Chapter 1049: The Princess’s Reward
Translator: TransN Editor: TransN “Rise,” Tilly said placidly. “I know that you must be puzzled at this moment. Why does the military recruit unofficial residents? Why are the screening conditions so weird? And… why do I explain these to you? In fact, these issues are hard to explain, but you’ll find them easy after you experience them in person. Therefore, I won’t elaborate here. I’ll simply mention a few points.”
“First of all, you’re joining neither the First Army nor the Second Army. It’s a new army that my brother intends to establish. It’s different from any other army, so the screening will also be more special.”
Her words caused a stir among the crowd. Undoubtedly, the new army offered a wider promotion route and it was less likely for them to be marginalized. For those who had no background at all, it was obviously the best choice to develop in a brand-new army.
Even a fool could realize it.
“But you can only be counted as reserve members now,” the princess continued. “It’s so different that I don’t have any reference. This means that everything must be started from scratch, and the difficulties will definitely be beyond imagination. Compared with it, what you encountered earlier is nothing. There are 16 people here, but, I’m afraid that only one or two, or none of you can become the Aerial Knight.”
Good could not help gasping at her words.
What surprised him was not how difficult it was, but the first half of her words.
It was indeed a knight!
Although he did not know the difference between the “Aerial Knight” and the traditional knight, it was inconceivable that ordinary people from poor families could get this opportunity.
As for its difficulty?
That is only natural!
He felt his heart started to burn.
He was even more shocked at what she said next—
“In addition, in this city… no, in the world, only my brother and I truly understand what the new army is, but the king is too busy to put too much energy in it. Therefore, I’ll be responsible for teaching you in the future.”
Her words struck Good like a thunder.
Her Royal Highness would personally teach them?
In other words, they would have the opportunity to become the knights conferred by the Graycastle Princess?
Even if they would not be conferred with domain and noble title, it was still a great honor, especially for new migrants like him who had nothing.
Others also could not calm down.
If it was not for fear of being rude to the princess, they would have surely cheered long ago.
The best evidence was the rapid breathing around him.
“All qualified trainees will be trained together in the Shallow Beach New District. You’ll get new residences and official identities, and become a member of the new king’s city from then on.” Tilly stretched out her hand and pressed down, “Remember, though you’re just trainees, you’re also a member of the army. Your actions will be restricted. If you quit halfway, it’ll be regarded as defection. Any violation of military orders will result in severe punishment. Do you understand?”
“Yes… Your Highness!” Although they were shocked by the princess’ solemn warning and their answers were not loud, no one showed their regret.
“Very good. Finally, take an oath to the King of Graycastle.” Tilly turned to the tall man at the table, “Vader.”
The latter nodded his head while pressing his chest and then took out a sheet of white paper from his pocket, “Now repeat every word I say.”
The content of the oath was very easy to understand.
Even too straightforward.
For example, “I will never be disloyal to King Roland and I have no hostility to the witches.”
Who dares !
Thinking that Her Highness was also said to be a witch, Good unconsciously raised his voice to the maximum as if that could show his loyalty.
After the oath was completed, the guards stepped forward and distributed packages to their hands.
“From this moment on, you are a member of the army.” Tilly smiled, “The first round of recruitment is expected to last for a week or so, and then the training will officially begin. The things in the package are my personal reward and also what you must master.”
