Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 508 The Imprisoned Knight
Valera sneered, “You need to be qualified to leave early, Great Knight Ortiz.

You should get more used to the outside world."

The benefits that the Montes family gained from ruling the North for so many years have completely disappeared.

Although Leon seems to have only been here for twenty years, he has really achieved the ultimate.

The Montes family's mark was wiped out from every aspect.

Now, when people mention the Montes family, they still respect them because of their past and feel that this family deserves to be treated well, but they are not as intimidated as they were in the past when this family was mentioned.

At the very least, they will start discussing the gains and losses of this family and figure out how to get along with this family.

The Montes family probably doesn't feel the difference between the master of the North and one of the three most powerful nobles in the North so clearly.

That’s good too, just enjoy it later!

Valera knew Ortiz was a respectable fighter, and she did try to be friendly, but that was about as far as she could go.

Ortiz sighed, but he quickly cheered up: “It’s okay, there won’t be any opportunities for me to show up in the future.

Ezra, Count, will certainly outlive me.”

Valera glanced at him and said, "We haven't even left the Count's Castle yet!"

She really didn't expect that she would walk in and out of such a formal dinner!

Even the Baron, who hated trouble the most, would not trouble his guests like this.

Didn’t Earl Ezra bring a lot of carriages?

And there are so many servants who can drive the carriage!
How come they don’t even do the simplest thing of welcoming and seeing off guests in an open carriage?
If she hadn't known that he was a level 16 knight, Valeera would have suspected that Ezra was locked up.
-
"Let me out! Bowen! Bowen Holmes! Let me out!"

In the underground warehouse deep inside the castle, Great Knight Ezra roared angrily.

"My Lord Earl, that's impossible." The chubby Bowen sat on a high chair by the door, with a metal tray full of food and wine floating beside him.

Bowen Holmes answered incoherently while chewing a chicken wing happily.

"What are you doing? Eating?" Ezra sensed something was wrong and became even angrier. "Just wait for me, Bowen Holmes. When I get out, I'll kick you around like a ball!"

"Since the adults have said so... then I might as well keep you locked up for a while longer." Bowen didn't care about their boss's anger at all.

He threw away the cleanly chewed chicken bones, sneered, and patted the door that was so tight that even Ezra couldn't break it: "Why did we fall to this point?

Ah~ Respected Lord Ezra~ Why? Tell me!"

Ezra closed his mouth.

"I never thought in my life that someone could be stupid... crazy enough to swear a life oath!" Bowen's round face was twisted into bun wrinkles, "What did I tell you before you went to the palace?

How did you throw away the response that so many of our staff had worked so hard to come up with?
Did you eat it directly?
If you hadn't let me hear the truth,

We, we are going to become the biggest joke in the world!
Because a certain great knight was so angry that he forgot that he and the king had sworn an oath with their lives that they would never harm any family in the first year... and then he was struck by lightning and died before the inauguration ceremony.

Haha~ We, the Thunder Fury Knights, are really going to become a thousand-year joke and a ten-thousand-year legend because of our name!"

The knights stood quietly opposite Bowen. Although they dared not say a word, panic was written all over their faces.

They didn't know what oath Lord Ezra had sworn, so none of them dared to stay on the ground.

What if someone accidentally gets angry and causes trouble, resulting in the death of the entire knight order?

The underground hall was filled with a gloomy atmosphere.

Ezra, who was locked in the small room, gradually calmed down and suddenly asked curiously, "What was this room used for before?"

"Yuri's practice room. His level is high, so the scrolls he copied are naturally of high level. If they explode accidentally, someone will die.

This room can accommodate the release of sixth-ring spells!

The knight's attack is easier to say. You can train well in it. Yuri said that Leon uses it frequently, so it is absolutely safe. "

Among the knights standing opposite Bowen, a few who were quick to react couldn't help but look up at him... Isn't this a hint to Lord Ezra that if he has no place to vent his strength, just bang his head against the wall!

Yuri's words were obviously sarcastic.

As expected, the profession of scholar is quite insidious.

The reason why Travis wanted Ezra to take over the Earldom of Hamilton was also related to the fact that his chief aide was also a great scholar who specialized in copying spells.

With Bowen around, the basic magic facilities that Yuri built using his scholar skills can be fully utilized.

