Chapter 445 Bishop Ferdinand
The armies of the two principalities were five miles apart, which was considered very close compared to an army of tens of thousands of people.
In the center of the two camps is a flat grassland, which will soon become the main battlefield for a decisive battle between the two sides.
…
Looking at the Principality of Zeon camp appearing at the far end, Gervis felt a little excited and a little nervous.
The arrival of the army of the Principality of Jean meant that he would soon be able to escape from the tiger's den, return to the arms of his cheap wife, and then live a shameless life with the ransom.
The same was true for his anxiety. He didn't know how to tell everyone about Caroline's matter for the time being. As for pretending that it had never happened, Gervis felt that he couldn't do it. Although he might be a bit of a scumbag, he was not completely a scumbag, so he still had a little sense of responsibility.
At this moment, Gervis was outside Alote's tent, because just now, Alote sent a messenger to summon Gervis and ten other young men.
It was obvious that although the king had changed, Arlot seemed prepared to follow King Hayden's plan in some aspects.
For example, letting Gervis and others participate in the knight duel between the two sides, or using Caroline to humiliate the face of the Principality of Jean.
Gervis and his companions had been standing outside the tent waiting for nearly ten minutes. There should be someone in Alott's tent, so they were not summoned immediately.
After waiting for about five minutes, five or six people finally walked out of Alote's tent.
"Hello, commanders!"
As soon as they saw these people coming out, one of the young men including Gervis greeted them politely. He must have known the people who walked out of the tent.
"So it's Divani, hahaha, I should call you Baron now, Baron Vadir, congratulations! By the way, convey my regards to your father!"
This Divani is the second son of an earl. His father had lined up in advance the day before yesterday to support the second prince, Alot.
Now that Alote has really become the king, their family's rapid rise to prominence is definitely just around the corner.
Therefore, these generals were extremely enthusiastic even towards Divani, the second son of the Earl.
"Okay, commanders! I will definitely convey your greetings to my father."
After listening to the conversation between several people, Gervis realized that the people who walked out of the tent were the commanders and deputy commanders of several major legions of the Principality of Alban.
However, Gervis's focus at this moment was not on their appearance, but on the things in their hands.
Because at this moment, Gervis finally understood why these people turned to Alott's men.
Because each of them held a wooden box in their hands, and this wooden box was something that Gervis had seen once before and he also had one.
The one that belonged to Gervis was found in Roll's house, and later Alice gave it to Gervis so that he could store the spiritual essence that would allow the White Shadow Peak Knight to break through and become a Golden Knight.
"What exactly is the church planning? There is absolutely no benefit for the Principality of Alban to have five or six more golden knights, right?"
Gervis's thoughts raced. Five or six bottles of spiritual essence meant that within a year or two, the Principality of Alban would have five or six more golden knights, which would not be of any benefit to the church.
Moreover, the church was willing to give out such a precious thing, so there was definitely no reason for it to be a loss-making deal. Gervis felt more and more that the church's plan this time was absolutely huge.
At the same time, there was one thing that Gervis couldn't understand. That was, judging from Alott's words and behavior in the past few days, Alott was definitely not the kind of puppet who was willing to be manipulated at will. He didn't believe that the church was unaware of this!
"Viscount Harry, His Majesty lets us in!"
Just as Gervis was lost in thought, he heard other young men urging him to come back, and Gervis finally realized that the commanders had already left.
So Gervis put aside his doubts and walked into the tent.
"You ten are outstanding young people who won the competition, so I will still take you to the duel with the knights of the Principality of Zeon this time. If you perform well, you will still get a fiefdom."
When Gervis and others entered the tent, Alot sat on the throne and directly told them the purpose of his visit.
"We swear to be loyal to Your Majesty until death! Your Majesty, please rest assured that we will make the people of the Principality of Jean pay!"
Several young men immediately saluted excitedly. They originally thought that after the change of king, the issue of fiefdom might not be settled. But now Alot once again stated that the reward remained the same, so their chance was still there.
Since Gervis was standing at the front, he could only lower his head and open his mouth to lip sync.
"very good!"
Alot nodded with satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Gervis.
"Harry, I heard that you don't have a full body armor yet. Go find the logistics director later and choose a suitable full body armor from him. As the number one youth in our principality, don't let me down!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Gervis agreed immediately. He was worried that he would be recognized by his cheap wife and the Lord of the North when he met them later. Now that Alott gave him a full body armor, it couldn't be better.
"Also, take Caroline with you when we set off later. The Principality of Jean invades our Principality of Alban every year. Let's see how I humiliate them this time and then destroy them in one fell swoop!"
The eldest prince was full of confidence, as if victory was just around the corner.
Seeing the eldest prince's performance, Gervis felt more and more that the church had a big conspiracy.
"Could it be that they want to trap both the Principality of Alban and the Principality of Jean at the same time?"
Such a thought suddenly occurred to Gervis.
Because even though the Duchy of Alban has close ties with the Church in private, it is impossible for them to truly come together.
After all, neither King Hayden nor the nobles would allow the church to gain control over them.
The current cooperation between the two parties is only because they have a common enemy, and both want to eliminate the most powerful principality, the Principality of Zeon, first. Otherwise, the Principality of Zeon will become the only dominant power and have the capital to unify the continent, which will not benefit anyone.
…
After giving instructions to Gervis and others, Alot dismissed a few people and asked them to go back and prepare well. They would go to the front line this afternoon to start the first battle with the army of the Principality of Zeon.
After Gervis and others left, there were only two people left in Alote's tent, Alote and a middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man was dressed in a white linen robe, had short hair and a peaceful face. He was someone who could make people like him at first sight.
If the deceased Jones family leader, Roll, saw the man in the linen robe, he would definitely recognize him as the one who came to his mansion to deliver the spiritual energy liquid.
The middle-aged man had been hiding behind the screen of the tent, so Gervis and others did not notice him.
"Bishop Ferdinand, the murderer who killed Lil has not been found yet. Do you think our secret will be exposed?"
After Gervis and others left, Alott asked Ferdinand with a frown.
Although he was full of confidence in front of Gervis and others, the Principality of Jean was so powerful that it was impossible for him not to have some worries.
"Your Majesty Arlot, don't worry! Isn't everything going according to plan?"
"Now that the army of the Principality of Zeon is right before our eyes, even if they really know something, what good will it do?"
"In the face of absolute power, any resistance is futile! You will become the king who rules this continent, and the Principality of Alban will become the only kingdom on the continent, just like the Snow Eagle Dynasty."
Ferdinand had a warm smile on his face, and his words were extremely convincing.
After hearing his words, Alot's frown finally relaxed and he regained his confidence.
"That's right. I'll leave it to Bishop Ferdinand this time. If the church really helps me unify the continent, I will allocate two earldom-sized fertile lands to you and relocate millions of serfs to you. I will keep my word!"
Alote said solemnly.
Although the church's churches are spread across the three duchies, the church's real foundation is only the size of a barony, with only one holy city that no one has ever seen!
It is precisely because of this that all nobles can tolerate the existence of the church to the greatest extent.
Otherwise, if the church not only possessed vast territories but also possessed powerful strength, all the nobles would definitely be unable to sleep or eat in peace.
This time, the church provided help to Alot and the request it made was to obtain enough land and population.
In exchange, the church will help Alot unify the continent.
Of course, Alott was willing to do such a deal.
If he really unified this continent, he wouldn't care about such a small piece of land.
More importantly, if the strength is sufficient, what is the difference between the church and other nobles? They still have to obey him as the king.
