
After listening to the report, Soshyan expressed that he wanted to see the situation of the trainee knights at the Knight Academy, because he learned from Bangura that in order to train the spear knights, the Dubandrin family also specially trained the knights from Ulan Huda. A batch of training mechas have been customized and will be conducted with very classical lance competition training.
Hearing what Soshyan said, Mathias, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately said that the Knight Academy was ready.
"Huh? Are you really here?"
Serre, who was urgently putting on the composite armor, was still in disbelief.
The chapter leader of the Astral Knights is really coming to their academy!
He thought he would miss this grand day before, because the college did not let them go home to attend the welcome ceremony with their parents, but kept them in the college and said they would be ready at any time.
I didn’t expect that this preparation was actually done right!
