Chapter 103 Archbishop

Derrick sat beside the fire like the owner of the place.

After the heavy rain, the ground was still wet, and the fire in the barbarian fire pit had already started. It was really comfortable to sit beside him.

"Come, sit next to me."

Derrick stretched out his hand to invite the barbarian leader to sit next to him, and then told the barbarian to do this and that without any courtesy.

After a simple treatment, the horse meat was quickly put on the fire.

Guli sat beside him a little awkwardly. In fact, Derek's behavior was a little abrupt. If it weren't for the knights around who were eyeing him, he would have been angry.

But seeing the shiny armor and Simon's bulging muscles, Guli decided to endure it.

When the knights brought bags of wine, Derek pulled out the cork, raised his head and drank a sip, and handed it to Guli: "Take a sip, warm up."

Guli took the wine bag stiffly and took a sip.

Derek took it back and drank a sip without any disgust.

"Great, a drink in this weather, I won't change it for a piece of gold."

This was agreed by the barbarian, and the knights threw bags of wine to the barbarian. The quantity was limited, so only one person could have a drink.

As the grease crackled and dripped into the fire, the barbarian completely relaxed.

This group of Rockmen really seemed to have no ill intentions, otherwise why would they do this?

Derrick really didn't say anything, just chatted about some family matters, and after eating and drinking, he patted his belly and got on the horse and left.

The barbarian Guli stood at the gate of the tribe and watched the knights go away, and he completely put down his heart.

A sneaky barbarian came up to him at this time and took out an exquisite badge from his arms.

"Chief, this is what I picked up."

Guli took it and saw that it was a round badge with a two-headed dragon emblem on the front and a line of Rockmen characters engraved on the back.

Coincidentally, this was one of the few Rock characters he knew - Augusta.

"It's the Earl." Guli felt like he had escaped death.

He had studied the name Augusta over and over again.

Why? Just to survive.

Living near the Rockman, if you don't even know the most powerful boss on the border, you will fall sooner or later.

For example, now, it comes in handy.

Although Derek has only been in the industry for two and a half years, he is quite famous.

Burning the barbarians with fire and flooding the seven armies with water.

The bodies of the nobles he hanged were all dried up.

The Jingguan with piled barbarian heads is still on display in various places on the border.

The barbarians who don't believe in evil also got to know this world again under the attack of the knights of the Augusta family.

The sharp sword and the warhorse are the business cards of the Augusta family.

After seeing this group of elite knights, Gu Li thought about this possibility, and now it has only been confirmed.

I just don't know which general of the Augusta family this nobleman is today.

Gu Li can't imagine that the honorable Count Augusta will sit with him and drink.

In fact, in the various rumors of the barbarians, even if Derek didn't have three heads and six arms, he still had a green face and fangs, anyway, he didn't look like a human.

...

Derrick started his return journey, and the heavy rain only delayed the trip for one day.

When he returned to Swan Castle, everything was the same as before, and no one knew that Derek took the opportunity to go out for a walk.

The guests who were refused to visit, at most, thought that the earl and his wife had a good relationship and refused to meet during the vacation.

After two days of rest, Derek began his busy life again.

"The legion commander finally came?"

"He arrived a month ago, with more than a hundred riders."

Derrick smiled. Being able to take more than a hundred riders to take office, the other party's financial resources were at least not bad.

"How has Governor Ronald been doing recently?"

"It's a bit difficult. Our people asked him to get back half of the food and wages, but he still recruited two thousand new soldiers, and the training was pretty good."

Ronald is indeed a man of both civil and military talents. Not only did he handle civil affairs well, but he also raised a new army under such circumstances. Although it was not very useful, at least he could guarantee a certain right to speak.

In a border city, if there is no military power in hand, it is the same whether the governor is in office or not.

Derek only paid a little attention to the tentacles from the king.

Although the Augusta family caused a lot of trouble to Ronald, the two sides have never broken off contact in private.

At least 500 of the other side's 2,000 recruits were sponsored by the Augusta family.

Reality is sometimes so magical.

However, Derek was not prepared to force Ronald to make a choice. The current Governor of St. Peter is not yet at the peak of his value.

In at most one year, the promise of His Majesty the King will expire, and the Saint Maitreya Province will also welcome the first Megaman Governor.

And Ronald, who has done a good job, is the first choice.

Now... let the bullets fly for a while.

"What is the reaction of the Holy Cross Kingdom?"

If there is no accident, the Holy Cross Kingdom will definitely make a wave of things during the autumn harvest. This time, if it is unable to take back the land, it will also harass the Megaman and cannot let them live too easily.

But if there is no accident, there will be an accident.

The squad led by the elite knights from the Augusta family brought a very strong psychological shadow to the border cities and nobles of the Holy Cross Kingdom.

The mobile and flexible squad, if there are too many people, people will run away, and if there are too few people, it is uncertain who will fight whom.

After exhausting manpower and material resources, they finally caught the tail of a few, but they could not solve this big problem at all.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the chief commander of the bandit suppression is Earl Connor.

He still remembers the agreement with Derek.

If the nobles of the Holy Cross Kingdom knew that the traitor was the supreme commander, they would probably collapse directly.

But now, they don’t have the energy to continue to cause trouble for Rockman, and they should pray that Rockman doesn’t cause trouble.

So, this year should unexpectedly usher in a peaceful New Year.

At this time, the servant suddenly reported: "Archbishop John wants to see you."

"Huh?"

Derrick put down his pen. As a fanatical saint tout, Archbishop John usually doesn’t come to see him.

In fact, he is completely a pursuit of faith. His relationship with Derek does not involve power and money. They usually exchange a lot of letters, but they never meet.

"Please let him in."

Derek thought about it after speaking, and stood up again: "I’ll go to greet him."

He took two steps, took off his shoes, took two more steps, turned around and put them on again.

"He's crazy."

Derrick smiled and went out to greet him. There was no need for his own people to play this trick again, and it would be boring if the trick was played too much.

But Archbishop John was more anxious than him, and he came in before he went out.

"Saint."

Archbishop John's expression was a little impatient, with rare emotional fluctuations.

"What happened?" Derek was very curious. Since he praised Derek, Archbishop John has encountered a lot of criticism.

Minorities will always be excluded by the mainstream.
