Chapter 148
Second, how should we deal with Centaurea?
Commendation? Recognition? Being featured in the newspaper as a moral exemplar?
But in the end, it all boils down to just two words:
Offer amnesty.
Yes, regardless of whether you are a bandit leader or a chivalrous knight-errant, the best outcome is to be granted amnesty.
Now that the Supervision Committee has finally had the opportunity to consolidate its power, they really don't dare to let such a powerful figure, who is both capable and resentful, linger around them.
It's not that they have a limited perspective, but rather that the saying "Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?" simply doesn't apply in Terra.
Like Wei Yenwu of Lungmen and Mane of the Lumen Family, they were both wandering knights in their youth.
And what is a wandering knight?
If they feel that your country is full of grievances and the people are suffering, then they will stand up for you and take action, using their own power to destroy the regime of a country. This is indeed a common occurrence.
So it's not that their vision is limited, but rather that there are real lessons to be learned from the past.
So when Centaurea first appeared tonight, the Supervision Committee was already secretly watching her.
Everything was fine at first, until Zofia threw that shot.
That shot could not only pierce through a person, it could almost pierce through a building, and it could also fire in rapid succession.
The Supervision Committee SFC) couldn't sit still any longer and immediately sent people to control the scene.
So--
With a soft "plop".
With another swift movement, Centaurea stabbed through the neck of an Unarmored Alliance.
After gently shaking off the bloodstains from the knife, Centaurea did not rush to execute the next person.
Instead, she turned her head and looked behind her.
Knock knock knock.
Accompanied by the sound of synchronized footsteps, dozens of imposing knights, clad in silver armor, wearing cloaks, and carrying shields and spears, entered the scene in two columns.
With the power of thunder, they dispersed the bystanders, suppressed the remaining members of the Unarmored Alliance, and then lined up beside Centaurea.
"Silver Spear Pegasus?"
Centaurea blinked and quickly recognized whose army it was. "A top-tier Campaign Knight order belonging to the Grand Knight Council... This is the first time I've seen the real thing, truly impressive..."
I don't know what Centaurea was thinking.
But a blonde woman who looked older but still had a charming appearance stepped out from behind the Silver Spear Pegasus: "The fact that they have caught your eye proves that they have been training hard and diligently. Are you curious about them?"
"After all, when I graduated from school, I even thought about whether I should join the army."
Centaurea turned to look at the old woman and said, "Iolayeta Rosso... I didn't expect I could even see the Grand Knight Commander..."
Then Centaurea counted the number of these Silver Spear Pegasus, looked around, and said, "So, with such a grand display, are they here to arrest me?"
"You flatter me."
Despite being the head of state, Iolayeta Rosso smiled gently, like a kind old grandmother, and said softly, "I'm so sorry that I'm only seeing you now. To express my apologies, Ms. Centaurea, would you be so kind as to have a chat and afternoon tea with me?"
"Oh... have I become so famous that even the Grand Knight Commander can personally receive me?"
Centaurea expressed her amazement in a flat tone, but then sighed, "But it seems too much trouble, so can I refuse?"
