Thousand-Faced Knight, Nameless.

He may be the most mysterious legendary knight in history.

No one knows his name, no one knows when he became a legend, and no one has even seen what he looks like.

But his name is the Thousand-Faced Knight.

This has left a deep imprint in the hearts of many people in later generations.

This is an unsung legend.

If the Voice of the Deathly Bird was founded by the Thousand-Faced Knight, then this organization is really powerful.

"Fred, who do you think might want to get rid of me?" Levi asked.

Fred thought for a moment and said, "It's most likely the Duke of Montenegro."

"But the Duke of Montenegro clearly had the opportunity to get rid of me six years ago," Levi said.

"That's different. Six years ago, it was the time of the holy war, and your father had just died. Getting rid of you at that time would easily cause some unnecessary trouble. But now six years have passed, the Black Snake Knight has become the dust of history, and you, as the successor of the Black Snake Knight, have long disappeared from everyone's sight. It is definitely most appropriate to find a killer to get rid of you at this time to prevent future troubles. It's just that the Duke of Montenegro probably couldn't have imagined that in just six years, you have grown from a child into a real knight." Knight Fred said.

"Is it possible that Abraham from the church did it?" Levi asked.

"It's possible, but the probability is low. If the church really wants to take action against you, there is no need to go through so much trouble. After all, for the Duke, killing a nobleman without reason requires consideration of the kingdom's laws and the rules between nobles, and they have to cover it up. For the church, they are the law with the loving Father in Heaven above them. Besides, Abraham only cares about money, not people. We have already promised to pay him, so he shouldn't do that."

Knight Fred gave his analysis, and Levi thought it made some sense.

Now it seems very likely that it was the Duke of Montenegro.

After all, this group of people has occupied Tulip Territory and Storm Territory for such a long time, but there is still a grudge that makes them feel a little worried when they think about it occasionally.

That is me, the son of the black snake.

Although he looked like a prodigal son and weak and incompetent, he could not rule out the possibility that, just like in the legendary story, things would change over time and the fallen nobles would rise up and take revenge. As long as there was even a slight possibility, it could cause trouble for the Duke of Montenegro in the future.

Now, six years have passed since the Holy War. No one remembers the Black Snake Knight anymore, and no one cares about a small baron lord in such a remote area. At this time, it would be great to hire a killer to kill him in his own territory without anyone knowing.

"Oh, being a noble is difficult. I have tried my best to show that I am not interested in power, to be as low-key as possible, to live in my own world as much as possible, and not to participate in worldly disputes. However, there are always some bigwigs who are used to looking at me with the eyes of power, treating me as an imaginary enemy, as a weed in the way, and want to pull me out."

These big shots are able to make things happen at will, they are far-sighted, scheming against each other, and they are arrogant and look down on others.

For ordinary people like Levi who are not good at power struggles, there is only one thing they can do:

Silently work hard to increase your proficiency, and when you have enough power to change everything, crush their heads and trample on their dignity!

"Master Levi, although you have been promoted to a formal knight, you are still far from being able to fight against the Duke of Black Mountain. Not to mention the Duke of Black Mountain, one of the Seven Knights of the North, even the Bloody Earl and the Silver Veil Earl are great knights. They are far superior to us in both personal and military strength. You can't be impulsive." Knight Fred suddenly said, looking at Levi with red eyes.

"Don't worry, Fred. I know what to do. We can just live our lives as usual. From now on, half of the armor forged every month will be kept for our own use. I will first equip a team of 50 elite soldiers."

"If conditions permit, I would like to purchase war horses and train our militia into real cavalry. Having a fully armed, well-trained, and agile cavalry team can also greatly enhance our strength."

Levi talked about his future plans, and he believed that cavalry was a must.

In this era of cold weapons, cavalry is the absolute king. A formal knight may be able to deal with ten well-trained ordinary soldiers alone, but he will definitely not be able to deal with a cavalry team of ten people.

The impact of a warhorse weighing several hundred kilograms, coupled with heavy armor, wielding spears, hammers, and swords, is absolutely terrifying.

If Levi had a cavalry team of fifty people, he could defeat more than two-thirds of the baronies. If he had a cavalry team of hundreds of people, he would not be afraid of even the earldoms. As for thousands of people, Levi dared not even think about it now.

During the Millennium Holy War, the Emerald King launched a counter-invasion war against the Tuva Empire. In the name of the king, he only recruited more than 20,000 cavalrymen from nobles all over the country.

In a word, in this world, although knights are powerful, what really determines the direction of large-scale wars is still the number of troops, equipment, and especially cavalry.

Levi had no intention of expanding the army. At first he just wanted to make a little money to support his own practice.

However, he found that he was wrong. In this world, once he sat in this position, he had to face challenges from all sides at all times.

He must develop his military strength so that he can protect himself!

Levi's approach is to go for high-quality products and first build a fully armed cavalry.

Regarding the construction of cavalry and the question of weapons and equipment,

With the territory's thriving forging industry, solving this problem is only a matter of time.

What gave Levi the most headache was the war horses needed for the cavalry.

As far as Levi knew, a top-quality, pure-blooded, armored mountain warhorse would cost eighty gold coins.

If Levi wanted to equip a complete cavalry team of 50 people, ignoring weapons, equipment and horse armor, the war horses alone would cost several thousand gold coins.

And this is just the cost of buying a warhorse. A warhorse needs to consume dozens of kilograms of feed every day. In order to ensure nutrition, even a lot of human food has to be mixed in. For the small lords of this era, this thing is a money-burning machine.

But when he thought about the possible crises in the future, Levi felt that he still had to do it, but he had to take a long-term view.

Ultimately, it’s about making money.

"As for the cavalry, I agree with the young master. If we want to take back the Black Snake Family's territory in the future, cavalry is also indispensable. However, the territory's finances are simply not able to support a cavalry team at this stage. Let's take our time. By the way, there is one more thing I think I need to tell you." Knight Fred suddenly said. "I think I know who the knight you traded with is."

"Who is it?"

"Horse Rider."
