Chapter 640 Hereditary Earl
dong dong dong~
A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

"Your Excellency, His Royal Highness Arthur has arrived."

Li Fu's respectful voice came from outside.

Ji Xiaodao put a cup of freshly brewed coffee in front of Mo, then quickly walked around the table and opened the door, facing a young man with brown hair who was also wearing casual clothes in front of him, that is, the Crown Prince Arthur Bohe of the Chauvin Empire She saluted gracefully: "Your Highness."

"Haha, brothers and sisters, don't be polite, it's a private occasion, just call me Arthur."

Arthur blinked at Ji Xiaodao with a smile, and strode into the study immediately after Li Fu saluted and retreated. Mo, who was about to get up, said carelessly, "You don't need to be formal."

"temple"

Mo smiled uncomfortably, and then changed his words under Arthur's unfriendly gaze: "Uh, Arthur."

The latter nodded in satisfaction, jumped off the corner of the table and pulled a chair to sit down. While beckoning to Ji Xiaodao for her to sit properly, he lazily raised his legs and complained to Mo: "I said Dude, don't you think this study, which is equal to your face, is a bit too plain?"

"This study is already more luxurious than any house I have ever lived in."

Mo smiled nonchalantly, tapped twice on the smooth ebony long table in front of him, shrugged and said, "If I pretend to be more luxurious, I'm worried that I will have the idea of ​​sleeping here every day."

"cough"

Sitting next to Mo, Ji Xiaodao coughed lightly, his eyes slightly unkind.

"Hey, brother and sister, don't listen to his nonsense, you don't know how much he missed you when we were fighting in the former Kangdaling."

Arthur laughed, and then bowed his hands to Ji Xiaodao solemnly: "I have always believed that Mo played so bravely at that time, and you, brother and sister, would definitely have [-]% of the credit. The army may not be defeated so quickly."

"You are joking."

Ji Xiaodao smiled at Arthur, then glanced at the silly Mo beside him tenderly, and asked charmingly: "Hey, if I account for [-]% of the work, then the remaining [-]% is Who are you in a hurry to see?"

The smiles of Arthur and Mo froze at the same time.

However, the former reacted extremely quickly, and in less than half a second, he said righteously: "You don't know, brother and sister, and the remaining [-]% is Mo's patriotic heart!"

"exactly!"

Mo nodded like pounding garlic.

Ji Xiaodao curled his lips and snorted softly: "For His Highness's sake, I'll just take it for granted."

'Don't say a few words!This guy is so jealous! '

The eyes under the lord's mask were full of joy, and then he gave Arthur a look with thirteen words of information.

The latter pretended not to see it, but quickly changed the subject, and asked with concern: "How is your health? I heard Cedric say that you have completely recovered, is it true? There is nothing left A mess of dark wounds, right?"

"It's all right."

Mo nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I've recuperated, and my physical fitness isn't that bad."

Arthur didn't ask any more questions, but just breathed out: "That's good."

Then the two of them fell silent as if they had agreed.
It was not until two minutes later that Arthur broke the suddenly quiet atmosphere in the study, thanked Ji Xiaodao who handed him a cup of coffee, and said softly, "Let's talk about the business first."

"It's a business that makes you come here so late"

Mo smiled wryly, and sighed, "I always think it won't be good news."

Arthur also laughed, waved his hands and said: "You can't say that, in fact, the real thing is that the father has already planned to make you a hereditary earl, of course it is the kind that has no fief for the time being, and the specific appointment will probably be in a few days. The one who got the news in advance, I just came here to say hello to you with the acquiescence of my father, so that you can be more or less prepared."

Mo was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "This is unreasonable, based on my qualifications."

"With the destruction of Banser, the fall of the God of Law, and the rebellion led by Kangda, the current situation has already become extremely turbulent, and qualifications, which are already worthless, will naturally become less and less valuable."

