"The election of the king? You mean that farce...... Ahem, big event? Tous nodded, "You know, didn't Lord Merlin suggest that?" ”

Farce?

Xia Di felt that something was wrong, and observed Tous's face. One look at the book look·1kanshu·

"Actually, I'm going to run for the election." Kayiru frowned, choosing to ignore the other party's continuation.

"You?"

Tous's eyes widened in surprise, he looked Kailu up and down, and was silent for a few seconds before he smiled, "Ambition." I'm sticking with you. ”

There was no pause in his words, and his face was calm and full of kindness.

But Xia Di obviously felt that the other party was just vague.

Judging from the other party's attitude towards the king's election, Xia Di thinks that Tous is not very interested in the king's election.

"I'll get straight to the point, Uncle Al. I'm here to ask you for something. ”

Kayilu didn't plan to talk for a long time, and got straight to the point.

Tous didn't seem to expect Kayilu to talk about something important so quickly, and nodded slightly in surprise, "If it's something I can help with, you can just ask." ”

"Thank you,...... Well, I'd like to lend you a few people, if you can. ”

"Borrow?"

"Well, as we all know, the king's election is a group event, and the candidate for the king's election must be accompanied by more than six knights, and only one person is not enough, so I want Uncle Al to lend me a few high-ranking knights, preferably four...... Knights of the third rank and above. ”

Halfway through her speech, Kayilu quickly changed her words. Although her goal was the fourth order, she also understood that this was a bit of a lion's mouth, so she deliberately lowered her level, and then took the opportunity to go up.

"Knights of the third order or above?"

Tous, however, frowned.

He pondered briefly for a moment and asked, "As far as I know, there is no shortage of knights on the Isle of Wight, so why are you asking me to borrow them?" ”

"Well, for some special reasons......" Kayilu was a little embarrassed, "the knight on the Isle of Wight, it's not convenient to bring it out......"

Special reasons?

Tous looked at Cairu in bewilderment.

To be honest, at first hearing that Cailu was going to run for the king's election, Tous didn't quite believe it.

Not to mention the fairness of the election and what kind of shady scenes are behind it, let's just say that Ektor himself has nothing to do with power.

With Tous's years of knowledge of Ector, he didn't think Anchor would approve of his daughter's candidacy.

Of course, this is only speculation, after all, the last time Tous received a letter from Ektor was half a year ago, when Merlin had not yet proposed the election of the king, so Tous had no way of knowing what his old friend thought of the king's election, let alone whether he was interested in the throne, but ......

Tous remembered the war ten years earlier. One read the book to see 1kanshu com

Although in his own opinion, Ektor seems to have been relieved of what happened at that time, but is it really so easy to let go of being reduced to a lord on the wild frontier and becoming a joke of other nobles?

Did he ever think about revenge against the royal family?

Tous knew very well that anger and resentment could easily change a person.

So he can't deny the possibility.

If Ector just pretends to be relieved and actually accumulates resentment, it is indeed possible that he wants to complete revenge by obtaining the throne.

As for not participating by himself, but letting his daughter come, probably to make it easier to gain the trust of the court, after all, in the eyes of the public, compared to ambitious middle-aged people, energetic young people are the hope of the country.

But why did he come to him to borrow a knight?

Could it be that the Isle of Wight is also facing some foreign threat like Hamp? Or ......

Tous remembered a recent inquiry from the court.

Since the Roman Empire declared war on Gaul a few days ago. The court intended to support Gaul and was planning and preparing for war.

Could it be ...... Through some channel, Ektor reached an agreement with the court, and planned to send troops to support the war?

No, no, not to mention that in the current domestic situation, it is impossible for Ektor not to understand that it makes little sense to do such a thing, and to say that even if he really plans to send troops, he will not be unable to make up a knight to run with his daughter......

So what is the reason......

Tous frowned, observing Cairu's expression as well.

"Haha......"

Kayilu felt more and more embarrassed, and her smile stiffened.

Although she had thought that the other party would ask this question, she didn't expect the other party to emit such a sharp momentum, making it difficult for her to fool around.

She knew very well that she couldn't tell the real reason, because if she honestly admitted that she had run away from home and did not have her father's support, then she would have changed from the representative of the Aktor family to the scum of the Ector family, so that the other party would not only be unlikely to accept her demand, but would also kick herself out if she didn't do well, so that her face would be disgraced.

So, she took a breath, and when she was about to refuse to answer for other reasons, Tous spoke first.

"How many people do you want to borrow?"

"Huh?"

"I currently have two knight legions under my banner, namely the Hamp Knights and the Victory Knights, and the soldiers above the third order are all in the Victory Knights, there are about a hundred people in total, and the strongest of them have the strength of the fourth order, and they have obtained their respective titles from the court, I don't know what kind of talent you want, you better explain the requirements in more detail."

