Chapter XXXVIII: The Lord's Declaration
Cross summoned the inhabitants of Copperhill to the middle of the town, except, of course, the healer.
After the defensive battle and the disposal of the corpses, these civilians were already a little tired, and they were about to make up for a nap, but unexpectedly, the hero of saving the town gathered them, and when they came to the center of the town, they found that there were other people besides Cross, those who claimed to be friends of Cross.
"Hey, do you know what Lord Cross called us here for?"
"How do I know, presumably to declare to be our lord?"
"I remember he said that the lord of Copper Mountain seems to be a man named Gawain, and you say that the one named Gawain is not among those people. ”
"It can't be the old man, is it? ”
"I still hope that Lord Cross will be our lord, at least, he will protect us. ”
"Well, and Lord Cross is extremely brave, and with such a strong werewolf partner, he will definitely be able to protect us and protect Copper Mountain Town. ”
"I'm looking forward to seeing what our Copperhill Town will become under the stewardship of Lord Cross. ”
Someone in the crowd had already started whispering.
"Everyone is quiet. I feel honored to be able to protect Tongshan Town with you today. Actually, I'm here because of my friends. He is the true lord of Coppermountain, Gawain. Cross motioned for Gawain to step forward.
Gawain waved at the dozens of civilians in front of him, looking at this group of people dressed like beggars, he felt a wave of pity in his heart, this was the first time he had come to such a remote place, and it was also the first time he had seen so many poor people.
In fact, when Gao Wen first stepped into Tongshan Town, he still couldn't believe what he saw, because everything here was so simple, so simple, and even a little primitive. At that time, he suddenly regretted coming to this place. It was at that time that he poured out his resentment on Cross under the pretext of the dangerous mountain road.
In Gao Wen's cognition, a place rich in copper mines could not be poor, and he was planning to build a small palace in Tongshan Town, but the reality was completely different from his imagination. Not to mention the palace, it is already nice to have a decent house.
So, when he saw the true state of the civilians of Copper Mountain Town, he felt pity. He no longer has so much resistance to this place, and he no longer has so much resistance to Cross's orders.
"I'm Gawain, who was once made lord of Copperhill by the late Earl Thor Crane, and I would have been here next year. However, Klein Collar has changed dramatically. Joey usurped, and Crane led the chaos.
And I, thinking of the town of Copper Mountain, I want to come here to fulfill my responsibilities as a lord.
However, I am only a young and pleasure-hungry nobleman, and I have no experience in governing territory, nor can I protect the town of Copperhill.
Luckily, I met my childhood friend, Cross. He grew up at the Imperial Military Academy, he was well educated, he was valiant, he had a sense of justice, and he was always able to calm down when faced with powerful enemies, and he was better suited to be a lord than me.
Therefore, I declare to everyone in Copperhill today that Cross Klein is the true lord of Copperhill from now on, and from now on, we will protect Copperhill together. ”
After a moment of silence, the crowd began to cheer, and they chanted Cross's name, which was their own way of celebrating.
And Cross himself was also shocked by Gawain's words, he simply asked Gawain to announce the new lord of Copperhill Town, but he didn't expect that Gawain's performance far exceeded Clos's expectations, and even Gawain himself didn't expect to say such a thing.
"But!" Gawain seemed to be still unfinished, and these two words instantly quieted the scene. "I have a pact with Cross that once he becomes lord of the entire Klein Territory, he will give me the richest city, and you will bear witness for me. ”
The civilians did not dare to speak, they did not expect Cross to become the lord of the Klein Lord, they only hoped that they would not be oppressed again.
Cross laughed, "Gawain, you remember this kind of agreement the most. ”
"I don't want to be deceived by you, you always lied to me when I was a child. ”
"Hahaha......" Cross smiled and patted Gawain on the shoulder, then stepped forward and said to the crowd, "What Gawain just said was not a joke, I did promise him."
Now that Klein is in turmoil, there are two forces of Joey and Reinhardt inside, and there is an invasion of the Kingdom of Seajarta outside, and the Empire doesn't seem to have the energy to support us.
I don't want to see the Klein Territory torn apart, I don't want to see the people of the Crane Territory suffer from the war, and I don't want to see any town slaughtered like Blackwater, I want the Crane Territory to be reborn from destruction.
However, it is not something that can be done simply, I need everyone's help, and I must unite all the forces that can be united.
I will start my journey from here. ”
Klosston paused, scanning the expressions of the civilians. Sure enough, most people don't seem to understand, and some of them should have understood, waiting for Cross's next speech.
Close decided to put it simply, "I'm now the lord of Coppermountain, and besides, I'll do everything a lord should do.
However, there are a few things I would like to announce.
First, this young man is a Seattan man, and he is now my bodyguard.
Second, this old man is an alchemist, and I will learn alchemy from him.
Thirdly, among the two maidens who came with them was an alchemist, and the one with the double ponytail was,
Fourth, another silver-haired girl was a half-human,
Fifth, werewolves are my companions. ”
