In the eastern coast of 1670, Arthur I, the Grand Duke of Merochow, was mobilizing troops to deal with the invasion of the Gorissa, and the king of Sharo, Shiromo VIII, also mobilized his elite standing army to garrison troops at dangerous passes and fortify the important towns in Sara.

On this day, the courtiers of Shiromo VIII had just finished a regular meeting, on the one hand, to report on the armament situation, and on the other hand, to confirm whether Gosamodor had any intention of joining forces with Laventica. After the completion of the routine report, the courtiers left the palace of Saros one after another, and when they were about to go to the place they wanted to go, they were stopped by the envoy of Shilomo VIII.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a document from Theo III, Grand Duke of New Cassage," Shiromo VIII said with a frown, and said in a trembling tone, "That bastard of Theo III claims that the inhabitants of the Duchy of Cassag are all Hammador people, so it should belong to Hammador and not to Sharo. ”

Hum all my life, and the hall was full of noise. The ministers are not fools, and they know that the Third East Coast War, which they have been worrying and fearing all along, is probably really about to start, and isn't this an omen? Although the Grand Duke of New Cassag is the largest duke in the country, unlike the original Grand Duke of Merochou, Sharo can still defeat the other side alone.

And since the other party has the courage to provoke Sharo this time, it means that the other party may have found foreign aid. It is impossible for Hamador to do so, and now this country has been reduced to a vassal state of Laventica, so the foreign aid found by the Grand Duke of New Cassag must be Laventica!

"Sure enough, something went wrong here, and when the new Kasag refused to pay the tax last year, saying that the disaster in the country was going to delay something, I thought something was going to happen to the other side, but it's a pity," some ministers immediately made some afterthought to prove that they were prescient.

The annoyed Shromo VIII also scolded: "Damn Theo III! He actually chose to collude with heretics! If the ancestors hadn't let them restore the country, how could they have the situation they have today?"

The predecessor of the New Principality of Cassag is the Principality of Cassage, the history of this principality can be traced back to the founding of the Principality of Sharo, and the three eastern cities of Hammador rebelled with Salon, but the Principality of Cassag has been destroyed in the tug-of-war between Jarro and Hammadore, and now this Principality of New Cassag is still a principality established after the establishment of the Aragon Dynasty.

In the Second East Coast War, the Aragonese Dynasty handed over the Duchy of Sith, the land where the Hammador people rose, to the Duchy of New Cassage, which can be described as extremely trusting - at least that's what Shiramo VIII thought, but now the other party treats him like this, Shiramo VIII naturally feels extremely angry.

"Refuse! Mobilize troops! Sharo has entered a state of war!" Shi Luomo VIII immediately issued an order, "The new Principality of Cassag must be in collusion with Laventika, so it will make such a foolish dream! We must not make the slightest concession, otherwise Hammaddor's today will be our tomorrow!"

The ministers replied and obeyed, and then began to prepare for the upcoming Third East Coast War. No one said anything to back down, for what had happened to Hammador had made the people of Sharo realize that giving in to Raventika would be the destruction of the country, and that those who dared to say such things would never be in the palace again.

When Sharo began to prepare for battle, Leng Yi descended on Madeira again, ready to see for himself what it was like to be in Madeira, which had been ruled by Arthur, the knight king, for 2 years.

The area where Leng Yi walked into Madeira is a civilian area, and as far as the civilian area is concerned, the spiritual outlook of the streets is much better than in the past, and it is much cleaner and tidy, but the appearance of the residents here has not improved much, and they are still sad or insensitive, and full of cunning.

So Leng Yi casually stopped a passer-by and gave him a little money: "This old man, I am a pathfinder sent here by merchants from other places, can you tell me what is wrong with Madeira now? I heard that His Excellency the Grand Duke has issued many new directives in recent years, which makes me a little confused." ”

After collecting the money, the pedestrian was willing to talk to Leng Yi, so the two went to a post house in the city on the side of the street, drinking water and talking at the same time.

"Your Excellency, some of the things you say are very reasonable, but you always feel that something is wrong? We are hungry all year round, and sometimes it is not incomprehensible to do some black work, but what does the Grand Duke have? ”

"Then hasn't your life changed much for the better?" Leng Yi asked again.

In the past, if those villains were there, they didn't have to worry about being bullied if they paid some protection money, which was a matter of slaughtering a knife, but now the villain's guild has been driven to the garbage heap (referring to the slum), and now the street is herding sheep, and I don't know when to be slaughtered, and my house has been picked up and robbed twice this month, alas. ”

"Isn't that Your Excellency the Grand Duke building a knight's hall, and then the knights in the knight's hall maintaining order on the streets? Besides, you have been robbed, why don't you report it to the knight's hall?"

At this moment, a group of knight apprentices on patrol approached, and the pedestrians immediately stopped talking, and signaled with their eyes to cold play, and not only the pedestrians did this, but all around immediately fell silent, and in an instant, the streets that had been noisy a moment ago were immediately left with the footsteps of the knight apprentices' armor on the ground.

The scene at this moment makes Leng Yi feel like he has returned to the earth, and if someone shouts "The wind is tight, the wind is tight, the members of the City Comprehensive Law Enforcement Bureau are here", it will be even more appropriate.

Leng Yi pretended to drink water with the passers-by, and when he raised his head to drink, he glanced at the knight apprentices out of the corner of his eye, and found that these apprentices were not aware of the problems contained in this scene at all, but were still complacent.

