Nano knelt down on one knee, "Your Excellency, I have failed to live up to your expectations and failed to bring reinforcements to the cathedral. ”

Archbishop Fein didn't show a look of disappointment, as if he had expected it, and he said gently, "Please, Flash Swordsman, it's not your fault. Tell us about the aristocratic quarter. ”

Nanoyi Yan stood up, and then spoke, "You are right, Marquis of Saya betrayed us. ”

As soon as these words came out, the air in the room seemed to freeze.

"......," Archbishop Fein was silent for a moment before sighing, "I expected it, but it still makes me very sad when I confirm it. I've known Marquis Sayah since he was young, an old friend for so many years, but I didn't expect him to choose this path in the end-"

After a pause, he added: "-No, perhaps, he has already chosen this path. ”

"You're right," Nano nodded, "After I entered the aristocratic district, I found that it had completely turned into an abyssal labyrinth, and the degree of distortion was already comparable to those sunken places on the edge of the abyss, and if it wasn't for early preparation, the abyss would not have corrupted the aristocratic district in such a short period of time." ”

Archbishop Fein sighed again, "You go on. ”

"Yes. I entered the labyrinth, only to find that it was too big to imagine, and I am afraid that some of it was directly connected to the abyss. "I've come a long way, and I've had a long way to go, and I've never found the Knights of the Covenant trapped in the labyrinth. ”

Although the newly-born Knights of the Covenant have only been rebuilt for a few days, their combat effectiveness is not weak.

More than a hundred years ago, almost all of the noble families from the wasteland of Cologne were members of the Knights of the Covenant, and when the banner of the Covenant was raised again, a considerable number of nobles left the Order of Saya and joined the Knights of the Covenant.

This is not a betrayal, as for the reason, it is necessary to start with the origin of the Knights of Sayya.

After the Knights of the Covenant fell apart, the form of the wasteland's resistance to the invasion of the abyss also took a sharp turn, and the lords of the wasteland were crushed and retreated to Cologne Fort and the surrounding area, bringing a deformed prosperity to the place, but also a big problem.

There are many contradictions, but the core question is: Who to listen to?

At that time, there were not only the Sayer family of nobles, but the Sayer family itself owned the land in the Cologne Fort area, and the proximity to the water occupied the advantageous position of the Cologne Fort Fortress. But it was impossible to get the other nobles to obey the Sayya, who began decades of infighting in the borderlands.

Without any surprise, the entire wasteland finally fell completely in the midst of infighting.

Under the mediation of the Grand Master of the Knights of Gavia, the nobles redefined their sphere of influence, which allowed the border to settle down and halted the advance of the Abyss army.

In the entire history of the Covenant Knights, the Saya family is not an important role, although they have the title of marquis, but compared to those powerful wasteland lords, it can be said that there is a big gap, according to normal circumstances, most of these small nobles from the wasteland will not want to be attached to the Saya family, they are emotionally closer to those wasteland lords who also fled, but the Saya family came up with a brilliant idea at this time, Half of the minor nobles were able to settle in the territory of Cologneburg.

For most nobles, they could not accept the reality of the Knights of the Covenant falling apart, they watched one race after another choose to leave after the human race lost the Covenanters, watched the fortress of the Knights of the Covenant fall, watched the battle banner of the Covenant being trampled, they did not believe that the Knights of the Covenant would fail, and they were always looking forward to the reappearance of the Covenant people who inherited the blood of the Balzac family.

The Saya family found out about this, and then made a decision that shocked everyone - the current Marquis of Sayer announced that he would contribute Cologne to the Covenant Knights, and as long as the Covenanters could reappear, Cologne would dedicate Cologne to the Covenant Knights as a new headquarters, and the families who joined the Sayer Knights could unconditionally transfer to the Covenanters, without being bound by the rules of nobility!

This decision caused most of the nobles who remained loyal to the Knights of the Covenant to stay in Cologne, and eventually developed Cologne into a steel fortress that resisted the invasion of the Abyss, and the Sayer family became the most powerful of the lords of the Old Wasteland.

However, success is also this decision, and defeat is also this decision.

The Saya family naturally didn't want the Knights of the Covenant to really make a comeback, and they used many means to ensure this.

Fortunately for them, the last blood of the Balzac family, Lady Angeline Balzac, was heartbroken, disgusted with the glamorous strife and the sword of the Covenant that had allowed her family, grandfather, father, elder brother, and younger brother to die one after another, and she brought back to Fort Colón those guards and guardians who were still absolutely loyal to the Balzac family and the Knights of the Covenant, leaving them incognito, and sealing the Sword of the Covenant and the Banner of the Covenant that only the blood of the Balzac family could use, Changed his name and surname.

According to common sense, the Knights of the Covenant will never see the light of day again, but no one expected that the great-grandsons of this generation would be able to find out the secrets that their family had buried, and at the same time have enough action and luck to complete this impossible task under the eyes of the Marquis of Saya, so that the banner of the Covenant will be raised again.

The Marquis of Sayer immediately understood his embarrassing position, whether to follow the oath of his ancestors? Do you want to disband the Knights of Saya and return to the Covenanters? If they do so, if the Sayer family doesn't finish talking, then there will be no possibility of getting ahead, and all the efforts of the family over the past hundred years have finally been for the sake of the remnants of the Balzac family!

These days, one family after another has announced their independence from the Knights of the Sayah and their return to the Knights of the Covenant. In an instant, the overall strength of the Knights of the Covenant overwhelmed the Knights of Sayer, and they became the de facto rulers of Cologneburg, and the Marquis of Sayer lost almost all of his vassal power except for the minor nobles he brought. Although the Knights of the Covenant are now in their infancy, and things are complicated, the House of Saya has undoubtedly been excluded from the core of power, and it may not be long before the reckoning of the Count of Balzac will come.

The rebellion of the Marquis of Saya is nothing unthinkable.
