"Big ...... My lord," said a knight, reflexively defending himself as he saw the Black Knight's gaze, "Moswood has betrayed the Tully family, betrayed the Riverlands...... And we're all on the right side, uh......"

......

"Stupid pig, are you fucking sticking your head in the barrel again?"

"I'm going to be killed by you!"

"The squirrels in the oak forest are smarter than you. ”

"Please, shut up. ”

When most of the knights heard his defense, their faces changed again, as if they had swallowed a dead mouse.

"Has this guy forgotten all the cultural lessons he took when he was a knight?"

[It is the duty of a knight to fight for the lord, and he will not hesitate to sacrifice himself to protect the lord, and he must not be afraid of bloodshed in order to protect the interests of the lord. —— "The Self-cultivation of Knights"

"Very well, I remember your name, Sir Scott. Jones replied.

"My pleasure, Master Jones. Sir Scott, whose neck was almost as thick as his head, thought he had been complimented, shook his nose with delight and exclaimed.

"Do you think so too?" Jones asked, turning his gaze to the others.

Immediately, several knights stepped forward excitedly, and the sound of armor resounded......

"No," cried the knight, who was as immature as a boy, blushing, "I want to protect the Count, but...... But......" He said a few 'buts' in a row, but he didn't hold back the second half of the sentence.

"Oh, you want to harbor a traitor to the Riverlands, my enemy?" asked Jones, coldly, "is that so, Sir Marjery. ”

"It's not...... It's ......," said the boy, trembling, as if he was about to cry at any moment.

......

Suddenly, a determined voice sounded,

"Why should your lord insult us like this, if we had the chance, we would naturally give our lives for our lord. ”

Sir Barry, who was tall and had short blond hair, exclaimed, "But things have gone beyond our expectations, and we are powerless to stop them." ”

Jones stared at him for a moment.

Barry was still unmoved, his face was resolute, and his helmet, breastplate, and iron boots were all inlaid with gold personal coats of arms, which showed that he was extremely proud in his heart.

"Oh?" Jones wasn't quite sure what was going on.

It's just that when I knew that the black fish was returning and passing by the Acorn Hall, the unlucky Earl of the Acorn Hall was directly sacrificed.

Blackfish did not hurt a single soldier.

......

"The Count was kidnapped in the middle of the night by those damned servants and cooks...... By the time we knew it, it had already happened. Sir Rodney, another tall, lanky dark-haired sir, said with fire in his eyes that he had never been insulted in succession since he became a knight.

"It's a bit bloody......," Jones thought to himself, then turned to the nobles and said apologetically, "let me take care of my own household first." ”

The skinny old woman Vance slammed her crutches into the ground, her dry old face wrinkled, and her impatience was written on it.

The big-bellied Piper didn't notice Jones's words at all, and at some point, he had already moved to the side of the noblewoman, his nose twitching the air around him vigorously, and his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was enjoying something.

Ravenna Swaine on the side stared at Jones with a smile on her face, her watery eyes as if she was talking.

"Ahem," Jones, who was stared at a little embarrassed, coughed lightly twice, and quickly turned his head back to the row of knights in front of him, "You bring all the people in the castle out, remember, all the people." ”

A dozen knights exchanged glances.

The lanky Rodney was the first to turn and walk towards the castle, followed by the tall Sir Barry, and many of the remaining knights still had confusion and confusion in their eyes, but they all obeyed the order and hurriedly followed.

......

The sun has moved a little west from just above, but the temperature hasn't dropped much.

The ducks in the moat wandered back and forth, drilling a few fierce sons hard from time to time, and quacking pleasantly.

"I'll eat you tonight," I don't know how many people thought at this time.

Finally, dozens of servants, cooks, grooms, craftsmen, sentinels, dung sweepers, and so on from the castle were all brought out.

Some were well-dressed, like a steward, while others were shabby, cowering, and smelly.

A group of people with eyes either divine or dead silence, scattered in a half-circle, looking at the tall black knight in front of them.

Even if they were reticent, they had heard the legend of the owner of the new castle, which always seemed to be associated with murder, and they were terrified.

Of course, their news is not closed.

The things in the castle are basically known to a servant, and after a while, everyone inside will know.

......

"All of you will have a new home," Jones looked at some of the ragged old men, although he felt a little unbearable in his heart, but he was really powerless to play hide and seek with the servants, thinking that he would coax them every day, and influence them with love, and one day he would change and no longer give up his lord.

"But this home won't be in the castle. Jones continued.

The servants were in an uproar, "This is to drive us away", and the young maids cried on the spot, people like them were driven out of the castle, there was nothing, almost a dead end.

"My lord, I beg mercy," said an old servant, hunched over his waist, and Jones could not help but waver a little.

But a hurried shout strengthened his original thoughts.

"My lord, I have made meritorious contributions to the Turi family, and I was the one who kidnapped the traitor Count out in the first place. ”

......

"Yes, you are all meritorious men," Jones did not feel guilty, but thought of a better way, "so I give you Sir Scott's grant, and you will all be propertied free men." ”

"Wow, the gods are above!"

"Really?" the maids stopped crying in an instant.

"The horse's face is the most durable, and the ploughing is definitely good, and I can live with him. ”

"The big duck top is the most powerful, don't grab it from me. ”

"Scott's field seems to be not small, and he can be ranked eighth. ”

"Obviously ninth, eighth Sir Rodney......"

In a few moments, the noisy quarrel completely overshadowed the ducks in the moat.

......

"Shut up," Big Nose Scott yelled angrily at the servants, then turned to Jones and pleaded, "My lord, what should I do?"

"You think the same thing as the servants, and they do what you didn't do, so there's nothing wrong with me giving them your grants?" Jones said disdainfully, and then announced loudly, "I strip you of your knighthood in the name of the lord, get out, a knight who wants to betray the lord, before I change my mind, get out of here." ”

Scott was really sweating at this time, his fat mouth was constantly opening and closing, and he wanted to say something, but the black knight didn't pay attention to him at all.

He looked at his colleague for help, and the other knights avoided him like a femme fatale.

In the end, he could only bow his head with a dead face and walk down the hillside, not even daring to ride a horse.

......

"As for you," Jones said to the other knights.

All the knights couldn't help but hold their breath, if a knight was deprived of the knighthood, it would basically be abolished, and the end would be worse than those civilians who had never sealed the knighthood.

"If you still want to keep your knighthood, then I will carefully do what I have to do. Jones continued.

According to his original idea, it was best for these knights to be withdrawn, but today I see that they still have some chivalry, so I might as well use them first, after all, knights are still extremely smooth in doing things among civilians.

Of course, more importantly, he doesn't want to challenge the entire aristocratic system, pull a batch, fight a batch, and have competition.

"Tomorrow, a new allegiance ceremony will be held for you in the presence of the people, but you can arrange the details yourself. Eventually, Jones waved his hand and drove all the knights away.

......

Before the person arrived, the refreshing aroma had arrived.

"Sir, you've driven them all away, is it my turn next?" said the noblewoman, swaying as she walked over to Jones's side.

With Jones's height, when he looked down, he saw a snow-white, like congealed white jade, trembling slightly.

"It's so hot, I feel like something is going to happen!"
