The Lich of Glory Knight Spirit: Moving towards Krimasha! Chapter 629 - 4: Fifth Squadron

Life for Erwin is frustrating. Although in the eyes of many, he is already the "favored child of heaven."

Isn’t it? From civilian to nobility.

Just ten years ago, to find soone who could single-handedly rise from civilian to nobility, you could search the entire White City and not find one in fifty years.

This is normal. The basic advancent route for the nobility, the first step is becoming a knight. Becoming a knight grants you salary and land, then you can ascend to baron, earl, duke... And just the warhorse and knight armor are enough to overwhelm ninety-five percent of families.

Adding the expenses needed for knight training makes it even harder to bear.

Even if you have enough money, for instance, you’re of rchant descent, it still won’t work. Because in peaceti, the top nobles wish to have fewer people under them, even if you et all the knight standards, it still won’t work.

Now, although the war period has slightly loosened the requirents, the standards for knights have also increased. These days, rely having a set of knight equipnt and so knight training isn’t enough, you must truly be skilled in battle.

Erwin surpassed all the standards. Yet, does surpassing all the standards only usher in another ordinary life?

If it were others, perhaps they’d be content, but he is Erwin, a mber of the Silver Moon Knight Order that charged forward with Gray, albeit unofficially.

When one has stood at the pinnacle of glory, it’s impossible to forget that passionate blood boiling mont, when one has received the blessing of the Holy Light, it’s impossible to forget that pure white expanse, impossible to forget the feeling of endless power surging within.

To be honest, even though he’s trained for so many years, he actually still can’t match the self that was bathed in the great blessing spell.

The most painful thing in life is the downward spiral, the fading of brilliance. Although it was rely a coincidence in life, Erwin indeed found himself in such a state.

...

After officially serving Yilin, for the first month, he helped Huoersi train new recruits at the training field every day.

"Hey, kid, I think you’re really talented. Are you really not considering swearing allegiance to Miss Yilin? If you agree, I can speak to Miss Yilin about you taking my position. After all, I don’t think anyone is more suitable than you."

Faced with Huoersi’s praise, Erwin could only lower his head helplessly.

Even though life is dull, he always wore a forced smile, yet he still dedicated himself thoroughly to his work and got along well with everyone.

Sunrise and sunset, ti flies by and a month was gone in the blink of an eye. On this day, a brand new set of knight equipnt was placed before Erwin.

A set of thirty-eight pieces, including a helt, breastplate, backplate, shoulder guards, leg guards, waist skirt, even including armor for the horse, a lance, a longsword, a dagger, and a light crossbow, it encompasses everything a Heavy Armor Knight needs.

The armor looked brand new and silver, yet was adorned with ancient runes and embedded with wondrous patterns, radiating dazzling light under the sun.

The surface seed to have so kind of untouchable power flowing on it, this was sothing Erwin had never seen before. The mont he saw this set of armor, all his attention was drawn to it.

"Do you like it?" Huoersi whispered: "Last ti, I got your asurents."

Which knight wouldn’t love armor?

"I... I like it." Erwin stamred: "Is this for ?"

"Yes, it’s magic armor." Yilin, standing beside the armor, smiled and said: "White City is about to have a new elite knight force, composed of knights equipped with magic armor. Huoersi suggested you lead them, and I agreed."

"A new knight order... What’s its na?" Erwin asked sowhat bewildered.

"Hmm..." Yilin chuckled and replied: "Silver Moon Knight Fifth Squad."

"Silver Moon Knight Fifth Squad?" Erwin was astonished.

"Yes, Silver Moon Knight Fifth Squad." Yilin calmly said: "If soone is willing to inherit Gray’s ambition, I will fully support it. I’ve already explained this na to Richie and Jones by letter, and they’ve agreed. Also, they expressed a desire to et you if there’s a chance, especially Jones."

"Jones..." Erwin was already so excited he didn’t know what to say: "Is he doing well? I heard the Blood Clan age slowly, does he still look the sa as before?"

Yilin nodded and replied: "He has grown slightly taller, but he still looks like a child."

Hesitant, Erwin stepped forward, knelt on one knee, then looked up and respectfully said to Yilin: "I swear, as long as it doesn’t violate my oath to the commander, I will follow any order of yours. Please accept , though not a complete allegiance."

"You don’t have to do that." Yilin hurriedly helped Erwin up: "Actually, the equipnt for the Silver Moon Knight Fifth Squad will all be provided by Jones. Although I initially intended to provide it, he brought it up and I agreed. After all... I might not be able to offer very good equipnt. Even though he’s tried hard to lower the price, I still can’t afford much. If we require only the best, it would be an extrely exorbitant cost. Perhaps throughout the entire continent, only Jones in our camp could afford it."

After hesitating for a mont, Erwin earnestly said: "Anyway, thank you. My oath just now is still valid."

Looking at Erwin, it took a while before Yilin smiled and replied: "Thank you."