After the knight's apprentice left, he raised his head and thought for a while, and then replied in a slightly hesitant voice: "Although we don't like the policies of His Excellency the Grand Duke, but those knights in the knight's hall are really good people, there is nothing to say about this, I have lived for so long, and it is the first time I have seen a nobleman who can talk to people like us well." ”

After the praise of the good is finished, it is about to be praised, and sure enough, the sentence "but" spits out in the mouth of the passerby: "But how many knights are there in the knight's hall? Not many in the small one, how can I manage such a big Madeira? My neighbor Biendo, who reported the case last month, has not been broken so far, and his house was burned down by fire, so he ran to the knight's hall again, saying that he had reconciled with the other party, so if the family has no money, who would dare to report?"

"However, if you send your child to the Knight's Palace, the other party should draw up manpower as soon as possible to give priority to your affairs, right? Didn't His Excellency say that as long as he is a citizen, and has good character and desires for knights, whether it is a commoner or a nobleman, can join the Knight's Palace?"

"Alas, that's what I said, but if you join the Knight Palace, what kind of justice funding do you have to give to the Knight Hall every month to fund the operation of the Knight Hall, and we civilians who are hard to eat can afford to join the Knight Hall?"

The conversation ended here, and after Leng Yi said goodbye to the pedestrian, he prepared to enter the Knight's Hall to have a look, according to Arthur's regulations, as long as he was not a wicked person, he could enter the Knight's Palace. However, Leng Yi was still stopped at the gate of the Knight's Palace, and the guard told Leng Yi that all the eight knights had gone to the meeting, so the Knight's Hall was temporarily closed today, and unrelated personnel were not allowed to enter.

With this curiosity, Leng Yi turned on the stone hat mode and prepared to find out. Through the map Leng Yi, it was found that all the eight knights were gathered in the knights' hall in Lancelot, so Leng Yi set off there.

Relying on the stone hat mode, Leng Yi smoothly entered the knights' hall where the knights were meeting, and then just approached the venue, he heard the fierce noise of the eight knights of the Knights of the Round Table who remained in Madeira.

"Lancelot, do you still think of yourself as a knight, where have you put your knightly honor!" the knight who made the accusation was Gareth, who was also a member of the Merochou family, and was a distant relative of Lancelot, but closer than Lancelot, and belonged to the neutral faction of the family rather than the opposition of Chakju IV, such as Bonvai Lean.

"Gareth, be careful with your words and tone, be careful of violating the knight's taboo," Lancelot blocked the other party with a light word in the face of Gareth's accusation, and looked at Gareth's face, which was so angry that he almost rushed up. What are the taboos of knighthood? The qualities that are the opposite of the eight virtues of knighthood are the eight taboos of knighthood.

After retreating from Gareth, Lancelot glanced at the round table, looked at the faces of those who were either dissatisfied or angry, and sat down and asked:

"Didn't I tremble in the task that the Grand Duke had given me? And didn't I live up to the Grand Duke's expectations? Didn't the Knight's Hall work even better? During this period, did I attack any good person? Did I spare any bad person? Have I broken my promise? Have I done something evil?"

Seeing that no one answered, Lancelot summed himself up: "Nothing." If I don't, why do you question whether I'm still a knight?"

After a while, Gareth stood up and asked, "Didn't Archduke Arthur I say, 'Knight, you can't treat the other party differently because he is a commoner or a nobleman, for in the malleability of character, the commoner and the nobleman are equal, and the poor and the rich are equal. ’”

"Why, then, do you favor the rich over the poor, and why do you collude with the rich and join them?"

Lancelot frowned, feeling that this gang of goods was really annoying: "His Excellency Grand Duke Arthur I has asked me to maintain the knight's palace, if I don't seek funds from the rich, how can I continue to do good deeds to the poor?

"Then why did you collude with wealthy businessmen and be ruthless against their competitors?"

"Hmph! There are clouds in the divine realm, and flies don't bite eggs! If they hadn't committed evil deeds, how would they have been arrested by me! Sow melons and get melons, sow beans and get beans! Whoever sows evil fruits will reap hatred!"

Hearing this, Leng Yi roughly understood what Lancelot had done to make the other seven knights so angry. In order to maintain the funds of the Knights' Palace, Lancelot chose to cooperate with some merchants who favored the Knights' Palace, and then used the power of the Knights' Hall and the Duchy of Merochou to fight the merchants' competitors, and the merchants reciprocated by providing more funds for justice.

Of course, it should be said that at this time, Avalon was still held by Lancelot, which is why the other seven knights did not directly tear their faces with Lancelot, because if they can be recognized by Avalon, they must have knightly qualifications.

Therefore, although Lancelot used some crooked brains to maintain the operation of the Knight's Palace, he still firmly guarded the bottom line, that is, to unite with the merchants who were not so ugly and get rid of the merchants who were extremely ugly.

Just as Leng Yi was sorting out Lancelot's behavior, Gareth broke out another shocking news: "Even if you can explain what you did to the merchants, then how can you explain the actions you want to covet the Grand Duchess of Gnevere!"

Poof! Because he let these people appear around Arthur, did the deeds deviate from the deeds of King Arthur on the earth? So Leng Yi hurriedly checked and confirmed that Arthur did not have a sister named Morgan or a younger sister, so Arthur's ending should not be stabbed to death by Mordred.
