Lord of the North

It was dawn, and the eastern front was full of smoke and dust. The soldiers of the Lion Principality collected the corpses of their comrades here, and dug several large pits in the distance to bury these corpses to avoid the plague.

Looking around, the entire battlefield was covered with blood and corpses. Teams of captives were escorted to the rear with shackles by the soldiers. They would become slaves, or be sold to the slave market, or sent to the mines to die there.

The soldiers of the victorious Lion Principality were not excited or happy, but numb and sad on their faces.

Maybe the person who talked and laughed happily with them before can no longer speak at this moment, and an unknown number of families have been broken in this war.

"Have we got the statistics of our casualties?" In the Lion Principality's camp far away from the battlefield, Grand Duke Cameron asked after taking a bath and sitting on the upper seat.

He has a serious expression, the armor on his body has been taken off, his beard and hair are meticulously groomed, and he has changed into a gorgeous robe that he usually wears.

The result of this battle is related to whether he can continue to attack with the army, and with the rebellious Lopez nobles, he has the confidence to break through the easternmost city of Lopez-Garden.

"Grand Duke, the casualties of the soldiers we brought out this time have reached more than 7,000, and the number of casualties of the defected Lopez noble army has reached more than 10,000. The specific number has not been counted due to the limited time." The following one was wearing armor. The person bowed his head and reported.

"How many people are left in our army?"

"Including the newly joined army, we still have more than 40,000 soldiers." This time, nearly 30,000 soldiers of the nobles of the Lopez Kingdom turned against each other, which dealt a heavy blow to Earl David.

"Captured more than 14,000 enemy troops, killed nearly 20,000 on the battlefield, and the rest fled to Garton City."

"Garden City has 8,000 royal families directly under the garrison. These people are the elite who have experienced several brutal wars. Our soldiers will suffer a lot if they face them." Grand Duke Cameron said worriedly.

He used to follow King Lopez to fight around, so he naturally knew the details of these troops.

"But we have 40,000 troops!" His subordinates said confidently.

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

The three counties east of Lopez are within easy reach.

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

"Otherwise we will be powerless to resist Lopez's counterattack." Grand Duke Cameron looked in the direction of Lopez's royal city.

He couldn't understand why Asa Lake was messing around with Phil Lopez.

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

Although I don't know what this military genius thinks, Grand Duke Cameron is still on guard against him. As mentioned before, he only fears two people in the entire Lopez Kingdom.

Recurrence of old injuries, the dying King Lopez, and the suave war hawk Asa Lake.

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

Grand Duke Cameron sat there frowning after giving the order. The siege battle is bound to cause huge losses. The catapults may destroy the walls of some small towns, but it has almost no good effect on the walls of Garton City. , can only play a role in suppressing the enemy's city wall garrison.

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

"Are you ready?"

"Ready."

"Relax, don't be nervous."

"Then I'm coming!"

"bring it on!"

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

Lang Nat and the old butler stood on the sidelines watching the battle,

Once they find any danger, the two will stop it without hesitation.

After Violet said yes, her smiling eyes immediately became calm and dignified. Although she didn't fight often, she never underestimated her opponent.

Clenching the black wooden sword in his hand, he moved slowly with steps, looking for Jason's flaws.

Jason stood on the spot, turning around with Violet's movements. He planned to respond to all changes without knowing his opponent yet.

"Why didn't you make a move?" Violet found that Jason's defense was very tight, and she couldn't find a breakthrough in a short time, so she planned to harass him with words.

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

"Hmph." Violet wrinkled her nose, looking cute and cute.

"Lord Marquis's basic swordsmanship is very solid." The old housekeeper who was watching the battle sighed.

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 is too ambitious in his eyes.

"My lord is very talented, even with basic swordsmanship, he can still worship those so-called favored ones." Lang Nat stared at the field expressionlessly, and said flatly.

You are so welcome...

The corners of the old butler's eyes twitched. Although he admitted that his family members had extraordinary talents, there was still some gap between them and those who were truly favored by heaven. After all, he could not awaken extraordinary power.

"Do you think Mr. Marquis is extraordinary, or my lady is better?" The old butler said with a smile, he watched Violet grow up, and she is emotionally just like his granddaughter. He doesn't want to be compared .

"Your Excellency will definitely win." Lang Nat's eyes showed enthusiasm, and he thought for a while. The two have their own strengths. Although Jason has practiced for a short time, Lancelot's devil training before was not for naught. Willy Especially for a young lady, she definitely didn't suffer much, but she has extraordinary power.

Although it seemed that Jason was at a disadvantage in this battle, Lang Nat still chose to believe in Jason's ability without any doubts.

Blindly loyal, the old housekeeper sighed in his heart. This kind of blindly loyal subordinate is what every superior wants, let alone a powerful subordinate with superb strength like Lang Nat.

While the two were talking, the two fought against each other several times, all of which were tentative attacks launched by Violet. She was very calm and did not feel impetuous because of Jason's strict defense. If you miss a hit, immediately retreat.

If there is no opportunity to expand the results of the battle, she will not launch an all-out attack.

Her hand was wrapped with light blue energy, according to the previous agreement, she only enhanced her physical strength but not her lethality.

"It's not the style of a big man to only defend and not attack." Violet teased with a smile.

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

Sure enough, Jason raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and slightly lowered the long sword in his hand, ready to attack.

If the enemy said so, Jason would never be fooled, but he couldn't bear to be teased like this by a woman, mainly because this woman was the one he put on the marquise's candidate list.

But at this moment...

"The branch mission is released, teach this woman in front of you a lesson!"

Jason was taken aback when he heard the words, he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, and the movements of his hands stopped accordingly.
