Chapter 452: Return to Reira

Cecil was a little uncomfortable with King Rex's sudden orders, because he had the impression that Prince Rex had always trusted him. Now I know that this is not the case at all, and it seems that this very suspicious king has not been at ease with himself, whether it is his growing ability or his expanding territory, this suspicious king is probably extremely wary. Thinking of this, Cecil's heart sank suddenly. looked at King Rex in a daze, Rex also looked at Cecil gloomily at this time, Cecil felt a chill in his eyes, the king had always admired himself very much before, but he didn't expect to finally show his face to himself today.

But Cecil still accepted the king's order without hesitation, no matter what, King Rex could not be offended now, and even if the Grand Knight of Osmond was sent to lead him, as long as he held the two knights in his hands, then it would be difficult for the Grand Knight of Osmond to do something to himself. As soon as he thought of the two knights, Cecil thought of the ambiguous attitude of the Blood Eagle Knights and the Grand Knight of Bartlet, this great knight no longer seemed to be as loyal to the second prince as he was at the beginning, and it seemed that the second prince's long-term residence in the Illuk Empire had made his ability to control the old parts of the kingdom worse and worse. But Cecil found out that the Great Knight of Bartlet was secretly colluding with King Rex, and the last time he fought against the Cyclops tribe, it was vividly expressed, it seems that King Rex wants to restrain himself through the other two knights this time, but after the last battle, his reputation within the Blood Eagle Knights is also extremely high, and he will never let the past wishful thinking start.

However, the most troublesome thing is that if you are not the highest-level leader on the front, then it will be difficult for you to let Sandru walk to the barracks in a grand manner, and it will be difficult to leave the battlefield to reach the capital of the Elok Empire without being discovered. Neither Osmond nor Bartlet would ever allow a necromancer to appear in their barracks, and if they did, they would have blown up. But Cecil still decided to accept the king's order, after all, the king's order is also reasonable on the surface, and the Grand Knight of Osmond has a very high status and prestige within the kingdom, far more qualified than himself, the new earl, and he is also a logical thing as the boss of this event, and there is nothing wrong with the king's arrangement on the surface.

Cecil immediately knelt down on one knee: "Then please rest assured that His Majesty the King will cooperate with the Grand Knight of Osmond to maintain this front in the east and ensure the complete success of the overall strategy of His Majesty the King." ”

Looking at Cecil's obedient appearance as he fell on one knee, King Rex nodded with great satisfaction: "I know you will not disappoint me, the Grand Knight of Osmond is only the nominal commander-in-chief, in fact, only you are my confidant, and my appointment is just to make those old stubborns have no excuse." You know, in my position, it seems like a lot of things, but there are a lot of problems to deal with. All aspects of the relationship must be balanced, otherwise the storm of discontent caused by it will not be able to withstand even me, the king, especially since my current power is not yet secure, as long as my royal power can be secured, I promise you that I will never let you be subservient to those old things again. ”

Cecil knew that the king was good at being two-faced, and that such words were just reassuring words for himself. If his royal power is really consolidated, I'm afraid the first thing he will have to deal with is himself. From the way he looked at himself, Cecil already knew that during this time, his mistake was that he was too sharp and didn't know how to hide, and it seemed that he had made a big mistake. He thought that he should show his ability and loyalty as much as possible in front of the king, so that the king would appreciate him more. In fact, his own strength has invisibly put a kind of pressure on the king, and his strength has already posed a certain threat to his royal power, so the king is now mainly on prevention of himself, and appointment is no longer the main aspect, which makes Cecil a little congested, as if he is troubled and tricky one after another, and he has to deal with it endlessly.

Cecil stood up, saluted the king, and then led Anne out of the palace. Declaring war on the Iruk Empire is not a trivial matter, it is bound to stir up a thousand waves with one stone, and things may not all go as smoothly as King Rex imagined. Once the war starts, the Iruk Empire does not know what kind of reaction it will make, and the other kingdoms do not know whether they will take advantage of the fire to rob, if the various lords and deputies in the country are not only not settled by the king, but on the contrary, the contradictions are intensifying, King Rex's position is likely to change hands, and this king is tantamount to gambling his political life to carry out this battle.

Cecil took Anne back to Reela City, Corrien and others came out to welcome Cecil and his party very ceremoniously, Cecil looked at the increasingly prosperous city, and couldn't help but be very happy, but when he thought of the next war, his heart couldn't help but be a little gloomy. His fiefdom Samara Province is located on the northern border of the empire, and at the same time borders the Iruk Empire and the Orc Empire, and in peacetime trade can be said to be a place where the logistics of the four directions converge, and it is easy to prosper, but once there is a war, it is a battlefield, an absolute cannon fodder territory, once the war starts, the trade with the Iruk Empire will inevitably be decided, and the trade market with the Orc Empire may also be greatly affected, thinking of these Cecil couldn't help but sigh.

When he returned to the City Lord's Mansion, Cecil immediately convened a meeting, which was relatively small in scope, but very important, so Cecil specially invited the Grand Knight of Bartlet from the Blood Eagle Knights. It was the first time Anne had attended such a meeting, and the Grand Knight of Bartlet really didn't understand why a little girl was allowed to attend such a meeting, and those who had experienced the Battle of Landano knew how powerful Anne was. Therefore, her attendance at the meeting is a matter of inconsistency request. Cecil didn't want Anne to be involved in this fire, he didn't look for Anne to come back to find a thug, but Anne herself was very concerned about this matter, and Anne, like him, also saw that King Rex's attitude towards Cecil was not so good, and knew that his lover's situation was not good, so he wanted to see if he could help as much as possible.