Ten Knights? Title?

When Kayiru heard this, she couldn't help but sit up straight with excitement.

You must know that the title can only be honored by those who are strong above the fourth order.

It was definitely up to the standard she needed.

Moreover, these ten knights are very powerful when they hear their names, if you ask her what else she wants? At most, I hope that all the other party is a beauty.

"Then, please bring me the ten most powerful ......," said Kayilu, suppressing her excitement and pretending to be solemn.

Sure enough.

Tous sighed inwardly.

The other party vaguely proposed to ask for knights of the third rank or higher, and there was no requirement for other skills, which shows that the other party probably wanted to improve the chances of winning the election by taking the route of force.

This is superficial, but it is also a relatively practical approach.

Looks like Iktor has made up his mind.

However, if this is the case, you will be able to take your request seriously.

"By the way, I would like to ask you for a small favor, can you canonize ...... by the way" Kayilu struck while the iron was hot and made another additional request.

"Wait." Tous snapped Kayilu's words, "While I can accept the request of the Aktor family, it's not too much for me to offer something in return." ”

"Huh?" Kayiru froze.

"Even if our two families have had a friendship for many years, and if we want to borrow Hamp's elite soldiers, we can't pay no price at all, right?"

Tous had a politician-like smile on his face, and his tone seemed to be talking about a deal.

No, that's really the deal.

The aristocracy got along with each other amicably, not only by the theory of feelings, but by equivalent exchange, in which there was no affection to talk about.

Kayilu naturally understood this reason, she quickly restrained her surprised expression, and smiled: "Well, what you said is true, it's just that I don't have anything that will interest you for the time being, but if you really ask for it, I can think of a way......"

.

Can't you prostitute for nothing?

Kayilu screamed inwardly.

She didn't know what the other party would ask for, she just hoped that it wouldn't go too far.

"Haha, you're joking, how could I ask you for gold, silver, jewelry, and other things, what I want is a promise." Tous put his hands on the table and said mysteriously.

"Promise?"

Tous lowered his voice and said, "I want the Isle of Wight to lend me two thousand soldiers. ”

"What...... Is it? Kayilu thought her ears had misheard.

"I'll tell you the truth, Hamp has been in a lot of trouble lately." Tous didn't intend to hide it, and said frankly, "Almost two weeks ago, an exiled army came from the west, broke into my territory, burned and plundered, I was about to uproot them a few days ago, but unexpectedly, they called in a large number of reinforcements by some means, and now their men are gathered north of Hamp......"

"Can the exiles call in reinforcements......? Where did they come from? Kayilu's mind was a little overwhelmed.

"What else could it be, of course, the notorious rebels in the country now." Tous laughed self-deprecatingly, "Excluding the training advantage, the number of those rebellious thieves is more than the defenders of my entire territory, in this case, do you think I can lend you the powerful Ten Knights without asking for anything?" All of them are high-ranking generals in Hampshire, and without them, it is really not a good choice for the territory. ”

“……”

Kayilu fell silent.

Why are we rebels again!?

Damn, it's so damn dead, it's them here to make trouble again!

There was a rush of anger in Kayilu's heart, and she couldn't help but clench her fists secretly.

She forcibly suppressed her anger and asked, "What do you mean, Uncle Al?" ”

"Lend me 2,000 troops to sweep away the rebels. After the rebels in the realm were completely cleared, I unconditionally supported the Ector family in the name of one of the kings of Britain, the Tous family, in their struggle for the throne. You can get all the help you need from my side. ”

All the help?

Xia Di on the side was shocked.

To some extent, this is equivalent to agreeing in advance that Kailu is the new king.

Throwing such a big chip must be a serious matter.

Kayilu gritted her teeth, a little at a loss, not to mention that she was not the head of the Actor family now, and had no authority to represent the Isle of Wight, and agreed to lend troops to Tous, saying that even if she really had that power, it would not be an easy choice.

After all, the entire territory of the Isle of Wight has only 3,000 militiamen at most.

Borrowing 2,000 soldiers is equivalent to weakening nearly 70% of the island's garrison, so the island's defense will be completely unbalanced.

If there is a natural disaster in the territory at this time, or if there is an attack from outside the sea......

It's just too dangerous.

No, this request cannot be accepted.

Kayiru shook her head, wanting to say no immediately, and tried to persuade the other party to change terms.

But she opened her mouth, but she couldn't say anything.

Because, unless it is said that the other party is lying, otherwise Hamp can now be said to be facing an unprecedented crisis, but there is almost no room for concession in this matter, what conditions can she come up with to persuade the other party to agree to let her take the most important general of the territory?

Help others first, then you can help yourself.

Under these conditions...... Me, what should I do?
