Seeing Viscount Covenas fall to the ground obliquely, Leo did not step forward for the first time, but hesitated in his heart, but then decided to go over to see the situation, even if Viscount Covinas is probably not Leo's biological father, but after all, he also has the grace of nurturing, and he can be regarded as doing his filial piety for Leo who was replaced by himself in the past!

The Viscount's illness is an old disease, and he has long been riddled with illness, and he has been relying on the rare medicinal materials purchased at a high price in the family to continue his weak life over the years, but recently he has been hit by a series of bad news from Frank, and the ability to support himself to stop Frank, he has really exhausted the last trace of strength in his life.

Now Viscount Covinas was lying on the cold stone floor, his upper body was held in Frank's arms, his face was already gray and his breathing was weak, and he was about to lose his breath when he saw it.

At the last moment of his life, the viscount reluctantly spoke, and said angrily to Leo who walked to his side, "Leo...... Presumably...... As you've probably guessed, I'm actually ...... Not your real father, I know...... Didn't treat you well all these years...... I don't blame you for having a grudge in your heart, but ...... Even for the sake of raising you for so many years, please don't embarrass Frank anymore, after all...... After all, he is the only heir and the only hope of our Covinus family!"

After these few words, the viscount's complexion gradually became ruddy, and his words became much clearer, but Leo and Frank's hearts sank, which was obviously a phenomenon of returning to the light.

The Viscount turned his gaze back to Frank, who was holding him, and with great difficulty he raised his left hand, rubbing it against Frank's handsome brow. Frank felt the cold breath on his father's palm, and a stream of tears welled up in his eyes.

"Frank, my good son, I don't see the day when you will become famous, I hope you will carry on the tradition of our ancestors of the Covinus family, and do not insult the glory of the Covinus family...... Light!"

After spitting out the last word of light, Viscount Kovinas lost his breath and lowered his left hand, which was caressing Frank's face.

At this time, Frank was not as excited as he was for Leo before, but hugged his father's body tightly, and whispered tears of pain. Leo couldn't help but touch a few handfuls of tears on the side, patted Frank lightly on the shoulder, and after Frank recovered a little, he and Frank carried the viscount out of the Supervision Department and put him in the carriage when he came.

"Leo!" Frank carefully carried his father's body into the carriage, turned around and glared at Leo with a hint of anger and grief, and said, "Father's affairs are handled by me, the eldest son, you do not belong to the Covinus family, and the Covenus family will have nothing to do with you in the future!"

With that, Frank stepped into the carriage and drove it away, ignoring Leo. Frank's childish gambling behavior made Leo a little stunned, and he just watched him drive away.

However, Leo will no longer have anything to do with Frank, since Viscount Covinas personally admitted it, Leo has nothing to do with the Covinus family. Even the only trace of bond, Viscount Covenas, has passed away, and now Leo is no longer the second son of the Covenus family, but Baron Leo.

Thinking about it this way, Leo felt that his heart, which was originally heavy and depressed because of the death of the viscount, was slightly lighter, as if some shackles had been opened, and he only felt that from now on, the sky was high and the birds could fly and the sea could leap by leaping fish, and the world could be left to his own devices.

Maybe it was a complete break with the Covinus family, or maybe it was the death of the viscount that completely calmed Leo's impetuous heart because of the knighthood. He finally made up his mind to ignore the complicated relationships in the imperial capital, and was bent on returning to Haruna, a desert village on the northern border of the empire, a world that was completely his own.

Now that there is a decision, then the next step is naturally to prepare to leave the imperial capital, although you have to leave, but you can't just leave, there are many things to deal with in the imperial capital.

"Young Master, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if we really leave like this, then whether it is Crown Prince Raymond or the Hou Dang ascending the throne, there will be no benefit for us. Ney is still unwilling to withdraw from the whirlpool of the battle for imperial power, and is bent on fighting for a share of the dragon's work.

"Since Ney wants to stay so much, then you should continue to stay in the imperial capital!" Leo said quietly.

Hearing Leo say this, the Roman infantrymen, Greman, Little Tom and others who were preparing their outfits all focused their eyes on Ney's body, and even Feng Xifan's gloomy triangular eyes kept sweeping all over Ney's big holes.

"Uh, young master, don't get me wrong, I don't have two hearts, I just feel a little sorry, please don't misunderstand my loyalty!" Ney quickly explained.

