The Knight's Journey to the Empire

The mother of His Royal Highness Prince Leo II is named Amelissa, and she is the princess consort of His Majesty the King of Midburg!

Among the noble ladies in Schindler City, Princess Amelia is well-known for her love of taking care of herself!

But alas, time is unforgiving!

Because recently, Princess Amelia complained to Prince Leo II:

"My skin is becoming looser and looser. It has lost its former luster and elasticity. Even its soft and smooth touch is gone... Your father has begun to dislike me!"

She was once favored by His Majesty the King, but now, due to her fading beauty, she has encountered the King's vague and vague cold treatment.

Because his Majesty the King now hasn't done that to her for a long time!

You know, they are not even fifty years old now!

You haven't reached the age where you can't move!

And watching His Majesty the King becoming increasingly cold and uninterested in himself!

Princess Amelia was extremely anxious, fearing that she would lose her husband's love and favor.

Therefore, at this moment, she is in urgent need of a magical treasure that can restore her youthful beauty and win back the man's heart!

This piece of floral soap with charming aroma may not be able to restore Princess Amelissa's youth, but it can have a certain effect, which is okay!

Thinking of this, His Royal Highness Prince Leo II began to have some ideas in his mind!

If I could get support from my mother because of this matter, that would be great!

..............................

Time passed quietly, but His Royal Highness Prince Leo II was already immersed in the bath, as if he had forgotten the existence of time.

For His Royal Highness Prince Leo II, this bath was undoubtedly the longest one he had ever taken since he could remember!

Because during this period, he also ordered the servants to add hot water three times for the ultimate comfort.

However, facts have proved that such a carefully prepared bath is indeed extremely satisfying!

When Prince Leo II stepped out of the bathroom in his gorgeous clothes, the valet who had been waiting respectfully at the door could not help but exclaimed with joy: "Prince, the fragrance you exude is really charming!"

"Yes, that's true. I feel the same way!" His Royal Highness Prince Leo II raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a happy smile.

Because at this moment, his mood is open and full of joy!

He had never expected that just a simple bath could bring him such a wonderful feeling because of a floral soap!

Then, His Royal Highness Prince Leo II began to issue instructions: "Go and tell Odyssey Wiggins to bring Connino to see me tomorrow!"

"Yes, sir! Your Highness, I will convey the message immediately!" After receiving the order, the personal servant turned around and left.

His Royal Highness Prince Leo II walked towards the bedroom happily, ready to have a good rest.

The effects of this floral soap are so magical, beautiful and practical!

If it can be successfully put into mass production, it will undoubtedly become an extremely rare, high-end and luxurious commodity!

Therefore, its production technology must be taken back as soon as possible and mastered in our own hands!

And this time, we have to send someone we trust to coordinate the transaction. We can't mess things up like last time!

Also, the little baron mentioned in his letter that the production cost of this floral soap is quite low!

From this point of view, he obviously hopes to get more compensation!

Well, it wouldn't hurt to give him a little more money!

After all, we will be able to make a profit in the end.

However, it really has to be said that the luck of this little baron named Sauron is really excellent!

Back then, he was a deserter on the western battlefield, but later he captured the eldest son of the enemy country by accident, and in the blink of an eye he became a hero of the entire kingdom!

What was even more amazing this time was that he actually discovered two extremely valuable manufacturing processes in succession, and easily earned huge wealth that others might never be able to achieve in their entire lives!

What good luck is really enviable!

December 4877, 12 in the Knight Continent calendar, White Bear Territory of Ganise County.

Starting from October 10st, Soran used the primary body strengthening magic potion he bought to assist the knights of the White Bear Knights in their knight training.

So in the past month, Soran almost took the lead and led the knights of the White Bear Knights to launch an incredibly intense, devilish "hell-style training".

The training time starts at 7 o'clock in the morning every day and ends at 8 o'clock when the night falls completely!

Except for a short hour at noon when they can take a break, eat and rest, the rest of the time is filled with endless training and drills without a single break.

They are either receiving training or on their way to the training ground.

The subjects of this training are so numerous, complex, diverse and comprehensive!

Start with the most fundamental training of strength, speed and endurance;

Gradually progress to the slightly tricky sword fighting skills duel, bow and arrow shooting practice, axe throwing and javelin throwing training;

Then challenge higher difficulty such as knight charge assault, knight kill enemy, knight formation insertion, etc.

Even the most difficult two-player and multiplayer competitions...

There are many more examples like this!

Anyway, any training subject that Soren, Doug Johnson and Ramos can think of!

No matter what, as long as it is reasonable and feasible, it is all within the scope of this special training!

What made Soran feel extremely gratified and proud was that although this training was extremely arduous and challenging, no one chose to back down!

Every knight of the White Bear Knights gritted their teeth, stubbornly held on to their original intentions, and followed the team's pace closely. No one fell behind or gave up.

They faced numerous difficulties and tests with unyielding perseverance and fearless courage;

They used practical actions to interpret their persistent pursuit of powerful strength and chivalry.

This belief in unity and moving forward courageously is like a fiercely burning flame!

Not only does it burn brightly in their hearts, providing them with an inexhaustible source of motivation, it also illuminates the entire training ground, warming and inspiring each other to keep moving forward.

They support each other, make progress together, and will establish the deepest comradeship and brotherhood in this brutal training!

To this end, Soran specially formulated a ranking and reward mechanism to once again fuel the White Bear Knights' training enthusiasm!

Because this special ranking will be directly related to their salary level!

..............................

