Since Prince Raymond was welcomed into the city by a group of nobles led by the Marquis of Griffins, the news of the capture of the Grand Duke of the South spread throughout the city, and spread to all parts of the empire through different channels of the major nobles, and more and more people knew this exciting news.

As the closest city to the south. Since the citizens of Rien City learned of the Southern Rebellion, they have been in a panic all day long, for fear that when they wake up one day, the sky in Rien City has changed. Now, the Grand Duke of the South Wagner was captured alive by Prince Raymond, and people's hearts are really relieved, and they are even more grateful for Prince Raymond's praise. It didn't take long for Raymond, the third prince of the empire, to surpass the lord of the city, Marquis Griffins, in the city of Rien. As the real hero of this incident, Leo has been subconsciously forgotten aside.

For the Marquis of Griffins, although Prince Raymond is not the empress himself, he has always called him an uncle, and if the prince is tied up now, he may be able to say a few good words for himself in front of His Majesty the Emperor in the future. Even, if one day Prince Raymond can succeed to the throne, then the Marquis of Griffins can take advantage of it to soar.

For the nobles from all over the empire, the second son of a small viscount family, or a kid with a stigma and no right to inherit, actually climbed to the imperial prince, and made such a great contribution, it is really eye-catching and jealous, everyone tacitly ignores Leo's exploits, and vigorously spreads the feats of Prince Raymond, without mentioning the country boy.

For the citizens of Rien City, the Imperial Prince infiltrated the enemy territory and captured the Grand Duke of the South alone, this is the real hero, this is worth boasting about, as for that Leo, who is that? I have never heard of it!

Fortunately, Prince Raymond had already submitted the details of the incident to the imperial capital in advance, and even emphasized Leo's contributions, otherwise, I am afraid that Leo would have been thankless in vain. However, this was not very concerned for Leo, who was hiding in a tent in his private barracks and calculating the pleasure of his gods.

There were more than 1,200 points when he left Haruna Village, and he got more than 200 points for attacking the checkpoint on the way to the south to break the search team, and in the barracks of Grand Duke Wagner, Feng Xifan and Olix also got almost 200 points for their battles, and he was rewarded with 500 points for killing the captain of the personal guard by jumping over the ranks, and it cost 1,000 points for summoning the beggar army, and another 1,000 points for capturing the Grand Duke of Wagner alive, and another 500 points in the battle in which the beggar army defeated the pro-guard camp and sacrificed his life to drag the cavalry. After all the calculations, Leo found that his godly pleasure value had accumulated to more than 2,200 points, which was enough to summon the legion twice.

Wealth still needs to be sought in danger, and the pay and the gain are really proportional, and Leo is now simply happy to close his mouth. The beggar army is really a cost-effective legion, the fighting style is extremely fierce, and everyone can do farm work in peacetime, if it weren't for the high battle loss rate, it would be the most perfect legion.

Even the beggar army, which is not well-known in the history books, has such a high strength, so how majestic are the many legions that have left outstanding military exploits in the thousands of years of history of the earth?

Thinking of this, Leo's heart was on fire, but it was a pity that if he summoned the legion in the private barracks at this time, it was really difficult to explain where he came from. Leo had no choice but to suppress his excitement, until this moment, Leo could really settle down, with enough force now, Leo in his heart The sense of wandering in the other world gradually dissipated, replaced by the eagerness to return to Haruna Village to live a stable life.

"Leo, Leo, good news, good news!" Raymond yelled as he ran in from outside, oh, now I had to call him Prince Raymond.

"Raymond, don't worry, there's some good news to tell me slowly!" Leo asked, raising his eyebrows.

"An urgent magical message from the Imperial Capital, we have made a great contribution in the South, and my father will officially grant you the title of Baron!" Raymond said the news very dryly. This is indeed great news, so that Leo's face that has always been like a fossil can't help but show a hint of joy.

With a knighthood, others will no longer call Leo the second son of the Covinas family, but should be called by his first name and title: Baron Leo.

With the title, it means that Leo can stand on his own from now on, and he doesn't have to look at the face of the Kevinas family anymore, even if Frank is arrogant, he has to care about his status.

With the title, Haruna will rightfully become Leo's territory, although Haruna is located in the northern border desert and the conditions are harsh, Leo has already regarded Haruna as his real home.

"Leo, Leo, what's wrong with you!" Raymond on the side saw that he was a little distracted, and couldn't help but wake up Leo with a voice on the side.

