"Knight King?!" The parliamentarians muttered to themselves, unlike the nobility of other principalities, whose prestige as the knightly king of the new Roman Empire shook the entire Western world.

Although he only appeared on the battlefield and was never recognized by the New Roman Empire, the Scouts of the Holy See always claimed that there was an exceptionally impressive army on the battlefields between the New Roman Empire and the Bolgars, and that wherever they went, the Bolgar defenses crumbled. At that time, the Holy See had been secretly supporting the rebellion of the Bolgars, and even sent the elite mechs of the Inquisition, but suffered a crushing defeat on the banks of the Danube. At this point, the Western world for the first time comprehended the power of the new Roman Empire's mecha.

Since the Crusades, the discovery of the Holy Sepulchre has changed the pattern of the whole world, and the small size of the territory is no longer an obstacle to the ambitions of the Holy See. The Holy See, which quickly divided the technology in the ruins of Jerusalem with the New Roman Empire, quickly subdued the surrounding princes and nobles, and began to have friction with the original suzerain, the New Roman Empire, but the Battle of Bolgar gave the Holy See a blow to the head, and the belligerent cardinals were speechless, and the New Roman Empire used its strength to calm them down.

And it was also because of this incident that the title of knight king spread throughout the West.

Because in the city of Sofia, a knight of the New Roman Empire actually defeated the 5,000 troops of more than a dozen elite knights of the Holy See and the Bulgarians by himself. The defeated Bulgars gave the knight the title of Butcher of the Bolgars, the second time after Basil II.

And in that battle, the nations watched the battle as neutrals, and they called the mighty knight the Knight King in awe.

And the nobles of Novgorod naturally knew about these things, but after all, it was hearsay, not to mention that there was really a knight king, and in the end Constantinople was still captured by the Holy See, and the former empire is now crumbling.

Solzhenitsyn looked at the stunned nobles and said calmly: "As you can see, when Novgorod was in danger, Constance Dante, who killed Kniprod, was the former knight king of the New Roman Empire. And he will take up the post of Grand Duke of Novgorod and lead us out of the predicament. ”

Many people knew about Consdant's killing of Kniprod, but today was the first time they had seen this young man, who was only in his early twenties, and was able to kill the head of the Teutonic Knights in the north, which was enough to make many people fearful.

And Constance Dante was dressed plainly, looking at the crowd indifferently and did not say anything.

He looked at the parliamentarians in front of him, his mood was as calm as water, and Consdante, who had not intended to accept it, finally agreed to Solzhenitsyn's request under the persuasion of Grand Imam Isdell. Because Constantine had to go to Constantinople, and this not only required the help of Novgorod, but also the safety of Princess Bonifazia during his absence.

Knight King!

This title immediately shocked many people, and even after the fall of the New Roman Empire, its impact on Rus' was still huge. And if the royal family of the new Roman Empire was to serve as the Grand Duke of Novgorod, it would not be impossible, not to mention that even if this young man seized power with them, they would not be as worried as Alexander. Moreover, such words invisibly linked the new Roman Empire to Novgorod, which was equivalent to raising the status of Novgorod in Rus'.

Why not? Some legislators couldn't help but feel a little moved. In particular, Knizov and Medvedev, who had seen Conseidante test drive before, belonged to the neutral faction and neither fell to Solzhenitsyn nor to Patriarch Ivalomo.

And at this moment, a discordant voice suddenly appeared.

"It's ridiculous!"

Everyone's eyes immediately converged, and it was Patriarch Ivelomo.

"Do you dare to believe such nonsense as the Knight King?" The man said coldly, especially to Constance Dante, Ivillus showed a mocking look, "The so-called gifted knight thinks it is the knight king, this kind of thing is simply a fantasy. It's just a monster, do you think he's a venerable new Roman royalty? "The one who was most outraged by the mess Alexander left behind was Patriarch Ivelumo, who had always regarded himself as a defender, and his hostility to Solzhenitsyn had long since reached the point of no return.

"Think about what Alexander brought us, he took everyone in the agency with him, and Plushenkas carried the secrets and essence of our mecha technology. The Grand Duke of Novgorod could no longer be held by a Gentiles. Ivelumo's words also touched a lot of people. Originally, Novgorod was very xenophobic, and Alexander was the only one who had a Gentile as Grand Duke, and now an unidentified Gentile would replace Alexander, and many people were not at ease.

However, Constance Dante spoke at this time: "There is one point I would like to ask His Excellency the Patriarch. Excuse me, if it weren't for Archduke Alexander, would you really have been able to hold off the Teutonic Knights for so long and eliminate the main force of the Teutonic Knights in the end? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed.

No matter how much they want to deny it, the nobles know that without Alexander, they can't stop the Teutonic Knights at all, whether it is the new army or mecha technology, these are Alexander's hard work and have nothing to do with the nobles, but the more they think about it, the more unwilling they feel, the reason is very simple, in their eyes, this is Alexander's betrayal!

"You are presumptuous! You Gentile ・・・・・・," said an enraged Ivelumo.

But he was not interrupted by Consdante, "I am not asking you now as a Gentile, but as a knight-king of New Rome, unless you say that Novgorod is not a part of Rus, and that Rus is not a vassal of the New Roman Empire." ”

"Who knows who you are?"

Ivelumo didn't expect this young man to be so clever, and he didn't pay any attention to his might, which was obviously a character that he had developed after being accustomed to seeing the posture of the powerful. But how could Iwilumo willingly make Cons-Dante the Grand Duke, he had his own selfish motive, that is, he hoped that his nephew could become the ruler of Novgorod.

But a majestic old voice suddenly sounded at this moment.

"What if, old decay testifies? I wonder if His Excellency the Patriarch can believe it? I saw Grand Imam Isder walk in with slow steps and asked. (To be continued.) )
