Chapter 463: The Thoughts of the Nobles
This was the internal conflict between the nobles of the North County. It was a non-fatal conflict that could be mediated. In fact, the two sides of the conflict could even use the interests of each other as the core to establish a mutual aid group that symbolized friendship.
The rules of the noble were originally so absurd and ridiculous, but it could also form such an ending that was close to a joke.
Thus, this scene appeared.
Being a resident from the Continent of Caradia, Firentis was more used to speaking with swords and force. He was shocked to find that the noble alliance army had collapsed on their own and had actually chosen to submit!
Of course, according to what they said, it was considered as offering their loyalty to the new king.
As for who the new king was?
It obviously the Supreme Lord Kant!
Firentis had already thought that his lord, who was also the second son of Cameron, the Grand Duke of Leo, had the second-in-line right to inherit the dukedom. He was a member of the royal family of the dukedom, not a simple noble!
Therefore, Firentis received these envoys and promised a peaceful proposal.
It was very simple for him.
Moreover, he could even keep these noble as cannon fodder.
In Firentis had also listened these nobles’ words. That was to help Kant, the supreme lord, walk towards absolute glory. For example, Kant would first ascend as king in the Dukedom of Leo, the most important land of grain production among the human kingdoms, and then seek for more estate!
It had to be said that after Firentis and Rolf stayed for a long time, their personalities had also changed.
After all, this was the real world.
The NPCs in the game were all template-like personalities.
However, it was different here. The generals could learn from each other and change imperceptibly.
It was the same logic that said, “If you live with a lame person you will learn to limp.” However, at the very least, their loyalty to Kant would not change. They would only change their personalities. Perhaps because of their loyalty to Kant, their personalities would become extreme!
Soon, the envoys returned to the noble alliance army.
This caused a wave of cheers.
However, at the very least, their defenses had not been removed.
These noble families were also worried. After all, both sides were still fighting to the death earlier. They were still invaders. It was impossible for them to give up their defenses just like that and hand over their lives to the previous enemies.
In order to express his willingness to reconcile, Viscount Wayne personally led the team to the outer side of the formation.
The envoy was the first stage of the communication.
Next, the communication between the noble families was the most important.
Firentis also understood this. He brought 50 Royal Knights over.
The conversation between the two sides was still very pleasant. The key was that after the peace treaty was confirmed, these noble families all chose to be loyal to Kant. They also swore under the name of the god of war, and everyone would be the witnesses.
Noble families still cared about their face. Even though there was no difference between breaking faith and breaking paper, they still had their own rules.
The consequences of breaking the treaty without permission were serious.
Except for absolute benefits.
No one wanted to be stabbed in the back by their ally at the most critical moment!
In other words, if it was necessary to stab their ally in the back, it was definitely a time when benefits could not be refused. If it could be exchanged for more benefits, so what if they did it?
One’s own interests were everything. The interests of others did not matter at all.
The noble were all extreme egoists.
It was just that they had put on a decent disguise.
Soon, Rolf, who had led his troops back from the plain, also noticed the abnormality in this place.
Over a thousand elite desert bandits spread out and surrounded these noble alliance army in small groups. He personally came to the vicinity of the camp where Firentis was. He looked surprised
He had also noticed the noble families in the camp who were smiling and talking to each other.
They were very happy.
They didn’t look like they were fighting at all!
Meanwhile, Firentis was also greeting him. “Rolf, this is Viscount Wayne and the other barons and lords. Let’s get to know each other. From now on, we will be working under Lord Kant!”
“Huh?” Rolf had a ferocious smile on his face. “Viscount Wayne and the other barons and lords?”
“That’s right.” Viscount Wayne nodded in a very dignified manner.
He stood up and did not care about his status. “Mr. Rolf, the light cavalries that you are leading are really heroic. It made us think that you are probably the strongest general of the light cavalry in the Dukedom of Leo.” He even placed his hand on his chest, he bowed slightly. “If it’s possible, please allow me to pay my respects to you and your light cavalry unit.”
“Yes, we all pay our respects to your valor!” the other baron-lords also placed their hands on their chests. Their attitude was so humble that it made the noble’s dignity and modesty look exquisite.
“Oh?”
However, Rolf bared his teeth and smiled. “That’s such an honor.”
He looked at Firentis, who did not usually get along with him nodded to him. After a few guesses, Rolf quickly understood the whole situation. “Since we are all going to work under Lord Kant in the future, then please take care of us!” He smiled and said, “However, I think we should carry out Lord Kant’s new plan now!”
“What?” Wayne and the other nobles looked up at him in puzzlement.
“Attack the South County!”
Rolf’s voice became heavier, “I think we can launch a surprise attack before the South County realizes what’s going on. Maybe we can get the reward we deserve!”
“Ah? Is this… an attack on the South County?” the faces of the nobles changed.
“Can we reconsider it?”
Viscount Wayne looked worried.
They were not prepared to really attack the South County. The so-called excuse before was mostly for the ordinary people to hear. Although they had already gave unrealistic statement, they still wanted to give themselves a way out.
Were they really going to follow Baron Kant?
Stop joking!
Even if Kant was a member of the royal family, he was just a baron!
All of them were barons themselves. There were even real lords who had their own territory and troops. Even the knights had fief villages. It was impossible for them to simply rely on a noble.
Therefore, while they agreed verbally, they already had other idea in their hearts.
When they returned, they would observe again.
They would pretend that nothing had happened!
If Baron Kant’s army was really powerful, then it did not matter. They had already pledged allegiance to him today. They could be considered as one of their own people. It would be great if they could rely on Baron Kant.
If the South County expressed their dissatisfaction or did not acknowledge Baron Kant’s indirect control of the North County and formed an invincible army, then they would pledge allegiance to the royal family that had come to the South County. After all, they were originally nobles conferred by the royal family, most of them were members of the noble family who lived in this system. They were naturally friendly.
In any case, it was a civil war. The nobles had thought well. They just needed to learn how to skillfully form a battle team.
