Field's words hit Cameron right on the point, and even if he had already made up his mind not to join in, he couldn't help but skip a beat at this time.

Imperial nobility, this is an identity that he has been expecting for decades. And if he used such an identity as a bargaining chip, then he really didn't have any reason to reject Field. Of course, as a mature guy, Cameron didn't get carried away with such a little hint. He just stared at Field, staring at every change in his expression. After a long silence, Fang said this to him.

"Nobles, this is not something to be easily promised. Even if you're a member of the Black Thorn Family, you can't just use this kind of thing as a bargaining chip. ”

Cameron would say that, and naturally he has a point. The nobility of the empire refers to the five levels of nobles of the princes and princes, and the canonization of these five levels of nobles is basically in the hands of the emperor. The emperor does not affix his own seal, and no one can arbitrarily ornate a nobleman of this rank. And the lower lords and knights are simply something that Camaron can't look down on. After all, if you want to have the right of hereditary replacement, you must have the status of a baron at the very least. If you can't pass on what you've worked hard to the next generation, then you don't want such a title.

If Field wants to impress himself with his status as a noble title, he must at least be a baron. It's just that he is just an earl himself, and he wants to promise the title of a baron with empty teeth, which is not something that is so easy to believe. At the very least, Cameron would never believe him until he had any tangible evidence that he could give himself a baron.

Having recognized Cameren's difficulty, Field didn't think he could settle him with a simple promise or two. So after taking a slow sip of the strong tea in his hand, he opened his hole cards little by little.

"I think you should know that the mission of the Black Thorn House is to guard the jungles of the south. The elves, the weird subhumans, and the troublesome lizards. These are the sources of military exploits that have always maintained the balance of power within the Black Thorn Family. And as one of the heirs of the Black Thorn Family, my territory also has to take on part of the battle tasks. Of course, you should know. These so-called meritorious tasks are nothing more than a means for us, the heirs, to cultivate our own forces. It is entirely up to us to decide who we will give this feat. And now, there is such an opportunity in front of you. ”

"There's a large tribe of lizardmen mixed with the subhumans. A full three thousand subhuman and lizardfolk slaves, plus a territory in the jungle. It is entirely possible to declare the title of a baron to the Imperial military. As long as you're willing to work with me, Major Cameren. I'd love to reward you with someone like you who is experienced and knowledgeable. After all, talent is always worth investing in, isn't it?"

"You're right. It took a lot of effort for Cameron to barely suppress the excitement in his heart. He was trying his best not to let Field see his gaffe, but it was impossible to completely cover up such emotions. Somewhat, he still has some emotional revelations. And this revelation made Field smile with satisfaction. He already felt nine out of ten. So he immediately asked Cameron about it.

"So, your answer is that you would like to cooperate with me, Major Cameron?"

"I agree in principle with the request for cooperation. But I guess I should know in advance, what exactly are you going to do. Your Excellency, the give and the reward are always the same. Since I can get such a reward, I think the price I paid should be not low. ”

"There is a reward for what you give, Major Cameron. You should know that. Now that you have such a bargaining chip in front of you, do you think you still have a chance to refuse?"

Raising an eyebrow, Field's words were not lacking in threat. He knows very well that the combination of grace and power is the key to being able to control a person. He had already given favors before, so now he naturally wanted to scare Cameron and make him think about what would happen if he went against his will.

Such a threat was useful, and at the very least, Cameron did not have the heart to reject him.

"I know that only being in a boat will make you feel at ease with me. In fact, I don't have the idea of rejecting you anymore. After all, I've been stumbling for more than ten years, and I don't want to stumble anymore. I just want to know what your purpose is, and how I can cooperate with you to meet your request. ”

"It's simple. Finally, he received an affirmative answer, and Field smiled a little satisfied. "All you have to do is tell me when you're on your journey, and then put me and a few of my men on your ship. For the rest, you just need to cover your eyes, cover your ears, and don't worry about anything, I can take care of it all myself. ”

On this issue, Field has shown confidence. And the more confident he became, the more worried Cameron became. In any case, he was an officer of the Empire, and now he was about to be reduced to the point of murdering the Imperial Imperial Family with others, which really made him feel an unspeakable guilt in his heart.

But when you think about what you can get in the end, you'll be able to get it. Cameron immediately let go of his guilt. People die for money, birds die for food, he has served the empire for so many years, but he can only get such a reward now. This in itself is unfair. For him, the favor of the Empire to him, he has already repaid in so many years of service to the Empire. Now he has to think more about himself and his descendants.

So quickly, he adjusted his mood, and then nodded to Field.

"I know what to do. Rest assured, everything will be as you wish!, Lord Earl. ”

"Very well, then I'll wait for your good news. Cameron Qing. ”

He put down his teacup and put on his coat. Field, just like he had come, quietly left the place. Looking at the teacup in front of him, Cameron was silent for a long time before he let out a long sigh and called out to the room behind him.

"You must have heard it. In that case, go pack your clothes. Then let's get ready to sell off your possessions. Here, I'm afraid we can't stay anymore. ”

"Honey, do you really need to do this?" asked Camarron, a woman with flaxen hair, holding a child with wide-eyed eyes but tightly gagging her mouth with her thumb tightly in her arms.

As for his question, Cameron first shook his head with a wry smile before explaining.

"You don't understand, dear. When the Earl appeared before me, I had no right to refuse him. Either cooperate with him, or disappear into this world quietly. For me, there's really only one option. ”

"But dear, we can go. Quietly leave here, let no one know, and don't join any of them. Isn't that the safest thing to do? If the empire is not safe, we will flee to the kingdom. If the kingdom is not safe, we will flee to the free city-states. There's always a place where we can settle down!"

The flaxen-haired woman spoke eagerly to Cameron and, apparently, she had the deepest worries about what was about to happen. In response to her concern, Cameron first reached out and hugged her trembling shoulders. Then he whispered to her.

"Don't worry, dear. It's going to be fine. Don't forget, this is above the sea. And it's up to me to decide what happens above the sea. So, there will be no problem. As usual, I will soon be back with you safely. ”

"But I'm still scared. I can't live without you, and Owen can't live without you as a father. ”

The woman's worries weren't curtailed in any way by Cameren's comfort. Because she knows what it means. She hoped to use herself and their children to dissuade Cameron from getting involved, but her words only strengthened Camiron's determination.

He stretched out his hand, stroked the top of his son's head, and then said to his wife in the firmest of tones.

"I've decided, dear. The goal I've been fighting for all my life is right now in front of my eyes, and I really can't say no. And, not just for myself, but for our children as well. I don't want my children to be just civilians for the rest of their lives, like me. I hope that starting with me, Cameron is no longer a civilian title, but a family name. Owen Cameren. My child, the future nobleman. Our children will be free from what we have suffered in the past. Isn't that what we look forward to day and night?"

"Say no more, dear. I've made up my mind. Let me set sail as usual, with your blessings!"

In the face of her husband's words, the woman stopped talking. Instead, he hugged his child and silently shed tears. It pained Cameron in his heart, but he had to endure it. Because he knows that this is what he has to do. For the sake of his children.

Thinking of this, he pinched his son's little face hard. In his expression that wanted to cry, a big smile appeared.

"My son, I will surely earn you a bright future. I swear to the Mother of Life!"
