Chapter XXVII: The Bloody Empire V
The brave bravery of the high-spirited young man not far away on the battlefield still surprised Duke Zilfrroy, such a brave warrior, even if he was a nobleman who had grown up in war all year round, he had only seen very few young people like him on the battlefield.
"What a valiant knight." Duke Zilfroy let out a slight sigh.
On the battlefield, with an unchaotic command, dare to carry out a surprise charge, and be more able to call on the heroic knights around him, and be more ...... Possess a strong armed force.
If such a person is not able to take his place in the future of Bretonnia, then such a person will certainly become a famous traitor in the history of Bretonnia.
When Duke Zilfroy was thinking about Lu En, Lu En had actually been summoned by Duke Zilfroy's knights, and rode a war horse from the battlefield not far away to Duke Zilfroy's side.
"Nice to meet you, Duke Zilfroy." Lu En jumped off his warhorse.
Duke Zilfroy nodded, and then he asked, "The Noble Alliance has asked me to lead an army to aid you, and it can be seen that you can completely resist the Imperial army alone." β
Lu En said: "No nobleman can resist the army of the Empire, and I also relied on the support of the army of the temple and the army of Your Excellency to win. β
Lu En hesitated for a moment, "Do you think Estella can become the queen of Bretonnia?" β
Duke Zilfroy said calmly: "I must get a unified discussion of this matter from the noble council before I can reach a conclusion. β
Lu En took a deep breath, and sure enough, after the nobles decided to rebel, they planned to simply overthrow the dynasty together, although it was painful, and it also provided a channel for many ambitious nobles to rise, but it was not in Lu En's interests.
Lu En then said, "What do you think of the future of Bretonnia as a whole?" β
Duke Zilfroy laughed: "I am old, and I can clearly feel the gradual weakness of my body, as well as the reluctance to eat more. β
"Regarding Bretonnia, to be honest, I am pessimistic, there are too many enemies in this kingdom, originally we thought that the empire was our dependence, but today it seems that the empire is not our dependence."
"The Sigmar Empire just wants to control the Kingdom of Bretonnia and make Bretonnia a part or helper of the Sigma Empire."
"This war, maybe the empire can't bear it anymore and starts to do it directly."
Lu En nodded, he closed his eyes slightly, and all kinds of things in this kingdom suddenly flashed in his mind, and then he opened his eyes: "I don't like this kingdom, and the future is bleak."
Because there is no future in Bretonnia, there are many farmers in this country every day, and they are working hard every day just so that they don't starve to death in the future.
And although the aristocracy had a sense of superiority in status, their lives were not good. I have observed my knights, most of them still wearing the armor handed down from their fathers, and although they still have a lot of wheat to eat, even knights or nobles who want to eat meat must go into the mountains to look for wild boars, or hunt for bison in the grasslands to have a chance to eat meat.
This is the current situation in Bretonnia, those who have fought for their country all their lives, can only die alone. β
Lu En said calmly: "Many people, although there are a few people whose lives are getting better day by day, but most of them are still living in dire straits, as the nobles of Bretonnia, I think we have an obligation to change this kind of thing." β
Duke Zilfroy yawned: "I'm already old, even if I want to do these things, I don't have the physical strength to do them." β
Lu En said, "No, you should help me, because I ...... To be able to make Bretonnia great again. β
"Yes," said Duke Zilfroy, "Bretonnia used to be great, at least there were no enemies around, but recently, the Beastmen, the Greenskins, and the Empire have all begun to be hostile to Bretonnia. β
"Yes," said Luen, "if Estella becomes Queen of Bretonnia, I will transform the country." β
"I can tell you unequivocally that I will not ask anyone to think of others because everyone should love themselves. There is no such thing as a person who loves others, it is only in the fantasy of philosophers.
But we should have more things that we cherish, and while reassuring ourselves, we can do what we can to help the things we cherish, such as this country, Bretonnia, and more, more.
Because our fates have already been linked, imagine what kind of fate would have happened to the ordinary people and nobles living in Bretonnia if they had become a puppet of the Empire. β
Lu En said this calmly: "Duke Zilfroy, you don't have no future, you also want to have a stable old age, don't take a sum of money and run around, and finally die in a corner where no one knows." β
"This is not your future, you should go back to your castle and live out your old age in peace, and when you die, your relatives, your children, the soldiers of your territory, some unknown serf will come to your funeral to pray for the blessings of the merciful goddess of the lake, and finally they will conclude for you that this is a very good old man."
"The serfs don't know anything, but they are able to express this sentence like you by their own feelings, you are good, very good." Lu En said calmly: "You can say that the serfs are usually lazy and rude, but you should also try to gain the respect of these people." β
Duke Zilfroy laughed dryly, in his world, there were only wars and nobles, and as for the commoners in the territory, he had little contact, and his butlers were in charge of them on weekdays.
But Luen's words don't make sense in the future.
It occurred to Duke ZilfrΓΆy that if he really took a sum of money and went to live in a city he didn't know, then when he grew old, he would probably die in a drunken state or have nothing left.
Duke Zilfroy sighed slightly, he also wanted to return to his hometown to die of old age, but now the Empire's army was engaged in a battle in the Afon Forest near Artois.
