Chapter 0564: Surrender
Renard looked a little dazed, in less than four months, he only paid a very small price, and recovered the 90,000-square-kilometer Cabbage County, along with the allegiance of the Creighton family.
It's like a dream.
He pinched Robertson beside him hard, and it wasn't until the other party let out a ghostly cry that he was sure it wasn't a dream.
Renard looked at the Marquis of Sidney, and his heart was really mixed.
Once upon a time, the other party looked down on him from above, but now he actually grovels and prays for shelter to himself.
really responded to that sentence: thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi.
Renard took a deep breath, suppressed his complicated emotions in his heart, and said frankly: "It's hard for me to believe your sincerity, the Creighton family is a fierce tiger for me. β
"Do you think it's dangerous to raise a tiger around you, if one day it is hungry, will it eat me?"
Hearing this, the Marquis of Sidney's face did not change, and even his tone was as flat as ever: "I am willing to swear to the gods in the honor of my family, and the Creighton family will always submit to you." β
Renard smiled and shook his head, "That's how you used to show your allegiance to His Majesty Rochelle, right?"
Hearing His Majesty Rochelle's words, the Marquis of Sidney was stunned for a moment, and there was a faint sadness in the depths of his eyes.
Renard tapped his fingers on the table and said, "I don't believe in any oaths, I just know that strong strength is the key factor for people to truly surrender." β
"You Clayton family have surrendered to me, but you feel that victory is hopeless, and you are just looking for a safe haven, and if you become strong one day, I am afraid that you will betray me as you did today. β
The Marquis of Sidney was silent about this, and after a long time, he replied with some helplessness: "No one wants to be forever. β
Renard tilted his head undeniably: "You answered honestly, which makes me think that you have the sincerity to surrender." β
The Marquis of Sidney looked at him with some surprise when he heard this, and pondered in his mind: Are the brain circuits of young people so peculiar nowadays?
Renard didn't care what he thought, he directly took out a contract and handed it to the other party, saying, "After signing this contract, I will protect your Creighton family." β
Marquis Sidney's expression became more and more surprised, and he took the contract and looked at it for a long time, staring slowly
Eyes widened.
He was surprised to find that this contract was very similar to the sacred treaty signed by Emperor Goldsmith and his subordinate knights, and to put it bluntly, it was a royal contract.
Legend has it that Emperor Goldsmith, under the witness of the gods, signed a sacred contract with his twelve powerful dragon knights to guarantee eternal life and never betray each other, which is the earliest twelve knights of the round table.
The Marquis of Sidney was surprised at first, and then smiled dumbly: "Do you think this contract is more secure than my oath?"
Renard nodded nondeniably: "As long as you dare to sign, I will protect your Creighton family from persecution." β
The Marquis of Sidney looked at the contract again, and found nothing unusual, just plain parchment, written in red paint.
He glanced at Lei Ye again, and felt that this guy didn't look like a devil who deceived people, even if he was a devil, he couldn't use a contract to restrain an epic powerhouse.
After thinking about it, he finally picked up the quill and signed his name in the place below where he signed itβSidney Creighton.
When the other party puts down the pen, the system immediately prompts: "Ding Dong! Congratulations on successfully obtaining a contract servant!"
A faint smile tugged at the corners of Renard's mouth, and then quickly disappeared into invisibility, this contract was the genuine divine contract that he had exchanged for a million dinars from the system.
What is a sacred contract, that is, the other party must travel in accordance with the provisions of the contract, otherwise it will be subject to the repercussions of the contract, which is something that really kills people.
He looked at the information about the Marquis of Sidney, and the system showed that the other party was a top epic martial artist, and although his loyalty was only twenty, he could barely be regarded as having a heart of surrender.
Renard personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to the other party, and said with a smile: "Within two days, the news that I want the Creighton family to surrender will spread throughout the Arthurian Kingdom, but it is not surrendered to me, but His Majesty King Ferdinand." β
Marquis Sidney raised his eyebrows slightly, and then nodded knowingly.
The other party thought that he understood Lei Ye's intentions, and thought that Lei Ye was not ready to tear his face with the king, so he wanted to hide the news that the Clayton family had surrendered to him.
However, the other party guessed the little half, Renard knew Ferdinand's character, that is an extremely conceited and arrogant guy.
If the Creighton family were to submit to them, His Majesty would most likely be wary of eye problems.
He didn't want to get into trouble with Ferdinand because of this trivial matter, and it was in line with his philosophy to make a fortune quietly.
The matter about the Creighton family was thus settled, but an even greater haze enveloped Renard's heart: "You said that the curse in Arka has nothing to do with your Creighton family?"
Marquis Sidney nodded very seriously: "Our Creighton family has two epic powerhouses, that is, me and my cousin Pritzer, but both of us are martial artists, and we don't know any curse art at all. β
Renard frowned when he heard this, and carefully watched the other party's expression, feeling that the other party should not be lying.
And the ritual of removing the curse is about to begin, and it won't be long before Arka wakes up, so the clumsy lie is easy to debunk,
Of course, he couldn't be sure that the other party was telling the truth, and perhaps the Marquis of Sidney thought that this curse was unsolvable, so he dared to speak out like this.
Either way, when Arka wakes up, the mystery of the matter will be revealed.
On September 20, the 70th year of the founding of the Arthurian Kingdom, the Creighton family announced its unconditional surrender.
On October 10, the Marquis de Sidney, the head of the Creighton family, formally signed the instrument of surrender, giving up all the land and property of the Creighton family in submission.
On 20 October, King Ferdinand returned to the court and escorted all members of the Creighton family to the royal capital for trial.
The outcome of the campaign was not unexpected, but the smoothness of the process was somewhat unbelievable.
The king regained Kale County with lightning speed, which is probably something that no one expected.
The nobles who had made it clear that they supported His Majesty and had sent troops to assist in the crusade were overjoyed and could not believe that victory would come so easily.
The aristocrats, who have always maintained a wait-and-see attitude, are as uncomfortable as eating fly feces, and they can't wait to travel back to more than two months ago and slap themselves twice at that time.
However, now that it is too late to regret it, we can only hurry to seek an opportunity to remedy.
So these speculators all got busy, and finally set their sights on the Cronin family.
Although the Creighton rebellion was quickly crushed, there was an even harder bone to gnaw on.
Suddenly, the nobles began to sharpen their knives, ready to attack the Cronin family.
