Dear Broom Knight

Valera sneered, "Having the qualifications to leave early is also important, Great Knight Ortis.

You should get more used to the outside world."

The benefits of the Montes family ruling the Northern Territory for so many years have completely disappeared.

Although Leon seems to have only been here for twenty years, he has truly done his best.

He has erased the marks of the Montes family from top to bottom in all aspects.

Now, when people mention the Montes family, they will still respect them because of the past, and they will also feel that this family deserves to be treated well, but they will not be as daunted as they used to be when they mentioned this family.

At least, they will start discussing the gains and losses of this family and ponder how to get along with this family.

The Montes family probably hasn't clearly felt the difference between the master of the Northern Territory and one of the three strongest nobles in the Northern Territory.

Well, it's good, enjoy it slowly in the future!

Valera knew that Ortis was a respectable warrior, and she was indeed willing to be a little friendly, but that was all.

Ortis sighed, but he quickly cheered up: "It's okay, there won't be many opportunities for me to come forward in the future.

Earl Ezra will definitely live longer than me."

Valera glanced at him: "We haven't even left the Earl's castle yet!"

She really didn't expect that she would walk into and out of such a formal banquet!

Even the Baron, who hates trouble the most, wouldn't bother guests like this.

Didn't Earl Ezra bring a lot of carriages?

And there are so many servants who can drive the carriages!

Why doesn't he even provide the simplest open-top carriage for welcoming and sending off guests!

If she didn't know that he was a level 16 Great Knight, Valera would really suspect that Ezra had been locked up.

——

"Let me out! Bowen! Bowen Holmes! Let me out!"

Great Knight Ezra let out an angry roar from the underground warehouse deep in the castle.

"Earl, that's impossible." Chubby Bowen sat on a high-legged chair by the door, a metal plate full of food and drinks floating beside him.

Bowen Holmes grabbed a chicken wing and happily gnawed on it while answering vaguely.

"What are you doing? Eating?" Ezra felt that something was wrong, and his anger grew even stronger, "You wait for me, Bowen Holmes, when I get out, I'll kick you like a ball!"

"Since you said so... then I might as well keep you locked up for a while longer." Bowen didn't care about his boss's anger at all.

He threw down the gnawed-clean chicken bones and sneered, patting the solid door that even Ezra couldn't break: "Why have we fallen to this point?

Ah~ Respected Lord Ezra~ Why! Tell me!"

Ezra closed his mouth.

"I never thought in my life that someone could be so stupid... crazy enough to make a life oath!" Bowen's round, chubby face twisted into bun-like folds, "Before you went to the palace, what did I tell you?

All the responses that so many staff members painstakingly summarized... how did you lose them?

Did you eat them and poop them out?

If you hadn't let the truth slip this time and I hadn't heard it,

We, we would have become the biggest joke in the world!

Because a certain Great Knight was so angry that he forgot that he had sworn an oath with the king that he would never attack any family in the first year... and then was struck by lightning and died directly before the inauguration ceremony.

What if someone accidentally got provoked and caused trouble, which would ruin the entire Knights!

The underground hall was filled with a gloomy atmosphere.

Ezra, who was locked in the small room, slowly calmed down and suddenly asked curiously: "What was this room used for before?"

"Yuri's practice room, his level is high, and the scrolls he transcribes are naturally of a high level. If he accidentally blows them up, people will die.

This room can accommodate the release of six-ring spells!

It's even better to talk about the knight's attack. You can train well in it. Yuri said that Leon often uses it, and safety is absolutely guaranteed."

Among the knights standing opposite Bowen, several quick-witted ones couldn't help but look up at him... Isn't this implying that Lord Ezra can vent his strength by hitting the wall!

Yuri's words were also obviously sarcastic.

Sure enough, the profession of scholar is insidious enough.

The reason why Travis wanted Ezra to take over the Hamilton earldom was also related to the fact that his chief staff member was also a great scholar who mainly transcribed spells.

With Bowen present, the basic magic facilities built by Yuri using the skills of a scholar can be fully utilized.

And those magic arrays that can assist in managing logistics and transportation are also supported by the calculation ability of scholars.

