Master Overlord - Chapter 394
Greenberg, dusk.
Under the guidance of the servant holding the candle, Earl Kiel Green took a difficult step.
He wore a pair of soft leather boots. When walking, his feet were deep and shallow. His shoulders fluctuated unevenly. His whole body shook as if he stepped on a rugged muddy path instead of hard stone bricks.
The two guards who followed behind also kept vigilant and followed slowly to prevent accidents that might happen at any time.
Until he was safe and went all the way from the bedroom of the tower to the candlelight restaurant, the two guards slowly relaxed and stopped waiting outside the hall.
“Father.” jekun green held the back of the chair with both hands, looked at his father walking, and waited to serve him to take his seat.
“Go back to your place,” said Kiel green in a deep voice. “You don’t need anyone to help with this little thing.”
When his son loosened the back of the chair, his right foot worked hard, rotated and measured his body, his shoulders fluctuated, took a step to the left, then supported the armrest of the chair with both hands, slightly bent his right leg, straightened his left leg, pulled the chair behind him to the bottom of his ass and sat down slowly.
From the moment he entered the restaurant to the end of his seat, although he looked like a swaying, funny and clumsy duck, the people at the table were just watching quietly, and their faces didn’t show the slightest look of urge or ridicule – those who dared to do so in the castle had lost their lives!
“It’s inconvenient for your legs and feet. I hope it didn’t keep you waiting.” Kiel green looked calm and his eyes fell on walish Davidson and Bishop robs on the right. “Let’s start eating. Let’s talk while eating. I hope these foods will suit your appetite.”
Under the candlelight, the restaurant was filled with the aroma of food.
The main food for dinner is roast sheep covered with spices and honey, plus pea broth, fruit cheese salad, freshly baked bread and various drinks.
“You can enjoy such delicious food as soon as you get off the horse. What’s the matter with waiting?” said walish, sitting on the right hand side of bishop robs, smiling and looking at his sister opposite.
Before Kiel green arrived, he had drunk two cups full of River fruit wine. At the moment, he was slightly drunk and was in urgent need of food.
Under the sign of Mrs. anpelli, the servant standing at the end of the table began to divide the mutton. Walish, who had been waiting impatiently, took the lead in asking for a leg of sheep.
“Brother-in-law, does your leg injury matter?” walish suggested while chewing the mutton. “Let me say that this time you might as well stay in the castle and let jekun play instead of you. It’s time for him to see blood and long experience. Don’t worry, I won’t let him have any accident!”
Walish’s words instantly straightened jekun Green’s back, and his eyes were full of expectation and excitement.
Glancing at his eager and impatient son, Kiel green put down his wine cup and said slowly, “it’s because of you that I can’t let him go to the battlefield.”
“Brother-in-law, I’m so sad that you say that.” walish pointed to the discouraged jekun green across the street. “Look, you’ve hit more than me. Besides, I haven’t lost any battles except Arthur tustra, and you’re responsible for directing.”
“Damn it!” Mrs. anperi taught her like a blow, “what war have you fought except with the river leader! A group of robbers with scrap iron, you can take nearly a hundred knights to wipe out! Do you think this is also a war?”
“Sister…” walish shrunk his neck, which was not obvious, and his ugly face like a potato was full of grievances and fear. “I’m all for jiekun. This war is a great opportunity to become famous in the kingdom. How can you praise me and scold me…”
“Don’t be so fussy, it’s disgusting!” Mrs. anpelli couldn’t see her brother’s damned mother. “It’s more important to keep your life than to be famous! In the future, he will have the opportunity to lead the army. The river leader in the north, the damn Arthur tustra, will be defeated by my son!”
“The honor lost by the father is picked up by the son.” bishop robus, who has been eating quietly, smiled and said, “Mrs. anperi, I have to say that there is no better way of revenge than this.”
“However, as Sir walish said, this war is indeed a rare opportunity. I think young master jekun is also eager to try. Children can’t hide under their parents’ wings forever…” he smiled and threw an encouraging look at jekun green.
“Father!” jekun green, who was encouraged, looked forward to his father. “Let me go. I’m an adult. Mr. Crocker praised my swordsmanship and said I’m a qualified knight. I won’t let you down!”
Kiel green looked at his son and said, “if you want to go to war, you must first learn to settle down in the rear.” after that, he turned his head and looked at bishop robus to the right. “Good opportunity? Bishop, are you satisfied with today’s food?”
“Of course, thank you for your hospitality,” said bishop robus, not understanding the meaning of his words.
“As a servant of God, have you noticed the suffering in my territory?” Kiel green stared at him expressionless, with a slight chill in his steady tone. “We enjoy good wine and delicious food here, but the territory is full of starvation victims and refugees. Before you came to the castle, did you see people Hawking with rat strings in the town? This is a good opportunity for you?”
“What do you mean, count?” said bishop robus. “The war is to end the bad situation.”
“In that case, please raise 500000 Jin of grain from the God of light and give it to Shanghe collar. I can hear that your priests must drink Shanghe collar’s wine in addition to meat every day. In addition, the construction of temples everywhere must be stopped immediately. You have the right to take out the labor of everywhere only when the winter is slack.”
“Count, I’m afraid this is not in line with the conditions you promised before.” bishop robus put down his food and said seriously, “neither the prime minister nor Archbishop belus will be happy to see you go back on your word.”
“I don’t mean to discuss with you. The letter explaining the situation to the prime minister has been sent to the court. Now that your God of light has its own land, since you want to show God’s mercy, don’t exploit around like a creditor, especially now.” Kiel Green’s tone is firm and his chest seems to be burning with anger, “Also, don’t sell your deceitful waste paper in my territory!”
