Chapter Ninety-Six: Admit Defeat

The cold wind of autumn swept through the empty square, rolling up a thick smell of blood, and no matter how warm the sun was, it could not match the coldness in the heart of the captain of the Dewar cavalry. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info looked around, and a group of cavalry companions he had brought with him had fallen off their horses, and blood was pouring out all over the bluestone ground.

The Cossack cavalry did not attack again, but lined up on the side of the square. At this time, the situation on the field has been decided, and the captain of the Duwar cavalry will have no power to return to heaven even if his fighting spirit is strong.

"Give up, you've proven your martial prowess!"

"Give up! If you keep going, you will die in vain, don't continue!"

Some sympathetic people in the audience outside the stadium shouted exhortation. The cavalry captain looked sideways at the people who were nervous about him, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist. His eyes were closed, and when he opened them again, the fighting spirit reappeared in his pupils, he tightened the leather armor on his body, released his right hand and clenched the war knife in his hand again, and gently stroked his partner who had been with him with his left hand. He also has his own pride, and the man on horseback is destined to die on horseback.

"Admit defeat! I admit defeat!" a crying voice rang out abruptly, and Baron Nadua wiped away his tears as he begged the Lord Priest to end the duel. Baron Dewar, who had a psychological breakdown, could no longer bear the blow, and it was his greatest hope at the moment to quickly end this duel that had cost him all face.

The cavalry captain turned his head to look at Baron Dewar in disbelief, as if he was shocked by Baron Dewar's decision, even if he never gave up, what if he fought to the death? What dignity, what loyalty, everything he and those cavalrymen did was as ridiculous as a clown, and all the sacrifices were not taken into account by Baron Dewar.

The battle spirit turned into a long sigh, and just when everyone thought that the cavalry captain had conceded defeat in accordance with Baron Dewar's words, he flipped the war knife in his hand and pulled it hard around his neck. In a burst of exclamations, the heavy body fell straight off the horse.

Baron Dewar watched in horror as his cavalry captain committed suicide in grief, and suddenly realized that he was wrong, really wrong, wrong.

"Ah~!" Baron Dewar hugged his head and cried without any image, his spirit at this time completely collapsed, the cavalry carefully cultivated by his family wealth died one by one, the war horse lost to the opponent, and even the remaining most loyal cavalry captain was forced to death by himself, everything in front of him made Baron Dewar realize his stupidity, but it was too late, everything was over.

Glancing contemptuously at Baron Dewar, who was hugging his head and crying, the chief priest of the Harvest Goddess Hall announced loudly: "The winner of the cavalry duel challenge is Baron Leo, and according to the content of the duel, Baron Leo will get all the war horses on Dewar's side as trophies!"

The people who were shocked by the cavalry captain's angry suicide erupted into a burst of cheers, and two thrilling duels in succession made everyone marvel at how wonderful this year's harvest festival was.

"Hmph!" snorted coldly, Viscount Rubin didn't even say a word about the scene, he ordered someone to carry Paul away with a black face, and for Baron Dewar, who was around him on weekdays, Viscount Rubin walked away with disdain, as if this kind of waste was simply disgusting to stay around.

After Viscount Rubin left, Viscount Brontë and Baron Duke looked at each other, and walked forward together to congratulate Leo on his victory in the duel, seemingly completely unconcerned about Miss Winnie, who was shy and worried beside Leo.

Before the Cossack cavalry showed amazing riding skills, Viscount Brontë was not optimistic about Leo, and it was difficult for a nobleman without roots to gain a firm foothold in the circle, which required the accumulation of several generations. But now that Leo has the back of the Holy Griffin Empire looming behind him, it's not the same.

The declining decline of the Varu Empire may not be experienced by the common people, but the nobles at the top of the empire, especially the big families, are deeply aware of it, and now it is a critical moment for the emperor to be old, the crown prince is standing up, and the latter party is in control of the government. At this time, if there is the protection of the powerful forces of other countries, then the situation will naturally be different, although the Holy Griffin Empire has been slandered by the countries of the mainland as a country with a fishy smell, but its strong military strength is something that no country can ignore.

Obviously, the nobles present were also aware of this. The nobles around Leo who came up to congratulate him surrounded him three times inside and three times outside, and he couldn't get out for a while.

From this moment on, Leo became a rising star in Silverstone.

......

The crisp sound of porcelain falling to the ground echoed in the empty mansion, and the maids and maids of the Milne family did not dare to make a sound. As soon as Viscount Rubin returned, he entered the study with a black face, and no one dared to touch his head at such a time.

"Leo, Leo Covenas, didn't you say that he had been proven not to be born to Viscount Covenas, uh, hadn't he been removed from the House of Covenas, how could there still be such elite cavalry following, what the hell was going on?" Viscount Rubin roared at a man who was trying to restrain his belly fat and bowed his head.

"Lord Archon, please calm your anger, the person around Leo has a very strange origin, and even the Imperial Inspectorate is quietly investigating his identity, how can we know?" the man looked up and explained with a bitter face, the fat-headed and big-eared appearance was definitely Martin who had been driven out of the territory by Leo.

"I've been in contact with the housekeeper of the Covinus family, and even when Viscount Covinas was alive, I didn't know where Leo's subordinates came from, and at that time, Viscount Covinas suspected that some big force in the empire was secretly supporting Leo. Martin said as he quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Martin's words calmed Viscount Rubin's angry mood a little, and after careful consideration for a long time, Viscount Rubin frowned and said: "No matter which family in the empire, the strength of that faction is probably under the supervision of the Imperial Supervision Department, and it is probably not easy to unconsciously come up with such strength, and it is impossible for the Imperial Supervision Department not to be able to touch any clues." Unless ......"

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Viscount Rubin and Viscount Rubin thought of a possibility.

"Unless...... Is there a force from another country intervening?" Under the guidance of Viscount Rubin, Martin also speculated a result that he could hardly believe.

"It's unlikely!" Martin said hesitantly, "It is said that Leo has lived in the imperial capital since he was a child, his qualifications are extremely dull, he has not passed three years of study in the magic academy, and even became the laughing stock of the imperial capital, how could foreign forces choose him?"

"Hmph, don't forget, if Leo is not Viscount Covenas's own son, then why does Viscount Covenas recognize him as his son, why did he raise him, where did he come from, whose child is it? All this is very suspicious!" Viscount Rubin threw out one question after another.