There are also magic arrays that can assist in managing logistics and transportation, which are also supported by the computing power of scholars.

Although Ezra was blinded by the position of deputy commander-in-chief, and was eventually caught by Travis and suffered a great loss, he was able to survive to his current position when the military was not willing for royal members to continue to reach high positions, so he naturally had his advantages.

Before Ezra entered the royal army, he was well aware of his strengths and weaknesses.

As a member of the royal family, he can be considered a close relative of His Majesty the King. No one dares to steal his achievements. Although the army is basically kept clean, there are still loopholes that can be exploited.

For example, before the end of the battlefield, there is a period of time when the number of enemies killed is counted, especially in areas not covered by the national magic circle.

For example, the area in the north once belonged to the Ice Country.

The combat merits here require human assistance in calculation.

Although the credit may not be completely stolen, there will definitely be someone who can steal some, or even a large part, of it.

But this kind of thing will definitely not happen to Ezra. He has enough ability to overturn everything and even drag those people into a sworn confrontation.

You will really be struck by lightning!
Who dares?

The advantages are great, but the weaknesses are also significant.

When the commander-in-chief is from the royal family and a deputy commander-in-chief is inclined towards the royal family, he wants to climb to the top position, and the military will certainly not be willing to do so.

The military is not just the will of the commander-in-chief...it is actually the common will of the leaders of the major border armies and the royal army within.

There is no need for communication, these people will tacitly suppress people of Ezra's background.

But this cannot be considered suppression, it's just that it will be very fair.

If the scores are almost the same, Ezra's opponent might have one or two more points over him.

He must do it more perfectly than anyone else to get better evaluation.

But if it wasn't for the position of commander-in-chief, why would a royal knight like Ezra, who could reach the pinnacle of his profession, suffer in the army for so many years?

Abandoning one's innate status and respect, competing with knights of ordinary birth, and even losing... It sounds simple, but even some children of great nobles cannot bear that kind of gap.

So, Ezra simply assembled a staff team of scholars for himself.

Bowen is more the head of this staff group than his confidant... Of course, just like Yuri is Leon's childhood playmate and follower, Bowen is also Ezra's.

Even this suggestion was made by Bowen.

Bowen didn't think he was worse than others, but he knew better that for a scholar like him who came from a wealthy family and was full of knowledge and cleverness, it was impossible for him to know everything on the battlefield right from the start.

They need staff who understand the military and war better.

However, Bowen understood better that it was a very risky thing to put someone who did not grow up together and have a high degree of mutual trust like them in a decision-making position.

The tests and repetitions involved were enough to make all their preparations vanish in an instant.

So, he simply set up a staff group.

Although the salary is very expensive, Ezra's royal allowance can still cover this part of the expenses.

As for the two of them, they are both in the army and don't need to buy clothes every year, so they can survive on the subsidies from the army.

In the end, things did go as they had planned.

There would definitely be problems among the staff from time to time, but as long as not all of them had problems, Ezra could still bear the losses caused.

Moreover, the assassination that has been proven by someone will be much weaker in terms of lethality.

By the time Ezra reached his current level, his staff had actually settled down and were basically useful.

Even if Travis's spies were among them, Ezra and Bowen didn't care too much.

Their goals have nothing to do with the royal family's affairs.

If Ezra hadn't suddenly lost his mind.

Bowen became angrier and angrier, and threw a chicken bone at the door behind him: "I'll let you out tomorrow morning!

Take care of yourself and don't go out with a stubble on your face."

Ezra was confused. "What? What do you mean? Bowen, I have my maids with me! You're not going to let them come down?"

"Watson is in big trouble." Bowen's tone was very cold, "I left the knights and their servants underground, and only the maids and the staff were left up there for the time being.

The scholars' task, naturally, is to control the various magic arrays of the castle.

And the adults in the Watson family were actually hiding in the castle!
Only a few young men of low rank were caught on the trail.

My Lord Earl, you should understand the danger here!"

Ezra was unable to answer for a moment, and then he quickly changed the subject: "Does the magic circle need so many people to control it? Didn't Yuri do it alone before..."

"Yuri, his scholar level should have exceeded level 14 a long time ago." Bowen sneered, "You don't have that luck. Your old Bowen risked his life to get to level 12."
