Chapter 978 Private Message
After listening to his son's retelling, He Yun frowned and looked at his son with regret: "Stupid, Duke Palmer organized a counterattack, and our He family certainly cannot stay out of it.
Now is the time for both sides to understand each other and run in. What position we will have in the future depends on our current performance.
If you stay out of the circle, you will be eaten as a dish sooner or later."
He Yun doesn't think that the counterattack is Duke Palmer's business alone.
It's also for the people of the Dark Faction. It's not reasonable to let Duke Palmer do it alone.
Or, this is a friendship activity led by Duke Palmer.
In the cruel competition of the Dark Empire, military force is the main indicator of status.
Next, the performance of each family will determine their future position.
He Yun analyzed it in detail, and He Wei finally understood the meaning behind this matter.
In fact, if he is given more time, he will definitely see through it.
"If that's the case, our family will suffer." He Wei's face was ugly. He lost too much combat power on the way to escape. If he rushed to fight at this time, wouldn't he be unlucky?
"Wait, my guess may not be right. Let's see if the Duke will send someone to notify us." He Yun was calm. How could the Duke not know the situation of each family?
So force is only the main criterion for measurement. There must be differences in the specific responses of each family.
He Kai listened for a long time and took the initiative to say: "Gather the knights in the family and hand them over to me. I will lead the team to the battlefield when the time comes."
"No!" He Wei denied excitedly. The family finally had a reliable force, how could he take risks.
If it was a well-trained elite knight group, like before, he would be more at ease.
But a group of rabble gathered together. He Kai was not going to the battlefield, but to die.
He himself was worried that he would collapse on the battlefield all of a sudden.
He Yun looked at He Kai with a high look. What kind of person is he? He was an old fox who had experienced the ups and downs of officialdom and had seen countless changes in people's hearts.
He Kai's thoughts were clearly revealed in front of him and could be easily guessed.
So the He family was trying to win He Kai's heart on the one hand, and on the other hand, they were also taming his ambition step by step.
Ambition is allowed, but it must be controllable.
But after this incident, he also became more open-minded. If you have ambition, you have ambition. Honest people can't survive in this world.
Therefore, He Yun pondered for a while and said to He Kai: "There are still some elite knights in the family. I will give them all to you. Continue to set up a knight selection training camp. You can select the personnel yourself. I will try not to let you participate in this counterattack, but you will definitely not be able to avoid it in the future."
"Uncle, I can actually go to the battlefield." He Kai fought for it. He thought He Yun was worried about his safety.
"I'm not dead yet, it's not time for you guys to fight to the death." He Yun laughed and scolded, and when he saw that He Kai, He Wei and others were honest, he explained to them: "Let me tell you this, Duke Palmer knows our situation and will not force us to go to the battlefield.
When the time comes, some people will contribute, and some people will not contribute, and it will be over.
This time, the counterattack mainly depends on attitude, and let us adapt to it, but next time, I'm afraid it will be real."
This is the result of He Yun's own analysis.
He Wei still didn't believe it. His father was sitting at home. Could he guess what Duke Palmer was thinking?
"If you guess wrong, father, isn't our family finished?" He Wei asked.
"If I guess wrong, you and He Kai will go to the battlefield and fight to the death. When it comes to life and death, no one can escape." He Yun pretended to be angry and said.
This bastard boy, who was just messing around day by day, really thought that political changes would come as soon as he said it?
No matter what Duke Palmer thinks, he will certainly convey it to the outside world through various channels, and will not let everyone guess in confusion.
The He family was talking about this, and just then an envoy came, saying that he came on the order of Duke Palmer.
A phoenix in trouble is worse than a chicken, not to mention that the He family is not a phoenix in front of Duke Palmer.
So He Yun personally welcomed the envoy in.
Unlike the Blue Star Federation, the envoys of the Dark Empire are basically knights and attendants around big figures.
This time, it is an attendant who is more like a civil official. Except for a sword on his waist, there is no trace of military atmosphere.
Just the appearance of the envoy, He Yun has a bottom in his heart.
Duke Palmer is indeed not a mean and ungrateful person. He did not force everyone to fight on the battlefield as soon as he came.
Even to He Yun’s personal welcome, the envoy was flattered.
"Mr. He Yun, I am just the Duke's attendant, no need to be so polite." The envoy humbly sat in the guest seat.
He Yun said with a smile: "The Duke's attendants represent the Duke, how dare we neglect them?"
"Sir, you are joking. I came here today to convey some personal words for the Duke. Please listen to me." The messenger paused for a moment, and seeing that He Yun was listening carefully, he said: "The Duke said: The He family has just moved and has suffered serious losses in strength. Tomorrow I will formally grant them the title of baron, fiefdom, money, weapons and armor. I hope that the He family can recover their strength as soon as possible and establish an immortal family.
As for this counterattack, you don't need to participate, just rest assured."
He Yun stood up and said, imitating the etiquette of the Dark Empire: "Thank you, Duke, for your reward."
From being aloof, to bowing his head, He Yun changed without any pressure.
Even the people from the Dark Empire can't find any fault with it.
The messenger saw everything in his eyes before continuing: "I would like to remind you privately that the Duke's granting of the title of baron is an exception. You still need to get the honor of a noble by yourself, otherwise no one will be convinced.
Please remember one sentence, every stroke on the family crest is the glorious achievement of the nobles. "
It is said to be a private reminder, but everyone knows that how can a messenger dare to mix in private goods without permission?
I'm afraid this is what the Duke meant. It's just that the reward comes first, but the warning is more tactful.
This is the Duke's kindness and kindness, but if someone really doesn't take it seriously, I'm afraid he will be struck by thunder sooner or later.
He Yun took it in. It was not his original intention for the He family to move here, but the current situation was like this, so he had to recognize the reality.
Besides, if things develop well, they may not be worse than before.
"Envoy, please rest assured, the He family will never let the Duke down."
He Yun's assurance made the envoy smile. At least the He family's performance was acceptable for now.
As for the future, it depends on performance. No one will naively believe in a few words of guarantee.
But at least there is a foundation of mutual trust now. What happens next depends on whether He Yun can fulfill his promise.
