Chapter 303 Twenty-two Legends (4)
At this moment, Adams' palace was far more crowded than usual.
After a series of operations by Dolores, the number of troops that Holt can currently control is very limited, with only 30,000 Royal Guards, which are the troops directly under Holt's command.
It is also the most elite force in the entire Granville Kingdom.
Their military pay was always paid on time, their armor and weapons were replaced on time, and they never felt any grievance. Dolores never thought of recruiting these people.
Today, these 30,000 guards are all stationed in the palace.
In addition, there are three thousand royal magic legions.
There are three thousand magicians. Apart from the Granville Magicians Association, this is definitely the place with the largest number of magicians.
Moreover, unlike ordinary magicians who are constantly pursuing stronger magic power and more powerful magic, these three thousand military magicians also focus on the coordination of battle formations.
The magic they mastered was not at all fancy; their goal was always to achieve the greatest results with the least amount of magic power.
The coordination between them is perfect. For example, one team uses fire magic, and the other team uses wind magic. The wind helps the fire, making it burn more fiercely. One team uses lightning magic, and the other team uses water magic. Lightning can spread along with the water flow and cover a larger area.
Perhaps individually they are not as good as those magicians of the Magicians Association, but once they form a team-level scale, their strength will immediately surpass theirs. If they form a team of a thousand people, the Magicians Association will be no match at all.
These three thousand men were also stationed in the palace.
In addition, there are 20,000 Dawn Knights controlled by Apu. The total number of Dawn Knights is about 200,000, and there are about 20,000 stationed in the royal city. They are also the most elite.
There are a thousand people in the Inquisition... Although the number is not large, they are all the most terrifying and cruel ones, and their methods are the most brutal and cruel, and their average strength is higher.
And obey Dominic's call... Yes, it is a call. Although Dominic is the president of the Magicians Association, the Magicians Association is not a mandatory government unit. For the members of the Magicians Association, Dominic can only call, not order.
However, Dominic is quite powerful, and his disguise is also okay. His appeal in the Magicians Association is quite strong. This time, more than 1,800 magicians with decent strength came.
In addition, there are the nobles’ private soldiers.
Among them, the Egbert family, after knowing that the person they were going to deal with was Ron, deployed almost 80% of the family's private soldiers.
Browning and Grand Duke Smullet also deployed 50% of their family's private soldiers, which together numbered more than 5,000.
As for the private soldiers of other nobles, they were not recruited. Those people are now responsible for suppressing the mob in King Adams City.
The palace is very large, but with so many people stationed there, it is inevitably crowded. Fortunately, the royal family has no shortage of excellent and talented subordinates. They divided the palace into different areas in advance and allowed soldiers from different forces to be stationed in one area to avoid friction before they could go to war with Ron.
The clergy from the church were obviously more disciplined. Even when more than 20,000 people gathered together, they did not create too much noise.
However, this tranquility was soon broken by a burst of laughter that sounded like dry wood: "Hahaha...chicken soup is here..."
Following Virgil's voice, the clergy in charge of logistics came over in pairs, carrying one large bucket after another filled with freshly cooked, steaming, and fragrant chicken soup.
The oil floating on the surface makes people feel very appetizing at a glance.
When the knights saw the boiling hot chicken soup, their eyes suddenly lit up. Although these foods were not considered very good on a normal day, the clergy belonged to the upper class. Compared with the usual big fish and meat, these were nothing.
However, being able to eat these foods nowadays is already quite good, at least much better than other people around you. You can tell this just by looking at their envious eyes and the saliva that is about to flow out.
"Damn it, those people in the church are not human beings. They are coveting me again."
"That's right. I thought I could eat something good since I'm stationed in the palace and the palace provides meals. But Holt is too stingy. Every meal is rice porridge and dry bread? When have I ever suffered such a hardship?"
"What can I say? The rice porridge is watery. I counted it last time and there were thirteen grains of rice in it... And the bread is as hard as a brick..."
There were rustling sounds coming from all around.
The soldiers and magicians looked down at the dry bread in their hands, then looked at the steaming and fragrant chicken soup next door. After the comparison, they felt the gap in their hearts became even bigger.
Damn it, they are here to help, not to suffer.
These are the same things every day, and they are so bored that they have no energy to fight. On the other side, the clergy were arrogant and proud, looking at the envious eyes around them, feeling happy... The more envious those people were, the happier they felt.
This hobby is a bit bad. How can one build his own happiness on the pain of others? It is really against the guidance of the goddess of dawn, Ostara.
But there is no way, because they have Archbishop Virgil who cares about his subordinates.
One by one, they stood up, took out bowls and spoons from their storage rings, lined up, and prepared to enjoy the delicious food tonight. There were hundreds of meals, so it didn't take too long, and the steaming hot food went into the mouths of every priest.
