The Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 374: Kant's empty promise

Views:

There was something in Baron Dylan's words, because he was extremely angry, but he just suppressed it.

He not only reminded Kant that he was the nominal lord here, but also mentioned other nobles in the Principality of Lions. He also wanted to use the coercion of the noble court to suppress Kant and prevent him from overreacting.

Back then at the central station, Kant's methods left him with lingering fears.

Kill decisively.

This assessment is extremely correct.

Countess Agatha secretly reared the Storm Mercenary Group, 600 knight-level horse thieves, considered elite among the national-level troops of the Lion Principality, but they were easily wiped out by Kant's troops.

You know, there are two big knights inside, the ones who have mastered extraordinary powers!

But it did not pose any threat to Kant.

Instead, most were killed, and the rest were captured as slaves.

Although this matter did not spread out.

But secretly there is also uproar.

After all, such a powerful army was wiped out so easily, which did not mean that Countess Agatha's power was damaged, but that Baron Kant actually possessed certain strength!

At least not afraid of ordinary Baron.

For example Dylan.

Now he has lost the strength to compete with Kant.

Just like what I said now, it is more about self-preservation. Baron Dylan really believes that if something happens, the former little Kant will kill himself without hesitation!

After all, he was able to survive because of his identity as the lord of Jianshi Pass.

The cause of death is also simple.

Still the identity of the lord of the Stone Pass!

Now, I don't know how many nobles secretly hope that he can resist and be killed by Baron Kant, or that during his resistance, he will kill Baron Kant, a newly rising nobleman.

No matter what the result is, the nobles of the Lion Principality will have nothing to lose.

Snipe and clam fight each other.

But in the end, it's still the fisherman who wins at the end!

Of course, the biggest possibility is that Baron Dylan himself will be killed. After all, he has now sensed that there is extraordinary power condensed in Kant's body, and even that strength is not weaker than his.

You know, Baron Dylan has been honed as a great knight for nearly 12 years!

It was still the great knight that Princess Sophia arranged for him to become.

Now, it hasn't been long since Kant became a great knight, and his strength has been honed to be stronger than him in more than ten years. Baron Dylan has to be afraid in his heart and dare not make any big moves.

This is also the reason why he chose to forbear.

Just not now.

Watching the fat butler betray himself.

Even those vassal knights who were not badly treated betrayed themselves.

Baron Dylan's anger and aggrieved swarmed out, so he couldn't help but remind Kant that this Lion Principality still needs certain rules, such as the powerful noble court, which cannot be provoked by anyone.

But for him, the powerful and almost invincible noble court didn't matter to Kant.

"Yes, Baron Dylan, do you have any objections?"

Kant spoke.

Looking at Baron Dylan sitting at the end, completely behind Fatis and the Lion Knight, he smiled and said: "I don't think you will have any objections, right? Our relationship is so close, now you just need to listen to me. That's fine."

"You..." Baron Dylan blushed, his words were almost a slap in the face.

This is Stone Pass.

In the past, only Baron Dylan could show his strength.

Now Kant not only sits on his main seat, but arranges him at the bottom, and even directly arranges for him, just like Kant is the lord here and he is a humble guest!

"That's right, we think Baron Kant can indeed arrange it."

"Yes, yes, Baron Kant is a powerful person."

"Baron Kant has arranged everything, so you can rest assured, we will follow the arrangement."

A voice came from the side.

It was a dozen or so of the vassal knights sitting at the bottom.

There was a flattering smile on their faces, watching Kant bowing his head respectfully and flattering him, not even looking at Baron Dylan's darkening face next to him, obviously ready to stand in line.

The current general trend is with Kant. They are not stupid, so why can't they see it

"Well, that's it."

Kant did not refuse: "You can rest assured and wait for the arrangement." Looking at their still eager eyes, he also said affirmatively: "Recently, Stone Pass has been busy, please help me, I think if there is meritorious service established, Baron Dylan will definitely not accept it." He will be stingy with the fiefdom, and he will give it to the village as a knight leader."

Baron Dylan remained silent, but his face became more gloomy.

The Lion Knight next to him had already put his hand on the scabbard and looked at him.

This is the main reason for not speaking.

After hearing Kant's words, the vassal knights all smiled and bowed their heads and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Baron Kant, we are willing to serve you."

At this time, they didn't even want to mention Baron Dylan.

Even the vassal knight next to him turned red, not from anger, but from envy.

