Chapter 12, the blood of the gods
Let me put it this way, if the king gave birth to more than ten sons, it is impossible for every son to be a king. Most of the sons who did not become kings were enthroned as dukes, marquis, and counts. Then many sons born to these dukes, marquis, and counts either inherited the title of father or devoted themselves to other nobles and acted as knights.
Well, this should be the first generation of knights.
As time goes by, the blood of the gods further spreads out, and no one knows whether a farmer's ancestor is a nobleman.
In short, for now, so many countries have been established, destroyed, established, destroyed, and most ordinary people have more or less bloodlines of a certain god in their bodies.
After various strength and skills training of the knight attendants, some knight attendants were lucky enough to activate the thin bloodline and made contributions, so they were naturally named knights by the superior lord.
Of course, over time, various techniques and training methods for activate bloodlines gradually took shape and were classified as one of the foundations of the noble inheritance, which was called the knight training method.
To put it bluntly, there is no new god in the past thousand years.
Therefore, the royal members of those countries now do not have much blood. Like other nobles, they rely on knight training to activate bloodlines and enhance bloodline power.
The Knight Temos finally activated his bloodline by relying on the knight training method passed down from his ancestors, and then inherited his father's family business.
As for the story here, Knight Temos will definitely not say it. After all, the knight training method can be said to be the foundation of a family.
The knight's title may be lost, but if there is a knight training method, then one day, a certain descendant will activate his bloodline and become a knight again.
Hearing this, Zhou Mingyue asked curiously: "Are there any nobles who have not activated their bloodlines? After all, those princes..."
Zhou Mingyue didn't finish his words, after all, he didn't know if there were any taboos in it.
The Temos Knights did not seem to be the kind of guy who regards the royal family as orthodox. When he heard Zhou Mingyue's words, he smiled: "There must be this one, after all, not every prince can become a king."
After listening to the explanation of the Knight Temos, Zhou Mingyue understood a little.
To put it bluntly, there are two types of nobles. The first is the Knight of Temos and Viscount Hanks, who activate bloodlines. They have strong combat power and can lead the army to charge into battle. They are called the Sword-holding nobles.
The second type is that it failed to activate its bloodline, but inherited the title and territory of the father, and was called the nobleman in clothing.
There is actually not much difference between the sword-holding nobles and the nobles in the dress. The nobles in the dress can also lead troops to fight. Anyway, they only have knights under their command, but their status is still lower than that of the sword-holding nobles of the same grade.
In addition, there are explicit provisions on this in the bill of inheritance of the nobles that is pervasive throughout the continent.
The nobles with swords were hereditary, while the nobles with clothing were the first to be ranked.
In other words, the son of the nobleman who holds the sword inherits his father's title and his territory will not be reduced by the superior lord.
However, the son of the nobleman inherited the title and the title was reduced by a higher level, and the territory would be reduced accordingly until the heirs activated by blood appeared, but the title that had been reduced could not be repaid, and they could only rely on the efforts of the successors to make military achievements and improve their military achievements.
In fact, after this regulation is implemented in parallel with the inheritance rights of the eldest son, the number of nobles will be controlled within a reasonable range, and will not lead to the rapid increase in aristocrats in a country and cause unstable national system.
After all, activating bloodlines depends on character. The lucky family has descendants who have activated bloodlines from generation to generation. The lucky family has descendants who have not activated bloodlines for several consecutive generations, and they will almost become civilians.
Of course, the most important point is to ensure the strength of the country. After all, on such a medieval battlefield, no matter how many nobles in clothing and hats are, they are not as good as one noble with swords.
The Knight Temos drank and went to rest, but Zhou Mingyue lay on the bed without any sleepiness.
Obviously, as I said before, I still underestimated this world.
Originally, he thought it was just a place similar to the Middle Ages on Earth, but what he never expected was that there were so many supernatural things here.
At this point, the more than 200 peasant soldiers whom I thought were based on were nothing in front of those knights. Maybe with one charge, they would break the peasant soldiers formation, take the headquarters, and take his life.
Of course, the more this happens, the more he is determined to follow Viscount Hanks to play jungle.
The peasant soldiers produced by the War Workshop are not very good now, but what about after the advancement?
Two days later, under the leadership of Viscount Hanks, many knights gathered into an army of more than 3,000 people and headed towards the border in a mighty manner.
In this army, Lord Viscount dispatched a thousand troops, and the Viscount personally took over, plus five domestic knights without fiefdoms, were considered the main force to win the lineup.
The Viscount Hanks is directly next to the border, and Hanks Castle is only about three days away from the border.
Zhou Mingyue no longer asked the peasant soldiers to carry themselves away with a cold pole, which was too eye-catching.
He bought a variegated pack horse from the merchants who were traveling with the army. Although it was not as tall and strong as the war horse, he also separated him from ordinary soldiers.
Besides, even if the army is defeated, he can escape with his horsepower, right?
If you don’t say you win, you will first say you lose. This is the style of a famous general.
Riding on a colorful pack horse, standing by the road, watching the continuous soldiers moving forward, Zhou Mingyue wanted to recite a poem!
“The scenery of the North….”
Just one sentence, he stopped the vegetables. This season is not suitable. The autumn has just arrived and the millet has not been collected yet.
However, a few farmers in the marching queue started and sang some songs, and then it spread, and almost all the peasants and soldiers were singing.
The general idea is that the millet is to be harvested. I went to war, robbed a lot of gold, silver and treasures, went home to marry a yellow girl, gave birth to a bunch of little bastards, etc.
This song is down-to-earth, Zhou Mingyue sighed quietly.
Three days later, arrive at the border.
This border of the Kingdom of Flor is not directly connected to other countries, but is a wilderness area with no regard for it.
While a large number of barbarians were living, these barbarians took a tribal-based social model and each ruled their own affairs, fought with each other for years, and occasionally invaded the surrounding countries to fight thresh grass and other things.
The Kingdom of Flor is one of the victims.
Therefore, the Kingdom of Flor was in favor of the nobles who sent troops to attack the barbarians.
