"Say what you mean, Swadiaan!"

A cold voice sounded in this world, but no one answered, and there seemed to be no other sound in the military formation on the opposite side, except for the occasional heavy neighing of horses.

Behind them, the blood-red upright lion flag still rolled in the wind, making the sound of hunting.

King Greyfus was not in a hurry, but stared at the knight sitting on a black horse on the opposite side, as if it were made of steel.

After a brief moment of silence, the knight who had wrapped himself in heavy armor finally reacted. He patted the horse lightly on the shoulder, and slowly drove the horse forward, leaving behind him the scarlet banner that was said to be stained with human blood.

"Honorable Lord Grievos of Viruga, my uncle, His Majesty Haraus, the only legitimate king of Calradia and heir to the will of Karad, has entrusted me with greetings and entrusts me with full responsibility for the alliance with you and your vassals against the invasion of the perfidious Salanders."

His tone was very respectful, but everyone could feel the deep disdain between the lines.

Griffos narrowed his eyes and said murderously, "Listen, kid. I don't care who you are, I don't care what you're here for, I just need you to remember! That is, this is Rhodoc, and we are the Rhodocs themselves! If you still think that you Svadians can show off your power in our territory with impunity, then you are very wrong! I think that lesson from 20 years ago should be enough for you! “

The knight in full armor on the opposite side didn't seem to hear his threat, and only lightly owed his body on the horse to apologize. But even his action, which should have been full of apologies, became almost undetectable under the cover of the armor of his whole body, and it looked ironic. Aware of this, Graves and his attendants looked even more unkindly.

"I'm sorry, sir, but I beg your pardon if any of my words have caused you an upset. After all, as you said, I'm just a kid and I always like to say what is in my heart! However, I still hope that you will believe that our willingness to cooperate is very sincere! There may be contradictions between us, but on the whole, we still have the same blood, the same language, and the same beliefs! Shouldn't we unite and work together in the face of those infidels who do all kinds of evil? “

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and he drove his horse closer to Griffos.

Charles stood far away, his gaze following him. For some reason, he always felt that this full-body armored knight had a strange familiarity to him, as if he had seen it somewhere. But he was sure that he had never known a Swadian except for the caravan leader and his new friend Lucius, whom William had introduced to him at the beginning, so what was going on?

"Oh oh! Close enough, Svadian, if you dare to take a step closer to our king, I'll shoot you through the head with a crossbow bolt in my hand, and I'll do it! “

As soon as the brave guard's words fell, the other guards also raised their crossbows in their hands, all pointing at the man in front of them.

The full-body knight chuckled twice, stretched out his empty hand to show that he was not a threat, and slowly stepped back. At the same time, Graves squeezed his left hand, motioning for the guards to lower their weapons.

"Oh, my dear Lord Graves, I thought you would be as hospitable as you usually appear, but now it seems that your servants have done a good job of ruining your reputation."

Graves stretched out his left hand and stopped in the air, stopping the Rhodok lords and guards around him from what they were going to do next, avoiding a bigger conflict: "That's right, we Rhodoks are hospitable. For our friends, we naturally do not hesitate to entertain them with everything we have. But we are not obligated to speak well of uninvited people. “

His words drew the support of the crowd behind him, who repeated them one after another, combined with defiant glances and movements, as if they were the gift they had given the Svadians.

King Graves did not stop him, but only after his subordinates and vassals had had enough, he continued: "As for the servants you are talking about, it is only in you Swadia that you will be left behind!" All of us are equal, they are all unique citizens of Rhodoc, and there has never been such a thing as a servant of whom! “

Obviously, this is a very flattering statement and one that all Rhodocs are very proud of. The Rhodok nobles behind him erupted in cheers, and even the soldiers behind him who didn't know what was going on began to cheer and shout.

Charles was in the mix, and his heart was finally at ease: morale was starting to pick up.

"But, I think you're right, and in spite of all the contradictions between us, we God's people should really unite in the face of those heretics!"

The knight nodded, as if he hadn't heard the Rhodok's words, and continued to speak in a gentle but respectful voice, "That's right, then, my lord, have you agreed to form an alliance with us?" “

Graves sat up straight, and said with a straight face, "You should call me Your Majesty!" “

Hearing him say this, there was finally a hint of anger in the tone of the knight in full armor: "I'm sorry, my lord, in the hearts of our Svadians, there is only one person who can be called Your Majesty, and that is our esteemed Majesty Haraus!" If you don't want to ally with us, then so be, but I'm afraid you'll be dealing with more than just heretics! ”

"Are you threatening me, boy?" Graves' tone began to grow cold, and the nobles and guards behind him also picked up their weapons again, staring at the knight in full armor with unkindness.

"No, sir, I'm just telling the truth."

The Rhodok crossbowmen began to adjust their crossbows, determining the direction of their aim at the command of the commander. The Swadia cavalry had also lined up, and many of them had already leveled their rifles.

Just when everyone thought that a conflict was inevitable, suddenly, King Griffos, who was in the center of the field, and the knight in full armor broke out into a burst of laughter at the same time, attracting everyone's puzzled eyes.

Griffos didn't intend to explain, but smiled and said to the knight in full armor, "Good Swadia boy, count yourself as a kind." Go back and tell Haraus that I have agreed to an alliance with him. ”

The knight in full armor nodded, "Thank you for your loyalty to God, but I don't think I need to return to my uncle, His Majesty Harlaus, for I am the commander of this army myself, and I have every right to participate in and assist you and your army in the next phase of military operations." ”

Graves stopped laughing, "Very well, boy, I don't know your name after all this time." And, what exactly does Haraus want! ”

The knight in full armor drove his horse forward two steps, as if on stage preparing for the opening show. He then took off the winged helmet from his head, revealing a face that Charles was all too familiar to be.

"William, my name is William, my lord, William. Boston! ”
