Prince Caruso is still stranded in the city of Augu, and the mistress Hannah shuttles through the city of Fata every day, giving pieces of bread to the poor.
Danielson, the blessed knight by the Crown Lake, still has nothing to do all day long. And the madman Barak, the great swordsman, has never caught a fish.
The person who maintains the normal operation of the entire Knight Principality is not Charles holding the ram's horn staff, nor is it the hot-tempered thunder mage Salem, or the owner of the "Spinal Cutter" Cole.
The sound of footsteps came quietly when the first ray of morning light appeared, and the royal meeting in the palace officially began. The three people in power filed in, and the giant door of the stone chamber slowly closed.
"Because strategic supplies were robbed by Cisse, businessmen in Fata City and even the entire Knight Principality are very worried and are planning to change places."
The speaker's name is Allen. Although he is nearly forty years old, he controls the treasury of the principality. As Knight's financial officer, Allen doesn't like nonsense and has no time for nonsense.
In his eyes, time is like gold coins, which can be exchanged for blades and bricks, and it is also the confidence to fight against the Principality of Cisse in the future.
As the youngest among the three, Allen not only showed no fear on his face, but also showed a little impatience. In his opinion, this kind of meeting is dispensable. He likes gold coins, but has nothing to do with war.
Known.
Even looking at the entire ancient continent from Allen's perspective, all wars are the worst choice. "Things that can be solved with gold coins should be as little nonsense as possible." This is his motto and his mantra.
Allen is very talented, but until now he is just a magic apprentice. Because compared to boring practice, he prefers to sleep with gold coins on his pillow.
Prince Caruso rushed to Augu City because of the hijacking of strategic supplies, while Allen, the financial officer, had an even greater headache. Looking at the sharp decline in caravans and mercenaries every day, his heart seemed to be bleeding.
Therefore, he has been in a very unhappy mood for more than half a month, and would even get angry at everyone because of a small mistake made by his servants.
"As long as the magic cannon is not taken away, it will be fine. Our Kingdom of Knight is very strong, and King Ogu is one of our own, so there is no need to worry."
Another voice sounded in the stone house, which seemed a little old, but full of energy. Financial officer Allen snorted coldly when he heard the words, but said no more.
Adams, Commander of the Principality and Lord of Knight's Cavalry, has been in office for more than thirty years. Although he is now in his sixties, as a high-ranking knight, he has no plans to abdicate.
Adams has served the Duke of Knight since the time of the old Grand Duke, and is a warrior who was lucky enough to survive the Holy War. The scars all over his body are a constant reminder of the cruelty of war.
It was a dark time. Adams didn't know how many steel swords he cut off in two years, let alone how many people he killed.
Slight scratches are commonplace, the punctured blood hole is blocked by charcoal fire, the halberd that pierced the shoulder blade is broken off, and the back of the head that has been hammered with a blunt instrument is different from ordinary people.
The Holy War ended and Prince Caruso came to power. Adams knelt on one knee, holding the royal sword in both hands. From then on, no one on Cisse's cavalry could defy the sword.
If Prince Caruso's orders restrict people's words and deeds, then Commander Adams' rules are even more stringent.
The adjutant who neglects his duties will definitely be killed by his own hands, and the logistics personnel who violate the law will definitely have their heads removed. As for the ordinary soldiers who died under his command, there are not only three thousand, but nearly a thousand.
But under such high-pressure command, Knight's cavalry took on a completely new look. Although it was not as good as those at the top, it was not afraid of the battle formations of other principalities.
Adams is the complete opposite of Financial Officer Allen. He is not a businessman, and what flows in his veins is not gold coins, but swords and tower shields.
Therefore, although he was angry about the hijacking of strategic supplies by the Principality of Cisse, he would not get angry because of it. The battle situation would not change just because the opponent had a few more siege machine crossbows, let alone catapults.
Blast to pieces.
"You really can lie down and talk without your back hurting. I am in charge of money. I wonder where the food you eat every day comes from?" Finance Officer Allen asked coldly.
"Huh? I have been guarding Fata City for more than thirty years. Isn't the yellow-haired boy a little too arrogant?" Commander Adams asked in a loud voice with wide eyes.
"It's really funny. I'm expressing my personal opinion. If you interrupt me, you can kill me if you can." Finance Officer Allen turned to look at the old man, his eyes full of sarcasm.
"Since you want to die, I will let you do it. When the prince comes back, I will die to apologize." Commander Adams said coldly, and then gently released the scabbard.
A lament sounded in the stone house. Seeing this, the last person had no choice but to knock on the wooden table to signal both parties to calm down.
This kind of scene happens every day. Although the treasurer Allen speaks freely, most of the gold coins of the principality flow to the Knight cavalry commanded by the old man.
Although the old man did not give in in his words, he himself was an extremely simple person. As a commander, how could he not know the huge annual expenses of the principality’s cavalry.
"Calm down, everyone. Aren't you tired from doing this every day? Now that the prince is leaving for Aogu City, we'd better be careful."
The speaker's name is Brooke, who is the governor of the Knight Principality and the most trusted person of Prince Caruso. He has a calm personality and excellent emotional intelligence.
As a childhood playmate of Prince Caruso, Brooke's career has not been smooth sailing. Questions and ridicules are commonplace, and the whispers of the nobles continue to surface.
Under the strong rule of Prince Caruso, Brooke can be said to be the one with the least power among all the principal consuls.
But very few people know that many of Prince Caruso's decisions must be discussed in secret with Brooke in advance. And most of the time, Brooke is the one who leads the decision.
However, Brooke didn't seem to care about these things. He didn't mind other people's comments, and he had no interest in confronting these people.
Because in his opinion, as long as the principality can become stronger and stronger day by day, it will be the greatest gratification for him, the so-called consul.
"The previous strategy remains unchanged. Allen will find a way to make money on his own, and Adams will continue to guard Fata City. I will not allow any accidents to happen before the prince returns."
Brooke took a sip of hot tea and gave the order without any doubt. The stone house became calm again, and the three Knight pillars remained silent.
"I will take care of the money matter and relax the conditions for entering Fata City. This is the key." Finance Officer Allen sighed and turned to look at the old man beside him.
"Okay, let's do it this way. I believe that with the current combat power of Crown Lake, no one would dare to attack Fata City." Commander Adams nodded, and then stood up and left.
Wisps of morning light shine into the stone house, fine dust floats in the air, and the white mist of the tea is like a ribbon. The sound of distant footsteps finally disappears, and the remaining two people sit in silence looking at each other.
"Where are you going to make money?" Archon Brooke asked straight to the point.
"I'm not interested in answering you, so I'll take my leave!" The financial officer drank the tea in one gulp, then stood up and walked out of the stone house.
A new day has ushered in Fata City. The streets are gradually becoming noisy and shops are starting to open for business. As for Knight's pillars, the three superiors are also performing their respective duties and are busy.
