Above the Pirate King

Chapter 22 Persuade to surrender
"What way?" Marcus asked quickly, grabbing Leiris' shoulder.

"Let's talk in your room first!" Leiris glanced around and said with a smile.

"Okay!" Marcus turned and left, impatiently taking Leiris to his office.

It's just that he didn't notice that there was a blond boy in a golden armor with his eyes closed behind Lelis!
After the three of them arrived at the office.

Shaka smiled slightly, and closed the door smoothly.

"Uh!?"

Although Marcus was a little surprised, he didn't care too much, but stared at Leiris.

Leiris smiled slightly, without hiding anything, and directly stated the purpose of this visit.

Marcus pricked up his ears and listened!

after awhile.

Slowly, the expression on his face became uncertain.

"Why me?" Marcus said hoarsely, with a hint of bitterness.

"Do you still remember, when I came last year, when you and Brian were drinking?" Riles said with a chuckle.

"En!" Marcus nodded slightly.

"That day, you were drunk, completely lost control of your emotions, and cried loudly!" Leilis' eyes were a little lost, and he said with a trace of memory, "You cried and yelled at us 'Why, why, the source of all this is me elder sister!!!'"

Marcus was silent.

Lelis ignored him, but continued to speak slowly with a trace of memory: "You said, your dream since childhood was to be a knight of justice, to support justice, punish evil and promote good, so that the lives of common people can be better. !"

Marcus was silent, his head bowed, tears in his eyes.

"However, when you grow up, you find that the life of a commoner has gradually become more and more difficult. At this time, you are a little confused. I don't know why, the life of a commoner will plummet. I can't afford to support a family!"

"After a while, you thought hard to no avail, and decided to investigate the cause. Fortunately, because you have a sister who is a princess, it is easy to find out the source of all this!"

Speaking of sister, Riley paused for a moment, looked at Marcus, and saw that he was already in tears!
"In the end you discovered that the source of all this turned out to be the king! That is your brother-in-law!"

"When you were young, although the king was violent, he was also very smart. The country is not only prosperous, but because there are gold mines in the country, people's lives are also good!"

"However, slowly, I don't know why, the king changed, became extravagant, and spent money like water. Since then, the life of the people has become more and more difficult. The king spent money, and the country has no money, so I gave up my idea. On civilians!"

"Taxes are getting heavier every day. Gradually, the civilians can't bear it anymore. They have a way to escape to other countries. After they have no way to pay their debts, they can only be treated as slaves and do hard work for the kingdom!"

Marcus clenched his hands tightly, the veins on his hands were exposed!

"You are angry, you are confused, but you are helpless. Various emotions are echoing in your mind. In the end, you rushed to the palace and questioned Felt IV!"

"For your sister's sake, he didn't kill you, but sent you to this place!"

"During this period, you carefully recalled and investigated every detail, and finally you suddenly discovered that it was not the king's extravagance that caused all this, but your sister!"

"It was your most beloved sister who bewitched the king in order to satisfy her selfish desires, and made the king slowly become extravagant! But, she is your sister, and she has loved your sister since she was a child!"

"On the one hand, it is your favorite sister, and on the other hand, it is the sense of justice in your heart, which tortures you all the time. You feel painful and entangled, but you are helpless, so you want to help these miners and civilians because of this. Make your heart feel better!"

"Woo--"

Marcus couldn't help crying, and a man in his 30s with gray hair cried out!
Riley stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder to reassure him.

After a while, Marcus stopped crying and looked straight at Leiris.

"I know that you have a righteous heart, you care about the common people, and you can't bear their suffering. That's why I chose you. As long as you agree to join our Kingdom of St. Martin, it's not a problem!" Leiris said sincerely.

Marcus was a little silent. He didn't know how to make a choice. The current situation is obvious. The Kingdom of St. Martin wants to invade Fürth. Once he agrees, this island will be their position, and he will be despised by people The. Traitor!

However, Leilis is very aware of Marcus' weaknesses, and his weaknesses are exactly what Leilis admires about him!

"Do you still remember your dream? Let the civilians live a better life!" Leilis said sincerely and fiercely, "Since you want to change all this, but you can't change it, why, why don't you join someone who can What about the kingdom that changes all of this?"

Marcus was a little at a loss. What Leilis said made sense, but after all, he was a nobleman of the Kingdom of Felt, and his sister was also the princess. Thinking of this, he fell silent again!
"Do you know why our Kingdom of St. Martin attacked Bloodport Town?" Seeing that Marcus was silent, Lelis decided to add another fire.

In fact, it was not Arthur's idea to recruit Marcus, but Leilis's decision, but Arthur did not object, but let Leilis make the decision.

Arthur wants to occupy Keen Island. In addition to the coal mines above, the more important thing is to use this place as a position, gather soldiers here, and train soldiers through the war against the Kingdom of Felt.

Although the Kingdom has [-] soldiers, they were all trained in the Kingdom of St. Martin. They have never seen blood or experience in war, so they took this opportunity to train an iron-blooded army.

Otherwise, in a Felt Kingdom, with only [-] soldiers and a few gold saints dispatched, it can be done in one day, so why is it so troublesome?

"I don't know!" Marcus shook his head honestly.

"Because the pirate who attacked our kingdom fled into Blood Harbor Town!" Riley paused, then continued, "That pirate killed more than 100 civilians in our kingdom, and His Majesty the King was furious at that time, and said on the spot A sentence that makes people's blood boil!"

Marcus looked at Leiris curiously!
Leiris took a deep breath and said loudly: "Anyone who offends me will be punished no matter how far away!!!"

This sentence made Marcus' blood boil a little bit.

The skinny, poorly clothed, and starving miners flashed through his mind, and those civilians living in distress flashed through his mind.And my own men, those thin-skinned soldiers!
Thinking about the king of his own family, and then thinking about the king of other people's family, he immediately became overwhelmed and said, "Okay, I agree to join the Kingdom of St. Martin!"

"Great!" Riles said, patting Marcus on the shoulder.

Shaka, who was silent for a long time with his eyes closed, smiled and said, "You are very lucky!"

"kindness!?"

Marcus was a little strange when he heard this.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you, this is the personal guard of the king of our kingdom, the Saint Seiya Legion, the Twelve Gold Saint Seiya, Virgo, Shaka!" Leilis said with a smile, he knew Shaka clearly Add meaning.

After all, Keen Island is a more important step for Arthur. Of course, it is impossible to let Leilis get it at will. He left a last resort, Shaka!
Once Leilis failed to persuade him to surrender, Shaka would come in handy!

However, simply, Leilis succeeded!
