Crusade against the Pope

Chapter 32 Leaving
The reason why Garys bestowed Simon as a knight was naturally because Garys could not manage it all by himself.

When he was resting yesterday evening, realizing that speed was of the essence and time waited for no one, Garys found Cardoso overnight and asked Cardoso to find him a few smart guys to help him, and he clearly told Cardoso that he hoped to train these guys as potential knights.

In this era, there was no clear path to becoming a knight, except for noble children like Garys, who were sent to other lords' courts to receive knight training since childhood. There were also quite a few knights who were temporarily canonized, or simply called themselves knights.

Of course, in such a chaotic and war-torn era as the 12th century, any guy who claimed to be a knight was a true knight as long as he had the ability to challenge anyone who questioned his knighthood to a duel.

After all, to the lord, the authenticity of the knight is meaningless, but the knight's efficiency in killing people is very meaningful.

When Gailis proposed to select a few young men in the village to train as potential knights.

The first person Cardoso recommended was his second son, and then he mentioned several names in succession. They were all good guys who took the initiative to stand up during the day and were willing to follow Garys, but were not chosen by Garys just because they were a little older.

As for these young men, Garys was busy thinking and organizing the doctrines by himself, and he also had to take care of and teach those teenagers, so it was obviously impossible for him to lead them.

Simon was a long-time knight's squire, only a few months younger than Garys. However, because of his family background, he was not knighted as soon as he came of age like Garys.

After ten years of hard training, although Simon is still just a squire, his military quality and cultural accomplishment are much better than those wild knights.

Simon is capable enough to teach a few new servants, but his identity is somewhat questionable.

That's why this scene happened this morning. Garys personally knighted Simon as the Son of Jehovah.

After conferring the title of knight upon Simon, Gaillis sped up the process of dealing with the aftermath in Monterey Village.

First, he hurriedly wrote a letter, which he asked Caffey, the servant who had accompanied him to Monterey Village, to deliver to John in Scar Village.

The letter contains the following:
……

John:

May the Father’s grace be with you forever.

The situation in Monterey Village is getting back on track. Here, I accidentally captured some enemies and imprisoned them. Now I need you to send troops to receive them as soon as possible so that you can send these prisoners back to help us with the water conservancy project that is about to start.

The villagers here have gradually developed trust in me and see me as their protector. Taking this opportunity, I intend to further consolidate the influence of the Order in the village. To this end, I order you to select a loyal and reliable knight and a capable attendant to come here and use the weapons I have seized to train the young men in the village. This must be done in a way that does not require them to leave their jobs. In this way, they can master military skills in addition to their daily labor and prepare for the Order's future military operations.

Please proceed quickly, I expect you to carry out my orders as soon as possible.

May the glory of the Father shine in your heart,

Garys

……

After writing the letter and letting Kafi send it away, he called Simon to his side and distributed some of the captured supplies.

In the previous battle with Ahmed and his group, Gairis killed ten heavy infantrymen, and each of them was killed with a sword, without damaging the armor, so he got ten complete sets of excellent chain mail, as well as matching swords, shields, guns and bows. It can be seen that Ahmed's family carefully purchased these weapons and equipment, and of course now these weapons and equipment all belong to Gairis.

Five of them were given to Simon by Garys, who asked Simon to use them to arm his new recruits as training equipment.

The other five sets were left by Garys in Monterey Village, waiting for John's men to arrive to see how they would arrange them.

Finally, Gellis came to Cardoso's house again and explained many things before leaving.

"Half a month ago, I was called by the Lord and ascended to heaven. After being cleansed of my earthly sins, I met the Heavenly Father. Since then, I have known that I am the son of the Heavenly Father and have a mission given to me since birth."

"This desolate and broken land was once a mighty nation ruled by Heavenly Father, but now the king sits on the throne - Pheasant. The times have become chaotic and out of touch. I died with a knife wound in order to restore it to the human world."

"Cardoso, have you ever heard that the wrath of the Lord, the Father, will burn like a consuming fire until the sins of all the nations are completely wiped out?"

"Now, the kings and nobles of Jerusalem have sinned against the Lord because of their evil deeds. Their steps have strayed and they have stepped into the wrong path. They have turned away from the destiny and indulged in power, which has already caused the wrath of the Lord. To this day, the destruction of old Jerusalem is like the Jewish people drifting in the desert, just like the collapse of ancient Israel. It is already destined by the destiny. How can we go against the will of God?"

“The Father’s will will be done, like a river flowing smoothly. But He also said that the new kingdom will belong to the people, rising from the ashes, like a new dawn that will surely come and illuminate all nations.”

Apart from these words, the most crucial thing was that Gairis informed Cardoso of what was happening in Scar Village, letting him know that perhaps the next day or the day after tomorrow, Gairis's people would come to the village to take away the captives, and leave people in the village to assist Cardoso in training the villagers.

I hope that when the village of Cardoso needs to raise an army to assist the Order in the future, it will be able to provide truly well-trained and qualified soldiers.

……

"Lift your thighs! Take a step forward! Use your thighs to push yourself when you walk! Damn it, you at the end of the team! If you keep dragging your legs forward, you'll be left behind!"

On the path in the wilderness, Simon's powerful shouts never stopped.

Today, Garys and his group have left Monterey Village, and their number has increased from the original four to fifteen today.

Among these fifteen people, there were Garys, Isabel, Simon, five teenagers, and seven recruits. They were driving a carriage on the road.

Most people's luggage was placed on the carriage, so the journey was quite brisk.

But for the seven recruits, they were sweating profusely now.

For the purpose of physical training, Simon did not allow them to take off their armor, but this was enough to tire them out.

After all, this set of chain mail used by infantry often weighs 20 to 30 pounds.

　Starting from next Monday, for every 50 monthly tickets accumulated, one additional chapter will be added. This will last for a week. I hope you will support me!
　　(You don’t need monthly tickets this week. I won’t be able to make it to the top of the history new book list anyway, so please save some money and wait until next Monday.)
