Section 98 Anger at Cologne
The Dragon City Knights tournament produced a champion Cook, who crushed the former Megatron Lockhan hero Assel and Reesburg hero Dimis all down. Cook was only fifteen years old, and at the age of fifteen he won the championship, and his strength can be imagined, and he is even more incredible when he becomes an adult. The extraordinary strength of the young Cook has become Knight's most popular character in one fell swoop, and there are even many voices who have begun to call Cook the new generation of the god of war.
After the end of the competition, Railton led the nobles of Knight to knight and reward the heroes at the Duke of Dragon's Palace. Even though Prince Railton was unwilling, after Cook won the championship, he had to hold an official Earl Succession Ceremony for Cook, becoming the most honorary of all the winners.
It was nothing to Cook, because according to the old system of the kingdom, he should have inherited his father's earldom, but this moment came a little late.
Siew Do-sung, Arcel, Dimis and Basel finished behind Cook in the tournament, and together with Cook, they occupied the top five in turn, and the other four were knighted as Viscounts of the Kingdom by His Royal Highness Prince Relton. The last five are Anne, Montpot, Carter, Thomas and Mirรณ, occupying the throne of the last five, each with the title of baron.
After completing the knighthood, Railton continued, "You are the new force of my knight, and the kingdom will depend on you heroes in the future, and after we work together to repel the barbarians, I will divide the territory for you and share the wealth." โ
There is a knighthood and no territory, which seems to be just an empty name, but even this is much better than before, except for the champion, the top ten in the previous tournament have no chance to get the title at all.
Railton said happily again: "In view of the lack of talents in my kingdom, you heroes should directly serve as the head of the new army of the Knights, so that we can quickly form our new Knight army." โ
As soon as this blockbuster news came out, everyone was pleasantly surprised, the winner of the previous competition could only serve as the chief knight, but now he is directly the head of the group, which is definitely great news. The crowd was overjoyed and thanked the prince verbally.
Then Prince Railton praised Cook by name and said, "Cook, I didn't expect you to be more powerful than your father, Earl Fox, how do you want me to reward you again?" โ
Cook smiled and said, "The reward is still enough, I, Cook, am not greedy." If His Royal Highness the Prince must ask for another reward, then please ask His Royal Highness the Prince to arrange me under the command of the Duke of Caldis, and I will definitely follow the Duke of Caldis to serve the kingdom well. โ
"Duke Caldis?" , This name is very unfamiliar to Railton, he doesn't understand who this person is talking about, could it be that which duke changed his name?
Just when Railton was very confused, Miller spoke: "Your Royal Highness, the Duke of Haba is Caldis, the son of William, who disappeared that year. โ
"Oh!" Prince Relton nodded suddenly and said, "I said, no wonder Duke Haba is so powerful, and in danger he is still thinking about saving me and Basel back to Dragon City." It turned out to be the son of William, the Knight of Fengdu, which is great. So Cook and Duke Haba are cousins, no wonder Cook wants to follow Duke Haba, good! โ
Cook was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and immediately corrected and said: "Your Royal Highness, it's the Duke of Caldis, and we don't have Haba anymore in Knight." โ
After hearing this, Railton raised his head and laughed: "Hahaha, yes, yes, yes, it's Duke Caldis, what a nice name." โ
After saying that, Railton happily beckoned to Count Xodor, and when Count Xodor approached, the prince asked in a low voice, "Lord Earl, would you be willing if I asked you to join Lord Caldis and become a member of Alto's new territory?" โ
Kesodo replied with a salute: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, Prince, for fulfilling it, I have this intention." โ
"Good!" , Railton immediately announced loudly: "In order to thank Commander William for his loyalty to the kingdom, today I will give a special award to William's son, Lord Duke Caldis, and all the Dragon City territories south of the Dragon City River will be classified as the territory of Lord Caldis, and in the future, Lord Count Xodor will return to Lord Duke Caldis." โ
Such a reward Railton did not consult with Duke Thatcher in advance, and it was a decision made by the prince on the spot after hearing that Haba was Caldis. Although Duke Thatcher didn't say anything on the surface, he felt very uneasy in his heart, after all, his territory was becoming less and less, which made him feel very depressed.
