"El... Kindness... I very much agree with you, Your Excellency. Gray watched Al continue, and he suddenly preemptively said, "But I have to interrupt you, because the soldiers' is coming to an end, and they will be disappointed if we don't show up again." ”

Al was stunned...

The knights were stunned.

Rena gave Gray a strange look, but then withdrew her gaze.

Gray didn't care about the reaction of everyone present, and he didn't care, when he withdrew his gaze from Al and scanned everyone, the knights had already put away their stunned expressions.

"I remember my knight instructor saying that celebrating a victory with the soldiers was a compulsory course for a commander. Gray said in a tone that bordered on a joke. He walked quickly to Hanks and patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, wait a minute, you're the main character, Knight Hanks." ”

Hanks was stunned, he had just come over there, and he really didn't want to go to the so-called revelry, because he felt that his own performance on the battlefield today was really terrible, and he felt that such a revelry was simply laughing at his incompetence.

However, he knew he couldn't get it right.

Knight Robert walked very slowly, he seemed to walk to Al's side by accident, and then nodded politely, "Baron Al, I personally agree with you, if you need help somewhat, I'm happy to help." ”

"Thanks, but I don't think I need help yet, huh—" Al replied politely, but he didn't know what to call him.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Robert, Robert Lee, the lieutenant of Knight Hanks. Robert saw Al's embarrassment and hurriedly introduced himself.

"Oh, it turned out to be you. Al had an impression of him, "Your command a few hours ago was great, really, I was on the watchtower in the rear, although I couldn't see your people, but your banner was very conspicuous, if the orcs didn't choose to retreat, you would probably annihilate that orc force at a very small cost, because you would have to complete the siege of them soon." ”

"It's all thanks to Knight Hanks. Robert smiled humbly, "And didn't the orcs slip away from my hand at last? I hope you're not laughing at me!"

"I didn't mean that, knight. Al said heartily, "I've really decided that your command is great. ”

Robert shook his head and didn't answer, then politely pointed to the door, signaling that he was leaving...

Eric was about to go over and talk to his friend, but Rena stopped him.

"Do you have any orders, dear baron. Eric asked cautiously.

Rena looked at El and said, "Send the entire scout squadron and let them scout the orc army along the river, I need to hear your report before dawn." ”

"No problem, ma'am, but before that I want to say a few words to Al, no problem, right?"

"This is your freedom, knight. Rena nodded nonchalantly, and walked out of the tent.

When Eric approached, Knight Robert had just left, and he looked at Knight Robert's back, "That's Knight Robert, a good knight, although a little sleek, but experienced in combat, he should have a higher status, but I heard that Viscount Cage doesn't treat this person very well." ”

"Don't underestimate the Viscount's eyes, haven't you noticed? Al had a smile on his face.

"You know, I hate to think. Eric grinned and played with the iron helmet in his hand, "Viscount Cage seems to care about your opinion, perhaps, he will summon you alone after the party." ”

"A nobleman who has quite a city government, but I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with. A hint of worry flashed across Al's face.

Eric said indifferently, "We only care about this war, and we don't care about anything else." ”

"I hope so. Al smiled.

-------

Only soldiers who participated in the battle could participate in the carnival, and it was carried out on a rotational basis.

That's fair, the soldiers of the other regiment won't complain, and in exchange for it, they'd rather be on guard and patrol now.

Gray's arrival made the soldiers a little restrained, but more excited, they never thought they would have the opportunity to sit around with their lord and drink good wine.

In fact, Gray especially likes to sit around the campfire and brag about his performance on the battlefield with his friends, which gives people a sense of debauchery freedom.

But unfortunately, Gray no longer enjoys that feeling, because the soldiers will subconsciously stop talking after his arrival, and then become cautious, as if the whole person is restrained by the big hand that has been invisible all along.

"Cheers to victory. Gray held his glass high, he needed beer to hide the bitterness in his heart.

Gray then said a few words and left, because a good commander would not waste his soldiers' precious rest time to satisfy his vanity.

Baron Tachia had already prepared a table not far from him, and the food on the table was not much different from that of the soldiers. In this way, the soldiers can feel the presence of their lord, but it will not make them too restrained.

"Cheers to today's victory. ”

Before the group sat down, Gray raised his glass again, the same beer, the same as the soldier's.

