Chapter 505 Duke's Prospect

With Count Ural captured and the Knights of the Flame Seal all killed by Ronin, the Battle of the Mist City ended with the victory of the noble coalition of Alduin.

The remaining things were to blockade the city, occupy Count Ural's castle, and control the remaining guards and resistance forces in the city.

These things could be handled by the various knights. Ronin and others only needed to pay attention to them and did not need to participate in person.

They were more concerned about Broll's arrival.

In fact, Broll was also very shocked.

He set off in the second half of the night after receiving the letter from His Majesty the King.

Although the night flight was a bit slow, he still arrived at Red Pine Castle in the afternoon. What shocked him was that the noble coalition had already begun to attack the Mist City.

And when he just flew to the Mist City, the battle was over, and the winner was still the Alduin Kingdom.

It seems that it is not difficult to capture the Mist City?

"Marquis Ronin, this is the letter from His Majesty."

Broll handed Bruno's letter to Ronin, "His Majesty also brought congratulations on everyone's victory across the board. I didn't expect that you have even taken down the Mist City."

Everyone laughed. Indeed, the progress of this war was a bit fast.

Ronin tore open the letter and read it in front of everyone. He was curious why a letter was sent to him alone instead of to Garet.

After he finished reading, he couldn't help but look at Garet. It turned out that there were so many twists and turns.

Garet seemed to feel Ronin's gaze. The two looked at each other, and Ronin saw evasion in each other's eyes.

He smiled slightly and said, "His Majesty expected that we would take down the Mist City, so after we captured the Mist City, we should not continue to march to the Kingdom of Tricia, but to station in the Mist City first to prevent the other side from counterattacking."

Everyone nodded.

"Heiyuwan can no longer continue the attack. We have to transport the remains of the Viscount back to the territory."

The speaker was Edmund, Willis' son-in-law and the leader of the Heiyuwan Knights.

In addition to the death of Viscount Willis of Heiyuwan in this battle, Nicola, the Meteor-level deputy leader of the Knights, also died in the battle to protect Willis.

Two Meteor Knights died at once, and Heiyuwan suffered a huge loss.

"Viscount Willis sacrificed for the country. Please tell us the date of the funeral. We should go to pay our respects." Roning said.

Edmund nodded solemnly, "I will convey your intention to William."

After that, he took his men and horses to transport the remains of Willis, Nicola and others back.

However, the Knights of Heiyuwan did not completely evacuate.

As the victorious party, they had to leave people to share the fruits of victory.

It's a pity that the main family is not there. Although Edmund is Willis's son-in-law and the leader of the Knights, he cannot represent the Heiyu family.

He could only rush back to the territory as soon as possible and ask Willis's son William or other members of the Black Jade family to come.

"We also need to reorganize."

Count Iben said in a deep voice, "Ural's counterattack was too sudden, and each of our families suffered great losses. His Majesty is right to ask us not to continue to advance."

If anyone suffered less losses in this battle, it was only the noble army responsible for attacking the east and west gates.

At this time, a knight came to Gushan and whispered a few words.

Then Gushan looked at Ronin: "Ronin, my knight is bleeding badly, but he should still be saved. I need the help of your magician Mr. Elron!"

Ronin nodded, "Just go to Elron, he is very keen to save lives."

After the victory of the war, Elron basically saved people spontaneously. Ronin never objected to this approach of increasing the impression of the nobles and increasing Elron's own influence.

After a brief communication, Broll brought Ronin to Garrett.

"Your Highness!"

Broll bowed slightly, "His Majesty asked you to return to the Golden Feather Palace immediately. He has something to see you."

Broll naturally knew the hidden truth.

But for the sake of maintaining the face of the royal family and Garrett himself, he did not say it clearly.

"You want me to go back? What about the affairs on the front line?"

Garrett's face was not very good. He also wanted Elrond to help him treat it, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Broll replied: "The command of the front line is temporarily handed over to Count Gushan and Marquis Ronin. His Majesty has already explained it in the previous letter."

