From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider

While Klober broke through to become a formal knight and enjoyed the praise from everyone, Baron Kral, who was far away in Deepwater Territory, encountered a problem.

"Hasn't the caravan of the Golden Rose Family arrived yet? Didn't they say they would arrive in the next few days?"

Baron Kral, sitting on a chair, tapped the table impatiently. His slightly heavy breathing and serious expression showed that Kral was in a state of irritability at the moment.

It's a long story. Baron Kral was still lying comfortably in the castle, and Baron Etepis from the neighboring territory suddenly sent a message saying that he had broken through to the realm of the Great Knight.

Although the strength of the Great Knight could not open the door to the Viscount's title for Baron Etepis, it could also allow him to have absolute authority in the title of Baron.

Baron Etepis is now forty years old, and the life span of a Great Knight is as long as two hundred to three hundred years. He has enough time to break through the Earth Knight and accumulate military exploits to become a glorious Viscount.

Unfortunately, the relationship between Baron Kral and Baron Etepis is not good, and can even be called very bad.

The reason is very simple, it is just a conflict of interest.

Kral's Deepwater Territory is the weakest in the entire principality, and even some knight estates with deep foundation are stronger than him.

Originally, Deepwater Territory still had an old lord who dared to fight and was strong among the formal knights, that is, Klober's grandfather, Baron Kral's father.

But since the old baron left, the strength of Deepwater Territory has plummeted.

Weak strength means low status, and Baron Kral likes to rely on the name of the Golden Rose Family from which his wife came to support himself.

You know, the Earl's family has several or even dozens of Earth Knights as the backbone, and the name of the Golden Rose can be said to be extremely powerful among the Baron's families with the strength of the Great Knights at most.

Let's talk about the strength division here.

Apprentice Knight Formal Knight Great Knight Earth Knight Sky Knight Titled Knight (Phantom Knight) Dragon Knight

Generally, nobles with the strength of a formal knight can create their own family. Weaker ones usually have the title of knight, and the fiefdom is usually a manor or village.

Stronger formal knights or families with multiple formal knights can be promoted to the baron title by accumulating military merits and obtain a large fiefdom.

As for the strength of a great knight, as long as you are willing to be loyal, you will start as a baron, and the area of ​​the fiefdom can increase with the growth of military merits.

Earth Knights are generally dominated by Viscount families. Only those with a deep foundation and more than five Earth Knights in the family can become Earl families.

The requirements for Marquis families are very simple, with a Sky Knight in charge.

As for the Titled Knights, they are also mainly Marquis families. Only by becoming a Dragon Knight can they have the basis for promotion to the Duke family.

Baron Etepis is now at the top of the Baron family. Not only is he a great knight, but he also has at least three official knights loyal to him. It can be said that his strength far exceeds that of Deepwater Territory.

The Baron family with a great knight has the right to use military merits to expand its territory.

The territories of both parties are adjacent to each other, and they have deep resentment.

If Baron Etepis uses military merits to annex part of Deepwater Territory in this war, Baron Klar can't even resist and can only cede the territory obediently.

The fiefdom of the Moonlight Mushroom family is so large in total, and the annexation between barons is also allowed by various nobles. As long as the land owned by a baron family does not exceed the upper limit of the area required by his title, it can theoretically annex the territories of other lords on a large scale.

So Baron Kral is particularly anxious now. The territory of Baron Etepis is slightly larger than that of Deepwater Territory, but it is still nearly a quarter away from the land area of ​​the baron's cap. If he really uses military merit to annex it, then he will lose a quarter of the territory.

His only hope now is that the caravan of the Golden Rose Family will come to Deepwater Territory as soon as possible and bring back a letter for the Golden Rose Family to find a way to mediate.

Baron Kral, who is anxious, did not notice at all that he and even the entire Deepwater Territory are probably not as important as Krober himself who has already broken through in the eyes of the Golden Rose Family.

And Baron Adam, who he is thinking about, is now holding a banquet to celebrate for Krober.

Hall of Moonlight Castle

At this time, everyone is celebrating the birth of a new official knight. Everyone present is just a member of the baron's family. Having a great knight in the family is the best, and the official knight is the ceiling they can reach.

Baron Adam and Frank are fine, just happy for Krober.

Krober, who had just broken through, was naturally very proud. Although he still restrained himself, he reduced the number of times he pushed the wine in the face of everyone's toasts and drank a lot.

The banquet lasted for a whole day before everyone returned to their rooms in a daze.

Krober, who had drunk a lot of wine, originally wanted to return to his room, but was stopped by Baron Adam just as he was about to get up.

He asked the servant to bring the sobering soup, and Krober, who had sobered up for a while in his seat, followed Adam back to the luxurious room.

As soon as he sat down, Baron Adam went straight to the point.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough to the official knight, Krober, but I think you have heard a lot of these today, so I want to tell you something else."

