The scouts at the front of the army seemed to have discovered De Lassel and his group.
The reconnaissance of a large-scale unit does not require as much caution and stealth as that of a small unit.
They just need to lead the way forward. After all, no one dares to mess with the group of "terrorists" behind them.
"Who is hiding over there? Come out! Otherwise we will shoot arrows at there!" The scout couldn't tell whether the person on the other side was an enemy or a friend at this time, so he could only trick them first.
At this moment, De La Serre showed up slowly with a rebellious look on his face. He said:
"Brother, calm down. We are one family. I believe you must have heard of the new Lord of Uxhall, Count De La Serre."
"Oh, is it the Firebird Knight who participated in the vanguard and won the battle a few days ago?"
"Fuck you, it's Flame, the Flame Knight! You bastard, you can't even get the information clearly, and you're trying to be a scout by imitating others..."
Evaluation: Current reputation is 180, honor value is 12, and the title is "Fire Knight". Don't be angry, Baron. Maybe your reputation and honor value are not high enough, but Firebird Knight is also nice to hear.
This scout had earlier been to Uxhall and had seen the duel between the Baron and his brother, so he had some impression of his physical features.
He carefully observed the appearance of the baron in front of him, and based on the baron's words, he deduced that it should be De Lassel himself.
"Please forgive me, the honorable Count De La Serre. I will pay attention next time. Please allow me to lead the way for you. Our King Harlaus X is just ahead. He is looking for you!"
"Okay boys, lead the way. Safiya, Xiaonan, follow me."
Xiao Nan nodded respectfully and followed with the remaining cavalry hired by the tavern.
Safiya was still thinking about the song and the ambiguous scene between him and the Queen Ronnie. She was a little unhappy and followed behind with a pout.
At this time, the scout shouted to the troops behind him:
"Don't worry, they are our own people! They are the Turkey Knights... Bah! The Flame Knights, the Lord of Uxhall, the troops of Count De Lassel!"
NMD... De La Serre's face turned pale, and he wished he could get married.
Give this damn boy a solid punch. He is a firebird one moment and a turkey the next. Why can't he get along with birds and beasts
"Hey, you little bastard, what's your name?"
"Lord De La Serre, my name is Sherman Benjamin, and my brothers in the army call me Benjamin."
"Very good. From today on, you will be called Xiao Ming. It's a waste of your talent to be a scout. Whose unit do you belong to?"
"I am a member of King Harlaus's army and the newest scout. What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I will ask King Harlaus to transfer you to my army. I plan to make use of you, Xiao Ming."
Hearing this, Xiao Ming turned around and looked at De Lassel, feeling a little confused.
"Your Excellency, Lord Earl, but we just met today. Why do you think so highly of me?"
"A person who can't even tell the difference between a turkey, a firebird, and a flame must have some other special skills, otherwise he wouldn't appear in my life. Come hang out with me from now on..."
Xiao Ming actually listened to De La Salle's somewhat absurd explanation, not for anything else, but just because of that sentence, possessing special skills...
Seeing this, the large Swadian army behind them nodded respectfully to the baron.
And made way for him, leading them slowly towards where King Harlaus X was.
This was the second time De La Serre had seen the king, the last time having been at Uxhall.
He knew that he had to be serious in front of the king and not show his usual carefree appearance. At this moment, he had begun to restrain himself.
Soon, several people came before the king. De La Serre dismounted and half-knelt on the ground, saying:
"Greetings, the honorable King of Swadia, Harlaus X. I am your loyal subordinate, De Lacel."
The king smiled, waved his hand and asked him to stand up, and said:
"Well, I heard that you defeated the enemy, Nayan Tulu of the Kugit Khanate. You also helped Count Harun and his men as the vanguard and made great achievements. You are very popular recently."
“Your Majesty, this is not just my achievement. I will continue to work hard and make contributions to Swadia.”
"Very good, then it seems that the letter in my hand in which you claim to join the Khergit Khanate
, it is fake." After saying this, the king took out the letter from his arms.
De La Serre recalled that this should be the work of the Valkyrie Tian Yan, and immediately explained:
"Your Majesty, you are a wise monarch. This is fake! It was forged by the enemy, the Valkyrie Tianyan of the Khergit Khanate."
"Haha, you are indeed a talented person. Other kingdoms are vying to have you serve them..." King Harlaus said with a more ambiguous tone...
Facing this shrewd king who had mastered the art of controlling the kingdom's nobility for decades, De Lassel didn't know how to answer.
The king saw all of his actions, and he knew in his heart that De La Serre had not yet made up his mind.
After all, the current strength of the Kingdom of Swadia is far greater than that of the Khergit Khanate. Moreover, if he wanted to betray and surrender to the enemy, he would not be able to defeat the enemy so badly.
"Don't be nervous, De La Serre. I believe in your loyalty. If you really wanted to betray your country, you wouldn't have fled here with just a dozen people. It must have been difficult to come back from the enemy country. You have won two wars. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
"Your Majesty, I really don't need any reward. The credit for the vanguard battle was mainly due to Count Harun. As for Yantulu, there is nothing wrong with me protecting the town of Uxhall that I rule. But I saw your scout, this guy is quite smart..."
De Lassel changed the subject and turned to look at Xiao Ming who was on standby next to him.
King Harlaus's eyes followed him and turned to Xiao Ming beside him. He thought for a moment and said:
"Oh, I didn't expect you to like men, De La Cel. Well, I won't interfere with your personal preferences. As everyone knows, I'm a generous king. These scouts are all yours."
"No, no, King, you misunderstood. I don't have a preference for men..."
"Hey, it doesn't matter whether you have it or not, it's yours!" The king showed a lewd smile and waved his hand, signaling him to stop talking nonsense.
System prompt: You have obtained 3 Swadian Iron Knights (Level 5), including the Xiao Ming you wanted.
De La Serre was overjoyed. It turned out that these were actually top-level Swadian Iron Knights! It seemed that Xiao Ming was quite capable. If they really fought, Xiao Nan would not be his opponent!
