Chapter 116: Cooperation

If it weren't for Renault standing in front of him, Adolf would have thought he was dreaming. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

How could the two hostile camps, eager to get rid of each other as soon as possible, suddenly make a big turn and want to cooperate? And what is even more unbelievable is that such words actually came from Renault's mouth. With his status and status, he actually took the initiative to ask for cooperation, which is simply ......

"Yes, cooperation. Renault nodded: "If we don't join forces, we are all dead." ”

"Really?" Adolf said, "I'm afraid that before the demons come, we will already be dead to death." Your Excellency the Duke, may I ask if this is your personal opinion, or is it ......"

Renaud shook his head: "There is no one else, just myself." ”

"Oh?"

At this moment, whether it was Adolf in the carriage or the three people outside the carriage, a bright light flashed in their eyes at the same time.

Whether Renault said what he thought personally or Donald instructed the difference could not be greater. If it was Donald's instructions, then everyone didn't have to think about it, just treat it as if it wasn't there. But if it's Renault himself, then it means he's carrying Donald behind his back.

In this way, it can be meaningful.

Could it be that after enduring it for so long, Renault is really ready to turn against Donald?

Everyone's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate.

You know, Renault is not a simple person.

The Renault family more than forty years ago, although it has been standing in the imperial military for many years, can only be regarded as a medium family. Not yet much of an impact. At that time, the Tomahawk Knights were only a medium order. The glory of following Grand Duke Solan back then seems to have dimmed with time.

But that's when young Renault appeared. At the age of only eighteen, he first stood out in the competitions of the three major training camps, and then as soon as he graduated, he joined the 10th Army of the Border Army. Shine in a local war with the Philip Empire in the border city of Longmen. With a squad of knights of less than fifty people, it ran through the main formation of an infantry regiment of the Philae Empire, which directly led to the rout of the enemy.

Later, Renault was transferred to the Knights of the Guards and the Royal Knights, and was promoted from a one-star leopard warrior to a three-star dragon school in the empire, which only took ten years.

And when he naturally took over the Tomahawk Knights, the Knights were reborn under his tutelage and their strength increased dramatically. In the past 40 years, he has experienced a hundred battles and made outstanding achievements. Fierce and cunning, he is often able to win by surprise. Among the famous generals of the empire, whether it is seniority, experience or strategy, he can be ranked in the top five.

Therefore, even if he is an enemy of the other party, the nobles of the royal family have a very high opinion of him. chatting privately, everyone doesn't know how many times they regret his pearl secret investment. If it is on the side of the royal family, everyone believes that even if the power of the two sides cannot be reversed, the gap will be greatly reduced.

And today......

"Are you serious?" Adolf stared at Renault, feeling his palms sweat a little.

In fact, Adolf felt that he was a little too cautious to ask this question.

Indeed, as far as the position of the royal camp is concerned, Renault has always been an enemy. For his words, it is natural that there should be a question mark first.

However, Adolf knew that Renault was not a man like Watts, and the Tomahawk Knights were no ordinary knights. With Renault's status and reputation, every word is related to his honor and the honor of the entire Renault family. Even if there is any conspiracy, it will not be him himself.

The only possibility is that the rumored estrangement between him and Donald is already deep, and Stevenson's betrayal stung him even more, which led to the secret Lulian trip.

Since he personally stood in front of him and said these words with his own mouth, it must have been carefully considered and there can be no doubt.

Facing Adolf's gaze, Renaud said calmly: "Seriously." ”

Without thinking about it, without even asking why, Adolf simply nodded and said, "Okay!

Adolf's simplicity surprised Renault a little. He looked at Adolf deeply for a long time before he took out a parchment scroll and handed it to Adolf.

"This is the business and property of the Renault family, which I have given to Charles, and he will transfer most of it to Lulian in the near future. I need your support in this regard. ”

"No problem. Adolf took the parchment and replied.

Whether a knight order is strong or not, in addition to elite knights, it also needs excellent commanders and a strong economic and industrial base.

