Her trust in Ryuga was clearly extraordinary, almost like a believer meeting a god, almost to the point of blindness.
Without this level of trust and worship, she wouldn't have been able to say something like 'all the assets of the clan are at your disposal'.
"Cough … Ugh."
It wasn't until Ryuga withdrew her mental pressure that the knight commander recovered. He glanced at Ryuga in shock, then coughed lightly, pretending that nothing had happened, and muttered to himself.
"What you said just now should be true, right? You're not lying to me? "
Being frightened by a young man in his twenties was a very shameful thing for him, but if he were to say it out loud, it would be even more shameful. It would be better to pretend that nothing had happened, and the knights behind him would have to keep their mouths shut after leaving.
Compared to this, he was more concerned about Ryuga's words.
As long as he was able to produce an accurate contribution, he would be able to take it all, whether it was the property of Saiat Hill or the merit of repelling the tide. This would be a huge income, perhaps several times more than what he had.
"Absolutely true, and I won't regret it."
Ryuga replied with certainty. Her words were full of certainty, without the slightest intention of deceiving him.
"Good … Then it's a deal!"
Although the knight commander felt that something was wrong, he didn't want to give up the huge wealth before his eyes.
On top of that, Liu Xia had slashed his spirit. Even now, he was still feeling uneasy. He had almost completely lost his cool. After thinking about it, he lost to greed in the end. He gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Then I wish you success."
Upon hearing this, Ryuga gave the knight commander a meaningful look.
Then, she no longer paid any attention to them and left the living room with Igure.
It wasn't until Ryuga left that the knight commander finally breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the chair. His inner shirt under his armor had long been soaked in sweat.
The few knights standing behind him exchanged glances with each other and pretended that they didn't see anything as they continued to look straight ahead.
… …
"Sir Yin-yang, how are you going to deal with them?"
After leaving the living room, Igure couldn't help but ask Ryuga curiously.
"Why? Don't you think I should think of a way to deal with them? "
Liu Xia didn't immediately answer her question. Instead, she turned to look at her and asked a question of her own.
"Hmm … Actually, from my personal point of view, even if the knight commander is at fault, the Queen or King should punish him according to the country's laws."
Igure's expression was somewhat hesitant. She was a rather rigid person who believed that everything should be done according to the rules, but after some thought, she spoke again..
"But, if it wasn't for Sir Yin-yang's help, I would've already, I would've been arrested by now. I believe in Sir's's decision.
Although she was strong enough, the knight commander was probably a little stronger than her. In addition, there were a few knights with good strength. It wouldn't be a problem to arrest her at all.
If Ryuga didn't stand up, she would've most likely been put in jail by the knight commander. Even her family property would've been taken away by outsiders.
"I've always been a little strange."
Ryuga stopped and looked up and down at Igure, "You seem to have a very blind trust and respect for me. We've only known each other for two days, right? Did I do something so easy to make you admire me? "
"What are you talking about?"
Igure replied with a matter-of-fact look, "You're willing to stand up and face the disaster for the residents here. It's enough to make people admire you. And I believe that with such dazzling swordsmanship, you're definitely someone worthy of my admiration!"
In other words.
The reason why she respected Ryuga was that Ryuga was willing to stand up and face the disaster head-on, saving a large number of survivors.
However, what really made her admire Liu Xia was the powerful swordsmanship that he had displayed when he was fighting the Three-Headed Demon Hound, which was powerful enough to kill the Demon Hound instantly.
Igure was a person who loved swordsmanship very much, so she would appreciate those who also loved swordsmanship and had excellent swordsmanship. Naturally, she had a strong admiration for Ryuga, who had such terrible swordsmanship.
With the combination of the two, it was like a fanatic meeting an idol, a fanatic meeting a god. Igure's trust in Ryuga reached the level of almost blind.
"I see. I understand."
Ryuga raised his eyebrows slightly and understood Igure's thought process, "As for the knight commander, you just have to watch carefully. Then you'll know how I'm going to deal with him. Don't worry. I'll make him shut up."
"Yes."
Igure immediately closed her mouth obediently and didn't ask any more questions.
…
On the other side.
In an open space in the territory, the knights were stationed here.
After being summoned by the knight commander, the knights who had been waiting outside also returned to the camp.
"Hahaha! Did you see the old man's expression just now? He said 'there are troops and knights stationed here, you can't mess around'. As a result, the old man didn't expect that we were the knights. "
"How many subhumans did you catch?"
"Not bad. We caught two of them. Although they were both children, there wasn't much of a difference after selling them as slaves. We earned a few dozen silver coins. When they were locked into the slave carriage, they were still shouting that 'the lord will save us'. They still don't know that the lord who was willing to shelter the sub-humans is already dead, right?"
"The subhumans are just livestock. I really don't know what the lord here is thinking. He is actually willing to shelter the subhumans."
Several knights in armor were talking and laughing in the camp, proudly showing off the harvest of their trip.
They had just gone to the subhuman village on the seaside.
The strength and aptitude of the subhumans were generally better than that of humans. Although other villages were completely destroyed, there were still a dozen survivors in the subhuman village who escaped with their lives.
However, the knights disguised themselves as thieves and killed their way into the subhuman village. They killed the worthless old subhumans and captured all the valuable young subhumans. They sold them to slave traders and made a lot of money.
The subhumans were not humans.
This was a common concept in this country.
They believed in "human supremacy" and believed that all creatures other than humans were livestock. Even the demi-humans and beastmen who looked similar to humans were no exception. In their eyes, the weak demi-humans and beastmen were no different from walking gold coins.
They could be treated like livestock, casually beaten and killed.
They could be captured and sold as slaves like livestock.
This was the current situation in this country called "Meromag".
