Frank Moonlight Mushroom, the eldest son of Earl Stephen, is a warm and humorous person with a romantic air. He is one of Kroeber's good friends.

"Frank? Aren't you out patrolling the territory?"

Krober was surprised. When the two met a few days ago, they had not yet set out for patrol. Now, it is impossible to patrol all the territories in just a few days.

"Stop talking! The Grand Duke has launched the war mobilization. My father has been concentrating on preparing for the breakthrough these past few years, leaving all the matters of the territory, big and small, on my shoulders. When I heard the news of the war, I hurried back to the territory to start preparations."

Frank smiled helplessly. As a young heir to the earldom, he had too much to bear.

"I haven't even mentioned you yet. The war is about to begin. Why are you here with me instead of preparing for battle in your territory?"

Frank asked doubtfully.

So Kroeber told Frank truthfully about his plan to buy a war horse.

"What? Baron Kral won't even provide you with weapons and equipment? You're his descendant after all. Going into battle empty-handed is tantamount to committing suicide."

After all, he was the heir of a great noble family, and Frank was only surprised for a moment. After all, the family affection between nobles was far less important than interests, and the second son was often one of the least favored people in the family.

Logically speaking, Krober should not be in this group. He is extremely talented. Logically speaking, most aristocratic families would help such a talented second son as long as the situation is not too difficult.

At least basic weapons, equipment and breathing techniques should be complete.

After all, basic weapons and equipment only cost one or two hundred gold coins at most, which is just a small amount even for a baron's family.

After all, this is someone else's family affair. Although Frank has a good relationship with Kroeber, he has no intention of interfering in the Oatmeal family's affairs for him.

But this did not stop him from showing goodwill to Krober. When he learned that the other party was planning to come to the castle to buy a warhorse, he took the initiative to take Krober to the stables of the Knights' active warhorses to choose.

The knights under Earl Stephen are called the Knights of the Red Flame. They are famous for their heavy full-body armor made of red copper, hence the name Knights of the Red Flame.

The Knights Templar has a full complement of 500 people, and the lowest-ranking knights are apprentice knights. The Knight Commander and Deputy Knight Commander of the Knights Templar are usually official knights.

Earl Stephen has his own stables in his territory, so he is very generous in supplying horses to the Knights. Not only does he have special public horses and training horses, but he can also afford to retire a batch of war horses every year for civilian use or sell them to various small nobles.

Frank planned to take Kroeber to choose a training horse that was in service.

This kind of training horse is of the same breed as the war horse, except that the training horse is a war horse that has just reached adulthood or is about to reach adulthood. After it has adapted to being ridden by a knight, it will be directly placed in the Knights' Order to serve.

Soon, Krober set his sights on a brown warhorse on the training ground.

Judging from its size, it should be a newly grown warhorse, with a shoulder height of about 1.3 meters, which is not very tall but meets the standard.

Its hair is smooth and shiny, its limbs are strong and powerful, and its hooves have obviously been trimmed by a professional, as can be seen from the steady sound it makes when stepping on the ground.

Its tail is long and flowing, fluttering with the speed of the gallop, like a flag flying freely, adding a sense of agility to it.

Frank looked at the warhorse that Krober was pointing at and couldn't help but smile.

"You're quite good at choosing. This is a red-blooded colt that just reached adulthood at the beginning of the year. It has a certain amount of low-level magical beast blood in it, making it one of the most suitable breeds for galloping on the battlefield."

"It just so happens that this red-blooded colt doesn't have an owner yet. Since you're willing to buy it, you can give it a name. As for the price... twenty gold coins shouldn't be too much."

Twenty gold coins is certainly not excessive. If it were an ordinary warhorse, this price would certainly be expensive, but for a warhorse with Warcraft blood in its body, this price is simply a bargain.

After selling the poor horse he brought with him, Krober collected twenty gold coins and successfully bought the red-blooded colt. He also spent some money to buy items such as the saddle and reins.

Riding on the warhorse, Krober couldn't help but smile as he felt the touch of the mount under him.

"In that case, I will call you Yaoguang. I hope that the two of us can successfully gain honor and glory through this war."

It is both a hope for the mount and a requirement for oneself.

"I must fight for my place in this war!"

Seeing that Krober got the mount of his choice, Frank, as his friend, was naturally happy for him.

I had planned to invite Krober to attend the dinner party held in the castle tonight, but Krober had to go buy a set of armor for himself, so I had no choice but to refuse.

"Well, my friend, how could I stop a knight with such a bright future from pursuing his own path? I wish you success. Please remember that our friendship is as eternal and dazzling as gold, unfazed by wind, rain, thunder, or fire."

To be honest, Frank is indeed a friend worth making close friends with.

Although they also have the common problems among aristocrats - interests and stereotypes.

But this did not hinder the deep relationship between the two of them, and Frank did help Krober a lot, whether it was material help or other intangible help.

"Oh, by the way, Krober, if you want to buy yourself a set of armor, why don't you ask your mother's Golden Rose family for help? For them, a set of armor is just a small expense. After all, they are a famously wealthy family."
