Chapter 280: Coercion

"At this time, maybe the Knight King can come in handy!"

Unexpectedly, this sentence was actually uttered by Andopoulis, and the other councillors looked at him in amazement. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

And Angelos's face also showed a meaningful smile, "Oh? I didn't expect you to say that, Secretary Andopolis? Didn't you emphasize the danger of the Knight King in the first place? How could you choose to believe him? ”

"Even though it's dangerous, I don't deny his power." Andopoules replied calmly, not shy about anything.

"The Knight King?" All the councillors looked at each other, wasn't that the young man they had locked up not long ago? Andopoulis, who was not a strong opponent of the return of the Knight King, actually demanded his release to fight for the kingdom.

"It's surprising that Andopolisis would say that......" Anglos pretended to be surprised, but in fact he didn't mean anything surprised in his heart, now that the Seljuks were in the city, no one could turn the situation around except Cons Dante. But now what he was most concerned about was not these, but this military campaign of the Turks. What made them know the news of Trebizond's emptiness, and more importantly, the purpose of their attack. An army of 10,000 people is not too much, but it is not too much to say less. Now that the Seljuks and the Crusaders are at a standoff, they have completely lost control of Anatolia due to the previous crushing defeat, and if they cannot continue to stop the Rastins, the last half of the Seljuk Empire will be lost, so it stands to reason that such a large army movement is undoubtedly abnormal.

Unless there is some reason for Trabizond to come, what value would make the Seljuks willing to take the risk! Knight King, or Merrides' mecha stats? It seems that Trebizond is not monolithic!

At this time, Andopoulis said nonchalantly: "No, as we said before, in the war years, even prisoners can get weapons to go to war. ”

"But you also said that you can't trust the prisoner to turn the muzzle of the gun, do you?" Angelos was also surprised by the nobles, who had expected the king to simply agree to Andoples' request, but now it seemed that this was not the case at all, and he seemed to be deliberately making things difficult.

But at this moment, Angros changed his words again, "Unless Andopolis you think that the Knight King himself is trustworthy." ”

"Of course not!" Andopolis naturally heard the voice of the king in front of him, and Angelos's intention was nothing more than to exchange this for more political weight and make him make concessions.

But how could he be willing to let the knight king regain a place in the kingdom, the existence of the knight king is already very eye-catching, and the revival of the old glory of the empire is certainly possible, but it is by no means dependent on those people in Constantinople at the beginning, and the master of the empire should also be replaced.

There have been several dynasties in the nearly 1,000-year history of New Rome, and Andopoulis thought that the new dynasty should certainly be established by them, and the so-called "Great Komnenos" was only a superficial layer.

"Your Majesty, there are some charges that cannot be washed away. Sinners are always sinners, and all I am saying is the need for the power of the Knight King, not the Knight King himself. As for whether you are worried about the guilty taking up arms and turning the muzzle, of course, I am worried, but with proper control, even sinners can become sharp weapons in our hands. Andopolis whispered without hesitation, and his words caused the other nobles to nod.

"At this time, I think it's time to invite our Knight King!" Andopoules suddenly raised his voice and said in a loud voice.

Tsk - Angels' eyebrows twisted together. My heart sank.

Sure enough, this man deserves to be the one who has been fighting with him for many years.

Although Anglos was ostensibly king of Trebizond, he did not have enough power to control the country or even decide on his own heir. In contrast, Andopolis and the Pario family behind him are the rulers of Trebizond. In fact, as early as thirty years ago, the Pallio family had become a princely power on one side. Of course, their ambition is not only to be the overlord of one side in peace, but to keep an eye on the throne that belongs to the emperor, and since he was invited by them to come as a puppet, Angros has clearly understood the intentions of the Paglio family, they want to build an empire of their own.

"Da Da Da" This was the sound of footsteps that attracted the pace of the councilors, and the door of the House of Elders was pushed open again.

A man with his head covered in a black cloth bag was brought in by heavily armed guards, his hands and feet shackled, who bowed to the councillors and removed the hood to reveal a pale face, none other than ConsΓ© Dante, who had been locked up in the dungeon. At this time, he appeared in front of those nobles again like a prisoner.

Is that the case again?

Although he didn't know what was going on, Consdante sneered inwardly, and he looked at those people just as he had looked at the nobles of the Senate in Constantinople. All he wanted was to use himself, and at this time, Constance Dante had some resentment in his heart for Vivien and Belhis, who had brought him here, but they had come to the original point again, and these people were actually no different at all.

And what about them now? Constance Dante's own situation is already like this, so Vivien and Bercy must be affected as well.

"Your Royal Highness the Knight King, it's a pleasure for us to meet again." Andopoulis's voice was so disgusting to Consitine Dante's ears. But the man still kept his original smile, and looked at Consei-Dante as if he were a worm ready to be pinched to death.

"Yes, we did meet again, but I didn't feel pleasant." Constance Dante sneered. "What's the matter, what reminds you of me again. Is there any internal and external trouble that puts you in danger of becoming a lost dog? ”

ConsdΓ© Dante's ridicule made everyone's faces change, and some of the members of the House of Elders couldn't help but stand up, how could they have been insulted like this and still be a young man!

"Andopolis, how can you let him make a big deal out of it here!"

"What a presumptuous!"

