"I will definitely do it."
-------------------------------------------------- ----
Qiao Yelan entered the data into the folder with an expressionless face.
Victoria's strongest fighting force is following the path planned by Qiao Yelan -
Shifting.
The Steam Knights' loyalty is stubborn, and they remain loyal to Victoria even when Victoria is essentially divided.
Those who are selfless and fearless for the country are the most unshakable people——
Qiao Yelan couldn't turn them into pawns.
Therefore, we need to change our mindset and deal with each issue one by one.
For the country, be selfless and fearless.
That would make them lose their country, become selfish and fearful.
The Archdukes had caused the Knights to lose their country, even though they insisted that they were fighting for Victoria - but obviously, this could not deceive themselves.
The first step is completed.
So next, how can we make these noble knights become selfish and fearful?
Qiao Yelan took the initiative to present the little princess of the Cumberland family.
Aledae's life would become their selfishness, and Aledae's death would become their fear.
So Qiao Yelan has been emphasizing that as long as the Steam Knights remain organized, Aledae will be safe - but the problem is that even if all the Steam Knights are dead, with Aledae's identity, her life as a chess piece will still be safe.
However, Charles Lynch obviously has not turned this corner.
He had been shocked by Qiao Yelan's previous revelation of his identity as an old friend of Aledea's father and the words the other party had said, and was in a period of doubling his trust due to guilt - if Qiao Yelan said at this time that Aledea was in danger, then he would definitely believe that Aledea's current situation must be very bad.
Because the nobles had already built an information cocoon that blocked out the sky and the sun for Qiao Yelan and the Steam Knights - the information he brought could not be verified by the knights.
A [trustworthy] person said [unverifiable] information.
So this is——【the truth】.
All of Qiao Yelan's actions will only deepen his own identity. Therefore, the longer the time goes, the less the knights will doubt Qiao Yelan himself.
After all, he really did intend to train Allardae Cumberland to become the last and newest Steam Knight.
What is the most important thing for Steam Knight to be selected?
Combat power, age, qualifications...these are indeed factors that need to be considered.
But the most important point is -
loyalty.
Years after the death of the king and the captain, they were still able to keep their original intentions and abide by the code of the Steam Knights, instead of angrily swinging their swords at the nobles and the parliament. There is no doubt about their loyalty.
Regarding the abnormal behavior of the Steam Knights, Qiao Yelan guessed that the Duke of Cumberland, or the King himself, left the following order to the Steam Knights when he knew that he was powerless to save the situation:
Obey the orders of the Council and do not attack the nobles in Londinium to avenge them.
And the reason is easy to understand.
If the Steam Knights massacred the Parliament and all the nobles still in Londinium - Victoria would really be destroyed.
Whether it was claimed that it was the Steam Knights who started the rebellion, or the Grand Dukes who later took up their swords and went to Luo to purge the emperor's side -
Or, through the hands of the Steam Knights, they insisted that the Victorian Parliament was illegal, and the Grand Dukes felt at ease to carve up the land and be crowned kings.
Victoria will completely disappear from everyone's mouth.
And now, at least now, the name that others call this place is still——
Victoria.
The Grand Dukes still gathered under this name unwillingly.
This is all thanks to the loyalty of the Steam Knights.
Charles Lynch would not be aware of this problem, just as a person cannot see his own ears.
However, as the last Steam Knight to be trained from scratch, this little girl, the future leader of the Knights, whom all other knights had high hopes for and even intended to swear allegiance to—
Allarday Cumberland.
— had no loyalty to Victoria.
Chapter 124 No B-Tree
"Who on this list can you assign to me?"
Qiao Yelan handed the list to Clovisia.
The unicorn looked at the names with some confusion.
"what is this?"
"Steam craftsmen - Charles said that these people were originally responsible for manufacturing vulnerable parts and performing daily maintenance on armor. They are the talents they urgently need now."
"Charles? Charles Lynch?"
Clovisia was surprised.
"Yes, that's him—what's the matter?"
"......how did you do that?"
She stared at Qiao Yelan.
He was the leader of the Steam Knights, the most notorious, or the most die-hard royalist - if he would just lower his head, he would immediately become a guest of honor at every Grand Duke's dinner.
But he just refused.
He crouched in a corner of Londinium with his group of subordinates who were as diehard as he was.
"I said, I need to talk to the Duke of Cumberland and the Steam Knights - after that, the matter will be done."
