Eric. Medal, a peak apprentice knight, is thirty-five years old this year. He has tried to break through to become a formal knight once but failed. However, I heard that he has recovered from the injuries caused by the previous failed breakthrough and is already preparing for a second breakthrough.
Originally, Eric ignored and even looked down on Krober like most people in the territory. However, since Krober broke through the low-level servants, he gradually showed his bravery in the bandit suppression operations.
Especially after he broke through to become a high-level attendant, the two of them sparred with each other and he found that he could not do anything to Krober. This made him sigh more than once at the power of the Golden Rose family bloodline.
The improvement of your abilities will earn you the respect of others.
This point is vividly reflected in Eric, who himself is just a small nobleman from a commoner family.
The title of a lord cannot be inherited unless he breaks through the ranks of formal knights and makes his title hereditary.
But he knew clearly in his heart that he probably didn't have much hope, and could only bet this slim hope on the second and final breakthrough.
But he now saw another hope, that was Kroeber Oats.
The civilians in the territory don’t know, but as one of the top leaders, I know it clearly.
The Golden Rose Family has asked for the adoption of this gifted young knight more than once. Baron Klar can stop him for a while, but can he stop Krober for a lifetime?
When the time comes for Krober to leave Deepwater Territory, he can be said to be soaring to the sky. According to his talent, Sky Knight is definitely not his end point. His end point should be Titled Knight... or even Dragon Knight!
"By the golden dragon! Krober actually has a chance to become a dragon rider!"
This made Eric, who had been struggling to break through to become a formal knight, feel depressed for a while.
"Is this... the peak of the Apprentice Knight?"
Glancing at Krober who was passing by him, Eric couldn't help but shout out loud after sensing the same aura on him as his own.
The peak apprentice knight is in a very strange state. Although there is no fighting spirit in the body, there is a special "qi". This qi is equivalent to a kind of vitality condensation phenomenon produced by training the body to the limit. Generally, only the peak apprentice knights of the same rank and the formal knights above them can feel it.
This sound made the originally quiet meeting room explode.
"What? Apprentice Knight Peak? Who is that? Could it be Master Krober?"
"Is this true? Master Krober is only fifteen now. It is said that within the territory of the sovereign Emerald Kingdom, geniuses who can break through to the rank of full knight at the age of sixteen can participate in the Dragon Knight Reserve Program."
"Oh my god, he's worthy of being called Master Krober. I've always believed in him since I was a kid."
"Come on, when you were young you would hide away from Master Krober."
"I want to fight you, you baldy!"
"Come on, I'm afraid of you, you weakling!"
…
The meeting suddenly became noisy, but Krober had no awareness of being the protagonist of the topic. He sat quietly in his seat, as if the person being discussed was not him.
Seeing the chaotic scene, Crocker, the heir of the baron who was presiding over the meeting, couldn't help but narrow his eyes, looked gloomily at Krober who was sitting on the chair, and then couldn't help but knocked hard on the table with his hands.
"Silence! Silence! It's a meeting now!"
After all, as the future Baron of Deepwater Territory, although Crocker's cultivation was not very good, he still had the most basic dignity and quickly curbed the chaotic scene.
"Next, let's continue discussing the battle plan..."
After sitting in his chair and listening for a while, Crocker knew that the "Western Expedition" that took place every ten years had begun again.
The Golden Duchy is located in the southeast of the Knight Continent, bordering the sovereign country, the Emerald Kingdom, to the north. To the east and south is a vast ocean known as the Blue Sea.
There are some scattered islands in these two directions, but their area is not very large. The largest one is only the size of a viscounty.
To the west lies an endless forest, collectively known as the Moi Forest, where live numerous magical beasts, ranging from low-level to top-level ones.
As long as it is a magical beast, even the lowest level magical beast can fight against a formal knight.
The reason why they are called Warcraft is because a power of the same level as fighting spirit but completely different in nature has awakened in the bodies of Warcraft. After research, magicians decided to call them magic power, so beasts with magic power are called Warcraft.
Low-level Warcraft corresponds to human's official knights, intermediate-level Warcraft corresponds to great knights, high-level Warcraft corresponds to earth knights, and top-level Warcraft corresponds to sky knights. It is said that above the top-level Warcraft there is a powerful creature called fantasy beast.
The phantom beasts correspond to the titled knights of humans. Not only are the phantom beasts powerful, they also possess a considerable degree of intelligence and can form contracts with humans for mutual benefit.
Generally, those who can afford the phantom beast contract are titled knights, so titled knights are also called phantom beast knights. The titles of titled knights are generally named after the characteristics of the contracted phantom beast or the strongest moves.
For example, taking the barony where Krober is located, their lord is Stephen Moonlight Mushroom, and their family is named after the Moonlight Mushroom Potion Elf. The most powerful person in the family is Earl Stephen himself, who is at the peak of the Earth Knight's strength. It is said that he has gone into seclusion and plans to break through the barriers of the Sky Knight.
His neighbor, Marquis Byron Frostwolf, known as the Frostfang Knight, is a representative of this group. The Marquis' family no longer uses the names of great elves as their surnames, but instead uses the names of the mythical beasts contracted by the family as their surnames.
The Arctic Frost Wolf is the mythical beast contracted by the Frostwolf family, and the title of Frostfang Knight is the title that Marquis Byron got after he used his own fighting skill Frostfang Bite to kill a mythical beast that refused to surrender during a certain Western Expedition.