The two most important factors for the Tomahawk Knights to stand tall among the five major knights of the empire are the Duke of Renault as the head of the regiment and the strong estate of the Renault family throughout the empire. That's what they're built on. And the powerful force is only the tip of the iceberg that emerges from the sea.

In the first step of cooperation, Renault took out this parchment scroll, which made Adolf completely relieved, and at the same time admired Renault's decisiveness.

To put it bluntly, this parchment scroll is the lifeblood of the Tomahawk Knights. And Renault did not hesitate to hand it over to himself. First, it is a sign of sincerity in cooperation and dispels one's own concerns. Second, he is also planning for the future of the Tomahawk Knights.

The transfer of these properties to Lulian will give the Tomahawk Knights greater strategic depth and room to maneuver. Even if the north loses for a while, it can't hurt the fundamentals. And in the face of the deteriorating situation in the north, cooperation with Lulian can make these industries better.

In the future, the Tomahawk Knights, who have relieved their worries, will have many more cards in their hands than the other four major knights, and if the situation deteriorates, their situation will also be the best one.

"Also......" Renault continued, "I will send my Black Hawk Guards to Lulian. They will cooperate with you if the need arises. Normally, they can also help you train your team. ”

Black Hawk Guards!

As soon as they heard this name, Adolf and Fano all jumped in their hearts!

This guard, they have already heard of it. Legend has it that in addition to the Tomahawk Knights on the surface, the Archduke of Renault also secretly hides a secret guard. Every member of this guard was hand-picked by Renault, and he was not only the best of the best, but also extremely loyal and fearless to death.

Before Renault joined the Tomahawk Knights, he was actually attacked once.

At that time, the Tomahawk Knights were in chaos. Not only are the officers at all levels unwilling to make progress and indulge in pleasure, but there are also many factions. Many generals either disobeyed the Renault family's directives or simply ignored them. The family can control not even a third of the troops.

Freezing three feet is not a day's cold. This situation is the result of a variety of historical reasons, and it has been going on for many years, and even many in the Renault family seem to have no hope of solving it. To put it more pessimisticly, it may even come one day when the family will not even be able to retain the control it has now.

But at this time, a young family heir who had already made a name for himself in the imperial military appeared.

Seeing that Renault was about to return to the family and inherit the Knights, the generals of the Knights all felt the crisis.

After deliberation, everyone agreed that instead of waiting for Renault to sit firmly on the throne of the regiment commander and fight him when he was rightfully packed up, it was better to take advantage of the fact that he had not come back and do it once and for all. strangle this most talented and wise star of hope of the Renault family in the cradle.

The attack took place on Renault's return to his family, and in order to ensure a lethal blow, the men sent one hundred and sixty elite knights and twenty mages, two of whom were knights of light.

But in the end, Renault returned to the family unscathed. And the bodies of the attackers sent by these people are scattered throughout the canyon where they ambushed.

The following month became the most thrilling month for the Tomahawk Knights. The officers and generals who participated in the attack plan were erased by an invisible hand in different places and in different ways. The speed is so fast and the ruthlessness is accurate, which makes people jaw-dropping and creepy.

Under this thunderous blow, the officers were completely unable to react, let alone have the power to resist. When the last deputy commander of the regiment sensed the troops and tried to gather his henchmen to rebel openly, he found that there was no one around him anymore.

The existence of the Black Eagle Guard was revealed by this deputy commander before he died. It is said that when Renault was training in the army, he used the last family funds of the Renault family to save a secret guard. It was full of family dead and outlaws collected by Renault.

And that battle was the first and only battle of the Black Hawk Guards.

After inheriting the position of head of the Tomahawk Knights, the Knights took on a new look in the hands of Renault, and later, not to mention the Black Hawk Guards, even the opponents worthy of the Knights of the Tomahawk Knights could not be found.

However, no matter how much nose and eyes there are, these are just legends.

