Knight with Wand

Chapter 133 Undercurrent

Cart after cart transported the spoils back to Longka, and the horses were taken to the stables for care. Leon checked the seized weapons in the warehouse.

The wolf-patterned armor with magical protection on the young master of the Wolf family, as well as his superior warhorse, including the sword and lance, naturally became Longka's spoils of war.

However, if the amount negotiated later is sufficient, this thing may be redeemed by the Wolf family along with the people, so it does not count at the moment.

As for the other set of knight plate armor burned by the scorching halberd, its owner has died in the battle, and the body has been properly preserved, waiting for his family to redeem it later.

As for the damaged knight armor, according to old Brian's assessment, the opening of the breastplate did not damage the structural parts. If a layer of armor is covered along the opening, it should not affect the protective ability.

Regardless of whether the other party's family will spend a lot of money to buy back the relics, this set of plate armor is a considerable gain.

So, excluding Canis's equipment, a total of 16 enemy horses and 16 sets of intact or slightly damaged heavy cavalry armor were captured in this battle.

In addition, more than 50 sets of chain mail, hand armor, greaves, helmets, long-handled weapons, round shields of different sizes and shapes, long shields, and large shields were assembled to fully arm the main infantry.

There were more than 70 long-handled weapons without armor, and 20 to 30 swords, hammers and maces scattered on the battlefield were collected. Most of these things were not seriously damaged and could be repaired and used again.

After a rough calculation, the value of Canis himself and his armor and soldiers were not counted.

These various weapons are worth about 1,300 gold crowns.

According to the army's practice, one-third to two-thirds of the total value of the spoils handed in by the soldiers will be given to the soldiers who fought bloody battles.

Leon had no practical experience in how to fairly distribute money and property to each soldier. Fortunately, he had old Brian and Sir Redo around to provide advice, so they could discuss and formulate a distribution system in detail.

Leon would not be stingy with his soldiers who fought to the death to defend their homeland. After all, he was holding Cannis in his hands, and the ransom value of him alone was probably several times that of these things in front of him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Counting the leak of "Death Claw" from Selva that time, this was the second time he made a fortune from war.

It's true that if we don't have guns or cannons, the enemy will make them for us.

Of course, the premise is to defeat the strong with the weak and the rich with the poor. We must be able to defeat the enemy, otherwise it will be a loss.

Just like the defeated Wolf Leader, who came here with a large army, but didn't kill into the Thorn Flower Leader, didn't get a penny, and lost his young master, which was really a loss.

Compared with the other side, Longka's losses were much smaller. Although the farmland was destroyed, the benefits of this battle were far greater than the grain harvest in Longka.

The property and safety of the villages and towns in the territory of the Thorn Flower Family were successfully protected. The food supply problem of a small village can be solved by spending more money next year by transporting food from other places.

The sun gradually set from the west of Longka.

Soldiers from the reinforcements who failed to participate in the war were sent to take turns to guard the camp for the wounded. After a full meal and drinking, the Longka defenders fell asleep in exhaustion after the hard battle.

In the village house, the people who had a simple dinner gathered around the long table to talk about the victory of the battle. Lohak's loud voice kept exaggerating for Sir Marcelo and others about the Jedi counterattack of everyone facing the enemies today. When he was excited, he couldn't help but pat Azerien's injured shoulder, which made the son of the noble smile bitterly with pain.

After three rounds of drinking, Sir Redo raised his glass: "Today's victory is due to Lord Leon and Miss Olivia. Let us salute them."

"You two captured the general in front of the battlefield and defeated the enemy army three times your size. This heroic deed will surely become the pride of the Farolis family and spread throughout the Grey Fir Valley." Sir Marcelo raised his glass and boasted in agreement.

He was fortunate to have seen the martial arts of the girl next to Lord Pendragon on the night his wife was attacked, so he naturally had no doubt about the role the girl played in this battle.

Leon saw that everyone saluted after hearing his words. He raised his hand quickly: "Without Lord Redo leading the cavalry to risk their lives to hold back the enemy's main force, there would be no victory in this battle.

Even if we have to talk about the first merits, it is all those who charged into the battle, my servants and guards, and Olivia."

After saying that, he turned around and smiled and raised his glass to the somewhat bewildered blonde girl beside him: "Salute to the pride of Selva."

"Salute to the Golden Lion of Selva!" Lohak said the girl's past nickname in a teasing manner. He always thought that this title was impressive and loud.

Olivia's cheeks turned red when she heard it. This exaggerated title was really embarrassing.

"Golden Lion, this title is really appropriate for Miss Olivia. Your bravery makes me admire you today." Filippo, the second son of the Anquila family, praised.

He was convinced by the martial arts of this beautiful girl, not to mention that the other party was also one of the benefactors who saved his reputation.

