4. Noble status is useful
After looking up at Matthew carefully and making sure that he had completely remembered his appearance in his mind, Scott lowered his head and said sadly: "I'm sorry, General, I'm also very sad about this happening. It's all my fault. I failed to support my companions in time. Please punish me.
Scott's frank admits his mistakes slightly stunned Malfoy: "Then why didn't you support your companions in time?"
"Because on my way to support, another team of Frenchmen came out, and their army was completely above my army, and I had no choice but to deal with them and finally eliminate them one by one."
Speaking of this, Scott turned around and pointed at his army and said, "The reason why this war was able to win was thanks to the glorious guidance of His Majesty the King, the wise guidance of the general, and the heroic battle of my soldiers. Please allow me to express my respect and gratitude to all the warriors."
Scott's words were very sarcastic, and at least to everyone's ears, this reason was strong enough that no one could easily overturn it.
Malfoy glanced at Scott, then turned his gaze to the soldiers behind Scott: "Is this true or false of your general just said?"
As soon as these words came out, Scott's soldiers were in chaos. Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and I didn't know what to say.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Adjutant Leo immediately knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "The Lord's words are not lies. We did encounter harassment from the French army and failed to support our teammates in time. However, when facing the French army, we were able to escape with the Lord's extremely wise command. Otherwise, we would be very unlikely to come back alive, and we would not have the victory today."
Seeing that the soldiers had a backbone, they immediately knelt on one knee and swore loudly, saying that everything Scott said was the truth.
The soldier's slowness just now did not hide it from Matthew's eyes, so he immediately came to Malfoy's ear and whispered a few times.
Malfoy nodded and then said loudly: "Mr. Scott, although I believe you will not tell lies, I still want you to swear in the name of God."
After hearing Malfoy's command, Scott immediately drew a cross on his chest, then raised his right hand and sweared solemnly: "I, Scott, swore before the Lord today. If I have false words today, I will accept all the punishments of the Lord and deprive me of the noble title of Lancaster family, and will never return to England again in my life."
As a time traveler, Scott knew better than anyone else about God, so he swears that this kind of thing was just a matter of minutes for him, just the soldiers behind him? They are all products of medieval religious culture. Will they be the same as themselves?
While Scott was worried, the soldiers behind him took a breath after hearing his oath. The oath was too cruel.
Since the Lord's noble status spoke like this, the soldiers behind him naturally had no scruples. They all followed Scott and opened their eyes to lie, "We wait to swear before the Lord, everything we say today is true. If there is any violation, we are willing to accept the punishment of being expelled from England forever."
"Get up quickly, Mr. Scott, we believe you." Seeing that Scott and others' oaths were so vicious, Malfoy quickly stood up and pulled Scott up: "Is Mr. Scott also from the Lancaster family? Why haven't I seen you in London?"
Scott stood up and replied: "It is normal for the general to have never seen me in London, because my family is a side branch of the Lancaster family, and we have always lived in the East England region! This time His Majesty the King wants to recruit a large number of people to fight the mainland, so the Lancaster family recruited me."
After listening to Scott's explanation, Malfoy's smile became brighter, because in his impression, there was indeed a branch of the Lancaster family in East England, and the power of this branch was particularly noble among the Lancaster family. Therefore, when facing Scott, Malfoy became more enthusiastic.
"Dear Mr. Scott, I was offensive just now, please forgive me." Holding Scott's hand, Malfoy kept chattering.
During the following conversation, Scott learned that General Malfoy was a loyal defender of the Lancaster family. Both the Lancaster family and the side branch of the Lancaster family, Malfoy respected them very much.
Matthew and others bowed their heads and said nothing about this. After all, the Lancaster family is too powerful. They are the same as His Majesty the King Henry VI. Offending the Lancaster family is like offending His Majesty the King. Therefore, if you encounter the Lancaster family, it is best to give in, even if the other party is just a side branch of the Lancaster family.
After revealing the identity of the Lancaster family, the next thing was much easier. The heads and spoils were quickly exchanged into gold coins, and Scott also recorded a harsh note on the credit book.
Scott was naturally extremely satisfied with this and immediately expressed to Malfoy: "Thank you for your care, General Malfoy, when I return to England, I will definitely praise you in front of His Majesty the King and Lord Edmund Beaufort."
Anyway, there are many such short checks, which means talking, so it is beneficial to say more.
Malfoy was naturally extremely happy about this kind of short check: "Thank you, Mr. Scott."
After talking to Malfoy for a while, they increased their feelings for each other, and Scott happily returned with the gold coins.
After returning to the camp, he ordered several personal soldiers to patrol the safety. Only then did Scott recruit all the soldiers: "You all performed well just now, and the Lord is very happy about this, so the bounty will be increased this time."
The soldiers' performance just now was indeed a bit beyond Scott's expectations. I thought that under God's oppression, these soldiers would be brought truthfully, but I didn't expect that they would follow them unswervingly, which moved Scott very much.
"Although we are very scared, we are not afraid again when we see the Lord's swearing so hard."
"That's right, the Lord's identity is extremely noble anyway. Even if God wants to punish him, the Lord's will definitely be the first one. If the Lord is ahead, we will be fearless."
"When we came to France from England, the Lord was always taking care of us and caring for us. Even if we use our lives, it is difficult for us to repay the Lord's kindness. So what if we say a few lies for the Lord!"