The attack on Renault was true, but no one had ever seen this army. Not even the Donalds and Renault's long-time friends had ever met. So much so that some people say that the reason why Renault was able to win in the first place was because he had already defected to Donald at that time.

What people didn't expect was that now Renault actually confirmed the existence of this secret guard in person. Moreover, he was going to send him to Lulian.

This surprised and delighted everyone.

The arrival of the Black Hawk Guard is of great significance to Lulian. This not only means that a strong allied army sits in Lulian to protect the security of the rear, but also greatly helps to improve the strength of Lulian's army.

The so-called water and soil on one side support the other side, and the relative wealth and tranquility make the Lulian people in the south not easy to fight bravely. There are many artists and craftsmen here, as well as many wise men and politicians, but there is little output in the combat profession.

The name of the knight's desert was not obtained in a vacuum.

And there are many things that need to be accumulated for an army to become a strong army from being formed. Even after two years of war, the Lulian Army is still in dire need of improvement in tactics, training, and command skills of its commanders. Renault sent the Black Hawk Guards to help train the army, and it was just in the snow.

"It's great. Adolf high-fived and laughed.

However, after a second thought, he looked at the playground and said with some confusion, "That's why you came to the barracks, ......right?"

"I know they're not your people," Renault said, staring out the window, "so many illustrious families fought for this piece of cake, but they didn't expect to be won by an unknown young man." Although everyone didn't say it, it is now recognized in the imperial aristocratic circles that this is a fiasco......"

He turned his head and looked at Adolf, "I'm curious about what this young man wants to do when he forms this Knights. ”

"This ......," Adolf frowned.

Roy's purpose in forming this knight order, he naturally knew it. However, this involves the secret of Roy's identity, and it is impossible for him to tell Renault.

"Whatever he wants to do," said Renault, seeing Adolf's hesitation, "I'm afraid it won't be easy." ”

"Oh?" Adolf furrowed.

Reynolds said: "It's not that I'm alarmist. Your Highness, Grand Duke, you should know that there are nearly four hundred Knights of Glory, more than a thousand Knights of Justice, and dozens of Knights of Great Light and one Sanctuary...... This is almost the essence of the mercenaries in the south of the empire, and more than half of it has been scraped!"

As he spoke, his gaze fell on the dwarves and elven warriors on the playground: "...... If you add two alien sanctuary domains, a dwarven heavy armor warrior and an elven ranger army, the lineup of the Southern Cross Knights can only be described as luxurious to almost extravagant. ”

He looked back at Adolf: "Who doesn't blush?"

Adolf smiled wryly.

Not to mention others, even with his relationship with Roy, and the fact that he also received Roy's three hundred sets of Heavenly Transformation Demon Costumes, he felt a little distressed that this kid had pulled so many high-level knights away.

It is like a fruit tree that grows for a thousand years and bears fruit for a hundred years. Whether it is these mercenaries or alien warriors such as dwarves and elves, they have redeemed the essence accumulated and precipitated in the south of the continent for decades.

But in the end, it was all caught by Roy.

As Renault said, anyone who sees it will be red-eyed. Don't look at the fact that the major families are all silent on the surface, but there are probably not a few people who are secretly staring at the Southern Cross Knights.

"So, I'm here this time, I actually really want to meet this young man named Leo and hear his plans," Renaud said to Adolf, "After all, regardless of his safety, just these mercenaries will be the backbone of the resistance to the demons in the future, and they can't be idle and wasted......"

Hearing this, Adolf interrupted Renault: "Waste or not, I'm afraid it's not something we can manage, right?"

"Don't be so tense, okay?" Seeing Adolf's appearance, Renault waved his hand and smiled bitterly: "I don't mean anything else." ”

"Then you want to ......," Adolf asked.

"I took a closer look at the whole story of the Demon War, and I have to admit that Leo is indeed a rare talent. Needless to say, his personal talent is also excellent in terms of strategy and judgment. What's even more rare is that in that situation, he dared to stand up and take responsibility......"

