my pokemon player.

"That's not good. I'm just here to mediate the war. I have no intention of occupying Rose Town." Ryan pretended to decline.

"How can you claim to have occupied Qiangwei Town? You are here to protect our Qiangwei Town. Guanhai City has abandoned us. With the current strength of Qiangwei Town, it will definitely be coveted by other territories."

"Rather than being invaded by them, it would be better for you to take over Rose Town. At least you are a benevolent lord and will not harm the residents of Rose Town."

Lancaster said sincerely.

When Ryan saw that Lancaster's words and expression did not seem to be fake, he understood that the Rose Baron really wanted to surrender to him.

This is interesting. It seems that Lancaster is not stupid. He not only has eyes and can see the current situation clearly, but also can make the best choice for himself without hesitation.

He knew that Ryan must have thoughts about Rose Town, and he couldn't change the result. In this case, he took the initiative to let Ryan take over Rose Town.

By doing this, he could not only sell Ryan a favor, but also gain a good reputation. He took the initiative to hand over the territory to Ryan for the sake of the residents of Rose Town. He was not forced to occupy it, and the glory of the Rose family was not completely lost.

Moreover, it will be difficult for Ryan to kill him in the future. They have surrendered voluntarily and handed over their territory to you. If you kill them, who will dare to surrender to you in the future?

Not only can Ryan not kill him, but he also has to protect his safety. If anything happens to Lancaster, others will definitely think that it was Ryan who did it, which will undoubtedly damage Ryan's reputation.

Lancaster is equivalent to taking out an insurance policy on his life. This guy is indeed a bit clever.

However, it is reasonable to think about it. The Rose family has always been good at assessing the situation. As the direct successor of the Rose family, Lancaster naturally understands this, otherwise he would not kowtow to the merchants of Guanhai City.

Thinking of this, Ryan gave Lancaster a thoughtful look. He didn't mind the other party being clever. Lancaster's move was just to protect the family honor and his own life.

He was able to take the initiative to hand over the territory to Ryan, which saved Ryan a lot of trouble.

Ryan had no intention of killing Lancaster, so he followed suit and said:

"What Baron Lancaster said makes sense. Rose Town is indeed unsafe now and may be invaded by other territories at any time. Then I will temporarily take over Rose Town. Please rest assured that I will never let the citizens of Rose Town be harmed." harm."

Lancaster broke out in a cold sweat after being stared at by Ryan. He knew that Ryan had seen all the little things in his heart. Fortunately, Ryan had no intention of killing him, and he could finally let go of his worries.

So he quickly said to Ryan in a flattering tone:
"Rose Town will definitely become better than it is now under your protection. I would like to thank you on behalf of the citizens of Rose Town."

Herman on the side looked a little complicated after hearing this. Although he had already been mentally prepared for his lord to surrender to Ryan, he still felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Lancaster surrendering to Ryan so eagerly.

In name, Lane only took over Rose Town temporarily, but Herman knew very well that the future owner of Rose Town would no longer be Lancaster, but Lane, and the Rose family's hundreds of years of rule over Rose Town would be cut off.

This made Herman, who had sworn allegiance to the Rose family, very uncomfortable, but he could also understand Lancaster. The new Baron Rose did not want to be a lord, nor did he have the talent to be a lord.

But he is the only direct heir to the Rose family, so he can do it even if he doesn't want to. Lancaster has been gritting his teeth and insisting on it over the years. The pressure on him is very great, for fear that the Rose family's inheritance will be cut off in his hands.

Unfortunately, Rose Town was invaded by Ironthorn Town in the end. When Baron Bach wanted to kill Lancaster, his last line of defense collapsed.

Rather than maintaining his rule over Rose Town, he still wanted to save his own life and the inheritance of the Rose family, so he would surrender to Baron Bach without hesitation.

But Baron Bach did not accept his surrender. Instead, he insisted on killing him on the grounds that the big steel snake was out of control. This made Lancaster even more frightened. He originally thought that handing over Rose Town would save his life, but this was not the case. .

Therefore, when Lane defeated Bach, Lancaster was so eager to surrender to Lane. He was frightened by Bach, fearing that Lane would kill him for any reason like Bach.

Herman also grew up watching Lancaster. He knew that his lord had been pampered since he was a child and had never encountered death threats. Therefore, when Lancaster faced death, it was not surprising that he surrendered. .

Understandably, Herman still felt disappointed when he saw Lancaster surrendering to two lords one after another.

