Chapter 70: Forbearance for a while
The guards led the hunter to the dungeon, and the old butler left the room with Greywrist, Orange Wind, and Nightstar;
Eddie could tell that Baron Fang Dun's eyes were full of anticipation;
But the latter is also well aware that that possibility ...... It's beyond the norm.
"Your Excellency. Even though there were only two people left in the room, Add remained vigilant: "Is there anyone in this room who can peep and eavesdrop?"
"Rest assured, it's absolutely safe here. ”
Eddie's increasingly majestic demeanor made Fang Dun even more convinced of his speculation;
"So...... Fang Dun, you may have guessed my identity, but I still have to confirm it to you. Add's voice lowered, but the change in volume didn't affect the firmness of his tone;
Add turned and showed the Holy Miracle on his back—which could not be imitated in any way, and was more convincing than a thousand words—to Fang Dun:
"Under the protection of the god of the sun, I have opened my mind, and yes, I am the last remaining royal family of the Blazing Sun, your true king, Adotte Dixment. ”
Fang Dun struggled to resist the urge to fall to his knees and shout for His Majesty, but even then, his eyes were red.
"Thank you for your hard work, Fang Dun. Add put down his shirt and turned away, his eyes full of approval:
"Your loyalty to the royal family, I have received it. ”
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty ......" Fang Dun's tears burst out of his eyes, "I can see you with my own eyes, and my efforts will not be in vain......
[Sensing a change in the world line, causal point +100.] 】
"Well, I see your persistence. Add smiled and nodded slightly, "I was there the day you fended off the Darkcloud Pony...... I also talked to one of your old knights. ”
"It turns out that it is Your Majesty......" Fang Dun wiped away his tears with his trembling arms, "Your Majesty deigned to help, but he didn't notice and pay attention in time, it's really ......"
"None of that matters. Eddie felt that Baron Fang Dun was not only higher in title than Iron Spear, but also more moved: "We should hurry up and settle some key things - for example, your position." ”
"I am willing to give up my life for the Blazing Sun royal family......! Before, Zaiya thought that His Majesty was dead, so he had the idea of bowing his knees to the regent...... I hope you will punish you!" The baron bowed his head deeply;
"You've done well enough, and I wouldn't have come to see you if I hadn't known what you were doing that day;" Eddie said reassuringly,
"What's more, you don't plan to surrender for fame and fortune, but for the people of Maple Town...... Your reputation will not be tainted by such thoughts, but on the contrary, it will shine brighter and brighter as a result. ”
"But in this situation, there is really no way to do it!" Baron Fang Dun clenched his fists, his nails almost piercing his skin: "Now, the maple forest on the southeast side should be full of solid shell fruits, and the gathered dark cloud foals may attack at any time;
Baron Greywolf in Black Mud can probably assemble an army of at least two hundred men - if he is willing to pay a little more to recruit adventurers, then he may be able to reach three hundred;
On the side of Kefeng Town, there were originally less than 200 soldiers, and after yesterday's battle, there were less than 150 soldiers who could participate in the battle, and some of them were slightly wounded......
Add knew that Maple Town was at a disadvantage—and that was what those plans were built on—and he nodded, motioning for Baron Fang Dun to continue.
"The town is not like a city, there are no city walls, and even if there is no demonic beast, the two sides will definitely lose if they fight head-on;
What's more, some time ago, there was a small saku who spread news in the city and tried to win over adventurers...... In this way, those guilds can't be counted on!
The magic core used to maintain the defense line is far from enough to resist a beast tide at this moment!"
Speaking of this, the baron seemed to have made up his mind:
"That's it, Your Majesty! There are three knights and fifteen guards under his command, and these people have been personally selected and cultivated for several years, and their loyalty is absolutely guaranteed!
Please take them away and plan for a great cause! I wish to die here to defend the glory of my family and the royal family!"
"I want to praise your spirit. Add nodded slightly, but then changed gear:
"But, I will not allow you to give up on this!
I, now that I've come here, I've already prepared a complete plan;
All you have to do is cooperate with me as much as you can. ”
The baron was stunned: Could it be that His Majesty still has a way to win in such a desperate situation?
No, how is it possible, Your Majesty must not have recognized the situation clearly, and he has not narrated it properly! Fang Dun thought so, and planned to state the current predicament in more detail-
"You're still trying to convince me to escape. Add sighed, "You're going against my will. ”
"Don't dare to ——!" Fang Dun felt that his sideburns had been stained with sweat.
"I understand your thoughts, so I don't blame you. Eddie then said what Fang Dun was going to say:
"With the current strength, it is impossible to deal with the Demon Beast alone, or only to resist the Baron;
Moreover, even if you are able to survive this difficult time, Kaede Town will fall into a crisis or even collapse due to the lack of demon cores—so your suggestion that I flee is completely out of loyalty. ”
"Your Majesty is grateful for such understanding, but, as you say, ...... now"
"Now that I'm here, that means ......
It's not a dead end. ”
Eddie's confident words stunned Baron Fang Dun for a moment, even though Eddie hadn't yet said a specific method, his positive demeanor had infected the latter;
"One of the most important things we have to do to avoid the next troubles is. Eddie cleared his throat,
"You swear allegiance to the Lord Regent, Tiamat Ernémi. ”
Baron Fang Dun suspected that he had misheard.
If someone from Tiamat had tried to persuade him, he would have scoffed him, and if his men had persuaded him, he would have scolded him and slapped him several times;
But this sentence was actually said by His Majesty to himself.
...... It's like when the vanguard general shouts the slogan loudly and turns back to greet the soldiers-
But he caught a glimpse of the commander-in-chief's tent as if the white flag had been raised high.
"Your Majesty...... This is a matter of royal glory, how can I ...... like this, if I am loyal to you, every day can be seen" Fang Dun's voice trembled a little;
"I have never intended to deny glory and loyalty. Eddie said solemnly, "But what we have to do is not based on slogans or something in name—
What we want to do is to revive the Blazing Sun royal family!
And now, our power is still too weak, and if we continue to maintain this tough attitude, we will lose the last remaining strength under the oppression of the regent!
Listen, we don't necessarily have to move towards the ultimate goal at every step;
We may take a detour, or even go the other way, but these actions will not necessarily prevent us from reaching the end -
As long as we keep in mind the right direction. ”
