The half-truths of the knight's words are quite sincere.

If it weren't for the fact that Lao Haru's royal court in Beihai had also witnessed several coups and knew a little bit about political conspiracy, maybe he would have found the way of this hairy man at this moment.

Fortunately, there are no ifs. Haruben is not the kind of scheming and suspicious character, and the warriors of the Northland are almost like that. just stroked his white beard, mixed with a hint of pathos, and said self-deprecatingly:

"That's interesting. Do you know that before you arrived, there was a rebellion in the Sea Castle because of your affairs......?

"Well, all I saw was a bunch of warmongers. Before you entered the city, you were armed, tsk, is this how you greet your 'compatriots', or do you not think of us as your own at all!"

The knights around Sword quickly focused their gaze on their chief knight, as if he had just performed some remarkable feat.

If it was half a year ago, then these knights' minds would still be very pure, and they would definitely not have a narrow heart for their Grand Master, but after soaking in the barracks for so long, most of them have an extra heart, and they are more looking at the object of their original unconditional worship with a new kind of gaze.

You know, before last night, the Grand Master swore that the Beihai Kingdom had always been his friend, and the king of Beihai would enthusiastically recruit the emperor's army, but in just one and a half nights, reliable allies have become heinous burdens (Ten Evils: Rebellion)

This crisis of confidence will continue for a long time to come, and the knights will be loyal to the Empire, to the Emperor, and to their Grand Master. Therefore, it is not easy to choose rebellion, but this loyalty is not unreserved.

Ward's behavior against Orloff sent them chills. Although they were never friends with the rude tyrant, they were all vassals of the Empire, and now the Empire can use a knife against a king, and of course it is easy to execute an earl or duke.

What's more, according to the words of this veteran, it seems that the Sward Knight has long planned to target the Northlands, and if nothing else, it is even a war that intervenes in the battle for the throne...

Although the veteran only casually mentioned it, he had already planted a seed of doubt in the Knights.

If it weren't for the fact that the first emperor of the empire had passed away for a little longer, perhaps many of the delicate knights would still be able to find the suspicion of the death of the first emperor.

But Sword really felt at a loss for words. He slightly recalled in his mind that he had gone to all the personnel arrangements first, which may have conspiracy and countermeasures against many dukes, but it really did not include the subversion of the royal power of Beihai.

The current king of the North Sea is a recognized tyrant, and this is an important dependence of the empire to quickly establish its rule in the Northland, only a person with a bad brain would think of changing a Ming monarch in the Northland, not to mention that this is not in the interests of the Maltese family at all.

Of course, there was no way for Sword to explain a conspiracy that had not been organized at all, but he looked at the old soldier's determined eyes, and had to try to search the city himself, hoping to find some clues.

Thinking of this, he slowly cast his gaze to the center of the battlefield. The young man with the iron crown on his head, who seemed to be a strange face, and he had not raised any noble banners, had to be very unusual, but he could not find a connection with the empire for the time being.

As he was about to look away, a vertical halberd shone slightly beside the young man, and the finely polished iron shone in the setting sun.

From a military point of view, no soldier would have thought to belittle such a handy weapon.

But from a politician's point of view, the halberd that stretched out to the side was simply a slap in the face of the imperial general.

Looking down through the halberd, Sword really got a familiar figure, and although he was determined, he couldn't help but moan.

"That's ...... Guards of the Empire?"

Haru squinted and waited until Sword saw it himself, then continued:

"Now the knight can always admit it himself?"

With a wry smile on his face, Sword thrust his rifle into Lin.

He was negotiating with a veteran, but the northern warriors who had surrounded the youth would not stand there stupidly and wait, and the knights poured into the city to make them bow their momentum, but after chatting at this time, the warriors had retreated to the palace of Beihai after trying to take down the young man in one fell swoop

Among the four kingdoms, the royal court of the Beihai Kingdom is undoubtedly the most humble. The output of the North Land is low as a whole, although it is vast, but it cannot support such a large population, and there is not so much labor for the kings of the North Sea to build a large number of buildings, coupled with their unique "king election" system, there is no such term of king, will use his wealth to build for others to make wedding clothes.

But it was a king's dwelling. There are no tall stone walls, but there is a fence that is large enough. There are no precipitous landscapes, but they also occupy the commanding heights in the city. Hundreds of guards armed with various weapons stood at the bottom of the royal city, and really formed a very decent defensive line.

"Did you know who I was from the beginning? Lord Hasarin of the North Sea. ”

"From the moment you recognize who I am, I know who you are, what's so rare about that?"

Haru said nonchalantly, "You Abbastians are really fond of tossing, obviously you are wearing several positions, and you have to be a nobleman in the territory, if the enemy can't judge your special status, then what else is there." ”

Sword was stunned for a moment, then looked behind him. It turned out that just now, he had already left his brothers of the Order on horseback by himself for a long distance, and even the guards who came over seemed too deliberate.

The most terrible thing is that almost all the members of the Knights are now looking at him, and there is a sense of alienation in their eyes, even he himself feels that he is piercing, let alone the veteran in front of him.

But despite this, he dismounted and greeted the veteran respectfully.

