After dosing of a few minutes and living in his fantasy he heard Crowley calling him.
'young mater is everything alright'.
Damien looked at him and said ' all is well all is well could please ask the knights who would be staying to join in my study after an hour from now after I would like to meet our resident alchemist and finally the blacksmiths as for dear jean I hope you will get me the summary as fast as possible in the next few days'.
They both answered 'it would be young baron as you wish'.
Then Damien stood and started walking to the study and said to him' could ask the kitchen to send another glass'.
' as you wish a will ask them immediately '
He kept walking to his study in it their is a small library containing probably some history and general knowledge book which he should read to more understand about this world and the races living it which he could from his fragmented memory they where many with different origin some even claim to be the descended of some gods or mythical creature.
a desk well designed one of could say plus a couch chairs and table where he could make metting with his subject.
A huge walled glass window from which he could see the town and probably sunlight shone brighter here but the food thing the desk is placed just outside the range of where the sun will shine saving him from the debuff he could receive from it and also the hassle to explain why he want to change desk placement.
He must say while this Dylan is a traitor he has some good taste.
He went in and sat in the lotus position in order to refine the blood he just consumed as he felt the barrier between low and middle level is getting weaker another session of refining and he could break the barrier to become a middle 1 level knight vampire .
which made him think he has to find time to train his abilities and be familiar with his new body and gained powers.
then he remembered the artifact making technique he should ask Crowley to get him a good ring in order to make it and he made a mental note about it.
After an hour he heard a knock on the door 'lord could we come in'.
After changing the sitting position he said' yes you could come in'.
The door opened Crowley and five other people came in with him he put the glass of blood and standed beside you after he started presenting them to you saying :'
these are your knights my lord who sworn an oath to protect you and serve you with their life starting from the left Clark, Siegfried,Bruce,fenredic and mirind '.
They said in unison ' we are glad to serve my lord'.
He stared at them Clark had bleu eyes and green hear, Siegfried and Bruce they had red hair and black the brown eyes respectively and finaly fendric had green eyes and bleu hear as for mirind white hear and dark bleu eyes.
They all has a good build of a knigh strong arms high shoulders and muscles typical of a knight.
the difference in hair colour probably has something to do with their cultivation technique some had this side effects or the native homeland as this are probably not part of the core of the family.
more likely they where bought young from slave traders or they where orphans one of the two as anyone who has any influence in the duchy would have bribed his way out of this.
Damien looked at his knight and probably the core of his army and futur clan of vampires said' I am happy to be the lord of such great knight I already feel safe but feeling aside as lord and you as my retinue a have to make a few things clear first I demande absolute loyalty one which will be an oath made to the will of our world.
secondly I will reward anyone who make an achievement or fulfil any demade he ask for within my power as long it's doesn't conflict with my morals and principles.
thirdly you would be the nucleus of the knight order I wish to establish in the future so I hope you will led by example and be a role model for all the squires and recruit who will join us so you accept and last but not least we will be making a reform of the army from the beginning as reforming a small group is better than waiting for later as for the specific I will draft it tonight and will discuss if it's applicabable or not'.
They looked at eachother and to clarck and nodded then they got on one knee 'here before the will of the planet we swear to heed every commande of our lord as long it doesn't ask us to hurt ourselves or anything immoral '
While sipping his drink said ' I can accept such oath so first thing is first i here by declare Clark to be the commander in chef if the baron army and the four of you his adjoint next I hope you will chose one
to be in charge of drilling the soldiers and later I hope to implement in some new methodes and the tactics I found in some old Manuels Back in the library of the grand-duchy a will write it and give to you including a new way of soldier division and naming I will give to you tomorrow and discuss try to implement them and hopefully they will prove their usefulness and supervise the recruitment '.
Stopped for a seconde and continues ' and I hope to come one of you to be in charge of logistics to be in charge of the food arms and pay of the soldiers and lastly but not last to be in charge of intelligence gathering and organising a light cavalry squad to act both a scout and scree for the army and rely orders when needed '.
Advancing toward him Clark ' I will accept your appointment lord and I will distribute each one of my colleagues so the position in which they will best serve you'
Glad from his answer ' I am happy to hear as for the recruitment I think we should at least have around 1000 soldiers for security and for ending the rebellion led by the traitor Dylan but you should enlarge it after seeing our logistics and affordable it which I will be able to give in few days but nonetheless you should start drilling the ones we have from tomorrow and after talking with the chamberlain about the weapons in the armour a would put a notice for recruitment '
Clark heared this and said ' we will head your commade lord fendric Will start tomorrow drilling the soldiers in the tactics you provide tonight and will be helped by me Siegfried while Bruce will be in charge of intelligence gathering and should to information gathering around the city with the squires as for marind will be on stand by until you give the order for recruitment to make the nessecary arrangements '
Happy with the arrangement made by his chief of staff ' you can excuse your self' .
They saluted and left you with Crowley who was Marvelled at how you Handled the knights but sceptical about the tactics you talked about.
