Chapter 42: Inheritance

"Damn! Damn Southerners! Damn old Wagner dogs!Stupid, stubborn and reckless grizzly bears!" With a crisp sound of porcelain falling to the ground, the Marquis of Griffins smashed his usual favorite porcelain vase, smashed everything he could get hold of in the study, and cursed frantically.

When the Marquis of Griffins was tired of falling and scolding, Frank, who was quietly hiding in the corner of the study, straightened his clothes, walked slowly in front of the Marquis of Griffins, and said to the Marquis of Griffins, who was still panting: "Dear Marquis, those southerners are certainly hateful, but the most important thing for us now is how to explain to His Majesty the Emperor in the imperial capital! Don't forget, you are the commander-in-chief of the counterinsurgency army ordered by His Majesty, and losing the battle may cause you to lose the trust and favor of His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Frank's words seemed to stab the Marquis of Griffins in the sore spot, and the Marquis of Griffins said violently: "This defeat is all the fault of that grizzly bear, if he hadn't insisted on marching, how could he have been ambushed by the enemy, how could there be this defeat?!"

Seeing the manic appearance of the Marquis of Griffins, the corners of Frank's mouth curved slightly to show a smile, and continued to say to the Marquis of Griffins: "Lord Marquis, don't forget, although the Grizzly Legion was ambushed and defeated, at least they also fought a battle with the enemy, and the noble private soldiers you led fled without even touching the enemy's edge, according to the imperial wartime decree, it is a big sin to flee without a fight and abandon the friendly army without saving it!"

The Marquis of Griffins was about to go crazy after being repeatedly exposed by Frank, and he was about to vent his anger on Frank when he suddenly noticed the smile on Frank's face. Marquis Griffins' mid-air arm stopped, his eyes purred, and the anger on his face turned into a smile and said to Frank: "Haha! Master Frank, since you are still standing here and have not abandoned me, then you must have an idea! Rest assured, as long as you can help me through this difficult time, my Griffins is absolutely generous to my friends!"

Seeing that the Marquis of Griffins understood what he meant, Frank showed a sinister smile on his face, and lowered his voice and said to the Marquis of Griffins: "Since the Grizzly Legion has been defeated, then let him bear the black cauldron of this incident! Of course, in this matter, whether it is out of favor for you or the division of responsibility for the incident, Your Majesty will never punish you, and presumably all your Majesty's anger will be vented on the hapless Captain McShouner. ”

"Also, presumably McHuner is also writing a letter to His Majesty the Emperor to report this matter, this letter of yours must be fast, and it must be delivered to His Majesty before McShuner, so that with the preconceived notion of this letter, even if McTHughaugh frames you in his report to His Majesty, His Majesty will not believe him!"

"But, what if Your Majesty sends someone to investigate this matter? Our nobles' private barracks are full of chatter, and it is inevitable that someone will miss it!" said the Marquis of Griffins, with some emotion and some concern.

Frank secretly rolled his eyes, such an indecisive man could be appointed by His Majesty the Emperor as the commander of the counterinsurgency.

"Don't worry, according to what you said, our private battalion is not only not at fault, but has the merit of repelling the rebels and rescuing the friendly army, and those nobles can share some of the merits, but the private soldiers who are interested in profit can also be rewarded, so no one will be stupid enough to tell the truth. And what those grizzly bears say, I'm afraid no one will believe it!hahahaha!" Frank said as he looked up to the sky and smiled, and the Marquis of Griffins laughed alongside him, and the figures of the two men looked particularly hideous and terrifying in the light of the flickering candlelight.

In the Grizzly Legion barracks outside Ryan City, Commander McShunner had just inspected the defense of the re-stationed barracks, and after explaining that the battalion officers on duty should pay attention to the enemy's sneak attack, he went to the wounded barracks to visit the wounded soldiers in the ambush. Far away from the snow-white tent, Commander McSheaugh could hear the groans and roars of pain coming from the wounded barracks, which pierced McShouner's heart like a sharp knife.

Lifting the curtain of the tent, McHuner saw the tragic situation in the camp of wounded soldiers, a soldier with a severed arm was being caught by several sturdy men, and a military doctor was applying a handful of wound medicine to his severed limb, and then tightly strangled and bandaged his wound with a white cloth.

In this alpha continent from the medieval period of the earth, doctors are very rare, and priests who are good at restoring magic are worshiped highly, and it is impossible to waste their divine power for some soldiers, as for the water wood magician, if you want to cast magic that can heal injuries, you must at least have the level of an intermediate mage or above, in the Valu Empire, where magic resources are poor, such a magician is even rarer, I am afraid that even the Captain McShough himself may not be able to see it, let alone invite him to heal the soldiers.

