Whose child was he, whose father, which comrade was willing to entrust his back to us? Now, I only felt confusion, as if such a brave warrior had never appeared in our battle group.
After all, we couldn’t even protect his child! Even if Anthony was a noble first, he was still our comrade!
If Lord Anthony’s child was in this state, could we, the knights below him, remain unscathed when encountering such things?
I could not allow this situation to continue; if I did not throw this punch first, it might be my child getting hit in the future.
In the na of Fox, I swore, if this matter did not get a perfect explanation, that fundantally severed my loyalty to the Duchy. You were shaking the foundation of the Duchy! Those who shake the foundation, must die!"
The knights’ fierce reaction had already caught the attention of many nobles...
One could even say fear!
They vaguely sensed an unease.
Why had no one ntioned anything about Baron Helois during this ti, and why did no one say he was unrightfully seated? Because they felt they might accidentally stumble upon a confrontation.
Putting themselves in others’ shoes, they understood the true cause of their unease.
If the Lion Heart Battle Group could not get a good result from Kael here, they would have reason to believe most of them, not born into nobility, had even less chance of receiving fair treatnt in the Duchy.
Even for the basic interests of the knight class, they would do their best to get a fair and just result for Kael.
And now, due to the vehent opposition of the entire noble class, these foundations that should have been closely tied to noble power were forcibly pushed out by them.
Under normal circumstances, even with a rift with the Lion Heart Battle Group, they would not have felt fear because of it.
But "if" ant there was no "if".
Now, soone who originally could not step onto the chessboard, with the support of their family, successfully jumped into this muddy water.
The situation suddenly beca terribly convoluted.
No, not just the battle group!
They had long heard Kael, this border lord, had already completed the first phase of the Dungeon conquest.
What did this an?
If they had not forgotten, Lancaster had already been expanded once. Successfully capturing it back then caused a sensation.
Now the territory was about to expand a second ti; this achievent of acquiring a large tract of land for the Duchy was a huge rit that could align other neutral factions towards him.
Moreover, this fellow might indeed be an Incubus skilled at bewitching people. He actually enticed several Churches to participate in the affairs of his territory.
They truly dared not be certain, when actual conflict occurred, whether these Churches would choose to act for Kael.
No, no way!
The Earth Mother Goddess Church said they did not mind, but they were definitely standing by that bastard’s side!
Because now, the Undead’s base was in Lancaster!
Never mind the Earth Mother Goddess Church proclaid they would not bother the Undead, but the Undead were ultimately the people of Shantia. Even if the gods did not speak, many priests within the Church supported the pure faith of the Undead.
The Undead were now in Lancaster...
Hiss!!! Damn it! Damn it! Why did it take so long for them to realize such a guy, with amassed power and prestige, appeared on the chessboard?
No, how could a child accumulate such a foundation?
Experience new stories on empire
Everyone’s faces showed sullen expressions.
Yes, they understood what was going on!
Anthony.D.Charles, was all of this within your expectations?
The Lion Heart Battle Group’s Duke was right; the current Kael was indeed a big shark, one that could easily exchange them one for one!
In this situation, the number of speculators betting on this guy would certainly skyrocket!
They just did not know, Kael was also a bit bewildered in his heart now.
Originally, he thought the primary goal of coming here was to further discuss the new spell path. If confird, he could firmly secure his position as a Baron.
But never did he expect his hidden ambition to be truly ignited with the full support of the Lion Heart Duke.
He naturally understood the Duke’s intention; involving him in this torrent would not cause real danger to Kael.
Whether it was Mr. Luxius or Grandpa White, they could ensure Kael remained safe in this struggle. If it had been before showing his potential, fine, but now if those people dared to strike, it could be seen as challenging the Duchy’s authority.
In other words, regardless of whether he ultimately succeeded or not, there was no fear for his life.
However, bringing him into this would completely disturb the original succession situation in Ingrance Duchy.
Clearly, the Duke of Lion Heart had long been dissatisfied with the many troubles caused by this group and needed to bring him in to revitalize the situation in the Duchy.
Of course, if by chance, he truly grew to a position, that success could smoothly flow, and might even beco a legend in the end.
Anyway, bringing him in was a win-win situation!
