Great Nobleman

After a touching and graceful reunion with the triumphant return of Lord Holland.

Brand and Yersin looked blankly and saw the well-equipped "iron can" troops driving away the fleeing bandits and surrounding them from all directions.

Centered on the Holland family caravan.

An astonishing number of armored soldiers held standard spears and kept shrinking the encirclement.

The bandits kept gathering under their coercion.

They didn't spare any robbers within sight.

"That's the Imperial Infantry!"

After the well-informed Yersin saw the mark on the armor of the troops in front of him, he immediately realized that this was the standard army of the Kaya Empire.

Brand, who "also recognized it", "had no choice but to" echo because Yersin "speaks faster":

"Well, that mark is indeed the Imperial Infantry."

The bandits who originally had a numerical advantage in front of the caravan guards of the Holland family.

When facing the Imperial Infantry Regiment, which also has a numerical advantage.

They vividly demonstrated the "excellent quality" of "judging the situation".

When they found that they were completely surrounded by the menacing imperial soldiers and had no way to escape, they put down their weapons and goods one after another, and lay on the ground with their heads in their hands.

A look of "I will not resist" and please "treat prisoners preferentially".

Since the bandits are so knowledgeable, the Imperial Infantry naturally didn't mean to kill them all.

Although many young people with a sense of justice hate these unruly bandits very much.

But after all, it is still a valuable labor force, and it would be a pity to just kill it like this.

The most appropriate way to deal with it is to be reduced to a slave, and then make a "continuous lifetime" contribution to the construction of the empire.

After the dust settled, facing the two sons who were full of doubts, Master Holland also revealed a little bit of the story to them.

The cause of the incident was that a nobleman secretly issued a request to kidnap Brand away.

In order to increase the success rate, the noble also secretly sold a batch of low-quality ordnance.

But in the end, after multiple considerations, the nobleman "reported" the commissioner to the relevant department of the empire in advance!

The reason for the report is not difficult to understand. The main reason is that the nobleman found something unusual in the commissioned party.

——It has a lot of influence and strength, but the fee is very low, and it looks cautious and humble.

Puzzled, the nobleman couldn't help secretly investigating him.

Then all kinds of investigation clues came together, and the nobleman came to an astonishing conclusion!

— undead.

Hundreds of years ago, all ethnic groups in the mainland formed a united front and sent troops together to completely destroy the blasphemous undead empire.

After that, the undead went from the surface to the underground.

Active in the chaotic areas of various races in various countries to undertake various illegal commissions to maintain their livelihoods.

At the same time, in order to show their own sense of existence, they also "advertise" themselves by the way.

They will have a lot of "big events" every once in a while.

Decades ago, a certain empire couldn't bear it anymore and took the lead in holding the "All Continental United Conference" against the undead.

The result of the meeting was a unanimous vote.

So across the continent, various races joined forces to carry out a "cleansing" against the undead.

The undead in the chaotic zone were directly "uprooted".

Under the pervasive magic means, all the organizations and individuals who had any relationship with the undead were all imprisoned or eliminated.

After that big cleansing, no matter who you are, as long as you have something to do with the undead, you are the public enemy of the mainland!

Undead has become a "taboo" noun.

For the nobles who cherish their feathers, although the acts of "selling arms" and "kidnapping descendants of nobles" also violated the laws of the empire.

But compared to "colluding with the undead", which betrayed the whole continent, "the capital crime of punishing the nine clans", it is nothing!

and!

Everything needs evidence.

She just "lost" a batch of munitions and "discovered" being planted.

Then during the "investigation", it was "accidentally" discovered that the criminals were related to the undead.

In the end, he "reported" to the relevant departments of the empire with a "full sense of justice".

Judging from the results, she is still the hero who successfully prevented the abduction of the descendants of the nobles!

No wrongdoing!

Say so.

But before the report, the family of this nobleman gave Viscount Holland an extremely rich and expensive gift in the name of "friendship" as quickly as possible.

In the beginning, Lord Holland was quite happy even though the two parties hadn't seen each other for a long time because he had received a gift after all.

However, when he checked the specific value of the gift, Master Holland frowned again.

Just when he was wondering, the Imperial Inquisition Division initiated a remote summons for him.

The Inquisitor wanted Lord Holland to authorize them to use magical means to conduct an "in-depth investigation" into a case involving Brand.

The communication between the two parties was associated with the "friendship gift" received before, combined with some doubts investigated by the trial division, and the family name of the most important whistleblower.

Mr. Holland, who has an extremely keen political sense, immediately filled in his mind all the details that the judge hadn't investigated yet.

After guessing the origin of the whole thing in the flash.

After careful consideration, Lord Holland reserved the right to authorize the use of magical means to conduct an "in-depth investigation" of the incident amid the bewildered expression of the judge.

The reason is: "temporarily inconvenient."

And for some criminals who are going to rob their own caravan and kidnap their son.

Lord Holland still cooperated with the Division of Justice and the imperial army to stage a good show of "please enter the urn" and "the net is not broken".

"So we're bait?"

After knowing the whole process of the matter, Yersin's face was a little ugly.

But Brand smiled happily:

"This time we counted as meritorious service?"

Looking at the two sons who behaved differently, Master Holland smiled and rubbed Yersin's head, then nodded to Brand.

Although other aspects are "not worth mentioning", Brand's political sense is indeed much stronger than Yersin's.

In fact, this chance of meritorious deeds was specially won by Mr. Holland.

Although there will be no "substantial" rewards now, it will play an extraordinary role at certain critical moments in the future.

"Lennart!"

When Master Holland was considering adding one or two political courses to Yersin.

An iron can whose armor is obviously much more glamorous than other imperial infantry.

While untying the strap of the helmet, he walked towards them.

After taking off the helmet, although the visitor has a slightly longer messy blond hair covering half of his face.

But you can still see the sunny smiling face with a neat beard under the hair.

——It was a middle-aged handsome guy.

In terms of appearance, although he still has a lot of gaps compared with Brand, he seems to be on the same level as Master Holland.

"Anthony!"

After greeting the visitor, Master Holland smiled and introduced to his two sons:

"This is Anthony Mesa, the current commander of the Sixth Infantry Regiment of the Empire. He just returned from abroad. You can call him Uncle Anthony!"
