Chapter 385 Father and Son Conversation
Just when Zhang Qiang was wandering around in Sharitz, drinking, chatting, and even thinking about how to own two castles before the next war cycle, and become an earl, so as to protect his hard work and money, Sharitz more than ten In the camp of Earl Reyes, kilometers away.

Count Reyes was talking to Count Montville, his son.

Earl Reyes wrapped himself in a huge scarlet fox fur cloak and curled up on the large camp bed.

The Earl of Montville on the opposite side added some dead branches of sand dates to the brazier from time to time, listening to the words of Earl Reyes.

"Son, I'm a little worried. I'm getting old and useless. Although King Harlaus still has some old feelings, how can I say that he still has to be restrained and constrained by other nobles, and as a king He thinks more about how to let the young people in the kingdom grow up, so as to balance the constraints of the big nobles on him. I am too old to beg for mercy. On the battlefield, I can only watch the young people fight , Back then, I was the first to rush to the enemy's city, opened the enemy's city gate, made contributions to the kingdom, and shed blood and sweat for my king's throne and the inheritance rights of his children."

The Earl of Montville said: "Father, don't be sad, the Calradia continent is like this, only the strong are worthy of wealth and rights, and the weak will be eliminated. I have been recharging my energy for the past few months. Just waiting for you to launch an expedition to fight for more rights and interests for our family, and take advantage of your friendship with King Harlaus to fight for more benefits for the family."

"Yes, boy, I'll try to do it."

"Ahem, I don't know, what do you think of Zhang Qiang, a young man?"

"Zhang Qiang, to be honest, father, although Zhang Qiang is very aggressive and brave like you back then, I think his achievements are just like this. Although King Harlaus likes to let young people occupy the main positions in the royal court, But he doesn't like young lords becoming high-ranking earl nobles, that would be a threat to him."

"I know what you're talking about. Just like Earl Rutgers and Earl Rafazi, their loyalty has not been cultivated for a long time. The object of their loyalty is actually their family, the Harlangoth family, that The ancient families that have lasted for hundreds of years, in the face of the interests of the king and the family, they usually choose the interests of the family. This is the reason that caused the war between the Kingdom of Kujit and the Kingdom of Swadia in the Dherim area. However, Klages The Earl and the others did not expect that our Earl's coalition forces would join forces to fight against the enemy and them in order to defend their own interests. This is why the Earl of Melt and the others were forced to leave other kingdoms."

"Well, if it weren't for the relationship with King Harolds, I would be like Earl Melt, who chose to betray my original oath and join other kingdoms. I don’t want to fight anymore, I want to find a backcountry, a place where I can avoid the war, and live the life of my lord in peace.”

The Earl of Montville said: "Father, as a subject of the king, we cannot be so disrespectful to the king. We should understand the difficulties of King Harolds. Of course, I also have some opinions on him, and I am not very satisfied with the marshal he chose, but this is Nothing will shake my resolve to defend his throne and the legitimate right of his heirs to be kings. My sword fights only for the legitimate king."

Earl Reyes waved his hand, "Let's talk about Zhang Qiang. You know, I want him to join our family. You are the only noble in our family, and your power is weak. If Zhang Qiang becomes your brother-in-law, then our family will Even though they can’t compete with Earl Cress and his family, they can maintain their current strength and gain more voice in front of King Harlaus, so there is no problem.”

The Earl of Montville pondered for a while and said: "Father, you can also see that Zhang Qiang has a big heart, and his desire for power sometimes even scares me. Do not take the initiative to approach and provoke him."

Earl Reyes nodded, and Earl Montville continued, "I don't know what consequences your decision will bring to the family, but I feel that he is not so enthusiastic about his sister Elysee. I don't know if he is dissatisfied with her. She is still dissatisfied with her personality, the two of them are like guests who meet by chance, they respect each other like guests, and there is no sign of getting close."

Earl Reyes said: "If this doesn't work, then how should we win over him? After all, he owns the territory of the village attached to our two castles. Maybe in the future, with the increase of his merits, he will have more Many villages and territories. Until he becomes a qualified earl lord."

