Remember in one second to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Thinking about it afterwards, Alonsos Faol's vision was really unique. The transformation success rate of the first generation of Paladins actually reached 100%.
Carlos completed the baptism ceremony for the eight grand knights of the Royal Knights of Alterac. The success rate was actually less than half. Only three of them survived the trial of the heart and gained the favor of the Holy Light.
The five losers all cried bitterly, immersed in sorrow and unable to control themselves.
The three steadfast men who had withstood the inner torture stood silently aside, waiting for their king's instructions.
"I know you have a lot of doubts and confusions. But explaining it in words is too weak, so I chose to let you feel the truth." Carlos glanced at the eight people present and said slowly.
"Your Majesty, please make it clear." Lilian Jackson looked directly at his king. After undergoing the torture of the heart, the new paladin no longer disdained the roundabout way of speaking.
"Please pay attention to your attitude, Your Excellency Lilian Jackson. The person in front of you is the king you swore allegiance to." Henry Schette was dissatisfied with the attitude of his colleagues and directly reprimanded him.
But Shang Gewenjie remained silent.
"The current situation is very complicated and chaotic. The current calm in Alterac City is just a balance point between many parties. Any action can break this calm, so I need your true allegiance, not just words. Perfunctory." Carlos's words were very slow and his tone was very gentle.
Slowly, several other great knights also recovered from their grief.
"Sorry, Your Majesty, I lost my composure. This feeling is really unpleasant." The Grand Knight Commander who failed to pass the Heart Trial said shyly while adjusting his appearance.
"Having the courage to accept the baptism of the Holy Light is something to be proud of. I have seen too many despicable people who try to get through and become ugly and twisted under the condemnation of their hearts. You should not be ashamed, but should be proud. "Carlos comforted everyone.
"It is indeed a rare experience. I have been addicted to power for so long that I almost forgot my original intention. I have a thousand excuses and reasons, but I can't lie to myself. My heart hurts." As he spoke, his beard was still gray. An old knight commander showed signs of losing his temper again.
"Please control your mood and listen carefully to what I am going to say next. This is very important." Carlos drew the attention of everyone present to himself and continued.
"I know you have heard some rumors, and you are also curious about why I appear here at this time. However, this is not important. The important thing is what we should do next. The reason why you are allowed to accept the baptism of the Holy Light is In order to let you understand one thing - the power of the Paladin comes from firm belief. Once the faith collapses, the Holy Light will no longer favor its user. And lies are poisonous to the Paladin, and lying will shake him. In your own heart, hypocritical remarks will weaken the power of the Paladin. I wonder if you agree with my remarks?"
After Carlos finished speaking, Lilian Jackson, Shangge Wenjie, and Henry Scheit nodded in agreement. The remaining five people thought about it for a while and agreed with the king's remarks.
"Then, I hereby swear that everything I do is for Alterac, and the starting point of all my actions is for the future of the kingdom. The king of Alterac did not die from my murder!"
After speaking, Carlos stood up, and the wings of holy light unfolded from behind. The majestic power of holy light filled the room, which resonated with the three newly promoted paladins, and the room was filled with glory for a while.
"With such pure holy light, you are destined to be a great king. Shangge Wenjie looks forward to your will."
"Lillian Jackson listens to His Holiness."
"Henry Scheit obeys the king's orders"
"Your will!" x5
"Since you believe what I said, then immediately return to the outside of the city and clean up the knights. I need your power."
Carlos issued his first order as the Grand Master of the Royal Knights of Alterac.
"Your will."
The eight knights quickly left after receiving the order.
"Cough cough cough cough cough..."
After a short cough and gasp, the wings of holy light behind Carlos turned into thousands of broken jade and disappeared into the void.
"Your Majesty, do you need a doctor to treat you?" Todd asked.
"Todd, just call me Master." Carlos took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and made a request to his personal butler.
"Yes, Your Majesty, OK, Your Majesty, no problem, Your Majesty." The butler obeyed.
"It's up to you. We've come this far and there's no going back." Carlos sighed.
"Your Majesty, do you need a doctor to treat you?" Todd asked again.
"It's just that he's too tired. Paladins don't get sick easily, so there's no need to make a fuss." Carlos waved his hand, and Todd understood and left the room, leaving His Majesty the King alone.
"Don't deceive the gods and ghosts, but don't deceive the heart. The Holy Light is the power of the ideal. I really can't believe what I said in the novel. It hurts me to death." Carlos breathed in the cold air, caressing his heart with one hand and rubbing his head with the other.
In the palace, Alex was dealing with a mountain of government affairs.
"Your Excellency, the Grand Duke, those dead remnants are indeed unsettled, and bad rumors about His Majesty Carlos have spread." The informant sent by the Duke to infiltrate the King's faction secretly reported to the Grand Duke Regent.
"No need to pay attention, just record the list. You should be careful not to be exposed for the time being." Alex replied.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Duke, I understand."
After the undercover agent left, Alex called in Aslander, the former captain of the Kingdom Guard and now the Minister of Military Affairs.
"How is the military reorganization in Alterac City completed?" Alex asked.
"It's not going well. There are about 3,000 troops confirmed to obey His Majesty, and there are still 2,000 people whose attitude is unclear. In extraordinary times, without orders from Your Majesty and the Grand Duke, I dare not act rashly." The Minister of Military Affairs replied.
"Just monitor it closely, don't worry if you don't need it." Alex gave action instructions.
"In addition, the Royal Knights..." Aslander nodded to indicate that he understood, and then raised a new question.
"Ignore it. Just leave the issue of the Royal Knights to His Majesty the King." Alex responded.
"In addition, guard the city gate tightly, no one is allowed in, no one is allowed out." Alex added.
"The eight great knights just left the city..." Minister of Military Affairs Aslander said hesitantly.
"……knew."
After thinking for a moment, Alex gave three ambiguous words.
"If you don't have any other instructions, I'll go down first."
"Go ahead."
After that, Alex spent all his time dealing with government affairs and receiving noble officials.
"Carlos, do you know how much trouble you got me into?"
The exhausted Alex heard the roll call of the guards outside the door, rubbed his temples, and braced himself to continue handling official duties. Who knew that the current king of the Kingdom of Alterac was his son.
"Your Majesty the Grand Duke, regarding His Majesty's order requiring Alterac to enter a state of all-out war, there are many people who are obstructing it behind the scenes."
Officials in charge of war mobilization orders brought the latest news.
"A bunch of guys who can't see the form clearly, I know. You go down, be prepared, I will handle it properly." Alex replied.
"Lu Sen, let Luo Yan come for a visit."
"Yes, sir."
When Alex received another nobleman and discussed some insignificant matters, Lu Sen sent the other person away with a smile, and before closing the door, he gave his master a special look.
"I want evidence of these people's crimes, all evidence that has nothing to do with treason, before dawn tomorrow." Alex threw a paper ball behind him and continued working.
When Lucen prepared dinner for Alex, the Grand Duke Regent finally got up from his chair and stretched.
Glancing at the open space behind the chair with his peripheral vision, Alex breathed a sigh of relief. .
