Soon after, Roland sent a handwritten letter to Derde Town day and night to inform Jason of the news, and the letter also detailed the process and reason for Astolford's discovery of this information.

As he had said to Leonidas before, he did not shield Astolford because he was a close friend of him.

It's just that he wrote these two things in a letter with a little selfishness, so that the possibility of offsetting the merits and demerits is greater.

As for Astolford's punishment, neither Roland nor Leonidas said it, because now in the situation of the Barria Pass, they still need Junying and Astolfo to monitor the movements of the enemy camp from high altitudes.

However, because Astolford did not report to the commander this time and acted on his own, if Jason won after the war, everyone else would be more or less rewarded.

For example, getting a lot of wealth, or being promoted, or even being knighted, is not necessarily.

Now, apart from Sir Dorne, the only knighthood Jason has given up under his command is Lancelot and the first few people who followed Jason.

And Roland and Siegfried, who have just arrived, have not yet received the opportunity to be knighted.

"If it weren't for the lack of troops at the Baria Pass, and the cavalry of General Siegfried, which was not enough to deal with tens of thousands of enemy troops, I really wanted to take this battle feat in my hands. After sending someone to send the letter away, Roland couldn't help but say a word.

No matter how noble his character is, it is still inevitable to encounter this kind of actual emotional intelligence that is enough to become famous.

Then he looked at General Hicks' barracks, which had not moved for several days outside the Barria Pass: "I just don't know who His Highness Jason will entrust to this important task?"

"Lancelot. ”

Leonidas didn't even think about it, and he directly reported a name, which was a very deterrent among Jason's forces.

Even many people only know Lancelot, but they don't know that Jason also has Hassan and Leonida under his command.

Lancelot...... The most powerful warrior under King Arthur's legendary command?" Roland's eyes glazed over, and he remembered what Hassan had said to him the night he arrived.

The Twelve Knights of the Round Table wielded much more power and prestige under Jason's command, and the fact that they were one family was dominant was not good news for a single force.

And now, knowing from Astolford that Tobin had also arrived, coupled with the escort of the captives who had just arrived at the Barria Pass, Roland suddenly had a psychology in his heart to compete with Lancelot and the Twelve Knights of the Round Table.

Leonidas said, "Not only that, but he is now the most powerful knight under His Highness Jason, the Knight of the Sky, and I don't know when we will take that step." ”

"And he was the first person to come to His Highness's side, and His Highness would subconsciously trust his abilities. At this moment Ronnat also came over, and he had just settled the prisoners such as the Baron Donter.

What gave them a headache was that in this way, there were thousands more mouths to eat at the Barya Pass, and the work pressure of the grain transportation team was even greater.

Then he looked at the barracks in the distance and asked suspiciously, "What is this Earl of Hicks thinking? Why has there been no movement for so long, could it be that he is planning some conspiracy?"

"I don't know, but Astolfo reported that the barracks has been in this state lately, there are no troop movements, no pre-war mobilizations, no even meetings, it's like it's a vacation, or ......"

Roland's voice paused, and he said with some solemnity: "Or what are they waiting for." ”

"Third Legion?" Leonidas said with a low voice, glaring at him.

"But isn't the Third Heavy Legion already diverted to His Highness?" retorted Ronnet.

"This Earl Hicks has such a strange temper that we really can't guess what he's thinking, and all we can do now is to be vigilant and guard against their surprise attack. Roland pinched his eyebrows, judging from the information he had gotten, this Earl of Hicks was really not a person to deal with.

The other day they had been attacking the walls like they had gone mad, and now there was no movement, and none of them could figure out what was going on in his mind.

It's just that what Roland didn't know was that the Earl of Hicks he was talking about was losing his temper in the barracks at this time.

Because the person he sent to order Ivan to return had already returned, and what made him most angry was that the guard he led was actually shot by Ivan!

Before he could get close to Ivan's army, he was shot by the other side, and it was a knight-level powerhouse who did it.

The two great knights he had sent were also angrily evacuated under the pressure of thousands of troops, and as they were leaving, they brought back the body of the mortal guard, which was now in Hicks' tent.

Hicks was furious precisely because he saw the corpse, and he shot an arrow right in the middle of the eyebrow, which in his opinion was clearly a deliberate demonstration.

"I want him to die, definitely!"

Count Hicks walked up and down the tent in a rage, and everything that could be dropped in the tent had been thrown to the ground by him, and two great knights stood by with sinking faces, and the guards outside the tent trembled and frightened.

Hetty, who rushed to hear the news, also stood beside him with a pale face, looking at him worriedly.

"Don't be angry, Lord Earl, if you are angry, you will be cheaper for some people. Hetty stepped forward and gently tugged at his sleeve and softly reassured, but her voice was still a little weak.

At this time, she was the only one who could persuade the mad Earl Hicks.

But when Earl Hicks saw Hetty's severed arm, the anger in his heart became even more uncontrollable, but he still suppressed his anger, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm his expression gradually.

He looked at Hetty and said with some reproach, "Why don't you stay in your own place to recuperate from your injuries, and run out?"

"I'm afraid you've done something you shouldn't have done on the spur of the moment. ”

Hetty whispered, but he was still a little annoyed in his heart, he didn't expect that he hadn't stayed by his side for a few days, and he would have another conflict with the heir of the Creon family.

It doesn't even look like a skirmish.

"That kid is too deceitful!" said Earl Hicks, who saw his anger rising again.

"The Creon family is too powerful for us to offend, even if you win this breath here, but what about when you return to the kingdom?" Hetty asked Hicks at once.

In the end, Count Hicks still didn't respect Ivan because he was a junior, which made him feel very humiliated.

If it were replaced by Marquis Bode, maybe he wouldn't dare to say anything.
