Lord Of The Oasis Chapter 401 - The Silent Hall

Chapter 401: The Silent Hall

Kant’s words caused the hall to fall into a short period of silence.

Ten strong Sarrandian Horseman were already standing silently at the side, as if nothing had anything to do with them. They had no intention of opening their mouths at all.

But the old butler revealed a stunned and disbelieving expression.

Even the grand knight named Ches.h.i.+re who was about to leave by the side stopped in his tracks. He was just stunned on the spot.

Shaking his head slightly, Ches.h.i.+re could not help but reveal a helpless smile. He turned back to look at the old butler and asked, “Hey, did I not make myself clear just now, or did I mishear him?”

“Uh…” the old butler opened his mouth and said with some fear, “Mr. Ches.h.i.+re, of course you made it very clear.”

“That’s good.”

Ches.h.i.+re turned around.

A bone-chilling chill immediately spread throughout the hall. “Little guy, I told you to get out of here, so you have to get out. This is not my request, but an order!”

The visible frost began to spread under his feet.

It was like a spider web.

Layers of white frost even made the surrounding air feel cold.

The old butler was old and obviously could not withstand this chill. He took a few steps back quickly. His eyes were filled with panic and awe, but he did not dare to say anything because he saw the anger in Ches.h.i.+re’s eyes.

The dignity of a grand knight was not to be provoked, and no one dared to provoke him.

He was the trump card of Borg Chamber of Commerce.

Borg spent a huge sum of money in the Silver Platter Kingdom to invite a grand knight back.

Not to mention this humble butler, even Borg himself did not dare to offend Ches.h.i.+re. After all, as a grand knight who could be considered as a top-tier battle force in the Silver Platter Kingdom, it was almost an honor to invite him to come to Borg Chamber of Commerce.

It was precisely because of this that the Borg Chamber of Commerce had not been liquidated after acc.u.mulating a large amount of wealth.

This had something to do with Borg clinging onto the thighs of several n.o.ble families in the East County.

But at the same time, it also had a lot to do with the fact that Borg Chamber of Commerce had Grand Knight Ches.h.i.+re permanently stationed as a foundation.

An ordinary n.o.ble family did not even have a grand knight. This was a symbol of power. For the current Borg Chamber of Commerce to have such a grand knight, they could basically do whatever they wanted in the port of the East County City.

Borg Chamber of Commerce was basically the number one chamber of Commerce in the port of the East County City!

“Oh.” Kant seemed to have not noticed the chill in the air.

He glanced at the Lion Knight who had put his hand on the hilt of his sword and had an unfriendly look on his face. Kant shook his head slightly to indicate that he should calm down. Instead, he stood up and twisted his neck. “My question is, why hasn’t Borg come down to see me yet?”

“You… you…” the old butler was completely stunned by Kant.

“Good, good, good.” Ches.h.i.+re revealed a sinister smile. “You dare to go against me.”

Kant’s words simply ignored him.

The calm expression on his face, as if he did not notice the cold, was even more humiliating to Ches.h.i.+re. How could he, a respected grand knight, endure such humiliation.

“Also.” Kant frowned slightly. “Let Borg come and see me.”

“Bang!”

The frost under Ches.h.i.+re’s feet instantly exploded.

He was already filled with anger. He approached Kant step by step. The white frost in his originally empty hand instantly condensed into the shape of a glove, directly grabbing onto Kant’s head. “I want to let you know what bone-piercing cold is!”

However, his footsteps stopped slightly.

Because someone stood up.

It was a guard wearing a linen robe next to him.

However, his body was suffused with a red glow. He held Ches.h.i.+re’s wrist so that even if his hand had condensed frost. He held so tight that Ches.h.i.+re was not be able to move his hand further

The Lion Knight had great strength. He was even more familiar with the application of extraordinary strength. He was an even stronger grand knight!

“You actually…” shock appeared in Ches.h.i.+re’s eyes.

Even the old butler stared blankly at the guard who he had originally looked down on. The guard used his glowing hand that was glowing red to hold onto grand knight Ches.h.i.+re’s hand of ice. Ches.h.i.+re could not move at all, as if he were imprisoned.

“Ignorant!”

However, another guard stood up beside him.

He also looked like a commoner who was wearing a linen robe. However, the red glow in his hand spread along with the knight sword that was half drawn out. A dangerous aura appeared along with the berating voice, “Step back!”

“Pu –”

Ches.h.i.+re quickly took a few steps back.

The frost in his hand dissipated, but there were still red marks of fingers on his wrist.

He looked at the two Lion Knights and exclaimed, “You… you are both top-notch grand knights… how is this possible!”

That’s right, these lion knights were top-notch grand knights.

If they crossed that line, they would be even stronger.

The extraordinary knights!

It was not the same as the grand knights who possessed extraordinary powers. Extraordinary knight was a powerful knight who was said to be comparable to top-notch mages who could skillfully use spells and even control the elemental powers of the world. He could completely destroy an elite army of knights by himself.

