It was not until the afternoon that Gray and his party, with only more than two hundred men left, returned to the castle.

The corpses of the war dead were placed, and then the various noble families who participated in the war were rewarded according to the number of enemies killed.

Among them, the Kiplin family received the most rewards, with a total of 1500 gold coins.

This is another baronial family in the territory, in addition to the Ricardo family, this baronial family is not sociable, but the family nobles and soldiers are all good at war, and can be called the first general among the nobles of the Fergus family.

In this territorial battle, Kiprin killed 57 enemy cavalrymen, the most enemy cavalry killed by the Fergus family.

This was followed by the Ricardo, who killed 35 enemy cavalrymen and received a reward of 1,000 gold.

After that, the other six lord families received gold coins ranging from 300 to 500 each.

Even the reward directly belonging to the cavalry of the Fergus family and the death pension, the Fergus family spent a full 5,000 gold coins for this reward, which is almost equivalent to half a year's tax income of the Fergus family.

The Fergus family, which has 50,000 gold coins plus compensation for all the property of the Heck family, is now wealthy, so naturally they will not treat the nobles and soldiers who participated in the war badly in terms of rewards.

The conversion of the Heck family's property has not yet been finally discounted, and a special person has been left to count the discount in Viscount Oliver, and I believe that the statistical results will come out soon.

Then came the celebration banquet, a grand celebration banquet of more than 200 people, which was held in the approaching night.

The chef of the castle showed his superb cooking skills, serving exquisite dishes to the nobles and nobles who had returned from the battle, and the nobles and nobles were holding transparent crystal glasses filled with red wine, touting each other for today's victory.

Even ordinary cavalrymen can enjoy some delicacies and precious ales that are difficult to eat in ordinary times.

In a world where food production is not well developed, wine made from grain is very precious.

Although I occasionally think of my teammates who died in battle, I only sigh slightly.

Death in battle is the belonging of cavalry, they enjoy the better treatment provided by the nobles than ordinary civilians, and all they have to do is to fight for the nobles with their lives.

Moreover, the family of every cavalryman who died in the battle will receive a large pension, which relieves them of worries, although they die in battle, but at least their family can get a lot of money.

"Master Gray, I toast you!"

"Master Gray, toast to your heroic performance on the battlefield today!"

At the celebration banquet, Gray was toasted by a group of noble children one after another, and he did not forget to praise Gray a few words while toasting.

Although there are many exaggerations, Gray's combat performance today is indeed remarkable, and for those who are on the battlefield for the first time, the performance can be described as excellent.

Of course, with the aristocratic eight-sided character, he naturally will not snub Bernal and Ellis, Bernard's performance is obvious to all, because it is not the first time to experience actual combat, and his performance is even better than Gray.

As for Ellis, although his performance was unsatisfactory, he suddenly smiled under the deliberate flattery of these noble children.

Throughout the celebration banquet, Gray has always had a slight face, and the toast is not refused, and when there is no toast, he sweeps the food on the table to his heart's content.

Usually, in order not to behave too abnormally, Gray tries to suppress his appetite, but now at this celebration banquet, there are many delicacies, so he simply lets go of eating.

The feast didn't end until late at night, and after a bath, Gray, who was refreshed, returned to his bedroom, followed by his maid, Barbara.

Although he drank a lot of alcohol, he unexpectedly did not feel drunk, this kind of alcohol he did not have in his previous life.

I don't know if it's because this body drinks more than ordinary people, or because of that inexplicable metamorphosis.

"Brother, you're not hurt, are you?"

Pushing open the bedroom door, the oil lamp in the bedroom was on, and a young girl got up from the chair next to the desk by the window, trotted in front of Gray in a few steps, and looked at Gray carefully.

The girl has long black hair as smooth as silk, beautiful blue eyes, and wears a long light blue dress, which is none other than Sarah.

Today's celebration banquet was not suitable for the female dependents, she did not attend with Mrs. Milan and Caroline, although she knew that Gray had returned safely, but she did not know the specific situation of Gray.

"Don't worry, I'm not hurt!"

Touching the girl's head, Gray smiled.

Hearing the girl's heartfelt worry, Gray couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart, and a feeling of being cared for came to his heart.

Although the culprit behind his assassination has been discovered, he is no longer as wary of the people in the castle as he used to be.

Even because Bernal broke the assassination against him and found out who was behind it, even his senses for other people in the castle were much better, but what really cared about him the most was the girl in front of him.

"That's good, when fighting, remember to protect yourself, remember to be careful, remember to ......"

After carefully examining and confirming that Gray was not injured, Sarah breathed a sigh of relief, followed by a series of "preaching".

"Uh-huh, yes, got it!"

Gray shrugged and nodded helplessly.

He was an adult, and his body was two years older than a girl, but he felt upside down, as if he was the one who was being taken care of.

"Miss Sarah, don't worry, Young Master Gray is very powerful, I heard from other servants that Young Master Gray killed five enemies this time, and even Lord Gray praised him personally."

Next to her, Barbara, who was tall and dressed in a black and white maid outfit, said with a smile.

"Killed five enemies? Even my father praised it himself? ”

Sarah's face was filled with surprise and joy.

For people in this world, even for women, when they hear that their companions have killed their enemies, the first thing that comes to mind is not sympathy for the enemy, but rejoicing in the strength of their companions.

"Well, I heard the servant who served the food just now say that many noble children have toasted to Young Master Gray."

Barbara said with a smile on her face.

For her, as Gray's exclusive maid, the stronger Gray's strength and the more valued by Viscount Fergus, the better her status and treatment in the castle will be.

It can be said that it is both glory and loss, and now that Green is so favored by Viscount Fergus, she is naturally extremely happy.

……

In the middle of the night, there was still a light in Viscount Fergus's study, and Viscount Fergus, dressed in home clothes, sat at his desk, as if he was quietly contemplating, and seemed to be waiting for something.

Bang, bang, bang!

There was a soft knock on the door, and Viscount Fergus glanced in the direction of the door and spoke.

"Come in!"

The door to the study was pushed open, and a man entered, dressed in dark leather armor and a wide black cloak outside.

The canopy of the cloak was not covered over the head, revealing a white, beardless face.

"Lord Viscount!"

The man put his right hand on his chest and bent down to salute Viscount Fergus.

"Hmm."

Viscount Fergus nodded, there was no surprise on his face at the appearance of the man, obviously he had already known that the man would come.

"Lord Viscount, ...... did you summon me over?"

The man carefully observed Viscount Fergus and asked with a humble attitude.

"Go and destroy the Hecks."

Viscount Fergus said with a grim face, as if he was not talking about killing a family, but about killing a chicken and killing a duck.

And the Heck family is the lord family of the burly man who assassinated Gray, of course, this family now, because of the request of the Fergus family, has been stripped of the title of lord by the Oliver family.

"Yes."

The man didn't need to say respectfully, then turned and opened the door to the study.

The Oliver family has assassins who specialize in doing "dirty things" for themselves, and as the Fergus family, which is also a viscount family, there are naturally some of them.

Although the Heck family has been stripped of their titles, Viscount Fergus clearly did not let the family go.

If he could, he would definitely assassinate the children of the Oliver family, but after this territorial war, the Oliver family would inevitably protect their own children closely, and it would be difficult to find an opportunity to assassinate.
