CHAPTER XXIV

02020202, "Father-in-law, if I were you, I should stand still, and this is the best thing for you to do." After listening to the servant's report, Twelve replied without waiting for Bridget to ask.

Bridge, who had recovered from his body, couldn't help frowning when he heard this, the Temple Legion was suddenly attacked, and it stands to reason that he should immediately go to the rescue or rescue, but Brigitte also knew that what kind of army was fighting against the Temple Legion, no matter which side he was, he couldn't offend

"Why? if the temple finds out ......" Bridget couldn't help but ask, he knew that he had the handle in Twelve's hands, but this was not the weight he used to write himself, compared to survival, the face problem became a little insignificant, so on the big issue, he needed enough reason to support the follow-up action.

The corners of Twelve's mouth raised slightly, and then said: "Because the current Tenth Guards Legion is not besieging the Temple Legion, but on the border of the Kotler Empire, successively attacking Lord Baya and Lord Bridget, causing the death of Lord Baya and the serious injury of Lord Bridget, you led the remnants of the army to resist desperately, and wiped out this rebel army with the Tenth Guard Legion who came to the rescue." ”

After a pause, Twelve continued: "You and His Highness Calle Kotler are the ultimate witnesses of this battle, even if the Temple sends someone over, you can directly say that you don't know, just push everything to His Royal Highness the Second Prince." As soon as the twelve words fell, I saw a servant hurriedly running in from outside the hall, "My lord, there is a young man who claims to be the second prince of the empire and comes to the front of the mansion with a team of soldiers......

"What about the first team of city defense soldiers?" Bridget was shocked, although he had just said His Royal Highness Kahler, and now the second prince must have come over to tell him what he had just said, but how did they get in? The city defense soldiers didn't even have a chance to call the police......

Looking at the look on Twelve's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, the hesitation on Bridget's face disappeared instantly, and he got up and sorted out his clothes and said in a deep voice to this subordinate: "Open the middle door and greet His Royal Highness the Second Prince of the Kotler Empire with the most solemn courtesy!"

The servant was stunned for a moment, but when he saw the seriousness in Bridget's eyes, he hurriedly turned around and left, the most solemn etiquette needs to be arranged for a long time, and now that everyone is at the door, he must hurry up and do his best to arrange it.

The servant hurriedly rushed out of the hall with his head down, but fell back to the hall with a bang, Brigitte just turned around to sit down, heard the sound and couldn't help but turn around, but saw a slender figure stepping forward, a silver hair casually draped behind him, the white face was delicate and unrelated, a smile spread at the corner of the mouth, making people like a spring breeze, the servant who was knocked back was just about to open his mouth to curse, when he looked up and saw the other party's face, he couldn't help but palpitate, and at this time Twelve had already gotten up to greet him.

"Why did Your Highness come in directly?"

Calle just smiled, and walked over the hall of Twelve, Brigitte still dared to slack off, and had already hurried over, just about to salute but saw that Caleb had already bowed to him, as an old lord, he naturally had a deeper study of the aristocratic etiquette, if it was about status, Brigitte should also salute according to the courtier's etiquette anyway, and if he didn't salute, it would be regarded as disrespectful.

But in the Kotler Empire, there is another etiquette, this etiquette has nothing to do with status, but with age, the young, no matter how high the status is, the older party as long as they are not slaves, they need to salute, and then the relationship between the two is only the eldest and the youngest.

This number of rites is called the elder in the Kotler Empire, and it has a long history, but in the current Kotler Empire, there are very few nobles and lords who can know this number of rites, and most people will feel panic if they encounter this kind of ceremony, because it does not conform to the common sense they know.

Calle's salute indicated that he was only visiting as a junior, so that he entered the hall directly, which was not considered a loss of manners on the part of Brigitte, and in turn it was a relief from the old lord's siege.

Twelve saw it clearly from the side, the old lord Bridget was naturally too, and there would definitely be some omissions in the hasty arrangement, and Calle's salute saved a lot of unnecessary trouble, and the old lord couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, and began to look at the rumored second prince who was not excellent.

Among the many princes, the old lord has only seen the prince alone, if the prince is like a god out of the sheath, then the second prince in front of him is like a long sword that has not yet been unsheathed, and he can only see the unmodified scabbard outside, but Rao is so, there is still a kind of compelling momentum emanating from his body, which makes people can't help but rise in awe.

"His Royal Highness came to visit suddenly, and the old man was flattered, so he invited His Highness to take a seat. Bridget hastened to return the salute, and then let Caleb sit down on the left side of the hall closest to the main seat, and Twelve followed, without the slightest embarrassment of being ignored, and by this time his wife Jessica had left the hall, and this kind of occasion was not suitable for her to appear.

The three of them sat down, the servant re-loaded drinks and snacks, and Brigitte knew in his heart that Calle was coming, so he went straight to the point, "Your Highness is here for the rebels?"

