The Knight's Journey to the Empire

Then, Soran began to explain: "Don't just look at the fact that the navy has just been established and its organization is not large! But when we move to the Antilles in the future, given the conditions of the islands there, the navy will definitely expand and even surpass the army to become the largest army!"

"Well, the army refers to the troops that fight on land, including infantry, knights, etc!"

Soran was afraid that they wouldn't understand, so he explained it in detail!

"So if you have a second son, an illegitimate son, or something like that, and you want him to have some adventure, the navy is definitely the best choice!"

"This way, when the navy expands in the future, they will have enough experience and will naturally be able to move up the ranks!"

"Of course, the premise is that they have enough ability and strength. If they are just a bunch of trash, I don't think Brother Planck would tolerate them, right!"

"Yes, everyone. The navy is newly formed and is continuing to recruit soldiers. If your sons are willing to come, I am willing to accept them as well!" Planck has already started promoting it vigorously!

The navy is newly formed, and with their descendants joining in, they can be considered as people who know the ins and outs of the navy!

This will make it easier to manage in the future!

Of course, Planck also learned from Soran and said the ugly words in advance: "But the Earl asked me to build a strong navy, so if your descendants can't bear the hardship, then don't send them here, so as to avoid any trouble and embarrassment for everyone!"

After hearing this, everyone made up their minds!

After hearing what Soran said, they also understood that the future of the navy is bright!

Therefore, they all plan to let the second son, illegitimate son, etc., go out and explore the world!

After all, with the existence of the primogeniture system, one cannot leave one’s wealth and status to them!

And since I still have some power, I can help out!

If you can’t bear the hardship, then just die outside!

This will save you from being kicked out of the house and having no one to collect your body if you die outside!

"Brother Redsas, what do you think? As long as you can come, I will recommend you to the Earl as the second-in-command of the navy!" Plant continued to ask seductively.

"Well, let me think about it again!" Redsas said hesitantly.

But actually, I’m already moved!

I just refused because of my face.

In the past, Planck was the city guard officer of Ganise, commanding the city guards of Ganise; and Redesas was the sheriff of Ganise, commanding the security team of Ganise.

Although the two of them are not on equal terms: because Planck's direct superior is Countess Katis, and Redesas's direct superior is the lord of Ganise City, Sir Rolank.

But the identities and status between the two are equal!

Well, there is a little inequality, because Planck is a retainer of Countess Katis, and the status of a retainer is naturally higher!

In any case, in Redsas's opinion, the two are equal, and there is even a little competition in terms of functional roles!

So now suddenly I have to give up everything and work for the other party!

This made Dressas feel a little embarrassed!

"What else do you need to consider? You don't want such a good opportunity! Dressas, I tell you, I won't keep it for you!" Gangplank said threateningly.

But Dresas remained indifferent.

Seeing this, Soran persuaded Planck: "Planck, forget it, let him think about it for a while! After all, this is a major matter related to his life development, let him think about it carefully!"

Soran spoke, and Planck said nothing more!

So everyone sat down again and continued chatting!

……

After a long time, after three rounds of drinks, everyone finished eating and drinking and chatted for a while.

Seeing that everyone had finished what they wanted to say, Sir Colbert stood up and said, "Everyone, Viscount Soran and I have some private matters to discuss. Can you please leave first?"

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and said goodbye!

After all, I've said everything I wanted to say, and there's no point in staying any longer!

Magellan said in a mean way: "Colbert, what's the private matter? Can I listen to it?"

Sir Colbert pointed at the door and said only one word: "Get out!"

So Magellan left in disgrace!

Because he can't beat Sir Colbert!

"Viscount Soran, I'll wait for you outside!" Knight Yalikovich said, and walked out.

Soon, Soren and Sir Colbert were the only ones left in the private room.

Soran and Sir Colbert looked at each other, and just as Sir Colbert was about to speak, the noise of Magellan and others coming from downstairs in the tavern!

Soran and Sir Colbert went out to see that Bemenstine, Plant, Canard, and Aldrich were arguing because they were owed the meal money!

This really made Soran and Sir Colbert laugh and cry.

Seeing that there were already people watching, in order to avoid making any big noise, Soran said directly: "Stop arguing! Let Magellan pay for this meal!"

At this time, Magellan, who was standing aside and preparing to watch the fun, turned around and looked at Soran in disbelief: "I... I pay? Didn't you say you were treating? Why did I pay?"

"Yeah! I said I'd treat you, but I didn't say I'd pay! You took such a valuable [Compass] from me, but you don't even want to pay for a meal!" Soran said jokingly.

"What do you mean by 'take'? I earned it with my own ability! Don't try to trick me, I won't fall for it!" Magellan smiled and walked away without stopping at all.

"Strange? Why did he suddenly become smart?" Soran turned and asked Sir Colbert.

Sir Colbert shook his head to indicate that he did not know.

In the end, Soran paid for the meal himself!

In fact, Soran didn't really want Magellan to pay the bill, he just wanted to tease him because he saw him eating melons on the side!

Of course, if Magellan really wants to pay, then just ignore what I said!

……

Soon, Soran and Sir Colbert returned to the private room!

"Go ahead, tell me what you want to tell me!" To avoid embarrassment, Soran spoke directly.

Sir Colbert glanced at him and immediately asked, "How many [compasses] do you have?"

"Why, you want it?" Soran looked at Colbert and spoke with some ill intention.

"Nonsense, who doesn't want it! I thought you really only had one [compass]!" Sir Colbert said unhappily.

"If you want it, then pay more!" Soran stretched out his hand and gestured!

Sir Colbert rolled his eyes and said, "With the relationship between you and me, it's inappropriate to talk about money!"

