Leo carefully rolled up the identification card and handed it to Keith beside him, stretched out his hands and put his arms around Antonis, and whispered in his ear

"Your Excellency the Duke of Lancaster, and your family and all the allies who have supported me, I will never forget what you have done for me, my friend, you have succeeded in gaining my true friendship, and you will be rewarded in unimaginable ways in the future, I swear!"

As he spoke, a large number of knights of the Lancastrian family also rushed over, just like their masters, these knights brutally smashed away any soldiers who stood in their way, and the regiments protected their masters and Leo, I don't know whether they were intentional or unintentional, and all their weapons were pointed at the location of the city defense army and the Knights of Glory......

It was only then that Antonis seemed to see Lealdo and the others, and after smiling at Leo, he straightened his clothes and saluted Lealdo with one hand on his chest

"Your Excellency, I'm sorry, the message didn't say that you are also here, please accept my sincere apologies, later, my grandfather and some other adults will also arrive here, I think they will be happy to talk to you"

Looking at the knights of the Knights of Glory around him, Antonis continued with a humble smile

"As for these knights loyal to the Empire, I don't think they are needed here anymore, and the family knights I brought with me are enough to protect His Excellency Leo and me from being attacked by some petty and despicable ......"

"For example, you...... Your Excellency the Viscount of the Perrin Raymond Empire, although your bloodline is outrageous, as a nobleman, you should also know that if you don't recognize the result of a fair duel and besiege a high-ranking nobleman, who gave you so much courage, I can think that it is the ...... behind you?"

Before Antonis, who was sneering, finished speaking, Perran, who was already full of despair at this time, interrupted in a low voice

"No, Your Excellency Count Antonis, I agree with all the accusations of appeal, and the starting point of all this is entirely out of my jealousy of His Excellency Leo, without anyone's instigation, for which I will bear all the consequences"

Perrin still maintained this last glimmer of hope, and if he took all the responsibility to prevent people from throwing sewage on Rolf, he might still have a way to live, and if he dragged others at this time, he doubted that he would be able to see the sun tomorrow

Shaking his head, Antonis was just about to speak, and Leodor, who had given the order to the Knights of Glory to be disguarded, hurriedly spoke to Leo

"Leo...... Your Excellency Grand Duke Leo, things have come to this point, and you have already obtained what you wanted, so I beg you, can you spare these knight cadets, I think they have been taught a lesson, you don't have to kill them all."

Before Leo could answer, the old man looked at him with eager eyes, "Captain Finn, from the previous conversation and understanding, I have seen in you all the virtues of knights, and what these young men need now is your master's forgiveness and mercy...... Could you please ......?"

Silence, after listening to Lealdo's words, Leo quietly looked at Finn, who was soaked in blood and his armor had cracked in some places, if his most loyal regimental commander opened his mouth to intercede for these students, he would definitely not refuse

With a long breath, Finn looked at Lealdo, who was still full of expectation, with still clear eyes, slowly shook his head in the disappointed eyes of the other party, and stretched out his finger to the remaining twenty or so knight cadets who were surrounded by his own knights, like frightened quails

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Heavenly Knight, I have to refuse! As the Lord said before, everyone should pay for their actions, and the forgiveness in the Knightly Code does not apply to their actions, and there is one rule in our Creed of Discipline that always overrides anything."

With a hard fist, Finn and Keith roared in unison

"Anyone who endangers his master with a weapon will be killed!"

Silence, even Antonis, who was his own person, was frightened by the murderous aura that burst out in vain from the two leaders of the Punishment Knights, and subconsciously took a few steps back, and the war horse of the family knight beside him was even more uneasy with its four hooves......

After all, he couldn't be ruthless, and Lealdo wanted to make one last effort, so he sat up straight on his horse and shouted at Leo

"Your Excellency, although it is your legal right to fight back, I must remind you that most of the students here are the children of the major families in the imperial capital, and if you slaughter them who have given up resistance, I am afraid that you will face many reproaches!"

"Reproach? No, Your Excellency the Heavenly Knight, I don't think so! ”

Leo couldn't help but smile when a familiar voice came from the outside, and Antonis jumped to meet him, leading the horse for his grandfather

After bowing to the old man who looked at him with a deep smile, Leo also smiled and said, "My lack of words can no longer allow me to fully express my gratitude to you, it is your honest efforts that have crushed all the injustices against me and saved me and my loyal subordinates!" ”

"Of course, as staunch allies, the Lancasters will never sit idly by and ignore what happens to their friends, dear Leo, please come here, I want to introduce you to some friends!"

At this time, the general of the city defense army saw that so many big people were present, his face had become bloodless, how could he still talk calmly in front of Leo and a few people, ran back to the queue, and waved desperately to signal the soldiers to get out of the way so that the big people could pass

As the soldiers quickly dispersed, the Marquis of Hohenzollern, the Marquis of Auston, and a dozen of the rulers of their allied families also rode towards this side with smiles, and behind them, more than two hundred knights from various families followed closely

Through the introduction of the Duke of Lancaster, Leo also had a preliminary understanding of these dukes' allies, and after chatting with everyone happily, he apologized, and Leo came to the Duke of Lancaster's location and asked softly

"Your Excellency Duke, what did you mean by what you said to Lord Lealdo? You know, I was a little shaken when I heard him before you came! ”

His face remained unchanged, and the Duke of Lancaster leaned slightly sideways and asked in the same low voice

"What do you mean? These people are indeed from many families in the imperial capital, but if you really don't want to forgive them, there is no problem, they are just some side branches, as long as they pay enough price, the so-called anger of their family can easily be quelled......"

After glancing at the slightly mocking expression on the duke's face, and pondering carefully for a while, Leo had a smile on his face, he already understood what the duke meant

"I believe that perhaps a large amount of gold coins can satisfy their family's greed, and it is unlikely that a person as noble as my friend Antonis would have come to this kind of academy to study!"

"Hehe, dear Leo, I see that you are becoming more and more like a nobleman here, and of course, thank you for your praise and help to Antonis, he is a good boy, isn't he?"

"Haha"

The two looked at each other and smiled, Leo bowed his head slightly to the duke, rode forward a few steps, looked at Lealdo, who was unbearable, closed his eyes and nodded to Finn beside him, and gave an order softly

"Never forgive, kill!"
