For the barony, tonight is the most dangerous test, the Marquis of Sandi's two main battle warrior regiments quietly infiltrated the territory, and also rebelled against the Thorn Warrior Order, and more importantly, Count William also betrayed the Marquis of Samir, and set a deadly trap for Anthony, if it weren't for Sophia and these people, the barony would have been destroyed several times.

Now all that's left is to clean up the battlefield, although the enemy's sixth, seventh, and the thorny samurai who betrayed have become remnants, but the strength is there, the samurai of the barony are not even qualified to pursue, and there are only a few people who are qualified to chase and kill, Anthony has been very tired from maintaining the operation of the source force armor for a long time, and Federes is willing to take action, on the one hand, because the samurai of the mountain have threatened these people, and on the other hand, because there is some sympathy for Anthony, now that the battle is over, he will not waste his energy on those fleeing samurai.

As for Sophia, Dio and the others, needless to say, it's not their business anyway, just take it when you see it, only Eric of the Two-Headed Serpent Warrior Regiment insisted on pursuing the remnants of the enemy, but seeing that no one responded, he finally had to dismiss the idea.

The barony's warriors were responsible for cleaning the battlefield, while Dio and the others retreated to the castle, Federas said that he was a little tired and went directly to his room to rest, while Dio and the others couldn't sleep, the young man was already energetic and easy to feel, Raymond went to Gordon to tease his tongue, and Dio and Sophia also chatted until late.

The next day, Dio woke up early and went to find Sophia, with whom he had talked about the secret technique of derivation, but because it was too late, some questions had not yet been asked.

Pushing open the door, Dio saw that Fedeers was talking to Sophia in a low voice, Dio reached out and knocked on the door twice, and smiled: "Didn't bother you, did you?"

Sophia raised her head, and saw that it was Dio, Yingying stood up: "You came just in time, Fedez just talked about you, hehe......"

"Speaking of me?" Dior was stunned.

"It's a compliment to you. Sophia smiled: "Federas said that you are smart, witty, and have a big picture, and there is no limit to what you can achieve in the future." ”

"Anything else?" said Dio, grinning as he sat down in his chair.

"Hah...... What more do you want to hear?" said Sophia with a sneer.

"Say whatever I want to hear?" asked Dio.

"......" Sophia of course understood Dio's little calculation, she couldn't help but glance at Dio, and then glanced at Fedes, the meaning was very clear, Fedez is here, don't be serious.

Fedez looked at Dio and Sophia with a smile, he had recognized Dio's status for so long, and what he had just said was indeed what he was talking about. The first time he struck, he and Sophia didn't have much confidence to save the situation, but Dio knocked Duncan out of the rooftop, and the situation was reversed in an instant. When he shot the second time, he had instructed Dio to stay in the castle to protect Sophia, but Dio did not stay in the castle as he said, although the warriors who surrounded Duncan were not killed by Dio, but it was because Sophia and Raymond made a move, and Dio, who rushed to the front first, was fully capable of protecting Duncan.

"That's right, Dio. Sophia said softly: "This place should not stay for a long time, Mr. Feders just said that the Marquis of Shandi is a person who will be revenged, and the two main battle warrior regiments have been disabled, he will definitely not bear it, and may even draw warriors from the front line, Dio, what do you think?"

"I listen to you. "But it would be better to tell Antony of Monsieur Federes's judgment, she ......," said Theo.

"You can see that you have a crush on her. Sophia said.

"She's a true samurai. Theo said.

"Well, I'll find a chance to talk to her. Sophia thought for a moment: "Gordon has just been injured, we will have to stay here for at least two days, the Marquis of Shandi can't react so quickly, there shouldn't be danger." ”

"Good. Dio nodded.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside, and Sophia said, "Please come in." ”

The door opened, and Anthony, who was sitting in a chair, was pushed in by the maid, who glanced around and smiled, "You're all here." ”

"Lady Anthony, is there something wrong?" asked Sophia.

Anthony hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Eric has already sent a warrior to the Marquis to report this great victory, if nothing else, at most three or five days, the envoy of the Marquis of Samr will arrive, and Eric also wrote your name in the letter, he admires you very much, hehe...... How many days will you stay here?"

Dio and Sophia looked at each other and asked, "Why did he put our names on it?"

