From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 13 Selling Yourself?

Ryan looked at Alan on the bed in shock, and didn't know what to say for a while. This guy pretends to be cool with a cold face every day, but he can say such shameless words?
"I know this is a reasonable price, but I don't have that much right now, please let me raise money for a few days." Looking at Ryan's increasingly hard face, Alan was extremely ashamed.

"It doesn't make sense. I've heard of the Davis family. It seems to be a middle-class nobleman. Even if this guy is from a distant branch, he can't afford [-] Kindlers, right?

Could it be that his family is a down-and-out aristocrat who lost his fief and title? Thinking of this, Ryan's mouth suddenly twitched. If this is the case, let alone [-] Kindlers, even [-] would be difficult to get out!

So, he tentatively asked: "May I ask, how much can you give now?"

Allen said with some embarrassment: "Probably... thirty Kindlers."

"..." Ryan held his forehead speechlessly, looking up at the roof at a 45-degree angle.

"Don't worry, I still have some military achievements that can be exchanged for coins." Allen hurriedly restored his image.

Ryan stared at it speechlessly, which meant: "If you want to be able to exchange for four hundred Kindler's military merits, can you still be in the position of brigade commander with me?"

Allen seemed to realize this too, and lowered his head dejectedly.

"Hey, Knight Allen, let me give you an idea. You owe it first, and you can pay it back to me after the military merits are calculated this time. No interest will be calculated for you."

Ryan skillfully took out a piece of parchment and a quill pen, and asked Allen to write the first IOU in his life.

"Knight Allen, are you of the blood of the Davis family?" Ryan took the hand warmer handed over by Ham, and asked in a homely manner.

Allen, who was writing at his desk, responded without raising his head: "It used to be considered, but now I can only be regarded as a desperate knight who has nowhere to join the army."

A meaningful answer.Allen's talent is not bad, and he has aristocratic spirit, which can make him come to the battlefield in desperation, either because he was expelled from the Davis family, or a major change occurred.

"What about you? I heard that your father and grandfather were knights of the kingdom, which is rare in the kingdom's history of nearly a thousand years." Allen asked curiously while putting the written IOU to dry.

In this world where the awakening of extraordinary people depends entirely on luck, the situation of Ryan's grandparents and grandchildren is indeed a rare species.With two generations throwing their heads and blood for the kingdom, Ryan was able to inherit a knightly collar, which made many nobles envious.

Because, not every noble has a fief!

"Oh, do you want to ask me about my relationship with the Black family of the Shano Kingdom? Unfortunately, my family has never had any intersection with them even if it goes back 100 years."

This is not the first time Ryan has answered this question. In Shano, known as the forest kingdom, there is also a Black family. They are famous on the mainland for their rich knights.

Some scholars have found that when superhumans are combined, the probability of offspring possessing superhuman powers will reach half.

But there are a small number of families that are different. Even if only one of them is an extraordinary person, they can reach this probability.This is the enviable case of Lane's family, as well as Shano's Black family.

"dong dong dong"

A dull bell rang, which was a signal to summon the soldiers to assemble. It was presumably that Cheers couldn't wait to launch his counterattack.

But this has nothing to do with Ryan and the others, because the viscount granted them no need to participate in this operation, and they do not need to return to the army until the new order is issued.

It seems a bit deliberate to suppress, but it's perfect for Ryan. He just wants to hang around until the end of the war, and then live a life of evil aristocrats. This is the rotten confidence of the third generation of Gui.

"When will this damn war end!" Ryan stretched his waist without image, and complained a few words.

"It won't be long. Although we reversed the defeat because of you. But looking at the entire Kuwait battlefield, the kingdom is already at a disadvantage. The sufficient preparations in the early stage are now running out, and the Andis people who were suppressed by us first have accumulated sufficient counterattack force.

If His Majesty the King does not continue to support, it is estimated that we will retreat to the kingdom's borders before next winter. "

Allen handed over the dried IOU and said casually.

Ryan raised his eyebrows, is the kingdom's army already at a disadvantage?

As if seeing Ryan's doubts, Allen took out a small stack of parchment from his body and handed it to him, "This is the military newspaper from a week ago. You were not in the barracks at the time."

Ryan took it and took a quick glance, and found that it was a report of unfavorable battles everywhere, and even two military fortresses were almost breached.

"You're right, the war is coming to an end." Ryan put down the battle report in his hand, and the way he looked at Allen couldn't help but change, although everyone could tell from the battle report that the kingdom was about to retreat.

But it can be seen that there are only a handful of people in the entire legion who can see that it will end before next winter and return to the mainland.

Because, since the spring of the previous year, His Majesty the King of the United Kingdom of Tistan, Constantine II, launched the fourth Kuwait War with the Kingdom of Andis.

With sufficient preparations in the early stage, the kingdom's army devoured half of the Andes kingdom's land on the Kuwait snowfield in a short period of time, and the situation was very good.

In many people's minds, even if they are at a disadvantage now, as long as they defend for two or three years, they can initially digest and stabilize the territory they occupy now, and they never think about giving up.

Even though many front-line commanders think so, the middle and low-level officers who see this level dare not speak, lest they be executed for disturbing the morale of the army.

Therefore, even in the battle report that reported the unfavorable situation of the battle, it was written that the offense was turned into defense, and there was no word to withdraw to the mainland.

"However, Knight Allen, how did you analyze that the kingdom will withdraw to the mainland? Do you think the kingdom will give up the benefits it has acquired?"

Ryan looked at Alan with a faint smile and said, although he already knew the answer in his heart, he still wanted to hear Alan's opinion.

Unexpectedly, Allen said without thinking: "Because this is based on the conclusion I came to command this battle."

A very arrogant and offensive sentence, Ryan narrowed his eyes and gestured for Allen to continue.

Seeing that Ryan did not interrupt him, Allen admired Ryan even more in his heart. You must know that not everyone can be calm when they hear such words, let alone listen to his detailed explanation.

This is why he believes in Ryan's character and vision, and the four hundred Kindlers he owes him.

If it was replaced by another person who couldn't see the situation clearly, he could be sued in a military court with just the words "return to the homeland", and his skin would be peeled off if he didn't die.

The kingdom's law stipulates that nobles cannot be easily punished, but it does not include a down-and-out knight without a noble title like him.

Ai Lun rationalized his thoughts and said: "There are many reasons, and there are probably the following points."