Chapter 257 Military Salary Levels

Now, with the economic development of White Bear Territory, more and more wealth is accumulated in the territory’s finances!

Therefore, the salaries of territory officials and soldiers will also increase!

Here we take territory guard as an example!

When the Territory Guard was first established, the monthly salary of an ordinary soldier was only three silver coins!

And this amount of money can only barely support the basic living expenses of a family of five for one month!

But it is very different now!

Because he is still an ordinary soldier in the territory guard, the salary he can get every month has more than doubled compared to the past - a full ten silver coins every month!

You know, this salary level is definitely considered a very high military salary compared to the private armies of the nobles in the entire Kingdom of Midburg!

Perhaps the private armies of other noble territories can only have such salary levels in wartime!

But if it is a wartime state, the salary level of White Bear’s army will definitely increase!

As the saying goes: You get what you pay for!

There must be a reason why Sauron gave them such high salaries!

After all, Sauron has always been implementing the "elite military policy" of striving for excellence and preferring to have fewer but less qualified troops!

Therefore, the White Bear Territory Guard, whether in terms of overall quality or combat capability...

If compared with other territory armies, there is no doubt that the Territory Guard is definitely an elite force!

Not only that, the weapons and equipment they hold or wear are definitely much better in quality than those of other noble private armies!

Therefore, the grassroots knights of the White Bear Knights, although most of them are ordinary civilians of ordinary origins!

But the profession of knight has greatly improved their status and position.

Nowadays, if they were walking on the streets of White Bear Territory, ordinary citizens would have to respectfully call them "Sir Knight!"

Therefore, based on their strength which is more elite than that of the territory guards, the salary these knights can receive is far more than what can be measured by a few silver coins!

The minimum monthly salary that Soran offered them was as high as one gold coin!

This is a gap of nearly five times compared to ordinary territory guard members.

(One gold coin is equal to 50 silver coins, and one silver coin is equal to 50 copper coins)

Of course, for a professional knight, this salary level can only be considered medium.

The main reason is that their weapons, equipment and war horses are all provided and maintained by Lord Sauron!

And if they prepare these by themselves, then the salary level will definitely be higher!

The assessment ranking results formulated by Soran this time divided the salary levels of all knights into three levels:

The ten members who ranked last could only receive a salary of one gold coin;

The ten people in the middle position will receive a salary of three gold coins;

The top ten with the strongest strength can get at least five gold coins as salary!

Because the third place winner can get a salary of seven gold coins!

The runner-up after that will receive a salary of nine gold coins;

The final champion will receive a salary of twelve gold coins!

This salary amount is already half of the salary for the captain of the White Bear Knights!

The salary standard that Soran gave to the captain of the White Bear Knights started at 20 gold coins!

20 gold coins!

This is a very exciting number!

However, it should be noted that the salary standard given by Sauron is not fixed, but is closely related to personal strength.

Of course, there are other influencing factors as well!

Take Ramos as an example. He showed the strength of reaching the peak level of the Knight profession, which was really eye-catching.

But because of this, his salary is much higher than that of Sad, who is also an entry-level knight, reaching 50 gold coins!

In comparison, although Allen's strength is slightly better than THAAD, he has not yet broken through to the professional level of an entry-level knight.

Therefore, his salary standard can only be the same as THAAD, which is 25 gold coins.

Finally, there is Doug Johnson, the deputy leader of the Knights Templar with a professional rank of Brave Knight!

As one of the core figures of the entire White Bear Territory, Doug Johnson shoulders important responsibilities and missions, and not just those of the White Bear Knights!

Therefore, Soran generously offered a high salary of 220 gold coins per month to recognize his outstanding contributions and leadership.

Such treatment is undoubtedly a full affirmation of Doug Johnson's ability!

At the same time, it also inspires other members to constantly work hard to improve themselves and pursue higher achievements!

……

This special ranking and reward mechanism formulated by Soran is closely related to the vital interests of the knights.

So to a certain extent, it can be said that the enthusiasm of the knights to participate in training has been greatly increased!

After all, no one dislikes golden coins, and no one complains about having too few gold coins in their hands!

Therefore, an assessment is held and the ranking is updated every ten days. The changes are so frequent that they almost reach the level of "changes in every exam"!

This shows that although the knights' training in the past month was extremely difficult and very hard, the results achieved were quite significant.

Unfortunately, up to now, no one has been able to successfully advance to the entry-level knight career level!

But in reality, there is nothing to be regretful about this!

Think about Soran back then. He had a high talent for cultivation and was studying hard at the Donbass Knight Academy.

But even with such a unique advantage, he still needed to spend two or three full years to break through to the professional level of an entry-level knight!

What's more, most people nowadays are slightly lacking in natural capital, and because of poverty and other reasons, they are born with deficiencies and need to make up for the shortfall!

In addition, the advancement from an ordinary person to an entry-level knight is an important dividing line in the knight's training.

If there is no special adventure, this watershed is not so easy to cross!

Therefore, even with the help of magic potions, it is not so easy to break through!

Otherwise, the number of official knights wouldn't be so small!

……

After a month of devilish training, the strength of the White Bear Knights has made a qualitative leap!

Although this knightly order was established not long ago, they now have their own spiritual core: loyalty, fearlessness, protection, and honor!

Therefore, even if there are enemies ten times their size ahead of them, they still dare to charge forward with fearlessness and courage!

And maintain a relatively complete charge formation!

Such a knight group, placed in a battlefield where most of the army consists of infantry and most of them have no armor defense, is simply a powerful life harvester!

Cruelly harvesting the blooming blood-red flowers of life!
