Chapter 74: Summoning Three New Subordinates! Using the Family

This evening, Roko summoned these three "new subordinates" in his tent.

Inside the tent, it was brightly lit.

Roko sat in the main seat, Fula stood quietly behind him, motionless.

Hart stood to the side, his gaze sharp, majestic without anger.

Gena, Alfred, and Xi Meng.

They stood in the center of the tent, somewhat constrained.

"Please sit down, the three of you."

Roko's voice was peaceful, showing no joy or anger.

Gena immediately piled a smile on his face and bowed.

"Thank you, Lord Roko."

After speaking, he carefully sat on half of the chair in the lower seat.

Alfred snorted, and although he sat down, his face still carried a hint of reluctance.

Xi Meng was even more nervous and at a loss, until Roko spoke again, he hurriedly sat down.

Roko took in the expressions of the three, and his heart was clear.

He picked up the teacup on the table, took a light sip, and said lightly.

"I think the three of you also know that from today on, your troops will be temporarily assigned to my command for unified direction."

"Later on the battlefield, we still need to work together to better complete the tasks assigned by the allied forces."

Gena immediately expressed his stance.

"Lord Roko is right, Gena will definitely follow the Lord's lead, no two words!"

Alfred curled his lips and didn't speak, but the disdain in his eyes was obvious.

In his view, Roko was just a hairy kid.

If it weren't for some dog-shit luck and climbing up some relationship, how could he become their immediate superior?

Xi Meng lowered his head and said in a small voice.

"Xi Meng will obey all of Lord Roko's arrangements."

Roko put down the teacup, and his gaze fell on Alfred.

"Alfred, you seem somewhat dissatisfied with my arrangements?"

Upon hearing this, Alfred was shocked in his heart, not expecting Roko to be so direct.

He braced himself and said.

"Subordinate dare not."

"Subordinate just feels that, given Lord Roko's age, it is probably difficult to convince the public."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the tent instantly condensed.

A flash of cold light crossed Hart's eyes, and he stepped forward half a step, a powerful aura instantly locking onto Alfred.

Alfred only felt a huge pressure rushing toward him, and even breathing became somewhat difficult.

His face changed slightly, and he secretly complained in his heart.

The guard beside this young noble actually had such formidable strength!

At least a Great Knight level powerhouse!

Just then, Roko waved his hand, signaling Hart to retreat.

He looked at Alfred, whose face was somewhat pale, and smiled lightly.

"Your concerns, I can understand."

"After all, I am indeed young."

"However, people of my Raymond family have never judged heroes by their age."

"Raymond family?"

Upon hearing this, Alfred's pupils shrank sharply.

The arrogance on his face instantly disappeared without a trace, replaced by a shock and panic that was hard to believe.

Gena and Xi Meng were also shocked, raising their heads abruptly, the gaze they looked at Roko with filled with horror and fawning.

In the Bulake Kingdom, there were not a few nobles with the surname Raymond.

However, a young noble who dared to hang the "Raymond family" on his lips so openly, and also had a Great Knight level powerhouse as a guard beside him.

His identity was self-evident!

"May I ask Lord Roko, are you Marquis Livis's..."

Gena's voice was trembling.

Marquis Livis, that was the current head of the Raymond family, one of the top power-holders in the Bulake Kingdom!

Roko smiled lightly, neither confirming nor denying.

"My father is indeed Marquis Livis."

Boom!

This answer was like a thunderbolt, exploding in the minds of the three.

Alfred's face instantly turned as pale as paper, his body trembling uncontrollably.

He thought of his own words just now that didn't know life from death, and his intestines were green with regret.

Offending the son of Marquis Livis was simply seeking his own death!

"Plop!"

Alfred could no longer support himself, his legs softened, and he knelt directly on the ground.

"Lord Roko, spare my life! Subordinate didn't know Mount Tai, offended the Lord, please forgive me!"

He kowtowed while begging for mercy incoherently.

Gena and Xi Meng also reacted, hurriedly stood up, bowed and saluted, their attitude respectful to the extreme.

"Greetings, Young Master Roko!"

The gaze they looked at Roko with now no longer had half the contempt and doubt, only deep awe and fawning left.

Roko looked at the three people's different reactions and secretly laughed in his heart.

The noble world was always so realistic.

Background and strength were always the most important passes.

"Get up."

Roko's voice remained peaceful.

"Those who don't know are not guilty; I won't take it to heart."

Upon hearing this, Alfred felt as if he had been granted amnesty, but he still didn't dare to stand up, just thanking him repeatedly.

"Thank you, Lord Roko! Thank you, Lord Roko!"

Roko waved his hand.

"Alright, get up."

"Since we are going to work together in the future, it is better to resolve some unnecessary misunderstandings early."

"I hope that in the upcoming actions, the three of you can do your best and not make any mistakes."

"Otherwise, military law is ruthless, and my Raymond family's face cannot be lost."

His words, although not heavy, contained a warning that made the three of them feel a chill in their hearts.

"Yes! Subordinate will definitely do my best to serve Lord Roko!"

Gena was the first to express his loyalty, his fawning appearance simply unbearable to look at.

Alfred also completely let go of his ridiculous pride, saying submissively.

"Please rest assured, Lord Roko, subordinate will definitely obey orders and not dare to have the slightest slack."

Xi Meng also gathered his courage and said in a small voice.

"Xi Meng will also obey the Lord's orders."

Roko nodded with satisfaction.

The purpose of the beating had been achieved, and next was the soothing.

"Very good."

"As long as the three of you can work loyally, I naturally won't treat you badly."

"I will try my best to fight for the merit on the battlefield for you."

"If you perform well, when you return to your respective territories in the future, you might even get rewards from the Kingdom."

These words were like drawing a big cake for the three, making their originally anxious hearts have a bit more anticipation.

Especially Gena, who was so excited his face turned red.

"Thank you, Lord Roko, for your cultivation! Subordinate will go through fire and water, and will not refuse!"

In the time that followed, Roko chatted with the three for a while, asking about the situation in their respective territories and the composition of their troops.

The atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

Of course, this harmony was more built on the deterrence of Roko's powerful background.

Half an hour later, the three of Gena respectfully exited Roko's tent.

The moment they walked out of the tent, the three of them let out a long breath in unison, their backs already soaked with cold sweat.

Alfred wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, still having lingering fears.

"Really didn't expect that this Lord Roko was actually the son of Marquis Livis!"

"We really had great luck this time!"

Gena's face was filled with the joy and excitement of surviving a disaster.

"Yeah! Who would have thought that we would be assigned under the command of the Marquis's son!"

"This is a great opportunity!"

"As long as we perform well and hold tight to this big thigh, will we still be afraid of not having a future in the New Wind Province?"

Xi Meng also said in a small voice.

"Lord Roko seems quite nice."

Alfred glared at him.

"What do you mean quite nice? That's called being approachable and not putting on airs!"

"In the future, in front of Lord Roko, be smarter, don't ever be stupid like I was just now!"

The three looked at each other, seeing a hint of luck and anticipation in each other's eyes. ===== CHAPTER 75 =====
