King

The rushing water of the Lancang River rolled forward, and the splashing waves hit Kallis' face, extinguishing his blood.

Only after experiencing the edge of death can we realize the preciousness of life.

Originally, Kallis thought that as a devout believer, he could face life and death for his faith, but it turned out that he could not.

The mission has been messed up. Not only did they not find the Blood Moon Horn, they also revealed a huge trap.

Intercepting and killing the king's envoy was such a big deal. Now not only the Alpha Kingdom wants his life, but even the Holy See cannot tolerate him.

To this day, he doesn't know how he was exposed. He was obviously very careful. After killing the person and destroying all the clues, he immediately took the person and ran away.

In order to hide his identity, even the flying dragon mount was left dozens of miles away, and evidence of alibi was prepared. Theoretically speaking, the Alpha Kingdom should not suspect them.

Even the treatment of the wounded was carried out in a rural town two hundred miles away. Such a remote place is still a secret stronghold hidden by the Holy See, and the security should be high enough.

Under normal circumstances, even if the Alpha Kingdom noticed something, by the time they came to find them, my group would have left long ago.

Unfortunately, as soon as they settled down, a coalition of nobles came to kill them the next day, not even giving them a chance to defend themselves. Many soldiers were killed on the spot before they even had time to get on the flying dragon.

Those who stayed on the ground died miserably, and those who went to heaven did not escape. Although there are no flying dragon cavalry in the Alpha Kingdom, it does not mean that there is no way to deal with them.

The flying monsters of several big nobles and the kingdom's griffin cavalry formed a team and started chasing them.

Without any surprise, the flying dragon cavalry who entered the Alpha Kingdom were directly destroyed.

Carlisle's lucky escape was also due to the rolling water of the Lancang River. Feilong died in the battle and fell into the river and flowed down the river, allowing him to escape rounds of pursuing soldiers.

After drifting along the current, he finally woke up from his coma. After Callis calmed down, he found that he had done a series of stupid things that he thought were smart.

Evidence is only needed by the weak. For the really big shots, as long as they believe you did it, it doesn't really matter whether there is evidence or not.

Count Frodo went to the Southeast Province to deal with the Blood Moon Horn matter. An accident happened on the way, and the Holy See was the first suspect.

From the beginning, people believed that it was them who did it. With this view, they looked for clues, and the evidence they found naturally pointed to the Holy See.

Even if the flying dragon is dozens of miles away, even if evidence of alibi is arranged, all of this can be understood as contrary evidence.

No matter how remote and hidden it is, it is still someone else's territory. Maybe the stronghold he thinks is secret has been exposed to others' sight long ago.

Things have reached this point, and it is meaningless to delve deeper into the reasons.

The Holy See can no longer go back. If such a big thing happened, someone must be responsible for it.

The Alpha Kingdom couldn't wait any longer. They killed the king's envoy, and a lot of nobles wanted to take credit for his head.

"Karlis, long time no see! I didn't expect you to be so embarrassed when we meet again."

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came, startling Kallis. His intuition told him that he should know this masked person and that he was very familiar with him, but he just couldn't remember who it was.

"Who are you? When did we meet? What is the purpose of looking for me?"

After asking three questions from the soul, the masked man hesitated for a moment, then laughed loudly.

"Karlis, do you really not remember me?

When you were in the training camp, I brought you in. On that stormy night thirty years ago, a man was wandering on the street..."

Before the masked man could finish his words, Kallis quickly denied it.

"impossible!"

"You can't be him!"

"He is dead! He died in the battle to clean up heretics for the great Lord of the Morning!"

The tone was very serious, as if he believed that "he" had died in the battle. Just the hesitation on his face betrayed Kallis' true thoughts in his heart.

Thirty years ago, his family suffered a huge change. At the age of eight, he was forced to live on the streets, living a day-to-day existence. Until one stormy, hungry and cold night, a mysterious knight appeared and changed his fate.

Following the mysterious knight, Kallis entered the Holy See's knight training camp and stepped into a new world.

It's just that the rules in the Holy See are strict, and as a new quasi-knight, there's nothing he can do.

When Kallis had the ability to inquire about the mysterious knight who changed his life, he was told that the mysterious knight had died in battle.

All specific information has been sealed. Even if Kallis becomes the commander of the second regiment of the Dragon Cavalry, he is not qualified to know.

"It seems that you have remembered something, but these old things are no longer important. The key is what should you do next?

The Holy See will definitely not be able to go back. Those rotten worms are not good at doing things, but their ability to shirk responsibility is first-rate.

Although you messed up this mission, the person most responsible is not your turn. If we really dig deeper, the idiot who released the Blood Moon Horn is the culprit.

In a sense, you can actually be considered a hero. At least you didn't let the Blood Moon fall into the hands of the Alpha Kingdom.

Compared with this exact result, losing a flying dragon cavalry is nothing at all. Even if the traces are exposed, it will only bring the already bad relationship between the two parties from the audience to the stage.

