Fred knew what had happened to Viduka and the eldest daughter of the Knight of Cumberland, and he knew that the young knight had been recognized, and that revenge was understandable in the eyes of the Tarons, and even if it violated the knight's code of conduct, it was not something unforgivable;

And the former bandit leader Gross killed Gross only because of a different position. Although Ena'com Fred is an aristocrat, with his education, he also knows very well that if the low-level characters want to rise, they will always be unable to get rid of the so-called "original sin" of origin.

Since he had promised not to blame the past in order to recruit Gross, these things were naturally beyond the scope of his condemnation.

He opened his mouth, but eventually fell silent.

Gross pulled out a vial of vital water from his bosom and swallowed it.

The awakened mid-level Steel Heart Flow Warrior has a good physique, and although Viduka's assassination left him injured, his injuries are rapidly recovering under the dual effects of his own strong physique and life holy water.

However, the relaxed and convivial atmosphere of the previous banquet is gone.

The moment Gross drew his sword, almost all the knights and guards in the castle hall thought that this young mercenary leader from the mountain people was about to assassinate their young master Fred, and for a moment, the sound of drawing swords or weapons striking was endless.

Nervous, yet quiet.

Viduka was escorted away from the banquet by the other knights, and Fred raised his arms, and the knights lowered their weapons.

Undoubtedly, the atmosphere of the banquet was no longer suitable for continuation at this time.

Redder felt a fine layer of sweat on his palms, but when he turned his head sideways, he saw the knights' eyes that seemed to have a faint palpitation.

Because of that sword.

The sword that Gross had just struck out of nowhere.

Drawing his sword casually and easily sending out an extremely powerful sword qi slash may not tell the whole story, but at least, it confirms the terrifying strength of this young mercenary leader

Even the Iris Knights, who are known for their excellent personal strength, are only a handful of people who can achieve this level internally, and in the memories of the few knights present, in the entire knight order, except for the head Elijah Elliot and Brant of the Military Affairs Department, as well as the old knight commanders who have long since retired, there are not many characters who can easily release their sword qi.

"Gross, I'm so sorry."

After a while, Fred finally spoke again, his voice was a little low, it was clear that the changes in the banquet were not his arrangement, nor did he expect such a thing to happen, and his previous thoughts and plans had to be put on hold for a while.

"Your injuries ......"

He asked again with concern.

"It's not that serious."

Gross smiled. The other party's attitude was frank and warm, and he had to admit that "bald brother" Fred Wolf was indeed a very charismatic guy.

However, the inner paths of the two sides are different, and it is difficult to come together after all.

He didn't explain much, and perhaps, sooner or later, the other party would understand something.

"I've got some medicine that works well, and now and in the future, you might need it."

"Thank you."

The conversation between the two sides was very polite, even more polite than when they met not long ago, but everyone already understood that under this superficial politeness, the relationship between the two sides quickly narrowed, and it seemed that they were suddenly alienated because of the sudden change at the banquet.

"Then, my companion and I will return to the town of Faun first, and if there is anything else, please ask the Baron to give me orders."

"See you tomorrow, Gross."

The conversation was uneventful, the feast ended quickly, and Gross stepped on his horse and soon left Kingfisher's Castle.

When he walked out of the castle, he happened to meet several familiar old people, Michelle "Grizzly Bear", White "Black Bear" and "White Bear" Braque, who looked at each other but did not say much.

Michelle's gaze was a little complicated.

He had already heard about what had happened on the battlefield, and he had heard about the scene that had just happened in the castle hall, and he didn't know what the "wolf head" Gross had gone through, so that in just a few months, his strength had grown to such a point

If the two were still rivals in the past, then now the other party has become the object that he can only look up to.

object, not target.

He couldn't talk about the target, because he knew what kind of strength it was, and he couldn't catch up at all.

But this is also the doubt in his heart.

……

The sun shone through the canopy of the birch grove, and the dazzling points of light shone on the open space in the castle, and the servants were still busy, and when the banquet was over, the knights also left the hall of the banquet in twos and threes, sometimes talking and laughing, sometimes whispering, as if nothing unpleasant had happened at the banquet just now.

Inside the hall, Fred's face was as calm as water.

He put his hands on the armrests of his chair, and the castle's butler, Old Potter, stood respectfully.

"How's Viduka's injury?"

He asked.

At the banquet, he did not condemn or punish Viduka, he loved his knights, and although the handling of this matter might be displeased to Gross to some extent, he chose to do so

This was the principle of his actions, and although he admired Gross very much, there were some things that he did not want to pay for.

"Ah Master Fred, Viduka has been treated by the doctor, and his arm has been reconnected, but according to the doctor, his right hand cannot be vigorously moved for at least a year, that is, within this year, he loses the ability to fight."

Potter, the old butler, babbled in a slow emphasis, as he looked up at Fred's expression

The baron, who was in the wide seat, stood up, and could see that his expression was quietly soothed, and he took a few steps along the traces of sunlight cast by the window, and stood in front of the windowsill, looking at the scenery outside, but could not help but sigh leisurely.

"Our reinforcements, the combined forces of Tarun and Karthas, are estimated to be arriving in the next two days, right?"

He turned and looked at Potter, the old butler

The old gentleman was originally a subordinate of Lord Calen Bennett, but when Karen Bennett left Karlthus to retire to his son, he rejoined the Wolf family.

Most of the Wolf family's servants were not mere servants, and in many cases, the older ones were former retired soldiers or junior officers, while the younger ones and some ladies were the orphans of some of the unfortunate ones who died in battle

The fate of the soldiers in these years is far from pretty, and when they are physically disabled or lose their ability to work in old age, all they can wait for for the rest of their lives is some sorrow, pain, and poverty.

For thousands of years, the Wolf family, as one of the most military nobles in the Northlands, has seen too much such suffering.
