Lord of Lowland

Chapter 391 Bartley's Wrath

When Cecil walked into the conference hall, he saw many members of the Blood Eagle Knights gathered around the hall, and everyone looked at him with a bit of hostility.Cecil thought to himself that things were really bad. The continuous battles and losses had caused heavy losses to the Knights of the Blood Eagle. Nearly one-fifth of the members died in battle. This was also a rare loss for the Knights in recent years.Cecil looked at the members of the knight order, ignored them, and walked directly into the meeting hall.

The conference hall was full of people waiting for Cecil to arrive, and the characters on both sides were clearly separated. On one side was Corin Rekel, his own direct line of troops, and on the other side was the blood eagle headed by Bartley Grand Knight. One side of the Knights, and when he entered the meeting hall, the atmosphere of the people on both sides was not normal, as if they were about to fight if they were not careful.

But Cecil's mood is quite calm now. After all, he has already settled the battle of the Great Border Desolation, and achieved an unprecedented victory. Anyway, he has completely achieved his set goal, and the rest is for him. It is no longer a problem.

But Grand Knight Bartlet seemed a little angry when he saw Cecil coming in: "My lord, our Blood Eagle Knights have engaged in the battle in private these days without the permission of His lord the king, and now we have lost nearly With a strength of 1000 people, there are countless wounded. After these days of fierce battles, half of our Blood Eagle Knights have lost their combat effectiveness. If the offensive in the swamp continues like this, our Blood Eagle Knights will probably lose their strength re-exist."

The great knight Bartley paused at this point: "And I heard that the reason why the swamp tribe invaded this time is entirely because the earl killed a Cyclops man, causing the entire Cyclops tribe to mobilize all the troops in the swamp. The forces are attacking our city of Raeira. Although you have caused a terrible disaster, my lord earl, your next behavior is even more unforgivable. You have privately withheld the news of the army's invasion and did not tell His Majesty the king. , This is a death penalty for heaven and earth. You did not join the army without the permission of the king, which put the Blood Eagle Knights in danger of extinction, and even put the entire city of Raeira in danger. Do you know that if you are killed by the king? Do you know how much guilt you have?" After speaking, the tone of Bartley Grand Knight was already extremely serious, even a bit harsh.

Cecil couldn't help being a little amused when he heard Grand Knight Bartley's stern accusation. Fortunately, he still questioned himself in the name of the king, but he had already forgotten his position. He was the king's confidant, and in front of him The great knight Bartley was the king's political enemy, so he dared to question himself in the name of the king, that was really ridiculous.

At this time, an idea suddenly flashed through Cecil's mind. Knight Bartlet has always been a cautious person. There is no way he doesn't understand the truth that he knows, but why is he still so confident? In the name of the king, he asked himself to blame the teacher?Could it be that he has secretly reached a certain level of tacit agreement with King Rex?Although he was a major contributor to the coup d'état, God may not even know how much trust the Kings have in themselves.Cecil was by no means sure how good the relationship between the king and himself was.But the problem is that even so, Grand Knight Bartley shouldn't have the guts to directly use the king to put pressure on himself, unless he and the king have a certain degree of tacit understanding.

The portal from Raeira City to the capital Issara City has always been controlled by the Blood Eagle Knights. In order to maintain the relationship with the Blood Eagle Knights, Cecil did not send himself The main purpose of taking over such important places as the teleportation array is to express the trust and tenderness to the Blood Eagle Knights, but also because the number of direct line forces is still too small to take over some important local defenses. This very important transmission point of the Blood Eagle Knights has been unable to take over.

Since the portal is in the hands of the Blood Eagle Knights, it is not surprising that the king and the Blood Eagle Knights communicate without knowing it. It is very likely that the relationship between the King and the Blood Eagle Knights has undergone changes that he does not know about. , and even the king gave some kind of promise to the Knights of the Blood Eagle, which made Grand Knight Bartlet have the courage to blatantly question him.But this kind of thing makes it hard for Cecil to believe that Bartley once showed his loyalty to Prince Lucas in front of him, but turned his head and achieved some kind of tacit understanding with King Rex. In Seale's eyes, he is really a worthless actor.Thanks to the impersonator he swore to when he expressed his surrender to himself, a certain loyal second master said something that moved him.

Cecil smiled privately and said: "Before I arrived here, the king gave me an order that I could temporarily lead the Blood Eagle Knights, but facing such an attack, I did not report to the king because I was so young. I don’t think it’s necessary to report to His Majesty the King for a large-scale battle. His Majesty the King has just become a king, and there are so many important affairs of the country waiting for him to come to his house to deal with. If such trivial matters bother him, how many things will he be busy with all day long?” Things couldn't have been better for Cecil today.Simply put on a carefree look, and slowly set his words.

When Lord Bartley heard what Cecil said, his expression changed. Even Corian and Recker on his side felt that it was a bit irresponsible for the earl to say this. There were tens of thousands of swamp troops outside. , hundreds of tribes have joined forces to exert great pressure on the entire city of Leera in the past month, which is unimaginable.The army has lost many soldiers and generals, and the morale of the troops defending the city has dropped sharply.And Cecil actually said it so lightly, saying that this was just a "little thing". It was absolutely impossible for Lord Bartley to agree with this statement.Not to mention Lord Bartlet, even Cecil himself would never have been in such a mood to accuse a deer of a horse.

Bartleda actually said: 'Your Majesty the Earl said this is just a small thing, but our Blood Eagle Knights have paid the price of thousands of people for the small thing you mentioned. We need incompetent people like us, the Blood Eagle Knights, to take care of this small matter. Starting from tomorrow, my knights will withdraw from the frontline positions, and I ask you, Lord Count, to send personnel to fill our positions.
