Lord of the North

　　 It's dawn, and the eastern front is full of smoke and dust. The soldiers of the lion duchy condensed the corpses of their comrades here, and dug a few large pits in the distance to bury these corpses to avoid the occurrence of the plague.

　　 Looking around, the entire battlefield was full of blood and corpses. A group of prisoners were escorted by the soldiers to the rear with shackles. They would become slaves, or be sold to the slave market, or be exhausted by the distribution mine.

　　The soldiers of the victorious Lion Principality were not excited or happy, and their faces were full of numbness and grief.

　　 Maybe the people who talked with them happily before can no longer speak anymore. In this war, there are not many families broken.

　　 "Has our casualties been counted?" In the lion principality camp far away from the battlefield, Grand Duke Cameron asked after taking a shower and sitting on the upper position.

　　He has a serious expression, his armor has been taken off, his beard and hair have been meticulously taken care of, and he has changed into a gorgeous robe that he usually wears.

　　 The outcome of this battle is about whether he can continue the offensive with the army. In addition, the fallen Lopez nobleman has the confidence to break through the easternmost city of Lopez—Garden.

"Grand Duke, the number of dead and wounded soldiers we brought out this time reached more than 7,000, and the number of dead and injured Lopez noble troops reached more than 10,000. The specific number is limited and has not been counted yet." The next one wore armor. Of people bow their heads and report.

　　 "How many people are left in our army?"

　　 "In addition to the newly joined army, we still have more than 40,000 soldiers." This time, nearly 30,000 soldiers from the nobles of the Lopez Kingdom turned their backs and gave Earl David a heavy blow.

　　 "We captured more than 14,000 enemy troops and killed nearly 20,000 on the battlefield. The rest fled to Garden City."

　　 "Garden City has eight thousand royal garrisons directly under them. These people are elites who have experienced several brutal wars. Our soldiers will suffer a big loss if they meet them." Duke Cameron said worriedly.

　　 Once he also fought with King Lopez, he naturally knew the details of these troops.

　　 "But we have forty thousand troops!" his subordinates said confidently.

　　The biggest enemy of the three counties in the east has been resolved. They completely disintegrated this noble group army. Only the remaining troops stationed in the three counties are scattered in the east and it is difficult to resist their footsteps.

　　 The three eastern counties of Lopez are already at your fingertips.

　　 "But we must take all the eastern towns with minimal casualties."

　　 "Otherwise, we will be unable to resist Lopez's counterattack." Grand Duke Cameron looked in the direction of Lopez City.

　　 He did not understand why Asa Lake faced Phil Lopez.

　　 His strength is not lost at all to this group of new aristocratic interest groups.

　　 Although I don’t know what this military wizard thinks, Grand Duke Cameron still holds a defensive heart towards him. As mentioned before, in the entire Lopez Kingdom, he only fears two people.

　　 King Lopez, who had recurred old injuries and was seriously injured, and the gentle war falcon Asa Lake.

　　 "Order to speed up the cleaning of the battlefield, we will send troops to Gardon City tomorrow morning!"

After giving the order, Grand Duke Cameron sat there frowning. The siege is bound to cause huge losses. The catapult may destroy the walls of some small towns, but it has little effect on the walls of Garden City. , Can only play a role in suppressing the enemy's garrison on the city wall.

　　 So he needs to think of a better way to break the city.

　　 "Are you ready?"

"Ready."

　　 "Relax, don't be nervous."

　　 "Then I am coming!"

"bring it on!"

　　 In the castle garden, the snow here has been swept out of a circular open space, and Jason and Willett stand in it wearing warrior uniforms and holding practice swords.

　　Lonat and the old butler stood by and watched the battle. Once they found any danger, they would not hesitate to stop them.

　　 After Willett said yes, her smiling eyes immediately became calm and solemn. Although she doesn't fight often, she never despises her opponent.

　　 squeezed the black wood sword in his hand and moved slowly, looking for Jason's flaws.

　　 Jason stood there, turning his body along with Willett's movements, and he planned to respond to changes without knowing his opponent.

　　 "Why don't you take action?" Willett realized that Jason's defense was very tight, and he couldn't find a breakthrough in a short time, so he planned to harass him.

　　 "Ladies first." Jason said with a faint smile, not fooled.

　　 "Huh." Willett wrinkled her nose, delicate and cute.

　　 "Master Marquis has a solid foundation in swordsmanship." The old butler who was watching the battle exclaimed.

　　 How many young people today will practice this simple basic swordsmanship in a down-to-earth manner? Most of them spend a lot of money to buy some famous swordsmanship, which in his eyes is very high.

　　 "Adults are talented, even basic swordsmanship can worship those so-called gods." Ronald said with a blank expression, staring at the court, and said flatly.

　　You are really welcome...

　　 The old butler's eyes twitched. Although he admits that his family's talents are extraordinary, he still has some gaps with those true gods. After all, he can't awaken his extraordinary powers.

"Guess it's the marquis-sama's extraordinary strength, or is my lady better?" The old butler said with a smile. He grew up watching Willett, emotionally like his granddaughter. He doesn't want to be compared. .

"My lord will definitely win." Ronald showed his enthusiasm, and he thought about it a little bit. Both of them have their own merits. Although Jason has a short practice time, Lancelot's devil training before is not a vain name, Villey. Especially a young lady, she hasn't eaten much suffering, but she has extraordinary power.

　　 Although it seems that Jason is at a disadvantage in this battle, Ronald still has no doubt about his choice to believe in Jason's abilities.

　　 Blindly loyal, the old butler sighed in his heart that this kind of stupid and loyal subordinates is what every superior person wants ~www.readwn.com~ not to mention the powerful and powerful subordinates like Ronnett.

When the two were talking, the two played against each other several times in the field. They were all tentative offenses launched by Willett. She was calm and did not feel impetuous because of Jason's tight defense. Every offense was Retreat immediately after a miss.

　　 She would not launch an all-out attack without a chance to expand the results.

　　 She has light blue energy wrapped in her hands. According to the previous agreement, she only increased her physical strength, but did not increase the lethality.

　　 "It's not the style of a big man to defend but not attack." Willett laughed and teased.

　　 She didn't believe it anymore, he could bear this kind of provocation.

　　 As expected, Jason raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and pressed down the long sword slightly, ready to attack.

　　 Jason would never be fooled by the enemy saying this, but being ridiculed by a woman would be unbearable, mainly because this woman was put on the Marquise candidate list by him.

　　 But at this moment...

　　 "The side mission is released, let's teach the woman in front of you severely!"

　　 Side Quest: Defeat Willett Kyle

　　 Mission period: two hours

　　 Mission rewards: a set of full body armor for the noble knight (level depends on the degree of completion of the task), a set of noble ladies' dresses (level depends on the degree of completion of the task)

　　Character introduction: As a man, being so provoked by a woman is simply unbearable! Go boy, it's time to show your strength!

　　 Jason's expression was stunned when he heard the words.

　　 The eyes of Willett on the opposite side lit up, and the opportunity came!