As he spoke, Renault lifted the teapot on the coffee table in the carriage and poured two cups of tea: "...... It is impossible for such a person to do nothing. ”

Handing a cup of tea to Adolf, Renaud picked up another cup and drank it slowly, saying, "Besides, Your Majesty has canonized him as Count of Southern Cross, which means that he has officially stepped into the ranks of the nobility." In the future, whether he wants to or not, it is his duty to fight the demons......"

Adolf nodded.

With his understanding of Roy, this kid will definitely not be absent in the future demon war.

When the Ferray Empire invaded, he was still just a small handyman, and he was able to stand up at a critical moment and lead more than 2,000 Bollabel refugees to escape. Later, the Battle of Medding, the Muni City Change, the Battle of the Fjord, and the Battle of the Abyss just past, which time did he disappoint?

Don't look at his thin body and beautiful appearance. But in terms of responsibility, courage, and hardness of bones, he can't find anyone his age who can compare to him in the empire.

Sometimes Adolf wondered why such a brilliant young man was not from the Loulian family.

These days, he has repeatedly offered to marry Sophia to Roy, not just to joke with the juniors. That's really a love for Roy. In private, Adolf even thought that as long as Roy nodded, he didn't care what Sophia thought. Even if she is tied, she will be sent to the cave room!

On the other side, Renault continued: "...... In that case, he needs a bigger stage. Of course, I know that you have declared the Knights of the Southern Cross as the core allies of the Lurians, and the royal family will certainly support him in the future. Frankly, you can only help him!"

Adolf's eyes narrowed slightly, "What do you mean?"

"Let Leo join the Order of Tomahawks. Reynolds said.

As soon as he heard this, Adolf couldn't help but laugh out loud. It was said that Renault was an old fox, and sure enough, the fox's tail was revealed.

Adolf was about to speak, but was interrupted by Renault: "You listen to me...... I know what you're thinking. However, I have no intention of taking the opportunity to annex them. ”

"Oh?" Adolf raised an eyebrow at this.

"I can tell you my terms," said Renault, with a wry smile, "and first of all, I appoint him deputy commander of the Order. The status is second only to me. This would ensure that no one could command him. Secondly, the Knights of the Southern Cross remained an independent order and were only under his command. Third, I will not interfere in logistics, personnel, operational deployment, and transfers. ”

Hearing this, Adolf was stunned: "What's the difference between that plus and not?"

"There are two differences," Renault held up a finger, "First, it can make those who are staring at him two-thirds less." ”

Adolf couldn't help but nod.

That's a tangible benefit. You know, the people who beat Roy's men probably have the most ideas are the people from Donald's camp. If their horse ornaments and spear flags were adorned with the coat of arms of the Order of Tomahawks, it was not Renault's boast that two-thirds of the predators hidden in the shadows were scattered.

"Second," Renault held up a second finger, "I can help him train his people." Don't let these people go to waste. Whether he wants to make a contribution, or wants to dominate one side, he can't pull such a team that hasn't even completed the queue training to fight against the opponent, right?"

Hearing this, Adolf's eyes widened. However, when he thought that his training had indeed not improved in the past few days, he couldn't get out of the fire, so he could only look stupid.

"Then what are you trying to do?" Adolf looked at Renault coldly, "Don't tell me you just want to be a good person." ”

"Of course not," Renault smiled, "and I have two benefits. First, I'm close to the water, what if one day this young man figures it out and is willing to join my Renault family?"

Adolf pursed his lips. At this point, he is not worried at all.

"Second, I've always believed in having one more friend and one more way. If you really go to the battlefield, no one can say what will happen. Maybe one day, the Tomahawk Knights will need him to reach out and pull a hand. Now I am just planting a seed. ”

He finally picked up the teacup: "Besides, if it is not good to make friends with such a rising star of the empire, at least there is no harm, isn't it?"

"You're pretty good. Adolf said.

"How's it going?" Renault stared at Adolf.

Adolf pondered for a moment and nodded, "I'll arrange for you to meet, but whether you can convince him is your own business." ”

"Deal!" Renault smiled.