"Hehe!" Leo chuckled, he was just deliberately scaring Ney, but now seeing Ney hurriedly explaining, he said with encouragement: "Don't worry! Ney! I will never doubt your loyalty, but our porcelain business in the imperial capital needs to be maintained, after all, the construction of the territory requires continuous investment, which depends on the porcelain business in the imperial capital, so I think you are the best person to stay in the imperial capital." As for the struggle for the throne you mentioned, in fact, you think too much, and the post-party will not be able to do anything at all. ”

Seeing that Ney was thoughtful, Leo continued: "It can be seen from the buildings in the palace that the emperors of all dynasties have a sense of crisis, so the current emperor His Majesty firmly grasps the military power in his hands, even if the Hou Party is powerful in government affairs, it has no ability to usurp the throne. Once His Majesty the Emperor returns to heaven, the military, under the supervision of the Senate and the Ministry of Supervision, will certainly continue to be loyal to Crown Prince Raymond, and it is only natural that Raymond will ascend to the throne at that time. ”

After appeasing Ney and making sure that the porcelain business in the imperial capital would not be affected, Leo led his subordinates to visit Crown Prince Raymond. Backed by Raymond's repeated efforts, Leo resolutely set out on his journey back to his fiefdom.

On this return trip, Leo and his party were very different from when they came, and with the help of sufficient funds provided by the porcelain business, Ney purchased several carriages, which greatly accelerated the march of the team and brought back many necessary supplies for the territory.

When Leo entered the northern realm and approached his territory, the Arena of the Gods, which had been hanging on his chest without moving, suddenly appeared in Leo's eyes.

Territory Survival Mission: Your territory is under attack by invaders

Victory Condition: Successfully repel the enemy and secure the lives of most of the people.

Failure Penalty: None

Completion Rewards: Rewards are distributed according to the battle situation, and if your performance can please a certain god, you will even receive the blessing of the god.

After seeing this task, Leo's face changed, and he shouted loudly: "Everyone speed up, our territory is in danger, we must rush back as soon as possible!"

Hearing Leo's order, the coachmen drove the carriage to speed up with their whips, and did not hesitate to rush to the village of Haruna as fast as they could.

With the help of the beggar army led by Og and Li Gan, the houses in the village were renovated, and a rough and sturdy wooden wall was built from logs transported from afar, providing the villagers with a sense of security. A straight avenue runs through the north and south of the village, leading directly to the trade road connecting the imperial capital, and in the porcelain workshop outside the village, the fire of the porcelain kiln is also non-stop day and night, and the fired ceramics fill the open space in the village, and the children and women are busy all day long to help dry, sort, and wipe the ceramics that can exchange food for them for a good life, and the whole village bursts out with vitality again.

But soon, the peaceful life is shattered by the continuous alarm bells, and the wanderers who have fled from the desert bring bad news to the village, losing the suppression of the desolate wolf tribe, and the goblin tribes of the badlands usher in the unbridled breeding scene, these aborigines of the wasteland are constantly migrating and multiplying like locusts, eating all the creatures they encounter in their path. Perhaps it was a goblin tribe that had tasted the sweetness of the attack on the Barony of Cullen before, but now they have turned their target to the relatively rich northern borders of the Human Empire, and the vanguard tribe is almost within the range of Haruna Village.

When Leo and the others returned to the vicinity of Haruna Village, they were greeted by a black wolf smoke, like a slender black pillar rising straight into the sky, clearly visible for miles in radius. If you have enough eyesight, you can vaguely see patches of blue-gray smoke steaming around the black pillar for a long time.

In a hurry, they drove the carriage over the last hill, and they couldn't help but gasp at the scene before them.

The round of log enclosure around the village of Haruna has been blackened by the flames, and one section has even been broken, and thousands of green goblins are swarming, like a tidal wave of attacks towards the breach of the wall, and a tall and sturdy figure can be seen faintly wielding a huge mace on the inside of the wall, hitting this green tide, and each blow can see a goblin being knocked away like a golf ball.

There are a few beggar soldiers on the wall who keep chopping and trying to climb over the goblins on the wall, but the number of those goblins is too large, although the beggar soldiers try their best to stop it, but there are always mistakes, and the wall is already in danger.

In the wasteland outside the village, the entire village was surrounded by dense nests of goblins, and countless goblins gathered around the fire to roast and chew food of unknown origin.
