"Old... teacher..." A few years ago, Malloryt asked Lisanna to call him teacher, but at that time, Lisanna choked at the old guy. And today, she finally added the phrase "teacher" that she had never said a few years ago.
"Girl, you have grown so big too?" Malloryt showed a happy smile. At that time, he passed by the small fishing village and had nowhere to go because of the heavy rain. He knocked on several doors and was rejected. In the end, Lisanna's family took her in.
When the old guy saw Lisanna for the first time, he fell in love with this lively and cute little girl. If calculated, Annelotte should be about the same age as her, so Malolite can always see the shadow of the daughter she has not seen for many years in Lisanna.
And after spending a few hours together, the Sword Master of the Wind, who had terrifying insight, also discovered the amazing potential contained in Lisanna's body. He is the same age as his daughter, and has an extraordinary talent for martial arts. These two points made Malolite feel itchy all the time.
So in the middle of the night, he finally failed to restrain his impulse and took Lisanna out to teach her a few tricks. And Lisanna is indeed as smart as Malloryt expected. It can be said that Lisanna can remember those simple moves once he teaches them. As for the key points of some of his moves and swordsmanship, even though Lisanna had only a partial understanding of them when he told them, she still remembered them firmly in her heart.
Malolite was very satisfied with the half-disciple he had accepted on a whim, so he still had some memories of Lisanna in the past few years. So as soon as he arrived at the military camp today and saw the cherry red hair, Malloryt was reminded of Lisanna's identity.
"Lisanna, meet the teacher!" Lisanna's mood only fluctuated for a few seconds, and then she once again became the swordswoman well known to the Knights. She wiped her tears and knelt down directly in front of Malolite.
"Ah? Girl, when did you become so obedient?!" Malloryt couldn't help being surprised. He remembered how Lisanna was a sharp-tongued little girl. How could she act like this when he saw her today? obedient? Could it be that her personality has changed? What has she experienced in the past two years
"Teacher..." Lisanna lowered her head and just remained silent.
"Okay, girl, let's get up first." Malloryt reached out to help Lisanna up. After a closer look, he realized that Lisanna had become even more beautiful in the past few years. When the old guy saw her mother at that time, he couldn't help but be a little surprised that there could be such an iconic beauty in such a small fishing village. But when he saw Lisanna today, the old guy couldn't help but sigh that she is better than her predecessor. Lisanna was actually a bit more beautiful than her mother.
"Teacher, please wait for a moment. The disciple will have to accept the punishment. After receiving the punishment, the disciple will come back to serve the teacher." Lisanna said.
"What are you talking about?!" Malloryt glared at Lisanna, and then said: "I'm here, I don't believe anyone dares to touch my apprentice!"
"Mr. Malloryt, this is our military rule..." When Alexander heard what the old guy said, he knew that today's 80% penalty would not be settled. But he still has to make some efforts. After all, the Golden Eagle Knights have never broken military rules since he took over. Today, he also doesn't want to set any precedent.
"Military regulations?" Malloryt smiled coldly: "I don't care about the past, but today, this time, I have heard clearly. Lisanna rushed alone to save you. When I went back, I was seriously injured because of you. If it were a normal person, I wouldn't be able to thank her for this kind of thing, but you actually said that you wanted to punish her? Could it be that the bullshit military regulations of the Hawke Empire are just to make the subordinates have more respect for people's hearts? Are you feeling discouraged?"
"Presumptuous!" Just shouted loudly: "Military regulations are the basis for commanding the army. Once the regulations are broken, how will His Highness be able to command the Golden Eagle Knights in the future? Old sir, please don't rely on your old age and talk nonsense here!"
"Shut up, coward." Malloryt didn't even look at Just, but just waved his hand, and then Just felt as if he had been slapped hard. He let out a cry of surprise and flew backwards.
"Hey! You are very meticulous in executing this order to flee. If it weren't for Lisanna, you probably should have been sent back to the military court in Merindl for abandoning the battlefield commander. Now you are not reluctant to blame me. Is she coming? I think the Golden Eagle Knights back then were not very powerful in my eyes, but after all, the members were still heroic figures who valued life and death over friendship. How come your generation has allowed such a guy who only knows how to talk? Don't you feel ashamed to have reached the leadership level?" Malolite spoke with full of contempt.
"The old gentleman is exaggerating. Just has always been loyal to me and has sacrificed his life to save me many times on the battlefield. He is just a little stubborn, but I believe he is definitely not the kind of person the old gentleman said." Alexander hurriedly said.
"Then Lisanna is not loyal to you?! Didn't she sacrifice her life to save you?!" Malloryt was immediately furious: "She saved your life, but because of a small disobedience, you want to Beat her to a semi-crippling condition after she has just recovered from a serious injury? Do you still have a conscience?!"
"..." Alexander lowered his head, indicating that he accepted Malolite's reprimand.
