Chapter 397: Bartlet's Decision
The Grand Knight of Bartlet, listening to Cecil's words, fell into a long silence and did not speak for a long time. www.biquge.info In the end, he raised his hand and said to Cecil: "I am different from you, I am not from a noble background, I am in the army, it was King Hareton who promoted me all the way from a small soldier, and finally made me the head of the Blood Eagle Knights, which is almost impossible in this country, so King Hareton is a gracious reinvention for me, I once swore allegiance to his old man until I am old, so I will never betray him, You can take the Blood Eagle Knights, but I won't surrender to you. ”
Cecild suddenly understood what he said, the Lovalan continent is a hierarchical society, the nobles not only control all the social resources, but even a person's talent and personal ability depend on your origin and background, a person without any background is difficult to get ahead in this kind of aristocratic background, even if he has the ability. And the Knight of Bartlet's ability to get ahead in this context is obviously inseparable from the strong support of King Hariton. Of course, the fundamental reason why King Hareton did this was that he wanted to attack the nobles and maintain the royal power, but objectively he did use a group of low-level generals, especially the king deliberately placed these people in several important knights in the kingdom, and even 3 knights, including the Great Knight of Bartlet, became the leaders of the first-line knights. They had always been discriminated against by the nobility, so they were even more loyal to the king, and now that King Hareton was out of power, their political lives were effectively over.
"Well, you can stay with me first, and once you get the news of Prince Lucas, or if Prince Lucas has left the Elok Empire and got rid of the puppet status, how about I let you go?" Cecil is still unwilling to give up the Great Knight of Batlet, if there is a legendary Grand Knight who surrenders to himself and owns the entire first-line knights of the Empire, then his strength will obviously have a lot of growth. But he didn't have a good way to get the Grand Knight of Bartlet to surrender, so he remembered an allusion from before he crossed over, hoping that he could succeed.
Hearing Cecil say this, the Grand Knight of Bartlet was also stunned: "You, what did you say?" Shall I sojourn with you first? If Prince Lucas needs me, or if Prince Lucas is out of the control of the Elok Empire, you will let me leave you to follow him? Bartlet looked at Cecil, obviously incredulous.
"Yes, I will do what I say, so in the future you will live in my territory, as long as you can help me do things, I can let you not have to swear allegiance to me, we are not a direct relationship, if you want to leave, I will not stop you, you also know, now the Elok Empire must be cutting off Prince Lucas's wings, the people around him may not have a good life, you go to him now I'm afraid it will be a dead end, you might as well stay with me for the time being, once he has something or when he needs you, you go to him, What do you think? "In order to keep the big knight of Bartlet, Cecil's offer has reached a very generous level.
The Grand Knight of Bartlet was obviously lost in thought, he never expected Cecil to offer such a condition, obviously feeling embarrassed, Cecil's suggestion made his heart move, besides, who would want to die when it was really a matter of life and death? Now that this method can survive without betraying the old king Hariton, he can be regarded as being able to account for the old king who is so kind to him.
The great knight thought for a long time, and then made up his mind and said, "Then before Prince Lucas leaves the Elok Empire, I will trouble you to take care of it." As he spoke, the Grand Knight of Bartlet made a knightly salute to Cecil. Cecil was overjoyed in his heart, and if there was the help of Grand Knight Butlet, he was afraid that he would be able to eat this knight in his own hands very quickly.
And Cecil's offer to the Grand Knight of Butlet, in fact, has a deep meaning. Now that Prince Rex has ascended the throne, he is essentially the same kind of person as his father, when he ascended the throne, he wrote countless checks for the throne, and he just ascended the throne in order to stabilize the political situation, but he felt that he would not cash it all, not only would he not cash it all, but even those who had already cashed it might regret it, and it was even very likely that he would implement more severe measures to cut the feudal domain than his father. Cecil guessed that the conflict between King Rex and the nobles was about to arise and expand rapidly. Just like his father.
It stands to reason that Cecil is definitely Prince Rex's own person, but he did not do any support to Cecil's Samara Province this time, although it is said that the kingdom does not have enough strength, but Cecil knows in his heart that Prince Rex will never even have such a little strength, otherwise wouldn't he be a fake king? What's more, Prince Rex felt that he had given himself too much this time, so he made some degree of restriction relative to himself. Of course, the prince did not expect the Elok Empire to intervene quickly, if it weren't for Cecil's unexpectedly strong strength, the Samara Province and the Blood Eagle Knights are now owned by the Elok Empire, then King Rex would definitely regret his bowels.
After the Grand Knight of Bartlet made his decision, he was welcomed by Cecil, who told Cecil that the mages had been teleported through the teleportation array in the city of Reira, the capital of Samara Province, but that these mages were only the vanguard of the teleportation array, and that the "reinforcements" of two knights were entering from the border area of Samara Province in a vain attempt to take over Samara Province.
As soon as Cecil heard that something was wrong, he hurriedly asked the Grand Knight of Bartlet to gather all the officers of the Blood Eagle Knights here, and today the Knight of Bartlet, in order to kill Cecil, deliberately gave them a day off so that they could drink and eat meat freely, so it took some time to gather them all. When Grand Knight Bartlet announced that he and the Knights of the Blood Eagle had been attached to Cecil, there was a thunderous roar of joy below. Bartlet saw the heartfelt joy of the nobles below, and Bartlett knew that even without the appearance of a strong man like Cecil, the battle could not be fought, and the warriors had lost their basic fighting spirit, and if they forcibly continued, the consequences could be unimaginable.
