Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 326 Cooperation
"Miss Caroline, Miss Caroline!"

Rod Sergey hurried up the city wall, and saw the girl standing on the arrow tower, standing on tiptoe, looking out of the city.

Rhodes let out a long breath.

It was the fifth day since the lord left for the forest.For five days, Caroline ran toward the city wall every day, toward the direction of the Elgin Forest, squatting for most of the day.

Hearing Rhode's shout, Caroline turned her head with a serious face, raised her index finger, and made a "shh" gesture to him:

"Hush! Rhodes, didn't you see that I was waiting for Cyril to come back? If I missed it... Ah!"

As Caroline was talking, she suddenly cried out, and then ran down the city wall with her skirts in both hands. Although she was not tall, she ran so fast that Rhodes couldn't catch up.

"Is it because you usually eat so much roasted rabbits? Running so fast?" Rhodes groaned, and chased Caroline down the city wall, only to see the little girl standing at the gate of the city, bouncing and waving her hands, "Cyril! Cyril you!"

The lord is back?
They knew that the troubles in the Elgin Grove were settled.In the city lord's mansion yesterday, the man named "Atzke" came to the tavern and told them that the trouble in the Elgin Forest had been resolved, and that Cyril would return in a few days.

But...Miss Caroline, how did she detect the lord's return before she did?

Rhode looked far away, but he didn't see where Cyril was.After waiting for a while, they heard a rush of horseshoes, and the figures of the three also appeared in their sight.

The leading horse accelerated first and galloped forward. The knight on the horse floated down, grabbed Caroline by the back of the neck, and lifted her up:

"Caroline, you let the dog play secretly again!"

However, the tone of fake murderousness only lasted for a moment, and then Caroline was held up under the armpit and held high. In this posture, Caroline was able to look down at the young knight from top to bottom. handsome face.

Giggling lightly, she reached out her hands to grab the knight's long pointed ears.The two riders behind were slow and stopped behind, and the riders on the horses smiled and looked at the scene in front of them.

This group of people is naturally Cyril, Elena and Misha.

When Caroline was not by his side, Cyril didn't feel much, but the moment he saw the girl again, Cyril felt a strong sense of familiarity, and even made his spirit a little happier.

But don't forget, Caroline is the first person he saw after he came to this world, and also the person who stayed with him the longest. This kind of intimacy is even somewhat similar to "mother" - although Caroline and "Young mother" just doesn't hook up.

After putting Caroline down, Cyril nodded to Rhodes and said, "Thank you, Rhodes."

"My lord, is everything going well?"

And Cyril smiled and said: "I think, we should be able to start training troops right away."

The group slowly returned to the city. Before they entered the city for a long time, a guard hurried over on the road. It was the guard that Cyril and the others saw when they entered Siliki for the first time.

"The lord... No, the Baron is here to invite you."

"Go back to the tavern first, pack your luggage, and prepare to change places."

Cyril said to several people, and then followed the guard into the lord's office hall.

The familiar second floor, the familiar meeting room, the familiar Atzke and Gene O'Connor, only this time when Cyril walked into the meeting room, the two looked at each other, then stood up and bowed.

"Lord Earl." Gene took a deep breath, facing the young man who walked into the room Shi Shiran, feeling a little complicated in his heart.

Thinking of his vows when he marched into the Elgin Jungle before, it turned out that he had to rely on this young man to save his life and solve this matter.And now I want to give up this "territory" -

Although it was something that had been promised long ago, and Cyril had already made a certain promise, but when it was time for the handover, I always felt a little awkward.

"Mr. O'Connor." Cyril nodded, then sat on the upper hand position already reserved for him, and then said with a relaxed face:
"Before I start the topic, I want to know, is your relationship with your family really so rigid?"

"Ah?" Gene was taken aback, he didn't expect that Cyril would ask such a question, he gritted his teeth, nodded unwillingly and said: "This is true, if it wasn't so, I wouldn't have been driven to this poor... ...this territory."

Cyril nodded slowly, his straight figure made his movement look full of elegance: "Then there are no other problems."

"According to the laws of the kingdom, I am granted the title of Earl of Siliki. Siliki is my territory, and Yevwind and Somi will be included in my territory in the future. I think this is what you planned to do before."

Gene nodded. Thinking of this, he felt a little pity——as Cyril said, he has already laid a lot of foundations for the alliance of the three cities. As long as he can solve the problems in the forest, the alliance of the three cities will become It was done overnight.

This was the reliance on which he was able to counterattack the central part of Amasir.

And Cyril continued:

"The Duke of O'Connor is almost the dominant family in the Amasir area. In the past, such stability is naturally the best for the royal capital. It is not like the nobles in the south who make troubles and seek more benefits at every turn. .”

"But at this point in time, it's not like usual."

Cyril looked at the two quietly, making sure that the other party understood everything he said:

"The invasion of the undead from the north will reduce La Rochelle's national power, and with the decline in the north and the lack of troop deployment in the center, Ao San Emma will definitely not miss this opportunity..."

"Guess, do they want to take the opportunity to attack Amasir?"

His words made Baron Jean sit up straighter, while Atzke had already begun to write and draw on the paper, drawing out the topographical map of Amasir with just a few strokes.

"The kingdom needs a safe east, but at this time, it needs an east that can help. At this point in time, let me come to Siliki and grant me the title of earl. I think you should understand that Solkonan What is the intention."

He tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and continued:

"I can't promise you in the short term, but it could be as short as one year, or as long as three years. Amathir needs to change to a 'master'. When the time comes, it will be like what I told you in the plain."

Cyril stretched out a hand towards Baron Jean:

"You take the seat of Earl Moragul."

I’ve said this before, but then was then, this time is now——

At that time, Cyril only had a blank promise, but at this time, he already had a guarantee of strength.

Without any hesitation this time, Jin stretched out his hand and shook that beautiful hand that didn't look like a warrior.

And Cyril smiled slightly:
"Pleasant to work with."
