You were made to farm, and now you're the emperor of an empire?

Chapter 69 What about me?
Kao had vowed to make something of himself.

In order to gain the lord's favor and appreciation, he made long-term plans.

First, he would have to work very hard for several years, toiling like a slave, dressing up his sister Sanna beautifully, and getting her to sleep with a powerful steward. Perhaps this would help him escape his slave status, and if he was lucky, he could follow in the steward's footsteps and enter the lord's sights.

By then, he will be fully grown up and thus have greater initiative.

He will become a guard, defeat all competitors, and rise to the rank of captain.

This land is becoming increasingly turbulent.

Even the father, who was a fisherman, often sighed like this.

He felt that he would definitely be able to fight for his lord in the future.

As long as he survives, his status will rise, he will gain power, he will no longer be powerless, and he will be able to go find the pirates and shred their limbs.

This is what Kao plans to do.

Sooner or later, he too will be able to roar in this era!
To escape a weak past as a slave!

……

But he never expected this to happen.

On the third day after becoming a slave, his master appeared beside him.

The noble and exalted lord asked him:

"So, do you wish to become my knight in shining armor?"

……

Roman was very fond of the boy in front of him.

Strong-willed and with extremely high talent potential.

more importantly!
After being recruited as an apostle, Roman met Khao and their [relationship level] was a staggering 42%.

loyalty!

So loyal!

Why wait to train them into conquering knights!
……

Aaron and Green were both shocked by Roman's words.

What does it mean to be a knight in arms?
That means real power.

Putting aside the difficulty of training, the selection process alone is very challenging.

Aaron and Green also stood out among dozens or even hundreds of children of the same age during their childhood.

They were exceptionally talented and able to adapt to rigorous training, which allowed them to learn various skills and martial arts at the Grand Duke's castle, thus laying the foundation for their acquaintance with Roman.

Now Roman has selected the trainees for the Knights of War with just one initial selection?
Both of them considered this kind of selection process to be very basic.

In their eyes, this boy named Kao was only barely usable; he had good resilience and was qualified to be a guard, and given time, he could become the captain of the guard.

The result... the Knights of Conquest?
This is ridiculous!
No, it's absolutely incredible!
Both of them had an urge to pry open Roman's head and see what he was thinking.

Did the brain nerves and brain cells fight? Did they suffer heavy casualties on both sides, turning Roman into an idiot?

Of course, if we were to actually do that.

They would see the voice echoing repeatedly in Roman's mind...purple...four stars...

……

Kao had no idea what Roman had seen.

He felt flattered and overwhelmed.

Conqueror Knights!

The strongest military force on this land!
Only the Conqueror Knights can fight against them!
This is almost a consensus.

These days, it's no longer a matter of promotion.

Kao even thought he had misheard or was hallucinating, so he pinched his palm hard before realizing it was real.

"I am willing!! Master! I am willing to give my life to fight for you!!!"

Following the legends he had heard, Kao excitedly knelt down, crawling forward on his knees, and even wanted to hug the lord's thighs and kiss his shoes.

Roman watched the excited boy rush forward, smiled faintly, then raised his leg and stepped on Khao's head, burying his cheek in the soil. Khao was docile and offered no resistance. Because the force of his step was so light, he felt no pain, only supreme honor.

Roman raised his elbow to support his chin, lifted his leg, and said calmly, "Behind me are two warrior knights named Aaron and Green. They will be training you from now on."

Kao straightened up and looked at the two cold figures, fully armored and covered by helmets.

Káo's right cheek was covered in mud, and his left cheek was covered in footprints, but he nodded vigorously.

Roman placed his hand on young Kao's face, gently brushing away the dirt, and said in a mild tone, "Don't disappoint me in the future."

Kao's eyes were bloodshot, and he was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, but he couldn't utter a single word.

"Go eat. You must be hungry after standing for so long. I've had the chef prepare your meals. You'll be living in the manor from now on, so eat well every day..."

Kao was so excited that tears streamed down his face. He said, "Master, I have a younger sister..."

Roman showed no displeasure; instead, he became even more gentle and said, "Then let your sister come to my manor as well."

Led by the maid, Kho left, tears of gratitude streaming down his face.

Roman's lips curled up, and he hummed a few words with a hint of smug satisfaction.

With a gentle punch, I found a treasure!

Seeing that everyone had left, Green finally couldn't hold back any longer.

He asked, "Isn't this too hasty?"

Roman countered, "In a rush?"

Aaron nodded, "It was a bit rushed."

It's important to know that their selection process lasts for half a month, which is necessary to select the most qualified and outstanding trainees.

Green added, "Aaron and I were both selected when we were five or six years old. Any knight in battle must be trained before the age of twelve at the latest. Judging from his appearance, he is probably fourteen or fifteen years old."

Aaron nodded and said, "He is getting a bit old."

The two knights questioned Roman's decision.

The training period for a Conqueror Knight is very long.

The earlier the training begins, the greater the potential for development.

This development doesn't involve training very early on, but rather laying the foundation from a young age.

In Roman's view, it was purely a nutritional issue.

If you are malnourished as a child, it's harder to make up for it as you get older.

Wu Dalang's skeletal structure was already set; even if he ate ten tigers after he grew up, he would not be able to grow into the size of Wu Song.

Kao is considered quite strong for his age. He probably didn't go hungry as a child. Although he is not as physically fit as Roman, he is still considered healthy.

Roman could ignore anyone's advice, but Glenn and Yalin's opinions could not be disregarded; they were quite reasonable.

He needs to give an explanation.

Roman turned to Aaron and said to him, "That child's future achievements will not be inferior to yours."

Aaron, who was usually taciturn, stopped talking after hearing this.

Since Roman had made the decision, he had no objections.

Green was taken aback.

He waited a moment, and seeing that Roman had no intention of explaining to him, he couldn't help but point to himself.

"what about me?"

Roman glanced at Green and let out a disdainful snort.

What does the matter of four stars have to do with you?
He patted his behind, stretched, and left under Green's almost fiery gaze.

"Eat, eat!"

Aaron patted Green on the shoulder, went back to his room to take off his armor, changed into casual clothes, and headed to the dining room.

Green angrily went back to his room.

He didn't know what Roman was thinking, but their long-standing tacit understanding allowed him to know what Roman was thinking.
