Chapter 1924 The Knight’s Promise
Lancelot was shocked.
When he saw the huge tauren fall, he couldn't believe his eyes at all.
At the same time, his instinct as a noble knight awakened in him.
As long as you master this power, you can become a king!
Yes, for feudal lords, allegiance was never taken for granted.
Only when the king fulfills his obligations will they show their loyalty.
Unconditional loyalty is given by slaves to their slave masters, because the slave master’s kindness allows the slaves to survive.
Feudal lords were not like this. They provided the king with force, and the king gave them fiefs and privileges in return.
Lancelot was undoubtedly loyal in the past. He came to the battlefield for the king and tried his best to organize cowardly soldiers, cunning villagers, and treacherous vendors... and thwarted many attacks by demons.
But now, he doesn't want to be loyal.
With such a powerful tauren, even the royal capital cannot resist it, and can only choose extreme means to lure it away.
He can take these soldiers back and besiege the royal capital.
Thinking of this, he had a sincere smile on his face.
“Warriors, you have saved mankind, you are worthy of God’s favor!”
"Today, we eat mutton! Real mutton!"
As he said this, he ordered two hundred people to go to the village where Master Bowler died and collect sheep, chickens and ducks, as well as milk, honey and wine.
Fortunately, he is a man with a fiefdom and knows how valuable cattle are. One cow is equivalent to the labor of six adults, so he did not shout silly things like eating beef.
“Great.”
“Long live the Knight’s Court!”
The soldiers were very happy.
Have you ever eaten real meat in a while?
It may not be more than a month. When I come there next month, the malicious knight will give the newlyweds a meal of meat.
Now that I think about it, this is the kindness of the knight. I have to eat better when I am decapitated.
Some masters think that way, everyone has to eat, why waste expensive meat, just give some white bread, at least put stones, wood chips still need to be put.
In the evening, the soldiers sang and danced, ate meat, and drank milk. They felt that life had never been so good.
"It would be better if there was a noble eldest sister!" A soldier shouted boldly.
"Go to the capital! Warriors, they destroyed a demon king. You should be made knights!" Lancelot encouraged without taking the opportunity.
"Yes, you should be made a knight!" The soldiers became excited.
Master Knight!
From now on, when I work hard outside the fields, I can even lift my head. I have to kneel on the muddy ground and kowtow directly to the master.
Whoever dares to look directly will test the kindness of the knight.
In special circumstances, the knight will kill the farmer who offends him, but the agricultural officer will make the farmer who is open-minded have to work harder in the coming year.
And now, we have no chance to become a lowly knight!
The most important thing is that it is an empty promise from the king.
Now that I don't have the power of a card player, if I become a knight, I can enjoy it until I die of old age. Instead, I will die on the battlefield and be reclaimed by the king.
Go to the royal capital!
Ask for the title of knight!
Those two sentences of his easily hit the minds of the soldiers before the battle.
Lancelot is definitely a master at controlling people's hearts, and he does what he can to maintain the front.
I joined him with a thousand small troops, hundreds of cooks, and dragged huge tauren, and trudged all the way.
The tauren had been dismembered and pickled with salt. It took hundreds of carts to load it. In this way, it was impossible to transport it on the broken dirt road. Relying on the body of the tauren, we were welcomed by noble gentlemen and replenished with food and grass along the way.
You guys are not stupid. A team that can fight like that must be well drawn together. If the last demonic wave breaks out outside your territory, you will have to count on us.
After so many cold-blooded years, no attendants, or even some fantasy noble second sons, have joined my team, as if I have no share of the military exploits and glory.
Lancelot refused to come.
I want to use that tauren to gain fame and the superficial support of the nobles.
I want to turn the demonic tide into me, becoming the king and creating the legal basis for the Lancelot royal family.
That works very well.
Okay, the king personally followed eight thousand elites, and gathered thousands of lords' troops from far away, blocking me behind the first hurdle after retreating to the royal capital.
"Knight Lancelot, he has completed his mission heroically. You hereby solemnly announce the king's order and canonize him as the Countess of Kentonia." A court earl came with the king's decree. I am very respectful. declared.
“You need the title of Baroness. What you need is to make the warriors in front of you knights like you. We are all people who have received divine grace just like you! "Lancelot said quietly with a dark face.
"Yes, that's it. The knight is right!" the soldier beside me said excitedly.
“You also want to become a knight!”
“That, that is possible!” The court earl said consciously, are you kidding? There are only thousands of people outside, and the king and the king are together. If we sell it, there won't be so little land to entrust us with.
Xin Xiaopenter proposed a condition that may be accepted.
"Why is it possible? Does he believe in our military exploits? Does he believe in the demon king we killed?" Lancelot pointed at the dismembered minotaur.
The palace earl had seen it a long time ago, so he was very respectful.
Even the little knight can achieve that kind of power.
Have you ever killed similar monsters in the kingdom?
"Whether you have it or not, you need to get the king's will." The court earl quickly explained.
"Slow down now. Your soldiers need to be rewarded. Bring the best meat and wine. We are the only ones who can defeat the devil!" Lancelot always forgets to compare the soldiers with himself. bundled together.
While marching, I emphasized that point repeatedly.
A very small number of soldiers accepted that.
Although we have no power, we do not understand the aristocratic game. It is still like finding a doubting person who listens to me in everything and can get through to him.
There are just a lot of clever people trying to wait for the price.
Just in the evening, those smart people quietly left the camp and met with the king's people.
The court earl slowly understood the source of our strength and was envious.
How come a group of poor ghosts, untouchables, dirty bugs, and loaches in the ditch who even know honorifics have such power?
The court earl tried his best to suppress the contempt in his heart.
That's the difference between me and Lancelot.
For the sake of the goal, for the sake of failure, the other party can regard the filth of those people and only value our useless parts.
But the court earl did what he could, and could only hypocritically say that if we surrender to the king, all of us can be made a countess.
The king can still take out the fiefdoms of a few baronesses.
Anyway, there are no means, so take it back quickly.
The inheritance of many baronesses was broken, and the fiefdoms were inherited by the king's second son and eight sons.
