Krober conveyed the Grand Duke's order word for word to Odyssey, the leader of the Dragon Breath Knights.
This was the first time since he joined the Order that he had come into direct contact with his nominal leader.
Odyssey, the leader of the Dragon Breath Knights, looks like an ordinary, unremarkable middle-aged man, in stark contrast to the other handsome and elegant young knights.
However, it is precisely this ordinary appearance that makes him stand out in the Knights who are famous for their looks, and he can be said to be unique.
Kroeber knew not to judge a book by its cover.
Odyssey's Sky Knight strength stands there like a towering mountain, impossible to ignore.
The moment Krober entered the room, he felt the imposing aura as powerful as a mountain. He had only felt this kind of aura from Count Daniel, but with a slight difference.
This is the real reason why the Grand Duke chose Odysseus to take charge of the entire Knights – appearance is important, but strength is the key factor that determines everything.
Even if it is a guard of honor, there must be a few people who can hold up the scene, otherwise they will just become vases.
Odysseus did not seem surprised by Krobe's arrival, nor did he question the authenticity of the order. He just nodded to indicate that he understood and asked Krobe to report back to the Grand Duke.
He also told Krober that he didn't need to go when the Knights gathered in the afternoon, and just stay with the Grand Duke.
Krober nodded and didn't say much. After all, he had become a messenger and had to stay by the Grand Duke's side all the time. He knew what to say and what not to say. After staying there for a long time, he got used to it. The Grand Duke was not as strict as he had imagined.
In this way, time came to the afternoon, and the members of the Knights gathered on the training ground. One knight team was in a row, forming a square formation, with a total of five rows and fifty people.
At the front of the formation stood the leader and deputy leader of the Dragon Breath Knights. Unlike ordinary knights, they had an additional golden cloak on their equipment, and the pattern on their plate armor was also different from that of ordinary Dragon Breath Knights.
At this moment, Grand Duchess Veronica stood on the platform with her head held high and her chest puffed out.
In the audience, Odyssey was delivering a passionate speech:
"Brave and fearless knights! We are about to embark on a journey to the distant western border and start a war of expansion!
In this battle, you must keep two missions in mind:
First, we must defend the safety of His Excellency the Grand Duke to the death.
Second, we must do all we can to fulfill our responsibilities in this war.
After saying this, Odysseus suddenly drew out the extremely sharp sword from his waist.
The sword reflected a cold light on his resolute and courageous face.
Then he raised his arms and shouted, "Now, please answer me loudly, true knights!"
"Are you willing to fight for the Grand Duke? Are you willing to sacrifice everything for the Duchy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the knights roared in unison:
"I am willing to serve the Grand Duke until death! I am willing to be torn to pieces for my country!"
"Long live the Grand Duke! The Golden Grand Duchy will live forever!"
This passionate and magnificent shout resounded through the sky, as if it would break through the sky and shake the earth and sky.
Logically, it should be like this, or, that's the effect they imagined it should be.
But Kroeber curled his toes awkwardly as he watched.
This scene was clearly rehearsed. Just rehearse it, but where did you come up with the phrase "Long Live"? It really takes away from the show!
And that!
You kid in the second-to-last row, why are you just opening your mouth without saying anything? Do you really think no one noticed your little trick?
Krober tried to keep a calm expression and turned to look at the Grand Duke beside him. He was very curious about what she would feel in such a situation.
As a result, he found that the Grand Duke seemed to quite like this kind of scene. At least he didn't feel that the Grand Duke was bored.
After an impassioned "speech", the Dragon's Breath Knights escorted the Grand Duke on the road to Flower Crown City.
The Grand Duke usually does not ride a golden dragon when traveling, because golden dragons also have wisdom, and the relationship between the dragon rider and the dragon is more like partners rather than master and servant.
Depending on the personality of each dragon, most of them have some unknown quirks or dislikes.
Take the golden dragon Vivian for example. It likes beautiful and noble things, hates dirty things, and hates dirty things approaching it even more.
To sum it up, she has severe mysophobia, is very narcissistic, and is obsessed with looks. Moreover, Vivian can also discover the beauty among different races and objects.
Although Veronica can ride on the golden dragon, that is only during battles. Normally, Vivian prefers to soar in the sky alone rather than travel with her own knights, especially when there are a bunch of burdens below.
Therefore, Queen Veronica traveled in a carriage on weekdays, and the Knights also made detailed arrangements for various military operations during the trip.
The first team is responsible for guarding and escorting supplies and is located at the rear of the team. The second team serves as scouts and is responsible for exploring the way ahead.
The third, fourth and fifth teams are responsible for guarding the left, center and right sides of the team respectively.
Oh, I almost forgot, there is also Krober as a messenger who rides a horse next to the Grand Duke's carriage and is on standby at any time to convey the Grand Duke's orders as soon as possible.
Fortunately, this Rose Avenue is built very perfectly. Not only is the road wide and flat, but there are also people specially assigned to trim the flowers and trees along the Rose Avenue, which looks very refreshing.
Time flies. Ten days after setting out from Saint Gold Castle, the convoy finally arrived at the wall of Huaguan City.
