Alien Knights

The name "Muxi Harbor" has been around as early as 150 years ago, but ironically, in such a long time, there are only a handful of fishing boats going out to sea from here.

Fortunately, the establishment of the Muxi Kingdom changed everything completely.

In the early morning of the winter snow, Morgan commanded his people to move the food and goods purchased by the Southern Empire from the bottom warehouse of the cargo ship to the wooden warehouse at the port.

Facing the slightly fishy sea breeze, Morgan raised his head and looked around Muxi Port.

The northernmost building facing the sea is a shipyard jointly built by the North Islanders and the Kingdom.

Ships are the most expensive property of the North Islanders, and shipbuilding is a sacred and noble profession in the North Island.

The construction of a ship starts with the shipbuilder going to the priest to listen to the teachings of the gods, and then he has to go into the deep mountains and dense forests alone to pick out the sacred wood in the revelation, and finally spend a whole year carving and completing the work.

The decision to bring the North Island's shipbuilding technology into the Muxi Kingdom was originally opposed by the elders of the Blackhead tribe, but Morgan pushed through all the arguments and led to the construction of the shipyard.

In return, Todd handed over one third of Muxi Kingdom's maritime trade and transportation work to the Blackhead tribe.

Further to the south is the main body of the port area. The plank roads and berths are evenly distributed on the shore. Two three-sail merchant ships from the Abbasid Empire and seven cargo ships from the North Island stopped smoothly in the ice-free port of Muxi.

Morgan counted the goods, and after confirming that they were correct, he patted the falling snow on his body, climbed up the ramp, and walked towards the inner city of the kingdom.

Due to the heavy snow, the route to the North Island was temporarily closed, and Morgan had to stay in Twilight City until the beginning of spring. In fact, he is not disgusted with not being able to go home during the New Year. Compared with the backward and harsh village environment of Beidao, Muxi City, which has food, good wine, drama, fighting, and women, is the love of the young patriarch's heart.

There are no more than 200 Beidao people living in the Muxi Kingdom, and they all live in the gathering area in the north of Wangcheng, where there is a concrete longhouse with the architectural style of Beidao. Few people are willing to move out of the gathering area and live in the city. The reason is very simple. It is not easy to eliminate the scars and barriers left by the defense of Muxi.

Before entering the gate of the gathering area, Morgan heard the sound of fierce fighting and wailing from a distance.

As if he had become accustomed to this movement, Morgan pushed open the door and walked in.

A Bei Dao soldier holding a cracked wooden shield fell heavily at his feet with his butt facing backwards.

The leader of the Valkyrie, Brunhilde, waved his fists and shouted at the cowering fighters around him, "You are a bunch of slow-moving weak chickens! Your comfortable life has made you completely lose your fighting instinct!"

When Morgan heard this, he subconsciously touched his stomach, the circle of fat that replaced the abdominal muscles, lowered his head involuntarily, and chose to avoid the Valkyrie.

Heaven fails to fulfill one's wishes.

"Morgan!"

Brunhilde broke the stake beside him with a punch, and asked the black-headed patriarch: "I asked you to ask, have you answered it?!"

Morgan nodded hastily and said, "I have already submitted an application to the Kingdom's Legion Commander, Lord Cumberland, that we want to join the war, but it's a pity..."

The Valkyrie stared: "What a pity?!"

"His Majesty has never agreed."

Brunhilde was annoyed, kicked away the wood in front of her, put two fingers in her mouth, snorted, and a white horse galloped in front of her.

Watching the Valkyrie get on her horse, she turned her horse's head and headed out the door. Morgan was in a hurry, he rushed to the horse and shouted: "Master Valkyrie, where are you going?!"

"When we went out to plunder, the king didn't think of us; when we attacked the mine, the king still didn't think of us. If this continues, without the nourishment of war, you will eventually become a bunch of useless waste!" Brunhilde patted the mane of his mount, and the horseman stood up, scaring Morgan to step aside.

Brunhilde rushed out of the camp on horseback, and said among the crowd: "Go away! You useless bastard! Now I want the king to fulfill the promise he made to me!"

Knights headquarters, meeting hall.

