My Pokémon Player
Chapter 191 Pledge of Allegiance
"This is not good. I am only here to mediate the war. I have no intention of occupying Rose Town." Ryan pretended to refuse.
"How can you call this occupying Rose Town? You are here to protect our Rose Town. Guanhai City has abandoned us. With the current strength of Rose Town, it will definitely be coveted by other territories."
"Instead of being invaded by them, it is better to hand over Rose Town to you. At least you are a kind lord and will not harm the residents of Rose Town."
Lancaster said sincerely.
Ryan saw that Lancaster's words and expression did not seem to be false, so he understood that the Rose Baron really wanted to surrender to him.
This is interesting. It seems that Lancaster is not stupid. Not only does he have eyes and can see the current situation clearly, but he can also make the most beneficial choice for himself without hesitation.
He knew that Ryan must have ideas about Rose Town, and he could not change this result. In this case, he took the initiative to ask Ryan to take over Rose Town.
Doing this would not only do Ryan a favor, but also give him a good reputation. He gave the territory to Ryan for the sake of the residents of Rose Town. It was not occupied by force, and the glory of the Rose Family was not completely lost.
And it would be difficult for Ryan to kill him in the future. He surrendered and handed over the territory to you. If you killed him, who would dare to surrender to you in the future?
Ryan could not kill him, but also had to protect his safety. If Lancaster had any accidents, others would think that it was Ryan who did it, which would undoubtedly damage Ryan's reputation.
Lancaster was like insuring his own life. This guy was really a little smart.
But it was reasonable to think about it. The Rose Family had always been good at judging the situation. Lancaster, as the direct heir of the Rose Family, naturally understood this, otherwise he would not have kowtowed to the merchants of Guanhai City.
Thinking of this, Ryan looked at Lancaster meaningfully. He didn't mind the other party being clever. Lancaster's move was just to protect the family's 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 said:
"What Baron Lancaster said makes sense. Rose Town is indeed not safe now and may be invaded by other territories at any time. Then I will take over Rose Town temporarily. Please rest assured that I will never let the people of Rose Town be harmed."
Lancaster was stared at by Ryan and broke into a cold sweat. He knew that Ryan had seen through his little tricks. Fortunately, Ryan did not mean to kill him, so he could finally put down his hanging heart.
So he hurriedly said to Ryan in a flattering tone:
"Rose Town will definitely become better under your protection than it is now. I thank you on behalf of the people of Rose Town."
Hermann, who was standing aside, had a complicated expression after hearing this. Although he had already prepared for his lord to surrender to Ryan, he still felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Lancaster surrender to Ryan so eagerly.
In name, Ryan only took over Rose Town temporarily, but Herman knew very well that the future owner of Rose Town would no longer be Lancaster, but Ryan, and the Rose Family's hundreds of years of rule over Rose Town would end.
This made Herman, who swore allegiance to the Rose Family, very uncomfortable, but he could also understand Lancaster. The new Rose Baron did not want to be a lord and had no talent for being a lord.
However, the Rose Family had only him as a direct heir, and he had to be one even if he didn't want to. Lancaster had been gritting his teeth and insisting over the years. He was under great pressure, fearing that the Rose Family would be cut off from inheritance in his hands.
Unfortunately, Rose Town was invaded by Ironthorn Town in the end. When Baron Bach wanted to kill Lancaster, the last line of defense in his heart collapsed.
Compared with maintaining the rule over Rose Town, he still wanted to save his life and the inheritance of the Rose Family, so he surrendered to Baron Bach without hesitation.
But Baron Bach did not accept his surrender. Instead, he insisted on killing him on the grounds that the Steel Snake was out of control. This made Lancaster even more frightened. He thought that handing over Rose Town would save his life, but it turned out not to be the case.
Therefore, when Ryan defeated Bach, Lancaster was so eager to surrender to Ryan. He was frightened by Bach and was afraid that Ryan would find a reason to kill him like Bach.
Herman also watched Lancaster grow up. He knew that his lord had been spoiled since childhood and had never encountered death threats, so it was not surprising that Lancaster surrendered when facing death.
It was understandable, but when Herman saw Lancaster surrender to two lords in succession, he was still disappointed.
Presumably, Knight Commander Seller was also disappointed with Lancaster, otherwise he would not be silent at this moment. He must have wanted to denounce Lancaster's surrender, but he could not disrespect the lord he was loyal to, so he could only express his dissatisfaction and anger in silence.
But Knight Commander Sailer could not remain silent for long. He was different from Herman. Herman was just a clerk, a civilian, and had no influence on Ryan's taking over Rose Town. At most, he could help Ryan take over Rose Town faster.
But Sailer was the Knight Commander of Rose Town, managing the armed force of the Rose Town Knights. Although those knights did not obey his orders, Ryan did not know this. As long as Ryan was not stupid, he would definitely ask Sailer to be loyal 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.
"Lord, I."
Just when Sailor 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, Sailor'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 be in danger. 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 you command!"
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 and defeated 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 noble 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 they naturally 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 Iron Thorn 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's 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. Guaranteed 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, but 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 retinue 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 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!
Sailor 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 entire army of Ironthorn Town knights. 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 player's growth rate, their strength will soon surpass the Knights of Ironthorn Town, so they are right.
Ryan took the knight's sword from Sailer'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 Sailor 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.
In fact, Sailer should have sworn allegiance to Ryan after breaking off his oath with Lancaster, but I couldn't find the ceremony for the medieval knights to break off their oath, so I just skipped it, and everyone just assumed that Lancaster gave up on his own initiative. The oath between them~
