The morning of September 3, 289 in the British Imperial calendar.
Pandragon, Baiyang palace, in the Council hall.
In the chamber, as before, the ministers stood on the left and the knights on the right.
Everyone present knows why they were called to this chamber today.
Today, a reward meeting will be held to reward Su Cheng, who just led 5000 people to defeat 30000 rebel troops.
The emperor had not yet arrived, so the people in the Council hall gathered in twos and threes to talk.
"I really didn't expect that the young man really succeeded. Under the huge military disadvantage of 1:6, he could defeat the rebel army with only a few hundred casualties."
"Didn't he say he never brought a soldier?"
"It's really unexpected. It seems that his military talent is very high. I'm afraid Eliza and enly are far inferior to him."
"It is said that he is only 17 years old."
"I don't know what reward he will get?"
"Su Cheng's identity is very special. He is not a man in the army, but a teacher of his highness Ilsa. In other words, he is just a civilian without a post. He can't reward him for promotion. I think he's just sealing him some money."
"If only he was rewarded with money, Su Cheng would get so much money that he didn't need to be a teacher anymore!"
"If he were a man in the army, how good he would be. If he were a man in the army, he must be trained. If he was a man in the army, I think the probability of him becoming an integrated knight is much greater than Eliza and enly."
……
Ethel, Eliza and enly stood in the front of the right side of the Council hall.
Eliza and enli both had gloomy faces, especially Eliza. When she heard that Su Cheng's military talent might be higher than Eliza, her face became even more ugly.
And enly was no better. His teeth were clenched tightly.
The two people who originally intended to see Su Cheng joke still can't accept the fact that Su Cheng, who has never joined the army or led a soldier, actually succeeded in defeating 30000 troops with only 5000 people.
Enly's heart roared:
How did he do it?! Why can he do it?!
Iser noticed that their state was wrong and whispered, "I always told you before, don't underestimate anyone, let alone be complacent. The reason why you can be complacent now is that you haven't found someone stronger than you."
After hearing Ethel's words, Eliza and enly's faces became more ugly.
"Father," whispered Eliza, "what kind of reward do you think Su Cheng will get?"
Iser mused a little, then whispered:
"He should also reward some money. After all, Su Cheng is neither a man in the army nor a man in politics. He is just a teacher. He can't reward him for his promotion. This merit can't reward him for his title, so he should be rewarded with a sum of money that he can't spend all his life."
Speaking of this, iselton said for a while and then went on:
"It's just... I got the news. Yesterday afternoon, Jacob invited Su Cheng to his residence for afternoon tea. Su Cheng stayed in Jacob's residence for a long time before he came out... My intuition tells me that the reward to Su Cheng today should not be so simple..."
"It won't be that simple?" Enly said in a cheap tone, "can you directly canonize him as a knight? In this way, Eliza's record of "the fastest person to become a knight" will be broken. "
Eliza, with a bad complexion, elbowed enly aside.
"Do you think it's possible?" Eliza said in a deep voice, "how can you become a knight only by virtue of the first World War..."
Ethel, who had been watching Eliza and enly, noticed that their faces were still very bad, so he said:
"What? Are you still unconvinced? Yes, Su Cheng defeated 30000 people with 5000 people. "
After hearing Ethel's words, Eliza and enly were silent with great tacit understanding.
After a while, Eliza squeezed words from between her teeth:
"This time... I was wrong... Unexpectedly, Su Cheng really has two sons..."
"Alas... You two." Ethel sighed heavily, "you are not the only two geniuses in this world. Take this opportunity to remember this truth."
"I'm......" Iser said to himself, "I also need to think about how to pull Su Cheng into the army. It's a waste of such a talent just to be a teacher... I have to find a way to pull Su Cheng into the army..."
"Mr. Iser!"
Just then, a familiar old voice came from Ethel's back.
Ethel immediately recognized the owner of the voice - Jacob!
Ethel turned and found Jacob standing behind him with a faint smile.
When they saw Jacob standing behind them, Eliza and enly quickly saluted Jacob.
Jacob waved to show that he didn't have to salute.
"Mr. Jacob," Ethel frowned slightly, "Why are you here?"
Iser asked this because when the meeting was held in the Council hall, Jacob, as the Minister of the Imperial Palace, often followed emperor gozewen and entered the Council hall through the side door of the Council hall.