However, although Thatcher didn't say anything, Cologne jumped out and was the first to object: "Your Royal Highness, I Cologne think this matter is inappropriate, Duke Haba has been on the side of the barbarians for ten years, and whether his heart is really towards us Knight now, this is not known." Last year, it was already an extraordinary gift to him to divide half of the land south of the Longcheng River, and now he has to give him so much land, which is absolutely unacceptable."
Before Prince Railton could answer, Cook walked out with an angry eye, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Cologne and said, "Duke Cologne, why did you call me cousin just now?" Tell me again. โ
Cologne looked at Cook in a daze, for this new knight tournament champion, he could no longer underestimate Cook as before.
After recalling for a while, Cologne turned to Caldis and saluted: "I'm sorry Lord Caldis, I was a little unaccustomed to coming here just now, and I made a mistake of the tongue, it was definitely a mistake of the tongue." โ
Cook immediately said: "Even if you are a slip of the tongue, I hope that everyone will stop calling me cousin like that in the future, otherwise don't blame me Cook for being unkind." Also, all the Knight lands in this world were originally owned by the royal family, and to whom does His Royal Highness want to redistribute that territory, as if you are not qualified to object to this, Duke of Cologne? โ
Cologne was stunned when he heard this, he flicked his sleeves in embarrassment, pouted and muttered: "I'm not qualified to object, I'm just, I'm just complaining for Duke Thatcher, this territory was originally Lord Thatcher's, why should I divide a new territory in Dragon City." โ
Thatcher was a master of power, and he smiled slowly: "Duke of Cologne, my Dragon City territory was originally given by the royal family, today it belongs to me, and tomorrow it belongs to whom, as a courtier loyal to the kingdom, of course I listen to the arrangement of His Royal Highness the Prince." I didn't think it was wrong for Thatcher, so why should you complain about me? โ
Cologne's face turned red when he heard this, and he was very ashamed to bend down and salute, which was regarded as an apology to the prince.
Railton glanced at Cologne with a look of displeasure, and then continued to announce, "Ten Knights have been selected for the competition, and then we will have to create a new Knights for the leaders. Thanks to Lord Viscount Miller for the many horses we have sold, we have been able to raise a glass to meet the conditions of ten knights, and the formation of the army will be entrusted to Lord Thatcher. In addition, in order to manage all our armies well, I have decided to divide our knightly army, including the knightly order that will be formed, into three legions. โ
After the prince finished speaking, there was a commotion in the audience, and everyone started to talk about it, they didn't expect His Royal Highness the prince to make such a big move, and the others didn't know it at all, even Duke Thatcher was kept in the dark.
Ignoring everyone's reactions, Prince Railton continued: "
The commander-in-chief of the First Legion was Caldis, and the deputy commander-in-chief was Robit, and there were five knights under the jurisdiction of Cook, Mompot, and Anne.
The commander-in-chief of the Second Legion is Carter, and the deputy commander-in-chief is Xiao Daocheng, under the jurisdiction of Arcel, Dimis, and Miro, a total of five new knights.
The commander-in-chief of the Third Legion was Cologne, the deputy commander-in-chief was Spartt and Odosa, and the five knights were under the jurisdiction of Kudunster, Gobinny, Basel, and Thomas.
The commander-in-chief of the Fourth Legion was Thatcher, Lord of Dragon City, and the deputy commander-in-chief was Mozart, with O'Higgins, Baruger, and Simon under its command, a total of three knights. The main duty of the Fourth Army is to guard our territory and ensure the supply and supply of the army. โ
After speaking, Railton said to Kudonster: "In view of the fact that the Duke of Caldis is not in the top ten of the competition, and there is no separate knight order under his command, please ask Kudonst to transfer another knight order from Seoul to the Duke of Caldis." โ
Kudonster opened his mouth and replied, "Your Royal Highness, the Prince!" โ
Railton nodded, and then asked the crowd, "Do you have any objections?" โ
The nobles looked at each other, they had never thought of such an arrangement, and it was obvious that they were dissatisfied in their hearts, but no one dared to speak.
