Chapter 690: Former members of the Wind Knights

Chapter 690: Former members of the Wind Knights

Although George was taken away, the last sentence he said before leaving made Robb a little curious. He turned to Madeline beside him and asked, "Did George just say that Kante will be knighted?"

Madeline nodded, "Yes! Kante's uncle, Baron Nuolun, made a request to the captain of the Wind knights, hoping to make his nephew a real knight and participate in this expedition. After making a fortune in recent years, Baron Nuolun has spent a lot of money on his colleagues in the Wind knights, supporting his poor comrades-in-arms, buying war horses and equipment for the knights, and has put in both money and effort. The captain of the Wind knights had no choice but to agree when he asked."

Robb was speechless, "Using connections and walking through the back door?"

Madeline said, "Although it's using connections, Kante is actually pretty good. Among the students in this year's class at the academy, except for you, he is the most outstanding one."

"A physical department mage is also considered outstanding?" Robb was sweating profusely. "Just how bad are the students in this year's class?"

Madeline laughed, "When we say he's outstanding, it's not because his magic power is strong. It's because he is the most suitable warrior to walk out of school and onto the battlefield in this year's class of students."

"Okay!" Robb agreed with her statement.

The two of them walked into the palace, not directly into the main hall to see the queen, but instead went around to a small hall on the side to meet the captain of the Wind knights. Robb was about to become a staff officer for the Wind knights, so it was appropriate to meet the captain.

As they approached the door of the small hall, Madeline suddenly grabbed Robb and put a finger to her lips, "Shh!" and then pointed inside.

Robb quickly stopped talking and looked into the small hall.

It turned out that a solemn ceremony was taking place in the small hall!

A middle-aged man in a robe was standing sideways to the door. He looked to be in his forties and was somewhat familiar, but Robb couldn't remember who he was.

Kante was kneeling in front of this man, with a very pious look on his face.

The middle-aged man in the robe held a sword flat in his hand and rested it on Kante's shoulder. He said in a very solemn voice, "In the face of strong enemies, fearlessness is essential! Be bold and loyal, worthy of the god of war! Be Honest and have integrity and never falter! Protect the weak, be righteous! This is your oath, remember it firmly!"

Kante lowered his head and responded loudly, "I will bravely face strong enemies. I will fight against criminals without reservation. I will fight for those who cannot fight. I will help those who need help. I will not harm women and children. I will help my knight brothers. I will be faithful to my friends. And I will be sincere in love."

After finishing his oath, the middle-aged man moved the sword that was resting on Kante's shoulder and declared loudly, "I hereby announce that Kante Chengguang is now a knight."

He waved his hand, and a whirlwind symbol appeared on Kante's shoulder pad. It was a magical emblem emitting a bright green light. However, the emblem did not have any BUFF effect. It was merely a symbol, and anyone wearing this emblem was officially a member of the Wind knights.

Kante stood up, excited and happy. Just then, Madeline walked into the small hall and greeted the middle-aged man, "Captain Barry, look who I brought."

The man, known as Captain Barry, turned his head and saw Robb. He was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Robb Smith!"

Kante also turned to see Robb and was equally delighted. He had not seen "this Robb" for a long time and had only heard that he had locked himself in the chapel to study wind magic. It was rare to see him.

Robb gave Kante a nod of acknowledgment and then turned to Captain Barry. By now, Barry was facing Robb and could see his face clearly. It felt familiar to Robb, and he tried to remember where he had seen him before.

After some thought, he suddenly remembered that he had met him before under a different name during a magic item production class on Bright Road. He had even talked to him excitedly about being a soldier in the Wind knights. He had never thought that this guy was the captain.

The current Wind knights were mostly the old subordinates of John Roland Smith. After the old man died in the battle with the Black Dragon, the Wind knights fell into decline and were suppressed by the Thunder Knights, who drove them out of the power center.

Interestingly, almost none of the members of them had served under Mondera. They all scattered to the countryside, like the Chengguang family, who moved to a small farm on the border. It was only after the queen's rebellion that members of the Wind Knights gradually returned to serve under the queen.

Barry turned to Robb and said, "I heard that in the Battle of the Lost City, you gave her Majesty the Queen a good strategy, repelled the surprise attack of the kingdom of Norma, and made great contributions. When I heard this news, I was really happy. This time, when Her Majesty the Queen said she planned to call you, I immediately suggested that you be the leader, but Her Majesty was worried that you were still young and could not command well, so she asked you to be a staff member first."

He then shook his head and said, "Her Majesty is really too careful. How could you not command well? Who among the members of the Wind knights didn't follow your grandfather? Whoever dares not to obey you, I'll break his head."

Madeline also chimed in, "That's right, Elizabeth is too cautious."

Robb cried and laughed, "No, no, no, I think it's better to be a staff member. I don't know anything about the current Wind knights. If I really became the captain, wouldn't it be me blindly commanding? Being a staff member is more suitable for me."

"Well, that really puts you in a difficult position," Barry said. "Anyway, if you have any ideas, just tell me. The Wind knights were your grandfather's, and sooner or later, they'll be back in your hands."

Robb thought to himself, [This is really a loyal old subordinate! Why didn't he think about getting rid of me so that no one would steal his position as captain?]

However, Robb soon realized why he didn't have such thoughts.

That evening, Robb arrived at the temporary camp of the Wind knights. As soon as the old members of the Wind knights from all over the world heard of Robb's identity, they immediately swarmed over, and everyone looked at Robb's eyes as if they were looking at a hero, a savior.

"Mr. Smith!"

"The descendant of the Smith family."

"The soul of our Wind knights!"

"Someone can finally lead us to regain the glory of the Wind knights."
