Charles' carriage entered his manor in the afternoon when the sun was at its highest, and then he saw the nearly 100 knights and knights who had been waiting for him.

Perhaps to show their respect for their lords, they were all neatly draped and lined up in the open space of the manor, with a red and black flag of the Chevalier family erected at the front of the procession, and the sound of the cold wind whirling and curling.

Wearing metal armor in the cold winter is a very sinful thing, when creating armor because of the consideration of combat requirements, it is to keep it as close as possible, so that you can't wear too many clothes inside, the cold wind is whistling on the body, and the kind of cold that penetrates the bones can torture people's will the most.

The young knights had been holding on for a long time, and their faces were already snotty, but when they saw the door of the carriage open, they all tried to cheer themselves up, and showed their strongest side.

Charles stepped out of the carriage, dressed in a simple gown that set off his tall figure, which instantly attracted the attention of this group of hairy boys.

There was a slight commotion in the neat and quiet procession, although the legend of Lord Earl's rebirth was well known, but seeing was believing, hearing was false, and when they really saw Charles, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

Handsome, so handsome, so handsome!

Charles clearly felt that everyone's eyes were very different from before, and in the past they only maintained basic etiquette for themselves, like many vassal nobles on the mainland who were disappointed in their lords.

And now, although it is not said to be the worship of the five bodies, but at least there is a sense of respect, these days there are rumors and legends about themselves flying all over the sky, the stupid and stupid earl in the past has gradually disappeared into the rumors, and the image of pretending to be a stupid earl and a handsome earl has gradually prevailed.

In particular, the "Daisy Incident", although it made Charles offend the Church of Light, but it won him the respect of the people at the bottom, and these simple-minded young knights felt that their lord's performance in this incident could be called a righteous knight.

So when the charr appeared in a new guise, the young knights who had just inherited the title of Daddy of the Dead Ghost felt ......... This lord doesn't look bad!

"Well, I've seen your bravery and strength, but I'm not here to call you for battle, so let's go and change your dress! ”

Charles said a few words gently, not solemnly, and gestured to the forehead of a group of young knights, and walked to the hall of the manor's main mansion on his own.

The knights, who had been blowing in the cold wind for a long time, looked at each other's companions, and there was a "sure enough" thing in their eyes, today the lord came to the door not to give a New Year's gift at all, but to announce something.

And it's definitely a big deal.

The main house of the manor is naturally not as luxurious and bright as the main house of the Marquis of Lorraine's mansion, but at least the heating facilities are quite perfect, and several large fireplaces warm the hall of the main house, and a group of young knights who have frozen their noses are quickly warmed up.

"I think everyone knows that the Chevalier family has encountered the greatest crisis in hundreds of years, conspiracy, death, betrayal, all kinds of disasters as if they were agreed, all happened in this half a year. ”

"For some irresistible reason, my dear father died in battle, my loyal knight died in battle, and I ...... He almost died in Sbaya. ”

There was a clear commotion among the young knights in the hall, Charles's words were too blunt, so many knights who died in battle were their fathers, brothers, or elders, and one "irresistible cause" could provoke too many assumptions.

Charles's indifferent eyes glanced at the young people with different expressions in front of him, and said in a stern tone: "I can tell you in charge that I will not give up on this matter, and I will look for the most suitable opportunity to make the black hands behind the scenes pay the price of blood." ”

"Lord Earl, is His Majesty the King behind the scenes?"

A strong, simple-looking young man stood up and asked Charles bluntly.

"What a fool," Charles scolded in his heart, and replied expressionlessly, "You can ask His Majesty the King directly this question!"

The young man was obviously stunned, he didn't expect Charles to give such an answer, and he suddenly blushed and his neck was thick.

"Okay, what's your name?"

"Lord Earl, my name is Neo, Neo Greft, my father is Kiat Grifte, I'm sorry Lord Earl, I ....... Didn't have the courage to ask His Majesty. The young man named Neo lowered his head in shame, not daring to meet Charles' eyes.

"Well, you're like me, and I don't have the courage to ask Rosseph right now. Charles was amused by Neo's straightforwardness, and began to mock himself.

But Charles immediately picked up: "But one day I will stand in front of him and ask this question." ”

Olive next to him breathed a sigh of relief, as a noble lord, bragging is commonplace, and it doesn't matter if it is blown up, but it just can't be admitted on the surface.

"I think you all know what it is to despise the king, so this question can only be asked by me to His Majesty, and no one should put themselves in prison because of this question!"

“........”

Dozens of young knights were excited, they had never thought that a lord would speak to his subordinates like this, and now at this moment, they felt that Charles was not a lord who was high, but a young man with flesh and blood like them, who would be afraid, timid, and reckless.

"Although we are not in a position to question His Majesty at this time, there are still things that can be done, such as punishing the traitors. ”

Charles's tone became stern, "Those guys thought that I would not be able to clean them up after taking refuge with the new master, but they were wrong, I, Charles Chevalier, am not a coward, and I will soon make them pay enough." ”

"I received an appointment from the military department to recruit troops in Lorraine to form the Lorraine Legion, whose territory do you say I should go to?"

Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what Charles meant, the nobles' private army has always been under the military department's army, although the military department has the right to command the nobles' private army in wartime, but the nobleman's private army is the private property of the nobles, and the nobles are under the jurisdiction of the noble council, and there is no real subordinate relationship with the military department.

This is also the reason why the private armies of the nobles are prone to defeat on the battlefield, why should Lao Tzu's private property be used as a backing for the army of the military department? Even if you escape from the battle and the military law of your military department will not be able to control me here, go to the noble council to sue me!

But now Charles said that he was appointed by the military department to form the Lorraine legion, so that he would be under the direct jurisdiction of the military department in the future, and the noble freedom of the nobles had been violated. 、

Although they were both young and not as cunning as their fathers, they knew the persistence of some nobles.

The hall was suddenly silent as late at night, except for the crackling of wood in the fireplace.

Suddenly, the humble Neo Griver stood up again in excitement and shouted to Charles, "Lord Earl, we should go to the territory of those traitors and turn their adult men into our soldiers." ”

Hanhan has its own benefits of being simple, and it is really a god who is really good.

Charles beckoned, and Roy, who was next to him, immediately put the suitcase in his hand on the table.

"Neo, would you like to be the commander of the first battalion of the Lorraine Legion?"

Neo's face flushed with excitement, "If Lord Count were the Legion's leader, I would always be at your side." ”

Charles opened the box on the table and pulled out an ordinary porcelain vase.

"In my legion, only the transcendent are qualified to be battalion commanders, Neo, do you want to try?"

"Boom!"

The onlookers suddenly exploded, and everyone looked at Neo with fiery eyes, and secretly scolded this grandson for picking up a big bargain.