Although the wounded barracks has been filled with painful wounded soldiers, it is not much compared to the entire Grizzly Bear Legion, most of the soldiers have been buried in the southern dense forest of Meirengou, and only a few can really come back alive.

Until Commander McShoughner left the wounded barracks and returned to his command camp, but his ears still seemed to be haunted by the painful moans of the wounded soldiers and the shouts of the soldiers in the dense forest.

"Damn, these bastard nobles!Bastard Griffins!If it weren't for your desire to be comfortable and stop your advance, if it weren't for your failure to save yourself and flee the battlefield, how could my bear cubs have suffered such a terrible loss, I want you to pay with blood!" Captain McShunner clenched his fists, the green tendons on the back of his hands burst out, his teeth gurgling, and a low, hateful roar came out of his throat! For the southern rebels who fought for their lives on the battlefield, Commander McHuner did not hate it so much, after all, the opposing sides fought each other, no matter who killed whom, it was a matter of course, and it was also the duty of the soldiers to die on the battlefield, but for the private battalion that escaped and could not be saved, McShoughner was full of anger and hatred.

After the commander of the McHuner Corps buried his head in the writing at his desk, he ordered the adjutant to immediately send someone to the imperial capital with an urgent military report in the army, he wanted the emperor to know the whole process, although he McHuner himself made the mistake of being overlooked, but even if he was punished himself, he would have to make the damned Marquis of Griffins pay.

Unfortunately, the loyal Commander McHuner did not know that the letter falsely accusing him had already been completed in the hands of the Marquis of Griffins and sent to the imperial capital as early as when he was inspecting the camp.

......

"It doesn't matter who you are! No matter what you've done before! From now on, as long as you can lay down your arms, then I can be blameless!"

After Lord William led the cavalry to catch up with Leo and the others, he did not attack immediately, but reined in his horse and slowly stayed behind Leo and the others, and shouted to persuade them to surrender.

The enemy has the Grand Duke of Wagner in his hands as a hostage to make Lord Wilhelm a rat trap, and at this time it is best to rescue him by force. As soon as Lord William opened his mouth, he promised to forgive Leo no matter what they did, and this move made Leo nod secretly, it seemed that this subordinate of the Grand Duke of Wagner was quite clever and did not act recklessly.

Leo did not immediately reply to Lord William, but Raymond next to him could not hold his breath and said to the Grand Duke of Wagner: "Your Excellency, this subordinate of yours seems to be very sympathetic to you! He is a talent! It is a pity that who would have thought that the former majestic Southern Grand Duke would now be reduced to such a state, which is really embarrassing!"

Since Lord William did not attack immediately, as long as the Grand Duke of Wagner was in hand, Raymond was not worried about the safety of his own people, so he laughed at the Grand Duke of Wagner.

Leo listened to Raymond's words, frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. The old Henry on the side knew the temper of the Grand Duke of Wagner, and when he heard this, he immediately secretly screamed that it was not good!

Old Henry knows very well that Wagner's most important thing is his own prestige and decency, and his words and deeds must conform to his aristocratic status, and Wagner's temper is stubborn and upright, and he can't tolerate half a grain of sand in his eyes.

As soon as Raymond's words fell, he saw that Grand Duke Wagner's face suddenly turned red and turned iron.

Grand Duke Wagner suddenly raised his head and shouted at Lord William in the distance: "William! I, the Grand Duke of the South, the Wagner family, have been guarding the southern provinces for generations, and we must not let others be humiliated. From now on, the title of Grand Duke of the South will be inherited by you, and you must uphold the last wishes of your ancestors! Remember the livelihood of all people in the south, and be proud of the glory of my Wagner family!"

Since he was captured by those exiles who disdained him and forgot to die, the proud personal guard camp was beaten to the ground and scattered, and now he has been reduced to a prisoner and humiliated in public in front of his son's subordinates, and maybe he will be sent to the imperial capital to be insulted by the mediocre emperor. At this moment, Grand Duke Wagner's heart was already full of thoughts and despair.

Hearing Archduke Wagner's shout, Lord William was shocked, his eyes were red and his eyes were full of tears, and he shouted in a sad voice: "No!

After all, William was raised by Archduke Wagner according to the expectations of the heir since he was a child, and he immediately restrained his emotions, wiped a handful of tears with his backhand, and replied loudly: "Yes! I swear in the name of the goddess of harvest that I will never live up to my father's expectations, never bully the weak, and never submit to the powerful!"

Behind Lord William, his cavalrymen dismounted and fell on one knee in their allegiance to Lord William.