Today, Jacob didn't come in through the side door with the emperor as usual - it's very rare.
After hearing Ethel's question, Jacob just smiled and said:
"I'm here just to tell Mr. Iser good news."
"Good news?" Iser wondered, "what's the good news?"
"Hehe, you don't have to worry about how to pull Su Cheng into the army anymore."
“！”
As soon as Jacob's voice fell, Ethel's eyes widened in vain.
Because after listening to Jacob, he seemed to realize something.
"Mr. Iser." Jacob said faintly with a smile on his face, "you still have to be more quick and decisive in the future, otherwise others may have done it for you when you are still thinking about the battle plan."
"Jacob... Aren't you --"
Just then——
"Your Majesty is here!"
A very loud voice came.
People gathered in twos and threes to talk in the conference hall quickly ended the conversation and stood back to their position. The original chaotic conference hall suddenly became quiet, and people stood neatly and quietly waiting for the coming emperor.
Emperor Ge zewen, dressed in his best clothes, came in slowly through the side door of the Council hall.
Although gozewen walked slowly, the side door was very close to the emperor's throne. Soon gozewen came to the throne and sat down.
After seeing that gozeven had been seated on the throne, Jacob ignored Iser next to him. With his hands on his back, he climbed the stairs with a slow pace and stood next to gozewen.
"I think everyone here knows what we are going to do when we gather in the council chamber today." Ge zewen said, "I don't like nonsense, so let's start directly! Start the reward Conference! "
After gozewen finished, he looked at Jacob beside him and passed a look to Jacob.
Jacob, who had worked with gozewen for many years and had a tacit understanding with each other, immediately understood it, took a few steps and said loudly:
"Call! Su Cheng! "
……
Patter, patter, patter
Rhythmic footsteps came from outside the conference hall, neither fast nor slow.
The people in the Council hall turned back one after another.
A man with black hair, black pupils and facial features that look both like grassland people and a little less like grassland people is slowly stepping into the Council hall.
The man's face was expressionless. He was wearing clothes that were shabby but extremely clean. This shabby clothes exuded a shabby smell all the time.
Su Cheng, who wore this shabby clothes and entered the conference hall, looked so out of place and even made people laugh compared with other people in the conference hall.
But now no one in the chamber dare to laugh.
Because they all know that the man in shabby clothes defeated 30000 rebel troops with 5000 people in only 21 days a few days ago and returned smoothly.
Eliza looked at Su Cheng, who was walking slowly to the emperor. She was always conceited and arrogant. It was hard for her to accept the fact that Su Cheng won more with less and returned with a big victory.
Enly's eyes at Su Cheng were similar to Eliza's.
Soon, Su Cheng came to ge zewen, knelt down on one knee, held his right hand into a fist on the ground and lowered his head.
Jacob took a piece of paper from the bodyguard next to him, spread it out, looked at the paper and read aloud:
"Su Cheng, on August 10, 289, led 5000 troops to defeat 30000 rebels, successfully cut off the heads of three leaders of the rebel army and brought them back to calm the rebellion, made great contributions to the Empire, and gave Su Cheng money - 8 million British francs to appreciate Su Cheng's contribution! He also named Su Cheng -- "
Jacob put down the paper in his hand, took a deep breath, fully breathed, and shouted:
"Xingui Knight!"
……
silent.
Strangely silent
The whole Council hall became silent.
After everyone in the hall was stunned, their eyes turned to Su Cheng who was kneeling on one knee.
Everyone's expressions have become wonderful and diverse. Some people are stunned and some people can't believe it.
Eliza looked at Su Cheng with a shocked face, and her attractive red lips were slightly open.
Enly murmured, "impossible... How can this be..."
Ethel held his chest with both hands, closed his eyes and whispered, "I see... Jacob, have you helped me pull Su Cheng into the army... And directly helped him become a new laurel Knight... This is really..."
Then Ethel smiled bitterly and shook his head.
……
After a brief silence, the whole Council hall suddenly became noisy.
"Xingui knight? Did I hear you right? Want to seal this Su Cheng Xingui knight? "
"This can't be described as a step up to the sky, can it? Ten team captain and one thousand team captain have not done these duties for a day. They have directly become knights? "
"Anyway, it's rising too fast, isn't it? After only one battle, he was called a knight! "
"It's only 24 days since the day he started to fight, isn't it? It took only 24 days to become a knight? Who is the fastest Knight we have now? "
"I remember Eliza, the daughter of Lord Iser. She joined the army at the age of 15 and spent a year and 10 months becoming a knight. She was the fastest person to become a knight before today."
