It was not Copperfield who answered Gavin, but the soldiers headed by his son Craigie, all of whom looked at him with sparkling eyes.
Feeling their eyes, Gavin couldn't help but add: "Don't look at me, I can't be that person. If I choose to be that person, I will stay in Tethyr instead of appearing here.
But someone is already going to be that person, Zalanda, have you heard of this name?"
"The people's Zalanda? The just Zalanda? The new city lord of Darauma, the female general who has won every ten battles?" A rhetorical question came from the crowd.
Ten wins out of ten?
Good guy.
The last time we got the news, we still had seven wins out of seven.
The density of war in Tethyr is also too high.
In other words, Zalanda has changed its strategy from passive defense to active attack and proactive seeking of war.
It's good to know, but I'm afraid that you have been living in a different place for a long time and don't know the latest situation in Tethyr. If you explain it yourself, Zalanda's reputation will be much smaller, and the power you can borrow from it will be much smaller.
"Yes, there is only one Zalanda in Tethyr now." Gavin replied loudly, "Since you know her name, you should know her origin. She is the guardian knight of the Nott family, and I
It is Gavin Nott, the only legitimate heir of the Nott family. We grew up together, and I know Zalanda’s temperament very well.
As long as she is given a chance, she will do her best to protect her. She is the hope for Tessel's future, and she is our hope.
If you want to return to Tethyr in the future, you can. I can help contact Ms. Zalanda and ask her to provide you with asylum.
General Copperfield, I will not stop you from returning to Tessel, but not now, but in the future, when you have your own battleships, or even your own fleet, before you return to Tessel.
In particular, we need to have good contact with the power of justice and the power of the people like the Lord of Zalanda City.
At that time, whether it is facing the accusations from those pirates or those noble lords, we will have the strength to resist."
"It turned out to be him. No wonder I felt very familiar when I heard the name Nott earlier. It turned out to be the family that Ms. Zalanda originally loyal to. I heard that Ms. Zalanda has been looking for the heir of the Nott family. It is said that she came with the caravan.
I came to the Northland, but I didn’t expect that I would also come to the Valley.”
"Since he is the heir to the baronet and the loyal object of Ms. Zalanda, why did he not stay in Tethyr and come to the valley instead?"
"I heard that my carelessness caused the death of my brother. I felt guilty and embarked on the road to pursue the murderer. I vowed not to return to my hometown until I caught the murderer."
"How did I hear that it was because he killed his brother? He fled because of fear of crime?"
"Don't talk nonsense, this is a matter of a person's reputation. Do you think Mr. Gavin is such a villain?"
"It's not like that. Mr. Gavin does his best to help strangers like us. He is not afraid even when facing powerful vampires. How could he do such a cruel thing?"
"If we can live in the city protected by Zalanda, we can really try to go back."
"You are crazy. No matter how fair Zalanda is, the situation in Tethyr is still turbulent. It is the noble lords who have the final say. They just need to use Zalanda's power to drive away those who are marching in the mountains.
Monsters, wait until they finish using her, and you will see how they treat her."
"The rabbits are cooked by the dogs, and the birds are hidden by the bows. This is their usual style. This is how they treated the general at the beginning."
"Rumors are just rumors after all. No one can tell how much of the name Zalanda, the people's name, is true or false. But it is not as real as the Mr. Gavin in front of me."
The Tethyr refugees below were whispering among themselves.
Among them, there are many who have just escaped from Tethyr, and they are very clear about some news from Tethyr.
Especially this famous Zalanda.
Not only because of her brilliant achievements, but also because of her behavior style that is different from ordinary noble lords, she has won high praise among ordinary people.
In Tethyr, which had been dark for nearly fifty years, an open flame was lit.
Although the light of this fire is so weak.
There are still countless people who choose to trust her, knowing that her actions are like moths flying into flames, but they don't care.
Because they are willing to become the accelerant of this open fire, making it burn more vigorously, attracting more people to come, and completely tearing apart the darkness of Tethyr.
Gavin's eyes were mainly on Copperfield. As long as he could convince him, the matter would be half successful.
"Father, I think what Mr. Gavin said is very reasonable. We have already missed it once. We cannot continue to move forward on this wrong road. We should change our thinking and take another path. The path Mr. Gavin pointed out
, it’s very suitable.”
"Captain, I have long said that those noble gentlemen are not worthy of trust or even worth protecting, because they are the biggest borers and the biggest pirates. Once we have the opportunity to return to Tethyr, we must first remove these internal
Only when the pirates are eliminated can I truly protect the people."
"General, I know you are worried about the sea people of Tethyr, but you must also clearly understand your own strength. With just the people like us, we can barely drive a warship, and there is no way to exert its maximum combat effectiveness.
How to deal with those pirates?"
"captain……"
"General..."
Copperfield was not moved.
The young sailors and soldiers headed by Craigie were persuaded first.
They themselves were opposed to Copperfield's desire to return to Tessel.
