Chapter 0518: Confession
Renard was led by the Janissaries to turn left and right, and finally came to the door of King Ferdinand's study, and he hurriedly straightened his clothes, showed a humble smile, and then knocked on the door gently.
After waiting for a few seconds, Ferdinand's pretended deep voice came from inside: "Come in." β
After receiving the answer, Renard pushed open the door and walked in.
Looking around the study, the scene in it surprised him.
Leander and Duke Edmond's two sons-in-law were all inside at this time, and the three of them were on the sofa, and when they saw Lei Ye come in, they all showed welcoming smiles.
Renard instantly realized that King Ferdinand had called them over to carefully discuss the matter of dealing with the Creighton family.
Count LΓΆrt was a loyal supporter of the king, and it didn't matter if he wasn't there, after all, he would carry out any orders of the king.
Renard first glanced at his uncle Leander, then strode towards King Ferdinand, bowed and greeted him without humility or arrogance: "See Your Majesty." β
King Ferdinand nodded in return, and then pointed to the sofa opposite and said, "You're welcome, just sit down." β
Renard knew that the young king did not like Rory's rambling manners, so he did not talk nonsense, and sat down beside Leander as instructed.
At this time, Ferdinand's face was full of smiles, which can be called a spring breeze, and it is estimated that the support of Renard and Duke Edmund gave him the confidence to fight against the two major families.
After Renard sat down, he glanced at the four people in front of him and said in a sincere tone, "Thank you for your support at the court." β
With Ferdinand's conceited temper and personality, coupled with his noble status, it is unprecedented to be able to say the word "thanks".
Except for Renard, the other three hurriedly got up and said: Don't dare.
Leander said: "As Your Majesty's courtier, it is my honor to share your worries. β
Ferdinand smiled and nodded, motioned for them to sit down, and then said frankly: "Everyone should know my purpose in calling you here, and they also know why I want to take the lead in person, so I won't beat around the bush." β
"The Cronin family and the Clayton family have wolf ambitions and want to split the Arthurian kingdom, and I will never allow it
When something like this happens, I can tolerate them supporting their own troops, but I can't stand them starting from scratch. β
"Therefore, I am preparing to take the royal expedition in person, nominally to quell the evil plague in Kale County, but in fact to conquer the Creighton family. β
Everyone has long known each other's thoughts, and now they don't feel any surprise when they say it.
Seeing that the four of them did not speak, Ferdinand continued: "I want to hear your opinion now on whether you are sure of dealing with the Creighton family. β
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, and finally Leander, the oldest and most senior, spoke: "It depends on whether the Cronin family intervenes in this matter." β
In fact, you don't have to think about it to know that the two families are in the same spirit, and if the Creighton family is attacked, they will never sit idly by, otherwise it will be the end of cold lips and teeth.
Ferdinand took a deep breath: "This is also what I am more worried about, as you can see, now that the Northern Legion and the Western Legion are not under my control, it is obvious who they are loyal to. β
"The Creighton family has been in business in Kale County for hundreds of years, and the 30,000 defenders there are at the head of their horses. β
"In addition to these armies, the two families also raised a lot of private armies, as well as those mercenaries scattered all over the country, and it is estimated that thirty percent of them are their people. β
Listening to the other party's description, Renard's expression was a little surprised, it turned out that the other party knew many things better than himself.
It's right to think about it, with the Marquis of Troope in charge of the Kingdom's Intelligence Department, I'm afraid there are few things that can be hidden from the king's eyes.
Renard lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said: "In fact, the key to solving the problem is still on the Marquis Quentin and the Marquis Sidney, the two of them are the spiritual pillars of the two families, if they can be eliminated, the form will be reversed in an instant." β
Speaking of this, he sighed helplessly: "I attended the Marquis Quentin's birthday banquet yesterday and saw the two of them, and it would be nice if I could inform you in time to keep them." β
When Ferdinand heard this, a wry smile appeared on his face: "Since they dare to come to the royal capital blatantly, they naturally have the certainty of retreating, and even if the two of them are detained, I am afraid that the problem will not be solved." β
He tapped his finger on the coffee table: "The Cronin family and the Clayton family have a deep heritage, and they were a prominent family of gate valves during the Oleholz dynasty, far from it
The Hope family is comparable. β
Renard immediately heard the other party's words, and the two families must still have hidden hidden powers.
King Ferdinand picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said frankly: "I'm here to tell you the truth, in addition to the two epic-level warriors on the surface, there are three epic-level powerhouses behind the two families. β
The news he provided really surprised Lei Ye, the other party just gave the bottom so simply, wasn't he afraid of scaring them away?
Five epic powerhouses, this is definitely an extremely terrifying force.
Renard knew that if the other party dared to say this to him, he must have prepared a backhand, and he was not afraid of retreating from the battle.
Ferdinand took a sip of tea, his eyes scanned the four people in front of him through the rim of the cup, and seeing that everyone didn't say anything, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a satisfied arc.
After thinking about it, he put down the teacup and spoke again: "But don't worry, the Hope family is not only strong on the surface. β
"In addition to the Marquis of Keltrolope, the Count of Louis, and the Magister Frank, you must have heard of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table. β
The four of the Knights of the Twelve Round Table nodded at the same time, although this knight order has long disappeared into the long river of history, its legendary history cannot be erased.
Ferdinand cleared his throat and smiled, "There are four knights alive now. β
When everyone heard this, their expressions were different, the Knight Chief was the abbreviation of the Knight Commander, and those who could win this honor were undoubtedly the top legendary warriors.
These knights had followed His Majesty Rochelle on the battlefield, and if they were still alive, they would be one hundred or forty or fifty years old, and those who could live for so long would definitely be epic powerhouses.
Renard's eyes flickered, and the other party revealed these news to them, I am afraid that in addition to reassuring people's hearts, there is also a warning element in it.
He couldn't help but smile to himself, this majesty was really too cautious.
If you have the ambition to split Arthur's kingdom, you don't have to cooperate with him at all, as long as you stop in the ranks of the two major families, the country will be torn apart immediately.
He didn't pierce the other party's careful thoughts, but cooperated with a shocked expression.
