"Chapter 8: Revenue"

Many amphibians and fish, the bottom is silvery-white, because from below, the shiny white belly is the same as the reflection on the surface of the water, so that the enemy swims from deep water and turns a blind eye.

In the eyes of Bai Feng, who attaches importance to efficiency, the meaningless temptation is a waste of everyone's time, and he is eager to talk openly and honestly with the Marquis of Besançon.

Hesitation has never been Bai Feng's personality, and he doesn't intend to waste time, the reason why he has never been honest with Marquis Besançon is because the content that needs to be honest is too risky, and even Bai Feng can't easily mention it.

After the conversation between the void and the snake lasted for half an hour again, just as Bai Feng, who couldn't restrain himself, was about to get straight to the point, the Marquis of Besanson, who showed a tired look for the first time, asked Bai Feng in an extremely helpless tone:

"Brother Bai Feng, you were originally one of the commanders of the Five Route Army of the Imperial Eastern Garrison, and the 300,000 soldiers under your command are the most elite essence of the Imperial Million-East Army;

Bai Feng, who was slightly excited in his heart, did not immediately reveal his inner emotions, but deliberately disguised himself and said, "Brother Besançon, obeying the orders of Charlemagne is the duty of our imperial soldiers. ”

Although Bai Feng did not directly express his dissatisfaction with Charlemagne in his words, his title to Charlemagne showed his true attitude in his heart;

However, the Marquis of Besançon, who didn't want to lose the initiative, was not so easy to compromise, and in the face of the indifferent Bai Feng, he said directly: "Brother Bai Feng, since you don't want to open up with my brother, then I can only ask you to go back to the house to rest." ”

After that, the Marquis of Besanson, who was pretending to be a gesture, stood up and walked straight towards the door of the conference room; such a scene forced Bai Feng to stand up with a wry smile and said, "Brother Besanson, you won, let me say it first?"

Bai Feng had already opened his mouth to compromise, but it was naturally impossible for the Marquis of Besançon, who was just pretending, to really leave the conference room, and the Marquis of Besançon, who had re-seated his seat, stared at Bai Feng, who was also sitting back in his seat, with a serious face, waiting for him to speak.

"Brother Besançon, before I begin the real conversation, I must ask you a question: Do you know the Chosen Messenger?"

"Chosen Messenger of God?!" Marquis Besançon, who was taken aback, asked Bai Feng incredulously: "In this world, is there really a Chosen Messenger?

"No, I can tell you for sure that the Chosen Messenger is real, and not only the Holy See of Light!" Speaking of this, Bai Feng took out an energy ball of light that emitted milky white light from his white spirit ring.

The energy light ball that Bai Feng prepared for Bai Sa and the others has never been given to them, not that Bai Feng is reluctant to give them to them, but in the Imperial Academy, which is full of people, the sudden increase in strength will inevitably attract the attention of too many caring people.

"It's ...... The legendary energy light ball?" If the existence of the Chosen Messenger shocked Marquis Besançon, then the energy ball of light that Bai Feng took out made Marquis Besançon's breathing become heavy.

"That's right, this is the legendary energy light ball that exists with the Chosen Messenger, with the peak realm of your Great Sword Master, you only need to absorb this energy light ball, you can directly break through to the Holy Rank and become another Saint-level powerhouse in the Empire. ”

Marquis Besançon, who never believed that there was a free lunch in this world, asked Bai Feng with burning eyes: "Such a precious ball of energy light, presumably even the Chosen Messenger will not have too much, why did you give it to me?"

"Because I am the Chosen Messenger of God, there is a divine residence behind me that is not weaker than the God of Light, so I still have a few of these precious energy light balls in my hands, and you are worthy of me using an energy light ball to win over. ”

"Reason, give me a reason to follow you, I believe that with your identity as the Chosen Messenger, you should be able to see it, even without the assistance of the energy light ball, I can still advance to the Holy Rank within two years, why should I follow you for an energy light ball?"

"A mere ball of energy light is just a gift from me to you, where is it a condition to follow. Knowing that the critical moment had come to subdue the Marquis of Besançon, Bai Feng's tone became calm, and he continued unhurriedly:

"Today's Celestial Dragon Empire is not so much an empire of the common people and nobles as an empire of a few top magnates; the common people living at the bottom of society and the ordinary nobles of low status cannot obtain the protection of the empire at all, and will even be oppressed by the empire. ”

"Is this kind of life what we want? Is such an empire worth everything we have to protect? All I want to do is to do my best to create a paradise on earth worthy of our protection, even if we sacrifice everything for it, we will not hesitate to do anything!"

Facing Bai Feng's expectant eyes, the Marquis of Besançon, who was struggling, fell into silence, he did not immediately agree to follow Bai Feng, who had revealed his dream, nor did he show disapproval, he did not say a word.

Bai Feng, who knew something about the Marquis of Besançon, knew that the seemingly hesitant Marquis of Besançon had actually made a choice, otherwise, with the personality of the Marquis of Besançon, if he was unwilling to follow him, he would definitely refuse his offer without hesitation.

Sure enough, after thinking for about five minutes, the Marquis of Besançon made up his mind and said, "Duke Baifeng, I can follow in your footsteps and help you create a new paradise on earth together, and at the same time, I also hope that you can grant me three requests." ”

The Marquis of Besançon, who had a very low posture, claimed to be a subordinate to Bai Feng for the first time, and even the conditions he proposed to follow were in the name of the request. However, Bai Feng did not directly agree: "Let's talk about your three requests first." ”

"First request, I want you to keep my son with you and transfer the energy light ball you gave me to him. ”

"Yes, I will train your son to be a qualified Imperial soldier, and as for the energy light balls, I will give you two. ”

"The second request, I hope to be back on the battlefield one day, even if it's just a wing commander. ”

"Yes! When the time is right, I'll form a legion for you. ”

"The third request, I hope that after you have enough strength to crush the Imperial Military Department, you will hand over the Imperial War Minister Duke Kulen and his Deputy Military Minister to me to deal with. ”

"I can't grant you this request for the time being, and I think you can understand why. But I can assure you that if I had the chance, I would get justice for you after 12 years of hard work and 6 years of oppression. ”

"Viceroy of Besançon, swear allegiance to His Excellency the Duke!"

The Marquis of Besançon, who was no longer an imperial soldier, swore allegiance to the higher rank of Bai Feng as his own governor, and Bai Feng, who had originally intended to ally with the Marquis of Besançon, took the other party under his command in this way, which was a surprise.