"Oh, nothing, nothing, this good news makes me a little overjoyed!" Leo said to Raymond with a smile as the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

"Yes, I didn't expect my father to give the reward so happily this time, I thought I would be stopped by the queen again......" Raymond said and suddenly realized that this kind of palace affairs should not be publicized, so the more he talked, the quieter he became.

"That's right, my father ordered me to leave tomorrow to return to the imperial capital, and you will also go with me on the road, just to go to the imperial capital to receive the reward. Seeing that Leo looked at him a little strangely, Raymond knew that he had missed his mouth, and quickly changed the subject.

"Of course, we'll leave tomorrow. That's right, that ...... How will the Grand Duke of Wagner be handled?" Leo still admired Grand Duke Wagner very much in his heart, although he had to arrest him because of his different positions, but he really didn't want to see the heroes of Grand Duke Wagner being humiliated because of himself.

Raymond frowned lightly and said: "Archduke Wagner has been handed over to the care of Marquis Griffins, according to my father's will, it is to be used to force the remnants of the rebels in the south, Archduke Wagner has a great reputation in the southern provinces, presumably the rebels will definitely throw themselves into the trap." You can rest assured, even if the Marquis of Griffins is incompetent, he will not dare to go too far with Archduke Wagner. ”

"That's good, then I can rest assured that I can receive my reward!" Leo sighed in his heart, but there was nothing he could do about it at this time.

Early the next morning, Leo and Raymond left the city of Rien with Feng Xifan, Cahill and other retinues. On the top of a hill outside the private barracks in the north of the city, watching the carriage of Leo and the others disappear into the distance north along the trade route, Frank's face was cold and almost icy, and his gloomy and resentful eyes were even more chilling.

Rumors such as Prince Raymond's lone capture of the enemy, Leo's elite soldiers, and so on, were talked about by the private soldiers of the citizens in the streets and alleys of Lynn City, but as time passed, no one paid attention to them and slowly dissipated. But in the imperial capital, Prince Raymond and Leo have become a hot topic among aristocratic men and women in various party salons, the bored aristocratic women pay no less attention to these two teenagers than the star fans on the earth, thousands of deep girls are looking forward to Prince Raymond's favor, and even Leo, the waste of the imperial capital that was spurned by people in the past, has become hot, as if everyone has lost their memory overnight, no one mentions those old things, and everyone turns to praise the excellent tutors and ancient heritage of the Covenus family。

These days, Viscount Colin Covenas's heart is full of mixed feelings. His original intention was to let the family pour all their resources and energy into Frank, and Leo could stay in the desolate and dull small village on the border for such a dull life. But the reality did not go according to his ideas, and Frank, who was given high hopes by Colin, did not have any commendable achievements in the private barracks, but Leo Salted Fish, who was secretly calculated by Frank, turned over and became famous in one fell swoop.

From this incident, it can also be seen that Frank's heart is insufficient, and he only cares about his inheritance rights and does not threaten Leo, but he never thought that this kind of behavior would be criticized by outsiders as the truth of the discord of the Covinus family. Moreover, Leo has been relegated to a mountain village, but Frank is still reluctant, narrow-minded and selfish, so that Viscount Colin can't help but sigh.

Frank's various actions silently reminded Viscount Colin of his second son, Leo, who had made great contributions to the counterinsurgency. If it weren't for Leo's brilliant exploits, maybe Frank's performance would not be too bad, but now with Leo's comparison, it makes people feel that Frank really doesn't live up to his name. This momentum of the second son overpowering the eldest son may bring great glory and appreciation in the common family, but in the eyes of a long-standing family like Kovinas, it is the beginning of civil strife.

Whether Leo will complain about the things that were relegated to the deserted village before, and whether he will hold a grudge against Frank's secret plots, these are all things that Viscount Colin is worried about.

After taking a long breath, Viscount Colin leaned back straight, and the whole person fell into a high-backed velvet chair, the eldest son Frank's excellent magical talent, and the second son Leo's resolute and resolute temperament were all appreciated by Viscount Colin, but only one person could enjoy the inheritance of the title of viscount in the family.

After a few thoughts, Viscount Colin's hands tightened and he clenched his fists sharply, and his face clenched his teeth showed a determined expression. Then, Viscount Colin looked up and called Brown, who was standing outside the door of the study, in.

"Send someone to guard the gates of the city, and if Leo enters the city, tell him to go home at once, and I have something to look for him." Viscount Colin instructed Brown.

Hearing Viscount Colin's words, Brown looked up at Viscount Colin in some surprise, and after answering with a little hesitation, he quietly left the study with his head down, and a trace of cruelty and resentment quietly appeared on his drooping face.
