"Leo, you're back?"

Adolf walked over, and Lao Yuan happily opened his arms and gave Roy a hug as he stood up. Fano on the side also smiled and nodded to Roy.

"You and Lord Renault already know each other, right?" Adolf asked, turning his head to look at Renault.

Roy nodded, looked at Adolf with a strange expression, and said, "We already know each other." I was chatting with Renault-sama just now, and I heard that there seems to be something wrong with our training?"

Ahem. Adolf coughed twice under Roy's gaze, his face was slightly red, and he turned to Renault and said, "Lord Renault, I want to talk to Leo alone first, okay?"

"Of course. Renault gestured.

Roy got up and walked to the side with Adolf. Adolf briefly recounted what had happened after Roy left. Including the agreement between Renault and himself, he was also informed one by one.

For Roy, Adolf completely regarded him as his own son and nephew, not to mention, in the secret cooperation with the Renault family, Roy and his Southern Cross Knights occupy an extremely important position, so there will be no hiding from Roy and Adolf.

The more he listened, the more surprised Roy became.

Seeing Renault appear in the Grand Duke's Mansion before, he was already vaguely aware that there was a problem. After all, the Renault family was on the opposite side, and even if Charles and Anse Air had Adolf's friendship, their relationship would be limited to a limited level of cooperation that was not overtly extended.

And the socialization between the aristocracy, every detail involves politics.

If it were people of the level of Charles and Scott, appearing in Adolf's mansion, it would be nothing, but Renaud, who is the patriarch of the family, would not be normal if he appeared here.

Therefore, when he saw Renault, Roy felt very strange. But no matter how bold his imagination was, he didn't expect that the truth of the matter would be like this.

The Renault family defects to the royal family!

Roy's heart shook.

Why?

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Roy immediately found many reasons for Renault.

For example, the interference of Watts and others in the Tomahawk Knights, such as Stevenson's betrayal, such as the rumored suspicion of Donald, such as the situation of the demon invasion, Lulian's increasing value and the practical interests of the Renault family......

However, none of this could convince Roy.

His mother's death was a thorn in Roy's heart. You know, even at that time, my grandfather Renault didn't break with Donald.

"Do you believe him, Grand Duke?" Roy asked.

"Although there are some surprises, but since this kind of thing has been brought up by Duke Renault, it should not be fake. It's about the entire Renault family. Adolf said seriously.

Roy was silent.

He also had an understanding of the rules of the nobility. Knowing that in this kind of matter, if Renault goes back on his word, the Renault family will become the object of spurning of all nobles.

Historically, there have been many families who pretended to take refuge and then betrayed. However, those are small families, outcasts under special circumstances. From the very beginning, they had already abandoned the prestige and glory of the family.

The Renault family, on the other hand, is definitely not among them.

No one could make such a sacrifice from a top family like Renault, not even Donald.

Besides, such a defection is not a matter of Grand Duke Renault's empty words. There are many relationships and issues involved.

Especially according to Adolf, if Renault transferred all the family business to Lulian, it would basically be equivalent to Renault pressing everything in the family on the gambling table!

Such a bargaining chip is not something he can take back if he wants to!

Roy was in a very mixed mood.

On the one hand, he wants it to be true. After all, the defection of the Renault family is definitely a heavy blow to Donald. And it is of great help to the royal family. But on the other hand, the death of his mother made him unable to forgive them.

After thinking about it, Roy asked, "Your Highness, if I don't want to cooperate with them, there are other ...... in the training of the Knights."

Before Roy could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Adolf.

"That's why Fano and I came here," Adolf said with a wry smile, "and you don't know that Mr. Rook went to Fano just now and asked them to train the Knights themselves. Rook is your man, and you're not there. Fano, of course, could not refuse. Now, they have pulled the Order out of the city of Muni. ”

"They?" Roy froze.

"In addition to Rook, there are eleven knights about the same age as Mr. Rook," Adolf frowned, "Why, don't you know any of these people?"

Roy's mind turned, and he immediately guessed what was going on.

When Rook found him, he said that in order to find his whereabouts, his grandfather Roland sent many knights of the Knights of Farrington to various parts of the continent.

Apparently, Rook found these people and brought them to Lurian.