Presumably Knight Commander Seiler was also disappointed with Lancaster, otherwise he would not be silent at this moment. He definitely wanted to denounce Lancaster's surrender, but he could not disrespect the lord to whom he was loyal. Able to express dissatisfaction and anger in silence.

But Knight Commander Seiler could not be silent for long. He was different from Herman. Herman was just a clerk, a civilian, and had no impact on Ryan's takeover of Rose Town. At most, it could help Ryan take over Rose Town faster.

Sailer is the knight captain of Rose Town, managing the armed force of the Rose Town Knights. Although those knights do not obey his orders, Ryan does not know this. As long as Ryan is not stupid, he will definitely ask Sailer to Pay allegiance to him.

As expected, Ryan soon noticed Sailor beside him, and he said to Lancaster:
"The knight next to you should be your knight captain. He seems to be very capable. I have also heard of the Kentero Knights he leads. It is said that they are not weaker than the One-Horned Rhino Knights of Ironthorn Town."

Lancaster heard this and immediately said to Ryan:
"Knight Commander Sailer is indeed very good, but I am not qualified as a lord, which hinders him. This is why the Cavaliers lost to Ironthorn Town. Since you are so optimistic about him, why not include him in your group?" Under your command, Knight Commander Sailer will definitely be able to exert his full strength."

Seeing that Lancaster wanted to pledge his allegiance to Ryan, Sailor couldn't help but frown slightly.

Their family has been loyal to the Rose Family for generations, how could they change their allegiance at will? After the news spreads, other nobles will think that their family is greedy for life and fearful of death, and is disloyal and unjust.

"My lord, I."

Just when Sailer was about to refuse to pledge allegiance to Ryan, he saw Lancaster cast a pleading look at him, and Herman on the side also shook his head slightly at him, indicating that he should not refuse.

In the end, Sailer's loyalty overcame his family's reputation. He sighed and said:

"I don't have any objections. I just obey the Lord's orders."

Lancaster immediately beamed when he heard this. He was really afraid that Sailor would refuse to be loyal to Ryan. It would be a trivial matter to cause Ryan's dissatisfaction. If Ryan thought that he could still influence the Knights of Rose Town, his life might not be saved. Guaranteed.

"Then what are you waiting for? Come and pledge your allegiance to Baron Lane." Lancaster said impatiently, and those who didn't know thought it was him who was being pledged.

"As ordered!"

Having made his decision, Sailer no longer hesitated. He walked quickly to Ryan, then knelt down on one knee, took off the knight's sword from his waist, and raised his hands above his head.Ryan did not take the knight sword immediately, but looked at Lancaster with interest.

He had seen the little actions of these people just now, and he also knew that Lancaster was so anxious to get Sailor to be loyal to him in order not to make him suspicious.

To be honest, he didn't value Sailer that much. Ever since he knew that the growth rate of players was much higher than that of natives, he decided to focus on cultivating players.

Especially in this war, the player also brought him a lot of surprises, defeating the powerful Knight of Ironthorn Town. This made Ryan value the player even more, and the player will be his main force in the future.

The reason why Ryan mentioned Seiler was, on the one hand, to knock Lancaster away from any petty thoughts and to be a mascot honestly. On the other hand, it was because Firefly Town currently had insufficient troops and had to rely on These knights came to stabilize the situation.

After he successfully takes over the territory, he will be able to summon more players, and these knights will no longer be needed.

As I said before, Ryan doesn't like the existing aristocratic enfeoffment system. He doesn't want to hand over the management of his land and territory to others, but the territory cannot be protected by players alone. They can't be online all the time. They still need to Aboriginal troops.

That's why he allowed the militia to conquer Pokémon and train new troops for the territory. At the same time, he decided not to entrust his own knights' land, but to reward them in kind and honor.

The knight followers in Firefly Town were all trained by him and White, and they were loyal to him, so naturally they had no problem with this.

But the knights in Rose Town are different. They will definitely not let go of their power easily. Therefore, Ryan has to cut through the mess quickly. After using these knights, he will find an opportunity to abolish their knighthood.

Ryan has already thought about asking the knights from Rose Town to follow him to Ironthorn Town and temporarily take charge of the security there.

They have no foundation in Ironthorn Town and are like floating ducks on the water. When the time comes, Ryan can take care of them at will.