"It seems that Eliza's record has been broken! Eliza became a knight in one year and ten months, while Su Cheng became a knight in only 24 days! "
"Becoming a knight in 24 days... Is that too exaggerated?! I'm afraid no one can break this record in the future. "
"Above the New Guangxi knight is the double oak knight, then the fanlan knight, the four Royal knight, and finally the integrated knight. Su Cheng spent 24 days to become a new Guangxi knight. I don't know how long it will take him to become a double oak knight in the future, and is it possible to become an integrated Knight..."
……
The meeting hall became noisy, and there were many conversations. Jacob frowned and paused, and then said:
"Be quiet!"
Aware of the displeasure in Jacob's voice, the people in the conversation closed their mouths and the whole Council hall became quiet again.
Seeing the newly quiet Council hall, Jacob nodded with satisfaction, and then retreated behind the emperor gozewen.
At this time, gozewen had received a beautiful sword from the bodyguard.
From scabbard to handguard, it is a long white exquisite sword.
Ge zewen stood up and walked to Su Cheng.
"Well, Su Cheng." Jacob said, "please read your knight's oath."
Knowing that it was necessary to read the knight's oath, Su Cheng opened his mouth and said loudly:
"I will protect those who cannot fight."
"I will destroy evil people."
"I will take back my sword from the civilians."
"I will be honest with my compatriots."
"I will defend the British Empire to the death! Until my last drop of blood! "
Su Cheng had memorized these five vows last night. Before entering the conference hall, he was also reviewing these five vows again and again.
Yesterday Jacob told him that he needed to shout out this oath when he was knighted. Jacob also specially asked him not to recite the wrong oath.
After hearing Su Cheng's oath, GE zewen "miso" pulled out the beautifully shaped sword in his hand, flattened the sword and put it against Su Cheng's right shoulder.
"I am here to officially canonize you as a knight of Xingui!"
After Ge zewen shouted loudly, he inserted the sword back into the scabbard, then held the sword in both hands and held it directly above Su Cheng's head.
Su Cheng raised his hands in time and held the sword over his head.
This is the last part of the Knights' canonization ceremony. Every Knight will take a sword from the emperor. This sword is of great significance to Knights. People call this sword "Knight Sword", which is equivalent to a symbol of identity. Only with this sword taken from the emperor can you be regarded as a real Knight! If you make a mistake and get rid of your knighthood, your majesty will take back the sword.
So this sword is more important than life for some knights who value reputation.
Su Cheng took the sword from GE zewen. So far, the knighthood ceremony was over.
Su Cheng handed the sword to his left hand, then stood up, turned and faced the people in the conference hall behind him.
Everyone in the conference hall focused on Su Cheng.
Suddenly, there was applause.
It's Ethel clapping.
Iser looked at Su Cheng holding the knight's sword with a happy face.
Iser's applause seemed so abrupt in the silent chamber.
However, soon someone applauded. The applause became bigger and bigger. The applause spread rapidly. Soon, everyone in the Council hall clapped, and even gozewen and Jacob were smiling and clapping.
Eliza gently clapped her hands while biting her lower lip. Although the applause was so small that the mosquito humming was louder than her applause, her face was full of unwilling color.
Eliza loves her title of "the fastest knight in the history of the British Empire", which is her most proud and proud title.
But, unexpectedly, from today on, her favorite title will no longer belong to her.
From today on, the title belongs to the person she despised.
At the thought of this, Eliza felt strongly unwilling!
This emotion called "unwilling" almost burst out of her chest.
At this time, enly standing next to Eliza not only didn't applaud, but his face was quite bad.
Because he suddenly remembered that Eliza's mate selection condition: I am a knight, and I only want to find a husband who is a knight in the future, but I will only like a knight stronger than me!
Now... Su Cheng is also a knight
Or a knight who can win 30000 with 5000 people without experience and become a knight of Xingui knight in only 24 days
At the thought of this, a strong sense of unease and fear wrapped enli's whole body!
Enli raised his eyes and cast his resentful eyes on Su Cheng standing on the ladder.
In the conference hall, accompanied by applause, there were some cheers.
We all celebrate sincerely or falsely that the Empire has a new Xingui knight, and the Empire has a rising general!
