Lin Ye's methods against Oren are not ruthless, and in terms of ethics and morality, he is indeed inferior, which is despicable.

After all, it is very despised to threaten the head of an old man's son who has experienced the pain of losing a child.

However, Lin Ye didn't care about this, as the so-called poor people must have something to hate, and Osser was just to blame for such a fate.

And Oren's godson has no way out, so he can only reap the consequences, and as for the cavalry captain Crouff who suddenly assassinated him, he was a pawn planted from the beginning.

When he was in Windmill Village, Lin Ye let Crouff leave, and it was meaningful to leave him with the words he chose carefully.

Although Lin Ye did not have any contact with him after that, Kluf himself experienced an incident of poor protection of Othur, and his status dropped significantly.

He was uneasy, and there was no future at all if he continued to stay in the Oak family, but at this time, the eldest prince Leo fell behind in the battle for the throne.

This directly led to the complete destruction of the hope of taking advantage of the east wind of His Royal Highness Leo's ascension to the throne, and Oron even took it upon himself to intercept Lin Ye.

A soldier with no future to speak of and full of ambition will inevitably make his choice at such a time.

Oren never dreamed that Lin Ye had buried such a hand before entering the royal capital, and he himself fell off his horse in the heavy rain.

The blood stained the rain red, gathering into a trickle that was shocking, and at this moment he still didn't breathe, staring at Lin Ye with wide eyes. 【】

Looking at Osser's head in Lin Ye's hand to be exact, he raised his hand and tried to reach over, but his strength was fading rapidly, and he couldn't reach it at all.

"Although it is a bit cruel to say this, the political enemies who died at your hands may end up worse than you, right? and I believe that if I fail, the end will not be much better, but it doesn't matter, this is the price that must be paid when choosing power. ”

Lin Ye stepped out of the carriage, walked to Duke Oren, squatted down, and put the head in the box on the ground.

Walking on the path of power, you must give up a lot of things, and compassion is not able to defeat ruthless political opponents.

Duke Oren finally touched his son's head, and perhaps in this moment, he began to regret that he should not have taken this path to power.

If you had been a squire landlord in the countryside from the beginning, how good would it be to tease your grandson? Why would your grandson have to be three or four years old?

But after all, he still embarked on this road of destruction, and while enjoying the sweetness of power, he also tasted the feathers.

"Rest in peace, and take care of your son in the next life. Lin Ye closed his eyes.

Duke Oren, the head of the dignified Oak family, died here in the pouring rain. 【】

And the cavalry of the Oak family looked at each other one by one, and nearly half of them drew their swords at that time, and the atmosphere was tense.

"Brothers, Oren's father and son don't know what to do, now they are all dead, the Oak family is completely finished, instead of perishing with them, it is better to go to Lord Ming as soon as possible, follow me to do it, defect to Duke Lin Ye, there will definitely be endless glory and wealth!"

Crouff stepped up to call, and he had already made his choice the moment he stabbed his sword.

Anyway, most of the people who followed the Oak family would die in this war, and he was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that he would die unexplained and be executed in the name of a traitor.

Now the little-known Duke Lin Ye has become a big man second only to several princes after a series of events in the royal capital.

And I heard that the Duke of Lin Ye not only had a close relationship with the Inspector General Solo, but was even appreciated by Prime Minister Gomez.

Coupled with his relationship with His Royal Highness Wendy, this directly made him a figure in the royal capital second only to several princes.

This is only at the political level, and at the economic level, the Miranda Chamber of Commerce took the initiative to show goodwill, and it was rumored that the situation in the Far East was very good, and there were countless merchant ships trading to and fro.

With the opening up of land in the Far East, ordinary peasants were able to obtain even land, which was simply a paradise for poor young people.

It is also a paradise for people in various fields with various talents.

Crouff made up his mind to go to the Far East to break out of the Ming Hall, wouldn't this be better than being cannon fodder in the royal capital?

"But we are soldiers of the Oak family, how can we turn our backs on the Oak family at such a time? ”

"Our allegiance is to Duke Oren, and now that he's dead, do you want us to go back to serve that courtesan of Olnie?"

"Speaking of which, we are only accepting the employment of the Oak family, not the knights who have accepted the oath, so there is no need to sell their lives, right?"

The cavalry whispered for a while, clearly disagreement.

This directly led to the fact that they did not target Lin Ye, the initiator, in the first place.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the situation in the royal capital is chaotic now, even if you return to the Oak family, it will only be a meaningless war, and no one has a righteous reputation, is it really worth it? ”

Lin Ye waved his hand, and Fante immediately took out a very heavy bag and came out.

He grabbed a handful of them, all of them in small bags of silver coins, each of which contained fifty silver coins.

That's about two months' worth for the cavalry.

"But if you are willing to stay and carve out a career with this Duke, this Duke guarantees that you will definitely have a place in the Far East, and the treatment will not only be much better than in the Oak family, but you will also receive land, wealth, and even knighthood. ”

Lin Ye waved his hand and refused the umbrella that Iga Fukixue had brought over, and stood in the heavy rain and announced loudly.

The conditions he proposed were not unenticing, and immediately caused an uproar among the group of cavalry.

"What? to get land? Am I not mistaken? Isn't land the private property of the nobles?

"Hey, the title is the point, can a poor man get a knighthood one day? ”

"Are the rumors true? Is the Far East really a promised land?"

The surprise on the faces of the soldiers was undoubtedly moved by the young duke's words.

Crouff grew more and more triumphant, and he was glad that he had made the right choice.

"You can follow Duke Ben to the Far East to experience it for yourself, wouldn't it be clear? Duke Ben, who is unwilling to go, is not reluctant, and comes here to receive money, which can be regarded as a reward for everyone who rushed here in the rain, everyone has it, one by one. ”

Lin Ye motioned for these cavalrymen to come forward and change money.

In addition to a dozen or so older people, they also dragged their families with their mouths, and those who really couldn't leave came forward to collect the money and left.

Most of them stayed where they were.

They all seemed as determined as Crouff was.

"Very well, then you will be a member of my Far East New Army from today onwards, so be sure to follow the orders of this Duke, set off, and march towards the White Rock Province!" (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
