"Berg, I've been feeling very uneasy lately." Karl ate the breakfast made by the chef after his guidance as usual. Although it was as delicious as ever, he seemed to have a hard time swallowing it.

"Sir Sir, this is just your random thinking. Maybe you should take a good rest. After all, you are too tired these days." Berg shrugged. Carl was really used to working, but he couldn't adapt to it when he was free. He had to give

Find something to do by yourself, such as directing the projects being built in the territory.

"Maybe." Karl said casually, and he didn't know if it was an illusion.

"By the way, Sir, the Knights of St. John have agreed to negotiate with us," Berg said suddenly.

"The Knights of St. John? Well, I understand." Karl nodded. The Knights of St. John are a knighthood temporarily stationed in the town of Havel. They serve the Lord and their faith is everything to them. As long as they can fight against the infidels,

, spread the glory of the Lord, then they will not even need payment.

In this war between the Earl of Lens and the Chief of Fort Carmel, the Knights of St. John did not participate. They were not vassals of the Earl of Lens, nor were they under the jurisdiction of the Earl of Lens, and the Earl of Lens was not involved.

Didn't recruit them.

To be precise, the Earl of Rens didn't know about their existence at all. He lived in Rensberg all year round and naturally didn't know much about the forces in Winterburg County. The Knights of St. John only recently moved their headquarters.

Arrive at the town of Havel.

Berg also happened to encounter a member of the Knights who was in trouble near the town of Javier recently. He was being attacked by a male while the other knights were not around. At the critical moment, Berg led his guards to deal with the male.

It is precisely because of this that Berg gained friendship with the Knights of St. John and acted as a bridge between Carl and the Knights of St. John.

"In the afternoon, they will send a knight to your territory to meet you in the afternoon." Berg added.

"Okay, I understand." Carl murmured. These religious knights who fight for their beliefs have great power, and their beliefs make them invincible on the battlefield.

However, this does not mean that these religious knights are easy to get along with. In fact, if a noble really relies on each other, it will not be long before his power will be completely penetrated by these religious knights. Although every one of them

The nobles all believe in the Lord, but no one wants the religious power in their territory to be too strong.

Of course, he doesn't need to consider this issue now. He only hopes to get the help of the Knights of St. John. His strength is really too weak. If he can get the help of the Knights of St. John, then if he launches an attack on the French

The Luo people's war will be a big boost.

…

"The noble Sir Carl Dias, Lord of the Manor of Sylde, and personal knight of the Earl of Lens, I, Van Steve, salute you."

The Knights of St. John were very punctual. In the afternoon, a well-equipped knight came to Carl's territory with the flag of the Knights of St. John.

"Honorable Sir Vane, may God bless you." Karl looked at this young man. His face was resolute and solemn. There seemed to be a kind of power in his eyes. Karl knew that it was faith.

, an iron cross was worn around Wain's neck, as if the Lord could look at him in this way.

"I am speaking to you on behalf of the elders of the Order of St. John."

Karl was dumbfounded. It seemed that this young man had a very impatient temper, so he got straight to the point.

"Of course, if you have the right." Karl nodded, that's fine, he is not good at chatting either.

"I have received permission from the elders to represent the Knights of St. John." Wine said without hesitation.

Karl silently memorized this sentence. It seemed that Vane's status in the Knights of St. John was not low.

"Well, of course, I hope to discuss alliance with the Knights of St. John." Karl shrugged.

"Form an alliance?" Vann seemed not to have expected that Karl would suddenly say such a word, and was slightly stunned. He originally expected that Karl wanted them to help him launch a war against the Flor people.

"Yes, it is an alliance. I hope that we can protect the existence of both of us in this way. Once the Flor people launch an attack on us, we can help each other. And if someone from both of us launches a war against the Flor people, the other

We also need full help." Karl explained that this was his wishful thinking. The military strength of Silder Manor was good, and there were some cavalry, but the number of knights was still too small, and he needed help from knights such as the Knights of St. John.

Strength support.

"Sir, your suggestion is very interesting, but we, the Knights of St. John, prefer to pray in a church with the Lord and not get involved in disputes between nobles. In fact, if it were not for repaying Mr. Berg for our Knights of St. John,

Due to the group's kindness, maybe we wouldn't come here at all. Of course, we don't mean to look down on you, but we prefer peace and quiet."

