The crisis in Copperhill was defused with the help of the likes of Cross and Reiner. Almost all of the Antara goblins were wiped out, and the few that remained fled north.

On the Copperhill side, Reiner was seriously wounded, six civilians were slightly injured, and Cross and the werewolf suffered only a few skin injuries.

And the werewolf who came to the aid this time was none other than Watson.

Watson picked up Reiner and followed Cross back to Copper Mountain.

Civilians were holding up their tools of work and cheering, "Cross, Cross!"

It's a way for the residents of Copper Mountain to celebrate their victory and show their gratitude.

In the midst of such shouts, the women and children who were hiding in the house also opened the closed door of the house and walked to the pass at the fence.

"Do any of you know how to heal? Reiner is seriously injured and needs to be treated. Cross's voice drowned out the cheers, which stopped abruptly.

"Your Excellency Cross, I'm fine, just rest for a few days. Reiner said this, but he was already weak.

"Your Excellency, I will take care of Captain Reiner's wounds. "It was a woman who spoke.

"Please, then. Cross motioned for Watson to carry Reiner and follow the woman. "Watson, when Reiner is settled, you come to me. ”

Watson just smiled and didn't reply.

Cross looked at the civilians in front of him, most of them were covered in blood, and they had indeed experienced the defense of Copperhill.

And these people also looked at Cross, and in their opinion, it was Cross who saved Coppermountain.

"You are brave, without you, Copperhill would cease to exist. Cross said.

"Your Excellency Cross is heroic, and without you, let alone Copper Mountain Town, it is a question of whether we would survive or not. ”

"Yes, Lord Cross is the savior of Copperhill Town!"

At this moment, a gray-haired woman walked out of the crowd, "Your Excellency, you are the eldest son of Count Thor Crane, the hope of the Crane Lord, if you don't dislike the remoteness of Copper Mountain Town, I hope you can become the lord here." ”

"Become our lord!" Lord Cross. ”

"yes, we don't want to be bullied by those brutes in Sunset City anymore!"

The old white-haired woman suddenly fell to her knees, "We ask you to become the lord of Copper Mountain Town!"

Immediately afterwards, the rest of the civilians also fell to their knees.

"It was you who saved us, saved our family, even if you are not the eldest son of the old earl, I hope you can become our lord. ”

"Lord Cross, grant our request!"

Cross smiled imperceptibly, his plan had basically achieved the result he wanted.

He knew very well that if Gawain was the nominal lord alone, he would not be able to make these people submit.

After experiencing Sunset City's jurisdiction, these people will only think that nobles like Gawain are not much different from those guys in Sunset City.

And, in addition to getting the people to submit, Cross was supposed to deal with the soldiers of Sunset City. There was no need for such trouble now, and the goblin troops brought in by Cross allowed the soldiers of Sunset City to escape on their own.

These two points are the main purpose of Cross's plan this time. Of course, this time, there is something else, and that is the performance of Werewolf Watson.

After being saved by Watson in the thick fog, Cross has always wanted to make Watson his own force.

However, after all, Cross is a human being, he will definitely live with humans, even if he succeeds in recruiting Watson, Watson will not be treated sincerely by the humans around him, if that is the case, then Watson will leave sooner or later.

And this time, Watson appeared quite just in time, when the residents of Copperhill were already desperate, he appeared, he saved the humans behind the fence, he saved the confidence of the people of Copperhill.

Cross believes that even if the relationship between humans and werewolves is not good, the inhabitants of Copperhill will not treat Watson like monsters.

This will also provide a good foundation for Watson's future life in Copper Mountain.

This is Cross's plan to kill three birds with one stone.

Win people's hearts, eliminate dissidents, and help werewolves build prestige.

Of course, in addition to these three main goals, this plan also allowed Cross to gain a few other things.

However, it was not yet time for him to celebrate, and he did not want his future subjects to celebrate too long in this small victory.

"Get up first, and the wounded go and bandage first. I'll need your help with the corpse after it's bandaged, it will attract scavengers, and it must be disposed of as soon as possible. ”

The kneeling civilians looked at each other and got up, believing that Cross had granted their request.

"Also, don't mention the matter of making me the lord of Copper Mountain Town. ”

"Lord Cross, don't you want to be our lord, we don't want to be ruled by the guys of Sunset City anymore!"

"Sir, save us! we really don't want to be crushed by those brutes. ”

As he spoke, the civilians knelt down again.

Cross said lightly, "I'm not very suitable to be a lord, I grew up in the Imperial Military Academy, if I am allowed to be a lord, I am afraid you will resent me." ”

"How can we resent you, you are the savior of Coppermountain, the savior of all of us!"

"I'm strict with myself, and I'm no different with my people. If you don't take a nap, won't you resent me?"

Hearing this, the civilians fell silent.

At this time, the gray-haired woman spoke, "The rumors are true! The rumors are true! Silver-eyed Cross is the hope of the Crane Lord! Only a strict lord can cultivate a strong lord!"

The old woman's words once again caused all the commoners to beg Cross to be their lord, and Cross felt that the older woman was different, and he decided to meet her alone at a later date.

However, he still did not hastily agree to them to become the lords of Copperhill.

He told everyone that the real lord of Copperhill Town was his friend, named Gawain, who was on his way to Copperhill Town, and that he could wait for Gawain to make a final decision on the matter of the lord of Copperhill Town.

Everyone said that His Excellency Cross was more thoughtful.

Seeing that he was no longer pestering, Cross planned to start the post-war processing work, "Then, if you are not injured, you can burn the corpse with me first." ”

"Yes!"

"By the way, the werewolf I called today is named Watson. ”
