Once the battle in the North is nearing its end and everyone's strength is nearly exhausted, we will launch a swift and decisive attack to seize territory.
That wouldn't just be a simple matter of being granted the title of viscount; it would at least make one a mid-level noble...
----

"Whoo~"
After driving several kilometers away, the nobles from the North finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"What do you think Leonard Ron's background is? He was just a low-ranking nobleman before, but now he has shown such strength that he even eliminated Wilson Gray."
Thinking about what had just happened, Lucas Kim still found it hard to believe. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.
After all, Leonard Ron had previously acted very humbly, and according to the intelligence gathered, he was indeed a fallen noble family with at most three to five holy knights.
But how could someone with that kind of strength possibly eliminate Wilson Gray?
This is a problem that no one can understand.
"If someone has been hiding their strength from the beginning, then that person is incredibly cunning and terrifying."
Reynolds Luce suddenly felt that the man was somewhat hot, and if that was the case, then he was definitely not an ordinary person.
After all, with such great strength, they chose to remain silent and endure humiliation, and in the end, they even chose the swamp as their territory.
"Could it be that he chose the swamp from the beginning just to lure Wilson Gray into building his territory in the valley, and then he would take over his place?"
Reynolds Luce seemed to have thought of something terrifying; if his guess was true, then this person was truly horrifying.
"Now that you've put it that way, things seem to be getting clearer..."
"But I still feel like something's off. Anyway, there's something wrong with Leonard Ron. It's best not to mess with him if possible."
These nobles found that no matter which way they looked at it, it was all absurd and seemed magical.
Leonard Ron is now shrouded in mystery in their eyes, making them hesitant to approach him.
"Anyway, they're not people we can afford to offend. Let's go back and see what the two managers have to say. I certainly don't want things to escalate..."
This was the most genuine thought of all the nobles present. After all, there was no benefit to be gained from attacking the Valley Territory. It would be better to conquer the weaker nobles near Lake Besri and expand their territory.
Even if they win, they believe they will suffer heavy losses...
This is somewhat of a loss.

"I've noticed that these humans are all just like you. They brought troops to invade, but left after just a few simple words."
Philia couldn't understand this behavior at all; the enemies clearly outnumbered them and seemed to have the upper hand.
I didn't expect them to leave so sheepishly; it turns out they just came for an autumn outing.
"There is no reason to knowingly walk into a tiger's den."
Ron himself is like that; he thinks things through carefully and weighs the pros and cons before making any decision.
If a lord cannot do this, then his downfall is not far off.
However, as the strongest fighter, Fria is perfectly capable of being a brute.
She only needs to focus on fighting the enemy on the front lines; she has many other things to consider behind the scenes...
"So that's why you didn't come to see me at the beginning yesterday?"
Fria was determined to get to the bottom of this matter.
But what she didn't know was that only when you care about someone would you want to know what that person is thinking.
If you don't care, you'll only harbor resentment.
"What are you saying? You are my most capable subordinate. I should consult you first when weighing the pros and cons."
Ron stopped and looked at him with deep affection.
"Because I have always trusted you, your judgment, and your ability, I chose a more prudent approach."
His current demeanor is like that of a scoundrel trying to appease his partner.
"So, that's how you came to believe I wouldn't die?"
Philia is not a love-struck fool and will not be easily deceived by human sweet talk.
I don't believe a single word a man says.
"I have no doubt that you will not die, after all, you are Philia Moonbeam Muris, a dragon I acknowledge."
Sometimes the truth is hidden in a joke.
Ron is in this situation now. He can't let Fria know that he's not dead, but he also has to pave the way for her to be near death again.
After all, we still have almost three years together, and something unexpected might happen.
We might need Fria again then.
Ron didn't want to be resented and used as a tool to be toyed with again...
"So that's why you agreed to be my dog?"
"That was merely a desperate measure taken under the circumstances of crisis..."
"If we're so helpless, then we might as well just wait to die with great enthusiasm."
"???"
Chapter 130 Dragons are on my body! I was bullied by three dragons at once, and my hand went numb from biting them!
Time flies by, though it doesn't fly by that fast, of course.
It was only noon.
"The most disgusting thing is a master who always stares at his maid's body with strange looks~"
Ron, who had just sat down to rest on the sofa, only glanced at Fiona in front of him before being given a disdainful glare.
"Tonight I'll show you what a weird look really means."
Ron was getting fed up. His maid was becoming increasingly despicable, and verbal reprimands were no longer effective; it had come to the point where only physical punishment could sway her.
Let's see if she'll still be stubborn then, and what kind of expression she'll make.
Ron was quite looking forward to it.
"If that bastard master dares to do anything strange, the maid will fight back!"
Upon hearing the man's words, Fiona's delicate body trembled, as if she was worried that she would be treated harshly.
That bastard Ron, he really couldn't hold back anymore and was about to attack me!
But this is all happening too fast; we can't let it succeed so easily...
Although Fiona said that, she was actually not so opposed to it in her heart.
After all, now that Wilson Gray, a formidable enemy, has been eliminated, the territory will gradually become stronger.
She felt that the master who had accomplished such a great feat deserved proper praise...
However, the thought still worried her; she feared she would never be valued again...
That bastard Ron, if he dares to not value himself, he's dead...
"By the way, Master, has the letter to be sent home been written?"
Fiona felt this matter was also very important, after all, such a great victory had been achieved, and it was necessary to inform the family and let everyone be happy.
“I’d forgotten about it if you hadn’t mentioned it. Get me some paper and a pen.”
Ron is now preoccupied with how to turn this advantage into an even greater one.
Although Wilson Gray was defeated, removing a major obstacle, the Northern Alliance and two formidable mountains still stand in the way.
These two powerful figures are naturally the sons of two earls, after all, their strength is far beyond what can be confronted at this stage.
We still need to be cautious.
Because I joined this pioneering war, I have changed the timeline, and the actions of the various lords may also be slightly altered.
In these kinds of situations, it's better to be safe than sorry.
When you don't have absolute strength, it's best to develop steadily and improve your strength.
"You jerk, how could you forget something like this?"
Fiona pouted and handed the paper and pen to the man;
"As expected, the master is still the same, only remembering the sordid things."
That bastard Ron has forgotten about sending letters home, all he knows is... slutty...
I won't let that bastard owner get away with it so easily~
"You should also write a letter and send it home."
