After this "border blood river" incident, several surrounding lords and churches have converged a lot, and the leaders and congregations have also ushered in a long-lost peace.

The whole story was immediately placed on the lords' desks, and after a brief weighing, the lords unanimously chose to restrain their troops and retreat to the territory so as not to attract the attention of this reckless adventuring group.

"Lord Marquis, based on what we have seen with our own eyes, the actual combat strength of the Dragon Expeditionary Regiment is at least one legend or more, and it cannot be defined by the standard of an ordinary Sanctuary. ”

Count Clarkson respectfully handed a report to Count Sandswind.

After this war, the balance of power between the two counts and the marquis was disastrously unbalanced, and the Earl of Scotta's domain was killed in battle because of the earl in the prime of life, and the heirs fought for the title, and the sinister tactics and ruthless methods were so fierce that even the normal succession of the duke's title could not be compared. If nothing else, this count was divided into three viscounts and a number of baronies by his three sons, and his dominance was greatly reduced.

And although Count Clarkson's own strength as the core deterrent of the Sanctuary is still there, the loss of a large number of troops and the fall of his allies have made him lose his qualification to be equal to the marquis, which is why Count Clarkson is obedient.

Marquis Jinshafeng nodded slightly, took the report, glanced at it casually and put it next to him.

The vassals of the marquis have long since swelled day by day, and there is a vague intention of disobedience to the lord, which has already been revealed when deciding whether to fight back against the Sky Church. However, the Marquis took advantage of this opportunity to use the hands of the dragon expedition to wipe out the power of the two counts in one fell swoop, which made Count Clarkson have to be cautious.

"In that case, let the accountability and retribution in aristocratic diplomacy be abolished. Do you have any comments? ”

Wherever the marquis looked, the nobles and nobles bowed their heads one after another.

"Viscount Andrei. The Marquis called his son again.

In the past, although the marquis's son was good, he lacked prestige, so he was placed in a major city as a viscount. But now, the strength of the Dragon Expedition has turned his past disgraceful experience into rising capital, which makes the Marquis think of re-promotion.

The Marquis pondered for a moment and said, "In view of Viscount Andrei's previous merits in breaking the sky, and his subsequent friendship with the Dragon Expedition, I intend to divide a piece of the Barony of Count Skoda to Andrei as a commendation. ”

There was a slight commotion among the nobles below.

The Marquis's move is a blatant violation of the rules among the nobles, taking away their territory without consulting the Cauda family, expanding the power of his own family, even as their lord, regardless of whether a small barony is rich in products and whether the geographical conditions are good, this is a damage and provocation to the honor of the Skoda family.

But none of the nobles below dared to speak out. In this era when wars are frequent, and there are more than forty dukes alone, the rules will only work if the strength is equal, and more often than not, it is still a fist-sized speech.

Andrei looked happy and said loudly, "Yes, Lord Marquis. ”

The Marquis once again admonished, "Remember to do your best to maintain good relations with Leo and them." ”

Leo did not look happy after the victory, although he had also traveled abroad for more than ten years, but it was also the first time he had seen such a large-scale massacre.

The smell of blood on the battlefield is even breathless.

He lay down in the carriage with a complicated face, and let Omoni drive the carriage towards the next target.

"What if the war is still not stopped?"

Nana's inquiry rang in his head again.

These days, as long as he closes his eyes, the broken arms, legs, and corpses floating in the river will appear in front of his eyes.

He turned his head and glanced at Ent.

They read books and exercised their workouts, and they were not affected by the bloody scene of the day.

Both of them were killed from the sea of corpses and blood in the past, and they have long been used to facing each other.

Leo couldn't help but be a little envious of little Paul, who was scouting in front, who was not mentally polluted on the battlefield.

"Could it be that you are too soft?" said Leo to himself.

"What?" asked Nana, who heard Leo's voice, turning her head to the side.

"Nothing. Leo muttered, and then complained casually, "Why hasn't little Paul found a place to rest? I'm dying of hunger." ”

"You've been overeating lately, Leo, and we've paid for half of our food bills. Nana nodded Leo's stomach.

"Can you blame me for being hungry? Oh hey, little Paul is back. Leo half-crouched up to Omoni's side, leaning on his horse and looking ahead.

I saw little Paul lying on the horse's back, whipping the horse's buttocks, and constantly rushing towards the carriage, his face seemed to be very anxious.

"Leo!" called out little Paul from afar.

"What's the matter, little Paul, calm down, even if there are a dozen girls chasing you behind, you don't have to be in such a hurry. ”

Little Paul took hold of the reins, and upright the man with the horse and spun around a few times.