Listening to the rainstorm like applause and cheers, Su Cheng couldn't help surging up one after another. The corners of his mouth couldn't help turning up slightly. He grabbed the five fingers of the knight's sword harder and firmly grasped the knight's sword in the palm of his hand!
I, Su Cheng, am now the new laurel Knight of the British Empire!
……
The chronicle of the British Empire says:
On September 3, 289 in the imperial calendar of the British Empire, Su Cheng was canonized as a new laurel knight, breaking the previous record of "becoming the fastest Knight" of Eliza. The total time for Eliza to become a new laurel knight was one year and 10 months, while the total time for Su Cheng to become a new laurel knight was - 24 days!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

I think he's just sealing him some money.""If only he was rewarded with money, Su Cheng would get so much money that he didn't need to be a teacher anymore!""If he were a man in the army, how good he would be. If he were a man in the army, he must be trained. If he was a man in the army, I think the probability of him becoming an integrated knight is much greater than Eliza and enly."Ethel, Eliza and enly stood in the front of the right side of the Council hall.Eliza and enli both had gloomy faces, especially Eliza. When she heard that Su Cheng's military talent might be higher than Eliza, her face became even more ugly.And enly was no better. His teeth were clenched tightly.The two people who originally intended to see Su Cheng joke still can't accept the fact that Su Cheng, who has never joined the army or led a soldier, actually succeeded in defeating 30000 troops with only 5000 people.Enly's heart roared:How did he do it?! Why can he do it?!Iser noticed that their state was wrong and whispered, "I always told you before, don't underestimate anyone, let alone be complacent. The reason why you can be complacent now is that you haven't found someone stronger than you."After hearing Ethel's words, Eliza and enly's faces became more ugly."Father," whispered Eliza, "what kind of reward do you think Su Cheng will get?"Iser mused a little, then whispered:"He should also reward some money. After all, Su Cheng is neither a man in the army nor a man in politics. He is just a teacher. He can't reward him for his promotion. This merit can't reward him for his title, so he should be rewarded with a sum of money that he can't spend all his life."Speaking of this, iselton said for a while and then went on:"It's just... I got the news. Yesterday afternoon, Jacob invited Su Cheng to his residence for afternoon tea. Su Cheng stayed in Jacob's residence for a long time before he came out... My intuition tells me that the reward to Su Cheng today should not be so simple...""It won't be that simple?" Enly said in a cheap tone, "can you directly canonize him as a knight? In this way, Eliza's record of "the fastest person to become a knight" will be broken. "Eliza, with a bad complexion, elbowed enly aside."Do you think it's possible?" Eliza said in a deep voice, "how can you become a knight only by virtue of the first World War..."Ethel, who had been watching Eliza and enly, noticed that their faces were still very bad, so he said:"What? Are you still unconvinced? Yes, Su Cheng defeated 30000 people with 5000 people. "After hearing Ethel's words, Eliza and enly were silent with great tacit understanding.After a while, Eliza squeezed words from between her teeth:"This time... I was wrong... Unexpectedly, Su Cheng really has two sons...""Alas... You two." Ethel sighed heavily, "you are not the only two geniuses in this world. Take this opportunity to remember this truth.""I'm......" Iser said to himself, "I also need to think about how to pull Su Cheng into the army. It's a waste of such a talent just to be a teacher... I have to find a way to pull Su Cheng into the army...""Mr. Iser!"Just then, a familiar old voice came from Ethel's back.Ethel immediately recognized the owner of the voice - Jacob!Ethel turned and found Jacob standing behind him with a faint smile.When they saw Jacob standing behind them, Eliza and enly quickly saluted Jacob.Jacob waved to show that he didn't have to salute."Mr. Jacob," Ethel frowned slightly, "Why are you here?"Iser asked this because when the meeting was held in the Council hall, Jacob, as the Minister of the Imperial Palace, often followed emperor gozewen and entered the Council hall through the side door of the Council hall.Today, Jacob didn't come in through the side door with the emperor as usual - it's very rare.After hearing Ethel's question, Jacob just smiled and said:"I'm here just to tell Mr. Iser good news.""Good news?" Iser wondered, "what's the good news?""Hehe, you don't have to worry about how to pull Su Cheng into the army anymore."As soon as Jacob's voice fell, Ethel's eyes widened in vain.Because after listening to Jacob, he seemed to realize something."Mr. Iser." Jacob said faintly with a smile on his face, "you still