Rise In Calradia - Chapter 429: : Tribunes reappear
“So you let Graves go? That Rhodok king!”
In an expropriated country mansion of an urban rich man in the Rhodok village, Lesarit stared at the expressionless Fatis, and couldn’t believe his ears.
“It’s ridiculous! If we capture him for this war, no! The entire Rhodok war will be over!” Lesarit was very dissatisfied. In his eyes, compared with victory, honor is obviously the latter more important. Compared with expensive ransoms and decades of pulling against a few small castles, he is more inclined to directly chop off the head of the other lord and then swallow the entire land. People in Gronia tend to do this, but in the war-torn Calradia, he thought, was the same.
“He has been seriously injured, and he can’t even walk by himself. Even if we don’t do anything, I’m afraid he won’t live long. I will never waste the lives of hundreds of soldiers to send him to see the heavenly father early, let alone this A battle that may not be won!” Fatis did not flinch, although his order shocked and displeased half the officers of the army (especially representatives of the Swadian lords, who believed that King Graves’s ransom must will be distributed to one’s own side), but he still insists on his own opinion and argues hard.
“This time I’m on Fatis’ side.”
At this time, Elaine stood up, and very rarely stood on the side of Fatis.
“Battle and honor are inseparable. This is an honorable act and a reasonable one. Besides, even the king of the Rhodoks is still a king, and we should not offend the authority of a king. Even if the The captives should also pay tribute to him and treat him until he leaves, in exchange for a reasonable ransom. As for murdering a king? That’s terrible.” Elaine’s thoughts and reasons are completely different from those of Fatis, He didn’t care about the life and death of ordinary soldiers, but he supported Fatis anyway.
“It is inconvenient for me to comment on this. After all, my soldiers are among them, and I am also responsible, my lord, but I support Fatis, no matter what he has done.” Jamila also stood up and bowed to Byron at this time, and then Standing on the other side of Fatis. Elaine on the other side glanced at her, then immediately moved two steps away.
“He’s just relying on his thick armor.” At this time, Desaiwei sat on the bench and muttered with some dissatisfaction: “If I was in the front, I would definitely give that old guy some more arrows.”
She didn’t express her thoughts directly, but it was easy to see that she was on Lesarit’s side.
“In any case, Fatis must give everyone an explanation!” Mathilde shouted, and the Nord officers around her also shouted in disorder: “Cowards!” The king is certainly worthy of respect, but it is a waste to give up the opportunity to obtain such great glory for the life and death of several people on his side. The Nords cherish life, but they will never give up this opportunity that can last forever for the sake of saving their lives.
Both sides have won many supporters. Fatis represents the most powerful vassals in Byron’s territory and most of the Rhodok soldiers (they don’t want to kill their former king after all), while Ressa Ritter once had the support of representatives of the lords and military officers of Swadia. They believed that Fatis’s move was not treason, but it was of the same nature as fleeing from the battlefield, and asked Byron to convict his most loyal vassal. . But from this point, it can be seen that they are obviously watching the fun and pitting Byron. After all, Byron being too strong is not necessarily a good thing for them.
Clearly, even though Byron had been watching the play, his decision had been made from the start. After all, conquering a country does not happen overnight, but humiliating one’s most capable minister will cause trouble immediately.
“That’s enough, I won’t argue with you anymore! We will let Lord Byron decide, no matter what he decides, I will accept it.”
Finally, Lesarit turned to Byron, who had been waiting for him to say the words. Now that they had had enough quarreling, and both sides had given their reasons, it was time for him to give the order.
“Fatis let Graves go, I hope what Bandark said is true, so that even if he survives, there is no threat to us. As for other things, I don’t want to pursue them. If they are powerful and respectable fighters, That’s obviously not a wise move to cost the lives of many of our soldiers. Besides, doesn’t Rhodok now have another guy who claims to be king? So what if we got Graves? We’ve got enough of him, Rod Doc still has a lot of bad things that he needs to worry about. All right, I won’t reward or punish Fatis, so it’s settled. My father-in-law has already led the troops to Veluga in advance, and this is my opinion now It has the most “reference” value.”
Byron waved his hand and stopped everyone before they could speak. As he said, when Earl Crags was away, he was the highest status now, and his words naturally followed the orders.
After dealing with this little episode, he ignored the happy or unhappy emotions on both sides, looked at Bandak with satisfaction, and pulled out the sword from his waist.
“You have done well, Bundak! Is there any greater honor for a soldier than to shoot a king?”
Byron’s praise made Bundak’s face flushed. Given his status, he felt that firing crossbow arrows at his former king would not benefit his image in the hearts of his compatriots, but even so, it made him very proud. After all, he can be said to have changed the fate of the entire battle and even the entire country by himself.
“Kneel down on one knee, Bundak, although you are a commoner, I have already proved that even a commoner has something to shine in.”
The people in the room looked at Byron and Bundak in surprise when they heard this. It’s not that they had never thought of this kind of reward, but when it really happened, they still couldn’t believe it. Even Fatis opened his mouth and muttered something lightly, while Elaine was very displeased that another knight from a commoner background would be equal to him, but considering the other party’s achievements, he still endured it for the time being. No seizures.
Only Jamila behaved very normally. After all, something even more outrageous had happened to her once, but after all, she came from a wealthy businessman’s family, while Bundak was a completely ordinary soldier.
“It’s such an honor, Captain… I mean Lord Byron.” Bundak’s movements were rather rusty and ugly, but no one would laugh at him at this time, after all, he is not too much to be called a hero to them now .
“Bundak Cleo Drusus, as the legitimate earl lord of Swadia, today I give you the honor of becoming a noble because of your achievements~www.mtlnovel.com~ According to your wish, I Following the tradition of the ancient Karad Empire, you will be named the “Tribune” of Jerkala. You will occupy a seat in the city council and represent the rights of the people with dignity to protect them from plunder and persecution. At the same time follow the According to the tradition of Wadia, I confer on you the title of Knight of Swadia and give you a matching manor as your fief. Are you willing to accept this honor and swear allegiance to me?”
“Sia
lodata,
Vostra
! I swear loyalty to you and to my duty. Thank you, my lord, for fulfilling my lifelong wish, a wish I never dared to dream of! ”
When the oath was made and the sword was slapped on the shoulder, Bundak, who was already in his forties, had tears in his eyes.