Olivia, who had never experienced so many people looking at her with respect, hurriedly picked up the wine glass.

"Olivia doesn't dare to take credit for it. I just did my best today. I respect all the brave adults."

Sir Redo smiled and said, "Ha, there's no need to honor us anymore, Miss Olivia. Although you are still a young flower in the boudoir, you are a rose with thorns. With your military exploits and martial arts today, the title of knight is within your reach. Remember Lord Leon asked me before."

Halfway through his speech, he saw Leon blinking hard, so he quickly stopped talking.

Ledo realized that Lord Pendragon seemed to be preparing that as a surprise for the future.

After having enough wine and food, everyone left the celebration banquet and went back to rest.

Leon took the packed dinner and horse meat to visit Corvis who was still resting.

He knocked on the door, but there was no response. He turned the key and went in. The over-exhausted teenager was still sleeping.

He turned his head to look at the litter box of the little griffin. It was clean and did not need to be replaced. I don’t know if Lohak or Azerien came to help take care of it in advance.

Leon sat down on the bed, picked up the restless little griffin that resisted him, and began to feed it. He fed it fresh horse meat cut from the dead horse carcass today.

The little griffin, who was originally resisting the smell of strangers, smelled the smell of the food that was engraved in his genes, and the cat-sized fur ball immediately chirped with excitement.

There is no need to help with eating. Even the newly born griffin cub can easily tear fresh meat with its hard beak developed in the shell.

Stroking the little fur ball lying on his legs and devouring food in ecstasy, Leon remembered that he had not had time to give it a name.

After thinking of several options, he shook his head and gave up. This little guy has been under the care of Corvis since the beginning, so let the little wizard name it.

And it's not just the name. As long as the death claws don't come to find the child, Leon plans to let this little guy follow Corvis in the future.

Maybe it was because it regarded the first person it saw as its parents when it was born, or maybe it was because it was familiar with the magic breath that nourished and incubated it for a long time. This little guy currently only shows great trust and closeness to Corvis.

Leon didn't plan to spend any more effort to change it. Anyway, it would be nice to become Corvis's riding partner after six years when it grows into a young man.

I don't have any obsession to fly in the blue sky, it doesn't matter who becomes the griffin knight.

Putting down the full ball of fur, Leon looked back at the golden-haired boy who was sleeping quietly.

What he said at the dinner was not empty talk. He would not forget the contribution of this partner who had been helping him wholeheartedly, and naturally he would not let him just be his servant forever.

It's just that now, he can't give out a reward commensurate with his contribution, but it will be different soon.

After leaving Corvis' room, Leon closed the door and walked towards Olivia's room, stroking his chin and thinking about the next step of the army's construction.

Now he has obtained a large number of weapons. As long as there is sufficient funds in the later stage, he can also organize a phalanx of 50 to 60 elite armored infantry.

And the six members of the guards finally got war horses, so they can charge into battle with him and Corvis in the future.

Now, with Olivia, Lohak, Azerien, and two Plyton attendant cavalrymen, not counting the family reinforcements, he has 13 heavy cavalrymen and 12 horses without riders.

As long as he organizes a 25-man elite heavy cavalry formation as soon as possible, he will definitely be able to inflict much better losses than now on a battlefield like today, and many soldiers will not be sacrificed in vain.

This time he does not plan to sell the horses, he has to keep them anyway.

Anyway, the ransom for Canis is indispensable.

After a battle, he truly felt the suppression and initiative of the cavalry on the battlefield.

Thinking about how to command and win if he has such a heavy cavalry formation that is half of the enemy of the Wolf Leader in the daytime battle, he quickly walked to Olivia's room.

Suddenly heard the sound of pouring water, Leon looked up.

In the bedroom, Olivia rolled up her sleeves, lifted the wooden barrel, and poured the hot water into the big bathtub in the room.

"Ah? Leon." Olivia turned around, blinked angrily and apologized: "Sorry, are you in a hurry to rest? I want to take a bath and wash off the bloody smell on my body as soon as possible, so."

"It's okay, it's okay, no hurry, but you reminded me." Leon raised his eyebrows and smelled his arm.

After the war, not only was there a faint smell of blood lingering on his body, but the sweat smell of a day under the armor was also obvious.

"I'll go boil some water and find a place to wash." Leon emphasized his tone and turned to walk towards the stairs.

With the smell of blood and sweat, he was naturally embarrassed to hug his lover to sleep. Of course, more importantly.

"Wait, where are you going to wash? There is no room in the big house."

Olivia poked her head out of the room and called Leon who was going downstairs in confusion.

"Why don't you wait until I finish washing and let me use the room, or you can just wash first." She suggested considerately.