Angros couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect Constance Dante to take the initiative to provoke like this. Can it be persuaded that the House of Elders is the only way to get Conseidante out of this predicament, after all, Trebizond is not enough to let the Paglio family dominate, but now Consitor Dante's uncooperative attitude is the worst.

Angros didn't pay attention to the arguments of the other councillors at all, he walked down the steps slowly, he was very tall and a head and a half taller than Constance Dante, and saw the man looking down at Constance Dante: "Knight King, were you very proud just now?" ”

Constance, Dante, on the other hand, looked coldly at the man in high power and did not speak.

"For you, the big men on top are arguing. And instead of cherishing it, you are provoking us with such rude words. This is clearly not in keeping with your status. Wherever the Knight King goes, there will be bloody wind and rain to follow, but in reality you are just a martial artist. It's such a disappointment," Andopoules said.

And Constance Dante was slightly stunned, he didn't understand what this man meant by saying this...... Yes, what if the bloody rain always makes those nobles tremble, and even destroys one powerful Rastin army after another, in fact, he is a martial artist, a tool of the superior.

Sometimes he thinks that if he had given up sooner, maybe there wouldn't have been so many bad things, and maybe he wouldn't have to bother with all these intrigues.

"Don't you want to defend yourself?" Angros asked. "Now we're talking about whether or not to re-enable you. This will be your chance. Fourteen years ago you betrayed the Empire, and we don't know if you will betray us now. ”

"No, there's nothing to justify. It's not that it's indefensible, it's that there's no need for it at all. If you think I've betrayed the Empire, what right do I have to deny it? ”

Angros also shook his head helplessly in his heart at this time, Constance Dante seems to be a very inconspicuous ordinary person on the surface, but when you look at him, you will find that he is as unruly as an eagle in the sky, even if the storm makes him break his wings, he will not give in.

"That's what you yourself admitted before, didn't you? And it seems like you think you should be able to get out safely, right? Let me tell you the truth, Trabizon is in great danger now, and our current enemy, the Seljuk army, is already under the city, and we have no one to stop it. Now it seems that with the help of your power is inevitable. Andopoulis didn't care about the eyes of others and told the truth directly.

Consitine Dante looked directly into Andopoulis' unfathomable eyes and did not answer. From the previous meeting, Constance Dante understood that the other party had an unexpected hostility towards him, and this man was still a representative of these nobles, and every conversation seemed like a confrontation.

Once the wolf king spoke, the wolves were silent.

The situation seemed to be in his favor, but Consei-Dante knew that this man could not let him go easily, and he certainly would not bow to him.

"And what about your attitude?" Constance Dante asked unceremoniously, and at the same time, he was also testing the other party's bottom line.

"My attitude? Is my attitude really important at this point? Andopulis shook his head, "Knight King, but have you ever wondered what really supports this country?" Is it a soldier as brave as His Highness? Or are we people in high positions? ”

Constance Dante was stunned again, he didn't understand the other party's intentions.

"It's the system, and it's the system that really supports this country." Andopoules said, "A country can only be strengthened by strong institutional guarantees that the state apparatus can be strong and able to function non-stop." It seemed to you that the empire was once a country where the aristocracy, the rich, and the high could do whatever they wanted, but have you ever wondered how this country could have existed for thousands of years if this was the case? ”

"Can those in higher positions do whatever they want? Can those who have the ability be blind? Angros shook his head, "Don't forget Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness, you were once one of the Empire's top powers, but you and even Emperor Scipio can't ignore the rules and ignore the system. A nation's greatest enemy is never an invasion from within, but a heresy that breeds from within. You do have the ability, although you are a knight king, but it is not an exaggeration to be regarded as a monster. You may be able to help us resist the Seljuk invasion, but your power is destructive, and if your power is not limited, sooner or later Trabizon will repeat the mistakes of the Empire."

He leaned close to Cezel's ear, "Don't be in a hurry to deny it, do you really remember everything from the beginning?" Could it be that Your Highness, you are really worthy of your heart? There was still a gentle smile in his voice, and every word that could come out was cold to the bone.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Constance Dante shuddered slowly, but he stared at Andopoulis. This man knows a little too much.

"No, I just want to tell you that this thing didn't end so easily. The world is fair, and even you, the Knight King, have to pay for the sins you have committed. You don't want me to make any concessions. Now you have only one choice, and that is to give in and fight for us. You can choose to refuse, but Belthes and Vivien are going to die. Imagine that they are now in the Western Theater of Operations, and with just one order, they can die on the battlefield. Andopoules whispered, like a devil whispering in his ear.

Constance Dante jerked his head up, and the veins at the base of his neck flare. He never expected that this man would actually use such a despicable method.

"Coward!"

At that moment, he wanted to pounce on the man again and beat him severely, but this time the chains that bound the beast tightened suddenly, and the furious appearance of Constance Dante was extremely hideous, and his roar echoed in the elders' house: "What do you want to do?" ”

"Do I need to repeat this?" Andopolis sneered.

The eyes that were always lowered lowered burst out with a terrifying fierce light. There seemed to be a whirlpool in the blue pupils of the lake, and people were to suck it in and smash it.

Anglos could only look at Constance Dante like this, he still underestimated his enemy too much, he didn't expect the other party to use such extraordinary means. More importantly, however, Constance Dante's performance was equally disappointing.
