Eagle’s Glory

"The moment you see me, you've got the best chance of your life!"

As soon as Egron finished speaking, his words were immediately translated into Greek by Edmund Dantès next to him, and the lobby immediately fell into dead silence.

Although he personally acted impassioned and full of confidence, the people who looked at each other did not get excited because of this.

Obviously, the people present are all adults, who have already experienced too many turmoil in this turbulent era, how could they get excited because of other people's few words?

On the contrary, seeing a seemingly immature young man talking loudly here, they didn't laugh on the spot, it was already giving Aigron face-of course, they also cared about the face of the guards next to them.

Aegron wasn't surprised or angry by their reaction, he'd known it would be this way.

These days, if you want to convince others, you have to come up with real dry goods.

He didn't say much anymore, but turned around and gestured to Edmond Dantès.

Then, the door opened, and two more people walked into the hall.

These two were his guard captain Andre Davout, and his teacher, Captain Foresty, and they were holding a box in their hands.

Although the box was heavy, the hands of the two of them were very steady, and their steps were not chaotic at all. It could be seen that they had good skills.

Under the eyes of everyone, they carried the box to the center of the hall, and then put it on the ground.

Then, the two of them looked at the young man next to him, waiting for his instructions.

Like them, all the people present also focused their attention on the young man for a moment.

As if it was the climax of a drama, Aigron nodded gently.

After the two people got the order, they immediately put their hands on the lid of the box, and then grabbed the ring and opened it upwards heavily.

In an instant, the brilliance of the jewels covered the original candlelight in the room, making the hall seem a little brighter.

"Wow!" Accompanied by the pearly light, everyone could hardly restrain their amazement.

The primal instinct for gems,

It almost made them forget to think for a moment.

"How? Now you say, is there any reason for my words?!" Aigron asked them loudly.

Now there is no need for Edmond Dantès to translate, everyone can guess what he means.

Indeed, what is more justified in the world than gold, silver and jewels?

Having money is the greatest confidence.

Only then did everyone understand that the young man in front of him not only had a famous surname, but also held a huge amount of wealth in his hands.

And that's what Eggron wanted them to know.

At this time, the most important thing for Aigron is not to hide himself, but to establish his reputation as soon as possible so that everyone knows himself.

Therefore, there is no need to hide now, it is time to let the world know that you have a huge treasure in your hands.

Guarded by André Davout and Captain Foresty, he believed that the treasure was safe enough—at least they would all use their lives to fulfill their obligations.

Of course, he also had to weave a convincing source for the treasure, but that didn't bother him.

"To tell you the truth, before the fall of the empire, in order to plan for my future livelihood, my father once entrusted to his last supporters, brought a large number of jewels from his collection, and hid them anonymously. These supporters for our family Suffered great disasters, but their hopes were not disappointed. I left Vienna and found them, and they fulfilled their mission with tears. God gave me riches, and of course I will use them in the last In a just cause! That's why I'm here, for the freedom of this land!"

Edmond Dantès translated the young man's words sentence by sentence.

Among the people present, only he knew that what the other party said was not true, but he also firmly believed that the treasure was found by the supporters of the Bonaparte family—otherwise, how could His Majesty find it?

It's just that until now, he still doesn't know who the person who found the treasure is, presumably His Majesty can't reveal it in order to keep the secret...

It has been so long, and Edmond Dantès has already let go of his unwillingness and regret. For him, if the treasure falls into the hands of His Majesty, he can make the best use of it, and as long as he is loyal and devoted to his life, His Majesty will not treat him badly.

"Sir..." Panos Kolokotronis finally reacted, and then he looked at the young man, "Is this the wealth you brought to support us?"

"If you think so, you're not wrong." Egron replied with a smile, "It's just that the way I support you is not by donating money, but by using my wealth as funds to arm myself and ultimately help you win your independence."

Before Panos could react, he looked at the people present again, "Did you see that? Everyone! I bring not only justice, but also a lot of wealth. No matter who you are, as long as you want to Help me and make my own contribution to the cause of the Greek nation, then I will definitely give due rewards! God testifies, I will never disappoint anyone who has helped me!"

After his words were translated, it immediately caused commotion in the arena.

At least, he has proved his strength, enough to buy anyone present.

Of course, he will never go the same way as Byron.

Byron came to Greece with money, but he was treated as a fool. People from all walks of life were deceiving him and trying to get money from him. Byron's assets were quickly exhausted; Far more than Byron, but it is also impossible to fill this bottomless pit.

Therefore, from the very beginning, he had to let people know that it was okay to get money from him, but he would definitely have to pay some price.

He turned his head and looked at Edmond Dantès again, winking.

Edmund Dantès understood and quietly walked out of the lobby.

Soon, he came back again, and this time, someone followed quietly behind him.

"Isaac Valleolo!" His name was called out immediately.

This well-known bandit leader was wearing a white dress, a pleated Faustanella skirt, and a small red cap on his head, as if he were a soldier of the Independence Army.

Led by the Count of Monte Cristo, he walked up to Aigron, took off his hat reverently, and then knelt down at his feet reverently.

This man used to be an officer under Ioannina Pasha's command, and later became a bandit leader. He was taken in by Edmund Dantès before him. After getting along with him for this period of time, he has decided to surrender to Napoleon. Under the command of His Majesty II.