When Lancaster saw that Ryan had not taken over the knight sword for a long time, he thought that Ryan was dissatisfied with Sailer's hesitation just now, so he quickly explained to Ryan:

"Baron Ryan, please forgive me. Knight Commander Seiler has a stubborn temper and does not know how to adapt. However, he is very loyal to his lord. As long as you accept his allegiance, he will never rebel. I can accept this. Promise to you.”

"Furthermore, he has an outstanding character and is not vain. He could have inherited his father's fiefdom, but he returned the fiefdom to me on the grounds of insufficient merit, saying that he would divide the fiefdom after he made meritorious deeds."

When Ryan heard this, he immediately became interested. This knight captain did not have a fiefdom. If Sailer was as loyal and upright as Lancaster said, he could be considered a talent and worth cultivating.

Lancaster continued to say good things about Sailer, like a businessman selling products, which made Sailor so embarrassed and angry that he wanted to draw his sword and kill himself on the spot.

Ryan also noticed this, and he quickly said apologetically:

"I am not dissatisfied with Knight Commander Sailer. Knight Commander Sailer is so outstanding. Of course I am happy to accept his allegiance. I was just thinking about the etiquette of knight loyalty. I am a little embarrassed to say that this is my first time. Accept the knight's allegiance."

When Sailor heard what Ryan said, he felt much better. He thought that Ryan was deliberately insulting him by leaving him here. If it weren't for Baron Lancaster, he would not suffer such an insult even if he died.

However, Baron Lane said that this was the first time he accepted the allegiance of a knight. How could this be possible? His knights had just defeated the Knights of Ironthorn Town. Could it be that none of the knights swore allegiance to Lane?

Lancaster was also puzzled by this and asked cautiously:
"Then these knights you brought are..."

"Oh, some of them are not knights, and some are still knights' retinues." Ryan replied nonchalantly.

"What? They're not even knights?!"

Lancaster looked in disbelief. He felt that Ryan was lying to him, but he thought that there was no need for Ryan to lie to him.

In other words, these knights are really just knights' retinues, not even official knights. However, these knights' retinues defeated the Iron Thorn Town Knights. This is too unreasonable!

Unexpectedly, the knights of Iron Thorn Town could not even defeat the knight retinues of Firefly Town. It seemed that their strength was no more than this.

Lancaster first despised the Knights of Ironthorn Town, and then thought of the scene where his own knights were defeated by the Knights of Ironthorn Town. His mood instantly became bad. His knights were not even as good as the Knights of Ironthorn Town. !

I really don’t know what they do for food, they waste so much money!

Sailer was also a little surprised after hearing Ryan's answer. He had seen the strength of the knights of Ironthorn Town before.

I have to admit that the knights of Ironthorn Town are much stronger than them, but the knights of Firefly Town can annihilate the knights of Ironthorn Town. This shows the strength of Firefly Town.

It seems that not only the lords of Yinghuo Town are powerful, but their knights should not be underestimated. If I can join them, my strength will also be improved.

Sailer had some expectations in his heart. He originally wanted to improve his strength and follow in his father's footsteps to protect Rose Town. Now that he has the opportunity to improve his strength, of course he will be moved and no longer resist the idea of ​​being loyal to Ryan. .

Ryan knew that Lancaster and Sailor had made a wrong assessment of the players' strength, but he didn't bother to explain. Anyway, he never said that the players' hard power was stronger than the Knights of Ironthorn Town.

Besides, judging from the growth rate of players, their strength will soon surpass the Knights of Ironthorn Town, so they are right.

Ryan took the knight's sword from Sailor's hand, pulled it out, and then placed the knight's sword on Sailor's shoulder.

Upon seeing this, Sailer immediately said solemnly:
"I, Knight Sailer, swear by the honor of the knight and the blood of my family, and dedicate my loyalty to the great Baron Lane. Your will is the direction I move forward, and I will defend this loyalty and honor with my life!"

Ryan responded to Sailer's oath: "I, Baron Ryan, in the name of the Lord of Firefly Town, accept your allegiance. I hope you can continue to abide by the knight's oath and fight for loyalty and glory!"

Ryan handed the knight's sword back to Sailer, which also marked the establishment of the oath, and Sailer officially became the first official knight under Ryan's command.

And Ryan's panel that had been silent for a long time also sent a prompt at this moment. Ryan thought it should be an achievement reward.

When I opened the panel, I saw that it was indeed an achievement reward, and two achievements had been achieved at once. (End of chapter)
