Chapter 67: Martial Arts Competition

After a moment of hesitation, Derek still couldn't bear to refuse.

Especially the eldest sister of the Palmer family... I heard she was very charming.

But the title of brother-in-law is not appropriate. He is about to meet his fiancée, so he must be respectful.

Adrian seemed to see Derek's hesitation and suddenly stepped forward.

"Sir David, if the young lady of the Palmer family has nowhere to go for the time being, our Lord Viscount can take her in temporarily, but please don't say anything that will cause misunderstanding.

The Lord Viscount is about to meet his fiancée, the young lady from the Pereira family, do you understand?"

Good guy, look how beautiful this is, how can this be called a thief?

This is called taking in, taking in three homeless young ladies, this is a good deed.

Well done, cousin, I will give you a raise next month.

David also apologized immediately and called the Viscount seriously.

It doesn't matter if you can't call him brother-in-law, as long as you call him for the first time.

The Palmer family didn't expect to be the Viscountess, they just used women to maintain a relationship.

And it's not just women.

After David apologized, he immediately presented the list of gifts for apology, which was obviously prepared long ago.

"Sir, my father told me before I came here that the Palmer family is what it is today, all thanks to your support.

In the future, the Palmer family will follow your lead, and will present no less than this amount of apology every year."

Adrian took the gift list and took a look at it before handing it to Derek.

Derek saw that it was a big deal.

A donation is worth more than a thousand gold coins.

The Ferreira family, a traditional baron family, would only have this level if its annual income was cut in half.

Should we say that the other party is rich or sincere?

However, there is no reason to return the money that is delivered to the door.

The important thing is, will you accept it next year?

Derek still has the moral level to do things for money.

This question doesn't really need to be thought about, right?

A powerful baron, and the two of them are naturally marked with the same mark.

As beneficiaries of this war and members of the emerging nobility, they have common interests.

And Baron Palmer is a very sensible person.

Derek accepted it and smiled: "I hope to see you, David, come to visit me next year."

David also smiled. It was not uncommon for him to fail to give gifts before, but now he finally got a good result.

Derek had some exchanges with David and learned about the recent situation of the Palmer family.

In fact, the situation of the Palmer family is very good.

Even if it is not welcomed, there are many invisible benefits to joining the circle of feudal nobles.

And with an extra piece of fiefdom, there are fewer obstacles in business, which are all good news.

It's just that after joining the ranks of feudal nobles, the Palmer family has higher aspirations.

On the one hand, they are afraid of sinking again, and on the other hand, they hope to be respected.

Human ambition is indeed endless.

As for the sisters, Derek held back.

He is about to meet his fiancée, so there is no need to rush for one or two days.

If he doesn't have this little self-control, he won't mess around.

David didn't stay for long. He sent gifts and sisters and left after two days.

Derek started the itinerary that was delayed for two days.

This time, Derek not only set out with the guards and knights.

In order to deal with the upcoming southern nobles, half of the entire Saint Maitreya Corps was drawn out, and a small part of the private army that the Augusta family had trained for half a year was also brought out.

A mighty army of five or six thousand people formed an army and marched towards Plan City.

In fact, the southern nobles were more anxious than imagined.

The Second Northern Expedition Corps was still on the way, and a group of knights composed of southern nobles arrived in Plan City first.

When Derek arrived, the other party had been there for a few days.

When the bad news was confirmed, the southern nobles went completely crazy.

After waiting for ten years, they waited for this opportunity, and were fooled by the barbarians first. Finally, they saw hope, but were sold out by their allies.

It was so miserable, no wonder the southern nobles were anxious.

And with the rise of the economy, the southern nobles did not relax their pursuit of military power.

With a large investment, a group of good knights were indeed trained.

The equipment of the southern knights also exceeded that of the knights in the north and the capital.

In the past few days, the knights representing several places have had more than a dozen conflicts.

The worst ones were the central nobles represented by the Royal Capital Knights. They were beaten up no matter which side they faced.

The Northern Knights and the Southern Knights unexpectedly tied.

While the Northern Knights were shocked, everyone looked at the Southern Knights with new eyes.

The old Earl and other older generation Northern Knights also truly realized the fact that the new generation of Northern Knights were declining.

The consequence of the decline of the new generation of Northern Knights was the rise of the Southern Knights.

In the case of not being able to fight in large armies, whichever side's knights have an advantage in the competition will obviously seize more voice.

If the momentum of the Southern Knights cannot be suppressed, the sphere of influence divided by the three families before will obviously be counted.

It makes no sense that the strong are submissive and the weak speak loudly.

In this atmosphere, more than a dozen waves of messengers came a day to urge Derek.

The Viscount, who was originally preparing to meet his fiancée leisurely, once again resumed the state of dragon roar.

"A bunch of rubbish, beaten down by a bunch of female knights, delaying my work."

Cannot see his fiancée, cannot go home, cannot see his sisters... No, cross it out.

Cannot see the people that the Viscount cares about most, how many things have been delayed.

This time, even the noble servants including Virut did not dare to speak up to point out the little mistake in the Viscount's words.

It is also a shame for the new generation of northern knights to tie with the southern knights.

In fact, military force has always been the biggest reliance of the northern knights.

Once the golden body is broken, the chain reaction triggered is very terrible.

The political resources that were not much to begin with are afraid to be reduced again.

It is related to the overall interests of the northern nobles, and no one dares to despise it.

The only good news is that Viscount Derek has not made a move yet.

Two months of training not only made everyone reborn, but also gave them blind trust in Derek.

The cursing Viscount finally abandoned the large army and galloped away with his servants.

When they arrived at the foot of Plan City, they were told that the old earl took the northern nobles to the military camp, where the knights' duels in the past few days were held.

Derek made a circle and came to the military camp outside the city.

From a distance, he saw a group of knights' pennants and nobles' square flags fluttering in the wind.

It seemed that a competition had just ended, and a group of people were cheering.

Derek approached and heard someone shouting.

"Tell your young man named Derek to come quickly. Wait until I defeat him and see what excuses you have."

"The knights of the north have declined. It's time for us knights of the south to take their place."
