In the castle of the lord of Green Lake City, Lord Atlas Collins urgently convened a meeting, which was attended by all important people in Green Lake City, and Bagio was also invited by Lord Collins to attend the meeting. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"If that thug from Arhan Kaido really starts to trouble us in Lake City, we can't afford to show weakness easily!" said a young warrior with short blond hair, a handsome young man with short blond hair and a nobleman in Lake City, his name is Ruli Roman.

"I don't think we have the strength to fight against the Iron Thorn Tomb! we should prepare some tribute for Lord Arhan, I think Lord Arhan will forgive us. A fat-looking and greasy looking nobleman said.

"Forgive me, my daughter Meria was almost taken captive by the Iron Thorn Tombs!" screamed Lord Collins.

"Lord Collins, you must know that it is not a good idea to confront the Iron Thorn Tomb, there are already many city-states in the vicinity that have been captured by the Iron Thorn Tomb, so let's not be rash and hit the stone with an egg. A nobleman with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks said with a look of fear, it seems that among the military and political nobles of Green Lake City, many people are very afraid of Arhan Kaido, the lord of the Iron Thorn Tomb.

"There are not many soldiers, and then there are fine!" Roman raised his head and said arrogantly, which made many of the nobles present sigh and shake their heads.

"No matter how good you are, it's useless if you don't have many soldiers! What's more, we don't even have the talent here who can really lead them into battle!" the fat nobleman shouted angrily, which made Roman's face suddenly darken, obviously the other party didn't take Roman in his eyes, which made Roman very unhappy.

"You think I can't command a soldier in battle?" Roman roared.

"Lord Roman, you have never been to the battlefield before, and you are now able to sit here and talk to us thanks to your deceased father!" the nobleman with the sharp mouth and cheeks was very dissatisfied with Roman's attitude, and he said sarcastically, which made Roman even more angry.

"Okay, okay, Roman, I grew up watching him, he has a talent that is not inferior to his father, Roman is just inexperienced, it has nothing to do with talent. Lord Collins immediately came out and said in the round.

"But if we really start a war with the Iron Thorn Tomb, it will be a matter of life and death for our entire Green Lake City, such an important battle, how can you let us rest assured that the command will be handed over to Lord Roman!" said the fat nobleman again, which made Roman stand aside and raise his eyebrows at him, but the fat nobleman was still unmoved.

"Of course, of course, Roman is inexperienced, so this time I will hand over the command of the war to someone who really understands war. ā€

Lord Collins smiled slightly, it seemed that he had already decided on the candidate, which aroused the curiosity of everyone, even Roman, although he was bent on gaining command, he also wanted to see who the Lord of Collins was.

"Then my lord, who do you want to command the whole army? I can't guess anyone in our Green Lake City who can have such talent!" said the nobleman with the sharp beak and cheeks disdainfully.

"This person is our guest of honor in Lake City, Lord Bagio from the Midtown Federation!" Collins pointed to Bagio and said excitedly, which not only surprised many lords, but also made Bagio unexpected, Bagio looked at Lord Collins with a puzzled expression, hoping that he could give a reasonable explanation.

"Lord Baggio...... He looks like Roman-sama is about the same age......" the fat lord said with a frown, rather distrustful.

"Indeed, this Lord Baggio must be about my age, why does Lord Collins trust him so much?" Roman also showed a little displeasure, others thought he was young and inexperienced, but Lord Collins thought that an outsider as young as him had the talent to lead soldiers into battle.

"Oh, you don't even know it, this Lord Baggio is a graduate of the famous Federal Tactical Academy of the Midtown Federation, and he is also the most outstanding student of the cadet's class!" Lord Collins excitedly explained Baggio's affairs, which made Bagio feel very embarrassed, he wanted to dissuade Lord Collins, but he couldn't stop Lord Collins at all.

"Even if you are outstanding in the academy, you can't just say that Lord Baggio is capable of leading the troops!" said the nobleman with the sharp beak and cheeks, who was quite disdainful of this.

Everyone in the Midtown Federation knows that Bagio is a combat hero, and the victory of the Midtown Federation is inseparable from Lord Bagio's contribution, and even the sworn enemy of the Midtown Federation, General Ross Dapel, the famous general of the Cross Passage, is full of praise for Lord Baggio!"

Lord Collins continued to preach Bagio's deeds, which made Bagio really laugh and cry, obviously the truth of the truth is quite different from the current legend, but Baggio didn't bother to correct anything, just let Lord Collins continue to tout.

However, while Collins continued to tell the true and false deeds of Bagio, the other nobles also communicated with each other, and pointed at Baggio, Baggio shook his head silently in his heart, and he felt that it was difficult for him to get out.

After Lord Collins told Bagio's story, there were already many nobles who supported the decision to have Bagio lead the troops, but there were also a few nobles who still expressed concerns.

"No matter how powerful Lord Baggio is, he is also an outsider, how can we in Green Lake City let an outsider command our own soldiers!" the fat nobleman screamed, and the nobleman with the sharp mouth and cheeks, as well as many nobles, also felt that this was very reasonable, and began to support the opinion of the fat nobleman.

"Don't worry, ladies and gentlemen, Lord Baggio will soon cease to be an outsider, for I plan to marry my only daughter, Atlas Meria, to Lord Baggio after the war with the Iron Thorn Tomb is over!"