After Varn came to his senses, he rejected Karl's proposal without hesitation. The Knights of St. John did not need this.

"No, my friend, maybe you didn't hear me clearly. What I said is that if both of us suffer or attack the Flor people, the other side will provide help. This obviously does not include the Dillman nobles." Karl

Knowing that the other party has misunderstood, perhaps now in the other party's view, he wants to use this method to drag the Knights of St. John into becoming secular knights.

"Oh? Is it only limited to Flo people?" Vann touched his chin and pondered...

"Of course, you are all noble and powerful knights. You are the faithful servants of the Lord. How could I let you interfere in worldly affairs? But if we can defeat the Flor people and spread the Lord's message in the territory of the Flor people,

Gospel, that is also a great honor for the Knights of St. John." Carl talked eloquently, seducing Varn step by step, during which all kinds of good things seemed to be said "accidentally", which made Varn very happy.

It's enjoyment.

"Well, you are right Sir Carl, but maybe we still need to think carefully about what we will get after forming an alliance, and what we each need to be responsible for.

Karl was overjoyed, knowing that the other party was moved.

"Hmm... I wonder what the Knights of St. John hope to get?" Karl remained calm and put the question to the Knights of St. John to let the other party speak.

"Well... maybe the wealth of land is a good choice."

Karl was stunned. Varn's words made him at a loss. Isn't this a religious knight? Why has it been reformed now? The religious knights have also started to ask for rewards? What the good guy wants is land and wealth. Is this going to be treated as a fief?

Seemingly seeing Karl's surprise, Van just smiled and said: "Diligence and thrift are indeed a good virtue, and we will implement this virtue, but we also need enough money and land to maintain our knights.

We need these to keep our bodies strong so we can continue to serve the Lord."

Karl secretly slandered in his heart that these religious knights are usually upright and dignified. Are they not trying to get benefits?

Of course, that's what I thought, but Karl still had to put on a natural face.

"Of course it's no problem, my friend. If we can really win victory on the territory of the Flor people in the future, those are what the Knights of St. John should get."

"Oh, you are really a noble nobleman, the Lord will bless you." After hearing Karl's words, Vane was quite happy. Although it was just a blank check, it was still a promise.

The two parties chatted for a while and completed some details.

"Perhaps it's time for me to leave. I have to report these things to the elders." Varn stood up. After all, he only represents the elders of the Knights, but he is not the elders of the Knights after all. He has to deal with such a big matter.

Go back and ask for instructions.

"Of course, my friend, I really appreciate you today. Maybe I can ask the soldiers to give you a ride?" Karl suggested. After all, the war is in chaos now. Who knows whether a group of Flor people will suddenly come.

"It's more convenient for me to be alone without my friends." Varn waved his hand. In fact, this is indeed the case. Following a large number of soldiers will not make him safer, but will only make his goal bigger and more difficult.

It is easy to be discovered by the enemy, and it is even difficult to leave quickly.

"Well, I wish you a safe journey." Karl just mentioned it casually. Since the other party refused, he would naturally not insist anymore.

…

"Vane, have you returned from that noble's territory?"

When Vaan led his horse tiredly back to the station of the Knights of St. John, many knights gathered around him and asked Vaan about the situation.

Their equipment seems to be a little worn out, which is normal. Most of the knights in the religious knights do not have their own fiefs, so of course they do not have enough funds to maintain their own needs, and the subsidies given by the knights are also pitiful.

, the Knights of St. John, who have great faith in the Lord, have taken the virtue of diligence and thrift to the extreme. To put it bluntly, they are poor.

"Yes, that is a very good nobleman, and after my observation, the Silder Manor also has a strong military strength. By the way, let's not talk about it for now. I have something to tell the elders. Elders

Where are you now?" Varn shook the dust off his body and asked his companion.

"Maybe in the conference room."

Varn nodded, handed the war horse to the retinue, and walked straight towards the conference room. He needed the consent of the elders.

On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, Carl, the lord of the Seld Manor, reached an agreement with the Knights of St. John, and the two parties formed an alliance against the Flor people.
