Fantasy journey to the heavens

Chapter 85 Follow-up
A great knight is a great knight after all.

Regardless of the opponent, as long as Katim's strength remains, he is already invincible.

In fact, he doesn't even need to fight. As long as he reveals the news that he is a great knight, the battle will naturally not start.

That group of people dared to punch Katim, who was a knight, but they didn't have the courage to face a great knight.

But Katim did not do this. Instead, he secretly blocked the news and refused to come forward no matter how provocative the other party was, so as to make the other party take it lightly and ignore Katim's power.

Then it broke out at a critical moment and gave the opponent a hard blow.

Earl Thorn couldn't help but read the battle report.

He looked very seriously.

In this battle, many of the knight lords who had resisted him were defeated, and most of them were killed in one fell swoop.

Otherwise, according to what the people sent by Katim said, Katim did not do anything to these lords, but instead sent them all to Earl Thorne.

"What do you think about this?"

Earl Thorne sent the battle report to Daru, signaling him to express his opinion.

"Isn't that a good thing?"

Daru was a little confused: "Enri, Sim and other families have always been opponents of my father. Now that they are sent here by Lord Katim, doesn't it save us a lot of effort?"

"If you look at it on the face of it, that's true."

Earl Thorne smiled bitterly: "Then let me ask you, when the members of these families are sent over, how should we deal with them?"

"of course"

Daru wanted to kill them all, but he seemed to suddenly think of something and couldn't help but froze.

"Understand."

Earl Thorne sighed: "These people are just troublesome."

For Earl Thorne, what he hopes most is that all these people die on the battlefield, so that he can directly blame Katim, or find other reasons to explain.

But Khadim is completely out of touch.

Not only did he not deliberately kill these enemies, but he deliberately protected them and sent them to Earl Thorne.

What was sent was nominally prisoners of war, but in reality it was just a lot of trouble.

Although these defeated families were defeated, they were still nobility recognized by the Kingdom of Meissen.

Earl Thorne's status is more noble than theirs, but that doesn't mean he has the power to deal with them at will.

It would be okay if they all died on the battlefield, but they didn't, and instead they were sent here.

All of a sudden, it seemed that Ruo Ruo had caused a big trouble for Earl Thorne.

I definitely wouldn’t dare to kill.

These are all nobles. If he kills them, how will other nobles in the country view him?

It is obviously impossible to let go directly.

These are all political enemies, his opponents.

If he lets go, there will probably be many more voices of opposition in the country tomorrow.

You can't kill them, but you can't let them go. If you keep them by force, you'll be suspected of detaining the nobles.

Nothing seems right.

Just thinking about that scene makes Earl Thorne feel a little dizzy.

In addition, the situation in this area at the moment also gave him a headache.

The coalition of nobles was indeed eliminated by Katim.

In theory he should be thanking Katim.

But Katim has grown up.

After this battle, he annexed the territories of many lords in one go, and his power suddenly expanded.

At this moment, we need people, we have soldiers, we have everything we need.Coupled with the great knight Katim, Katim's threat at this moment is even greater than the previous coalition of nobles.

Although the previous aristocratic coalition was massive, it was complex in composition and involved many participants. As long as it was well planned, it might not be impossible to divide it and slowly disintegrate it from within.

But now it is the Katim family that dominates.

If Katim has other thoughts, then
Earl Thorne looked at Daru in front of him, and couldn't help but shake his head at the appearance of his child.

Once Katim rebels, he doesn't think Daru can stop him.

As for their previous friendship, it was nothing in the face of interests.

The most important thing is that although the threat from the other party is already so huge, due to the current situation, Earl Thorne actually wants to thank the other party and commend the other party as much as possible.

This was something they had negotiated beforehand.

Katim helps Earl Thorne solve the trouble, and Earl Thorne solves the aftermath for Katim.

At that time, Earl Thorne did not expect this scene to appear.

At that time, he thought that Katim could only block the opponent at most, but he did not expect that such a situation would arise.

This situation now can only be said to be a headache.

How to do?
Earl Thorne was thinking, trying to find a solution.

But the more he thought about it, the more difficult he felt that the situation in front of him seemed to have no good solution at all.

This is the result of strength.

Katim's strength as a great knight is real.

As long as he has such strength, no matter what Earl Thorn does, he will only be at a disadvantage.

Unless he has enough power on hand to compete with it.

But how is this possible.

Earl Thorne frowned and thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

At this moment, an attendant came in from outside.

The envoys sent by Khadim came with prisoners of war and a letter with them.

"coming."

Earl Thorne took a deep breath and responded immediately.

He asked Daru to go out in person and welcome the envoy in. Then he received the envoy with a warm smile on his face.

After a while, Khadim's letter was delivered to him.

Earl Thorne hesitated for a moment, and then opened the letter.

In the letter, he expected there to be a lot of demands.

After all, according to the previous agreement, Katim was responsible for handling troublesome matters such as the coalition of nobles for him, while he was responsible for cleaning up the aftermath for Katim and seeking various other benefits.

Now that what Katim promised has been done, it is Count Thorne's turn to fulfill his promise.

But when he opened the envelope, he discovered that Khadim had not mentioned this matter at all in the letter.

Earl Thorne read the letter carefully and was stunned.

"Conning the knight apprentice Sembu, the half-orc Maro and others as barons"

The letter sent by Katim did not seek anything for himself, but instead sought benefits for his subordinates.

Sembu, Malo and others were canonized as barons by Katim, and the others also received corresponding rewards.

Even Marina, a girl from a humble background who has been serving Katim and was once a maid, was given a title by Katim and will now be called Lady Marina.

"This"

After reading the letter, Earl Thorn couldn't help but show a strange look on his face.

He had seen Sembu before. He was an excellent knight apprentice. He was considered excellent under Katim. But in real terms, he was not even considered an elite apprentice. How could he be canonized as a baron?
