Chapter 45: Some Regrets (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
"Count Bayonne...... There was nothing wrong with him, he was not infected by the darkness, nor was he favored by the light. ”
"He's been ...... all these years Maybe you've been playing dumb!"
Bishop Kelvin Leslie's calm voice rang out, and the room fell silent for a longer time.
"Yes, yes, he must have been playing dumb before!"
Viscount Fort Czecoman was the first to react, echoing Bishop Kelvin Leslie's words loudly.
His face was beaming, and he finally stopped being flustered and frightened, while the calm and determined General Cardo looked a little dazed, and he looked at Bishop Kelvin Leslie, who was dressed in a white monk's robe, as if for the first time he had seen the essence of this high-ranking clergyman who flaunted himself with his noble character.
"Do you think he can play dumb in front of so many bishops in the Church of Light and the Church of Twilight? His godmother is Archbishop Juanita Randolph!"
"Cardo, I won't hide anything, I will report everything that happens here to the Sacred Heart Church, only the above can determine whether he is really favored by the gods......"
Kelvin Leslie looked at Cardo and continued very calmly, "I can understand your current feelings, but the Earl's situation is very delicate right now, and we had better not interfere with him too much. Believe me, Cardo, if he is truly favored by the gods, no one can hide his light. ”
"That's right, we just have to do what we have to do, and the rest of the decisions should be decided by the big guys above......"
"Alas...... Don't go......"
While Forde Zackoman was still chattering, General Cardo turned away without saying a word, as if to express his inner protest with this silent silence.
Cardo is a soldier, and he still retains the pure temperament unique to some soldiers, although he was forced to do something contrary to his heart, but he still has the bottom line of persistence.
The darkness passed, the light came, and as the rising sun seemed to be hidden in the blazing sun.
The fortress of Ferent was noisy again, and the soldiers, who had been blowing the cold wind on the walls all night, hurried back to catch up on sleep, and the men who had just woken up had to get up from their dirty warm nests with their empty stomachs in order to get their food rations to survive. The events that had happened in the city last night didn't seem to have had any impact on the fortress.
The Lorraine camp was busy early, and a group of servants and maids, under the command of Roy the butler and Olive as "one of the heads of the family", sorted the piles of miscellaneous items and packed them for shipment.
Ordinary people may not have heard the roar of Kelvin Leslie in the middle of the night last night, but how could Lola and Roy, who are transcendentals, not hear it, thinking of the recent turmoil of the Chevalier family, they all silently prayed that they would not have anything to do with themselves again.
Yesterday afternoon, Charles had already asked them to tidy up the camp and prepare to leave the Ferent Fortress, and Lola and Roy, who were a little uneasy, reached a tacit consensus for the first time, and helped the people complete a lot of tidying up work with super high efficiency.
Roy, the butler, saw Charles coming out of the house, and hurriedly came over to ask for instructions: "Master, according to your orders, all of us have to leave, so there are a lot of things to pack, and we can probably leave the day after tomorrow, do you think let Bourne and them leave by boat with us at that time?"
"Or ...... Let them come with us! Lorraine territory is in chaos right now, and we must figure out the situation before making the next decision. ”
"Okay master, then I'll arrange it now, we have a total of four boats at the docks, and a squeeze should allow everyone to leave together. ”
Charles nodded in agreement, his composure already had the appearance of the head of the house, but the reality was ...... Charles is having a headache over Olive Spirit's assertions.
He always felt like he was in a big whirlpool of trouble.
Without consulting Charles, Olive recruited Bourne and the others as family knights, and also divided a large territory out.
If this matter is judged according to the rules of the nobility, there is nothing wrong with Olive Live's approach, most of the knights loyal to the Chevalier family in the Lorraine region have been buried in Bya, and now there is a large gap in the family's control base in the Lorraine region, and there is an urgent need for people with a high force value like Byrne to suppress the "Diaomin" who are ready to move on behalf of the family, and deal with those ungrateful rebellions.
It was a common trick of the nobility to recruit elite mercenaries to enrich the family's strength, and it only took a little territory to make those rude men sell the lives of their children and grandchildren, and what could be a better deal?
But Olive didn't know the identity of Bourne and the others as "freelancers", or even if she knew, she wouldn't necessarily care, there were more people who rebelled against the nobles, and she never saw the aristocratic class overthrown by the commoners, but waves of civilians turned into nobles because of the resistance.
However, Charles knew that the rebels with a base area were essentially very different from the unrooted rogues, and the idea of equality for all people would spread at an astonishing speed when it hit the right soil.
When the time comes, if there is really another heavenly kingdom to come out, Charles will have to be implicated.
"It seems..... I'm going to use some tricks to corrupt them into my personal thugs and professional dogs. ”
Charles looked at Forde, Gerson, Foreman and others who were busy carrying things, and had an "evil" plan in his heart.
To the south of the fortress of North Ferent is the Bisoa River, which separates the kingdoms of Florence and Bya from the north to the south, and also to the west with the wide sea, the Atlanta Ocean.
In this era when most of the land transportation was still dependent on animal-powered vehicles, water transportation had incomparable advantages, so the Ferent Fortress had a considerable river wharf on the north bank of the Bisoya River.
Because of the war, many sailing ships were moored at the river wharf from east to west, unloading and loading in a disorderly manner, with dirty sails, tattered planks and rude sailors, a dirty, chaotic, and poor lively and busy scene.
But in the midst of this crowded bunch of sailboats, there is a special berth, where several unusual sailboats are quietly moored.
Their sleek lines, clean canvas and delicate metal accents adorn the hull, and every part of the hull has been carefully treated and polished to make them not only durable, but also unique in their beauty.
The answer is the aristocratic flags on the mast and the metal atmat on the bow.
These are all sailing ships belonging to the wealthy families of the kingdom, representing the faces of various aristocratic families, these ships are beautiful one by one, and one is more luxurious than the other.
One of these expensive sailing ships was the "Lothair" belonging to the Chevalier family, with a hull of more than forty meters long, with neat white sails wrapped around the crossbars of three mainmasts, the highest in the middle of which was topped by the Chevalier family's bow and sword flag.
"This is a private jet from a previous life! What if you replace these rude sailors with charming flight attendants...... That's even better!"
Charles rode his horse to the side of the ship, and the crew of the family who had already had a spirit came up and grabbed the reins of the big black horse Falman, and flatteringly waited for the earl to dismount.
Smelling the stench that this crew member had gradually become accustomed to, the Earl felt both enjoyment and regret.