Lord Collins spoke amazingly, everyone present, including Baggio, was stunned, and the scene was discussed again, Bagio looked at Lord Collins blankly, and Lord Collins hinted at Baggio, what to say, etc., Baggio nodded lightly, and Roman, who was standing on the side, looked at Baggio with an angry face, looking extremely terrifying.

Because Lord Collins made an astonishing decision, the nobles present no longer had any objections, and Lord Collins announced on the spot that he had entrusted Bagio with a heavy responsibility, which made Baguio very embarrassed, but in order to save the face of Lord Collins, Bagio still reluctantly accepted this difficult task, after all, Lord Collins was still very good to him, and he didn't want to be too embarrassed.

After the meeting ended, Lord Collins called Baggio, and the two came to Lord Collins' study together, Lord Collins sat down on a comfortable sofa, he also motioned for Bagio to sit down and talk slowly, Baggio nodded, and sat down opposite Lord Collins.

"Lord Collins, what the hell is going on?" said Baggio, who really didn't want to take on such a big responsibility.

"Lord Baggio, the incident happened suddenly, please forgive me, I really need your help, not only me, but my daughter Melia also needs your help, if the people of the Iron Thorn Tomb invade Cuihu City, don't worry about me, my daughter will definitely end up miserable. ā€

Lord Collins had a worried look on his face, and Bagio sighed softly, it was normal for a father to love his child so much, and Bagio felt that he really couldn't refuse Lord Collins' kindness.

"I won't say anything about leading troops to fight, but my marriage to Melia will definitely not work! After the war, I will leave Lake City, and I need to go to the Free Frontier. Bagio was quite resolute about this, and Lord Collins also saw Baggio's insistence, and he knew that it would be difficult for him to convince Bagio, so Lord Collins just smiled bitterly.

"Don't worry, Lord Baggio, I just said that, I just hope to stabilize those nobles, and when the war is over, I will not be embarrassed for you. ā€

Lord Collins seems to be quite sensible, although Lord Collins has a bad reputation among the residents of Lake City, but Bagio feels that he is still a good person to get along with, after all, Bagio was also born in the power-oriented Midtown Federation, so he has seen too many people like Collins, and it is not surprising.

"Hopefully, you'll be able to keep your word. Bagio said softly, Lord Collins hastened to answer, and the two of them chatted a few more words, and Bagio retired, and he wanted to go to the tavern to talk to Anna about these things.

After leaving Collins' study, Bagio went straight to the tavern where Anna lived, and on the way, he met Meria, who was arguing with Roman about something, Bagio guessed that Roman was full of friendship with Melia, so he was unhappy about Lord Collins' decision, Bagio did not plan to come forward to explain, he had already decided in his heart that he would leave Lake City after the war, so Baggio didn't bother to explain anything, after all, Bagio felt that he was used to being misunderstood.

In the tavern, in Anna's bedroom, Bagio met Anna who was sitting on the edge of the bed reading and writing, Anna was always reading and writing like this, Baggio once asked Anna, and Anna smiled and told Bagio that he was composing a new tune, so Baggio was used to Anna's behavior.

"What's the matter? Are our war heroes about to go to a new round of war?" Anna saw Baggio enter the room, glanced up at him, and resumed her work, but Baggio felt that Anna's tone was full of mockery.

"I didn't do it voluntarily!" Baggio tried to explain.

"But you didn't refuse!" Anna looked up, glared at Baggio, and went about her business.

"Lord Collins is good to me, I can't refuse. Baggio scratched his head in embarrassment, but Anna was clearly not angry with him.

"Atlas Collins is not a good man, he is called the 'weeping banker', you know why!" Anna said coldly.

"The commoners don't like the aristocracy, so ......"

"You're a civilian now, too!" Anna yelled, and Baggio was stunned and speechless.

"What's the matter? Does the eldest young master from Zhongdu remember his former aristocratic life again?" Anna said mockingly, she didn't even look at Baggio, Bagio had known Anna for so long, this was the first time he had seen her with such an attitude.

"I'm sorry...... I'm really too proud......" Baggio bowed his head.

"You're not arrogant, you look down on these civilians from the bottom of your heart, I thought that you had completely changed your outlook in exile, it seems that I was wrong, if Baggio is just such a superficial person, then let's separate. ā€

Anna said coldly, Bagio once again felt that he still had a lot of fear for Anna, and the last time Bagio felt like this, it was in the Crow Passage.

"I wanted to refuse Lord Collins, but I didn't want to hurt Melia, she's a simple and kind girl. Baggio whispered.

"Hmph, then what? After the war is over, the two of you can get married, and then our great Baggio, the war hero Baggio, can live a noble life again?"

Anna's tone was still full of sarcasm, but Bagio didn't blame her, Bagio knew what his problem was, Anna pointed it out clearly, and Bagio admitted his stupidity.

"No, I've already told Lord Collins that we'll head to the Free Frontier as soon as the war is over. Bagio said decisively, and Baggio's words made Anna nod slightly.

"I hope so," Anna said softly......

Bagio suddenly realized that Anna seemed to know everything, Anna was really unfathomable, but Bagio knew that Anna had no malicious intentions, and he was still willing to give Anna the greatest trust, Bagio summed himself up very seriously at this time, why he subconsciously thought that commoners were unreasonable, and nobles were right.

Baggio, Baggio, it's too bad if you go on like this.

Baggio said to himself in his heart......
