Airdell understood Dane's meaning.
He is not an idiot, of course he knows that this kind of reconstruction is not just a simple name change. If the Beast Blood Fort Legion really completes the series of reconstructions he said according to Dane's intention, then the Beast Blood Castle Legion will really cease to exist.
Don't look at what Dane said so sweetly, such "glorious history" and "good places" are all false. After thinking about it carefully, you can understand that what Dane wants is to completely control this legion, even dismembering it.
Renaming, dismantling the population of soldiers, and replacing officers, these three moves, the new Governor's Guard Corps, the imprint of Beast Blood Castle will be greatly weakened. And the permanent change of the garrison directly cut off the uncontrolled side of the legion from the root - didn't the soldiers and officers all think that they would return to Beast Blood Castle one day? Let me tell you now that there is no need to go back. From now on, in the southern border, under the leadership of Governor Dane, I will obediently obey and work hard!
To be honest, Elder thought that as long as the Beast Blood Castle Legion did not rebel, such a change would happen one day. Even, he thought calmly and objectively, such a transformation is inevitable.
However, what she didn't expect was that this day would come so quickly.
After digesting Dane's words, the young knight said slowly: "My lord, if this happens, I think it will arouse the reaction of the lower-level officers and soldiers below, and they are likely to have resistance."
He has already said this very politely. In fact, if the estimate is pessimistic, not only the lower-level officers and soldiers at the bottom will have conflicts in their hearts, but even middle- and senior-level officers are likely to have considerable support for this reform. big hostility.
Among other things, even if it is Elder himself, is there no resistance in his heart
But Dane didn't seem to know this at all. He said: "Yes, I have considered this, so this is why I came to you this time. You are the commander of this legion, and you were the adjutant of Governor Oze in the past. There are quite a few people in the legion. Great influence and prestige. Although there are indeed some difficulties in front of us, but I believe that with your help, we will be able to advance and complete this reform.”
Elder smiled wryly.
It wasn't until Dane said this that he finally fully understood.
Perhaps, asking him to help, this may be sincere, but it is by no means the most important reason. Come to think of it, what Dane values most is his prestige in this legion.
Imagine, when the news of the reorganization came out, if Airdell clearly expressed his opposition, what would that mean
The best result is that the restructuring cannot go on, and if the situation is a little worse, it is not impossible for a civil war to break out.
Dane didn't want to take such a risk, so of course he had to get rid of Elder first.
Airdell said with a wry smile: "Do I have room to object?"
Dane spread his hands and said, "Don't put on such an expression, you must know that I am not a conspirator."
Airdell didn't answer, but he obviously didn't believe Dane's words so much.
He has this self-knowledge, but if he dares to say that he opposes here today, that he will definitely not agree to this restructuring, he may lose his life forever in this door. The best result is nothing more than house arrest.
Under such circumstances, isn't it a conspirator who wants Elder to agree with Dane himself
Dane seemed to have guessed what Elder was thinking, he just laughed out loud and said: "You are wrong, I know you will be a stumbling block in my restructuring plan, of course I want to solve your problem. Not only do I not want you to be a stumbling block, I also want you to be my right-hand man, and I want you to help me as if you were helping Ou Ze."
Elder raised his head, glanced at Dane, and said, "Actually, I'm not that important. As long as I don't object, I believe that you, Lord Lord, can easily complete this reformation yourself, right? You don't need me." help."
Dane did not refute, but nodded, and said: "Yes, you are right. As long as you don't say anything, I can finish this restructuring myself. Those guys without a leader, no matter how big things happen , I have the confidence to settle it."
The blond knight didn't speak, just looked directly into Dane's eyes, he was waiting, he wanted to hear what Dane would say next.
Under Elder's gaze, Dane didn't back down, his firm eyes almost seemed to contain mountains and rivers in his heart!
He continued: "What I value you is never because of your status as the commander of the Beast Blood Fortress. What I value is that you are the future commander of the Governor's Guards. In the future, Schindler will become a A true, unified country, after Caesar's Empire, this war-torn place will end all chaos and become a truly peaceful place."
"We will build a nation, we will start an era!"
"Such a great achievement, I need someone to share this glory with me."
"I will be the king, and you, Elder, do you want to be the clown who is defeated by the king, or the hero closest to the king?"
Every time he said a word, Dane would take a step forward; and when he spit out the word 'hero', his figure had completely enveloped Elder.
The figure of the young knight was already considered tall, but in front of the majestic Dane, he was a whole head shorter!
However, what shocked Elder even more was Dane's previous words.
'Do you want to be a stepping stone, a clown, or a hero beside the king? '
Elder struggled in his heart. He really couldn't let go of a trace of feelings in his heart, couldn't let go of the pride of being a member of Beast Blood Castle, and maybe even had some resentment for Ou Ze's sudden departure.
But all of this was washed away in the end.
He drew out his long sword, knelt in front of Dane on one knee, and offered the sword with both hands: "James Airdell, hereby swear allegiance to you, the great Governor Hindler! I will be your sword , to wipe out all enemies for you; I will be your shield and resist all malice for you; I will serve your side and become your most loyal knight."
A big smile appeared on Dane's lips. He took Elder's sword with one hand, and directly pulled the young knight up with the other hand, and hugged him!
