De La Serre felt a little uncomfortable with this, but he did not refute it. He agreed first: "You are right, Your Majesty."
"But your achievements in battle have impressed me. You know, a few years ago, I fought against Nayan Tulu of the Khergit Khanate, and I was defeated each time, but you defeated him twice."
"It was just luck, it was really just luck, Your Majesty."
"Twice, you also call it luck? Now, you defeated the Nord Kingdom's brave Aji again. The last time you provoked the Nord Kingdom's brave Arthur, it was mainly your credit, right?"
Faced with King Harlaus X's aggressive and relentless pressure, De Lassel felt a headache and had no time to deal with it. His head was spinning so fast that he couldn't keep up with the pace of his questions.
Before De La Serre could think of a response, the king continued, "Do you really think that these Swadian soldiers under your command don't obey my orders directly? How brave you are!"
"I..." De La Serre thought about the fact that there was a spy of the king around him, and it was horrifying to think about it, so terrifying...
"You have taken over the Shiko Village and Dake Castle of the Kugit Khanate, but you are still not satisfied? You also want the Gilly Castle and Gilly Village of the Nord Kingdom, right?"
"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of seizing these fiefs. Please understand!"
"I know you don't mean that, because you are not strong enough to occupy so many fiefs, and you don't have enough soldiers and resources, De La Ser. But, you have a dragon..."
King Harlaus X said this and looked towards Ryan in the distance, and the king's eyes revealed naked desire for possession and greed.
"If you give me this dragon, I can forgive you for what happened. I think you should know what will happen to you after the conspiracy between the two lords..."
The king's words were simply a threat, leaving the baron no room for negotiation.
"Your Majesty, I..."
"I know this will be very difficult for you. Let me give you a day to think about it. Tomorrow morning, right here, in the Lord's Hall, I hope to hear your answer that will satisfy me."
The Baron had no choice but to
He agreed: "Okay, Your Majesty, I will give you an answer tomorrow."
"But in view of your special situation now, I will first take back your fiefdom and your soldiers." After the king said this, he waved his hand gently.
The hundred or so elite soldiers under the king instantly understood the king's intention, surrounded De Lassel's troops outside the lord's hall, and signaled them to drop their weapons.
Seeing this, De La Serre knew that if they resisted, only death would await them, so he had no choice but to say, "Put down your weapons."
As a result, all the 40 or so level 2 Swadian soldiers under his command dropped their weapons and obeyed the arrangements of the king's elite troops.
In this situation, Safiya and Ryan were furious and were about to go berserk! Safiya even wanted to draw her bow and shoot the king to death. And Ryan's mouth was full of flames...
At this time, King Harlaus X, who should have been a little frightened, was very calm and laughed and said:
"What? Are you planning to rebel? I didn't expect your subordinates to be so rebellious, De La Serre. But I don't know if their lives are important to you."
After saying this, Harlaus X clapped his hands, and several of his elite troops put their swords on the necks of old Ao's family, the wealthy merchant Manid, and his mother, Ms. Bena, and pushed them all out.
"You! Your Majesty... No, Harlaus, you old man, do you really think I'm afraid of you? How dare you threaten me with the lives of my family and my loved ones!?"
Once these words were spoken, it was bound to mean that the two groups were about to fall out.
King Harlaus X nodded meaningfully and said, "Yes, that's right, I'm threatening you."
"I'm telling you, old man. I can kill ten of you with one sword! My dragon can burn a dozen of your soldiers to death with a blast of fire. Do you think you're going to die?"
"Do you want to die with me, De Lacel? I can guarantee that all your family members will die here. Also, even if you have a dragon, there are hundreds of Swadian soldiers outside. I believe you can't handle it."
The king's words were true. Even if he, Ryan, and Safiya were good at fighting, the hundreds of soldiers outside would not be able to defeat them.
It's exhausting.
“Besides... hahaha... do you think I would personally take part in such a matter?” After saying that, King Harlaus X actually tore off a layer of his face, and then a young and handsome boy appeared.
"Damn it, the King's stand-in! You actually sent a stand-in to perform this kind of mission, Harlaus X, I really underestimated you..."
At this moment, De Lassel was full of regret. Since he came to this continent, he had not paid attention to the king, which led to the current disaster.
"Substitute? That title is too ugly. I am the king's shadow. The king has several shadows as loyal as me. Do you think it is that easy to meet or assassinate the king?"
"Okay, then Shadow, since I have chosen to turn against you, you should also choose to be honest with me and tell me the terms. What exactly does the king want?"
"Haha, you and Count Harun are both insignificant characters. The king only has eyes for your dragon. To be honest, he had eyes for your dragon when we fought Kugit last time. Since that day, we have been preparing for today's plan!"
Then the shadow said, "If you promise to give me the dragon, your family can all survive, but we will expel you from the Kingdom of Swadia forever, and you are not allowed to set foot in this territory!"
Hearing that the other party had been planning and plotting until today in order to execute this plan, De La Serre couldn't help but laugh bitterly, and he completely relaxed instead.
Well, it seems that you are fully qualified. Now is the Shura battlefield for me, De Lassel. In such an important battle, let me see what my fate will be.
After a moment's silence, De La Ser responded:
"Forget about it, Long. Even if I die here with Long, you can't take it away. As for expelling me from the screen, do you think I will stay here? Tell me the second condition."
"The second condition is that you all go die and say hello to the god of death! After I kill you all, I will catch the dragon and bring it back to the king."
"It seems there is no room for negotiation? Then let's fight, come on." After saying this, De La Ser looked at the old Ao family, the wealthy businessman Manid, and his mother, Ms. Bena, in the distance, with mixed feelings in his heart...
