Chapter 706: Astolfo and Roland

44th month: Charlemagne completely unified the Franks. Pope Hadrian of Rome personally crowned him, and Charlemagne officially became the emperor who unified the Franks.

"Wow..." Astolfo looked at this scene with admiration. "Charlemagne has become an emperor. I wonder when I will become famous."

Although Astolfo is a prince of England, he is not keen on the throne. Compared to becoming a king, he would rather become a great knight.

45th month: Charlemagne led his troops to sweep away all the barbarians within the Frankish territory. His number one knight, Roland, defeated the barbarian Great Knight Rinaldo one-on-one, and the barbarians submitted.

47th month: Charlemagne led his troops to Denmark. Denmark expressed submission, and the Danish prince Ogier voluntarily joined Charlemagne's Knights.

"Father, did you see that?"

Charlemagne looked at this scene happily. Sure enough, he still had the qualifications to become a king.

Father, watch well from heaven. I will definitely let the glory of the Franks shine over the entire European continent!

5th year, January: In order to recruit soldiers, Charlemagne held a knight tournament in Neustria. Countless knights came to enlist. In this tournament, a knight holding a long spear was invincible. Before him, all knights or warhorses would fall to the ground as soon as they were hit by him, so he fought his way to Charlemagne.

Looking at the heroic and extraordinary knight before him, Charlemagne looked at him with satisfaction and asked:

"Heroic knight, state your name."

Listening to Charlemagne's words, this knight held his head high and said: "My name is Astolfo!" (Note: The source text says 'Algalia' here, but the context implies the character introduced is the one who challenges Lin Ye).

Looking at the spirited Astolfo before him, Charlemagne became more and more satisfied and asked: "Very good, Astolfo, are you willing to become a warrior under my command?" ===== CHAPTER 708 =====
