Chapter 8: Karen's Wrath (I)
With Karen's roar, the originally noisy hall quickly fell silent as if it had been frozen.
After a while, with the sound of steel boots tapping on the floor, the two knights who had been on duty at the beginning of the staircase walked in.
"Georgie Eden, do you know why I asked you to come here?"
Squinting at the two of them, Karen walked with her hands in front of her chest with a "I'm very unhappy" expression.
"I don't know. ”
After a moment of silence, the knight named Eden shrugged his shoulders, it was this knight who recognized little Lori in the hall, so Leah naturally knew this knight who had seen her before.
"But I hope the head of the regiment can give us a face. ”
Although Leah didn't know the other knight, she thought that he was Georgie, and at this time, the knight, who looked younger than Eden, saluted gracefully, and then said humbly.
"Today I received a letter from His Majesty the King, who told me that he was going to send a team of the Royal Knights' sub-#Sex Novelhttp://wWw./class12/1.html to Snow Lotus City!"
"Royal Knight!?come here?why!?"
Hearing Karen's words, Eden asked impatiently.
"Because he clearly saw that his wine was too bad, and he needed to add something good to increase the strength of the wine!!"
Karen's words made the two knights' faces blush to the base of their ears.
"Yes, yes. Karen continued, her voice getting louder and louder, "Your Majesty is right, I can guarantee that the Golden Lily Knights are always a shame in the court. Last week the three of you went on patrol with a squad, don't quibble, I remember it very well - you, Georgie and Alec, with a squad of twelve infantry, were beaten by the orcs and fled. You see, you see, all twelve soldiers were killed, and only three knights escaped. This was reported to the king by the Overseer, and His Majesty asked me in a letter, 'Is it true that your knight is superior to a soldier because he has a pair of legs for escape?......' By the way, Alec, where is Alex, why didn't I see him?"
"He's sick, regimental commander, and he's very sick. ”
Georgie replied with a sad face.
"Sick?
"Wind chill, dear captain. Hot and cold, swinging, and still talking nonsense with a high fever. ”
Eden added.
"Wind Chill!?Eden, what a funny joke this is, a man of his strength, he has Wind Chill? I remember that since I became a third-level knight, I no longer know what Wind Chill is...... He must have been wounded, maybe dead, but he hadn't been registered on the death list yet. Anyway, I understand, you can stay in the castle in peace in the future, patrols and other things will be done by the upcoming Royal Knights, they are all brave warriors, and they will not take a step back until they die. Run, run or something, it's only suitable for the knights of the Golden Lily Order!"
Georgie and Eden trembled with anger, but they understood that the reason why the girl in front of them was so sarcastic was entirely out of love for them. This is not an era when life is paramount, and even more so for knights, honor is far more important than life, Karin loves her knights, so she hopes that those warriors standing on the northern frontier can have more honor than anyone else, obviously, escape is not among them.
The three knights told the soldiers to go to their deaths and ran back themselves. Karen continued, knowing how these words would hurt the two knights in front of her, but she was still as fierce as a sharp knife, stabbing each other in the chest one by one, "Ah...... The knights of the Golden Lily Knights fled. I'm going to go to His Majesty and ask him to take me in as a lieutenant in the Royal Order, and if I refuse, I'll become a nun at home!"
Finally, Karen's words not only made the two knights present tremble, but even all the knights standing guard at the door, in the hall downstairs, were in an uproar, and they shouted and decided to find an opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the orcs.
"Alright, my dear Sister Karen, I understand how you feel, but I think you should give the two warriors a chance to explain. ”
Kalian's stormy speech attack shocked Leah, but no matter what, she decided to come out and make peace. On the other hand, Leona was eager to find a place to get down, and it was not good to stand aside and watch the two knights being scolded as if nothing happened.
"Of course I'll give you a chance to explain, or I wouldn't have called you over. I know you are brave men, and if you have the right reasons for what you have done, I guarantee that your honor will not be lost in the slightest. ”
Hearing Leah's words, Kalian's tone softened, her feelings were complicated about this matter, and she felt very angry that her knights had fled in defeat. But on the other hand, she also understands that there may be something impractical in this matter—the Overseer. It was an agency sent by the king to strengthen his control over the frontier army, and their main responsibility was to supervise the army at the border and report directly to the king what was happening here.
This is not so much a military camp as a place with a political flavor, and the people of the Overseer are more concerned with how to extract the power they want from Karen's hands than with the army who is concerned with how to achieve victory and increase their military exploits, and because of this, they use their power to send war reports directly to His Majesty the King without knowing Guò Commander Karen, and do a lot of shady things, the most obvious way is- When they won a battle, they deliberately but without a trace emphasized their role in the battle report, and when they lost the battle, they also deliberately but without a trace said that it had nothing to do with them, and that it was the commander's willful action. In short, they used this almost slanderous method to undermine His Majesty's trust in the local commanders, so that they could give more power to themselves.
But here we have to say a fair word to these people - their war reports, though they are of all colors, but they are very subtle and do not cross that line, which is a kind of subtle and subtle slander, and even if you take those war reports to a court-martial, they will have a way to exonerate themselves. As I said at the beginning, they are politicians who are better at writing than dancing with swords.
Obviously, Karen also knew that the king's letter had the smell of these people, but she still decided to scold the two indiscriminately before finding out what was going on, and at the same time deliberately let the knights of the entire castle hear. She was accustomed to stabbing her knights when it was okay, so that they were always as hot as fresh mustard, so that they would be screaming and courageous in battle. Karene understands that she is a soldier and a general, and that it is not wise to put pen to paper with those politicians, and the only way is to achieve more military exploits. No matter how much you add fuel to the battle report, a victory is always the most due to the general and his troops, as long as the king's head does not get into the water, there is no doubt about this.
Now that Karen's purpose had been achieved, the knights downstairs were furious, desperate to find an opportunity to teach the orcs a lesson. So she began to ask the knights to tell them what had happened, and if there was anything wrong with it, she would help them.