"I tell you, I'm here today, and no one can touch Lisanna's hair!" Malloryt even directly summoned his own blue flash. He inserted the long sword into the ground with his backhand and said, "I know. You did this for the sake of strict military discipline. But you should listen to the opinions of the Knights before punishing you. Rules are dead, people are alive, and everyone has a heart. I believe everyone in the Knights feels the same way about Lisa. Na doesn’t deserve to be punished. Doesn’t she?”
"Teacher..." Lisanna wanted to persuade Malolite.
"Girl, don't talk." Malloryt interrupted Lisanna directly: "Since you call me teacher, then let me listen to the teacher about this matter today."
"..." Lisanna was silent, and everyone was silent.
"Hmph!" Malolite sneered: "If any of you here have any objections to my opinion, you might as well put it forward and let me listen."
The sword soul of the Hawke Empire, the top three super strong men in the Western Continent, are here to fight with swords and swords. Seeing his menacing look, others didn't dare to speak out even if they had ideas. So at this time, the military camp fell into a deathly silence.
"What the old gentleman said makes sense, let's do this..." Alexander said with difficulty: "I will give the right to judge Lisanna to all members of the Knights, and we will hold a vote. If three-quarters of the people think that Lisanna Shana should not be punished, so let this matter go. But if it is less than three-quarters, then I can only say sorry. Old gentleman, this is the biggest concession I can make."
"..." Malolite thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I believe justice will prevail in people's hearts!"
"After all, he is still a guy who grew up in the palace. Even if he is released, he still has to come up with a high-sounding reason. It's really troublesome! It's not as sincere and refreshing as that brat." Malolite secretly thought to himself. He has no doubt about the result of this vote. Just kidding, as long as the people of the Golden Eagle Knights are clear-headed, they will definitely support Lisanna! This should be the case both emotionally and rationally!
Alexander breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Malolite agreed. Unlike his brother Joffrey, Alexander has more contact with Malloryt because of his teacher Kevin. So he knew Malolite's temper very well. He was a 100% old lunatic, and his wanton behavior was simply outrageous.
Alexander believed that if he persisted, he would definitely pull Lisanna away without any explanation. And if he dares to order people from the Golden Eagle Knights to stop him, the old guy will take action without even thinking, and even kill a few people!
The most troublesome thing is that even if he did this, Larvin would probably not punish Malolite in any substantial way. Because compared to the Gale Sword Master, even the entire Golden Eagle Knights would seem insignificant.
Because Malolite seems to be Xianyun Yehe of the Hawke Empire, but he is the buffer hub between the Hawke Empire and the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild. No matter how elite the Golden Eagle Knights are, they are just an order of knights, but the Military Intelligence Department is different. Without their support, this war would be unimaginably difficult.
Moreover, holy warriors or legendary mages like them have completely surpassed the secular rules by virtue of their own strength. Unless it is absolutely necessary, even the Hawke Empire would not want or be able to offend a super strong man. In this regard, the Stoke Empire has given the world a bloody example.
Voting took place within minutes and the counting of votes was completely public. The result was not beyond Malolite's expectations. More than 90% of the members of the Golden Eagle Knights believe that Lisanna is innocent and should not be punished. After Alexander received the result, he could only shake his head with a wry smile, and then declared Lisanna innocent.
"Wait a minute!" Malloryt spoke again at this time.
"Is there anything else, old gentleman?" Alexander was stunned. He had already declared Lisanna innocent. What else did the old guy want
"Is there anyone who hasn't voted yet?" Malloryt said suddenly.
"Huh?" Alexander was stunned. Even if someone didn't vote, one or two votes couldn't change the reality at all, and Malolite shouldn't want to change this situation. So, Alexander asked hesitantly: “I wonder who else didn’t vote?”
"You, Your Highness the Prince." Malloryt said with a smile.
"..." As soon as the Swift Wind Sword Saint spoke his words, Alexander understood what he meant.
It seems that this old guy not only wants Lisanna to be acquitted, but also wants Alexander to apologize to her. Of course, the old guy also knew that it would be unrealistic to ask for an apology so bluntly, so he came up with this idea.
Let Alexander himself vote, and his choice represents his attitude. If he chooses Lisanna to be guilty, then this will definitely make Malolite dissatisfied again. And if he chooses to be innocent, then this can be regarded as another disguised submission of Alexander, and it is equivalent to him making amends to Lisanna. This old guy's reputation as a protector of shortcomings is really not just a boast!
"Okay!" Alexander showed a helpless smile, then picked up a small stone and walked towards the two voting basins.
Guilty on the left, innocent on the right, Alexander raised his hand.
But before he could throw the stone, another commotion broke out outside the military camp.
"Alexander! How dare you do this! I thought you would repent after scolding you, but you still have to punish Lisanna, right? I'm here to settle the score with you! Get out of here!" Regnar said. He ran towards the military camp menacingly, cursing at the same time.