"Your Excellency, one of the purposes for which I have come here is indeed this, and since you already know it, please forgive me for taking the liberty of asking you for an attitude. Calle paused, then said, "Whatever your Excellency decides, I will gladly accept it. ”

"Even if I get reinforcements now?" Brigitte asked rhetorically, his face changed.

Kahler nodded and said: "This point is naturally your choice, although it is futile, I will not interfere, and I will naturally accept it." Bridget smiled bitterly in his heart after hearing this, although he did not come to the scene in person, but now the appearance of Calle has doomed the result of this war to the destruction of the Temple Legion, therefore, when he asked rhetorically, he did not add the words of the Temple Legion, everyone present knows the current situation, naturally everyone knows who said what.

The old lord knows that even if he goes now, in addition to collecting the corpses of the people of the Temple Legion, he will have an irreparable estrangement from the Tenth Guard Legion, although the current Calle is coming over with the identity of a junior, but his identity has never changed, this identity does not mean that he is the second prince of the Kotler Empire, but refers to his status in the Tenth Guard Legion, this legion that can directly eat 20,000 Temple Legions is definitely not an ordinary fish belly army, maybe it is more difficult to fight with other troops, for him a lord on the border of the empire, it is just a matter of turning over his hands。

"However, I need to remind Your Excellency that in the records of the military department, there is only the military merit of the encirclement and suppression of the 10th Guards Regiment, and we have not counted the number of people encircled and suppressed this time, and we will do this statistics in detail, after all, it involves military merit, so we will spend more time. Seeing that Bridget was still hesitating, Calle leisurely picked up a piece of snack and played with it in his hand.

This is a naked threat!

Bridget didn't know it was a threat, but he also knew that it was a fact, an indisputable fact, and a fact that had not yet been realized.

After a moment of hesitation, Bridget recognized the facts, from beginning to end, he was just a pawn in the hands of Calle and the ghost, no matter how he struggled, he still couldn't escape the fate of this chess piece, but these two teenagers left a lot of things for themselves, their own lives, the lives of two pearls in their palms, and even the relationship buffer of Twelve, as long as Calle exists, he will not be easily shaken by others, he and Calle are complementary to each other, and he has been tied to the big boat where Calle is from the moment he agreed to marry his eldest daughter to Twelve。

"I suppose that the 10th Guards Regiment must not have enough manpower to clean up the battlefield, can Your Highness allow my men to enter the battlefield?" Now that he is ready to follow Calle, all Brigitte has to do is to show his sincerity to Calle and make his own request.

If the Tenth Guard Legion can eat the Temple Legion, then he also needs to grow stronger, and it is definitely not possible to rely on himself and Baya's territory alone, so this war is also an opportunity for him to develop his combat power.

"Your Excellency, if you don't have a refining method, the Tenth Guards Legion can help, five days. Caleb stretched out his hand and gave the old lord a response, Brigitte nodded and beckoned a guard, and after whispering a few words, the guard left with a look of surprise, while Brigitte turned his head and continued to look at Calle, just now the second highness said more than one purpose, so what will the second prince say next who suddenly came back with his army?

"Thank you Your Highness and the Tenth Guards Legion for your help, please allow the old man to do it and invite His Highness to have a drink?"

Kahler first nodded and then shook his head slightly and said: "I'm bothered by this, everything is simple, before that, there is still one important matter to discuss with Your Excellency." ”

Bridget nodded and looked at Twelve, but found a trace of doubt flashing on Twelve's face, obviously his cheap son-in-law didn't know what Calle was going to say, the old lord couldn't help but be curious, and had a hint of anticipation for what Caleb was going to say.

"Speaking of which, it is also related to Your Excellency, since Baya has been killed by the rebels, then according to the laws of the Empire, Your Excellency can annex the territory of Lord Baya, what do you think about the development of another connected territory?" asked Caleb after taking a slow sip of red wine.

The old lord was really stunned at this moment, and he didn't expect Kahler to ask this question even if he thought about it, is this a question that a prince should consider?

But the next moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Bridget's head, this should indeed be something that a prince should consider!

In addition to a tenth guard legion, there are almost no other forces on Kahler's body, and he is now tied to his ship, so naturally he will care, so he must have his own ideas about the development of the territory, and the development of the two small territories can see the prince's talent in governance, and this is something that all lords care about, because it also involves their own interests!

"What advice does Your Highness have?" Bridget naturally didn't dare to say more when he understood this, not to mention that he was only paying attention to the battle in front of him now, and he didn't think about what would happen next, and now that Calle brought it up, he really didn't have any ideas.

"I have some experience, do you know the composition of my 10th Guards Legion?"

Bridget shook his head, he only knew the number of the 10th Guards Legion, and he naturally didn't know the composition of the soldiers that Calle said.

"They were all freed slaves from the Binis Empire, and now they are an elite that can compete with the rebels, and if they are used for territory construction, they will definitely bring unexpected results. ”

When the words fell, Bridget's face had turned pale, and looking at the second prince in front of him, who was still a young man, the old lord's heart couldn't help beating violently.

The meaning of the second prince is simple: he wants to abolish slavery!
