26. Iron Fist sanctions! (Ask for recommendations!) )
"Teacher Hubert!"
Cancer didn't seem surprised to see the old general, and he stepped forward enthusiastically to give the old general a hug.
"Stop, Your Highness Canthe... What's going on? ”
Hubert observed that Kanther's face was much cleaner than that of Elena beside him, and even the knight's armor was polished.
From Canther's blood-stained countenance alone, General Hubert could be sure that he had not been resurrected by some necromancy, but a living man.
"Refugees, of course, Mr. Hubert."
Hearing Hubert's harsh scolding at him, Cancer put away the warm smile on his face and responded directly to what Hubert himself was doing.
"Helping refugees?"
Hubert turned his gaze to the refugees who had lined up to board the wooden boats, and when Hubert turned his gaze to the wooden boats docked by the harbor, he suddenly understood something.
"Your Highness Canther, you betrayed us?" General Hubert questioned the prince in a loud voice.
Although the ship was flying the flag of the royal family of Scalley, it was in the style of a ship from a neighboring country.
The ships owned by the Kingdom of Scarre had been destroyed by the Bloodcrystal Beasts half a year ago, which also caused Hubert to travel all the way from the royal capital to the city on a walking beast.
"Betrayal? General Hubert, you can't just put a non-existent charge on me. ”
The moment Canther heard this, there was no sign of respect in his voice.
"Where were your two younger brothers, Mo Xiuze and Nansir, when they were defending against the attack of the Blood Crystal Beast in Starfall City?"
General Hubert raised his voice again to question Canthe, his eyes widening as if he were about to swallow him.
"Where were you when your knights fought with the Blood Crystal Beast for three days and three nights to protect the royal capital!"
The reason why General Hubert was so angry was because Kanther was once the head of the First Knights of the Kingdom and was also Hubert's apprentice.
Half a year ago, General Hubert thought that Kanther had died on the battlefield, and mourned him for a whole day, after which Hubert, who was already sixty-seven years old, took over the post of head of the First Knights.
But now Kanther is not only not dead, but has abandoned his people, and his family has fled to a neighboring country... No, it should be said to be pleasure.
"I'm in the kingdom of Shuenzhelai! Is this answer sufficient? Kanther also interrupted General Hubert's rebuke with some anger, "But this is not a betrayal!" I've made a deal with the kingdom of Shuen-Jelai! They are willing to save the refugees of our country! ”
"Save? I think it's plunder! ”
General Hubert saw through Canther's plan at a glance, and he intended to take these refugees to the neighboring country, and make them the property of the neighboring country, so that if the king was in a good mood, they might become ordinary citizens, and if he was in a bad mood, they could only be slaves.
After all, in the eyes of their neighbors, they are outsiders after all.
"And what are you going to do? Let these people wait here to die? I'm not as stupid as my brothers, and there's no difference between going out to fight the Blood Crystal and sending me to death! Kanther also shouted at General Hubert.
"You are the young man of this country, the first knight of Scarre, and this land has raised you! When it is invaded by the enemy and is enveloped in war, who else will ...... if you don't stand up"
General Hubert let out a deep sigh as he said this, as if he had aged by ten years, he shook his head a little sadly, and turned to leave here.
"The honor of the First Knight is not as important as his life! What if you give everything to Scarley? Look at Elena's mother, she's done so much for Scarre, and she's not just as spurned! ”
Canther was really angry now, and in the middle of his sentence, he suddenly saw Princess Elena beside Hubert, so he couldn't help but mention the tragic experience of Queen Elena's mother.
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, Canther realized that he was wrong.
Elena, who had been following General Hubert as she was about to leave the port, suddenly stopped her steps, and she slowly turned around and looked at Prince Kanther quietly with her scarlet pupils.
"You... What happened to my mother? ”
Elena suppressed her anger in her voice as she stepped towards Prince Kanther.
"Stop her! Hurry up and stop her! ”
Kanther lost his mind at this moment, and he called out to the soldiers beside him, trying for them to stop Princess Elena.
"Stand down!"
General Hubert shouted orders to the soldiers who were ready to step forward with spears, the majesty of the former first knight of the kingdom had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the soldiers chose to obey Hubert's orders.
"Don't come here! Don't come here! ”
Canther shouted and stepped back, acting in a manner that did not resemble the First Horseman.
Because Cancer suddenly remembered the experience of being pressed to the ground and beaten by Elena who was only ten years old when he was a child.
At that time, he was also very malicious and made a joke about his mother in front of Elena, but Elena, who was still eating snacks with a spoon one second, threw down the spoon and greeted him in the face with his fist the next second.
Before that, Canther had heard the palace guards say several times, 'If Her Highness Elena can join the Order, she may be the strongest knight the kingdom has ever seen.' ’
Kanther had always scoffed at this sentence, how could a little girl who was only ten years old become the strongest knight in the kingdom.
It wasn't until Elena was small enough to punch him in the face with a cute fist that he could hear the sound of a broken bone that Kanther instantly understood what the guards meant.
For nine years, Canther thought that he was completely different from before, that he was the strongest knight in the kingdom, and when he drew his knight's sword to teach this little girl a good lesson.
Elena had raised her fist and swung it into his cheek.
And today, after nine years, Canther finally experienced the true meaning of the word again... The Iron Fist of the First Knight of the Kingdom.
Cancer felt no pain, as his brain lost consciousness at the moment Elena's fist slammed into his cheek.
In a trance, he felt a sense of weightlessness, and when he came back to his senses... There was a pain behind his cheeks and even in his lower back, which was close to breaking.
Cancer looked up with difficulty... I found myself on the edge of the harbor, three meters away, and everything I saw in front of me was a triple image.
He tried to get up again and regain his dignity as the First Knight, but Kanther couldn't hold on and fell to the ground unconscious.