But you must bear the blame for this. Who has allowed them to take root in the Holy See for generations? They are the true masters of the Holy See, while you are just a foreigner?

In fact, if someone didn't need to work hard. Those guys want to occupy all the positions in the Holy See so that they can enjoy the worship of believers for generations to come! "

The masked man's words were like needles piercing his chest, piercing Kallis' heart.

The secrets revealed are all facts, and even the real Holy See is ten times darker than this.

The clergy of the Holy See who never married and claimed to dedicate everything to the Lord of the Morning actually developed the Holy See into a hereditary and hardcore crop.

Carlisle's ability to become the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment did not come from the favor of his superiors. Although he had outstanding achievements, this was not the reason for the promotion. The real reason for the promotion was that dangerous work needed someone to do it.

Therefore, he stayed in this position for ten years. During this period, he cut through thorns and thorns for the Holy See and made countless achievements, but he still did not move a step forward.

For no other reason, the position of cannon fodder is enough, and the next step up must be one of our own.

"What's the use of saying this now? Everything about the Holy See has nothing to do with me. From now on, I am a dead person to the Holy See.

Anyway, I thank you for your kindness. If you hadn't picked me up back then, maybe Kallis would have died on that rainy night thirty years ago.

I have already earned enough to live for another thirty years. No matter when I die in the future, I will accept my fate.

There are still countless pursuers waiting for me. I'm afraid I can only remember your kindness for now. If Kallis is lucky enough to escape this disaster, he will find a way to repay your kindness in the future. "

Although he said he was resigned to his fate, his strong desire to survive was still expressed in his tone. It's just that this time the matter is too big. Facing the pursuit of a kingdom, it is really difficult to save one's life.

"Ha ha……"

"Karlis, don't be so pessimistic. The Alpha Kingdom wants to hunt down only the Karlis of the Holy See's Second Dragon Cavalry Regiment, not all Karlis.

Change your identity and you will find that the world will never be the same again. Just like that rainy night back then, if you hadn't asked for help, maybe we would have missed it! "

The masked man's words startled Kallis. After countless years of social training, he is no longer the innocent boy he used to be. He knows very well that there is no love or hate in this world for no reason.

No matter what, he killed a count of the Alpha Kingdom, and he was saddled with such a "crime". It would be unexplainable anywhere, and it would be impossible to obtain a pardon at all.

"Your Excellency, please tell me directly, what do you want me to do?

Frankly speaking, Kallis really doesn't think he has any capital to make an Alpha Kingdom let me go. "

This is a fact. Although golden knights are rare, it is the same for a kingdom.

Taking the Alpha Kingdom as an example, there are dozens of Golden Knights on the light side. It is simply impossible to recruit him as an enemy at all costs just for this small amount of combat power.

“Karlis, your vision has been limited by the Holy See, and you need to broaden your horizons.

For big shots, as long as the benefits are big enough, hatred is nothing.

Besides, there is no unforgettable hatred between you and them. This debt is mainly placed on the Holy See.

The dead king's envoy seemed to have a bright appearance, but he was not a real big shot. All his glory came from Caesar III. But he is dead now, and dead people have no value.

Your existence now only makes them look bad, but as long as what you do next is beneficial to them, then they can put aside the previous things.

At least they can ignore it until you lose your use value.

Come on, put on this mask and say goodbye to your past life. Next, we will spend the rest of our lives fighting for the Lord of the Morning. No one can stop the glory of our Lord from spreading to every corner of the world! "

After listening to the masked man's deceptive words, Kallis was confused, and he was constantly interrogating his soul in his mind.

Fighting for the Lord of the Dawn is the exclusive slogan of the Holy See. Although other forces would occasionally shout, it was just to liven up the atmosphere and no one would take them seriously.

But the mysterious masked man in front of him was serious. This kind of soul recognition from the bottom of the heart has only been seen by Kallis in very few ascetics.

A knight with such a firm belief appeared here in this way, and he also harbored strong resentment against the Holy See. Kallis suddenly found that he could not understand the world at all.

Confused by doubts, driven away by the desire to survive, he still took over the mask.

There is no magic fluctuation, it is just an ordinary mask.

Without hesitation, under the masked man's eager gaze, Kallis put the mask on his face, but his inner doubts became more.

…

The ups and downs in the outside world did not affect Wright County. Everyone's life is still the same, those who are short of food are short of food, those who are complaining are complaining, and those who are watching the excitement continue to eat melon.

Perhaps because he lacked food and felt insecure, or perhaps he didn’t want to help his competitors raise people, after reaching an agreement, Baron Kettle immediately urged the transaction.

In view of the complicated situation in Wright County, neither Hudson nor Catley wanted to stand out, so this transaction became particularly strange.

People in the Maple Leaf Territory kept getting lost, which made Baron Ketley curse in the streets every day. He even organized a patrol to escort them, which shouldn't be a guard.

A rat plague broke out in the mountain territory. Countless big rats swarmed in and devoured a large amount of food. Baron Hudson was so angry that he rode the earth bear and roared in the mountain forest.

