That's very badass

Chapter 90 Closing
After hearing Viscount Whitnet's order, Roland waited for a while before giving the same order to stop.

In this moment alone, the Huinite family suffered dozens more casualties. However, the soldiers of the Huinite family only dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. After a short battle, he discovered that both the skills and the formation of the opponent were They were completely suppressed.

Even if they were taken advantage of, they were unwilling to fight back, and only hoped to end this desperate battle as soon as possible.

Roland was not afraid of Duke Osborne's blame. In the final analysis, this incident was caused by Master Marico, and it was also because Viscount Whinette had no idea of ​​​​peace talks and took the initiative to attack. He was only forced to defend.

As the armistice order was issued, the soldiers from both sides slowly distanced themselves. Only Roland's soldiers held up their shields to be on guard, while the Whinette family's soldiers quickly withdrew as if facing some ferocious beast. Same.

This made Viscount Whitnet's face extremely ugly. If he hadn't considered the occasion, such a soldier would have been scolded bloody by him.

As the two sides separated, more than 200 corpses in the center of the battlefield were slowly revealed. They died in different ways, but they were all silent.

Because the soldiers of the Whitney family all wore standard armor, it was easy to tell that most of them belonged to the Whitney family, and only a few of them belonged to Roland.

As far as this is concerned, both sides will put the most elite soldiers who are also wearing the best armor at the forefront, in an attempt to gain an advantage from the beginning.Otherwise, just over ten minutes of fighting would only cause more casualties.

There was no sound in the entire battlefield, only the deliberately suppressed gasps of the soldiers could be heard. Obviously, after a short period of fighting, they had exhausted their physical strength, and they felt exhausted after venting their hearts.

Following Fox's inspection, the soldiers who fell on the battlefield were all confirmed dead.Roland was no longer a newcomer to the war. He would not be so sad anymore, but he still felt a trace of anger.

Just like the first time, he gently covered every soldier who died in battle, so that their souls could rest in peace.

Baron Leon watched Roland's behavior, and his thoughts flew back to the first time they met.It was at the gate of Beifeng Fortress, and they were surrounded by more regular troops. Under such circumstances, the soldiers around him showed no fear in the face of all this.

They protected Roland in the middle and even dared to draw their swords.Now, he felt that he had obtained a satisfactory answer.

Looking at our Viscount Whinette, he obviously realizes the benefits of doing this, and he also follows suit, but his ill-fitting armor is somewhat awkward.

Looking at Viscount Whinette who had done the same thing and came to his side, Roland grinned, grabbed his shoulder, punched him in the abdomen, and said at the same time: "This matter is not over today, if you can't Give me a satisfactory answer, and no one will want to leave."

"Stop, Roland, don't stir up trouble anymore." Baron Leon added a little worried after speaking, "Don't forget Duke Osborne's order."

In fact, there was one thing he didn't say, which was, 'Don't make yourself an unreasonable party.' This was really not the right time to say that. No matter what, Viscount Whinette was still a vassal of Duke Osborne.

It's just that Roland didn't choose to continue to shoot. If he wanted to kill Viscount Whitnet, he wouldn't give anyone time to react. He was just a little angry.

And considering the advantages and disadvantages, he is not suitable to do that now, but Viscount Whitnet must pay enough to redeem himself.

Moreover, most of his support comes from Duke Osborne. Not to mention that he is not a disloyal person. Even if he is, he does not have the strength now.

And he just told Baron Leon that he needed 700 horses. Not only did he convince Duke Osborne, he even personally brought the cavalry of the Wind Legion to escort the horses.

Due to emotion and reason, the Duke still has to give face, not to mention Baron Leon is here, this punch can only be regarded as collecting some interest first.

But this kind of behavior of giving whatever he asked for made Roland feel great pressure. Duke Osborne supported him so much, and he was afraid that the threat of the orcs was getting closer.

Now Roland can only hope that the orcs will come later so that he can form a stronger army.

"I know the severity."

After Roland finished speaking, he returned directly to the military formation, waiting for further processing of the matter.

