Eagle’s Glory

"When you see this moment of me, you have the best chance of your life!"

As soon as Aigron's words fell, his words were immediately translated into Greek by Edmund Dantes next to him, and then the lobby immediately fell into dead silence.

Although he was personally impassioned and confident, the people who looked at each other in dismay did not get excited because of this.

Obviously, the people present are all adults, and they have already endured too many turmoil in this era of turmoil. How could they be excited because of others' words?

On the contrary, when they saw a young man who seemed to be inexperienced talking about it, they didn't laugh on the spot, and it was already giving Aegron's face-of course, he was also concerned about the face of the guards next to him.

Aegron was not surprised or angry at their reaction, he had known for a long time that would be the result.

These days, if you want to convince others, you have to come up with real dry goods to be useful.

He also stopped talking, but turned back and made a gesture to Edmund Dantes.

Then, the door opened, and two more people entered the hall.

These two were his **** captain Andre Davout and his teacher, Captain Foresti, and they were carrying a box in their hands.

Although the box is heavy, the two of them have very steady hands, and their steps are not chaotic at all. It can be seen that their skills are good.

Under everyone's attention, they carried the box to the center of the hall, and then put it on the ground.

Then, the two of them looked at the young man next to them together, waiting for his instructions.

Just like them, all the people present immediately focused their attention on the boy again.

As if it were the climax of the drama, Aegron nodded lightly.

After the two got the order, they immediately put their hands on the lid of the box, then grabbed the tab and slammed it upwards.

In an instant, the dazzling brilliance of the jewelry covered the original candlelight in the room, making the hall seem to light up a bit.

"Wow!" Accompanied by the pearlescent light, everyone was almost unable to restrain their amazement.

The primitive instinct to be fascinated by gems almost made them forget to think for a moment.

"How is it? Now you say, is there any truth to my words?!" Aegron asked loudly to them.

There is no need for an Edmund Dantes translation now, and everyone can guess what he meant.

Indeed, what could be more sensible in the world than gold and silver jewelry?

Having money is the greatest strength.

At this time, everyone understood that the young man in front of him not only had a resounding surname, but also held a huge amount of wealth in his hands.

And this is what Aegron wants them to know.

At this time, the most important thing for Aegron is not to hide himself, but to make his reputation as soon as possible and let everyone know him.

Therefore, there is no need to hide now, it is time to let the world know that they have huge treasures in their hands.

With Andre Davout and Captain Foresti guarding them, he believes the treasures are safe enough - at least they will all use their lives to fulfill their obligations.

Of course, he also had to weave a convincing source for the treasure, but that didn't bother him.

"To tell you the truth, before the fall of the empire, in order to plan for my future livelihood, my father entrusted to his last supporters, carrying a large number of jewelry from his collection, and hiding in anonymity. These supporters are for our family. Suffered a great disaster, but their hopes were not let down, I left Vienna, found them, and they completed their mission with tears. God has given me wealth, of course I will use them in the most In a just cause! So here I am, for the freedom of this land!"

Edmund Dantes translated the words of the young man line by line.

Among the people present, only he knew that the other party's words were not true, but he was also convinced that this treasure was indeed found by the supporters of the Bonaparte family - otherwise, how could His Majesty find it?

It's just that he still doesn't know who the person who found the treasure is, so it's impossible for His Majesty to say it in order to keep the secret...

Things have passed for so long, and Edmund Dantes has already let go of that unwillingness and regret. For him, when the treasure falls into His Majesty's hands, he can make the best use of it, and as long as he is loyal and dedicated, His Majesty will not treat him badly.

"Sir..." Panos-Kolokotronis finally reacted, and then he looked at the young man, "Is this the wealth you brought to support us?"

"If you think so, it's not wrong." Aegron replied with a smile, "It's just that my way of supporting you is not donations, but to arm myself with my wealth as funds, and ultimately help you win your independence."

Before Panos could react, he looked at the people present again, "Did you see it? Everyone! I have brought not only justice, but also great wealth, no matter which of you are willing to Help me and make my own contribution to the cause of the Greek nation, then I will definitely pay my dues! God testifies, I will never fail anyone who has helped me!"

After his words were translated, it immediately caused a commotion in the field.

At least, he has proved his strength enough to bribe anyone present.

Of course, he would never go the way of Byron.

Byron came to Greece with money, but he was taken as a victim, and everyone was deceiving him, trying to get money from him, Byron's assets were quickly exhausted; Far more than Byron, but also impossible to fill this bottomless pit.

So, from the beginning, he has to let people know that it is okay to get money from himself, but there must be some price to pay.

He turned to look at Edmund Dantes again and winked.

Edmund Dantes understood and walked out of the lobby quietly.

Soon, he came back again, and this time, a person was quietly followed behind him.

"Isaac Valleolo!" Someone called out his name immediately.

This little-known mountain bandit leader was wearing white clothes, a pleated Faustanela skirt, and a small red cap on his head, just like a soldier of the Independent Army.

Under the leadership of the Count of Monte Cristo, he walked in front of Aigron, took off his hat reverently, and bowed at his feet respectfully.

This man used to be an officer under Ioannina Pasha, and later became the leader of the mountain bandit. He was taken in by Edmund Dantès before. After this period of time, he has decided to submit to Napoleon. The subordinate of His Majesty II.