"Good horsemanship. Leo whistled.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Little Paul pointed ahead with his horsewhip. "I found the army of the church in front. ”

Leo raised an eyebrow and said, "So what's the matter? You want to kill them?"

"No! it's not this! The army of the church pressed many of the villagers in the direction of the kingdom of faith. ”

"Villagers?" said Esenas and Ente, who had heard the movement, also climbed out of the carriage and looked at little Paul.

"Yes, it seems that there are two or three people from the village, I don't dare to act rashly, and I will come back to inform you quickly. Little Paul pulled the horse and turned around anxiously, which made the horse snort in dissatisfaction.

"That doesn't sound good. Leo stood up with a frown, and a bounce landed behind little Paul.

"I'll go with little Paul and take a look, and you follow. ”

Leo and Paul Jr. sat down worthy of the famous horses of the Craftsman Town, and they galloped back and forth without the slightest fatigue, and in only a quarter of an hour they touched the side of the Church's army.

Leo and Paul Jr. hid their horses and followed the crowd from a distance.

The crowd was not tightly guarded, but a few soldiers were scattered in the four major directions of the front, back, left and right, and it seemed that it was just to prevent the crowd from scattering.

Leo dragged little Paul and told him to wait here, while he slipped forward and stunted the two men and stripped them of their clothes.

"Put it on. Leo handed little Paul a child's clothes.

"You're a genius. Little Paul reluctantly changed into this dress.

"And on the face, get some dirt, mud, don't show your flaws. Leo grabbed a handful of mud from the ground and pasted it on little Paul's face.

Seeing that Leo spit two mouthfuls of saliva on his hands, wanting to add some material to little Paul's face, little Paul hurriedly waved his hand and refused.

Leo looked left and right, and after thinking that there was no problem, he took little Paul and blended into the crowd from the other side.

"Hey. Leo poked a middle-aged uncle.

"What's the matter, my brother?" the middle-aged uncle turned around, pressed his right hand against the back of his left hand, pressed his left hand against his chest, and nodded slightly.

"Hello, my brother. Leo did the same, and returned the same etiquette.

After a slight pause, Leo continued, "I don't know which village you belong to?"

"What about you from Lanna Village?"

"Xihe Village. ”

"Sorry, haven't heard of it. The middle-aged uncle shook his head.

"Maybe it's because we're too far away... I'd like to ask you personally. Leo said to the uncle with a sincere face.

"I guess I was separated from my family. The middle-aged uncle had an expression that he had expected a long time ago, and said: "There are often people who are separated from their families in the past few days, but it doesn't matter, everyone is a brother in the church, and if one person is in trouble, all sides will help each other." ”

Leo pretended to praise the true god, and then described Nana's appearance to the middle-aged uncle.

After listening carefully, the middle-aged uncle said regretfully: "I haven't seen it, you can go to the front and ask." ”

When Leo heard this, he sighed and said, "Alas, I don't know what the true God wants us to do. If it weren't for God's command, we wouldn't have had to suffer from this. ”

Unexpectedly, when the middle-aged uncle heard this, instead of showing empathy, he criticized Leo with a serious face.

"What are you talking about, my brother? The middle-aged uncle put his hands on Leo's shoulders and looked at Leo seriously. "It is the glory of our believers to serve the gods of the sky, not the suffering, and I see that you are still young to doubt the true God, but I advise you not to mention these things in front of the monks and nuns, or they will surely condemn you for laziness. ”

Realizing that things were going completely different from what he had imagined, Leo immediately changed his words and said with some trepidation: "I also miss my family. ”

The middle-aged uncle shook his head, made a church ritual again, and whispered: "The gods are above all else. ”

Leo followed suit.

"The gods are above all else. ”

After seeing Leo's statement, the middle-aged man's expression softened.

Taking advantage of the easing of the atmosphere, Leo asked again, "I heard that the church's front-line army has lost, will this be for us to go to war?"

If this is the case, it is a blessing for us, and to enter the kingdom of God in battle, we are heroic spirits above the believers, and this is an opportunity that many people cannot ask for. ”

The fanaticism for the kingdom of God and the gods on the face of the middle-aged man made Leo speechless.

He thought that these villagers were forced to capture and recruit soldiers, so he reminded them by knocking on the side, but he never expected that these villagers not only did not feel fear, but thought that this was glory.

Leo thought back to the soldiers on the battlefield, in the river, the fear of death and the desire for life were not discriminate, didn't those soldiers of the church have the same devout belief in the gods as the middle-aged uncle in front of him.

Leo was silent for a moment, then said his farewell.

After slipping out of the crowd with little Paul, Leo remembered a question Nana hadn't asked.

What if killing all these soldiers doesn't stop the war?
