Chapter 201: After the War (1)

Earl Connoll ran all the way, so fast that even the Northern Knights couldn't catch him.

Returning to the camp where he was previously stationed, he packed up some light belongings and continued running.

The province of St. Peter can no longer be saved, so leave immediately.

Of course, he did not forget to bring his youngest son, Baron Barin.

Earl Connoll understood that Rockman still used a strategy, but the purpose of the strategy was to defeat him head-on.

Unlike before, it was more about the weak defeating the strong.

Now, the opponent already has the strength to defeat a powerful enemy openly and openly. All he needs is a chance to defeat him.

After this battle, Leopold soared into the sky and became unstoppable.

Therefore, his attitude towards Baron Bahrain was very good.

There is no shame in losing, and he is not afraid of losing.

In any case, he still has enough capital, but it is difficult to have such a good opportunity again.

But wasn't it just for this day that we arranged for our youngest son Balin to go to Mega Man?

After running wildly for a day, Earl Connoll finally stopped after nightfall.

Many people were so tired that it was difficult to dismount. They dismounted tremblingly and collapsed together.

Although Baron Barin was good at riding, he felt that his legs were no longer his.

Along the way, I didn't even have the chance to ask what happened. I didn't even have the energy to think while running.

When he landed on the ground, his slow brain began to work.

He was not a fool, otherwise he would not have been sent to the Leopold family.

Just think about it, what made my father escape in such a mess was that the war must have ended, and the result must be beneficial to Duke Leopold.

As a Holy Cross man, he shouldn't be happy, but now he really couldn't help but laugh.

He has not forgotten that his title of baron was given to him by Rockman.

Back in the Holy Cross Kingdom, he was just an honorary baron and no one took him seriously.

On the contrary, in the Rock Kingdom, he was a feudal noble.

One can imagine his position.

Earl Connoll was older, but his health was better than that of a young man. He stood for a while before sitting down.

When he saw his son grinning widely, he patted the stone beside him and said, "Bahrain, sit here with me."

Baron Barin quickly stopped his smile. His father had just been defeated and he was smiling so happily. Wasn't it embarrassing?

He sat down obediently, as well-behaved as a student.

"Smile, I know you are happy, there is no need to hide it." Earl Conor sighed.

Baron Barin quickly explained: "Father, I have no other intention..."

"It's okay. It's not like I haven't been defeated by your father. Back then, I was driven into a ravine by the peasant uprising army. I almost jumped off a cliff, but I survived. What's this little storm?" Earl Connoll is very confident. After all, he is I have seen big scenes, and there was a wave of capital.

Baron Barin took a careful look at his father and made sure that he was really not angry. He breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not dare to be presumptuous.

After a moment of silence, Earl Connoll took the dry food and water from the attendant, handed it to Barin Baring, and then said: "Duke Leopold is indeed the most dazzling star of this era. This is his era. I I once dreamed of... eventually becoming a supporting role."

Earl Connoll was talking to himself and seemed to be talking to others.

The feeling in his heart is indeed very complicated. He doesn't know whether to be happy or sad. However, as an important opponent of the other party, there will definitely be a lot of space in the history books in the future.

To a certain extent, he also fulfilled his previous wish, just... as a villain.

Fortunately, there is still a chance to be a positive character.

Earl Connoll glanced at Baron Baring: "When I settle down, you will go back and serve under Duke Leopold.

Duke Leopold has newly occupied land and needs your help to appease the local nobles. You can use my name. "

"Father," Baron Baring jumped up in shock and couldn't believe it: "His Majesty the King will have opinions."

"Please call Bruno King from now on. That is my king, not yours." Earl Conor emphasized the title, and then he relaxed: "Do you think he will still rely on me if I lose this time?"

No matter how calm you appear, the fact is that this time you have filled in all the capital you have accumulated throughout your life.

With the king's character, he would never give himself another chance unless he had no choice.

He saw this very clearly, so he smiled bitterly and said, "Hey, since there is no chance for advancement, I might as well go back to retire and do business to make money to plan for your future."

A powerful nobleman and a fiefdom earl were not something the king could just touch if he wanted.

The worst he can do is go to a fiefdom. Can the king really take someone away and put him on trial?

Even though there were many people who disliked him before, now after his failure, even more people are speaking out for him.

What used to be a conflict of personal interests is now a conflict of class interests.

Personal interests must be subordinated to class interests. There are idiots among the nobles, but no one is stupid at this time.

Baron Baring had never thought of this until Earl Connoll said it.

Moreover, it means that Earl Connoll has cut off his own future. It will be difficult for the entire family to have a chance to improve in the future, even if the chance was not great before.

Baron Barin felt a little uncomfortable. He had feelings for his family and his father.

Upon seeing this, Earl Connoll comforted him: "Don't think too much, go back with me first, I will take stock of what I can bargain with Duke Leopold, and then look at the situation before you set off.

My era has come to an end. The family will depend on you brothers in the future.

Don't be sad. At least I am lucky compared to Archduke Fernandez. "

"Father..." Baron Barin choked.

...

With Derek defeating the Holy Cross Kingdom coalition, there are no organized hostile troops nearby.

The royal private army was also cleared out, and the arrogant General Michel became a prisoner. At this time, he still didn't understand why he was suddenly defeated.

Now all that is left are the nobles hiding in the castle and trembling.

Each family contributed a little to the participating army, and those who had nothing to do with it also contributed money and food.

Now that they have been defeated, you can imagine how scared they are.

As the Locke cavalry began to appear on the land of St. Peter's Province, the panic was aggravated.

The envoys of each family ran around everywhere, some wanted to build relationships, some wanted to escape, and more were wavering.

Affected by the nobles, the entire eastern border of the Holy Cross Kingdom was in turmoil.

Under the flames of war, no one can escape.