Arthur interrupted Mo lightly, and said in a deep voice: "It is true that there are no objections, but you have already accumulated a lot of credit for participating in the battle of Banser City and the counter-insurgency war. In addition to Grand Duke Garros, His Excellency Marshal who has learned a lot of details about Kangda's suppression of the rebellion is also quite optimistic about you, so as long as your father is a little stronger, your promotion this time should go smoothly."

A look of joy flashed in the eyes of the girl next to her, and she subconsciously smiled proudly.

As the person concerned, Mo's expression was a little worried, and after a long silence, he shook his head stiffly: "I still feel that something is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

Arthur looked at him calmly.

"First of all, the higher a person's status and power, the more and heavier the responsibilities he needs to bear, and a hereditary earl, even a hereditary earl without even a fief, is undoubtedly the core of the empire. a member."

Mo tapped on the edge of his mask, and his voice was a bit bitter: "It's only been less than half a year since I officially became a nobleman. I really don't think I have the qualifications and ability to set foot in the inner circle of the empire. My friend, what do you think? At least as a criminal, I personally feel that I am not ready yet."

Arthur nodded slightly: "Is there anything else?"

"Have."

Mo sighed, and said softly: "It's the credit you just said, not to mention the leading work when I met Grand Duke Garros at the beginning, when I went to Banser City for the second time, I was injured at the beginning. Which Tsarist Knight or member of the Hurricane Mage is useful, as for the matter of going to Kangda to suppress the rebellion some time ago."

"You're doing really well."

Arthur patted the table down, and said decisively: "If you hadn't risked your life and led Duke Fossey's personal guards, which numbered only a few hundred, to rush into the hinterland of Kangda's territory first, and be the main force there The army bought a lot of time, and the encroachment tactics behind it would not work at all. If you hadn't taken the lead in carrying out the beheading plan after being tricked by the Duke of Fossai, even if we finally won the Kingthorn Fort that was completely emptied, the enemy's remnants would still be able to fight. Persisting for at least half a month! At that time, the Seventh Mixed Legion of the Griffin Dynasty was only six days away from the northern border of the Kangda Territory! You know what I mean!"

The above-mentioned words of Arthur Bohe are true. As the supreme commander of the counter-insurgency campaign two months ago, he knows better than anyone how much the criminal Lord in front of him played in that battle. Although the latter has never appeared on the frontal battlefield from the beginning to the end, if he and the pro-guards hadn't been vigorously active, no matter how big the difference in strength between the two sides was, the Kangda-led rebels sitting at the home court would have absolutely no chance. It may be wiped out so quickly. You must know that although the latter cannot win on the frontal battlefield, if the goal is to delay the battle until the intervention of the Griffin Dynasty's legion, it will definitely not be a difficult task!
The Griffin Dynasty is very likely to intervene!
When Arthur realized this possibility under the reminder of Mo's biography, he broke out in a cold sweat at that time when he was proceeding step by step and steadily. After two days of preparations, the large army led by the Duke of Fossai forced to advance regardless of the consequences, and Mo, who had already plunged into the hinterland of Kangda at that time, also tossed falsely and falsely, so that the surprised rebel leader had to choose to let The troops shrank, and because of this, Arthur, who captured the fighter, was able to successfully make a time difference, almost entering the core area in parallel with the peripheral rebels, and unilaterally launched a decisive battle after the opponent reacted. The rebels were crushed on the outskirts of the Fort of Thorns.

In this process, the sinner who led the guard of the Duke of Forsyth played a pivotal role, to the point that without them, everything would be in vain.

And on the third day after the end of the counter-insurgency, several letters found in a darkroom of the Emperor's Castle confirmed a fact, a frightening fact!

The judgment of the sinner was correct. The rebels led by Kang Da had contacted the Griffin dynasty within three days of Witham Bohe's death, and after a few brief negotiations, the blood lion emperor Chiwet Luo Gen made the decision himself, as long as Kangda led a rebellion with any plausible reason and persisted for a period of time, Griffin would definitely send troops!
So far, the truth that the high-level rebels did not guard the core of the territory to wait for work after setting off the banner of rebellion, but organized harassment at the border immediately after Troon sent troops has become clear.