The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly solidified, and everyone stopped and stared at the embarrassed bishop robus.
After a while, bishop robus said, “I’ll write to the court about these things. Now talk about food. What’s going on?”
“Yes, brother-in-law.” walish also quickly asked, “why do you suddenly want to bring so much food to the river? Haven’t they promised to sell US weapons?”
“What other reason can Arthur tustra raise the price and make us have to pay with food!”
Kiel Green’s lame leg ached at the thought of going to the river or Arthur, as if an iron had pierced into the bone.
“Twenty thousand gold coins are not enough!” cried Mrs. anperi in a shrill voice, like a wild cat wiped its tail. “The boy is crazy. He is not afraid that his appetite will break his dog’s stomach! Break his dog’s teeth!”
Bishop robus frowned and asked, “why did he raise the price? Did he know something? Or did the Duke find something?”
“Do you think he will explain the reason to me?” Kiel green asked coldly, looking at robus at hand. “The boy has a good relationship with pace kewilt. If he notices anything, the Duke must know.”
“It’s troublesome…” walish muttered and regretted to jekun green opposite. “You’d better be honest with your mother. I don’t trust those vassals without your father.”
“I don’t think I need to be nervous.” robus said calmly. “Maybe he really just wants some food. Although it’s time to harvest food, there is a shortage of food everywhere because of the war, but he has no gold coins to support so many people. Doesn’t the wine from the river also greatly reduce the production…”
Kiel Green took another sip of wine and listened to Rob’s story without expression. He had never eaten food. Even though the roast sheep opposite was particularly attractive by candlelight, he had no appetite.
“So?” he interrupted. “When can your God of light prepare these food? The war is imminent. Or you can send someone to talk to the boy and let him offer.”
Kiel Green’s tone made bishop robus frown slightly and a trace of unhappiness filled his heart. Since he broke a back, his temperament became more and more difficult to get along with, and he was full of hostility and dissatisfaction with their God of light.
“Your Excellency, you should understand the importance of this war?” he said. “If we don’t take the initiative and wait for Duke kewilt to solve the wild people, we will have to be beaten passively. And that’s what the prime minister means.”
Kiel green didn’t seem to hear it and asked again, “when can you prepare these food?”
“Lord count, I can’t get food!” bishop robus looked angry and thought he was unreasonable. “It shouldn’t be too difficult for your two families to have 500000 kilograms of food!”
“After talking for a long time, you can’t do anything except noise!” looking at him, Kiel Green said impolitely and sarcastically. “I tell you, the boy is not short of food at all. In addition to food, he wants me to send some refugees to him. In addition, he has expanded his army. It is said that there are nearly a thousand people! Bishop robus, what do you think of my zogya leader’s current situation?”
“Nearly… Nearly a thousand people!” walish widened his eyes and remembered Arthur tustra’s defeat of the Barrett family not long ago. “He… What on earth does he want to do? So many troops want to fight with us! No, absolutely not. I must tell my father about it immediately! If that guy knows our plan and obeys the Duke’s order, we will be miserable!”
Kiel green glanced at warish with a frightened face, withdrew his eyes and then said: “not only that, in addition to the river collar, milt campes in the West has also formed an army of thousands of people, and some of them are stationed not far from the border. In addition…”
He turned his eyes to bishop robus. “You should know that in dealing with the wild people this time, Duke kewilt didn’t send milt campes, who was loyal to him. Bishop robus, what do you think I should do?”
“I do know,” insisted bishop robus, “but those soldiers are just a group of serfs and can’t pose any threat at all.”
“Do you believe that?” Kiel green asked coldly.
“Count, I really don’t understand what you mean! Are you going to disobey the court’s orders when you tell me this now? If so, excuse me first.” then bishop robus withdrew his chair, stood up, waited for a moment, and when he saw no one to persuade him to stay, he walked out of the hall with an embarrassed face.
“Brother-in-law, what are you doing?” when the figure of robus disappeared completely, walish quickly said, “you won’t really interrupt and disobey the orders of the court? Even if my father is here and Prime Minister Flavi is willing to forgive us, Duke kewilt won’t let us go! And we paid half of the gold coins for weapons, that’s 10000 gold coins!”
Kiel green grabbed the wine cup at hand and drank the rest of the wine in one gulp. The moment he put down the wine cup, he seemed to take off a layer of armor and a mask. The whole person was tired.
“I don’t know what to do…” he slumped on the back of his chair and looked at the food on the table with blank eyes.
He sent troops to the river twice, and both ended in disastrous defeat. He not only suffered heavy losses in his territory, but also broke a leg himself.
He had expected the Barrett family to fight Arthur tustra to the death. Therefore, he did not hesitate to let the slaves pass, but he did not expect that Ted Barrett was inferior to him. Thousands of knights, tens of thousands of troops, were killed by more than 100 knights, and Ted Barrett was captured alive by Arthur tustra!
Now, the river collar is getting stronger and stronger. Even the campes family in the West has fallen to each other. The two families have put on a pair of pants!
The Green family not only has to face the threats from the West and North, but also has to bear the misdeeds of the God of light at home. There are complaints from feudal officials everywhere!
Every night, his broken leg hurts so much that he can’t sleep. When tossing and turning, he asks himself again and again, what stupid things have he done over the years? Not only did shangheling rise overnight and become a strong enemy beyond his reach, but also brought the family into such a dangerous Jedi.
He regretted that he despised the enemy, believed in the God of light, let those slaves transit, betrayed the alliance, and became a traitor in the North… He regretted not killing Arthur tustra early!
