Lord of Lowland

Chapter 513 Bartley's Resistance
After hearing this, the Great Knight Bartley was simply stunned!I didn't expect Cecil to directly deprive himself of the position of head of the knight order, how dare he!How could he do that!This is not a small matter. In the Lovalland continent, the regiment leaders have a very high status. Although they all have loyal lords and are responsible for the main attack, they are very independent.The head of the knight order is almost lifelong, unless you really don’t want to do it, you will pass it on to your son or the most loyal confidant, otherwise the emperor or the king will not easily deprive the position of head of the knight order. Positions are as sacred as noble territories, and now Cecil is only the earl of a territory, and he only leads the knight order, so he directly wants to deprive the knight order of the position of head.Not only did Grand Knight Bartley not accept it, but even Cecil's own people felt very shocked.They used to think that Cecil was a little too weak towards the Blood Eagle Knights, but now they know that Cecil intends to be so tough, which is a 180-degree turn.At this moment, even those of us who thought Cecil was too weak in the past also felt that Cecil was a bit too much.

In fact, this is the difference in concept. In the society that Cecil traveled through, it is the normal state of the society that the capable go up and the mediocre go down. The hereditary life-long system does not exist in itself, and it is absolutely different from everything in this world. , so it is natural for Cecil to do this for granted, but it will definitely cause an uproar in the minds of people in this world.

Sure enough, Grand Knight Bartley's face turned green after hearing this, and he hesitated for a long time, unable to speak, obviously a little confused by Cecil's sudden action, he didn't know what to say, adjusted It took a long time before he opened his mouth to speak: "Thank you Earl for your appreciation. Although I am old and weak, I dare not slack off my responsibilities to the kingdom. And I am far from being old and useless, so I think Blood Eagle I can still continue to serve as the leader of the Knights, so I won’t bother you, Lord Bartley.” The great knight Bartley held back for a long time, trying to find a step that both of them could descend, but found that this has already involved There is really no room for change in his core interests, so he can only bluntly reject Cecil's request. "

Cecil smiled: "You don't have to be polite, big knight. You have worked hard for the kingdom all your life, and you have already done a lot. You are close to 60 years old. How can you fight on the battlefield at such an old age?" ?You have reached the age of having grandchildren, and you have a mistake on the battlefield. Didn’t I, the lord, become a sinner in the kingdom? Let us young people do these things, I am in the king I bought a big house for you, which is no worse than those nobles in the kingdom, and then I will give you a lot of money to make you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. Isn’t it beautiful for you to spend the rest of your life happily, Grand Knight? One thing? What's the future of fighting and killing all the time? In the end, it's just a skeleton. You'd better retire to your old age, Grand Knight, and leave the affairs on the battlefield to us young people who don't hesitate That's it." Cecil said with a big wave of his hand, indicating that this matter is over, so that the Bartley knight can stand up and retreat.

How could Grand Knight Bartley admit that he is so cowardly? This is a cause he has fought for all his life. Even if he risked his life, he could not let his position of commander be taken away by others. Since Earl Cecil is so ungrateful In front of him, I don’t have to bow down to him anymore. Thinking of this, High Priest Bartley stood up: “Master Earl, my Blood Eagle Knights are the regular knights of the kingdom, and your title is just an earl, and you are not qualified to decide The appointment of the head of the knight order, only the king has this power, so if you want to make fun of my position as head, you'd better write a letter to report to our King Rex, and let the king come down to decide on my knight order Do you want to cancel the position of chief?" Bartley Grand Knight moved out King Rex to overwhelm Cecil, although when you talk to your boss, what your boss wants most is that you bring out a bigger leader to overwhelm him, Bart Knight Lai also knew the truth, but now that Cecil wanted to touch his lifeblood, he couldn't control so much.

Cecil smiled slightly when he heard Grand Knight Bartley's words. He knew that Grand Knight Bartley would use any trick to keep his position as the head of the knight order, so it was not surprising.Cecil smiled and said: "Of course I understand this truth. For a first-class knight order like the Blood Eagle Knights, the appointment of the head of the knight order must of course be decided by His Majesty the King. I don't disagree with what you said." Clear, but exceptions can be made under certain circumstances." Cecil said leisurely, his tone already somewhat vicious and cold.

"You are on such an important battlefield, but you are standing by with your troops. My troops are fighting bloody battles, but you are watching the excitement from the sidelines. You arrived after the war. Your Majesty the King of the Knights is coming. What's the use? What's the use for a leader like you, the king, to come here?" Cecil began to reprimand the Bartley Grand Knight and the Blood Eagle Knights head-on, speaking with integrity.

I have nothing to say when I hear this kind of accusation against the Grand Knight Bartley, but this kind of thing is also common in this troubled world. Although this kind of thing is not very pleasant on the surface, in fact, almost everyone is fighting on their own. mean.Participate in the battle with the wind and stay alone against the wind. It is almost the standard practice of all independent knights in this era. Although the behavior of the Blood Eagle Knights before the battle is a bit unethical, it is not incomprehensible. It is a popular practice to use this as an excuse to reprimand him for a few sentences to deprive him of the qualification to share the spoils, but it is a bit too much to deprive him of the qualification of the head of the knight order or even reorganize the entire knight order.

In front of Grand Knight Bartley, Cecil wanted his own life, so he absolutely could not retreat any further. His political career and military career had reached the most dangerous time, and if he took a step back, there would be a cliff.So the great knight Bartley put his heart on the line: "The Blood Eagle Knights were indeed ineffective in the battle just now. I also admit this. I will now give up all the distribution of spoils. At the same time, we are ashamed of the Earl. In order to punish us Myself, the Blood Eagle Knights will leave the province of Samara and become a field army again!"