After being punched by Roland, Viscount Whinette, who had not exercised for a long time, only felt a burning pain in his abdomen, but he had no intention of giving up halfway. The soldiers were all looking at him as a lord, so he could only endure the pain and continue. Unfinished business.

After waiting for the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and restrain the soldiers who died in battle at the same time.Casualties on both sides have come out.On Viscount Whitnet's side, 124 people were killed and 68 people were injured, of which 12 people could not survive tonight, and 23 people could not continue to fight.

On the Roland side, 16 people were killed and 48 people were injured. After Fox's confirmation and treatment, all the injured were not life-threatening, but 16 people could no longer serve as soldiers.

It has to be said that this is the terrifying power from doctors, which also strengthens Roland's determination to train more medical soldiers.

The casualties were almost 3:1, and the death toll of Viscount Whitnet was 8 times as exaggerated. Perhaps the metaphysical surgery played a role.

This still didn't count the casualties caused by the previous scout battle, otherwise Viscount Whitnet would not have a bad face, but would vomit blood.

Fortunately, this war has been suspended. From Viscount Whitnet's point of view, at least half of his face was saved. He was not captured, nor was he defeated.

He was just mediated, and of course this was due to the respect of the suzerain, otherwise the result would of course be unknown. '

It doesn't matter how many people believe what he said. At least the family foundation is still there, and some people only dare to talk about it in secret.As for the great nobles, regardless of whether this happened or not, they will still laugh at what they should.

"Viscount Whinette, and pioneer lord Roland, I hope you can provide an explanation for what happened today, and I will report it to Duke Osborne."

After finishing speaking, he motioned for the two to follow, and at the same time planned to act as a clerk to record their words, and after they confirmed each other, they stamped their seals respectively.

The three of them walked all the way to Roland's stronghold.

Looking at the documents spread out on the table and Baron Leon holding a pen to record, both Roland and Viscount Whitnet knew that everything that happened here would be reported to Duke Osborne in detail.

"Tell me why it happened."

Baron Leon rubbed his swollen head, and he realized that he was really not suitable for this kind of clerical work.But there is no way, he is the person in charge appointed by the Duke of Osborne, and he is also the person with the highest title. There is no more suitable candidate than him here.

Seeing that Roland had no intention of speaking, Viscount Whitnet directly talked about Roland's detention of the family heir, but concealed the cause of the incident.

Roland did not choose to refute immediately, but after Viscount Whitnet finished speaking, he told in a mocking tone how Master Marico was preparing to shoot civilians and attack soldiers frantically.

Because there were a lot of witnesses and physical evidence about this incident, and the person was detained in Roland's hands, Viscount Whitnet did not choose to refute.

Even if he wanted to refute, he had to agree with Roland, otherwise the document would obviously be invalid.

As their story progressed, Baron Leon discovered something embarrassing.

At first, both sides seemed to be restrained. It seemed that it was precisely because they rushed over in a hurry and were frightened by the sound of horse hooves that Viscount Whinette's archer loosened the string in his hand, causing the accident and causing the current situation. situation.

Baron Leon didn't believe it at first, but after asking Wynette's soldiers afterwards, he found that this was indeed the case, so he had no choice but to pinch his nose and record this matter as well.

After they all finished talking, Baron Leon checked and found nothing wrong.Then he handed the document to Viscount Whinette and asked him to check it first. After he felt that there was no problem, he stamped the family crest on it at the request of Baron Leon.

Then it was Roland, also after his confirmation.Because he did not yet have a family crest, at Baron Leon's request, he had a fingerprint.

Then roll it up, seal it with wax, and finally put your own seal on it, representing that the letter was sent by yourself.

When all this was completed, Baron Lyon handed the letter to Knight Barry Rapp and asked him to take 200 cavalry and rush as quickly as possible to deliver the letter to Duke Osborne as soon as possible.

Whether it is the Duke of Osborne's support for Roland, or Viscount Whitnet's vassalship of the Duke of Osborne, the cause and some details of the incident need to be reported to the Duke of Osborne.