"By next May, half of the royal city will be completed. By then, His Majesty will be able to move there." Brother Qiao tightened his neckline and moved closer to the stove.

Todd, who was sitting on the throne, shook his head: "I still like this place better than the deserted royal city."

Cumberland looked at the tactical map on the table, and when he heard this, he wanted to say "this is not in accordance with the etiquette", but he finally chose to remain silent when he looked at the king sitting alone on a high place.

Jemro stood beside Rachel, changed into brand new clothes, and took off the restraint on his left hand.

Following the eyes of the people around him, he looked at the two people in the center of the long table. A young woman was beautiful, and the other middle-aged man was elegant and calm. The two were reporting the construction progress of the cathedral to Todd.

If I remember correctly, the female name seems to be Mary, and the male name is Elijah.

Jemro stroked his chin and smiled slightly.

"The frame structure of the church has been erected, and a total of 83 support columns are used. The wind and snow have been heavy in the past few days, and the workshop has already made a batch of reed grass covers, and..."

Listening to Mary's introduction, Todd nodded slightly. The woman with the ability of "super memory" has a unique talent in data recording. It usually takes dozens of people to memorize things, but she only needs five minutes to remember them. If this ability can be replicated, then the entire Muxi Kingdom will be able to develop rapidly in terms of productivity and scientific research level. It is a pity that the "Super Memory" ability is not a bacterial ability, nor is it a parasite ability. Like Rachel and Karin, it is a genetic ability that cannot be copied, but can only be inherited from parent to child.

After Mary finished speaking, Elijah continued: "Your Majesty, at our invitation, a group of scholars from the Holy Land Province (up to the Orthodox Church parish) arrived in Muxi City yesterday evening. Their expertise covers many aspects. Many of them are very interested in your new "patent law". I hope to get your permission to meet you."

Rachel put the thumb of her right hand on her lips, and her teeth were gently grinding the nails of her thumb, with no expression on her face.

Todd thought about it, and seeing it didn't seem like a bad thing, just when he was about to speak, there was a noise from the gate of the headquarters.

Huggins, who was in charge of security work, frowned, grabbed a guard beside him, and whispered, "Go and see what's going on?!"

After the guard left for a while, he ran back in a panic: "Your Majesty, there is a woman who calls herself Brunhilde and says she wants to see you."

Todd froze.

Huggins snapped, "Didn't you see the meeting going on?"

The guard gave the officer a smile that was uglier than crying: "The guard outside the door can't seem to stop her..."

"What?!" Huggins' face was as black as the bottom of a pot. "Four knights, plus twelve sergeants, and half a regiment of infantry, can't stop a woman?!"

Todd stood up from the throne and patted Huggins on the shoulder: "Let's go out together to see what's going on. The meeting is temporarily closed."

A group of people in the meeting hall followed the king to the main square of the Knights' Headquarters, and saw a scene that left people dumbfounded.

Four heavily armed "Successor" knights surrounded a Valkyrie warrior wearing a feather crown, and after taking turns to attack, they couldn't gain any upper hand.

Under the attack of the four of them, this woman from the North Island who served the gods was like a butterfly gliding among the flowers, evading every attack without delay, but attacking the enemy's weak point without any delay.

A knight raised his long sword and slashed at Brunnhilde's arm. The latter only slightly turned his body, and the blade smashed into the air along the tip of her nose. The Valkyrie raised her elbow slightly, and with half a second of body dislocation, an elbow hit the neck where the knight's helmet and plate armor were connected, just avoiding the protection of the "keel". Under such a heavy blow, even the successors with "pain resistance" and "regeneration" could not recover from kneeling on the ground for a long time because of poor blood circulation and lack of oxygen in the brain.

Another knight holding a two-handed sword raised the blade flat and stabbed towards the Valkyrie's face. Brunhilde untied the spear behind his back, and after playing the spear flower, he actually put the tip of the spear against the blade of the sword, and swung the attack with ingenuity. Then she swung the spear momentarily again, and hit the knight hard on the knee, forcing the latter to lose his footing and fall to the ground.

In just a few breaths, the four "Successor" knights were knocked to the ground by Brunhilde, but she looked like she hadn't done her best.

Huggins opened his eyes wide and murmured, "My God! How did this woman do it?"
