The Dragon Girl would never like the Lord.

What I saw was a sword hilt as black as ink, and beneath the hilt was a huge rock.

Most of the nobles present did not recognize the Leonard family crest.

This is normal, of course, since they were not a powerful noble family and few people remembered their family crest.

“That, that’s the Leonard family crest.”

However, some observant people recognized which nobleman the flag belonged to.

Upon hearing this, everyone present froze, momentarily confused.

The letter was delivered by Wilson Gray, and it was a handwritten letter; the knight was also someone Wilson Gray used specifically for communication.

But why is it the Leonard family's flag?

"Is it possible that Leonard Ron did something to Wilson Gray last night...?"

Lucas Kim looked extremely pale, as if he had thought of something horrifying.

If that's the case, then they'll be facing the enemy head-on on this trip.

Damn it! ! !

"What should we do then? Should we still go and provide support?"

"Damn it, how can we win if Wilson Gray is wiped out?"

"What exactly happened...?"

The nobles present were all talking at once, creating a chaotic scene.

This is the drawback of alliances: without a single person with absolute authority, the group will have many voices and become a disorganized mess.

If faced with a strong attack from the enemy, it is estimated that the various nobles will not be able to hold out for long and will scatter and flee.

Because everyone is gathered together for mutual benefit.

When faced with a formidable enemy, it becomes impossible to maintain a united front.

"Yes, someone came by alone."

Just when everyone was at a loss, a man in silver armor rode up on horseback.

"They're probably here to deliver a message."

Seeing that someone had come alone, Lucas Kim breathed a sigh of relief. As long as a conflict didn't break out immediately, it meant that it wasn't time to turn to arms yet.

If the other side leads their knights in a charge without saying a word, that would be a real problem.

This is the true thought of most people present.

No one wanted to confront the enemy head-on. Before they came, everyone's plan was to unite with Wilson Gray's Knights to form a super knightly order of six or seven hundred men to wipe out Leonard Ron.

In their eyes, such a powerful super knight order could crush Leonard Ron more easily than crushing an ant.

Unexpectedly, the knights standing in the valley were not from the Wilson family, but from the Leonard family.

This left them somewhat puzzled.

"Are you all here to congratulate me on killing Wilson Gray and seizing Valley Territory?"

When they were about a hundred meters away, Ron stopped his horse, then took off his helmet, revealing his handsome face.

hiss.....

These words, coupled with Leonard Ron's face, sent shivers down the spines of the nobles present.

"You killed Wilson Gray?"

Reynolds Luss swallowed hard and asked in shock.

He couldn't imagine how Wilson Grey, who had fifty holy knights and three hundred ordinary knights, could have been killed.

In his view, even if the man in front of him had three heads and six arms, he couldn't possibly do such a thing.

Moreover, judging from the knights behind him, they were still the same hundreds of people who had come with him.

In other words, he wiped out an enemy three or four times his size with almost no casualties.

Even a god couldn't do something like that!

"He and three hundred knights had already finished their barbecue party last night."

Ron said this with a slightly pleased expression on his face;

"I used to think Wilson Gray was a terrible person, but when he's sizzling and dripping with oil, he actually smells quite delicious."

These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears.

No one could imagine how Leonard Ron could say those words with that expression.

At that moment, the other person's hearty laughter seemed cold and eerie.

“Mr. Leonard Ron, congratulations on eliminating Wilson Gray, our sworn enemy.”

Recovering from his shock, Lucas Kim, in order to avoid conflict with the man in front of him, lowered his stance and began to flatter him with a smile.

“Yes, that way, Mr. Leonard Ron will have no more obstacles and can develop his territory in peace.”

"Wilson Gray deserves to die, I've disliked him for a long time..."

Upon hearing Lucas Kim's words, the remaining nobles immediately understood what he meant.

One by one, they began to flatter each other, because everyone felt that it was irrational for a conflict to break out now, and that their side would definitely not gain anything.

After all, Wilson Gray's knightly order had been annihilated, and the knightly order he was now leading, although the number of knights was the same as Wilson Gray's, consisted of knights from several nobles.

There was absolutely no coordination whatsoever.

Even Wilson Gray was easily wiped out, so how could they dare to make any rash moves?

I wish I could turn around and run away.

"Hahaha, well said, Wilson Gray really deserves to die."

Hearing everyone's flattery, Ron laughed heartily, and his expression relaxed considerably.

He also didn't want conflict, because fighting without any benefit would only increase casualties and have no other purpose.

"Now that Mr. Leonard Ron has eliminated this scourge, we will not stay any longer and will visit again when we have time."

This is what all the nobles wanted to say, because no one wanted to stay anymore.

After all, they came to provide support for their own benefit, but now there is not only no benefit, but conflict may also occur.

"Then I won't see you off. Remember to give my regards to Titus Baker and Turs Jesse. Although it's a pity that I couldn't join the Northern Alliance in the end, they are still nobles from the North, so I should still say hello."

Ron finished speaking with a smile, but his eyes gradually turned cold.

"However, if there are still people like Wilson Gray, I can only send my regards to his entire family."

Upon hearing the first part of the sentence, the nobles present all breathed a slight sigh of relief.

I feel that things have calmed down, and at least there won't be any conflict now.

But the second half of the threat still sent chills down the spines of everyone present.

Because at this moment, the other party's expression was domineering and casual, as if they didn't take their group seriously at all.

It's like you can just crush someone at will...

"Don't worry, Mr. Ron, I will definitely pass on your message. Baron Baker and Baron Jesse will be very happy."

Lucas Kim wiped the sweat from his brow and then took his leave:

"Then we'll visit again next time."

"No delivery."

Ron did not stop them, because killing these people was not difficult, but the Northern Noble Alliance behind them still had some strength.

Besides, there's no benefit in killing them.

Because they are currently unable to conquer Lake Bethley, and their battle with the Northern Alliance has resulted in mutual destruction, only to have someone else take advantage of the situation.

Ron wouldn't do something so foolish.

Moreover, before winter arrives, the central noble group will engage in a full-scale war with the northern nobles.

Their goal was to seize Lake Besri and make it their own.

If I were to take over the Northern Alliance now, I would have to confront this terrifyingly powerful earl's son.

Ron doesn't have the strength to go head-to-head with him right now. He needs to develop properly until next spring, when his strength has increased significantly, before he can start to enter the fray.

Only by preparing for war can we seize a large territory with overwhelming force next year.

Ron's demands weren't high either; he wanted to take over Bethley Lake and everything north of the Kechis Mountains.

This occupies one-third of the territory in the far north, and it is the northernmost territory.

The reason for choosing this area is that when the North descends into chaos the following year, this area will be the only place in the entire North that will not be involved in the war.

After all, the location is good; with the far north behind, there's no chance of encountering enemies.

With the natural barrier of the Kechis Mountains, all we need to do is defend the Valley Territory and Lake Besri.

Therefore, in the future, all we need to do is build high walls in the far north, collect plenty of grain, and develop steadily.