Now it was just triggered by Gavin and took the opportunity to explode.
In the eyes of these young people, Copperfield was obviously burdened by the reputation of The Last Watch, and was a bit too unrealistic when considering matters related to Tethyr.
Copperfield, who became a lonely man, couldn't help but sigh and said: "It seems that I am no longer qualified as a captain. Even if the Watcher is still there, I will not be able to exert its maximum combat effectiveness. If I continue to insist on my own way,
, will inevitably drift away from you."
"Father……"
"captain……"
"General..."
A group of young soldiers hurriedly wanted to argue.
But Copperfield waved his hand and interrupted: "I know this is not your original intention. It is my negligence as a captain. I only consider my own ideas. In this regard, I lacked communication with you and failed to understand you in time.
What I thought, now I know.”
After a slight pause, Copperfield turned to Gavin and said: "I can swear allegiance to Sir, but only outside of Tethyr. One day, when the motherland needs me and Tethyr needs me and us, I will
I hope sir, you can let us go back and give us a chance to fight for our motherland and our people."
Gavin laughed loudly and said: "The general seems to have forgotten that Tethyr is also my motherland and my eternal home. When that time comes, I will take the initiative to send you out without the need for it to summon you. Believe me, this time
It won’t take long.”
He never gave up his plot against Tethyr, but he was taking a circuitous path.
Even without his own intervention, Tethyr will be reunified in less than ten years.
It's just that unity was obtained through various political exchanges and compromises of interests.
However, allowing Tethyr to return to its old path, the fundamental problem in the country - the separatism of the great nobles - has not been completely overturned.
The biggest hidden danger is still there. As long as the royal power declines slightly, Tethyr will fall back into the current state of warlord melee.
With Zalanda's internal power alone, it will be very difficult to break free from the shackles and break the cage.
If you add yourself as an external force to intervene, then everything becomes possible.
According to Gavin's original budget, he wanted to re-intervene in the situation in Tethyr, at least until next year, to participate in the Asan Kingdom's expeditionary force, drive away the Tukan army, and take the opportunity to make a fortune and steal from the Cormyr royal family.
In his hands, after being granted the title of Baron of Yandi.
But he didn't expect that his development speed would be much faster than he expected.
There are some plans that can be made in advance.
Like reconnecting with Zalanda.
It's not just about connecting emotionally, I believe that both parties now have many exchange points of interest, and each can get what they need.
After hearing Gavin's promise, Copperfield no longer had any hesitation. He immediately knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "I, Copperfield Gerhassen, am willing to follow Lord Gavin Nott and create a new world."
Home, I swear on the name of the Gerhassen family that I will use my life and blood to protect Lord Gavin and our common home."
Copperfield knelt down on his front feet. The young soldiers, especially those with dark faces, who could tell at first glance that they were sailors, immediately knelt down and swore allegiance to Gavin.
The young soldiers who were not from the Watcher hesitated for a moment and then knelt down.
Soon many Tethyr refugees followed suit.
Seeing such a good opportunity, how could Gavin miss it and directly take off into the air? This time he did not use energy dragon wings, but was held up by broken thorns. He said loudly: "Here, I, Gavin Nott, use the gryphon to
As the owner of the hill and the owner of the Vizeme Manor, I send a formal invitation to everyone present, inviting you to go to the land of three rivers, to Gryphon Hill, and build our new home there. I solemnly promise that I will protect you.
For your safety, I will not allow any evil forces to harm you. I will ensure that you have enough to eat, are clothed warmly, can live with your head held high, and can come and go freely."
A majestic momentum arises spontaneously.
This aura does not come from the Communicating Dragon Oak Mother Tree and Weizeme Manor. These ordinary people are relatively slow to sense such a coercive thing.
Rather, it comes from the coercion caused by the huge broken thorns on the body and the difference in body shape. For them, this kind of mortal existence visible to the naked eye has a more visual impact.
Immediately another group of Tethyr refugees followed and knelt down.
This group of people do not believe in empty promises, but believe in strength, especially after being tortured by vampires, which gave them a deeper understanding of the dangers of this world.
Compared with the disaster of weapons, those monsters may be more terrifying, and they cannot be measured by common sense.
Regina plucked the strings and explained to Gavin at the side: "Lord Gavin's ownership of Griffin Hill is recognized by Lord Ilmet, and he has signed a cooperation agreement with us to jointly develop maintenance.
Zemei Wine Industry, we are very optimistic about this place and Lord Gavin, and believe that he will create his glory here."
After listening to her words, some more Tethyr refugees knelt down.
This group is usually composed of those who have been in Battle Valley for a long time, know Lord Ilmet and Regina well, and are familiar with their temperaments.
Since Regina can come forward as a guarantee, it shows that the relationship between the two parties is harmonious, and it is very likely that they will jointly develop the Three Rivers Land.
With the intervention of a territory, many things will be much simpler.