The Earl of Montville said: "It's very difficult, Earl Plais. After five years of struggle, how many battles he has experienced, he has the title of earl. After another year of struggle, he took the title of earl alone in an adventurous situation. More than 100 people won the fort of Lunvadia before they became the real count. Compared with Count Plais' ability, he is still very immature and too impatient."

"So, you're not optimistic about his future?" Earl Reyes asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, compared to the huge obstacles he encountered in the future, it is difficult to help him in our current situation. Under such circumstances, his usefulness to us has become a mediocre viscount lord , but he is very good at territory construction. If it weren't for that place is an "enclave" isolated from the Kingdom of Swadia, I think, I will find a way to get him to donate his territory on his own initiative , and then we will give him the opportunity to advance to the ninth viscount at King Harlaus."

Earl Reyes said: "This is not good. I looked at him at the beginning and wanted to treat him as your brother-in-law, a powerful arm of our family. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given him the gossip chart disc. Knight's Self-cultivation, etc., according to what you said, isn’t what I put in was in vain?”

The Earl of Montville said: "Father, it's nothing. Just train a powerful thug. Look at how elite his troops are. Maybe we can let him be the vanguard and consume all his elite under the walls of Fort Gamic. "

Earl Reyes shook his head, "Son, I taught you a long time ago that doing so is against chivalry. As his lord, you should think more about him. Only you think about him. He sees you If you treat him well, he will be more loyal to you. If you take the initiative to do things that violate the spirit of chivalry, you will plant the seeds of hatred in his heart. Based on distrust of you, he will no longer be loyal to you. In the future, he will Even if he fights with you, he won't put in too much effort, once his soldiers collapse on the battlefield, it will have a great impact on the morale of your team."

The Earl of Montville said: "Father, I understand, unless I have to, I will not take the initiative to let him be cannon fodder."

Earl Reyes said: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether it is cannon fodder or not, it depends on your tactical arrangement. If the arrangement is correct, the cannon fodder does not need to die. If you deploy troops, even elite soldiers are nothing more than a pile of cannon fodder. Look at Zhang Qiang." Let's fight against the army of the Kingdom of Salander. From what we know, although Zhang Qiang's tactical level is not high, his response method at that time was quite appropriate. Therefore, he was defeated before the enemy's elite returned. The enemy's cannon fodder troops divided the enemy's elite troops, and his soldiers created a local advantage on the battlefield, so he won by fighting more and fewer."

The Earl of Montville said: "Father, let's put it this way, since you want to use him, why not give him a chance to raise his title level, maybe he can become a part of our family in the future. Even if he doesn't like Elysee, as long as we Agree, as his lord, and you as the earl who appreciates him, the relationship between him and us will become more harmonious, and then, he will become a part of our family."

"Well, as long as he agrees to take Elysee, then I will fight for him a chance to upgrade the rank." Earl Reyes said.

After finishing speaking, Earl Reyes stroked his beard and said, "Since ancient times, it has been a good way to gather allies or gain supporters through marriage relationships."

The Earl of Montville said: "Father, since you have decided to support him, you should improve his personal strength. I went to his manor several times earlier to see him, and found that his personal strength is still at the level of a soldier. , rough, boring, not flattering at all, I haven't heard that he has ever played an official match, if he had an individual match with other viscounts, then he would probably be humiliated, his little cleverness on the battlefield, and His little success in business cannot conceal his rough personal skills, you give him a few books, and you want him to cultivate into a qualified son-in-law and a qualified guardian of the family, I think this decision is too hasty."

Earl Reyes said: "I'm busy working on the foundation of my family these days. If you have time, you can teach him his skills, play two more actual battles, and systematic theory can make him correct and learn how to use him. Personal force, rather than judging a person's combat effectiveness by the quality of equipment and weapons."

The Earl of Montville said: "Yes, his personal combat power can't even beat Viscount Rogerson. Going up to Viscount Rogerson, fighting alone is likely to be defeated. When he becomes a high-ranking viscount in the future, he may face challenges from other viscount nobles. You can’t see anyone in the circle.”
