Lord of Lowland

Chapter 430 Return to Raela

Cecil was a little uncomfortable with King Rex's sudden order, because in his impression, Prince Rex had always trusted him very much.Now I know that this is not the case at all. It seems that this suspicious king has always been uneasy about himself, whether it is about his growing ability or his expanding territory. Extremely wary.Thinking of this, Cecil's heart sank suddenly.Staring blankly at King Rex, Rex also looked at Cecil with a dark look at this time, and Cecil felt a kind of chill from his eyes. In the past, the king had always admired himself very much. Unexpectedly, today he finally showed his face to himself.

But Cecil still accepted the king's order without hesitation. In any case, King Rex cannot be offended now, and even if the Grand Knight of Osmond is sent to lead him, he only needs to hold two Knights, then it would be difficult for Grand Knight Osmond to do anything to himself.When he thought of the two knights, Cecil thought of the blood eagle knights and the ambiguous attitude of the great knight Bartley towards him. This great knight seems to be not as loyal to the second prince as he was at the beginning. It seems that the second prince has lived The Eluk Empire has made him less and less able to control the old ministry within the kingdom.But Cecil discovered that Bartley's Grand Knight had secretly colluded with King Rex, which was vividly shown last time against the Cyclops tribe. It seems that King Rex wanted to use two other knight orders to restrain himself this time. , but after the last battle, his reputation within the Blood Eagle Knights is also extremely high, and he will never let the wishful thinking of the past come true.

But the most troublesome thing is that if he is not the highest-level leader on the front line, it will be difficult for him to let Sandro come to the barracks in a grand manner, and it is also difficult for him to leave the battlefield and reach the capital of the Aluk Empire without being discovered.Neither Osmond nor Bartley would allow a necromancer to appear in their barracks, and if that happened, they would definitely be blown up.But Cecil still decided to accept the king's order. After all, the king's order is also reasonable on the face of it. The Grand Knight of Osmond has a very high status and prestige in the kingdom, which is far higher than that of the newly promoted earl. He has a lot of seniority, and it is logical for him to be the coach of this event. There is nothing wrong with the king's arrangement on the surface.

Cecil immediately knelt down on one knee: "Then please rest assured, Your Majesty the King, Grand Knight Bartley and I will cooperate with Grand Knight Osmond to maintain the eastern front, and ensure that the overall strategy of His Majesty the King can be successfully achieved. success."

Seeing Cecil's obedience on one knee, King Rex nodded in satisfaction: "I know you won't let me down, Grand Knight Osmond is only the commander in name, in reality Only you are my confidant in the world, and my appointment is just to make those old stubborn people have no excuses. You know, in my position, it seems to be superior, but there are also many problems to deal with. Various aspects of the relationship The balance must be in place, otherwise, the storm of dissatisfaction caused even by me, the king, will not be able to bear it, especially if my current rights are not stable. As long as my royal power can be stabilized, I promise you that I will never let you be subdued by those people again. Under the old stuff."

Cecil knew that the king was good at playing both sides, and these words were just words of comfort to himself.If his royal power is really consolidated, I'm afraid he will be the first to deal with it.From the look in his eyes, Cecil already knew that his mistake during this period was that he was too sharp and didn't know how to hide his weakness. It seemed that he had made a big mistake.I thought I wanted to show my talents and loyalty as much as possible in front of the king, so that the king would appreciate and appoint me more.In fact, his own strength has created a kind of pressure on the king invisibly, and his own strength has posed a certain threat to his royal power. Therefore, the king is now mainly on prevention for himself, and appointment is no longer This was the main aspect, which made Cecil feel a little upset, as if he was troubled by one troublesome thing after another, and it was endless to deal with.

Cecil stood up, bowed to the king, and led Anne out of the palace.Declaring war on the Eluk Empire is not a trivial matter, it must be a stone that stirs up waves, and the development of things may not be as smooth as King Rex imagined.Once the war started, the Eluk Empire didn't know what kind of reaction it would make, and the other kingdoms didn't know whether they would take advantage of the fire. The position of the king of X is likely to change hands. The king is tantamount to betting his political life in this battle.

Cecil took Anne back to Raeira City, and Corian and others came out to welcome Cecil and his party grandly. Cecil couldn't help but feel extremely happy when he saw the increasingly prosperous city, but thinking of the coming I can't help but feel a little sad in my heart.His own fief, Samara Province, is located on the northern border of the empire, bordering on the Eluk Empire and the Orc Empire at the same time. It can be said that business and trade in peacetime can be said to be a place where the logistics of the four parties gather, and it is easy to prosper, but once a war breaks out, then It is the battlefield, an absolute cannon fodder territory. Once the war breaks out, the trade with the Eluk Empire will inevitably be decided, and the trade with the Orc Empire may also be greatly affected. Thinking of these, Cecil couldn't help but sigh.

After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Cecil immediately held a meeting. The scope of this meeting was relatively small, but it was very important, so Cecil specially invited the Bartley Grand Knight from the Blood Eagle Knights.It was the first time for Annie to participate in this kind of meeting. The Bartlett knight really didn't understand why a little girl was allowed to participate in this kind of meeting. Anyone who has experienced the battle of Llandano Snow Peak knows how powerful Anne is.Therefore, it is very desirable for her to attend the meeting as a non-voting delegate.Cecil didn't want Annie to be involved in this war. He didn't come back after looking for Annie to find a thug, but Annie herself was very concerned about this matter. Annie, like him, also saw that Ray King X's attitude towards Cecil is not that good, knowing that his lover's situation is not good, so he wants to see if he can help as much as possible.
