The corpses of the aborigines stretched a few hundred meters away, and finally, under the order of Li Ang, the warriors stopped the pursuit and turned back to the vicinity of the gentle slope, which was considered to have ended the battle that lasted only a few dozen minutes.

In all, more than 30 people were slightly wounded in the battle, most of them new recruits, and at this slight cost, almost 400 aborigines were wiped out, and the results can be described as brilliant.

After a brief clean-up of the battlefield, Campbell's armed forces and the Markburg soldiers of the Border Guard converged and prepared to return to the Lord's Manor.

Luthor wanted to bring only twenty soldiers to the manor party, and the rest of the soldiers would return to the fortress the same way, so that in case of another aboriginal invasion in a short time, he could delay a little, otherwise he would not be able to cope with the situation with only the twenty soldiers and some of the logistics personnel who remained at Fort Mark.

However, when he said what he thought, and then looked at his soldiers, he made a mistake, although the soldiers were waiting for the commander's assignment with solemn expressions, but they could see from their eyes that they were still eager for the lord's invitation.

In fact, Luthor didn't want to disappoint these excellent soldiers, so he was obviously hesitant.

"You don't have to leave some people behind," Leon whispered in his ear, "It will take at least half a day for the aborigines to bring back the news of this fiasco, not to mention that even if there are any special circumstances, it will not take two hours for Markburg to go back and forth to the manor, so it is not a big problem." ”

Luthor pondered for a moment, finally agreeing with the young man's statement, and except for sending a soldier back to report the news, the rest of the men set off with the manor convoy.

After several battles side by side. The relationship between the soldiers of Fort Mark's and the lord's side had become quite familiar, so the order received an enthusiastic response from everyone.

Luthor was invited to the first carriage and sat side by side with Leon. The ordinary soldiers on both sides consciously avoided these two leaders and crowded into the carriage behind, so in addition to them were several officers and some more important figures such as Caterina and Irene.

The atmosphere in the car was much more relaxed than when he came, and although Luthor habitually maintained a straight sitting position, he had a smile on his face, watching the officers and Leon's companions talk merrily.

After a moment, he turned his head and whispered, "Ten days at most." I'm leaving Campbell. ”

Leon was stunned, he had heard Luthor say that he would leave, but there was no news for so long. So I forgot about it, and when I heard the other party mention it, I couldn't help but say, "Confirmed?"

Luthor nodded.

"And where will you go next?" asked Leon.

Although he didn't want Luther, who was close to him, to leave Campbell, it was a transfer of the Border Guard. And it should be a level up. So Li Ang was still happy for this elder.

"I'll go back to Chester and then stay there for ten or twenty days until the appointment is officially issued before I take up my new post," Luthor said, "It could be some border fortress west of the kingdom, but it wasn't necessarily. ”

"Or go to the border fortress, then you should be promoted to commander, right?" said Leon with a smile.

"It's up to the headquarters," Luthor smiled indifferently, "it's not about me, it's about who will take over my position with the Commander in Markburg." ”

"You both want to go?" said Li Ang, frowning slightly.

"Yes. The Commander had not been back since he was transferred from his mission by order, and I later learned that he had been appointed to his post a few days ago. So this time, two people were transferred directly from the headquarters to serve as the chief and deputy commander of Fort Mark. ”

"I've got some information that the man who was scheduled to be the commander was Watson, who had served as deputy commander at the Tansandra fort in the north, and then was transferred to the headquarters and had been in charge of logistics. ”

"The other is Judd, who was transferred from the Grey Fort to the headquarters as a patrol officer just over a year ago, and this time he was promoted to deputy commander of Fort Mark. ”

The deputy commander glanced sideways at the young man who was listening carefully, and then said, "It is said that these two people have a good relationship with that big man, so you have to be careful. ”

Leon knew that the "big man" that the other party was talking about was none other than Gruth, the commander of the border guard. When Duncan was tried by a military court, because of his grandfather's interference, he had a grudge with Gruss, who was the captain of the Second Army at the time, and now that his grandfather has died, this Grus is already one of the highest levels of the border guard, only below the chief captain and deputy captain, and is an absolute real power figure.

The indifference of Fort Edmond in Campbell to the aborigines should have come from the instructions of Gruss, and this time the border guard gave Fort Mark's a big change of guard, which must be because Leon seriously injured the deputy commander of Fort Edburg last time, so he wanted to use the normal transfer on the surface to retaliate secretly.

"Thank you for the reminder, Uncle Luther," Leon said with a smile as he looked at the gray-haired elder, "but you are wrong, they should be careful." ”

Leon has always had a contemptuous attitude towards such a person who does not hesitate to allow foreign enemies to invade the border for the sake of personal vendetta in order to publicize personal vendettas, and he is still in a high position, although a person like Gruss can bring him some practical trouble in the short term, but in the long run...... Sooner or later, one day it will be nailed to the pillar of shame.

Of course, if no one nails it, Leon is willing to do it himself.

Hearing Li Ang's words, Luthor looked at the young man's expression seriously, confirmed that he was serious, and couldn't help but say: "Don't mess around, that's the border guard, the regular army of the kingdom, even the nobles on the ground can't deal with them privately, not to mention that you don't have the identity of a border count now, doing so will bring you a lot of trouble." ”

"Bear with me, I'll look for a relationship when I go to the royal capital......," Luthor muttered for a moment, still deciding to tell the young man about his efforts, "Lord Sampras, the chief captain, is closer to the Prince of Wales, and one of my old superiors is now the vice-captain of the prince's immediate guard, I think...... If he were to help me talk about it, Gruth wouldn't have dared to go too far. ”

"You know, His Majesty isn't doing well," said Luther, lowering his voice, "and the Prince of Wales is the one with the best reputation among the favourites, and his words are beginning to carry more weight than ever." ”

Leon could see that Luthor was a relatively upright man, who seemed to have some resemblance to his grandfather's personality, and that such a person could find a relationship for him...... It's really not easy.

The young man was silent for a moment, then raised his head to look into the other's eyes and said, "Uncle Luther, thank you for your attention, but ...... You don't have to bother with that. ”

"Because it's not worth it," Leon said seriously, "and I won't tolerate having a presence around me that threatens me at any time." ”

"Originally, there was only one in Edburg, and I saw that you only taught them a lesson once, but now it has become two, and you have left, so I will not let them continue like this. ”

Seeing that Luthor wanted to speak, Leon shook his head and said, "You know the current situation of the kingdom, in this situation, he does not do his duty, but puts his mind on how to deal with a hero who has made countless sacrifices to the kingdom, just for the original personal grudge, and his intentions can be described as extremely shameless. ”

"If he can do this now, he will not do something more insidious in the future," Leon said softly, "For our country, he is a cancer attached to the trunk of a tree, relying on the power given to him by His Majesty the King, but injecting poison into the rhizome of this kingdom. ”

"So I'm going to get him out, and even if I can't do it now, I'll do it someday. ”

Luthor listened quietly to the young man's words, and his heart was filled with infinite emotion. He suddenly felt that he was indeed old, without the sharpness of his youth, and he felt constrained in everything he did.

And a young man like Leon himself carries a new breath, and the enthusiasm and vigor he has is what this aging country lacks, and Leon can achieve so much in such a short time...... Seems to verify some things as well.

"Well," a smile crossed Luther's face, "do what you think, and I'm sure I'll see that day." (To be continued......)
