At dawn, the eastern front was filled with smoke and dust, and here the soldiers of the Duchy of Lion gathered the bodies of their comrades, digging several large pits in the distance to bury them and avoid the plague.

As far as the eye could see, the entire battlefield was covered in blood and corpses, and groups of captives were transported in shackles to the rear of the soldiers, who would become slaves, sold to the slave market, or exhausted to death in the mines.

The soldiers of the victorious Duchy of Lion were not excited or happy, their faces were numb and sad.

Maybe the people who talked and laughed with them before can't talk anymore now, and I don't know how many families have been broken in this war.

"Have we counted our casualties?" asked Grand Duke Cameron as he sat down on his throne after taking a shower in the camp of the Duchy of Lion, far from the battlefield.

His expression was serious, his armor had been taken off, his beard and hair were meticulously groomed, and he had changed into a gorgeous robe that he usually wore.

The outcome of this battle was crucial to whether he could continue the offensive with his army, and with the defective Lopez nobles, he had the confidence to break through the easternmost city of Lopez, Garden.

"Grand Duke, the number of dead and wounded soldiers we brought out this time has reached more than 7,000, and the number of dead and wounded of the defective Lopez aristocratic army has reached more than 10,000. The next man in armor bowed his head and reported.

"How many people are left in our army. ”

"With the addition of the new army, we still have more than 40,000 soldiers. "This time, nearly 30,000 soldiers of the nobles of the Lopez Kingdom defected, giving Count David a heavy blow.

"More than 14,000 enemy troops were captured, nearly 20,000 were killed on the battlefield, and the rest fled to the city of Garden. ”

"There are 8,000 garrisons directly under the royal family in Garden, and these people are the elite of several brutal wars, and our soldiers will suffer greatly against them. Grand Duke Cameron said worriedly.

He once followed King Lopez on his expeditions, so he naturally knew the details of these armies.

"But we have an army of 40,000!" his subordinate said confidently.

The biggest enemy of the three eastern counties has been solved, and they have completely disintegrated this aristocratic army, and the remaining troops stationed in the three counties are scattered in the east and can hardly resist their footsteps.

The three eastern counties of Lopez are already within reach.

"But we must take all the towns in the east with minimal casualties. ”

"Otherwise, we won't be able to resist Lopez's comeback. Grand Duke Cameron looked in the direction of Lopez Royal City.

He couldn't understand why Asa Lake was facing Phil Lopezhu.

His strength is not inferior to this group of new aristocratic interest groups.

Although I don't know what this military wizard thinks, Grand Duke Cameron is still wary of him, and as mentioned before, in the entire Lopez Kingdom, he is only afraid of two people.

The recurrence of an old wound seriously injured the dying King Lopez, and the mild-mannered war falcon Asa Lake.

"Order to speed up the cleaning of the battlefield, we will send troops to Garden City early tomorrow morning!"

Grand Duke Cameron sat there with his brows furrowed after giving the order, the siege battle was bound to cause huge losses, catapults might smash the walls of some small towns, but it had little effect on the walls of Garden City, and could only play a role in suppressing the enemy city wall garrison.

So he needed to think of a better way to break through the city.

"Are you ready?"

"Ready. ”

"Relax, don't be nervous. ”

"Then I'm coming!"

"Come on!"

In the castle garden, where the snow had been swept away, Jason and Villelet stood in warrior uniforms and practice swords.

Ronnet and the old butler stood on the sidelines and watched the battle, and if they found any danger, they would not hesitate to stop it.

After Villette said yes, her smiling eyes immediately became calm and solemn, although she did not fight often, she never despised her opponent.

Gripping the black wood sword in his hand, he moved slowly with steps, looking for Jason's flaws.

Jason stood still, turning around as Villewlett moved, intending to adapt to the changes without knowing his opponent yet.

"Why don't you make a move?" Wellett found that Jason's defense was very tight, and he couldn't find a breakthrough in a short time, so he planned to verbally harass him.

"Ladies first. Jason smiled lightly and said that he was not fooled.

"Hmph. "Wellett's nose wrinkled, cute and cute.

"Lord Marquis's basic swordsmanship is very solid. The old butler who was watching the game sighed.

How many of today's young people can practice this simple basic swordsmanship in a down-to-earth manner? Most of them spend a lot of money to buy some famous swordsmanship, which is very ambitious in his eyes.

"Adults are talented, even if they are basic swordsmanship, they can also worship those so-called pride of heaven. Ronnat was expressionless, staring at the arena tightly, and said flatly.

You're welcome......

The corners of the old housekeeper's eyes twitched, although he admitted that his family was extraordinarily talented, but there was still a gap between him and those real heavenly pride, after all, he couldn't awaken extraordinary power.

"Do you guess that the Marquis is extraordinarily powerful, or is my young lady superior?" said the old butler with a smile, he had grown up under his watch, and he was emotionally like his granddaughter, and he did not want to be compared.

"Adults will win. Lonnat's eyes were fanatical, he thought for a moment, the two have their own strengths, although Jason has a short cultivation time, but Lancelot's previous devil training is not in vain, Willett is a big lady, she definitely didn't suffer much, but she has extraordinary strength.

Although it seems that Jason has a disadvantage in this battle, Ronnet still chooses to believe in Jason's ability without question.

Blind loyalty, the old butler sighed in his heart, this kind of foolish and loyal subordinate is a luxury for every superior, let alone a powerful subordinate like Lang Nater.

While the two were talking, the two exchanged several times in the field, all of which were tentative attacks launched by Willett, she was very calm, did not feel impulsive because of Jason's tight defense, and every attack was a missed blow and immediately retreated.

If she doesn't have the opportunity to extend her gains, she won't go all out.

Her hands were wrapped in light blue energy, and according to the previous agreement, she only increased her physical strength, not her lethality.

"It's not a big man's style to only defend and not attack. Violet laughed and teased.

She didn't believe it, he could bear it in the face of this provocation.

Sure enough, Jason raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and the long sword in his hand pressed down slightly, ready to attack.

Jason would never be fooled if the enemy said this, but he couldn't bear to be teased like this by a woman, mainly because this woman was the one he put on the list of candidates for the Marquise.

But at this moment......

"The side quest is released, let's teach the woman in front of you a hard lesson!"

Jason's expression was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, and the movements of his hands followed.

Willett's eyes lit up on the other side, and the opportunity came!
