Chapter 93: After the War
As it turned out, Wiley's prediction was correct.
Over the next month, Dibbon and Selwin, along with their other three knight companions, also pushed back the garrison of the neighboring Duchy of Vata, Changying Town, to the edge of their town, and the entire defense line outside Changying Town basically collapsed.
Since then, Baron Kells's worries about Diamond Town have completely dissipated. Exchanging a snow-streaked deer for a month's support from five high-ranking knights was a good deal for both him and the Count of Lombal.
After the five knights returned to the main battlefield, the situation also stabilized, and Willy on the border was also transferred back to Diamond Town.
This time, it was Willy's new identity, the vice-captain of the Diamond Town Pro-Military Agency.
The status is only below Ole.
This short trip to the border has accumulated enough capital for Veli.
Specially packaged by Baron Kells, the story of Velli leading the Diamond Guard, heroically repelling the enemies of the Principality of Vata, and achieving a glorious first war, has spread to every corner of Diamondtown. Of course, the matter concerning several high-ranking knights was hidden without a trace.
At this time, the name of Willy Pheren in Diamond Town was hotly discussed by almost everyone, and at the same time, his origin was widely known.
Baron Kells also took advantage of this to invisibly establish a young man from the countryside, and through his efforts to become a high-ranking official under the aristocracy, the young people of Diamond Town also regarded Willy Pheren as their idol.
In this way, Baron Kells's brainwashing operation was a great success.
Along with Willy, the captains of the Diamond Guards on the border were also transferred, but their status after returning was very intriguing as the place where they were placed by the baron. Rickel, for example, became the honorary vice-mayor of Diamond Town, and so did the rest of the people, all of whom were placed in positions that looked like they had a high status but had little real power.
At the current border, only Kress and Wilburn are left, commanding a guard of less than 300 people.
For all this, it is clear to the discerning person that this is Baron Kells and Ole using coercive means to pave the way for his successor, Bamos.
"Captain, this is the latest list to enter the pro-soldier team, you can take a look. ”
In Vali's exclusive office, Sandor handed over a document to Valey.
Sandor and Dahn, who benefited from the early days of the Bamos team, had a chance to perform, and after returning to Diamond Town, they both became junior mid-level officers in the pro-military agency, serving as Wiley's deputy.
"Hmm......"
Willy answered, then gave him a casual glance and placed it on the table.
Since being promoted by Baron Kells to be the vice-captain of the pro-army team, Willy has obviously found that Ole has come to the pro-military office less and less often, and more affairs have been transferred to Willy's hands.
This was a gradual process of decentralization, which allowed Willy to slowly build up his prestige in the pro-military agency.
But now Valey is not very enthusiastic about this.
Ever since he saw Dibbon and Selwyn's moves, his desire to practice the Frost Knight Breathing Method has become stronger and stronger, and he almost doesn't care about anything, he just wants to practice with peace of mind.
This time the border finally let Willy know why the commoners still chose to live prostrate under the repeated oppression of the nobles. It's not that they don't want to resist, but under the extraordinary power, the numbers have become thin and weak.
Even Willy is conjecturing that in the main battlefield of this battle between the two countries, perhaps it will be a higher level of extraordinary power that will determine the victory.
"In the future, you and Dahn can take care of this kind of small matter, so you don't have to trouble me. ”
Willy said to Sandor.
Sandor answered, and walked out the door. His head was high, his waist was straight, the beard on his face had been cleaned again, and his whole person looked very majestic.
Now Sandor and Dahn have also become the upstarts of Diamond Town, and they are being co-opted by many businessmen and officials.
"What a hassle......
Willy rubbed his temples, because of the delay of too many trivial matters, the progress of the Frost Knight's breathing method was much slower.
According to the original plan, I should have achieved at least eighty percent of the progress now, but now, it is only seventy percent. Don't look at this gap of only one percent, in the later stage of breathing practice, this achievement represents a huge gap.
"It's time to return to Fandoutun. ”
Willy listened to the cold wind howling outside the house, and thought to himself.
This year's cold winter came earlier than usual, and it was just early winter, and some people were already wrapped in cotton clothes. As a rule of thumb, this is going to be a particularly difficult winter. The nobles and the rich could keep warm by the stove, but the commoners could only burn some firewood, and the means of keeping out the cold were too poor.
Coupled with the scarcity of food in winter, many poor people may not be able to withstand the devastation of this winter.
Thinking of this, Willy suddenly felt a little lucky, if it weren't for his arrival, the current Faren family should also be worried about this immediate problem.
Willy stood up, picked up the quill in front of him, dipped it in ink, and began to write a letter of leave to the baron.
Now Willy no longer has any obstacles in reading and writing.
"Why...... As I honestly wrote, my knightly breathing method practice had reached a bottleneck. ”
Willy knew very well that Baron Kells would approve of this reason, and he knew better than himself that Diamond Town needed a knight-level high-level combat force more than a diligent official.
After writing the letterhead, Willy wrapped his coat and walked out of the office, even if there was a leave letter, he had to make a trip himself.
......
Fandoutun.
"Tun Elder is back!"
As soon as Willy rode into Fandoutun, some children of seven or eight years old shouted loudly, and there were reverent eyes in their eyes.
Willy Pheron, the name has spread throughout Diamond Town, including Fandoutun naturally.
Now when the residents of Fandoutun go out, they will unconsciously mention that they are the residents of Weili, and whenever they say this, they will gain the envy of others.
As the upstart of Diamond Town, Fandoutun, which is subordinate to Weili, will definitely become rich in the future, and as the first batch of old people in Fandoutun, they will also thoroughly enjoy all the dividends of Fandoutun's development.
"Master Tun. ”
Even in the cold winter, Old York still insisted on patrolling Fandoutun, and he would reprimand those who were not serious about their work, or who were lazy and idle.
When he heard that Willy was back, he trotted all the way over, despite his old bones.
