Chapter 413: Bartlet's Anger
When Cecil walked into the council hall, he saw many members of the Blood Eagle Knights gathered around the hall, and everyone looked at him with a little bit of unkindness. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Cecil secretly thought that things were really not good, the continuous battles and losses had caused the Blood Eagle Knights to suffer heavy losses, and nearly one-fifth of the members were killed, which was also a rare loss for the Knights in recent years. Cecil looked at the members of the Order, ignored them, and walked straight into the council hall.
The council hall was full of characters waiting for Cecil to come, and the characters on both sides were distinct, on one side was his own descendant troops like Corryn Rekel, and on the other side was the side of the Blood Eagle Knights led by Grand Knight Bartlet, and when he entered the conference hall, the atmosphere on both sides was not normal, as if he was about to fight if he was not careful.
But Cecil's mood is quite calm now, after all, he has completed the war of the Great Border Wilderness, and has achieved an unprecedented victory, in any case, he has completely achieved his set goal, and the rest is no longer a problem for him.
And the Grand Knight of Bartlet was quite angry when he saw Cecil coming in: "Lord Earl, in the past few days, our Blood Eagle Knights have privately engaged in the battle without the permission of the King, and now we have lost nearly 1,000 troops, and there are countless wounded, after these few days of fierce battles, half of the soldiers of our Blood Eagle Knights have lost their combat effectiveness, and if the swamp offensive continues like this, I am afraid that our Blood Eagle Knights will cease to exist." ”
The Grand Knight of Bartlet paused at this point: "And I heard that the reason for this large-scale invasion of the swamp tribe is entirely because the Earl killed a Cyclops, so that the entire Cyclops tribe mobilized all the forces of their swamp to attack our city of Reira. Although you have caused a heinous disaster, your next behavior is even more unforgivable, and you have secretly withheld the news of the invasion of the army and did not tell His Majesty the King, which is a capital crime in heaven. You have thrown in your troops without the King's permission, putting the Blood Eagle Knights in danger of extinction, and the entire city of Reela in jeopardy. Do you know how guilty you would be if the king found out? Later, the tone of the Grand Knight of Bartlet's tone was already extremely serious, and even a little violent.
Cecil couldn't help but be a little amused when he heard this fierce accusation from the Grand Knight of Bartlet, and he still questioned himself in the name of the king, but he had forgotten his position, he was the king's confidant, and the Knight of Bartlet in front of him was the king's political enemy, and it was ridiculous that he dared to question himself in the name of the king.
At this time, an idea suddenly flashed through Cecil's mind, Grand Knight Bartlet has always been a cautious person, and there is no way he can't not understand the truth that he understands, but why is he still so confident to ask his master in the name of the king? Could it be that he had secretly reached some kind of tacit understanding with King Rex? Although he was the hero of the coup, even God can't know how much trust the Kings themselves have. Cecil was also unsure of how good the king's relationship with him was. But the problem is that even so, the Grand Knight of Bartlet should not have the guts to put pressure on himself directly from the king, unless he and the king have some degree of tacit understanding.
In order to maintain the relationship with the Blood Eagle Knights, Cecil did not send his own descendant forces to take over the teleportation array after the Blood Eagle Knights surrendered, one is to show their trust and tenderness to the Blood Eagle Knights, and also because the number of their descendants is still too small, taking over some important local defenses, it is really powerless to take over the portal, which is a very important teleportation point for the Blood Eagle Knights.
Since the portal is in the hands of the Blood Eagle Knights, it is not surprising that the king and the Blood Eagle Knights have communication that they don't know, it is very likely that the relationship between the king and the Blood Eagle Knights has changed that he does not know, and even the king gave the Blood Eagle Knights some kind of promise, so that the Great Knight of Bartlet has the audacity to blatantly ask his own teacher. But this kind of thing is hard for Cecil to believe that Bartlet once showed his loyalty to Prince Lucas in front of him, and turned his head to achieve some kind of tacit understanding with King Rex, then he is really a worthless good actor in Cecil's eyes. When he expressed his surrender to himself, he still swore an imitator, and a righteous second master said something that moved him.
Cecil smiled privately and said: "Before I arrived here, the order given to me by the king was to allow me to temporarily lead the Blood Eagle Knights, and in the face of such an attack, I didn't report to the king, because I didn't think it was necessary to report to His Majesty the king for such a small battle, His Majesty the king has just become a king, and there are so many important things in the country waiting for him to come to deal with them, so how many things will he be busy with all day long?" "Cecil's things couldn't be better today. simply put on a grinning look, and slowly put on his words.
When the Grand Knight of Bartlet heard Cecil say this, his face changed, and even Corrien and Ryker on his side felt that it was a bit irresponsible for the Count to say this, the swamp troops outside were tens of thousands of people, and hundreds of tribes had joined forces to put an unimaginable pressure on the entire Reela City in the past month. The troops had already lost their troops, and the morale of the troops defending the city had plummeted. And Cecil actually said it so lightly, even saying that it was just a "small matter", and it was absolutely impossible for the Grand Knight of Bartlet to agree with this statement. Not to mention the Grand Knight of Bartlet, even Cecil himself, if he hadn't known that he had already done this, he would never have been in this mood to refer to the deer as a horse here.
Bataleda actually said: "Lord Count said that this is just a small matter, but my Blood Eagle Knights have already paid the price of thousands of people for the small things you said, I think that with the Earl's divine martial talents, there is no need for our incompetent Blood Eagle Knights to take care of this small matter, starting tomorrow, my Knights will withdraw from the positions on the front line, and I also ask the Earl, you to send personnel to fill in the positions of our army."