Anthony's expression became even more hesitant, and after a long while, she smiled bitterly: "You were there yesterday, didn't you see it?" Duncan suspected that the Two-Headed Serpent Order had defected, and refused to allow them to enter the castle, and the result was ...... The losses of the Two-Headed Serpent Order were very large, and Eric was resentful, he was very dissatisfied with Duncan and did not want Duncan to monopolize the credit. ”

"Earl William was killed in a mutiny, but he gave up a good position. Dio said: "Even if Eric makes trouble for Duncan, it can't stop Duncan's promotion, right?"

"That's right......" Anthony said leisurely.

"Then it should be called Earl Duncan?" Sophia smiled: "I'm here to congratulate the two of you first, if according to the normal order, Duncan has to be promoted to viscount first, then keep his current fief, and then the next is the earl, this is indeed an excellent opportunity." Moreover, if it was before, there would definitely be people who stood up against the promotion of a baron to the rank of earl, but now there will be no one to oppose it, this position is too dangerous, Earl William has rebelled, what about the other earls? Will they fight side by side with the Marquis of Samr?" Sophia is hinting to Anthony that the counts chose to betray Samr because Samr was forced out of breath by the mountain in the battle situation and was already at a disadvantage, and this victory could not affect the entire battle situation, so this count's position was meaningless.

"Thank you, Sophia. Anthony smiled reluctantly, Sophia was in vain, Anthony was in a trance at the moment, and she didn't understand at all.

"Duncan must be excited now, right?" asked Dio.

"Well, he didn't rest last night and has been busy. Anthony glanced at Dio, the word 'excited' seemed to be derogatory, and she didn't quite understand what Dio meant.

"Anthony, let's be honest. Dio said: "Don't let Duncan mess around anymore, just now Mr. Fedeers said that Shandi will definitely retaliate, and your best choice is to leave the barony!"

"Impossible. Anthony shook her head: "Duncan has been waiting for this day for a long time, how could he give up the territory." ”

Sophia and Dio were stunned at the same time, and for a moment, Dio couldn't help but say: "If you lose your life, what's the point of the territory?"

"Isn't there still me? Anthony smiled, but her smile was a little listless, similar to yesterday's momentum.

"There are a total of three martial artists under Shan Di's command. Fedeers raised three fingers and said lightly, "It's three!"

Anthony was silent, and for a moment, she deliberately changed the topic: "I asked you just now that you would stay here for a few days, it was a good intention, Eric has expanded your strength a little, and Samel's men are withering, he will definitely send an envoy to come and invite you to join when he hears that there is such a powerful adventurer as you." ”

"We're not used to working for others. Theo said.

"I'm afraid...... It's not up to you to decide. Anthony smiled bitterly: "If you want to join the Marquis of Samr, just let me say nothing, if you don't want to join, it's better to leave early, the battle is getting more and more difficult, and the Marquis of Samr's temper is getting more and more irritable, he will find a way to keep yours, even at the cost of violence." ”

"Such a person...... Can you still have faith in him?" said Theo.

"So what?" Anthony asked rhetorically, "This castle was built by me and Duncan with my own hands, and I didn't fight for the Marquis of Samir, but to protect my and Duncan's home." ”

Neither Dio nor Sophia knew what to say, and it was clear that it was not Anthony who was unwilling to give up, but Duncan.

"Have you made a decision?" Anthony asked slowly, "However, I have a piece of advice, Samuel is not a good ruler, neither is Shandi, this war has nothing to do with you, and you really don't need to stay." ”

"We will leave in two days. Sophia said.

"That's good. Anthony breathed a sigh of relief: "By the way, Sophia, you have a few carts of crystal ore in your fleet, don't you? ”

"What's the use of those crystals you want?" Sophia said in amazement.

"After all, we won the war, and we have to celebrate after all, and decorating the castle with crystals can add a little more festive atmosphere. Anthony smiled.

Sophia looked at Anthony for a moment, and suddenly understood Anthony's intentions, the speed of the convoy was slow, because of those carts of crystal ore, Anthony wanted them to set off lightly and leave this land of right and wrong early.

"Okay. Sophia nodded and said, "I'll give you a discount on the price." ”

"That's it. Anthony waved her hand and motioned for the maid to turn her chair, but just as she was about to go out, she suddenly turned around and said slowly, "Thank you...... My friend, if it were possible, I wish you would come to my castle again, and I will do everything I can to entertain you, for now...... Time is running out. ”

"It's a pity. Sophia said, "We would have liked to stay a few more days......

"yes, that's a shame. Anthony smiled, her gaze slowly swept over Dio and the others, then turned her head, and the next moment, the maid had pushed Anthony up the corridor.

"Do you see?" Sophia whispered, "in her eyes...... There is a taste of farewell. ”

"But that's all we can help. Theo said.