And today Aigron just happened to use him as a propaganda material to let everyone see how generous and open-minded leader he is.

"Subscriber, please state your name." Edmund Dantes stood aside and asked the other party seriously.

"Isaac Valleolo." The bandit kneeling on the ground replied in a pious and solemn tone.

"Why did you come?" Edmund Dantes asked again.

"I used to live in the four corners of the world, had to become a bandit for my livelihood, and even drew swords against my fellow countrymen. I am deeply guilty of this. I have prayed countless times to God to give me a chance for redemption..." Isaac Balleo According to the lines he had told him beforehand, he answered fluently, "And now, God has given this opportunity, and I am convinced that this is the best opportunity for me to atone for my sins, and it is also the best opportunity for me to fight for my compatriots! So I volunteered to join the Knights of Fontainebleau, and I prayed to the Captain to give me the opportunity to open the door for me, and I will use my life to fulfill my oath!"

Aegron didn't quite understand what the other party said, but it didn't matter, he naturally knew what the other party would say.

This guy looks very sensible...well, worth cultivating.

He winked at Edmund Dantes covertly, praising the other party for his ability to do things, and Edmund Dantes also nodded lightly, saying that this is what he should do.

"I'm very happy that there are such passionate righteous people in this great land. Your love for the nation and your longing for freedom are all worthy of my admiration. I agree to your request." He replied solemnly.

Then, he said what he wanted to say to everyone.

"In my eyes, there are no French or Greeks, only loyal warriors and cowards! As long as you dare to sacrifice and charge, you are the warriors I admire! So I accept you, Isaac Valle Oleo, I admit that you are a member of my knight order and enjoy the same treatment as everyone else. I promise you that as long as you come under my command, I will not discriminate, but treat you equally. But the prerequisite for all this is that you must be a warrior, and you must accept my command and serve me unconditionally... Can you do it?"

After Aigron finished speaking, he looked at the other party seriously, waiting for Edmund Dantes to translate it to the other party kneeling on the ground.

Of course, even if he didn't translate, Isaac Valleolo knew what the boy in front of him would say.

But the script must go through the process, and even if everyone knows that it is acting, they must continue to act the scene with a serious face.

How many similar dramas are staged every year in the political arena of various countries?

Power and money give a sense of gravitas to even the most contrived performances.

"I am honored!" Isaac Valleolo answered without any hesitation, "please grant this honor! Your lord!"

Aegron didn't say a word, but took out a sword from the guard next to him and put it on his shoulder, in this way he recruited the first Greek member of his knight order.

Of course he knew that Isaac Valleolo was a mountain bandit leader before. Although he was not the kind of bandit who did all kinds of evil, he still had a lot of blood debts, but who cares about this now?

From a murderer to a man who entered the house, he is not the only one in this world.

The fate of man is so unpredictable.

Just under everyone's attention, Aegron completed his brief knighthood canonization ceremony.

Then, he immediately walked to the opened box, stretched out his hand and copied it gently from the inside, took out a small gem from it, and put it in the other's hand.

"As a reward for your loyalty, I give you this gift. I hope you can always maintain the courage and sense of justice in your heart to fight for my cause and the cause of your nation! May God bless us."

"May God bless it!" Kneeling on the ground, Isaac Balleolio took the gem with both hands, and saluted the young man reverently, and then got up from the ground respectfully.

After this scene was over, the silence in the hall was broken again, as if time had finally begun to flow.

The people in the hall began to whisper again, but this time, there was a little more greed and eagerness in their sight.

Aegron's performance let them know that this young man had a lot of money in his hand and was willing to spend it generously - but his conditions were also very simple, that is, he must join his command and swear allegiance to him.

Is this really a good deal? Everyone has different plans and measures in their hearts, but it is obvious that his performance in this scene has left a deep impression on everyone at least.

Panos-Kolokotronis was shocked by this sudden attack, and finally regained his composure.

"You never told me you were going to do this tonight." He walked over to Aegron and complained cautiously to him.

"Why, don't I have the right to recruit people in Greece?" Aegron asked calmly. "Did I come here just to give you the money and watch it by myself?"

This question left Panos speechless for a moment.

"No doubt, of course you have this right..." After a while, he could only answer, "But I think that the wealth you have exposed may disturb people's hearts and have a bad influence. If everyone only Money, instead of thinking about doing our duty, how should we defend against the enemy?"

He said this, and part of it was indeed a worry in his heart.

Their father and son definitely don't have as much money as this young man now. If the young man in front of him really threw money around to buy people, how many people would obey their father and son's orders?

Aegron also knew that in a sense, he had touched the basic interests of the other party.

Today is still the first day back on the mainland, and he does not plan or need to break up with his allies so soon.

For him, making a name for himself today is enough.

"Don't worry, my money is hard-earned, and I won't throw money at random when I see a person... I will recruit the people I need very carefully, and will never affect the authority of your father and son. , I can guarantee this." Aegron looked at each other sincerely, "I don't want my knights to become a Greek legion, because for me, my destination will never be here, but in another place."

His assurance finally reassured Panos a little.

"Then I wish you an early realization of your great cause of recovery." He could only answer.
