Come to another world and become a lord
Chapter 69 Advance and retreat together
After a long time, Edmund suddenly said as if he had thought of something:
"Actually, this matter is not that complicated. Now the Graven Valley is going to break away from Morgan Territory, but what does this have to do with Rickburg?"
When he finished speaking, he paused and looked at the other three people. After seeing that they all agreed, he continued:
"Now, as long as Lord Carl withdraws from Greyburg and asks Earl Morton for help in dealing with the four of us, it is not impossible for us to shake hands and make peace and put aside the past grudges!"
"Yes~"
"That's right." The other three nodded in agreement again.
Looking at the people nodding continuously, Carl said:
"You mean you can persuade Morton to withdraw his troops?"
Edmund said:
"I mean we can persuade Moulton not to become an enemy of Rickburg."
"Lord Carl, as long as you are willing to withdraw, and with the three of us mediating, I believe Lord Morton will not go to extremes." Catherine also persuaded softly.
"So, what about Greyburg?" Carl asked suddenly.
"What?" Several people looked at him in surprise at the same time.
"Legally speaking, Greyburg is, after all, a part of the Morgan Territory. It is, after all, a private matter between the lord and his retainers." Edmund hesitated as he said this.
Carl's answer was very firm:
"I'm sorry, if that's the case, I can't agree to that."
Katerin shouted in confusion at this time:
"But what does this have to do with you? To be honest, Lord Carl, you are not in a position to interfere in this matter."
"A position? Of course I do! Maybe you don't know, but Henry had already proposed to me that his daughter Selena should be married to me before he died. From this perspective, I am Selena's fiancé."
“This…” Karl’s words left them speechless again.
Seeing that they were silent, Carl continued:
"Now, my fiancée's territory is in trouble. From the perspective of a man, or a future co-ruler, we can't just sit back and watch."
He then added:
"I will stay in Greyburg and stand with my fiancée to fight against the invaders together!"
The half-elf Emilio lowered his head in frustration.
"I don't understand~" he said, "What's the point? If I die, what's the point of everything?"
"Meaning?" Carl laughed, "Perhaps its meaning is persistence itself."
"Hmm~" the dwarf Goswin sighed and said, "As a businessman, I want to say that this deal is not cost-effective, but as a man, I want to tell you, don't worry about whether it is cost-effective or not, screw him! A man should protect his woman!"
The talks between the two sides lasted for several hours, and when the four presidents left, they all had expressions of frustration and helplessness on their faces.
Alia looked at Carl with some curiosity:
"So, what you said is true~"
But Karl's words surprised her:
"How is that possible? I'm just telling those four people. What if Morton really attacks us in large numbers? How long can Greyburg hold out with its defense level?"
As he spoke, he walked out of the meeting room and continued to instruct Alia:
"We still need to prepare and go back to Rickburg. Not only do we have to go back, but Selena must go with us. She is the only legitimate heir to the Graven Valley now. Even if Morton really conquers the entire valley, as long as Selena stands on our side and accuses Morton of killing Henry, justice will be on our side."
Even if you cannot win the battle, you cannot lose the greater good. Even if you have to go to the king in the end, at least you can still be in the right.
But just after he walked a short distance, he saw Henry's knights surrounding him:
"Lord Carl, we have all heard that you will live and die with Greyburg!" a knight shouted excitedly.
"no……"
Carl wanted to explain, but he heard another knight shout first:
“As expected of you, Lord Karl! Lord Henry was not wrong about you when he was alive!”
"Calm down first..."
No one cared what he said, they just kept shouting:
"There are no cowards in Greyburg! Even Lord Carl is willing to stand with us. We must not surrender even if it means death!"
"I do not……"
Then he saw Selena again, standing there, her eyes moist and her face slightly red, looking at him with gratitude:
"Thank you, Carl..."
Alia looked at Carl like a funny person and said with a smile:
"What are you going to do now?"
Karl sighed helplessly, then asked everyone to be quiet, and then said:
"In fact, I want to discuss with you that Miss Selena should go to Rickburg temporarily."
"Lord Karl, you... would rather stay and take all the risks yourself, and think about protecting Miss Selena..." The knights showed their gratitude again.
"No, what I meant was..."
Carl wanted to correct him, but before he could finish his words, he heard Selena shouting:
"I won't leave! I want to stay and protect Greyburg with everyone!"
"But Miss Selena..."
"This is the duty of a lord!"
The tone was childish, yet full of determination.
"Ms. Selena..."
"Okay!" The knights nodded in emotion, "Let us defend our land together, and live and die together!"
"We live and die together!"
Selena, all the knights, and even Alia screamed at this time, except for Carl, who just raised his hand symbolically, and then slapped his forehead with a distressed look.
When passing by the warehouse, I saw Selena standing there, struggling to move out a pair of swords and shields.
Carl walked forward curiously:
"This is... a gift from President Goswin."
"Yeah, I thought it was very strange at the time. Why would someone give me a weapon? It was probably the strangest gift of the whole place." Selena said with a smile.
"It's quite in line with the style of the dwarves."
The girl nodded:
"Yes, but I didn't expect that this strangest weapon would be the most useful now."
As she spoke, she picked up the sword and shield with some difficulty and swung them twice clumsily and shakily.
"Actually, you don't have to stay here any longer..."
Before Karl finished speaking, the girl replied firmly:
"I must be here. I am their lord. My father ruled this land with integrity and bravery. As his daughter, I cannot bring disgrace to the name of the Gretel family."
Karl did not continue to persuade her. He just looked at the girl silently, her petite but determined back. Finally, he walked up to her and raised his hand:
"Then let us protect it together!"
"Yes, Lord Carl!"
The girl nodded vigorously, and her two arms, one thick and one thin, collided with each other.
