Alien Knights

.

After seeing Tristan off, Todd found Cumberland and Alfonso and showed them the official documents of the church.

After reading the official document several times from beginning to end, Cumberland and Alfonso looked at each other. The former cleared his throat and asked Todd first: "My lord, about the tasks assigned by the church, What do you think"

Todd touched the bridge of his nose with his finger, and said helplessly: "How do you think that the church has developed this document, which means that they have made up their minds to pull the Musi Knights into the Eastern War. But from the other side. Look, the coalition of Silver Ring City and the barbarians must have put a lot of pressure on the church."

Cumberland asked again: "Do you think we should send troops?"

Todd nodded: "Sending troops may be a helpless choice. The legitimacy of Muxi Town and the Knights is based on the recognition of the church. If you do not send troops or respond negatively, it will inevitably arouse resentment from the church, which will be a follow-up to us. Development is not good."

When Cumberland heard this, he gave the speaker a meaningful look.

Alfonso held his helmet in his hand and thought for a while and said: "The North Quarry is the largest source of income in the Kingdom of Silver Ring. The income from the production of silver ore accounts for 70% of the kingdom’s fiscal revenue. The number of defenders and fortifications look at the entire kingdom, and its defensive strength is second only to the main city of the Silver Ring. Besides these defenders, we also need to consider another army that may appear-the barbarians. For such an important stronghold, Silver Ring City will definitely ask the barbarian army to assist in the defense."

Cumberland suddenly said something that had nothing to do with the meeting: "I heard that the upper echelons of the church have heard about the recruitment of alien species as soldiers by the Twilight Knights and the use of explosives."

Todd was taken aback, and quickly asked: "Where does this news come from?"

"Knight Dion, he has a lot of friends among the secular nobles in the Papal Kingdom..." Cumberland adjusted his posture, looked at Todd and said, "Actually, the church knows these secrets of the Knights of Mussy, but it is Sooner or later."

Todd put his gaze on the official document, and slowly nodded: "It seems that the church asked the Knights of Muxi to attack the North Stone Mine this time, deliberately asking us to touch the nail..."

Alfonso hit his thigh with his fist, and said in a deep voice, "Then we will give up on the North Quarry on the excuse of insufficient troops!"

Todd leaned his body back on the back of his chair with a solemn expression: "You can't do this. Although we have signed a peace agreement with the North Island tribe, this agreement is not reliable, and the pirates may turn their backs at any time. Moreover, There are still many enemies around Muxi Town. At this time, it is not a wise move to engage with the church forces."

Cumberland stroked the silver beard on his chin: "The mission assigned by the church is actually more like a test."

"Test" Todd was puzzled.

"Test the attitude of the Twisie Knights towards the church." Cumberland looked at the "Umbrella" banner on the wall of the chief commander's room, and started to explain to Todd in a whisper: "The establishment of the Twisie Knights is in line with the other three. The Grand Church Knights are different. From the time point of view, the other Church Knights took three years from planning to the actual establishment, and the longer ones even more than nine years. However, the Twilight Knights only took half a year. I won the sacred edict before that."

"From the point of view of purpose, other church knights were established to deal with infidel aggression and to deter secular kingship. While the establishment of the Musi Knights, the church appears to be to obtain the formula of crystal relics, but the real intention is In order to use Muxi Town to attract the attention of the enemy, Master Chief, think about it, without sending any reinforcements, the church requires Muxi Town to deal with the three forces of Silver Ring City, Pirates, and Barbarians at the same time. It is dealing with the Musi Knights as abandoned sons."

Cumberland paused for a moment when he said that, watching Todd continue to say: "The last is the personnel composition. Most of the high-levels of the other knights are pious nobles, or clergy of the church. And the West Knights, the general commander Originally an ascetic monk in the monastery, most of the soldiers were deserters from Silver Ring. In addition to the gunpowder used by the southern pagans, and the alien species defined as the "devil's posthumous child", for such an "unreasonable" knight Group, how can the church rest assured to let it grow"

Todd listened to Cumberland's analysis, widened his eyes, and looked at him in surprise.

The old man saw the other person's expression and waved his hands and said, "These are not all I said. Most of them were sorted out by my old boss and friend, Earl Emerson."

Todd suddenly became interested: "Then I want to see him where Lord Earl is now."

Hearing the inquiry, Cumberland shrugged: "The old tortoise has lived in Muxi Town for a while, and then returned to Silver Ring City. I have repeatedly persuaded him to stay. The answer is always one sentence, the royal family has If you leave this kingdom and leave, his heart will never forgive himself."

Todd gave a long sigh and abandoned the topic.

The three discussed together for a while, and finally decided to enter the North Quarry.

Alfonso is responsible for selecting suitable candidates from among the refugees, training them and joining the army. Cumberland is responsible for the preparation of the troops and the formulation of tactics.

Watching Alfonso leave the room first, Cumberland slowed down. Todd knew that the latter had something to say to himself, so he approached him.

The old knight lowered the volume: "Commander, what do you think about the official document and the church allowing you to establish a secular kingdom"

Todd glanced at the old man: "I personally think that this is the church's preparation for the future political situation. If the Knights of Muxi really lay down the North Quarry, UU Reading www.uukahnshu.com and established it. Knights. In the near future, if the alliance of Silver Ring and the barbarians retreat, the church can provoke battles between the secular kingdoms to restrict our development..."

Cumberland leaned on his side and whispered: "Commander, you should know that this is not what I want to ask. Regarding the secular kingdom, what I want to know is what "you" think"

Todd's heart tensed, and he understood the profound meaning of Cumberland's words. He stopped and stared at the old man's eyes, but there was no hint or attempt in the other's eyes.

After a few seconds, the head of the team gave up and said softly: "It is meaningless to talk about the future now. Wait, wait until the day when everything happens, you and I will naturally know what the answer is."

Cumberland turned his head back, and smiled as if he was self-explaining: "Head of the team, you are right. Who can guess the future?"

The old man walked to the door of the headquarters of the Knights, and his figure finally disappeared in the sun. () "Alien Knights" only represents the author's point of view.