Although Ezra was blinded by the position of deputy commander, so that Travis finally caught his weakness and suffered a big loss, he naturally has his advantages in being able to survive to this position in the military when the royal family is unwilling to let royal members continue to rise to high positions.

Before entering the royal army, Ezra was very clear about his strengths and weaknesses.

As a member of the royal family, who can be regarded as a close relative of His Majesty the King, no one would dare to steal the military exploits and achievements he had made.

Although the military basically maintained cleanliness, it was not completely without loopholes to exploit.

For example, the period of time when the number of enemies killed was counted before the end of the battlefield, especially in areas not covered by the national magic array.

For example, the area in the Northern Territory that once belonged to the Icefield Kingdom.

The military exploits in this area need to be calculated with the help of manpower.

Although it won't be completely robbed of credit, someone will definitely be able to steal a part, or even most of it.

But this kind of thing will definitely not happen to Ezra, he has enough ability to overturn everything, and even drag those people into a vow confrontation.

That would really be struck by lightning and killed!

Who dares?

The advantages are very good, but the weaknesses are not small either.

If the commander comes from the royal family and a deputy commander is inclined to the royal family, the military will inevitably be unwilling to let him climb to the highest position.

The military is not just the will of the commander... it is actually the common will of the commanders of the major border armies and the internal royal army.

Without communication, these people will tacitly suppress people like Ezra from such backgrounds.

But this can't be regarded as suppression, it's just that it will be very fair.

When the scores are similar, Ezra's opponent may have one or two more points standing on top of him.

He must do everything more perfectly than anyone else to get a better evaluation.

But if it weren't for the position of commander, why would a royal knight like Ezra, who can reach the pinnacle of his career, suffer so many years of crime in the army?

Abandoning his innate status and honor, and competing with knights from ordinary backgrounds, and even losing... it sounds simple, but even some children of great nobles can't bear that kind of gap.

Therefore, Ezra simply formed a staff team composed of scholars for himself.

Bowen is more like the head of this staff team than his confidant... Of course, just like Yuri is Leon's childhood playmate and follower, Bowen is also Ezra's.

Even this suggestion was made by Bowen.

Bowen didn't think he was worse than others, but he was more clear that a scholar like him, who was born rich and only had a belly full of knowledge and petty cleverness, could not possibly understand everything on the battlefield as soon as he came into contact with it.

They need staff who understand the army and war better.

However, Bowen understood even more that it was a very risky thing to put people who were not like them, who had grown up together since childhood and had a high degree of trust in each other, in a position where they could make decisions.

The tests and repetitions in this process are enough to make all their preparations instantly disappear.

Therefore, he simply created a staff team.

Although the salary and benefits are very expensive, Ezra's royal allowance can still cover this part of the consumption.

As for the two of them, they are both in the army, and they don't need to dress up every year, so they can live on the subsidies from the army.

In the end, things did go as they thought.

Problems will definitely arise among the staff from time to time, but as long as not everyone has problems, Ezra can still bear the losses caused.

Moreover, someone's proven schemes will be much less lethal.

By the time Ezra reached his current height, the staff had actually stabilized, and basically all of them could be considered useful.

Even if Travis's spies were mixed in, Ezra and Bowen didn't care much.

Their goals have nothing to do with those broken things in the royal family.

If Ezra hadn't suddenly lost his mind.

The more Bowen thought about it, the angrier he became, and he threw a chicken bone at the door behind him: "I'll let you out tomorrow morning!

Take care of yourself, don't go out with a stubble."

Ezra was stunned: "What? What do you mean? Bowen, I brought maids! Are you not planning to let them come down?"

"Watson's problem is very big." Bowen's tone was very cold, "The knights and their attendants have been left underground by me, and only the maids and the staff team are left above for the time being.

The scholars' task is naturally to control the various magic arrays in the castle.

And those adults from the Watson family actually hid in the castle!

Only a few young people with low levels have been caught.

My Earl, you should understand the danger here!"

Ezra couldn't answer for a while, and then he quickly changed the subject: "Do so many people need to control the magic array? Yuri used to do it alone..."

"That guy Yuri's scholar level should have exceeded level 14 a long time ago." Bowen sneered, "You don't have that luck, your old Bowen, level 12 is achieved by risking his life."