have to be more quick and decisive in the future, otherwise others may have done it for you when you are still thinking about the battle plan.""Jacob... Aren't you --"Just then"Your Majesty is here!"A very loud voice came.People gathered in twos and threes to talk in the conference hall quickly ended the conversation and stood back to their position. The original chaotic conference hall suddenly became quiet, and people stood neatly and quietly waiting for the coming emperor.Emperor Ge zewen, dressed in his best clothes, came in slowly through the side door of the Council hall.Although gozewen walked slowly, the side door was very close to the emperor's throne. Soon gozewen came to the throne and sat down.After seeing that gozeven had been seated on the throne, Jacob ignored Iser next to him. With his hands on his back, he climbed the stairs with a slow pace and stood next to gozewen."I think everyone here knows what we are going to do when we gather in the council chamber today." Ge zewen said, "I don't like nonsense, so let's start directly! Start the reward Conference! "After gozewen finished, he looked at Jacob beside him and passed a look to Jacob.Jacob, who had worked with gozewen for many years and had a tacit understanding with each other, immediately understood it, took a few steps and said loudly:"Call! Su Cheng! "Patter, patter, patterRhythmic footsteps came from outside the conference hall, neither fast nor slow.The people in the Council hall turned back one after another.A man with black hair, black pupils and facial features that look both like grassland people and a little less like grassland people is slowly stepping into the Council hall.The man's face was expressionless. He was wearing clothes that were shabby but extremely clean. This shabby clothes exuded a shabby smell all the time.Su Cheng, who wore this shabby clothes and entered the conference hall, looked so out of place and even made people laugh compared with other people in the conference hall.But now no one in the chamber dare to laugh.Because they all know that the man in shabby clothes defeated 30000 rebel troops with 5000 people in only 21 days a few days ago and returned smoothly.Eliza looked at Su Cheng, who was walking slowly to the emperor. She was always conceited and arrogant. It was hard for her to accept the fact that Su Cheng won more with less and returned with a big victory.Enly's eyes at Su Cheng were similar to Eliza's.Soon, Su Cheng came to ge zewen, knelt down on one knee, held his right hand into a fist on the ground and lowered his head.Jacob took a piece of paper from the bodyguard next to him, spread it out, looked at the paper and read aloud:"Su Cheng, on August 10, 289, led 5000 troops to defeat 30000 rebels, successfully cut off the heads of three leaders of the rebel army and brought them back to calm the rebellion, made great contributions to the Empire, and gave Su Cheng money - 8 million British francs to appreciate Su Cheng's contribution! He also named Su Cheng -- "Jacob put down the paper in his hand, took a deep breath, fully breathed, and shouted:"Xingui Knight!"silent.Strangely silentThe whole Council hall became silent.After everyone in the hall was stunned, their eyes turned to Su Cheng who was kneeling on one knee.Everyone's expressions have become wonderful and diverse. Some people are stunned and some people can't believe it.Eliza looked at Su Cheng with a shocked face, and her attractive red lips were slightly open.Enly murmured, "impossible... How can this be..."Ethel held his chest with both hands, closed his eyes and whispered, "I see... Jacob, have you helped me pull Su Cheng into the army... And directly helped him become a new laurel Knight... This is really..."Then Ethel smiled bitterly and shook his head.After a brief silence, the whole Council hall suddenly became noisy."Xingui knight? Did I hear you right? Want to seal this Su Cheng Xingui knight? ""This can't be described as a step up to the sky, can it? Ten team captain and one thousand team captain have not done these duties for a day. They have directly become knights? ""Anyway, it's rising too fast, isn't it? After only one battle, he was called a knight! ""It's only 24 days since the day he started to fight, isn't it? It took only 24 days to become a knight? Who is the fastest Knight we have now? ""I remember Eliza, the daughter of Lord Iser. She joined the army at the age of 15 and spent a year and 10 months becoming a knight. She was the fastest person to become a knight before today.""It seems that Eliza's record has been broken! Eliza became a knight in one year and ten months, while Su Cheng became a knight in only 24 days! ""Becoming a knight in 24 days... Is that too exaggerated?! I'm afraid no one can break this record in the future. ""Above the New Guangxi knight is the double oak knight, then the fanlan knight, the four Royal knight, and finally the integrated knight. Su Cheng spent 24 days to become a new Guangxi knight. I don't know