"The champion knight of Abbasquia, Sward from Malta, has seen Your Excellency. ”

This set of etiquette is called respect, but Haru has no sense of appreciation.

"It's better not to see than not to see. Old Hazarin, just call me Haru. ”

Just as Sward was about to say a few more words to Haru, Haru opened his mouth first with some interest.

"You're a Malta, so the messenger you photographed to send you to death is your own confidant, yes, a bit of a responsibility. ”

"Henchman, send to death?"

After witnessing last night's tragedy, Sword was a little inexplicably sensitive to these two words, and almost instantly, he thought of the scene of the Parud knight being dismantled, and his eyes were not only a little lost.

"Oh? Just last night, your knight was sent on his way by Ollov after he refused Orlov's request for the third time to film him going undercover in your barracks......"

"So, did he go safely?"

Almost impatiently, Sword interrupted Haru's words.

Haru glanced at the man in front of him a little strangely, as if to make sure that something was wrong with his mind.

"The North Sea Kingdom is not in the habit of torturing warriors, of course he died happily, a glass of poisoned wine, an axe and on the road. ”

After discussing Parud's question, Haru continued, "It seems that I am overestimating you, or that the young man is hiding too much. I had warned the knight of Parud through the mouth of his squire to act with his heart, but his subsequent recklessness was disappointing. ”

"You are not an enemy of the Empire. ”

"I just don't want anyone to die at the hands of that tyrant in the city. You must know that the older a person lives, the fewer people can look at him, and the messenger you sent can be regarded as one, with a little fate. If I can help, I am naturally unwilling to let him leave the world like this, which will only make me more disappointed in the world. ”

"Tell me about your conditions, we're running out of time. Behind me were four thousand elite warriors who were hungry for the riches of the city, and the women. ”

"Can you control your army?"

"The soldiers of the Empire all believe in the orders of the Emperor, and our Emperor has ordered me to take charge of the three armies. ”

"I've been looking at the city gate for the Beihai Kingdom all my life, and it's impossible to let you destroy this city now."

"The target of the Empire's conquest is not my own convicted brother, and I can swear an oath in the honor of my family. ”

The surrounding knights of Great Pruth and the warriors of the Northlands were still a little surprised by the sudden change of words of the leaders of both sides, but they had already laid out the content of the negotiation terms.

"I believe you once, and it should be for the Scales Country. Haru laughed a little self-deprecatingly: "We old Sakhalin have been fighting for the North Sea Kingdom all our lives, and if we start from our ancestors outside, it will be an even longer history. But today, I can't help but wonder if we are outdated. ”

"First the conversion of King Tamori, then the centralization of Ollov. It's as if everything is directed against our army of veterans. I hate to admit it, but fate is unpredictable. We did our best to guard the gates of the Sea Castle from falling, but because of this, the civilization produced in the gates was very different from ours. ”

Sword nodded thoughtfully, and said regretfully: "Since the Beihai Kingdom is no longer an independent king-electing country, then your existence itself is indeed a bit out of place, and what about the feeling that the king likes to be left in power? No, they are all damned centralists under the influence of His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"I have a son, he is valiant and my pride, and I was going to let him take over my team, but at the age of twenty-one he died in a duel, and he and the man with whom he fought lost their lives. Now I only have one grandson, who is only twelve years old this year, a little young, but sooner or later he will become a qualified fighter. ”

"From now on, he is my son, and you are my father, my lord. Without blinking an eye, Sword had already given Haru an answer before he could ask his question.

"There is not only one brother in a situation like my grandson. ”

"Whether it's the royal palace of the empire, or the estates in Malta, they are more than capable of raising a group of children. Sword frowned slightly, gritted his teeth, and asked rhetorically.

"As much as I respect you, do you want to exchange information with me?"

Haru's eyes widened in surprise, he looked at the young man in front of him, and asked with some annoyance. "The escort of the North Sea Kingdom is completely neutral, can't they even exchange the rations for a few children?"

Knight Sward shook his head in disbelief, and was about to continue replying to Haru's words when a new Imperial legion rushed in.

It was a group of infantry soldiers who looked very different from the knights. With huge shields in their hands and short spears at their waists, they walked in relatively orderly steps to the center of the town. And in the center of these infantry troops was a young general with blazing eyes.

"Field Marshal Sword, where is our enemy, why have we been in the city for so long and have not gained anything?"

General Nonno's undisguised voice caused a burst of boos, which made the knights feel even more gloomy, but Nonno still looked nonchalant.

He was tall and dressed in thick armor and walked in the center of the army, even if he didn't ride like the knights, he was the focus of the crowd.

The old captain of the Haru Guard wanted to talk to Sword for a while and fight for more benefits with his family in the status of the Guard, but the high-spirited General Nonno became an obstacle to him. It seems that as long as Sword doesn't arrange the work on the battlefield with Nonnuo for a moment, his noisy voice can't stop for a moment.

"The people inside the fence are the enemy! ”

As for how to win, Sword had more confidence than negotiating with the old man.

It may be a sturdy and intractable line of defense in the eyes of the local mobilized militia, but in the eyes of the professional Imperial military, it is just a matter of choosing the most suitable tactics to take it down at the moment.