Qiao Yelan said casually.
"Alladhee Cumberland? Isn't that little girl a pawn of Caster? And she has had her in her hands for years - how did you get hold of her?"
"She brought it to me on her own initiative."
The man spoke the facts earnestly.
Clovisia fell silent.
This guy...his methods are even more incomprehensible than before.
But doesn’t his immortality have side effects?
Did he lose his memory or not?
"I can help you check it, but I can't guarantee that everyone can find it."
"Just a few people will do. If I could find them all, people would suspect that I helped them for ulterior motives."
Qiao Yelan waved his hand.
"Do you dare to say that you don't have ulterior motives?"
"Every time I help others, it is from the bottom of my heart, so they are so happy to accept my help."
Clovisia did not refute Qiao Yelan's words because what Qiao Yelan said was true - as long as he agreed, he would definitely help you wholeheartedly.
And the reason...
"Yes, they only think that with your help, they can fulfill their wishes - but they can't see that their wishes are the cornerstone of your plan."
"This time, with your help, Charles will no longer have any logistical and loss risks. Although the Steam Knights can no longer recover to their heyday, there is no doubt that they will have no problem maintaining their organization."
The woman stared at Qiao Yelan.
"So, what can a nearly complete Order of Steam Knights do for you?"
"No one would complain about having too many cards in their hand. Although I haven't figured out how to use them, I can accept some interest for now."
The man smiled.
"For example... a certain old lion who hid Her Highness Alexandrina."
"Can you fish him out?"
"Perhaps not now, but if His Highness Aslan is not like Edward Atrias who can completely let go of the national hatred and family feud, then she will definitely seek more help out of her own will."
The unicorn nodded in realization.
Gawain would protect the little princess and hide her whereabouts, but if she wanted to fight for the throne, Gawain would not stop her by force. After all, he only swore to protect Aslan's bloodline, not -
Clovisia narrowed her eyes.
She suddenly grabbed Qiao Yelan's arm.
Then she was surprised to find that Qiao Yelan's arm suddenly swelled up and pushed her hand away - followed by the alarm bells ringing and it became noisy outside.
Under Clovisia's sharp gaze, Qiao Yelan removed the additional reaction airbag on his combat uniform without changing his expression, and the noise was getting closer and closer.
The two looked at each other, and the clock was still ticking.
boom!
The door was pushed open by Ace, who looked nervous, followed by Outcast, who looked serious, and Mr. Oren, who was wearing a mask of unknown meaning.
Putting aside the halo, just talk about hiding your identity.
Clovisia glanced at the grandfather clock next to her.
One minute and forty-seven seconds.
As planned, the security forces and measures of Clovisia's mansion only lasted for one minute and forty-seven seconds before Qiao Yelan's guards broke through to the center of the mansion in an organized manner.
"No one was killed, was there?"
"No, I didn't kill him, but there was some blood."
The answer is Outcast.
Well, it turns out that time can be shortened even further.
Clovisia looked meaningfully at her own guards who were chasing after her and were in a miserable state.
"You guys go wait outside, it's just a small accident."
Clovisia spoke first.
Qiao Yelan also nodded, Ace and Outcast also retreated, and the old angel also pulled away Mr. Masked Angel.
The living room became quiet again, but the mess on the floor showed that it was not just an illusion.
"What's happening here?"
"Anti-wolf measures."
Qiao Yelan’s answer was concise and to the point.
After all, boys have to protect themselves when they go out.
"Wolf-proof?"
The woman's expression was playful.
"Right. Think about it. The Steam Knights are very dangerous. I couldn't figure out their moves before, so I had to resort to some tricks."
The man's voice was serious.
"But it seems that these people are very familiar with the route to my mansion. If they are worried about the Steam Knights, is it necessary for them to be so familiar with my home?"
"Maybe it's their occupational disease - you know, no matter what the position is, I only recruit the most professional ones."
Qiao Yelan's reasons were still impeccable, bragging and practicing Tai Chi - he could do this all day long.
Clovisia did not pursue the matter any further. At least she did not intend to execute Qiao Yelan on the spot.
"I was just thinking, if Gawain wants to fulfill his promise while not getting too involved in the little princess's personal decision, wouldn't the easiest way be for him to let the little princess give birth to a child, and then take the child away to protect him?"
Qiao Yelan was almost choked to death by these words.