"Brother, let's settle the account clearly! Just tell me whether you will give it to me or not!" Sauron was not knowing his limits.

This way he felt proud!

Because once upon a time, Sir Colbert had blackmailed him!

“I’ll give you a big head ghost!” Sir Colbert relied on his strength being stronger than Sauron and beat Sauron up!

In order to prevent Soran from making any noise and causing misunderstanding, he also grabbed Soran's neck hard to prevent him from making any sound.

Wait until you’ve beaten him enough, then let him go. If Sauron doesn’t agree, pinch and beat him again until Sauron tells the truth and agrees to give him this!

So in the end, Sauron had no choice but to agree to the other party's request!

Otherwise he would really be beaten to death!

……

“Colbert, you stayed here for more than just the purpose of getting the [Compass]!” Soran straightened his messy clothes and sat back in his seat.

Sir Colbert nodded, but did not speak!

"Just tell me what it is! I will help you if I can!" Soran patted Colbert's shoulder and said in a very righteous manner.

Sir Colbert pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Sauron, what kind of woman do you think Helen is?"

"Huh! Why do you suddenly ask this?" Soran frowned.

Helen is the name of Countess Curtis, and her full name is Helen Elloria.

"Because I want you to pursue her!" Sir Colbert said firmly.

“Oh my god, brother, are you so direct? This is not a joke!” Soran quickly refused.

Although he meant it in this way, he couldn't say it so straightforwardly!

"Come on, everyone knows that you like Helen! You don't have to pretend anymore!" Sir Colbert said unhappily.

"No, is it really that obvious?" Soran felt guilty.

"The eyes are almost on Helen! How can it not be obvious? Even a pig can see it, but you are the only one who doesn't feel it!" Sir Colbert slapped Soran on the head.

The strength is just right, it doesn't hurt your brain!

"Ah! That's so embarrassing!" Soran felt a little embarrassed.

Sir Colbert slapped again, but Soran dodged it!

"Just tell me whether you agree or not!" Sir Colbert asked.

"Why me?" Soran asked.

He was really confused by Sir Colbert's sudden idea!

"Because you are the best young man I have ever met, and the most suitable to inherit the Katis name!" Sir Colbert praised affirmatively.

"No, you are not from the family of Count Katis. What does the inheritance of the surname Katis have to do with you? And why don't you pursue the Earl?" Soran had a big question mark on his face.

Sir Colbert waved his hand, wanting to hit Soran, but Soran continued to dodge subconsciously.

"I'm married and I have someone I love! How can I possibly pursue the Navy?" Sir Colbert was so angry that he laughed: "Besides, Frank and I are brothers in life and death, how can I pursue my brother's woman!"

Suddenly, Soran narrowed his eyes and looked at Sir Colbert with an intriguing expression: "You can't pursue your brother's woman, so you instigate others to pursue your brother's woman!"

"Oh~ you are really good at playing!"

Seeing Soran's despicable and annoying look, Sir Colbert slapped him without thinking.

Soran lowered his head subconsciously and successfully dodged again.

But Sir Colbert kicked again!

He kicked Soran's chair away, causing Soran to collapse on the ground!

"You are so cruel!" Soran said harshly.

Then he tactfully moved the chair and placed it farther away from Sir Colbert, out of reach of his kick.

Sir Colbert did not stop him, but continued: "Just tell me whether you agree or not!"

"Why do you insist that I pursue the Earl?" Soran was really puzzled.

Don’t bully your brother’s wife!

You are my brother’s wife, look for someone to ride on you!

This is a good brother! This is a dog brother! Even animals shouldn't do this!

"Alas! because these are my brother's last words!" sighed Sir Colbert.

Then he told Soran what had happened.

……

It turns out that every step taken by Count Frank and Countess Curtis from meeting each other to falling in love to knowing each other and staying together was very enviable.

And Sir Colbert, Earl Frank's half-brother, also believed that they could grow old together!

But unfortunately, fate was unfair. Less than two years after their marriage, Count Frank fell seriously ill and passed away in less than a month!

So Countess Curtis was left alone in the empty room.

Before his death in Midburg, Count Frank secretly summoned Sir Colbert and Butler Mark.

Count Frank instructed them to help Countess Katis inherit the title of earl, to protect the foundation of Count Katis's family, and not to let the Katis name disappear in history.

Of course, what Count Frank is most worried about is his beloved woman!

So in order to prevent his woman from living alone for the rest of her life, he asked Sir Colbert and Butler Mark to find a qualified husband for Countess Curtis to accompany her throughout her life.

Well~ you can also say that he is the first person to take over!

This was his brother's last words, so Sir Colbert and Butler Mark must do their best to fulfill it.

So after Count Frank passed away, facing the aggressiveness of the royal family, Sir Colbert and Butler Mark even threatened to launch a rebellion, and forced the royal family of the Kingdom of Midburg to let Count Frank's wife inherit the title of Count Curtis's family!

In the end, if it wasn’t for the critical moment when Butler Mark broke through to the level of Pillar State Knight, this matter might not have been resolved amicably.

However, later, Sir Colbert and Butler Mark had a disagreement on the issue of choosing a new husband for Countess of Curtis.

Butler Mark believes that the surname of Katis is more important to the inheritance of the family, so he hopes that Countess Katis will get married as soon as possible and give birth to an heir!

But Sir Colbert knew the importance of love, so he hoped that Countess of Curtis would marry someone she loved!

Of course, they were just talking, because Countess Curtis only loved Count Frank.

And that's why Butler Mark and Sir Colbert didn't force her too much and let her make her own choice!

But unfortunately, no one has ever made Countess Katis's heart beat for all this time!

And no suitable young man has appeared to gain the recognition of both Sir Colbert and Butler Mark!
