The tall paladin was stunned for a moment, obviously not thinking about this question. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"They don't seem to say anything about submission," said the tall man, "just that they want to cooperate with us." ”

However, now that I think about it, the so-called cooperation must not be the mastery of each other, but must be under a unified leadership. And this leader has naturally become a position that both sides are vying for.

Immediately, Herbert roughly inquired about the number of the other party and the level of strength. Because there had been an observation beforehand, all the tall men answered quickly and accurately. However, his companions apparently did not have such observational powers, and in most cases only nodded their heads.

While listening to the tall man's words, Herbert thought in his heart about the overall strength of the other party. Eric next to him obviously understood what he was thinking, and said in a low voice: "My lord, in terms of strength, we are on par with their overall strength. So I suggest that you send people to the nearest settlement and bring in our men and horses, so that we can take the initiative in the negotiations. I've calculated that it will take about an hour to get from here to the nearest settlement, and an hour to come back, just in the morning. ”

Herbert's eyes lit up, and he turned his head to look at the paladin he had never paid attention to before. In just one day, the other party actually put forward two important suggestions for himself, although there is a suspicion of being clever, but I have to say that his insight and analytical skills are very strong.

Herbert quickly found two men to explain to each other, and asked them to go to two settlements near the town to seek help. The rest of the people did not dare to rest separately for fear of something unexpected on the way, so they could only sit in the sanctuary or move around in the vicinity.

It was dawning soon.

When the Paladin Gade and the others returned to the side of the Little Templar, Herbert and the others were already waiting there. The two teams of paladins gathered together, and they seemed to be quite large. The clergy, who usually liked to go to the chapel to do some prayers, saw that it was so lively, and they all took a detour and left.

"Lord Gader." Herbert immediately recognized the clergyman who had occupied a place in the Sanctuary from the crowd, and bowed from a distance, "Long time no see. ”

Gad also laughed "haha", but this laughter did not seem very friendly, but a little arrogant, and the smile on his face was somewhat hideous because of the presence of a scar.

"I don't think we've been apart for long, Master Herbert." Gad bowed slightly, "A few months ago, we were under the same roof, except that you were in the clean and tidy sanctuary, and I was in the gloomy and damp basement below the sanctuary. ”

At this point, the expression on Gad's face deepened, and Herbert looked slightly embarrassed. But in the end, it was someone who mixed too much in Vanity Fair, Herbert immediately turned to say: "I know all the hardships you have received in the past few years." How many of the people in the Inquisition of Light were not victims of Harvey's exclusion of dissidents? That's why I led the clergy against him. ”

Andre had already stepped forward at this time: "The food is ready, do you adults want to eat something first?" ”

The two of them humbled each other, but in fact they had their own ghosts. Herbert was particularly uneasy, for the two men who had been sent out to look for reinforcements had not yet returned, and when it came time to discuss matters after breakfast, he did not have enough chips at the moment.

Eric, who made this suggestion, was equally surprised. It stands to reason that this journey is only about two hours round trip, and one and a half hours is enough for a rapid march. Now, three and a half hours have passed, and there has been no movement. Could it be that something happened to the two of them?

It was certainly impossible to have such delicate food in such a difficult place, so in the midst of the anxiety of many in Herbert's camp, breakfast was quickly finished. Up to this point, the helper still hadn't shown up, and Herbert had to bite the bullet and face the rest of the conversation.

Before he was imprisoned in the Inquisition of the Light, Gade was known for his vigor and vigor, and he liked to be straightforward when he said anything. Such typical martial arts traits can sometimes feel very unaccustomed.

Now, for example, when Herbert talks about the partnership, Gade says, "We have a common purpose, which is to make that old guy Harvey pay for his arbitrariness." In that case, what else is there to say? ”

The words that Herbert intended to be used as foreshadowing were useless. He was silent for a while, but he still had to bite the bullet and say: "Of course cooperation is possible, but there are some things that we must stipulate first." If our two teams of paladins are their own masters, and there is no way to form a unified command, it is likely that in the end, they will not cooperate and turn against each other. Rather than that, let's choose a supreme leader first. ”

One of the paladins in Gad's camp suddenly said, "I wonder if Lord Herbert wants to choose a leader based on seniority, or according to strength?" ”

His words naturally led the crowd's thinking to these two areas. Obviously, if you rank by seniority, then the old paladin Herbert should be ranked first, but when it comes to strength, there are a few who are comparable to Herbert's strength, and even some juniors have reached this height.

Herbert, who had planned to use the number of troops as a bargaining chip to become the supreme leader, saw that there was no hope for reinforcements, and when he heard that the other party actually proposed such a method, he couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy. He barely suppressed his excitement and glanced at the person next to him.

The tall man seemed very alert, and immediately understood what Herbert meant, and immediately said: "I think it is most reasonable to choose based on seniority, but most of the light races of the Seven Kingdoms on the land use this method. As for strength, some talented juniors already have great strength at a very young age, but after all, they are inexperienced and need to be honed for a long time. ”

As soon as these words came out, the paladins in Herbert's camp agreed. Of course, they knew that seniority was in their own interest, and they understood that this was what Herbert meant.

But I didn't expect Gade's side to agree. When the tall man saw this, he was afraid that someone else would take the credit for taking a step too slowly, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "If that's the case, then I think Master Herbert should be the most senior paladin of our kind." If I'm not mistaken, he had been a knight for eight years, and he had been a paladin in the Templar for fifty-three years, making him the oldest paladin in the Ontare clergy. ”

Being able to remember Herbert's life course so clearly shows that the tall man has done a lot of homework before this. This kind of sycophant behavior naturally made others very disdainful, but old Herbert felt that it was very useful. To be continued.