If it hadn't been for the sinner who made a decisive decision and realized the possibility of the Griffin Dynasty intervening after realizing that the rebels were not playing their cards according to the routine, Chauvin might have been involved in the war at this moment. Of course, considering the strength of the two countries The gap, to put it bluntly, is estimated to have been completely wiped out.

After all, the Seventh Mixed Legion of the Griffin Dynasty alone is more than ten times larger than the Knights of the Tsar's Sword. It is not too easy to lose a mere Chauvin Empire. You must know that there are nearly ten legendary powerhouses in these two legions alone, and the Chauvin Empire has only an old and strong man like Galahat after losing the God of Protecting the Country. The Marshal is a legendary tier, so whether it is high-end strength or low-end quantity, Chauvin and the Griffin Dynasty are completely incomparable.

Rejoice!

After finding those confidential letters, the high-ranking Chauvin headed by Emperor William Bohe felt lucky, but fortunate.

"So, what else can you say about the promotion of the hereditary earl?"

Arthur looked at Mo Tan aggressively, as if he had already been convicted.

“Still a bit”

Mo raised his head without being humble, met Arthur's firm gaze, and said lightly: "It is true that I did prevent a lot of trouble for the empire, but... I don't know if you still remember, in order to achieve our strategy Purpose, what did I do on the road from the southern border of Kunda to Kingthorn Castle."

Arthur's face froze immediately, he hesitated and said, "This..."

"Of course you will not forget, and neither will I. Everyone who has learned about those acts will not forget."

Mo turned his head to look at the saber hanging on the wall, and said softly: "I killed everyone who saw our whereabouts, whether it was rebels, civilians or ordinary travelers. I burned every loaf of bread in my path, and my hands were covered in blood."

Arthur frowned, and said in a deep voice, "It's not just you."

"No, only 'I' is the executioner."

Mo's complexion seemed to be paler than before. He smiled at Arthur haggardly, and said calmly, "Those soldiers who followed me were just forced to become butcher knives under my order."

Arthur shook his head sullenly, gritted his teeth and said, "We have investigated, and the fact is not that."

"It doesn't really matter what the facts are, what matters is who should take the responsibility."

Mo Na's slightly trembling voice suddenly calmed down strangely. He took a sip of the coffee in front of him, and smiled at Arthur: "Do you know, in fact, I didn't care how many people I ordered to kill?" People don’t care if they are citizens of the empire, I am very rational, so rational that as long as I can settle the accounts, I can temporarily shield any conscience and execute any order that destroys humanity without any burden.”

Arthur was taken aback for a moment, and then he also laughed: "Am I any better than you? Don't forget, Mo, it may be difficult for Grand Duke Forsai to fully understand your thoughts, but I am different. From the first moment I saw your reference plan, I already knew what you were going to do, and knowing that I would be tortured by my conscience, I approved the plan without hesitation."

"We are different, Your Highness."

"Yes, we are different, but I didn't ask you to be the prince for me. It's just a hereditary earl. It's completely okay with your ability. You are obliged to take this position."

"I don't want to carry so much."

"What you said doesn't count."

"Not negotiable?"

Mo smiled wryly and fell back on the chair, heaving a long sigh.

"Using the words of my father, if you are not so frank, or if you choose to accept without hesitation, maybe there is still room for discussion."

Arthur Bohe smiled slyly, and took out something from his pocket: "Unfortunately, there is really no discussion now."

Mo stared blankly at the new criminal coat of arms that Arthur handed to him, surrounded by a lot of patterns and embellishments, and raised his hand to accept it after a long time as if appointed: "Your Majesty is amazing."

"Actually, I suggested it."

Arthur blinked.

"so"

Ji Xiaodao, who was always obediently sitting next to Mo, rolled his eyes
"You boring men are sometimes more complicated than us women."
