Lord of Glory

Chapter Ninety-three: Working together——

Paladin smiled happily, and even nodded and said: "Harvey has been killed by me." But obviously, this news did not surprise the Earl, but he nodded with relief. Suddenly he knocked on the table with the table knife. A Kalechi, wearing a gorgeous armor with lush carvings and patterns, walked out from behind with an embarrassed look on his face. Seeing Kalechi, the count immediately stared at Paladin, hoping to see something from his expression. But what disappointed him was that Paladin remained expressionless, as if the person walking out at this moment was not his confidant and accomplice, but an irrelevant passerby.

"Your Excellency, Bishop, do you know Kalech?" Paladin nodded slightly, looked at Kalech with his head lowered, and suddenly smiled: "This armor suits you very well." This showed a frankness without blaming, which made Kalech breathed a sigh of relief. He has seen Paladin's terrifying power. Now that I can no longer blame myself for turning my arm outward, I feel relieved.

The Count was smiling all over his face. Seeing the expressions of Paladin and Kalechi, he suddenly stood up and walked around the dining table, pulling out the thin sword without a tip from his waist. Kalechi immediately knelt on one knee. The count slapped his sword on both sides of his shoulders and said solemnly: "In view of your talents and abilities, you are an outstanding leader and commander. I, in the name of Buonarus, Count Torch, canonize you as my A knight in his name, and also the lord of **Ba!"

"I will accompany you with my sword and my glory." Kalech's very obvious expression of excitement showed how excited he was at this moment. Paladin's eyes widened! He didn't expect that for gold coins, this Earl of Torch could be so generous! Is this because you can’t bear to let go of your children and don’t look for wolves?

"Get up, Sir **Barbara. The formal etiquette will be held after the war is over when we return to the castle." The Earl sheathed his sword and watched Kalechi stand up. Paladin immediately stood up from his position without losing the opportunity and congratulated: "Kalech, now you have become a noble." "Hehe, haha." Happiness came so fast that Kalech couldn't recover. Come. Even at this moment, he still looked as if he was demented in a dream, inadvertently letting out a series of giggles.

Paladin smiled but looked at the count. Although his face was respectful, there was a different meaning in his eyes. When the Count Torch saw this, he immediately laughed and said: "Don't look at me like this, sit down." When the Count, Kalechi and Paladin sat down separately, he said leisurely: "These days, often Someone came to my castle to report. It was said that the auxiliary bishop, you and Sir **Ba, took **Ba's ironworks as their own. It was at the time when the principality and Ai Xinzhe were at war, and you made a lot of money. Money.”

Although the count had a smile on his face, Kalech felt condemned and immediately accused him: "Your Majesty, it was Bishop Andrew and the Reverend Nakarava together..." Unexpectedly, the count did not wait for Kalech to finish. , but shook his hand indifferently. Looking at the silent and smiling Paladin, he said: "I was short of money. When I was short of money, two thieves stole things from my house and then asked me to spend money to buy them back. Your Excellency, Auxiliary Bishop, what do you think?"

Kalechi's expression suddenly changed, but Paladin was very calm. There was even a slight joy in his eyes and he said softly: "If I were you, I would catch these two thieves and become my hired thieves." Thief, get greater benefits for me." "But those two thieves have a leader and will not leave so easily." The count was still smiling, but Paladin immediately said, "Then just destroy the leader completely. Because the leader will not only not surrender to you, but will also try every means to steal your things. If there are two less thieves, sooner or later there will be two more thieves, or even more."

Listening to this conversation, Kalechi seemed to have some understanding. His originally nervous expression also returned to calmness. The Earl suddenly burst into laughter, his tone full of joy. Paladin and Kalechi also looked at each other and laughed heartily in unison.

Paladin knew in his heart that the Earl was very unhappy with the profits he and Kalechi had made from the ironworks. This is why he agreed to Harvey's request and brought the Paladins into the ranks of the priests accompanying the army. But now that Harvey is dead, the count has seen Paladin's means and courage. Moreover, the Earl believed that these things were caused by Andrew and the two of them, and Paladin was just following orders. The ones who really constantly harmed his interests and gold coins, as annoying as blood-sucking insects, were the parish bishop Andrew and the complicit abbot Nakarava.

He thinks this is a cancer. Therefore, to win over Kalechi and Paladin, they must use these two chess pieces to deal with Andrew and Nakarava who scrape his gold coins. To make money for him. However, the count will never find out, and even if he finds out, he will not agree that the real black hand is actually Paladin, and once such a person is allowed to gain greater power, one day the sharp edge of the sword will definitely hurt him.

While Paladin was making plans in secret, on the other side of the camp, Paladin's clone Alfred received an order from Baron Hank and went to the northeastern bush to put on a scout team to investigate the situation. Originally, the position of scout would not fall on the clone. After all, he is still a knight, how can he investigate like those civilians? But Baron Hank was in trouble and couldn't tell. Because Countess White Orchid, who belongs to the legion, was teased by the drunk Baron Hank at a banquet not long ago. After he sobered up, Hank greatly regretted it. As a result, within a few days, the entire left army's reconnaissance mission was handed over to Baron Hank.

I still remember Countess White Orchid holding a whip and looking at Baron Hank with disgust and saying: "It is a supreme honor to entrust you with such an important task. As a noble of the principality, you can tease me at the banquet. Don't you have a scout team?" As a result, the baron, who had only 200 troops, had to send out all the knights and retainers plus civilian scout teams to barely capture this terrain. It is really a mute eating Coptis chinensis and suffering indescribable misery.

At this moment, the clone, who had just put on a light chain mail jacket and heraldic robe under the service of Salander's attendants, had just pinned a cross sword on his waist and stepped onto a war horse without any armor. A man who was also a knight, with dazzling blond hair, a Chinese character face, and a curved beard, rode up to the clone without any hesitation.

He glanced at the attendant Salander who ran to get on his horse, lowered his voice and said angrily: "Oh, Enos is here. I don't know what bad luck happened. Alfred, you and I are both nobles. , but they are all knights! We have to complete these tasks that are clearly cannon fodder with our own hands! You don’t know, the knights under Baron Madison laughed at us last night and said, 'The compatriots under Hank are miserable. You got such a confused lord! Are you angry or not?"

The clone took the lightweight clip-on helmet and put it on his head, and said calmly: "Dear Bob, the person you are talking about is our loyal lord, Baron Hank. You should also be careful with your words on such occasions. "The clone said this, and his attendant Salander also put on leather armor, held a long sword, and followed on horseback. When Bob saw the soldiers coming and going with hooks and sickles and wearing pot helmets, he immediately fell silent. When the soldier walked away and the wooden gate of the camp opened with a bang, Bob immediately complained: "We are loyal to the Grand Duke, to honor and justice! Instead of stupidly running into the bushes and waiting for Ai Xinzhe. The scouts shot us to death with bows and arrows! I also told you..."

"Okay, okay, my dear Bob. Hurry up and gather together. If it's any later, not only the other knights will have objections, but even our lord, Lord Hank, will be dissatisfied." Interrupting the idiot's verbosity, The clone kicked the horse in the belly, and with the sound of the horse's cry, it brought up a cloud of dust and flew away...