Roy's eyes gradually lit up - if his guess was correct, then these people should be the same as Rook, Farrington warriors.

Farrington!

Is there anyone in this world who doesn't understand what this name means?

That represents a war that has lasted for hundreds of years, and it represents a group of warriors who have grown up in the war and are fighting in blood and fire all the time!

If such a group of people really came to him, did he still need to worry about the training of the Knights?

Who on this continent would dare to say that they know more about military affairs than the Farrington warriors who have been fighting for three hundred years, and who would dare to boast before them about strategy, tactics, training, and even everything about war?!

No one dares!

Those who are arrogant know that for the Farringtons, war has become an instinct in their marrow. They are the most professional soldiers in the world.

Roy could have imagined how confused Rook would have been when they came to Lulian and heard about the training of the Knights of the Southern Cross.

Their own knights are still stumped by such a thing as training?

In such a situation, finding Fano and taking over the training authority of the Knights is something that Luke and them do not need to think about at all.

The thought that his knighthood would be trained by the Farrington warriors like Rook made Roy's heart beat faster and he couldn't help but be excited.

He couldn't wait to see a Southern Cross Knights trained by the Knights of Farrington.

"Boy, how do you decide this?" Adolf asked with some confusion as Roy smiled with excitement that was almost silly.

"Whatever Rook says, do it. Roy said without hesitation.

"Are you sure?" Adolf asked, surprised.

Although he knew Roy's trust in Roke, he still didn't expect that Roy would give Roy the training to Rouk.

In any case, he did not think that when it came to training an army, Rooke could match the Renault family, who had dominated the world for decades.

"Boy," said Adolf before Roy could reply, "you have to think clearly. You can't be sloppy about training. You see, I promised to help you train your people, but even we couldn't do it. At the end of the day, you'll probably have to find them......"

Adolf glanced back at Reynolds Scott and told Roy about the difficulties of military training, especially the difficulty of training mercenaries.

He finally said, "...... Now the Duke of Renault has come to you and offered to cooperate. You might as well listen to their conditions. After all, the initiative is in your hands now, but once you reject them, if you want to cooperate in the future, I'm afraid the conditions will be different......"

There were some words that Adolf couldn't say.

About the Duke of Reynaud's secret arrival in Lulian to seek cooperation, he had already reported to Edward I.

It is said that upon hearing the news, Edward jumped up from his chair. He snatched the secret letter, and after reading it several times, he still couldn't hold back his excitement, and turned back and forth in the study several times, applauding again and again.

Everyone knows that if the struggle between the royal family and the Donald has been in a delicate equilibrium for thirty years, that balance has begun to change when the Philaean Empire invaded.

And now that the demon invasion is coming, the empire is already about to change dramatically.

This kind of great change is not only a life-and-death battle against the demons, but also a major eruption of the imperial political situation, a volcano that has accumulated for thirty years.

No one knows what will happen when the coalition forces march north, when the lords and nobles loyal to the royal family lead a large army and the army led by the lords loyal to Donald gather in the same place.

Everyone only knows that even if the demon army presses the realm, even if it is life and death, what should happen will still happen.

And all this, no one can stop, including Edward and Donald.

It was the torrent of fate that broke through the already crumbling embankment and crashed down. Everything will be swept away, and nothing can be stopped.

Whether it is the opposing sides or the neutral side, or the grass swaying from side to side, they can only pray for the favor of Lady Luck in this torrent.

And at the moment when such a great change is about to begin, the renault family's refuge will undoubtedly have an extremely far-reaching impact on the political situation of the empire.

It was a milestone victory for the royal family.

Not to mention how strong the arrival of the Tomahawk Knights will be to support the strength of the royal family, just the public opinion caused by the announcement of this news is enough to push the prestige of the royal family to a peak.

And for the overwhelmed Donald, it will be a big blow.

When people are shocked to find that even the tomahawk knights, who are his diehards, have abandoned him, they will understand that the body shrouded in Donald's powerful cloak has long been weakened.

This collapse of image is the most fatal for people like Donald.

After all, this is the Solan Empire, not the Donald Empire. At some point, justice can be sacrificed. But at some point, the name of righteousness is a good excuse for people to turn to the winner.

