After Marcus and Andrea send the fainted iron knight to the army of the croogues, they return to the main account. It can be clearly seen that the nobles sitting at the long table were much more upset than before they left. There are two reasons for this uneasiness. On the one hand, some well-informed aristocrats have obtained information about the scouting through their reports. It was enough to make them sit uneasy, and the longer the king''s hand came back, the more obvious it was. On the other hand, the colleagues sitting around these people are not deaf or blind. They can see that something bad has happened, but they have not got any news.


    So it''s not hard to explain that when Marcus returned to the throne as usual, not many people were surprised by the iron Knight''s absence. It''s too late for them to care about themselves. Where can Atticus live and die? But even so, the grand Knights still have a high reputation among the aristocrats. Most nobles will enter the royal order for training for a period of time when they are young. Of course, this does not mean that they will have the same skills as the Royal Knights. This custom has become a kind of ceremony of loyalty to the royal family. However, because of the existence of this ritual, the head of the royal order will inevitably meet with these nobles while maintaining the Kingdom''s military authority.


    Therefore, the necessary explanation cannot be omitted. "Well, before we continue with the meeting, I am sorry to announce that Sir Atticus, the chief commander of the royal order, was seriously injured in the riot just now and could not continue to preside over the meeting." Marcus paused, allowing the aristocrats to whisper to each other, sharing uneasiness and surprise.


    Andrea, sitting next to him, watched coldly as he saw how the king''s hand used fear as a weapon to force together a group of people with different aspirations. Marcus Taylor Riel, the ability he showed at this time, shows that the king''s vision was correct. However, Duke Kroger still remembered the words before the iron knight was strangled. The king''s hand seemed to have something to do with the elves. He had to send someone to explore this clue. Although he and Marcus are grasshoppers in the same line, others never have too many handles.


    When Marcus thought that the panic of the nobles had reached a sufficient level, he finally opened his mouth again and began to dredge the imagination of these people. "However, we need not worry, the Lord knight is not a big problem, but the wound needs time to rest. As for why he was injured, I think some adults have heard something from the wind, right? Ha ha, that I also don''t sell a pass, yes, the scout who came back before was disguised by the enemy. The purpose is to sneak into our camp and wait for an opportunity to destroy it, so that Lord Atticus and Lord Andrea can take timely action to stop it before the enemy''s plot succeeds. "


    The words of the king''s hand made the nobles think of something. A more daring man first asked, "but how can a rat man disguise as an adult? They have so much hair on them, and they look so weird. It''s impossible at all


    This man''s question got everyone''s nod, and this is exactly the effect Marcus wanted. By quickly diverting the attention of the aristocrats from Atticus''s injury, we can save some curious guys more questions. So he showed a gloomy expression, just as everyone thought that the king''s hand was going to be angry because his words were being questioned, Marcus sighed heavily. After that, he smacked his lips, looked up at the crowd and said.


    "Yes, of course rat people don''t have that ability. You know what they don''t have? It''s the precise and cruel killing of every scouting without being discovered. That''s not what rat people do. They are beasts, and beasts have their own cunning, but never so insidious. So the conclusion is that the things that are disguised as scouts and kill our scouts are not rat people. " Marcus heard a lot of inspiratory sounds, knowing that his performance had attracted everyone''s attention. He knew that at this time, he should not give these people too much space to think, and to mix the facts with what he wanted to instill in them.


    "Not a rat man, what would it be? The answer is the helpers they summon, their lackeys, their allies, demons from the abyss


    There was silence in the tent, but it wasn''t because of fear or shock. But for most of this, demons are completely fictional. An old nobleman, who looked about the same age as Atticus, cleared his throat and took the lead in questioning, "Lord''s hand, I can understand that what can hurt the Grand Knight must be tricky, but devil? I''m sorry I can''t understand your metaphor. We also hope that you can more clearly explain the enemy we encounter, so that we can change the operational deployment


    Marcus shook his head slightly and knocked twice on the table with the scepter of identity, which symbolized in the custom of the grey lion that his next words would be guaranteed by the king''s reputation. It is the highest degree of assurance that a person can make, "what I said is absolutely true. Just imagine, half a year ago, if someone said that a disease can make people become half human and half mouse monsters, everyone would regard it as crazy. But now the rat men are in the valley city not far away, with the evil claws they summon, they are eyeing us! Demons exist and, as legend has it, stand on the side of evil. They killed our scouts, stole the flesh of one of them, and wounded our beloved Grand Knight. They are more evil than the story tells, and they are more dangerous and crazy. Their shapes are so distorted that we have to cremate them quickly to prevent the evil from infecting the surrounding land! If you still want to question me, go out and go to the woods outside the camp. You''ll see those things, where they are! "Andrea also timely drew out his sword. Although it was not the weapon he really used, he still put the sword in front of him. "I support the words of the king''s hand in the name of the Kroger family. I think you all know that there is no personal relationship between us, and even there has been friction, but I saw those monsters, so I can''t betray my eyes and justice


    With the attitude of the angry lion, those who had followed him expressed their belief, which made those who had been skeptical began to doubt it. Among them, the more rational people began to think about what it would mean if the devil really existed, "if what you said is true, then I think we should stick to this camp for the time being. After all, our soldiers and generals have never seen the devil. They don''t know how to fight with the devil. If they attack rashly, they may cause serious casualties


    This argument quickly gained the support of the majority of people, who did not want the devil who did not know whether it really existed to increase their losses. However, if this is the case, Marcus is worried that these people will find out the truth in more contact with the devil. At that time, without the legitimate collusion between the devil and the rat man, these nobles are likely to propose to give up the Saron leader temporarily to avoid confrontation with the devil. That''s not what he wants to see, and it''s not what Andrea wants to see.


    So the king''s hand stood up, looked at the people in front of him, and said in a loud voice, "we are the nobles of the grey lion. The sword in our hands is waved for the king, but it is for the benefit of every family in the whole kingdom. Think about the present situation, my fellow citizens, and think about the suffering in your territory. Every day we stay here, the cost of materials will slow down the reconstruction of the kingdom by a month or more! And if we retreat, our leaders will panic, our allies will see our weakness, and so will our enemies! What have we become? Can''t even the enemies in its own territory be solved by the magnificent country of knights? Look at the badge on your chest, everyone. Think of the glory of our family. Some of us will die, but it''s for the family and the kingdom! Our enemies don''t understand these things. They are beasts, demons and rubbish who dare to hide in the shadow! Draw out your sword, Knights of the Kingdom, we will win, grey lion, will triumph! For the lion


    So the whole camp heard the uniform roar of war coming out from the tent, and everyone who heard it unconsciously joined in shouting.


    "For the lion!"