"That would take too much time. There's no need to be so troublesome. There's no woman in Longka except you. I'm a big man. I can just put a bucket downstairs in the hall and wash it for a while and come up. Anyway, everyone else is sleeping in the room." Leon turned around and said.

"Hall?! No, it's not good. This is too unreasonable." Olivia suddenly narrowed her eyes and intuitively felt the "danger". The girl who had been fooled many times stopped wondering.

"Ah hum~! Bad guy, I know what bad idea you have." Her clever little head sensed the sign of the trap, so she snorted and retreated into the room, and didn't say anything to ignore the other party's hard-to-get tactics.

Tsk. Leon took back his steps down the stairs and curled his lips unwillingly.

This little girl is not as innocent and easy to deceive as before.

He thought he could use a roundabout way to induce the other party to shyly pull him to wash together.

But the girl had been successfully teased by him many times, so she learned to be cautious.

Leon turned awkwardly and returned to the door. He looked at the girl who was about to close the door, pretending to be pitiful: "This is a rare opportunity. Can't we take a bath together?"

"Aren't you going to the hall? Go~ Go~" Olivia urged in a low voice, shaking her hand to drive her away.

"I thought about it carefully. If I bump into someone else, it would be so rude. Forget it." Leon scratched his head and laughed awkwardly.

How could he bathe in public? At the beginning, he was forced to bathe in the open air by the river due to the situation of escape, but if the conditions allowed, he didn't want to be an exhibitionist.

Leon shamelessly tried to enter the door, but then he was blocked outside by the door panel covered by Olivia: "Alas~ Let's take a bath together. You see, I'm tired too. It's troublesome to boil a bucket of water. Let's take a bath early and go to bed early."

He didn't dare to use force, or rather, even if he used force, he couldn't push the girl.

"You bad guy, you must not only want to take a bath, but also want to take the opportunity to bully me. I don't believe you. Go and boil water. Come in after I finish washing." After closing the door, the girl's muffled voice came from the room through the door.

Leon had to turn around obediently, leaned against the wall, and waited helplessly.

But soon his face was relieved again.

Forget it.

I can't take a bath together. It's not bad to wash the remaining water for my lover later. As for boiling another bucket of water? Impossible.

Of course, he is not a pervert. In this era, boiling a large bucket of hot water for bathing is a luxurious enjoyment. If there is a family that rarely uses expensive fuel, it must be that the whole family will line up to take a hot bath in turn. This is normal. I am just thrifty!

Hey~ Olivia juice. Drink first, dry it!

Amused by his own bad taste, Leon held his cheek and hummed twice.

The pressure after the war was relieved a lot in his self-entertaining heart.

".Leon?"

The girl who was undressing in the room pricked up her ears and didn't hear the footsteps of her lover leaving.

But she heard the other party squatting against the wall, and the girl couldn't help but soften her heart.

After hesitating for a moment, she sighed, turned to the door, and said, "Just bathing together~! Don't bully me!"

Hearing the beautiful voice behind him, Leon's face suddenly brightened.

He raised his hand and patted his cheek, turned back with a serious face, and looked at the girl who slightly opened the door.

"No way, how could I bully you? Olivia, your fiancé is the most upright knight in the world who respects women!" Leon said shamelessly.

The girl half-closed her eyelids speechlessly, and her green eyes were full of doubt.

She did not deny that her lover was indeed an upright knight who made her proud.

But in terms of bullying girls, since the contract was signed, this bad guy has increasingly exposed his nature.

Wait for the girl's door to be closed again.

The sound of the water is so rustling.

The ripples caused by the water are very imaginative.

".Don't look~"

"That's too hard for you" the man laughed smugly.

The war full of affection began.

But the situation was almost one-sided, announcing Leon's victory again.

"~Remind me this time, bad guy~"

The girl who let the wolf into the house suffered the consequences.

But the lion ate the peach and drank the nectar in the end.

Outside the temporary military camp of Aiken Village in Wolf Leader, the night covered a figure that bypassed the sentry.

The figure followed the faint guidance of the moonlight and came to the dark forest.

In front of him, the hazy and graceful curves outlined the graceful body like a snake and python under the shadow.

"You didn't do enough."

"What do you mean?"

"The level of chaos is not enough, whether it's flowers or wolves."

"Then what should we do? Speak clearly, Baishou, I'm not your subordinate, and I don't like to play dumb with you." The figure who came to the appointment asked impatiently under the swaying shadows of the trees.

The beautiful waist in front of him swayed with the steps, slowly stepped forward, and the beautiful face of the poetess appeared in the moonlight.

"Farolis is more restrained than expected. I don't know where the army of the Thorn Flower family has gone. I will find out the reason, but before that, let the wolf pack boil up."