Cologne alone is indispensable, and he said angrily: "Your Royal Highness, it seems a little inappropriate for you to let two young men serve as the commanders of the First and Second Legions, right?" โ
"Are you trying to say Carter is too young?" , Railton asked rhetorically.
"No, no, no!" , Cologne is naturally not aimed at Carter, he explained: "I have seen the power of the affairs of the elder Cologne, but the Duke of Haba ......"
Before Cologne could finish speaking, a black shadow suddenly flashed, and he kicked Cologne to the ground with a kick, startling Cologne to look up in a hurry.
Seeing Cook standing in front of him angrily, Cologne angrily rebuked: "Cook, are you crazy? Where have I offended you? โ
Cook said angrily, "I said that if I heard anyone insult my cousin by the name Haba, I would be rude to him." Whatever His Royal Highness the Prince says, you have to jump out and oppose it, who are you when you are, do you think that we Nate are your masters? โ
Spart, who was on the side, stretched out his hand to help Cologne up, Cologne looked at Spartt in a daze, and hurriedly told him: "Spartt, your father and I am innocent, you can help me teach this boy who doesn't know the height of the sky." โ
Spart frowned and glanced at Cook, thought for a few seconds, and then turned to Cologne and said, "Father, I think that as a courtier, I should obey all the arrangements of His Royal Highness the Prince. Since His Royal Highness the Prince has arranged it this way, there must be a deep truth, you and I will implement it, so why should you bother? โ
After listening to Spart's words, Cologne rolled his eyes angrily, in front of so many people, Spart's saying this about himself, he really doubted that Spartt regarded himself as a father.
At this time, Duke Thatcher spoke: "Lord Cologne thinks that he is in the third legion, and he is a little dissatisfied with the number behind, right?" It's just that, and it doesn't mean anything, so why do you bother? โ
Cologne looked at Thatcher with a sad face, and had to salute and say: "Since Duke Thatcher also said so, then I, Cologne, have no opinion, and everything is arranged by His Royal Highness the Prince." โใ After saying that, Cologne glared at Cook viciously, and then stood there motionless in a huff.
"That's good!" Prince Railton stood up and said to everyone, "Since everyone has no other opinions, this matter has been decided. Next, please ask each territory to act separately, recruit a large number of knights for the new army, and transport all the hoarded materials to Dragon City, there must be no mistake! โ
Everyone replied in unison, "Yes, Your Highness the Prince!" โ
After the discussion was over, the nobles and knights took their leave, and Carter turned his head into the inner courtyard of the mansion and chased after Thatcher.
In one room, Carter whispered to Duke Thatcher and said, "Lord Duke, what is going on today, Your Royal Highness the Prince, that so many important decisions have suddenly been promulgated?" How could I not know anything beforehand? โ
Duke Thatcher said very unhappily: "Don't talk about you, I don't know anything about it, just like you." โ
Carter thought about it and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince didn't even discuss such an important matter with you in advance, does he not trust the Duke?" โ
Thatcher shook her head and replied, "Not really." I think His Royal Highness the Prince may have to take charge of the power himself, and he has his own opinions on many things, and may not take our advice. This prince is very smart and capable, and we must be careful in what we say and do in the future. โ
Carter's face showed surprise after hearing this, but seeing that Thatcher didn't want to say anything, it was worth saying goodbye and leaving the Duke's Palace.
When they returned to their lodgings, Dimis and the others had already set up the wine and meat and waited for Carter to come back to celebrate, because through their efforts, Carter finally got ahead and got the throne of commander of the Second Army, and the name Carter will definitely be remembered by all Knight people from now on.