They didn't expect it.

Unexpectedly, Kant would directly say what they wanted most.

Obtaining the knight collar and becoming a real little noble, instead of being a vassal knight, serving others without real power, to them, all these are rootless and can be given up at any time.

As long as you have your own territory, you can slowly become a real nobleman!

But all this is just a blank promise for Kant.

smile slightly.

Looking at the eager vassal knights in front of him, he also nodded and said: "I hope you understand that I am not a stingy person. With Baron Dylan and me in the Stone Pass, it means that you are there and help us manage it." here."

"yes!"

The vassal knights responded in unison.

At this time, they are more flattering than those servants!

This is indeed a bad check, but it is a check after all. Everyone can see that Baron Dylan is no longer good, and now Baron Kant is in charge of the Stone Pass.

If you want to obtain benefits that you never dared to imagine, you can only be loyal to Baron Kant.

Of course you are right.

This allegiance is actually capped.

They can betray Baron Dylan, and they can also betray Kant.

Anyway, what Kant gave them was a blank promise. Even if it was really given to the village, in order to go one step further and become a real minor noble, they were willing to serve as the internal support of other big nobles, and yin Kant at the critical time.

In their view, Baron Dylan has lost his former authority.

Baron Kant is about to be targeted by the nobles of the Lion Principality.

It's all nothing to worry about!

The abacus in my heart was rattling, and these vassal knights bowed their heads even more obsequiously. They could change from wandering knights to vassal knights, their skins were thicker, and their sense of honor was also lower.

These wandering knights in the past were much more shameless than the wandering knight Fatis.

Just like Rolf.

In this already stable world, a wandering knight is tantamount to having no lord.

This means that they have their own problems, whether it is strength, loyalty, or personal character. Even if they encounter accidents and become wandering knights, after several years of wandering, they will completely degenerate into bad gangsters.

That's right, the bandits.

These wandering knights are not good people.

If you can't find a lord to take you in, it is not impossible to gather robbers and rely on your own force to become a bandit group that robs the house and endangers one side.

Moreover, some great lords would take the initiative to let their knights lurk out for certain purposes.

Similar to undercover.

He first became a wandering knight, and then became a vassal of the nobles because of certain things.

In the end, the task was completed at the critical moment, so that the big lord who arranged this matter could get sufficient benefits, and he could also get great merit, becoming the little nobleman he had always longed for.

The most typical example is the bandit group within the Lion Principality, which more or less has the shadow of nobles.

For example, the Storm Mercenary Group.

2 big knights.

30 knights.

The remaining nearly 600 people are also knight retinues.

Standing behind her was Ai Jiasha, Countess of East County, who was so domineering that almost no one dared to provoke her.

Now, the reason why Kant recruited this group of knights was to let them act on their own. Although loyalty must be questioned, at the very least, Kant's current scarcity of personnel has been alleviated a lot.

That's why he had to write a bad check.

It doesn't matter.

It's all Baron Dylan stuff.

Anyway, it is not his own, and Kant is not stingy at all when using it.

It's just that during the dinner, Baron Dylan's face was already dark and lifeless. If it wasn't for the fact that the Sarion Lion Knight next to him was still intimidating him, it is estimated that this already tyrannical baron would explode on the spot.

Now no one really regards this Baron Dylan as the baron of the past.

Just a mascot.

Keeping him here is to avoid making excuses.

Baron Dylan also understands this, but looking at his fiefdom, as Kant's empty checks shrink rapidly, the resentment in his heart is getting bigger and bigger, and it even makes him unable to sit comfortably in his seat and continue to eat and drink .

"I don't feel well, so I left first."

Baron Dylan stood up.

Next to him, five lion knights looked at him.

However, Baron Dylan didn't do anything, just said something to Kant, and then walked towards his room on his own. will explode.

Kant waved his hands and said with a smile: "You don't feel well, so take a good rest."

"My lord is so merciful!"

Those vassal knights flattered one after another.

But these words made Baron Dylan even more depressed, and he walked a little faster, feeling that his chest was stuffy and wanted to vomit blood at any time, which was simply unbearable.

This is his territory, his official residence!

Dinner didn't last long.

After eating and drinking, Kant also arranged for these vassal knights to disperse.

Only Fatis and the 40 Sarion lion knights remained in the hall, as well as the Swadian knights and infantry guarding around, and even the maids had been driven away.