Seeing that there was still some left in the big barrel, some other people nearby also came over and asked for two bowls of chicken soup. Virgil was smiling from beginning to end and never refused anyone who came to ask for food.
Seeing this, the clergy couldn't help but smack their lips. Archbishop Virgil was good in every way except that he had a very kind heart.
These people are not believers of the goddess, so why bother with them so much?
A small half of the chicken soup was distributed to the magicians and the nobles' private soldiers.
However, the Royal Guards and the Royal Magician Corps remained motionless from beginning to end. They are regular troops with strict military discipline, and things like asking others for food are absolutely prohibited.
It's disgraceful.
…
On the other side, the royal meeting room.
This is where Holt 474 and many noble representatives usually discuss state affairs.
And now, the atmosphere here is a little weird.
The one sitting in the main seat was naturally Holt the 474th.
On both sides of Holt's body, there were naturally Antonio and Hercules, the two generals. Everyone had long been accustomed to it. However, in addition to the two generals, there were actually four more masters who had just entered the legendary realm. They looked a little younger than Antonio and Hercules, and were obviously the masters that Holt had just trained. This old turtle was indeed insidious. At the last moment, he finally took out his capital.
Including the deputy commander of the Royal Guards, the deputy commander of the Royal Magic Legion, and Holt the 474th himself, there are a total of nine legendary masters provided by the royal family.
This number far exceeded their initial calculations.
This might be the foundation of the royal family. Moreover, no one could be sure whether this old guy had other hidden powers.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Just behind Holt sat the eldest prince and the second prince of the Granville Kingdom.
The eldest prince and the second prince, if placed in an ordinary aristocratic family, can actually be considered excellent. After all, after eight thousand years of corruption, the morals of most aristocratic children are hard to describe. In comparison, these two princes are already pretty good. With heroic-level strength, they can barely be considered the best among their peers.
When it comes to managing state affairs, they can also show some ability... However, with a sister like Dolores in front of them, the two princes suddenly become dim.
That's right, these two princes are the ones who most want to marry Dolores off, and their desire to weaken Dolores' power is even stronger than Holt's.
The second first place is Apu!
Right behind Apu are three loyal lackeys.
Including Apu himself, there are a total of four legendary masters.
On the right side is Anthony Andre.
Of course, Anthony Andre was not qualified to sit in the seat. He could only stand in the back with another member of the Andre family, Augustus Andre, and Gray Andre.
The person sitting in the seat was an elder from the Andre family, Adolf Andre, a legendary seven-star master who was about to break through to eight stars. He was half a star stronger than Augustus, but his status was obviously much higher than Augustus Andre.
Because of the previous hatred, Augustus was naturally unwilling to cooperate with Holt. This old bastard Holt destroyed the ancestral home that had been passed down from the saints for thousands of years, and even almost caused the only normal direct descendant of the branch family, Gray Andre, to die. This blood feud has not been avenged, let alone cooperation.
But, as Anthony Andre said, Augustus had no right to refuse the order of his family.
Moreover, Holt also promised that after this matter was over, he would be willing to invest a large amount of money to help the Andre family develop, and after eliminating Ron, the branch family would also be able to get a small amount of dragon crystal and dragon remains. Augustus reluctantly agreed.
As for Grayandre, he was seriously injured and had no value in Augustus' eyes except as food.
But no one knew whether it was God's mercy or other reasons, but Grayandre's injuries gradually improved over the following period of time, and even his broken limbs and organs slowly grew back.
It was a very long process. For a whole month, Grayandre spent almost every day screaming in unbearable pain.
However, after his injuries completely recovered, Grayandre officially entered the legendary realm.
Although he has just entered this level, he is still considered a master.
The Andre family, five legendary masters.
Further down is Dominic.
As the president of the Magicians' Association, if we talk about who knows magic better in the entire Granville Kingdom, Dominic claims to be second, and it is difficult to find anyone who can claim to be first. Perhaps someone can surpass Dominic in terms of realm, but in terms of pure magic application, there will be a big gap compared to Dominic.
Dominic's eyes were obviously filled with hatred when he looked towards the Andre family. His son was killed by that bastard Augustus, and he would not be a human being if he did not avenge him. It was just that now, there were greater interests in front of him, so he reluctantly suppressed his hatred.
Beside Dominic is another legendary master of the Magicians Association, three stars.
Magician Association, two legendary masters.
Further down the list are the two Grand Dukes, Browning and Smullet.
These two were both legendary six-stars, the same level as Grand Duke Egbert, but their realm was much more solid.
Because of so many years of corruption, the aristocracy has fewer and fewer people who practice seriously. On the contrary, many legendary masters have emerged among the lords of remote areas.
Noble class, two legendary masters! At this moment, there are 22 legendary masters in this meeting room! Chapter 4 is here.