This strange situation continued until the population of Maple Leaf Territory was reduced by half, and peace between the two places began.

The truth is not important, that is how the two lords explained it to the outside world. There is no such thing as a transaction. Unless evidence can be found, there will be a price to pay for talking nonsense.

As for the extra grain in the Maple Leaf Territory, it was smuggled in by a profiteer codenamed Mouse, and was bought by Baron Kettle at a huge price.

The increased population in the Mountain Territory was supported by various branches of the Koslow family. This is the advantage of having a large family. From one to two hundred people, the family soon grew to more than 3,000 people.

The deal had just been completed, and while Hudson was deceiving himself and others to "avoid suspicion," Baron Kettle came to the Mountain Territory again.

Being stabbed last time was not enough, and he had to be sent to his door to be slaughtered again. Baron Kettle's heart was broken.

But there was no way. The farming season was coming, but not only were livestock scarce in his territory, but there were also very few farm tools.

Seeing the fields on the opposite side being plowed rapidly, while the cultivation speed of his own territory was as slow as a snail, Baron Keterai couldn't sit still at all.

It was all caused by the war, and the livestock of the original lord basically ended up in the belly of the rebels. The few iron farm tools also failed to escape the hands of the rebels and were smelted into weapons early on.

If you rummage around the battlefield, you might be able to find broken fragments of these weapons. It's just that it's useless to find it. Under the corrosion of rust, it has long been reduced to waste.

Having suffered from food shortage once, Baron Kettle did not want to try again. There is no immediate solution to the problem of livestock, but the gap in farm tools can be easily filled.

In order not to go hungry in the coming year, Baron Keterai hesitated again and again, but finally plucked up the courage to visit again.

Visitors are guests, and Hudson never treats customers lightly. Not only were tea and snacks provided, the treatment was much better than last time.

It's a pity that Baron Kettle's thoughts are not on these details at all, so his efforts are in vain.

"Dear Baron Hudson, the main purpose of interrupting me this time is to purchase a batch of farm tools from you."

Having dealt with him several times and knowing Hudson's straightforward temperament, Baron Kettle did not beat around the bush and stated his purpose directly.

Unlike the last time when he had to be slaughtered, the situation this time was slightly better. If he is willing to smelt weapons into farm tools, he doesn't have to go out to purchase them.

It is a pity that Baron Kettle, who was born in the Northland, does not have the concept of "melting soldiers to make plowshares" in his life creed.

Even though there were still a lot of weapons in his warehouse that were temporarily unused, and even though he knew that he might be slaughtered if he came here at this time, he still came.

"No problem, the farm tools are in the warehouse at the back, you can go and pick them up.

It's just that the recent skyrocketing prices have raised the production cost of farm tools, so the prices of farm tools are a little more expensive than before.

But you can rest assured that as the largest supplier of agricultural tools in the southeastern province, the prices here are definitely the cheapest.

Of course, Shandiling only does wholesale business and does not accept scattered business. Combination products are not sold individually. All products are sold at least 200 pieces, and the minimum consumption amount for each transaction must not be less than 500 gold coins. "

Hudson introduced enthusiastically.

Of course, the following restrictions are entirely temporary. The reason for setting such a high threshold is not entirely to deceive people, but mainly because of the appearance fee of Mr. Hudson.

With his title of "Knight of the Divine Bow", even if he went out to be a mercenary, he would have to start with at least two hundred gold coins, and there would be bonuses for killing enemies, and he would also have to participate in the share of the robbery.

It is twenty times that of an ordinary knight, which is still the minimum standard. If Hudson was really willing to take the order, I guess even if he asked for five hundred gold coins, there would still be a group of people rushing to invite him.

For no other reason, just because he is a divine archer who can break through armor and kill plate armored cavalry, he is enough to deter those guys in the North.

It may not be able to stop a large-scale cavalry charge, but facing a heavy cavalry force of thirty or fifty people, half of them can be knocked out before the opponent can rush over. It won't take long before the opponent can be wiped out on the battlefield.

It's just that this kind of life of licking blood from the edge of a knife is not what the peace-loving Hudson wants. No matter how high the outside bid was, Mr. Hudson remained unmoved.

He may not go out to take orders, but the value of the appearance fee has not been reduced. Since you personally receive customers, this expense must be included in the cost of sales.

Based on the minimum calculation of two hundred gold coins per appearance, if a business cannot earn two to three hundred gold coins, it is considered a loss-making transaction.

In the context of skyrocketing commodity prices, it was not suitable to further increase the unit price of goods. Hudson could only play with bundled sales and seek excess profits by increasing the transaction amount of the contract.

Rubbing his forehead speechlessly, Baron Kettle once again confirmed that this was a profiteer in front of him, not a noble.

If possible, he really wanted to turn around and leave without being exploited by profiteers here.

Unfortunately, there is only one seller like this. Even if scattered farm tools can be bought outside, they will most likely be wholesaled from here. He has no more choices at all.

"Then I'll ask Baron Hudson to lead the way!"