Most people knew that Gray had a habit of drinking beer, and that most of the knights present had been promoted by Gray from the army, so they were naturally no strangers to beer.

Al was a little unaccustomed, he drank slowly, as if he were tasting red wine, and he sat in the middle of the table, and no one on the left or right wanted to talk to him.

After a few glasses of wine, Hanks didn't know when he came to Al's side, and he burped Al's face very rudely, choking Al's eyebrows.

Before Al could speak, Hanks suddenly said, "Dear Baron Eyre, do you want me to help you?" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly reached out and held the base of the glass in Al's hand, and then lifted it up slightly, and said in his mouth, "Beer should be drunk like this, honorable Baron Al." ”

"Ahem, ahem!"

Al is caught off guard by Hanks' sudden drinking.

"Looks like our Baron El doesn't know how to drink yet," Hanks laughed, "I'm sorry to stain your oiled beard." ”

The knights' exaggerated expressions and Al's embarrassed look amused him.

"That's not what a knight should do, Hanks. Rena put down her knife and fork, "Besides, Baron El was recruited by me into the army, can I take this as your provocation?"

Rena spoke in a small voice, but it made the knights feel a sense of pressure, and their laughter came to an abrupt end.

Hanks didn't expect Rena to stand up and speak for Al, his smile suddenly became extremely embarrassing, he naturally didn't dare to challenge Rena's authority, because, everything he can have today is based on Reina's recommendation.

"Baron Rena, I don't think Knight Hanks meant to offend anyone, it's just an inconsequential joke. Robert Knight stood up and said with a smile.

"Is that so?" Reena didn't look at Robert, her eyes fixed on Hanks.

Hanks' eyelids twitched slightly unconsciously, and he lowered his head slightly, "Of course, this is an inconsequential joke, I didn't expect Baron El to drink beer." ”

"Knight Hanks, your joke is so special. Al had relented, "But it doesn't matter. ”

"Guys, now is the time to enjoy the victory and don't let the little things affect the mood. Gray also stood up, "Let's toast again and thank the Goddess for this victory." ”

Gray's words easily dissolved the last trace of embarrassment of everyone, and then followed Gray to drink the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"Hanks, you did well today, it was your bravery that made the orcs retreat. ”

As the crowd poured their wine again, Gray raised his glass again, "Let's toast to Hanks' valor." ”

"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Viscount. ”

Hanks bowed, he watched Rena's expression change cautiously, he was still worried about what had just happened, but Rena didn't pay attention to him, which couldn't help but make him breathe a sigh of relief.

"The title of knight is no longer worthy of your valor, well... Sir Hanks... How?"

Gray's words seemed to be joking, causing everyone present to subconsciously stop their movements, and then turned their heads to look at Hanks, and then turned their heads to look at Gray.

Hanks was stunned for a moment, he obviously couldn't believe it, but the real feeling told him that it was all true, he tried his best to control his emotions, and finally squeezed out a sentence: "Thank you for your trust, my family and I will keep my oath for generations." ”

Rena raised an eyebrow, staring at Hanks for a few seconds, then quietly retracting her gaze.

The knights of the other clans looked at Hanks with envy, especially Knight Robert, who unconsciously clenched his left hand, wanting to say a few words of congratulations, but couldn't say anything.

"However, you are no longer able to lead the hoplites in battle with your current injury, and your title should be matched by a new position, if you don't mind, be an assistant to Baron Reina, my military staff still needs manpower. Gray didn't care about the change in the expressions of everyone present, "What do you think of the hoplites letting Knight Robert lead first, Sir Hanks." ”

"This—" Hanks was startled, he lowered his head and didn't dare look at Gray, but he could feel Gray's gaze because his scalp was tingling now.

He subconsciously aimed at his left hand, but was it really because of his left hand?

"Of course, my lord, it is my pleasure. Hanks replied a few seconds later.

"So, Robert Knight should be okay, right?" Gray turned to look at Robert.

"Your will is mine, Lord Viscount. Robert was in ecstasy, he kept his head down, he didn't want others to see his expression now.

Al looked at Gray who was sitting on the main seat, and then at Rena, Hanks, Robert and the others, and a trace of cold sweat broke out in his palms.
