Additionally, they have 20-300 members of the Preparatory Knight Order. These individuals are not at the level of Armed Attendants but are Ranger Knights preparing to take the entry examination for the order. Many of them are descendants of Kingdom Knights, gathered from all corners, with at least the strength of an Apprentice Knight.
Therefore, aside from the Flame Sun Knight Order and the Fallen Wolf Mercenary Corps members, the number of elite knights directly affiliated with the Hesse Territory is far from reaching a thousand in scale.
However, if we include these Church Knights and the cavalry of the Free People's Corps, the number of elite knights that the Hesse Territory can mobilize reaches even up to a thousand.
In any world, a thousand gleaming heavy cavalry charging forward is an overwhelming, invincible military force.
