Pirate King: Unparalleled<

After watching Earl Brut and his guards being dragged away by the guards until they could no longer see their shadows, Frey's anger calmed down a little. He began to understand a little bit about the nobles of this world. The vast majority of the nobles are not only greedy for money, but also have no brains. They even dare to be greedy for military expenditures to maintain the operation of the country's army. What is the army? A sage once said: "Soldiers are the life and death of the country, and the way to survive." , must not ignore it.”

If the old king hadn't been kind to Tris and made him loyal to the royal family, Frey believed that one day these soldiers who were exploited by those superior nobles would mutiny. By then, this group would not only eat, drink and have fun How can a piece of waste that has no other use for exploiting civilians withstand the anger from the people that has been pent up for many years and has nowhere to vent.

Frey decided to do something. He smiled at Tris and said: "Uncle Tris, please ask the soldiers to stop practicing physical skills and gather them to the playground. I have something to say to them."

Tris was a little confused after hearing Frey's words, but Tris, who had unconditional trust in Frey, immediately bowed and saluted, and then took the order to assemble the team.

Not long after, the soldiers who received orders from Tris began to stop what they were doing. Under the command of their respective commanders, they quickly and effectively began to assemble, and then everyone walked towards the playground in uniform steps. After everyone arrived, everyone focused their attention on the high platform on the playground, waiting silently for the arrival of His Majesty the King.

Frey led Tris slowly towards the high platform. The playground was quiet at this time, and you could hear the drop of a fine needle. The sound of every step Frey made on the stairs seemed to have stepped heavily on the hearts of the soldiers. For a few minutes, Finally, he came to the high platform. He first looked around at the army below. After a long silence, he smiled and said: "Good afternoon, soldiers who have served the Kingdom of Ferelden loyally. I am your king, Lancelot." d Frey”.

After a pause, Frey continued: "On such a special day, please allow me, the king, to say sorry to you. After saying the word "sorry", Frey looked at the soldiers below. They bowed deeply and stood up after a long time."

When the soldiers below saw the king apologizing to them and bowing, they immediately exploded. The silent soldiers below began to whisper to each other. After Tris's majestic "Silence", the soldiers became silent again. .

Frey continued: "You may be thinking in your heart, why do I, a king, a king who should be aloof and stay in the palace all day long to deal with important affairs of the country and have the power of life and death, show up in this military camp? You apologized and lowered your so-called noble heads and bowed to you."

"Why should I apologize to you? Because I did something wrong. If I did something wrong, I should apologize, admit it and correct it. You should be thinking in your heart, what mistake did I make that warrants such a big publicity? I will gather you together and bow and apologize in front of more than a thousand people."

Frey said in a deep voice: "The mistake I made was a crime of oversight. Every year, the kingdom collects heavy taxes from the common people. The intention of the taxes is good, and its purpose is to make the country stronger. When the country becomes stronger, In the future, ordinary people can live a better life, and they will not have to worry about the safety of their lives and property, let alone pirates and bandits threatening their lives."

"But just today, in order to eradicate the White Rhino Pirates who were causing trouble in the waters near the Kingdom and threatening the safety of people and property in the coastal cities of the Kingdom, I summoned General Tris to discuss with him how to eliminate these pirates. The pirates who were in chaos never expected that the biggest threat was not the powerful pirates called the White Rhino Pirates, but the corrupt nobles in the country. Every year, the kingdom spends about 200 million shells. , and were handed over to General Tris by Finance Minister Brut as a military expenditure to maintain the operation of the army. However, General Terris told me today that there is no such thing as 200 million berries. Every year, Finance Minister Brut only gives him less than 200 million berries. Three million beli military expenses.”

Frey continued to speak impassionedly: "I was very shocked when I heard what was said here. How can the military expenditure of less than 3 million berries per year be used to run a country's military? My first question My reaction was that General Tris deceived me, but then I thought about it. General Tris was an important minister who assisted my late father. He was loyal to me after his death. His loyalty is unquestionable. So there is only one answer left, our Chancellor Brut deceived me and embezzled military funds."

I asked General Tris to accompany me to the military camp. I wanted to see with my own eyes what kind of life my loyal soldiers lived. When I came to the military camp, I saw all of you. I was very pleased with the diligent training, but when I saw you wearing old leather armor with holes and holding rusty, chipped, and chipped weapons in your hands, I felt very angry. When I came to the kitchen, I saw When the chefs cooked the so-called porridge with a few grains of rice and vegetable leaves in the pot, I was already furious.

As loyal soldiers of the Kingdom, you have been fighting for the Kingdom all year round, leaving behind your bones and blood and sweat on the territory of the Kingdom. You have made great military exploits. You should have received commensurate military equipment and food pay.

"But I never thought that someone in the kingdom would dare to secretly embezzle the funds to improve your armaments and pay you military salaries. This kind of worm in the country is the misfortune of the army, the misfortune of the people, and the misfortune of the entire country. It is truly a heinous and unpardonable crime, and not killing him is not enough to make the people angry."

When the soldiers below heard that someone had embezzled their military expenses and food pay, they roared in unison: "Kill him, kill him, kill him."

Frey waved his hand to signal the soldiers below to quiet down. After they all quieted down, he pulled out a sharp blade with cold light from the waist of the guard beside him and held it in his right hand. He looked around at the soldiers below again. , Frey stretched out his left hand and spread it out in mid-air, then raised the sharp blade in his hand and pointed it at the palm of his left hand, gently making a wide and long bloody gash, and blood instantly flowed out.

Tris next to him exclaimed when he saw Frey's self-mutilation and rushed forward to bandage him. Frey turned around and quickly waved his hand to signal him not to come up, then turned around and aimed with his still bleeding left hand. The soldiers below squeezed hard and began to bleed instantly. Blood dripped in front of the soldiers. He looked at the soldiers below.

He said loudly and seriously: "Today, I, Lancelot Frey, in the name of the King of the Kingdom of Ferelden, and with the blood on my left hand and the sharp blade on my right hand, make a blood oath that I will eradicate the nobles in the country. I will let my people live a happy and prosperous life under my protection. I will risk everything I have to guard this kingdom. If there is any violation, I will be cut into pieces by random knives and then thrown into the endless The deep sea is buried in the belly of the fish of the sea king."

"This oath is borne by heaven and earth."

The soldiers below were shocked when they saw what the noble king had done and his sincere oath. They didn't know who started it. At first, it was just the shouts of one or two people. By the end, more than a thousand people shouted. The loud voice of praise broke through the sky.

"Long live His Majesty the King"

"Long live the Kingdom of Ferelden"

"Long live His Majesty Frey"

"We are willing to do our best for the Kingdom of Ferelden and His Majesty Frey"

Hearing the heartfelt praise from more than a thousand people below, Frey felt very relieved. He thought that his tearful speech and self-mutilation were not in vain, and he had gained the loyalty of these soldiers.

What made him happiest was the rows of rice-sized fonts on the light that only he could see in front of him.

“Popular support value 1000”

“Popular support value 1000”

“Popular support value 3000”

“Popular support value 3000”

"Your current popular support balance is 9600"

When he saw the sentence that the balance was 9600, Frey finally fainted happily due to excessive blood loss, and fell down gorgeously. Fortunately, Tris behind him hugged him in time. .

Tris looked at Tris who fainted in his arms and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty"

Seeing that he didn't respond, Tris violently tore off a strip of cloth from his body, briefly bandaged his left hand that was still bleeding, and then ordered the guards to prepare the carriage back to the palace, then hugged Frey and rushed away. Walking crookedly towards the barracks.
