Crick was not a cruel man, on the contrary, he was actually quite gentle, polite to everyone, and rarely showed harshness or cruel punishment to the subordinates of the Baron's Court, or even to the beggars on the side of the road. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But this does not mean that he is weak and can be bullied, nor does it mean that he will do the wrong of a woman's kindness on key issues, such as Mr. Dong Guo or the farmer who saved the snake.

When it comes to the critical moment, he can be just as cruel and as ruthless.

Two years ago, in the winter of that day, on the battlefield on the day the sun went out, he swung his sword like a horse, and he didn't know how many people he killed.

At this moment, in the face of the Thunder Grand Duke who deceived people too much, he was furious and was also not afraid to kill!

The idea of the priest of Milomont is very good, very practical, and the key is that it points out the blind spots in his thinking.

All this time, he had never thought of fighting against the Grand Duke of Thunder. After all, the gap between Kean Leader and the Principality of Thunder is as big as heaven and earth.

If necessary, the Principality of Thunder can draw out a regular army of at least 20,000 people, of which more than 3,000 knights alone can skillfully use various weapons and can charge on war horses wearing heavy armor.

And what about Keane, if he could have gathered three thousand men at all, if all the young men and women, young and old, were drawn up, and each of them was given a sharpened wooden club as a weapon.

As for 20,000 people, don't think about it, Keane doesn't talk about people, even if you count all the livestock, you can't make up this number.

...... It's probably more practical to get 20,000 ants.

Looking at the high-end force, there are four legendary powerhouses in the Principality of Thunder, and the number that can be won over at the critical moment is about double this number, of which there are at least two directly under His Majesty the Grand Duke - one of the three marquises, the duchess's brother "The Slayer of the Blue-Eyed Dragon" Marquis Gates Enrique, is one of them.

And what about Keanling? The current number one master is the Priest of the Void Mask Church, the Priest of Milomon, level nineteen, and he has not even reached the peak of the high level - and he is not directly affiliated with Creek, among the subordinates of Creek himself, the highest level is "Three Arrows" Red, who is currently level fifteen and has just stepped into the high level.

This is completely crushed, okay!

It is true that Keane's strength is actually very strong, thirty hoplites, twenty veterans who are good at using bows and arrows or other weapons, ten or so knights, four mid-level spellcasters, and three senior adventurers, based on this, plus the temporary recruitment of militia, it is enough to make up an army of about three hundred people.

If you add to that the friendly Church of the God of Literature and Art and the Church of the Void Mask, it is estimated that there will be about twenty more adventurers, including at least three or five spellcasters, and maybe even a small branch of Templar Knights.

With such force, it is enough to crush any barony with the overwhelming power of Mount Tai, even against most viscounts, it can be defeated.

...... But against the entire Principality of Thunder, that's a matter of intelligence.

Crick has always thought so, so even if the Grand Duke of Thunder ordered him to go to the Eagle Kingdom to support him last time, he didn't dare to refuse.

But Milomon's words were like the most crucial ray of sunshine before dawn, illuminating his heart.

That's right, the Principality of Thunder is indeed powerful, and the Grand Duke of Thunder is indeed powerful, but so what?

He is just the leader of the alliance of the great nobles, in the face of a baron or viscount, he is certainly superior, but in the face of the counts, he can't play a prestige.

Kean Territory is located in the hinterland of the Earldom of Holhak, no matter if the Grand Duke of Thunder wants to send troops to exterminate or send a master to raid, he must first ask the earl's opinion, maybe the two sides will have to bargain for a while, in this world of inconvenient transportation, it is not uncommon to talk for a year and a half.

In that case, it's still a bird!

It's a big deal that Lao Tzu turned against him and went directly to Count Hallhak!

In this world, "betrayal" is a very contemptible thing, and decent people would rather die. The reason why the Grand Duke of Thunder decided to accept Keane was that he thought that Crick Keane was a decent person, and even if he was dissatisfied, he would not dare to betray him in the face of the world's condemnation.

But he is really too self-inflicted! Crick is a decent person, yes, but he is not a person of this world at all, and the concept of "loyalty" in this world has no effect on him at all.

Crick still remembers that when he was in college, there was a professor who liked to criticize the transformation of traditional literati in the past, and whenever he talked about this history, he often shouted heartbreakingly: "If there is a way, there is a way, and if there is no way, it is hidden, but what is it that you can't even hide!"

...... As a result, the professor later fought with another professor for speaking ill of the first generation of national leaders, and he didn't know whether he was loyal or treacherous.

