Chapter 106: Bereavement
In the central hall of the town of Nisse.
William, whose face was pale and his body was a little weak, was listening to the report on the results of the battle from Old John.
This is the sequelae of the overuse of the power of life energy, which overdraws the body and takes a certain amount of time to recuperate.
Old John's eyes were sad, and his tone was heavy.
"Lord Baron, in this sudden battle, one deputy regiment commander died, the knight-level detachment leader also died three and two were wounded, and the ordinary warriors were even more seriously wounded, a total of forty-eight people were killed, five were seriously injured, and eleven were lightly injured."
"Most of the wounded warriors were injured by that multi-eyed monster, and their flesh and blood were corroded, even if the injuries were healed, it was estimated that they would not be able to stay in the Knights."
"Then arrange for these wounded soldiers to go to the security team, or to other posts. They are working hard for our whole town of Nisse, and we can't let them pay, but we can't get anything in return, like a piece of rotten cloth that is thrown away. In that case, who else will fight for me and the entire town of Nisse? William looked at Old John with a serious expression.
"Yes! Lord Baron! Old John was stunned and replied.
William nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Those soldiers who died in battle, the pension must not be greedy for ink, it must be 100% sent to their families, if anyone dares to covet a Poole copper coin from it, if I find out, then I will send him to explain the reason to the dead soldiers." You know? β
William was murderous.
"Yes! Lord Baron! Old John paused again.
"Hmm!" Seeing Old John so serious, William snorted lightly, and remembered the appearance of Jerry Hust's death, and his heart was sour.
People are not plants.
Jerry Hughest has followed him from birth to death for so long, and this appearance, to some extent, can be said to have saved his life!
How could he have no feelings for Jerry Hughest in his heart?
Complicated feelings turned into dark clouds rolling in William's heart, and William closed his eyes.
Old John stood quietly, not daring or wanting to disturb William.
After a long time, William reopened his eyes, looked at Old John, and asked, "Old John, how is the house of Hustherd the Swineherd?" β
"Lord Baron, they are all sad!" Old John didn't feel good about it.
This time it's Jerry Hust.
So who will be next?
Is it his precious son? Drake?
From his father's point of view, he didn't want his son to face the danger, but from the perspective of the territory, he couldn't say it.
William let out a long sigh, "Yes, sad! Saddened...... Who doesn't feel bad? β
This battle also taught William a lesson.
He thought that a paradise had been built in this world, and then he now realized that his paradise was only built on sand, and as soon as the tide came, the paradise collapsed.
In the end, only strength is the guarantee of the happiness of this world.
William thought of the mysterious power of the two black-robed men, and then of his half-brother, Andrew...... A fire of longing burned in William's heartβmystical power!
William pondered for a while, then regained his composure and said, "Are there any other children in the Hughes family?" Or, Does Jerry Hughest have a baby? β
"Yes, Lord Baron, he was married last year to the daughter of a farmer, who bore him a boy. I've seen it, it's a healthy boy! Just like Jerry. β
"Hmm!" William nodded, but did not speak.
Old John couldn't guess what William was thinking.
It didn't take long for William to make a decision, "Old John, I'm going to build an academy in town. β
"Academy?" Old John didn't understand why William suddenly said this, and said puzzledly, "Lord Baron, isn't there a school in our town?" β
"It's different, old John! The academy I plan to build is specifically for teaching knight cultivation! William Stone was shocked.
"I plan that in the future, if you do something beneficial to the territory, you can enter this knight academy to learn the knight training method, and you can even get my personal guidance."
The personal tutoring that William said must be the magic mirror to correct the mistakes of the movements, and to use those home remedies with serious side effects to improve the strength.
Old John was stunned for a moment, "Lord Baron, no nobleman is willing to teach such a precious thing to others?" β
Before, William could still be said to be in a hurry, but now, the territory has been stabilized.
William didn't need to be so heavy at all.
From his point of view, because his son is a knight-level powerhouse, Old John doesn't want William's knightly exercise method to be known to more people.
"Of course, not everyone will be able to teach, only those who have made a significant contribution to the territory can enter this knight academy."
"Jerry Hust's case is a person who has made a significant contribution to the territory, his son is too young to enter the academy, but when he grows up, there will definitely be a place for him in the academy."
"The Dikas Territory can't forget everyone who fought for her!" William was conclusive.
"Discuss with Jacques Potter and old Gretel, and make a charter for me to see." William commanded.
"Yes, Lord Baron!" Old John nodded and replied, William's suggestion is actually beneficial to them if you think about it carefully, at least from the institutional point of view, it gives them a guarantee.
What did William bother to build this territory for before, it was not that there was something to be done by others, and if an enemy came to the door to greet him, a group of his subordinates could go up and fight in groups.
It's like the assassination of the Scarlet Hand, like this battle of the Mysteries.
If William hadn't had this group of men, he wouldn't have been able to stand here alive today.
The idiom that there are many people is not just talking.
William thought quietly for a while, then asked again, "Have you sorted out the black-robed man's things?" β
"It's sorted out, Lord Baron." Old John already had a draft in his heart, and when he heard William's question, he immediately replied.
As soon as he clapped his hands, some servants walked in with a few things.
The first thing that catches your eye is a tattered black robe.
This was followed by four or five irregular black crystals with a gray cloud of gas inside. These things were taken from the pockets of the black-robed men.
Finally, the silver mosquito carcass that had been cut in half by William.
As for the other things, they were corrupted and damaged by the blood of the hundred-eyed earthworm, so they didn't take it.
William's gaze swept over the objects, especially after a few more glances at the strange black crystals, then he stood up and strode out the door, "Follow me." β
Old John immediately followed William with a few servants.
Outside a room in William's apartment.
William kept his face calm and knocked on the door.
"Come in!" A cold-voiced female voice came from inside the room.
William pushed the door open and entered, and saw the strange woman Tina sitting at the table.
The strange woman Tina's expression was still sluggish, pale as paper, only the eyes were cold.
Old John and a few servants rushed in.
William commanded, "Put your things down, and you will go out." β
The servant put the things on the table and respectfully withdrew.
Old John closed the door.
William then looked deeply at the strange woman Tina, "Hello, Miss Tina. β
