Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 249 What happened ten years ago

Time came to Salkonan ten years ago.

The winter in Suolkonan was not very cold, the heavy mountains blocked the cold air from the north, but that year, it unexpectedly snowed one after another, dyeing the capital into a vast expanse of white.

It was a very ordinary swordsmanship competition organized by the legion, in order to give those legion soldiers who had been "sharpened" outside and returned to the center a chance to "show themselves".Of course, many of them are the noble children of the capital, and they want to use such a stage to show their parents how hard they work outside.

But in fact, their so-called efforts were almost "all water". At that time, La Rochelle was undergoing a large-scale military expansion, but this military expansion was not agreed by the nobles behind the officers in charge of the legion-this meant that there was a large sum of money. The money has to be taken out of their pockets and used as military expenses.

Under such a premise, so many legions are of course well-trained, but a large part of it is because the nobles are unwilling to contribute, so they are completely fishing in troubled waters. The equipment and food are poor, and the training is naturally not serious.

They didn't care whether the ugly performance of the soldiers would irritate His Majesty in the swordsmanship competition held under the eyes of the king. After all, there were always a few excellent seedlings, and their bright eyes could overshadow most of the clumsy ones.

But there happened to be an uninvited guest who shattered the dreams of the nobles.

The 29-year-old eldest daughter of the Christine family, Jane Christine, returned to Salkonan on a snowy night after six years of adventure.

She participated in the swordsmanship competition, and crushed all the noble children and the swordsmanship masters of the legion with a strong posture. Robin Pulan is a leader in swordsmanship, but he is not her one-stroke enemy.

She took away the crown of the swordsmanship competition, and the legions swallowed their anger. After all, everyone knew that Jane Christine was a swordsmanship monster, and there were few people who could compete with her.

But what she said afterwards aroused the anger of the legion and nobles in the capital at that time——

"I, La Rochelle, actually only have some flamboyant wine bags and rice bags?"

This sentence spread all over Salkonan overnight.

Some people regard Christine as a thorn in the side, and naturally some people fanatically regard him as a leader.And three days later, another heavy news released by Jane Christine ignited the entire Solkonan:

"She wants to create a real Iron-Blooded Master!"

"Is this the Silver Blade Knights?" Cyril asked.

Robin Pulan leaned back on the back of the chair, and said with nostalgia: "If I hadn't lost to her in the swordsmanship competition, maybe I would also be a member of that knight order at this time."

"Did a lot of people respond to her?"

"Of course, there are a lot of them. There are many rebellious children from noble families who can't stand the family's behavior choose to follow her, and the family members can't stop them. Even when the nobles confront her face to face, she draws their swords and stares at her." I was scared back—haha, the funniest thing is that there are still many nobles who refused to accept her and thought that she could not do it, so they joined her team to make trouble."

"As a result, within a few months, everyone became submissive and would only call Captain Christine number one in the world."

As Robin spoke, he straightened up again: "Among them, that person's younger brother is also included."

Cyril announced the name he had heard from the Minister of War: "Bernie Ruskin?"

Robin nodded slightly: "The lord said that this sword was cut for his younger brother, but after that, maybe, I mean maybe, he will stare at you—"

"Staring at me?" Cyril was taken aback. It would be fine if Darrow Raskin was targeting something related to Jane Christine's "Knights of the Silver Blade", but if he targeted own -

What is he for?Is it because he belongs to the Silver Blade Knights, or because he thinks he is the descendant of Jane Christine and wants to vent his anger?No matter from which point of view, it is too unreasonable.

"That lord is notorious for holding grudges. Although I don't know why he targeted you like this, I hope you understand this." Robin drank the last bit of wine in his glass, stood up, and waved at Evans. Beckoning, and then said to Cyril:

"I have a good impression of you. If I have the chance, I hope to see you on the battlefield."

He bowed slightly to Cyril, then took Evans and walked away.

Only the poor half-elf boy was left rubbing his hair, thinking hard.

--------

It was an unexpectedly busy day, a duel in the morning, an appointment by Robin in the afternoon, and before returning to the Magic Plain, Heloise approached the door again and took Cyril all the way to the eldest princess' residence.

Anastasia was still the same as before, and she didn't care about the etiquette of the upper and lower positions. Seeing Cyril push the door in, she jumped off the long table with bare feet, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Adrian, Congratulations on your victory in the duel, you will get a fief in Amathir and a title."

"Your Highness, I am very grateful for your promotion." Cyril bowed, but Anastasia had already turned around, grabbed a few pieces of parchment from the table, and handed it to Cyril: "The matter of the title Let’s talk about it later, you look at this first.”

Cyril took the parchment suspiciously, glanced at it, and then froze in place as if struck by lightning, and couldn't help but shouted:
"Your Majesty, he wants to conquer in person? Go to the north? Who thought of it?"

"The point is not here, read on—"

Anastasia pointed down, and Cyril followed and read in a low voice:
"The war in the northern border of the Kingdom of Palannia is a threat. It intends to obtain part of La Rochelle's interests in the Hedobel Black Forest area, and wants to obtain part of the legal claim..."

A map of the territory of La Rochelle emerged in his mind: Amasir in the east is connected to the mountains and forests, and it is a continuous north-south direction to the north. The kingdom of Palannia in the north is on the same level.The proud Griffon Legion of the Kingdom of Palannia came from the Griffon Cliff in the Serene Mountains.

"If we give them a legal claim to that area according to their conditions, when they open up the Black Forest, they will certainly not be limited to the agreed area, but will extend their hands to the more southern part, that is...Ama Seale."

Cyril's face turned cold. He never expected that things would change like this—in the game, there was no Kelsen Herman driving himself to the northern border and negotiating with the Kingdom of Palannia.

Is it because of the butterfly effect brought by me, or is it simply the extension of the world line in different directions?
He took a deep breath: "If this is the case, it is actually acceptable. If they want to open up the Black Forest, the first thing they have to pass is the natural race living in the Black Forest."

"That's the case." Anastasia did not deny it, but her next sentence made Cyril fall into the abyss again:

"According to the results of the discussion, your fief will be in the northeast of Amasir."

She looked deeply at the stunned half-elf boy, and said softly:

"If Palania extends to the south, the first to bear the brunt is your fiefdom."
