Don't call me evil god

Chapter 617 I Didn’t Agree ≠ I Rejected
"...We don't have enough experience. It's not a good idea to leave such an important matter to us, right?"

The scale of the performance is important.

Being too flamboyant will make people see the problem at a glance, while being too restrained will fail to stir up emotions.

The look on Pete's face was perfect.

Between longing and fear.

It shows that he is expecting to receive the king's reward and take on the important responsibility, but it also shows his fear of the unknown.

At this time, age became the best shield for Pete and the other two.

Most of the nobles who are qualified to enter this throne room are over 50 years old, and the youngest one is in his 40s.

With their experience, they knew exactly what the King was thinking, and no one would stand up to support him at this time.

Pete is different!

He is still very young, so he has every reason not to "hear" the power struggle behind this matter!

As long as he acted as if he was willing to serve the king but was afraid that he might not be able to do it well, no one could say anything to him. Instead, they would praise him, saying that he was a promising young hero of the kingdom and that he was cautious and would not be arrogant!
His Majesty Kenredin smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry. Everyone has been young before. Qinar, don't be afraid of messing up. Sometimes, you just need to do it boldly!"

Pete cooperated and showed an even more hesitant and wavering expression on his face.

It seemed as if he might grit his teeth and accept the commission from His Majesty the King at any time.

The nobles in the manor all turned green in the face!
After enjoying a comfortable life in the western part of the kingdom for so many years, many of them have become "slick" and are no longer as radical and motivated as they were when they were young. They just want to lie in the warm manor and enjoy their own benefits.

So they were really afraid that Pete would agree to this in a fit of anger.

I had no choice but to come out and dissuade Kenreddin:
"Your Majesty, I think Mr. Chinal's concerns are reasonable. They are indeed a little too young. What we should do now is to give them the opportunity to gain experience instead of, uh, handing them important responsibilities right away."

"I think so too! This kind of important task must be handled with caution. You should at least consider a few more aspects instead of making a hasty decision!"

"The monster red tide is approaching, and the territory they established in the Dark Forest also needs to be prepared for defense. It is not appropriate to let other things divert their attention!"

"..."

One by one, their words were so sincere and heartfelt that they almost cried.

Pete, on the other hand, brought his image of "young people who don't understand subtext" to the extreme.

After hearing what the other nobles said, he immediately reminded them, "Well, there are many of our companions working together in the Dark Forest. It doesn't really matter whether we go back or not."

"If there is a chance, we hope to find some like-minded friends near the capital, and then return to the eastern border together to build our territory together."

Upon hearing this, His Majesty Kenredin clapped his hands fiercely and said, "Hey! Qinar, you see, this can be a win-win situation. In the process of establishing the action corps, you will definitely meet many people, and you can recruit suitable candidates from them."

After hearing this, the noble who had intended to use the temptation of territorial autonomy to persuade Pete and others to reject Kenredin's proposal wanted to slap himself in the face!

You can say something else, why do you have to say this?

Now, this adds a lot of weight to the other party's chances of being "persuaded"!
……

Pete saw that the cooking was almost done.

It's normal to be hesitant. Young people will definitely be hesitant when faced with such a big thing.

But you can't keep hesitating, otherwise it will seem fake.

Pete raised his head and his eyes met Kenreddin's for a moment.

His Majesty Kenreddin gave Pete a subtle look, but no one present noticed this action.

Both of them understood each other's thoughts.

Kenreddin was the first to speak on the throne and made the final decision:
"so!"

"My dear ministers, what you said makes sense. Our heroes are indeed very young and may not know how to handle such a major matter. They may need a little time."

"Ms. Warren is from the capital, so she must want to reunite with her parents as soon as possible."

"You have experienced such a fierce battle before, why don't you just take a good rest in the capital for a few days, think carefully during these few days, and then make a final decision, how about it?"

Pete seemed to be relieved as well, and his whole body relaxed.

"Okay, thank you, Your Majesty!"

A result where both parties take a step back.

It seems.

Pete and the other two did not agree to Kenreddin's commission on the spot;

But His Majesty the King also had a chance. He gave people time to think instead of directly asking Pete and others to give a clear answer.

The manor nobles present finally relaxed as well.

Fortunately, the worst outcome did not occur.

If the matter of the Action Corps is really finalized, their days of enjoyment will be gone forever.

This matter must be ruined, no room for negotiation!

After more than 20 years of stable development, the Kingdom of Reyak now has a considerable number of professionals. Even if they do not participate in any action corps at all, based on the experience of the past few years, they are definitely strong enough to resist monsters.

Even - even if you think about the worst.

Even if the defense line is breached again, so what?
The people in the east are the ones who are suffering, what does it have to do with them?

[Past Glory] After the monster red tide ends, the gap will be filled again and the monster attack will stop. Therefore, the number of monsters rushing into the kingdom is limited, and sooner or later they will be wiped out.

The defense line was not held?
That's because the monsters are too strong and the defensive forces allocated to them are not enough!
Whether it is the King's Army or the Crusaders, because it is not easy for professionals to grow, everyone defaults to prioritizing their own protection when fighting monsters.

As long as the person is still there, he can return to the battlefield after being treated with the Glow Divine Art.

Or wait until the monster red tide ends and then go back and clean up the monsters in the kingdom.

If a person dies, the kingdom's combat power will be lost forever, and it will have to wait for the next professional to grow up to fill the gap.

After all the monsters that have rushed into the kingdom are cleared away, they can still return to their manor in the western part of the kingdom, near the capital, and live a luxurious and comfortable life.

There were even many nobles whose rewarded manors were not in the western region at all. Relying on the wealth accumulated and rewarded over the years, they simply invested in building their own holiday manors in the western part of the kingdom!
The nobles in the throne room stared at Pete and the other two with different expressions, each with their own plans in mind.

They needed to take action to prevent Pete and his men from accepting the king's commission.

……

And more
