The afternoon sun shone down, as if covering Colin with a divine halo.
Conley Knight was overwhelmed by the aura of the young paladin, and it took him a while to recover. He quickly bowed and saluted, but then he still gritted his teeth and asked:
"Count Angelet, please forgive my offense, but Yulongcheng has always prohibited the private army of local lords from entering, so please evacuate the blood cavalry army as soon as possible!"
Colin smiled faintly and asked back:
"You want me to withdraw the blood cavalry, then, who will guard the safety of Yulong City?"
"Of course it's the Imperial Guard!"
"The Imperial Guard?" Colin sarcastically sarcastically said, "You should have been present in the battle last night, right? What did the Imperial Guard do? A mere four or five hundred orcs almost broke through the west city gate, and even Commander Pa The knights of Mira are all dead!
With such a performance, how can I believe that you have the ability to protect Yulong City? "
Knight Conley blushed immediately, because the performance of the Guards last night was indeed very unbearable.
"Count Angelet, in the battle last night, the orcs broke through the city gate because of the traitors in the imperial guards. Moreover, the orc team last night was extremely powerful, and all of them were skull crushers..."
"That's enough, Knight Conley." Colin interrupted bluntly, "No amount of excuses can cover up the incompetence of the Guards, and it will only make me look down on you. Now that the Blood Cavalry has entered the city, if you are dissatisfied with it , you can appeal to the Senate."
After finishing speaking, Colin ignored Knight Conley, turned around and walked away.
Knight Conley stood where he was, looking at the blood cavalry column that was still pouring into Yulong City, his eyes gradually became dazed.
But they said that Ke Lin wandered around the city for a while, and then someone came to him again.
But this time it wasn't such an insignificant person as Knight Conley, but Baron Heidegger, Prime Minister of the Empire.
"Count Angelet, you are breaking the rules!"
At the first meeting, Baron Heidegger was very rude.
Ke Lin didn't care about the old prime minister's attitude, and said softly:
"My lord, the performance of the Imperial Guards last night was really disappointing. Moreover, even the commander Pamela Knight was killed in battle. There are even rumors that there are traitors in the Imperial Guards. Therefore, at this very moment, I really can't hand over the important task of guarding Yulongcheng to the guards who have lost their commander.
But don't worry, after the new emperor succeeds to the throne and re-appoints a new commander of the Imperial Guard, I will withdraw the Blood Cavalry Army from Yulong City. "
Baron Heidegger snorted coldly and said, "Count Angelet, why did the Guards perform so badly last night? Don't you know why?"
Ke Lin raised his brows, and said with a worried expression, "Master Prime Minister, what do you mean?"
Baron Heidegger stared into Colin's eyes, and said coldly:
"Although I don't have any evidence, and I can't figure out how you did it, but this time, the Pamela knight died in battle, and Ryan was also killed by Darren. This will help Princess Judy's succession The two strongest competitors were removed.
Count Angelet, can't this be a coincidence? "
Facing Baron Heidegger's accusation, Colin didn't panic at all, and said lightly:
"Prime Minister, since you have no evidence, please don't question my reputation. What's more, isn't Princess Judy's succession to the throne a matter of course? Do you really think that those illegitimate children are qualified to be the masters of the empire?"
"The succession to the throne should be determined by the Senate and the church. Of course, I also agree that Princess Judy is the most suitable successor at the moment. However, you can't break the rules because of this..."
"I broke the rules?" Colin interrupted with a sneer, "What does Prince Leahy want to do in Dongquan Town? Who persuaded Prince Harrison to assassinate Gregory? And what happened in the East, you should Don't know yet?"
"What happened to the East Territory?"
"My student, Ector St. Pross, the first heir to the Duke of the East, is dead!"
"What? He...how did he die?"
"He died of illness." Colin smiled coldly, his face a bit hideous, "Do you believe this reason?"
Baron Heidegger didn't speak, it seemed that he was digesting the news, and he was puzzled for a long time before saying:
"But in the east... who else has the guts to touch Ector St. Pross?"
"I will investigate this matter myself soon!" Colin gritted his teeth, "So, Mr. Prime Minister, it's not that I want to break the rules, but that other people don't want to follow the rules at all!
If I still foolishly followed the rules, I would be dead by now!
Today's Glorious Empire is on the verge of collapse of order, and all kinds of clowns have already begun to do whatever they can to seize the power of the empire. Baron Heidegger, tell yourself, in this situation, who else has the power besides me? Ability, qualified to reshape the order of the empire? "
Baron Heidegger stared fixedly at the young earl in front of him who was uttering wild words, remained silent, and spoke again after a while:
"Count Angelet, I want to know, what exactly do you want?"
"Of course it is to restore the Glorious Empire to its former order and glory." Colin replied lightly.
But obviously this slightly perfunctory answer did not satisfy Baron Heidegger, his cloudy eyes were still fixed on Colin, as if he would not give up until he got a satisfactory answer today.
Colin sighed, as if he was touched by Baron Heidegger's persistence, and asked in a deep voice:
"Master Prime Minister, do you know my real life experience?"
Baron Heidegger's eyes flickered slightly, and said:
"Since you can be promoted to the sanctuary, it means that you must be the blood of the paladin family! Among the seven paladin families of the Glory Empire, only the San Chapman family and the San Theon family have unknown inheritance. Of course, you cannot be a sanctuary." The descendants of the Theon family, therefore, can only be St. Chapman!"
Colin nodded decisively and said:
"That's right. I am a descendant of the St. Chapman family. So, should you know my purpose?"
The vigilance in Baron Heidegger's eyes gradually dissipated, saying:
"You want to restore the status and reputation of the St. Chapman family?"
"That's right." Colin nodded, but then his eyes flashed fiercely, "Moreover, I want to realize the political ideals of the St. Chapman family!"
Of course, Baron Heidegger knew what the political ideals of the St. Chapman family were. The reason why they were exterminated by the church was also because of this.
After understanding Colin's "true intentions", Baron Heidegger finally stopped embarrassing him, and just left a sentence:
"Count Angelet, I just hope that during this process, you can restrain yourself, don't cause more killings, and don't wantonly break the rules. You know, any behavior that breaks the rules will bring backlash."
After speaking, he turned and left.
Ke Lin looked at the back of the old prime minister, and suddenly muttered to himself—
The identity of the descendants of the St. Chapman family turned out to be so useful!