After that, he took out the signed agreement and handed it to Krober.

Krober couldn't help but smile.

"Uncle Adam, don't worry. Since the agreement has been signed, I will naturally not break the contract. I will go to the Deepwater Territory with you to hold the ceremony tomorrow, and then we will go back to the family directly."

Seeing Krober who happily agreed, Baron Adam also slowly exhaled.

He was really afraid that after Krober's successful breakthrough, he would get hot-headed and break the contract as if he was wandering. In this way, not only would he be punished by his family, but Krober himself might not be able to get along in the aristocratic circle of the Golden Duchy.

It seems that Klober has not been dazzled by the joy of the breakthrough, which is good!

"Since there is no problem, you should go back and rest early. I will ask the servant to call you in your room before setting off tomorrow."

Krober nodded and immediately stood up to leave.

Watching Krober leave, Baron Adam stopped him.

"By the way, since you have broken through to become an official knight, I, as your uncle, will naturally give you a gift. Frank told me before that you lacked a set of armor, so I had someone prepare a set for you and put it in your room. , you can try it when you go back and see if it’s suitable.”

Krober was stunned for a moment, this feeling made him a little uncomfortable.

He suppressed the discomfort and nodded.

"OK."

After saying that, he left the room directly.

And Baron Adam just watched Krober's back go away, and never came back to his senses.

"Lilith... my favorite sister... Krober is an excellent child. I'm afraid I don't need to help you with the things you asked me to do before you were alive."

Baron Adam's eyes were filled with a thin layer of mist. All the nobles in the principality knew that Adam and Lilith were the most similar in age and had the closest relationship.

It is said that after learning about Baron Krall's seamless connection after Lilith's death, he was furious and prepared to lead his troops to the Deep Water Territory to cut Baron Krall into pieces.

Fortunately, Baron Adam was stopped by Daniel Golden Rose, Krober's grandfather, before he could even walk out of the door.

Earl Daniel is used to seeing strong winds and waves, and has long developed the ability to remain calm. Although he is equally sad about the tragedy of his beloved daughter, he also knows that he cannot be too cruel, otherwise the Moonlight Mushroom family will not be willing, and his grandson may not be willing. He will be mistreated.

After discussions within the family, it gradually turned into a resource transport caravan that Krober now conducts once a month.

And because of his feelings for his sister, Baron Adam volunteered to become the leader of this caravan.

When Krober returned to the room, he immediately saw the armor placed on his bed.

It was a set of Warcraft leather armor engraved with complex patterns. Krober touched it and found that its flexibility and hardness were far stronger than armor made by low-level Warcraft.

"This is armor made from the fur of an intermediate level monster!"

Krober couldn't help but exclaimed.

Intermediate monsters correspond to the strength of human knights. The armor made of their furs is not only more flexible and hard, but also excellent in the conduction of fighting spirit.

If nothing else, this set of leather armor can also be used by the Great Knight of Klobo Breakthrough.

Stroking the leather armor, Krober was also filled with pride.

Weapons, armor, war horses, and external equipment are ready.

He also broke through to become an official knight.

The next thing to do is to show his style on the battlefield and obtain a knighthood for military merit, even if it is only the lowest knighthood.

With longing for the future, Krober gradually fell into sleep.

Sir Foster, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene.

A night of silence.

In the early morning, Krober got up by himself without anyone calling him. In the past two days, his work and rest had been disrupted a lot due to breakthroughs and banquets. Under normal circumstances, he would get up early in the morning and start morning exercises.

After a few days of indulgence, Krober continued to pick up the practice and continued to persevere.

What he plans to practice today is the fighting spirit combat skills that can only be performed by formal knights, also known as fighting skills.

Fighting skills are some kind of explosive skills that are produced by the user's fighting spirit in the body through a certain vibration frequency and operation route, coupled with the coordination of the body's bones and muscles.

Fighting skills are often synonymous with strength. Once a knight wants to use fighting skills, it means that he has to use his strongest strength.

Fighting skills are also divided into three types, defensive fighting skills, offensive fighting skills and auxiliary fighting skills.

As the name suggests, defensive fighting skills can greatly enhance the user's defense capabilities. Some powerful fighting skills can even defend against attacks by people who are stronger than themselves.

Attack fighting skills are a means to greatly enhance one's own attack power. Attack fighting skills can often burst out an attack power higher than the user's own level, which is often the key to a knight turning defeat into victory.

Auxiliary fighting skills are about strengthening other parts of the body. For example, the most popular Eagle Eye fighting skill uses fighting spirit to strengthen the user's eyes, which can greatly enhance vision. For knights who use bows and arrows, Eagle Eye is The best fighting skills for them.

The first fighting skill that Krober plans to learn is an attacking fighting skill.