how long it will take him to become a double oak knight in the future, and is it possible to become an integrated Knight..."The meeting hall became noisy, and there were many conversations. Jacob frowned and paused, and then said:"Be quiet!"Aware of the displeasure in Jacob's voice, the people in the conversation closed their mouths and the whole Council hall became quiet again.Seeing the newly quiet Council hall, Jacob nodded with satisfaction, and then retreated behind the emperor gozewen.At this time, gozewen had received a beautiful sword from the bodyguard.From scabbard to handguard, it is a long white exquisite sword.Ge zewen stood up and walked to Su Cheng."Well, Su Cheng." Jacob said, "please read your knight's oath."Knowing that it was necessary to read the knight's oath, Su Cheng opened his mouth and said loudly:"I will protect those who cannot fight.""I will destroy evil people.""I will take back my sword from the civilians.""I will be honest with my compatriots.""I will defend the British Empire to the death! Until my last drop of blood! "Su Cheng had memorized these five vows last night. Before entering the conference hall, he was also reviewing these five vows again and again.Yesterday Jacob told him that he needed to shout out this oath when he was knighted. Jacob also specially asked him not to recite the wrong oath.After hearing Su Cheng's oath, GE zewen "miso" pulled out the beautifully shaped sword in his hand, flattened the sword and put it against Su Cheng's right shoulder."I am here to officially canonize you as a knight of Xingui!"After Ge zewen shouted loudly, he inserted the sword back into the scabbard, then held the sword in both hands and held it directly above Su Cheng's head.Su Cheng raised his hands in time and held the sword over his head.This is the last part of the Knights' canonization ceremony. Every Knight will take a sword from the emperor. This sword is of great significance to Knights. People call this sword "Knight Sword", which is equivalent to a symbol of identity. Only with this sword taken from the emperor can you be regarded as a real Knight! If you make a mistake and get rid of your knighthood, your majesty will take back the sword.So this sword is more important than life for some knights who value reputation.Su Cheng took the sword from GE zewen. So far, the knighthood ceremony was over.Su Cheng handed the sword to his left hand, then stood up, turned and faced the people in the conference hall behind him.Everyone in the conference hall focused on Su Cheng.Suddenly, there was applause.It's Ethel clapping.Iser looked at Su Cheng holding the knight's sword with a happy face.Iser's applause seemed so abrupt in the silent chamber.However, soon someone applauded. The applause became bigger and bigger. The applause spread rapidly. Soon, everyone in the Council hall clapped, and even gozewen and Jacob were smiling and clapping.Eliza gently clapped her hands while biting her lower lip. Although the applause was so small that the mosquito humming was louder than her applause, her face was full of unwilling color.Eliza loves her title of "the fastest knight in the history of the British Empire", which is her most proud and proud title.But, unexpectedly, from today on, her favorite title will no longer belong to her.From today on, the title belongs to the person she despised.At the thought of this, Eliza felt strongly unwilling!This emotion called "unwilling" almost burst out of her chest.At this time, enly standing next to Eliza not only didn't applaud, but his face was quite bad.Because he suddenly remembered that Eliza's mate selection condition: I am a knight, and I only want to find a husband who is a knight in the future, but I will only like a knight stronger than me!Now... Su Cheng is also a knightOr a knight who can win 30000 with 5000 people without experience and become a knight of Xingui knight in only 24 daysAt the thought of this, a strong sense of unease and fear wrapped enli's whole body!Enli raised his eyes and cast his resentful eyes on Su Cheng standing on the ladder.In the conference hall, accompanied by applause, there were some cheers.We all celebrate sincerely or falsely that the Empire has a new Xingui knight, and the Empire has a rising general!Listening to the rainstorm like applause and cheers, Su Cheng couldn't help surging up one after another. The corners of his mouth couldn't help turning up slightly. He grabbed the five fingers of the knight's sword harder and firmly grasped the knight's sword in the palm of his hand!I, Su Cheng, am now the new laurel Knight of the British Empire!The chronicle of the British Empire says:On September 3, 289 in the imperial calendar of the British Empire, Su Cheng was canonized as a new laurel knight, breaking the previous record of "becoming the fastest Knight" of Eliza. The total time for Eliza to become a new laurel knight was one year and 10 months, while the total time for Su Cheng to become a new laurel knight was - 24 days!