This will determine Duke Osborne's perception of Roland, which is directly related to whether he will continue to provide support in the future. It is also because Roland is not a vassal of Duke Osborne, so he will not and cannot make decisions for Roland matter of compensation.

"Talk about the issue of compensation yourself, and I won't get involved."

After Baron Leon finished speaking, he left the room directly, leaving only Viscount Whitnet and Roland together.

"Then let's talk about the ransom for you and your son and the soldiers."

When Roland opened his mouth, it was a 'king bomb', and Viscount Whitnet stood up in shock. "You fart, when did you capture me and my soldiers?"

Regarding Viscount Whitnet's reaction, Roland had expected, "This matter is caused by your son, and you also invaded my territory. If we can't reach an agreement, then let's continue fighting, sir. There will be a result.

I believe the Duke of Osborne is a sensible man, and he does not blame me. "

Viscount Whitnet opened his mouth, remembering Duke Osborne's sternness, and finally said decadently: "Yes, you can order as many as you want, my Whitnet family will definitely satisfy you."

"Very well, I need Baron Powell's land as compensation. You know, there is a stronghold I built there, which you promised to lease to me at the time."

Roland wanted the territory as soon as he opened his mouth, and he knew that this would inevitably be rejected, but this was just a way to raise the price on the ground.

"You know I can't do that. It's a territory that was enfeoffed, and I don't have the right to dispose of it."

"So it means that other lands can be negotiated?"

Viscount Whitnet only felt furious about Roland's sloppy words. He no longer planned to continue testing each other like this. If he continued like this, he felt that he would lose a few years of life.

"Be honest, what compensation do you need, Lord Roland."

Hearing Viscount Whitnet's change of address, Roland was waiting for this time, waiting for the enemy to raise the matter of compensation first, "My request is not high, just three thousand gold coins."

Viscount Whitnet took a deep breath and told himself not to be angry and not to be fooled by the enemy. After several deep breaths like this, "If I had three thousand gold coins, the Evernight Forest would have been mine long ago. Be honest."

Roland pursed his lips and thought: 'If you knew how much land there is here, you could borrow ten thousand gold coins from other nobles, not to mention three thousand gold coins.Oh no, maybe other nobles who will discover the clues will get there first. '

Thinking about it this way, it seems that he, Roland, was indeed picking up the bargain, but Roland did not steal or rob, but was forced into the Forest of Eternal Night, and the land he won was also a matter of luck, and He has nothing to do with Viscount Whitnet.

More importantly, he actually invaded his own territory, which Roland could not forgive. If he was not made to pay a sufficient price, he would definitely not remember this lesson.

"Then tell yourself how many gold coins you can get."

Considering that the Whitnet family may not have too many gold coins in order to deal with the threat of trolls.In the end, they came to an agreement and made it a condition that Roland would not publicize the matter (although in Roland's view it was dispensable).

The Whinette family paid Roland the following compensation: '1000 gold coins, 100 pack horses, 200 oxen, 300 pairs of armor, and 500 tons of grain. '

The total value of these supplies is nearly 2000 gold coins. Seeing Viscount Whitnet's blushing face, he even asked if he could have less without this son.Roland is already very satisfied with the compensation,

Eventually the two also drafted a non-aggression pact.

Regardless of the large amount of food, it is actually only enough for 1 people in April, but for Roland and the others, it is enough for them to use until the autumn harvest, which is enough.

Seeing the released Young Master Marico, Viscount Whitnet slapped him a few times as he stepped up, making his face flushed.Even Roland, an outsider, took a few deep breaths, not to mention Master Marico himself, but today he was extraordinarily honest, and just endured all this silently.

The next step is to wait for Viscount Whitnet's supplies to arrive.Looking at the backs of them leaving, Roland really wanted to say again, 'Welcome next time. '

After obtaining these supplies, the most important thing is armor. Roland can now mobilize troops to clean up the surrounding area and dry sea salt with peace of mind.
