With the departure of Robit Cook and his party, there was no longer any quarrel in the Duke's Palace, and the entire Dragon City seemed very peaceful.

Since learning that Prince Railton was in distress, Duke Thatcher no longer bothered about anything in the territory, and he sat on the balcony of the Duke's Palace every day, staring blankly at the streets to the west, longing for Relton to appear miraculously in front of him. But as more than two months passed quickly, there was still no news of Prince Railton in Dragon City.

Dragon City in August once again ushered in a bumper harvest in the territory, and Carter presided over all the affairs of the territory, big and small, and was busy as a whole. On this day, Carter urged the guards to stock up on a new batch of food reserves, and then he dragged his tired body back to his residence slowly.

The setting sun had already penetrated into the cracks in the clouds, leaving only a sunset in mid-air, and the earth was dyed red. Carter sighed and looked up at the sky, his eyes full of doubt.

It's been a tough time for Carter, and he doesn't know when the barbarians will raise their troops to attack Dragon City. Since the fall of the kingdom, Prince Relton's appearance has been like the last beacon of light in the world of Knight, guiding everyone to serve the kingdom one after another. And Relton's own excellent performance, the entire Knight world believes that the real king is about to be born in Knight Land. But now there is nothing left, and all that remains is a group of remnants of the dead country who live in fear on their land, and have no hope for the future.

Prince Railton's accident is also a big blow to Carter, although Dragon City still has not received the news of the prince's death, but it is obvious that the prince's hope of life has approached zero, and the entire Knight has once again been reduced to a scattered sand, which makes Carter have no hope for Knight's future.

When Carter slowly rode back to his mansion, he saw a courtyard full of lazy guards, and it seemed that everyone had lost confidence and motivation to do anything like him.

If it was in the past, Carter would have reprimanded them harshly and urged them to work hard, but now Carter has no such leisure, so he just dismounts and returns to the hall to rest.

Evening had come, and when Carter, the chief clerk, had returned, the guards began to cook food and wine to prepare for the dinner.

Not everyone has become so decadent, Dimis is different, he is even more active than before, and he has an inexhaustible fighting spirit. After settling the land dispute in Dragon City, Dimis hurried to Carter's mansion.

When Dimis came to Carter, the table was filled with food, so Carter invited Dimis to join him.

After a few glasses of wine, Dimis glanced at the guards on either side, and the guards saluted and retreated. Dimiss looked around cautiously, and when he saw that no one was around, he whispered to Carter: "Lord Commander-in-Chief, I have been patrolling around the territory in the past few days and have been in contact with many nobles. I have made the decision for the Commander-in-Chief, and I have privately accepted the oath of allegiance of the nobles to you, and I hope that the Commander-in-Chief will not be surprised. ”

With that, Dimis reached out and took out a few volumes of papers from the cloth bag around his waist, and presented the oaths of the nobles to Carter. Carter looked at Dimis listlessly, hesitated for a few seconds before reaching out to take it.

Carter, however, only glanced at it casually, then set the book aside, and continued to drink with his head down indifferently.

Seeing Carter's will so depressed, Dimis was a little anxious, he frowned and comforted Carter and said, "Lord Commander, don't underestimate these nobles. While they're not a big deal at Knight now, it's definitely a good thing for us going forward. At the moment, we are not enough to be like Thatcher, Cologne and Mozart, as long as we continue to gain the support of more nobles and slowly accumulate our power, one day you can be on an equal footing with them, and you will definitely become the Grand Duke of a territory in the future. ”

Carter replied nonchalantly, "Duke? Our princes are gone, and every Knight has lost hope, so what's the use of asking for that dukedom! ”

Dimis was slightly shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect Carter to be so decadent because of the prince's affairs. Dimis opened his mouth to drink the wine from the glass, and persuaded Carter in a calm tone, "I said during the attack on Fort Rytun that it was you, the Commander-in-Chief, and not His Royal Highness Prince Reilton, who received the oracle. The current results illustrate this even more, the gods did not protect Prince Realton, and Yuguan became the end of Prince Realton. However, Lord Commander-in-Chief, you are different, our three main legions in Dragon City, and now we can only restore our strength to Dragon City, and only our second legion. ”

Carter raised his head slightly, stared at Dimis and said, "You're here again, what the hell are you trying to explain?" ”

Dimis smiled indifferently, lifted the flask and continued while pouring the wine: "This counterattack battle was originally planned very carefully, and it stands to reason that Caldis of the First Legion has more opportunities to establish immortal exploits. If Prince Relton's counterattack plan succeeds, then the two of them are an excellent pair, one is the birth of a real new king, and the other is the real first Duke of Heart's fame. But it turned out that God did not arrange it this way, both of them were fakes, and they were not protected by the gods. Now there are almost as many knights in our Second Legion as there are people from Cologne and Mozart combined, and this is a deliberate arrangement by the gods to make you the soul of our Knight army in the future. ”

After speaking, Dimiss reached out and touched his mouth, and continued to analyze Carter: "Without Prince Relton, this does not mean that our Knight will be completely defeated. We Knight people are found in every corner of the continental plains, and our population is larger than the people of their three empires, Tubis, Nila, and Beijon combined. Even after several years of invasion and massacre, the number of our people has begun to decline sharply, but the overall base is here, and if you want to completely kill our Knights, the Tubis people may not have the ability to do so. In the hearts of our Knight people, the god of war of the past has lost trust, but we are all waiting. ”