"The Misty City was breached under my command. I washed away the shame of the Alduin family for decades. Now that we have just won, my father wants to withdraw my command!"

Garrett said stubbornly: "Go back and tell my father that I don't agree!"

He knew that once he went back, it would be difficult for him to go to the battlefield again.

And in the next battle against the Kingdom of Tricia, it is estimated that he will have no chance to command Ronin again.

"This..."

Broll knew Garrett's temper, and he was no match for him. If he had to force it...

He could only ask Ronin for help.

Ronin didn't waste any words and handed Bruno's letter to Garrett.

"His Majesty also gave me an order. If you don't cooperate, I will let Carlos send you back."

Garett looked at the words on the letter, and his anger surged. It turned out that in Bruno's heart, he had unknowingly become an "immature and stable" child?

And he was really upset by Ronin's weak tone.

Huh~

A shadow passed by, and Garet couldn't help but look up. The figure of the dragon made him uneasy.

Garet took a deep look, and then snorted, "Matt, help me go back to Red Pine Castle first, and then go back to Golden Feather City."

In the end, he chose to compromise.

He was not worried that Ronin would really let the dragon deal with him, but he was worried that if he didn't compromise, Ronin would tell others that he replaced Gushan as the commander.

Ronin took Bruno's letter back, "Your Highness, go back and recuperate. Leave the attack on the Kingdom of Tricia to us."

Garet was silent and left quickly with the help of his knights.

Ronin put the letter away.

Due to Bruno's request, although Ronin did not tell Gushan and other nobles about Garet's seizure of command, he could keep the letter.

The noble coalition left a part to clean up the battlefield, and the rest took over the Misty Castle.

More than 30 years ago, there was a rumor that whoever occupied the Misty City would be the legitimate heir of the Orlant Empire.

It is not that this city was once the capital of the empire, but that it was gradually given this meaning during the battle between the two countries.

Of course, as the defeated party in the past, the Kingdom of Alduin would naturally not mention this statement.

As the castle was taken, the nobles held a simple dinner, eating and drinking while talking about the achievements of each family.

Basically, it was about how many enemies were killed, how many meteor knights, how many golden knights, how many people were captured, etc.

Among them, Ronin's record was the most dazzling.

Single person, plus a dragon, killed the long-famous General Aruba of the Tricia Kingdom and became a Sun Knight. In addition, there were two Silver Moon Knights, five meteors, several Golden Knights, etc.

In addition, Rydar also killed a Sun Knight and three Silver Moon Knights, which should also be counted on Ronin.

In other words, in one battle, Ronin killed two enemy Sun Knights, five Silver Moon Knights, and several Meteor and Gold Knights.

Other nobles may have exaggerated their achievements, but Ronin's achievements were real and everyone saw them.

This achievement was so important that they dared not question it.

"Ronin, I guess I have to congratulate you in advance!" Broll suddenly laughed.

"Why?" Ronin asked with a smile.

Broll said, "At the last ceremony, His Majesty wanted to confer you the title of Duke, but because of your lack of military merit, he was finally conferred the title of Marquis."

He paused and looked around at the nobles, and everyone understood.

Ibn smiled and said, "In this battle of Misty City, Ronin, Redar and the dragon played a very important role. Such a record is enough to make up for the previous gap. This time, no one should have any objections, right?"

"It's time to congratulate!"

The nobles and knights stood up one after another, whether they were sincere or echoing, and congratulated one after another.

Roning couldn't refuse, so he picked up the wine glass and started drinking with everyone.

He hasn't even warmed up to the position of Marquis yet, and he's going to become a Duke?

Roning will fight with Bruno, but whether he will be made a Duke in the end depends on Bruno's opinion.

After all, the last time the title was conferred, although the objections of others played a big role, the key still lies in Bruno's will. (End of this chapter)