Edward didn't need how weak Donald was.

He just needs Donald to become not strong enough in the eyes of the noble lords.

Therefore, when Edward learned that the Renault family had taken refuge, he was not so excited that he lost his temper, which was already the result of his great control.

In his reply to Adolf, he did not hesitate to give all the conditions he could.

It can be said that in the future in the royal system, the Renault family will get much more than they will get in the Donald system!

However, until the dust settles, there are still uncertainties.

Therefore, Roy's attitude is all the more important.

As early as his arrival in Lulian, Renaud showed a strong interest in the Knights of the Southern Cross and Roy during his interactions with Adolf.

Adolf was not surprised by this.

After all, the Renault family started as a knight order and was based on war. As an Imperial General, if Renault was indifferent to the four hundred Glory Knights and hundreds of Heavenly Transformation Demon Costumes, then he would not be Renault.

Even in the context of the entire Solan Empire, this is a decisive force.

Obtaining this power, or making enemies of it, will be a matter that every family will have to think carefully, whether they want it or not.

And when the other families are just waiting and seeing, they are just greedy, and they can't get in touch with Roy yet. As long as he can use training as an opportunity to reach a cooperation with Roy, the Renault family may be able to get ahead.

The benefits speak for themselves.

As the premier family of the Solan Empire, they have too many ways to make a young man feel good and even belong.

If the interests are used in the future, marriage ties Roy to the chariot of the Renault family, and the strength of the Tomahawk Knights will rise to a higher level.

This step is no ordinary step.

That would make the Tomahawk Knights the first of the five Knights of the Empire!

Of course, with Adolf's understanding of Roy, these calculations of the Renault family are difficult to achieve. Roy, this kid is not a rookie who has never seen the market.

It's a little fox!

With his wisdom and character, he would never leave his fate to anyone.

What's more, Renault doesn't know the true identity of this kid yet. If he knew that this "Leo" was actually Roy, I am afraid he would not have any unrealistic ideas.

After all, this is Princess Elethea's guardian knight, and he is also the person who has a name in front of His Majesty Edward.

It is precisely because of this that Adolf is relieved to let Roy and Renault cooperate.

The Renault family can only get a little benefit.

He didn't mind that. As long as it's good for Roy as well. Importantly, this will make the bond between Renault and the royal family even closer.

Of course, these calculations were only in Adolf's heart. Even if he hopes that the cooperation with the Renault family will go well, he will never exchange Roy for it. In Adolf's mind, this teenager is far more important than anyone else. If he didn't want to, he would never have any reluctance.

Adolf's words silenced Roy for a moment.

It's just that what Adolf doesn't know is that Roy is not thinking about who the Knights will train or what conditions the Renault family will prescribe.

That's a mixed emotion. It is a clash of blood, affection and reason.

On the one hand, Roy would love to reject Renault with the most indifferent attitude. Even arch Scott's fire, detonate a conflict, and thus fight.

No one knows how happy it would be to be able to punch his dead mother in the face of this "uncle". No one knows how much the grievances and anger that have accumulated for more than ten years need to be vented.

But on the other hand, he couldn't ignore that blood connection.

Although the other party didn't know his identity, although he only said something that did not belong to the family, Roy still wanted to sit in front of Renault, look into the eyes of the old man, listen to him, observe his wrinkles, his smile.

Among them, that includes Scott.

Roy gritted his teeth.

It was the first time he had seen his loved ones.

For the first time in more than a decade!

If they were ordinary children who had left home, if they hadn't turned a blind eye to their mother's death, if they hadn't given up their fiancée to someone else, I would have hugged them and told them how much I missed them and how happy I was to see them.

I am curious about everything about them, and I am willing to share everything I have with them, chat with them in front of the fireplace, drink together, talk and laugh together...... Just like all the people who have been together for a long time.

But this is the Renault family!

After a moment of silence, Roy couldn't get past himself after all.

Will a dead mother forgive such a cold-blooded father and brother? Therefore, any acceptance of the Renault family is tantamount to a betrayal of the dead mother.

Roy shook his head and said, "Your Highness, I know what you said. However, I don't think I have much to do with the Tomahawk Knights......"

He paused and said word by word: "No matter what the conditions." ”