He was also the peak of knight-level and the strongest!

“You… you… you…”

At this moment, even Ches.h.i.+re could not say anything vicious.

He had just entered the realm of grand knight. In terms of control over extraordinary power, he was not a match for the two Lion Knights. If they really started a battle, he might be killed by the two of them in a short while.

After mastering extraordinary power with great destructive power, a grand knight’s battle would be much more on attacking with his power!

If he were slightly careless and revealed a small flaw, it would be death to him!

A grand knight was just like that. He had grasped an astonis.h.i.+ng destructive power, but he did not have a corresponding defense.

And a simple armor would not be able to defend against an extraordinary power. Even the best chain armor could defend against the chop of a longsword, but it could not defend against the damage of the extraordinary power attached to the longsword.

It was an additional damage that could not be effectively blocked by physical means!

At this moment.

Kant smiled. “I request that Borg come to see me as soon as possible.”

He paused slightly and looked at the old butler with a mockingly smile, “Perhaps he did not tell you how he saved the family’s trade caravan that was on the verge of bankruptcy.”

“No… No…”

The old butler only felt his legs trembling.

He could not imagine that Kant, who was originally a small n.o.ble, would suddenly become a terrifying enemy that could destroy the Borg Chamber of Commerce. Especially those two grand knights disguised as ordinary guards, which made his heart tremble.

The old butler gulped, he realized that he could no longer stay here. He hurriedly bowed and said, “I’ll go now.”

“Very good.” Kant smiled and waved his hand. “Go quickly.”

“Yes, yes.” the old Butler immediately turned around and left the hall, almost running away in a panic.

But Ches.h.i.+re did not dare to move.

His breathing was heavy.

Looking at the other eight guards who were still sitting on the chairs in front of him, his eyes showed fear. He trembled slightly and wanted to say something, but in the end, he gulped dejectedly and stood on the spot in silence.

The ten Sarrandian Hors.e.m.e.n beside them also remained expressionless and silent.

But their mentality was completely different.

Just like usual, there was no change at all!

They were Kant’s cavalries and were only served under Borg.

Although they had their own thoughts and received Borg’s almost extravagant treatment, in reality, they were always loyal to Kant and would not really choose to submit to outsiders because of any threats or inducements.

This was the most persistent loyalty in the depths of their souls, a faith that was even more loyal than the most fanatical religious believers!

“Sit down.” Kant waved at the riders. “It’s quite tiring to stand.”

“Yes, sir.” the Sarrandian Hors.e.m.e.n nodded.

As usual, without the slightest hesitation, they went to the chairs by the wall and sat down.

As for the maids who had already hidden in the corner, they watched all of this in panic. In their small worldview, what was happening now was like a dream.

The Grand Knight Ches.h.i.+re, who was originally arrogant, stood still like a quail and did not dare to move.

The stubborn old butler fled the hall in fear like a defeated soldier.

The 10 knights who were previously indifferent chose to submit.

In the most luxurious hall of the Borg Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Kant, who was an outsider, was actually acted like the master, casually giving orders without the slightest hesitant of being an outsider.

In fact, with Kant’s previous funding, he could indeed be considered the master of this place.

He was the source of the rise of the Borg Chamber of Commerce.

And he relied on it even more.

In the past, the Borg Chamber of Commerce had obtained quite a lot of quotas in the table salt trade.

However, this Mr. Borg actually felt that he had a full set of wings and wanted to completely fly solo without his control. This was something Kant could not tolerate.

No, it would never be tolerated.

To him, this hidden chess piece could easily be set up again.

It was just that he wanted to betray Kant and still enjoy wealth and glory. Yet, he didn’t think it was wrong and deserve all the wealth he got.

That would not do.

Kant needed Borg to remember who was the one who was the boss.

Once in the Nahrin Desert, he could pull Borg up from the brink of bankruptcy. Then in the East County, he could similarly be pushed back him back into bankruptcy from the peak of prosperity!

This was Kant’s ability. He had absolute power and could easily achieve this.

He was only dealing with a merchant.

It was not a war to destroy a country.

Even if those n.o.ble families knew, they would choose to compromise and would not use this as a pretext to make a move.

After the battle with Viscount Gibran, the entire Dukedom of Leo fell into a strange silence. Even those n.o.ble families who were originally eyeing Kant with covetous eyes calmed down and carefully measured the true strength of this Duke’s second son.

After all, there were more than 10 grand knights with Kant

They were confirmed that night, this might be the strength of a top-tier n.o.ble.

The kind that they could not mess with.

Moreover, the base built by Kant in Nahrin Desert definitely had grand knights in charge of guarding his territory.

When both sides combined, Baron Kant could have 20 mighty grand knights. Even a top-tier n.o.ble did not have such power. Perhaps only the inheritance of the royal family could compare to it.

Rashly opposing Kant was not a wise choice. These n.o.ble families knew very well.

And here, Borg also understood that he seemed to have made a mistake.