Today, Aigron just uses him as a promotional material to let everyone see what a generous and humble leader he is.

"Subscriber, please report your name." Edmond Dantès stood aside and asked the other party seriously.

"Isaac Valleolo." The bandit kneeling on the ground replied in a pious and solemn tone.

"Why did you come?" Edmond Dantès asked again.

"I once wandered around, had to become a bandit to make a living, and even drew swords against my compatriots. I felt deeply guilty about this, and I prayed countless times to God to give me a chance of salvation..." Isaac Balleo Slightly followed the lines that had been given to him in advance, and answered fluently, "Now, God has given this opportunity. I firmly believe that this is the best chance for me to redeem my sins, and it is also the best chance for me to fight for my compatriots! So I volunteer to join the Knights of Fontainebleau, and I pray that the leader will give me a chance and open the door for me, and I will use my life to fulfill my oath!"

Aigron didn't quite understand the other party's words, but it didn't matter, he naturally knew what the other party would say.

This guy seems very sensible...well, worth cultivating.

He winked at Edmond Dantès covertly, and praised him for his ability to do things well, and Edmond Dantès nodded slightly, indicating that this is what he should do.

"I'm very glad that there are such passionate martyrs in this great land. Your love for the nation and yearning for freedom are worthy of my admiration. I agree to your request." He replied solemnly.

Then he said what he wanted to say to everyone.

"In my eyes, there are no French and Greeks, only loyal warriors and cowards! As long as you dare to sacrifice, dare to charge forward, that is the warrior I admire! Therefore, I accept you, Isaac Baller Olo, I admit that you are a member of my knight order and enjoy the same treatment as others. I promise you that as long as you come to my command, I will not discriminate, but treat you equally. However, the prerequisite for all of this is that you must become a warrior, and you must accept my command and serve me unconditionally... Can you do it?"

After Egron finished speaking, he looked at the other party seriously, waiting for Edmond Dantès to translate to the other party kneeling on the ground.

Of course, even if he didn't translate, Isaac Valleolo would know what the boy in front of him would say.

But the script must go through the process, even if everyone knows it is acting, they must continue to act the scene with a serious face.

In the political circles of various countries, how many similar dramas are staged every day of the year?

Power and money lend gravitas to even the most artificial performance.

"I am so honored!" Isaac Paleolio replied loudly without any hesitation, "Please bestow this honor! My lord!"

Aegron didn't say a word, but took out a saber from the guard next to him, put it on his shoulder, and recruited the first Greek member of his knight order in this way.

Of course he knew that Isaac Valleolo was a bandit leader before. Although he was not the kind of gangster who did all kinds of evil, his subordinates still had a lot of blood debts, but who cares about this now?

He is not the only person in this world who has transformed from a murderer to a public servant.

Human fate is so unpredictable.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Egron completed his brief knighthood ceremony.

Then, he immediately walked up to the opened box, stretched out his hand and gently copied it from inside, took out a small piece of gemstone, and put it in the opponent's hand.

"As a reward for your loyalty, I give you this gift. I hope that you will always maintain the courage and sense of justice in your heart, and fight for my cause and the cause of your nation! May God bless us."

"May God bless!" Isaac Paleolio, who was kneeling on the ground, took the gem with both hands, bowed reverently to the young man, and then respectfully got up from the ground.

After this scene ended, the silence in the hall was broken again, as if time had finally begun to flow.

The people in the hall started whispering again, but this time, there was a little more greed and eagerness in their sights.

Aigron's performance let them know that this young man had a lot of money in his hands and was willing to spend it generously-but his conditions were also simple and clear, that is, he must join his army and swear allegiance to him.

Is this a good deal? Everyone has different plans and measures in their hearts, but it is obvious that his performance in this scene has at least left a deep impression on everyone.

Panos Kolokotronis was taken aback by the sudden attack, and managed to regain his composure.

"You never told me you were going to do it tonight." He stepped up to Aigron's side, and complained cautiously to him.

"Why, don't I have the right to recruit people in Greece?" Aigron asked calmly. "Did I come here just to hand over the money to you, and then watch silently?"

This question left Panos speechless for a moment.

"Undoubtedly, of course you have the right..." After a while, he could only answer in this way, "But I think that the wealth you have exposed may disturb people's hearts and have a bad influence. If everyone only How do we defend ourselves against our enemies if we don’t think about doing our duty, money, instead of doing our duty?”

He said that partly because of his worries.

Their father and son definitely don't have as much money as this young man now. If the young man in front of him really throws money around to buy people, how many people will obey their father and son's orders?

Aigron also knows that he has touched the other party's basic interests in a sense.

Today is still the first day back on the mainland, he doesn't intend and doesn't need to break the relationship with his allies so soon.

For him, being famous today is enough.

"Don't worry, my money is hard-won, and I won't throw money at random when I see someone... I will recruit the people I need very carefully, and it will never affect the authority of you father and son. , I can guarantee this." Aigron looked at the other party sincerely, "I don't want my Knights to become the Greek Legion, because for me, my destination will never be here, but in another place."

His assurance finally reassured Panos a little.

"Then I wish you an early realization of your great cause of recovery." That was all he could answer.