"Wait?" Carter sneered and said, "Hehe, what are you waiting for?" What is there to wait for. ”

Dimiss glanced at Carter and said in high spirits: "Of course, I am waiting for the real king who will save my thousands of Knight people to appear, and when our new god of war comes." The royal family has all been martyred for the country, and the old royal family has come to an end in a way that defends its glory. However, thousands of my people are still alive, and a new king will surely be born again, and the next one should appear among those of us who are desperately fighting. The clansmen are waiting for the reappearance of this new king, and everyone is waiting, including me and Xiao Daocheng Asser, all of them are waiting. ”

Carter raised his glass high, looked at the wine in the glass while turning, and asked very calmly, "Do you think this person should be me?" And not Cook them? ”。

Dimis sneered and said, "Cook? Robit? Ha ha. With their qualifications, they are at best the commanders of the knightly army, and their abilities are limited to that. As the king, it is far from enough for the Light Society to lead the army. ”

Carter reached out and put the wine glass on the table, slowly raised his head and sighed, "But I, Carter, am only a commander-in-chief now, is there any difference?" ”

Dimis shook his head and replied, "Of course it's different. The commander-in-chief is not only in charge of the army, but also in charge of the affairs of the Dragon City territory, to put it more high-soundingly, you are both civil and military, but this is not the most important thing. The main force of our Knight is the dukes of those major territories, and now Caldis has mostly died in battle, and the only three factions left are Thatcher, Cologne, and Mozart, and you happen to have a good relationship with the people of all three factions. What we lack now is not the support of the big nobles, their support is more or less selfish, so we have to get more support from ordinary nobles, and the support of those ordinary nobles is the loyal followers who do not hesitate. ”

Carter nodded silently and replied, "I understand what you mean, the so-called one who wins the hearts of the people can win the world, that's what he said." But Dimis, you must know that people are invincible in high places, and once we control the fate of our Knights, in the future, if we take one wrong step, it will bring endless disasters to our people, and then we will become Knight's sinners for the ages. King Freck and Prince Railton are the most typical examples, and although our people have not yet scolded them, I believe that in a few decades, they will be the targets of their people's rebuke. So Carter never wanted to be a king, but wanted to be a loyal servant of the kingdom with peace of mind. ”

Dimiss looked at Carter and said with a little disappointment: "I didn't expect the commander-in-chief to be worried about this, it seems that you don't trust our brothers very much, and think we don't have any skills?" ”

Carter was startled and hurriedly looked up at Dimis.

Dimiss lowered his head and sighed, and continued: "There is a saying that it is better to rely on others than on ourselves, we can also do what others can do, and we may not be able to do what others can't do." That Cologne had a bad intention, and Cook was not wrong at all, he was the great moth of our kingdom. There is also the Duke Mozart, who is mediocre in ability, does nothing, and is selfish in everything he does. Is it possible that the Commander-in-Chief will assist such a person in the future? ”。

Carter shook his head and replied, "Of course not, it's a pity that Duke Thatcher is old and can hardly support him for a few years." That Caldis is still a bit capable, and he is still my savior, but I didn't expect him to make it back to Dragon City alive. ”

Dimiss was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked Carter, "Lord Commander-in-Chief, do you think you will be worse than Duke Caldis?" You wouldn't, would you? How ambitious can that Caldis be who only knows how to work in the fields all day long, completely ignoring our Nate's big business? Just by saving the prince and picking up a cheap duke, he is also capable? You see how badly their First Legion has been defeated, and he, Caldis, is most responsible for our defeat. ”

Carter waved his hand again and again and said, "Okay, okay, everyone is dead, don't count others behind your back." In any case, the Duke of Caldis was kind to me and my sister, and he was upright, and would rather starve than have anything to do with Cologne, and his nobility and integrity are still very respectable to us. ”

Dimiss smiled slightly after hearing this, nodded again and again and said: "That's right, he is really good in this regard, but the reality is always cruel, good people may not have good rewards, everything has to be spoken with strength." In troubled times, those who can't go to the end can never be called successful. ”

Carter smiled and said, "Okay Dimis, I, Carter, have long been clear about your thoughts. Anyway, it's not bad for you to think so, but I feel like you're still a little too aggressive. Well, if you can find a way for me to win over a bunch of Alto's Robit and Cook, and everything will be as you say, how about that? ”

Dimis replied happily: "It turns out that our commander-in-chief has a plan in mind, and it is indeed necessary for Alto's group to fight for it, if we can get their joining, then the commander-in-chief will be like a tiger with wings, and we will definitely be famous in the world of Knight in the future." Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief, this matter is on me. ”

Carter sneered and said, "Dimis, don't talk too much. Robit and Cook have their own ideas, and there are some things we can't give, and things aren't that easy. If you can't successfully invite them to join the group, then don't tell me what you say today, you know? The current situation is very chaotic, and whoever dares to stand on the cusp of the storm at this time will die a miserable death. ”

Dimis nodded stunned and replied, "Understood, Commander-in-Chief." ”

Hearing Dimis answer this, Carter smiled at him and toasted, his expression looking very natural.

Looking at Carter so calmly, Dimis felt that he was becoming more and more stable, just like Carter said, Dimis himself felt that he was indeed a little aggressive. However, Dimis did feel the aura of a king above Carter's head, and he always felt that only Carter could be the savior of the Knight world, and no one had the strength and qualifications to do it better than him.
