Lord of Lowland

Chapter 375 Bartley's decision
After hearing Cecil's words, Lord Bartlet fell into a long silence and did not speak for a long time.Finally, he raised his hands and said to Cecil: "I am different from you. I am not from a noble family. I am not in the army. It was King Hareton who promoted me from a small soldier to a soldier." It is almost impossible to become the leader of the Knights of the Blood Eagle in this country, so King Hareton has given me a new life. I have sworn to be loyal to him until the end of the world, so I will never Betray him and you can take away the Blood Eagle Knights, but I will not surrender to you."

Cecil immediately understood what he said. The Lowvalan Continent is a strictly hierarchical society. Nobles not only control all social resources, but even a person's talent and personal ability depend on your origin and background. Even if someone from any background is capable, it is difficult to stand out in such a background full of aristocrats.And Bartley's ability to stand out against such a background is obviously inseparable from King Hareton's strong support.Of course, this is also the same as the fundamental reason why King Hareton did this because he wanted to attack the nobles to maintain the royal power, but objectively, he did use a group of low-level generals, especially the king deliberately sent these people to the kingdom. The knights made arrangements, and even three knights, including Grand Knight Bartley, became the head of the first-line knights.They have always been discriminated against by the nobles, so they are more loyal to the king. Now that King Hareton has lost power, the political lives of these people are actually over.

"How about this, you can live with me first, once you get the news of Prince Lucas, or Prince Lucas has separated from the Eluk Empire and got rid of the status of a puppet, how about I let you go? "Cecil is still unwilling to give up the Bartley Grand Knight. If there is a legendary Grand Knight who surrenders to him and takes the entire empire's first-line knights as his own, then his strength will obviously grow considerably.But he didn't have any good way to make the Bartley Grand Knight surrender, so he remembered a certain allusion before he crossed, hoping to succeed.

Hearing what Cecil said, Grand Knight Bartley was taken aback immediately: "You, what are you talking about?"I live with you first?If Prince Lucas needs me, or Prince Lucas is out of the control of the Eluk Empire, you let me leave you to follow him? "Bartley looked at Cecil, obviously in disbelief.

"Yes, I did what I said, so from now on you will live in my territory. As long as you can help me with things, I can save you from having to swear allegiance to me. We are not directly affiliated. If you want to leave, I will Don't try to stop him, you also know that now the Aluk Empire must be cutting off the wings of Prince Lucas, the people around him may not have a good life, and you may die if you go to him now, why don't you temporarily In my place, once he has something to do or he needs you, how about you go to him?" In order to let Grand Knight Bartley stay, Cecil has already offered very generous conditions. .

Grand Knight Bartley was obviously lost in thought. He never thought that Cecil would propose such a condition, and he was obviously embarrassed. Cecil's suggestion moved his heart, and besides, who would want it when it was a matter of life and death? to die?Now this method can survive without betraying the old king Hareton, and he can be considered to be able to explain to the old king who has been so kind to him.

The great knight thought for a long time, and made up his mind and said: "Then, before Prince Lucas leaves the Eluk Empire, I will trouble you to take care of him." "Speaking of that, Grand Knight Bartley saluted Cecil as a knight. Cecil was overjoyed at once. With the help of Grand Knight Bartley, I'm afraid he could quickly take this knight order into his own hands. .

Moreover, Cecil actually had a deep meaning in making this condition for Grand Knight Bartley.Now that Prince Rex has ascended the throne, he is essentially the same kind of person as his father. When he ascended the throne, he wrote countless checks for the throne, and he had to cash them just now in order to stabilize the political situation. Part of it, but he feels that it will not be fully honored, not only will it not be honored in full, and even what has been honored may be reversed, and it is even very likely to implement more severe measures to reduce the vassal than his father.Cecil guessed that the conflict between King Rex and the nobles might appear soon and expand rapidly.Just like his own father.

It stands to reason that Cecil is definitely Prince Rex's own person, but he did not provide any support to Cecil's Samara province this time. Although the kingdom does not have enough power, Cecil Er knew in his heart that Prince Rex would not even have such a little power, otherwise, wouldn't he be a fake king?More importantly, Prince Rex felt that he had given himself too much this time, so he set some restrictions on himself.Of course, the prince did not expect that the Eluk Empire would intervene quickly. If it weren't for Cecil's unexpectedly strong strength, the Samara Province and the Blood Eagle Knights would now be owned by the Eluk Empire. The king of Sri Lanka will definitely regret his intestines.

After Grand Knight Bartley made his decision, he was welcomed by Cecil. At this time, the Grand Knight told Cecil that these mages were sent over through the teleportation array in Raella City, the capital of Samara Province. However, these mages are only the vanguard of the teleportation formation. There are two "reinforcements" of the Knights who are entering from the border area of ​​Samara Province, trying to take over Samara Province.

When Cecil heard that something was wrong, he hurriedly asked Lord Bartlet to summon all the officers of the Blood Eagle Knights to gather here. Today, Lord Bartlet deliberately gave them a day off in order to kill Cecil. Let them drink and eat meat freely, so it took some time to gather them all.When Lord Bartlet announced that he and the Blood Eagle Knights had surrendered to Cecil, there was a sudden burst of cheers below.Bartlet saw the sincere expressions of joy from the nobles below. Bartlet immediately understood that even without the appearance of a strong man like Cecil, the battle would not be fought. The soldiers had lost their basic fighting spirit. If you continue forcefully, the consequences may be disastrous.
