The Strongest Knight

"Teacher, are you looking for me?"

Pushing open the door of Fielding's study, Gray walked in.

After three months of getting along, Gray has completely identified with this teacher, and he has more respect than fear for this kind elder.

"Yes, you have made rapid progress. It is time for you to share some of the duties of Birch Castle."

Fielding stood up and went to the map hanging on the side of the study.

It was a huge map of the Kingdom of Dru, with thousands of particularly conspicuous red dots on the tens of millions of square kilometers of land.

These red dots are the locations of the castles of every knight in the Kingdom of Dru who has been awarded the honor of knighthood.

The knight castles spread across the country make it impossible for unstable factors from the outside world to provoke Drew, and they have no intention of entering the Red Dot Network to seek trouble.

In the lower left corner of the national map, there is a separate frame, which contains a detailed enlarged map of the area near Birch Fort.

The Kingdom of Dru is vast and rich in resources, and thousands of knight castles are not enough to perfectly fill the land of the Kingdom of Dru.

It can be seen that the nearest knight's castle to Birch Castle is more than 100 kilometers away.

Fielding placed his finger on the red dot representing Birchfort, then moved it to the left to a white dot representing a city.

"Just now, my Knight's Medal received a rescue request from the Stoneclaw City Communication Stone. Dozens of orc slaves in Stoneclaw City colluded to start a riot, causing dozens of casualties. Now they have split into several groups and are fleeing to the surrounding areas."

Gray's mind flashed with the face of the beast slave he had seen once before, and he carefully asked, "Teacher, what do you mean?"

Fielding looked at Gray with some amusement. Ever since he suffered a loss at the hands of the Blood Demon last time, this kid Gray has become more and more cautious.

"There has been unrest in the Central Region recently, and many thieves have come here. Your brothers are all out on missions, so you have to take action this time. How is it? Is that okay?"

Gray thought for a moment and said cautiously, "Isn't it difficult for me to deal with dozens of beast slaves alone?"

"I will send thirty cavalrymen to go with you." Fielding glared at Gray impatiently. Being cautious is a good thing, but going too far and losing courage is not good. After all, he is a knight apprentice who has condensed three knight souls. It is time to go out and fight more.

"Hehe, no problem. Let Garu go with me. He should have consolidated his strength almost enough." Gray was certainly not really scared. In fact, he was eager to fight in his heart to test his own strength.

"As long as he is willing." Fielding did not refuse.

Garu condensed the soul of a knight a month ago and chose to join Birch Castle like Gray, becoming Fielding's eleventh disciple and Gray's junior brother.

The rest of the knight trainees, including the red-haired Plan, are still training hard, and most of them may have no hope of condensing the knight soul.

After the six-month term is up, they will seek other ways out, either joining the army or becoming mercenaries. Having stayed in Birch Castle, they can always find a good job.

"Okay, then I'll go find Garu now." Gray nodded.

"Wait, take this with you. Thirty cavalrymen are already waiting at the training ground. You can go there and set off directly. If you set off now, you should be able to reach Stoneclaw City by noon."

"Those orc slaves are very valuable. Whether to kill or capture them, you'd better listen to the parties involved before making a decision to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"I understand." Gray nodded and took the identity token representing the Knight of Birch Castle handed over by Fielding.

Gray left Fielding's study and went straight to Garou's house. At this time, this guy must be practicing sword in his garden.

In the study, Gray left, and the butler Yin, who had been watching the conversation between the master and the apprentice with a smile, spoke up: "Sir, are you really confident that Gray can carry out the mission alone?"

"In three months, Gray has condensed three knight souls. Even if the blood demon's energy erosion is a blessing in disguise, Gray's own knight talent is definitely one in a million! And his demon class's comprehension of the control of knight energy... If anything unexpected happens..."

In the end, Gray did not choose to suppress the cohesion of the knight's soul.

But fortunately, the blood demon's fallen energy eroded and catalyzed the ancient blood in his body, so it didn't seem so abrupt.

It’s not that there have been no such examples, but more people have directly become degenerates.

Now Fielding, Roland and the others are all lucky men.

Fielding raised his two white eyebrows that were already drooping, making them look even kinder. "Silver, you are getting more confused as you get older. Of course, I will let my old friend take care of you. Besides, even if Gray's knightly talent is outstanding, what kind of knight is he if he can't fight?"

"Well, I can't compare to the knight's wisdom." Yin didn't say anything more.

Fielding opened the side door of the study, and outside was a large rooftop.

There is a large cage ten meters wide on the rooftop with a roof. There is a soft blanket inside the cage. A huge black creature is taking a nap comfortably inside.

"It's already over sixty years old, right? But its aura is getting stronger day by day!" Yin said enviously.

"Yeah, I don't know what kind of breed the old fellow is. We are all old, but it seems to be getting younger and younger. I guess when I die, it can continue to look after the Birch Castle for me." Fielding said with emotion.

The life span of an official knight is generally over 150 years old, and Fielding is already over 120 years old this year. Unknowingly, Birch Castle has stood on this land for more than 60 years.

"Sir, you have nurtured it so well." Silver added.

The two people's chattering finally woke up the shadow in the cage, and it let out a dissatisfied cry.

"Old friend, please take care of my tenth disciple Gray for me. He will lead the cavalry out of the city later. Yes, the one with blond hair. You remember the smell of his Knight's Soul, right?"

A few minutes later, a black shadow rose into the sky and hid deep in the clouds.

......

"Orc riot?!"

After hearing what Gray said, Garu picked up the knight's heavy armor hanging on the wall and started putting it on without saying a word.

Well, it’s still the Garu I know, a ruthless man who doesn’t talk much.

Gray nodded secretly. It would take quite a while to put on the knight suit, so he went back to his room to put on the suit.

Two knight apprentices, carrying lances on their backs and heavy swords on their waists, gathered in the hall of the main castle and then went to the stables together.

Gray would take time out every day to cultivate his relationship with his mount Redback. Over time, he had almost achieved the state of unity between man and horse.

But Garu, who had just gotten his mount but hadn't had time to tame it, was in trouble.

Seeing that Garou had barely subdued his white Drugo horse through brute force, Gray took the lead and rushed to the training ground.

After presenting the token given by Fielding, the thirty cavalrymen lined up in an orderly manner and saluted.

Gray left from the western exit of Birch Fort with a group of cavalry.
