At such a dinner party with the theme of "enjoyment", discussing business matters with others is a very disrespectful behavior that does not take into account the atmosphere or the occasion.
Su Cheng naturally understood this, and if possible, Su Cheng did not want to bother Jacob tonight.
However, this matter is really important and cannot be discussed.
Although historically, it was a very common behavior to surrender captured enemies.
However, Su Cheng still couldn't accept it. Why did he recruit Allen?
Recruit and surrender the Franks who had killed at least nearly 100,000 soldiers of the Britannia Empire and brought a lot of trouble to the Britannia Empire.
Su Cheng believed that most of the knights must be very unhappy.
Jacob's face instantly turned ugly, and he drank the wine in the glass with a sullen face.
bump!
He placed the wine glass in his hand heavily back on the table.
"...I was strongly opposed to recruiting Allen to surrender at first..."
"Not long after Mr. Cheng, you brought Allen back as a prisoner, Ge Zewen and I went into the prison together to meet Allen."
"Mr. Cheng, I should have told you that the ability that I, Jacob, am most proud of is that I have a pair of eyes that are good at recognizing people."
"The first time I saw Allen, I felt that Allen could never surrender!"
As soon as Jacob finished speaking, Su Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then asked:
"Mr. Jacob, why do you say that?"
"..."
Jacob was silent for a while, then sighed softly and said:
"I can't tell. Anyway, after seeing Allen for the first time, my instinct told me that Allen Jones must be killed on the spot and must not be surrendered!"
"But... Ge Zewen can't listen to what I say..."
Speaking of this, Jacob's face showed pain.
"No matter how I tried to persuade Gozevin, he was determined to recruit Allen to surrender."
"He also listed with me several reasons for recruiting Allen."
"First, Alan can speak Britannia, so there is no need to worry about language barriers."
Su Cheng listened carefully and nodded from time to time.
Allen can speak Britannia, which Su Cheng knows.
After capturing Allen during the Weihe Annihilation Battle, Su Cheng briefly chatted with Allen.
Alan speaks Britannia quite well, although there are still some strange accents and accents in it, but it is still possible to communicate normally with Britannians.
Britannia is very similar to Frankish.
Therefore, it is very simple for Britons to learn Frankish and for Franks to learn Britannia.
In Allen's decades of military career, most of his time was spent dealing with the Britannia Empire.
Therefore, Su Cheng was not surprised that Alan could speak Britannia.
"Second, our Britannia has also recruited many people from the Frank Empire. After being recruited into the Britannia Empire, most of these people have made one or more contributions to Britannia.
Or less contribution. Gozevin is willing to believe that Allen can make contributions to the Britannia Empire like these people."
"As for the third item..."
When Jacob said this, he paused, sighed again, and then continued:
"The third article is that our empire is in urgent need of stronger knights to help the empire overcome the current difficulties."
After hearing what Jacob said, Su Cheng's expression changed slightly.
These words of Jacob are a bit heavy...
After Jacob filled his wine glass with wine, he raised it to his lips, took a sip gently, and then continued:
"Although the previous rescue battle for the Kingdom of Lund was a victory for our Britannia Empire,... we have to admit that our losses in this battle were also huge."
"More than 10,000 elite soldiers of the Knights of Gabriel are just gone. Every soldier of our three major knights in Britannia is undoubtedly very valuable. We lost more than 10,000 at once.
He is a knight, and he is also a soldier of the most elite Knights of Gabriel. This is already a considerable loss to our empire."
"However, this is not the biggest loss in this rescue battle for the Kingdom of Lunde. If the soldiers are gone, they can easily be replaced."
"But... one knight is gone, especially one of the Four Knights. This is our biggest loss in this rescue battle in the Kingdom of Lund."
"The Four Knights are the strongest knights besides the unified knights. Now we in Britannia only have a few of them. Losing any one of them will bring unpredictable losses to our empire."
"Our Britannian Empire is currently at war with the Frankish Empire in the east and the Rollin Empire in the south. It is also possible that we will enter a state of war with the Holy Hiran Empire in the north at any time. Under such a severe situation
, the Four Knights cannot afford to lose any of them."
"During the rescue battle in the Kingdom of Lund, we lost the Four Knights Nicholas, which made Gozevin very anxious."
"I have been friends with Ge Zewen for decades. I know him very well. The two reasons listed before for surrendering Allen are all nonsense. Only the third one is the real reason for him to surrender Allen.
In order to add new and stronger Four Knights as quickly as possible."
"well……"
Jacob sighed again, drank all the wine in the cup, and continued:
"Gosevin... also went to recruit Allen to surrender for the sake of Britannia. Although I still feel that it is inappropriate to recruit Allen, I am too embarrassed to say anything more, so I just let Gozevin do it.
Go and recruit Allen."
"Ge Zevin went to the prison where Allen was held seven times and tried to persuade him to surrender seven times. Only after the seventh time did Allen agree to surrender to us in Britannia."