Thanks to the blessing of the old roaring emperor, Crick remembers some historical aphorisms, although he does not know the actual source, but at least he can use them when he needs them.

Let's say, now.

The Grand Duke of Thunder is not kind, so it is not natural for Baron Keane, as the younger brother, to betray him, or even take refuge in another more reliable boss!

Doing this kind of thing, Crick only felt happy, and there was no psychological pressure at all.

But if you go against the Grand Duke of Thunder, you can do it now, and you can take refuge in Earl Hallhak, and we will discuss it later.

After all, Crick had never thought of defecting to this guy before, nor had he carefully investigated the situation of this earl, except that he knew that he was very powerful, his own strength was very strong, and he had many brothers, but he basically didn't know anything else.

Based on this information alone, you run to recognize the boss? Is this brain-dead? Or is it mentally retarded?

He thought about it, and finally couldn't help but laugh.

If there is a cross talk next to you at this time, you must hold it and say, "Why are adults laughing?"

Unfortunately not.

Everyone just looked at him in amazement, and didn't understand how he had a sad face before, and how he whispered a few words to the priest of Milomont, and then he became energetic, smiling, and hearty as if the sky was clear.

Even Milomont himself was a little confused, he felt that the plan was indeed good, but it was not so good as to make Baron Keane so happy......

Crick smiled, his eyes swept over the people in the conference room, and when he saw that everyone was at a loss, he explained with a smile: "Just now, I figured out a big thing. ”

"What's the matter?" asked Butler Leiden hurriedly.

Crick smiled mysteriously, whetted everyone's appetite again, and then said slowly: "I have sold my life for His Majesty the Grand Duke before, and now I don't owe him anything." In that case, I don't have to be loyal to him. ”

Everyone was stunned, you look at me, I look at you, most of them are a little confused.

Previously, Crick took the army of the territory to the expedition for the order of His Majesty the Duke, and it was really born and died. But how did he change his position after only a few years?

"Ladies and gentlemen, shouldn't the premise of your subordinates' loyalty to the lord be kind to his subordinates?" said Crick, "I have done my best to fight for His Majesty the Grand Duke, but how did he repay me?

"What will happen if one day you fight hard for me and come back with your wounds, and I not only do not reward you heavily, but instead take your property?"

"How is that possible!"

"Your Excellency, you're not like that!"

"yes, sir, are you kidding?"

Crick sneered, took out a short knife, and slapped it on the table with a "bang": "If there is really a special day, you don't need to say, I will wipe my neck first, so as not to be ashamed of living in the world!"

He looked at everyone's faces one by one solemnly: "Now, that's what that fat guy who lacks virtue does to me!"

Everyone suddenly understood, and one by one they were furious, and the young and vigorous Knight Charles Oss even jumped up and shouted: "It's wrong!

"The rebellion should be considered in the long run, and we can't touch the stones with eggs. Creek pressed his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said, "But there's no doubt that we don't need to pay attention to that bastard's bullshit orders from now on!"

"It's easy. Intelligence Officer Raffle said with a sneer.

Crick nodded, smiled first, and sighed again.

"Speaking of which, this guy is actually quite innocent. He just sent a letter, but he paid for his life......"

"He's not innocent!" said Patrol Leader Rhett with a cold face, "This guy galloped on his way into town, and if I hadn't been there, I'm afraid someone would have been trampled to death by his horse." At that time, he also said that there was an urgent military order to be served, and he frightened me!"

"Oh?!" Crick's eyes were cold, and his smile suddenly became a little gloomy, "Then it seems that this guy is not a good thing, and I don't have any psychological pressure." ”

"Most of these couriers are bullying villains, how many good people can there be?" said Scout Rena with a cold snort, "less than the gold in my wallet!"

"How many gold coins do you have in your wallet now?" Crick asked curiously.

Rena took out her purse and poured it, only silver and bronze, and a holy emblem of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth.

Obviously, she had saved all the gold coins, and there were no gold coins in her wallet at all.

Everyone burst into laughter, and the gloomy atmosphere was swept away.

A few days later, a group of adventurers found "the remains of an emissary from the capital, His Majesty the Grand Duke". They reported to Baron Keane and received a nice reward.

Then the Lord Baron sent a letter to the capital, reporting the matter.

As for why the messenger with good strength and escort was attacked by a demonic beast on the road, not only did he die, but he also lost most of the belongings he carried, and why this news was delivered so slowly, no one knows.

Anyway, Crick said, I don't know anything.

Whether His Majesty believes it or not, he believes it himself. (To be continued.) )
