Chapter 295: Allegiance

"No." A loud answer came from the side.

It was not Copperfield who answered Gavin, but the soldiers led by his son Craig. Everyone looked at him with a glittering look.

Feeling their eyes, Gavin couldn't help but add: "Don't look at me, I can't be that kind of person. If I choose to be that kind of person, I will stay in Tesser, not here, but someone is already going to be that kind of person, Zalanda, have you heard of this name?"

"Zalanda of the people? Justice Zalanda? The new mayor of Dalauma, the female general who won ten battles and ten victories?" A round of questions came from the crowd.

Ten battles and ten victories?

Good guy.

The last time I got the news, it was still seven battles and seven victories.

The density of war in Tesser is too high.

In other words, Zalanda has changed its strategy, from the original passive defense to active offense and active pursuit of war.

It's good to know. I'm just afraid that you have lived in a foreign place for a long time and don't know the latest situation of Tessel. If I explain it myself, Zalanda's reputation will be much smaller, and the power I can borrow from it will be much smaller.

"Yes, there is only this Zalanda in Tessel now." Gavin answered loudly, "Since you know her name, you should know her origin. She is the guardian knight of the Nott family, and I am Gavin*Nott, the only orthodox 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 of Tessel's future, and she is our hope.

If you want to return to Tessel in the future, I can help contact Ms. Zalanda and let her provide you with shelter.

General Copperfield, you want to return to Tessel, I will not stop you, but I will not Not now, but in the future, when you have your own warships, or even your own fleet, then return to Tethyr.

In particular, you need to connect well with the forces of justice and the people like Lord Zalanda.

At that time, whether facing those pirates or the reproaches of those noble lords, you will have the strength to resist. ”

“It turned out to be him. No wonder I felt very familiar with the name Nott before. It turned out to be the family that Ms. Zalanda originally served. I heard that Ms. Zalanda has been looking for the heir of the Nott family. It is said that she followed the caravan to the Northland, but she didn’t expect that she also came to the Valley. ”

“Since he is the heir to the baron, Ms. Zalanda’s loyalty is to him. Why didn't you stay in Tethyr and come to the valley instead?"

"I heard that because of his carelessness, his brother died. Feeling guilty, he embarked on the road of chasing the murderer and vowed not to return home until he caught the murderer."

"Why did I hear that it was because of killing his brother? Did he flee for fear of crime?"

"Don't talk nonsense. This involves a person's reputation. Do you think Mr. Gavin is such a bad person?"

"No, Mr. Gavin has done his best to help people like us who don't know him. Even when facing powerful vampires, he is not afraid. How could he do such a cruel thing?"

"If we can live in the city guarded by Zalanda, we can really to try to go back."

"You are crazy. Even if Zalanda is fair, the situation in Tesir is turbulent. The great noble lords still have the final say. They just need to rely on Zalanda's power to drive away the monsters that are marching in the mountains. When they have used her up, you will see how they treat her."

"When the rabbits are gone, the dogs are cooked, and when the birds are gone, the bows are hidden. This is their usual style. That's how they treated the general at the beginning."

"Rumors are rumors after all. How much truth and how little falsehood is in the name of the people's Zalanda? No one can tell. Instead, it is better to see Mr. Gavin in front of us. It is more real."

The Tesir refugees below were talking to each other.

Among them, there are some who have just fled from Tesir and are very clear about some news from Tesir.

Especially this famous Zalanda.

Not only because of her brilliant record, but also because of her different style of doing things from ordinary noble lords, she has won high praise among ordinary people.

A fire was lit in Tesser, which had been dark for nearly fifty years.

Although the light of this fire was so weak.

Countless people still chose to trust her, knowing that their behavior was like a moth flying into a flame, but they didn't care.

Because they were willing to be the fuel for this fire, making it burn more vigorously, attracting more people to come, and completely tearing apart the darkness of Tesser.

Gavin's eyes were mainly on Copperfield. As long as he was convinced, this matter would be half successful.

"Father, I think what Mr. Gavin said makes a lot of sense. We have missed it once. We can't continue on this wrong path. We should change our thinking and change the path. The path Mr. Gavin pointed out is very suitable."

"Captain, I have said it long ago that those noble lords are not worthy of trust, or even worth protecting, because they are the biggest termites and the biggest pirates. Once we have the opportunity to return to Tesser, we must first eliminate these internal pirates, so that I can 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 unmoved.

The young sailors and soldiers headed by Craigie were persuaded first.

They themselves were opposed to Copperfield's desire to return to Tethyr.

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 sighed 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 tried 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. idea, 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 country 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 it calling 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, Tessel will be reunified in less than ten years.

But 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 separatist situation among the great nobles - has not been completely overturned.

The biggest hidden danger still exists. 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 would 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 join the Assan Kingdom expeditionary force, drive away the Tukan army, and take the opportunity to make a fortune 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 a matter of emotional connection. 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 let go and directly take off? 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 are safe and will not be harmed by any evil forces. I will ensure that you have enough to eat, are clothed warmly, can hold your head high, and can come and go freely."

A majestic aura arises from itself.

This aura does not come from the Communication 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 more 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 beside her: "Lord Gavin's ownership of Gryphon 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 hearing her words, another group of Tethyr refugees knelt down.

These people are usually those who have been in the Battle Valley for a long time, and they know Lord Ilmet and Regina better and are familiar with their personalities.

Since Regina came forward to guarantee, it means that the relationship between the two sides is harmonious, and it is very likely that they will jointly develop the Three Rivers.

With the intervention of a territory, many things will be much simpler.