"Then, a few days ago, Ge Zewen informed you of a big meeting to inform you that Allen surrendered to us and became the new Four Knights of our empire."
After listening to Jacob's words, Su Cheng, with a heavy expression, nodded and said:
"So that's it...I understand."
Jacob looked at Su Cheng with a heavy expression, sighed slightly, and then said:
"Mr. Cheng, I know you have some complaints about Allen's transformation from a mortal enemy to a companion, but please be patient."
"My intuition has always told me that there is something wrong with Allen, so I am also a little unhappy and worried about the fact that Allen has become our knight in Britannia. I have some doubts that this Allen does not really mean it.
Surrender to us."
"But please don't worry. I will keep a close eye on Allen. If Allen does anything strange, even if it offends Ge Zewen, I will take down Allen immediately!"
Su Cheng smiled bitterly, and then said:
"Mr. Jacob, you should not say this to me, 'Please be patient for a little bit.' You should say it to the people, including Alyssa, who have enmity with Allen."
"To be honest, I'm quite worried about Alyssa. Mr. Nicholas is Alyssa's very beloved elder. Allen killed Mr. Nicholas, which means that Allen is Alyssa's enemy. He finally defeated the enemy and defeated her.
He was a prisoner, but in the blink of an eye he became his companion."
"You can imagine how Alyssa feels when her enemy turns into a companion. Therefore, what you just said, Mr. Jacob, should be said to Alyssa most."
"Miss Alyssa..." Jacob muttered, "That's right... When I have time, I will also go to Mr. Iser's house and visit Mr. Iser and Miss Alyssa. Mr. Nicholas
He is a good friend of Mr. Iser, so he recruited Allen, and Mr Iser must have felt very uncomfortable..."
Speaking of this, Jacob suddenly put on a strange smile and said to Su Cheng in a joking tone:
"Mr. Cheng, you seemed to have said 'I'm quite worried about Alyssa' just now. You seem to be quite concerned about Miss Alyssa."
Before Su Cheng could answer, Jacob continued:
"What? Mr. Cheng, do you have a crush on Miss Alyssa? Or do you like Miss Alyssa?"
"puff!"
Su Cheng, who was drinking, spat out all the wine in his mouth in one breath after listening to Mr. Jacob's words.
Su Cheng frantically wiped the remaining wine from his mouth and said:
"Mr. Jacob! What are you talking about? I'm just expressing my concern for my friends! Why do you go so far and involve love and love?"
However, Jacob seemed not to have heard what Su Cheng said and continued to talk to himself:
"It seems that the relationship between you two has improved a lot after the rescue battle in the Lund Kingdom. Before, you used to say 'Miss Alyssa' very respectfully, but now you call her 'Ellie' directly and affectionately."
Shah’s.”
"Actually, Miss Alyssa is a good girl. I should have told you before, right? Although Miss Alyssa is a somewhat arrogant person, overall she is a lovely girl with a good temper."
"Mr. Cheng, if you have a good impression of her or like her, you can go and pursue her. But first of all, Miss Alyssa is not easy to pursue. Since Miss Alyssa became an adult, she has been pursuing Alyssa.
Miss, there are countless people who proposed marriage to Mr. Iser, but they were all rejected by Miss Alyssa."
"After all these years, no one has been able to successfully pursue Miss Alyssa, but it's no wonder, after all, Miss Alyssa's standards for choosing a spouse are too harsh."
Hearing this, Su Cheng suddenly felt a little curious, so he asked Jacob:
"Mr. Jacob, what are Alyssa's criteria for choosing a mate? They are so harsh that after so many years, no one has been able to successfully pursue Alyssa."
"Miss Alyssa has only one criterion for selecting a mate, and that is 'a knight of her generation who is stronger than her'."
"Okay, I understand why Alyssa has been single until now. Where can I find a knight of her generation who is stronger than Alyssa..."
"Hahahahahaha, so Mr. Iser is also very troubled by this. He has told Miss Alyssa several times to lower the conditions for mate selection, but Miss Alyssa still insists on this standard for mate selection and is unwilling to lower the standard.
.I really don’t understand why Miss Alyssa is so insistent that her future husband must be a stronger knight than her."
After saying that, Jacob smiled bitterly and shook his head gently.
Su Cheng also nodded with deep understanding.
Jacob took out his pocket watch, looked at the time, and then said:
"It's almost time for the banquet to start, and there are more and more people. Mr. Cheng, let me give you a piece of advice. You'd better walk around and eat and drink now. If it's later, you may be unable to move.
Oh."
"Huh? Mr. Jacob, why?"
After listening to Su Cheng's question, Jacob showed a strange smile.
"Because, this year-end dinner is not only attended by the heroes of the year, but also by many nobles from all over the country and at all levels. According to our regulations in Britannia, nobles from all over the country and at all levels participate.
, you can bring your family members to attend the year-end dinner.”
"In the year-end dinners over the years, most of the family members brought by the nobles are their unmarried daughters."
