Unspeakable bubbles

"The other three heirs of the dukes are all quite capable."

"Andy Griffin, the heir of the Griffin family, is good at domestic affairs and has made great progress in the financial situation of the Griffin family in the past two years."

"Cecil Mormedy, the heir to the Mormedy family, is a man of strong character and possesses an extraordinary insight into the political situation."

"Alfre Graeme, the heir of the Graeme family, is a daring and ambitious man. With the help of his sister, he may be the one who achieves the most in the future."

"I must say, the Duke's family's methods for cultivating heirs are truly remarkable!"

Section 684, Chapter 683, Obstructed

"Monk, get ready, we've received a new mission."

"Yes, Captain!"

Seeing the monkey-faced man carefully examining his weapons, the knight captain couldn't help but ask the question that had been on his mind for days.

"Monk, I heard you used to be the sheriff of the Yogtis?"

"Yes, I've already stepped down because I had to participate in this war."

"...Why take this route?"

The captain asked, puzzled, "You're already a sheriff, wouldn't it be better to slowly build up your seniority?"

"Although Lady Carmen has taken good care of you by arranging for you to come here, the battlefield is ruthless, and who knows when our knight team will... cough, I won't say anything unlucky, you understand what I mean."

"Captain, I might have to wait until I'm seventy or eighty to accumulate seniority before I can finally save up enough money to buy a manor when I retire."

"But it's different on the battlefield. If I survive this time, I can be knighted and inherit a remote little manor!"

"The manor doesn't really matter, the key is that knight status."

Monk said with longing, "If I become a knight and accumulate enough merits on the battlefield, perhaps, perhaps I can become a lord!"

Yes, the kingdom also has a title of nobility.

This can be said to be an honorary title specially established to encourage knights who have made great contributions.

It cannot be inherited; the 'territory' one possesses consists of only a few manors, or at most a small village.

However, a lord is indeed a nobleman recognized by the kingdom, and becoming a lord means officially stepping into the noble class of Sain.

"I see, my lord... the dream of countless knights!"

The captain patted Monk on the shoulder with great admiration: "You're an ambitious person, and you have connections in higher-ups. I have high hopes for you!"

After saying that, the captain lowered his voice and instructed, "Don't rush too far ahead later, stay behind me."

"clear"

Monk nodded, his gratitude towards Carmen growing even stronger.

The fact that he, a guy with mediocre martial arts skills, was assigned to the Knights and received preferential treatment from the captain on several occasions is undoubtedly due to Carmen's efforts behind the scenes.

Munch never considered himself Carmen's 'savior,' nor did he feel that Carmen's care for him was a given.

He remembered every single kindness Carmen had shown him.

"set off!"

At the captain's command, the squad of thirty knights officially set off.

Their mission was to intercept an enemy baron who was suffering heavy losses and was being escorted back to his territory by his own knights.

The knights traveled through the night, and the bumpy ride was not pleasant. Fortunately, under the captain's guidance, Monk's riding skills improved rapidly, otherwise his buttocks would have been chafed raw by the end of the journey!

The information provided by the viper was very accurate. At the crack of dawn, the group finally intercepted the baron, who looked utterly desperate.

"kill!"

There were no attempts to persuade them to surrender; the two sides engaged in a fierce battle.

The Baron's side only had six knights, and these six knights were powerful, clearly superior to Monk's ragtag army.

However, even the strongest fists cannot fight against a large number of knights. Surrounded by numerous knights, the six well-equipped veteran knights could only die in frustration.

The captain of the knights rode up to the distraught baron and said calmly, "Your Excellency, we will treat the prisoners well."

"..."

“I cannot surrender. If I surrender, my entire family will be disgraced because of me.”

After struggling for a moment, the baron finally gave a bitter laugh: "Knight, please let me die in battle."

"it is good"

The knight captain had anticipated this outcome, as it was rare for nobles of the Saen to be taken prisoner.

Sometimes, even if you don't want to die, the knights around you will give you a 'dignified' experience.

Two warhorses passed each other, and the baron swayed and fell headlong off his horse.

"How far is it from here to his territory?" the knight captain suddenly asked.

"It's only a half-day journey, so we can make it."

After answering, one of the knights examined the baron's body again: "Killed with a single sword strike, the body is intact, no problem!"

"kindness"

The Knights captain nodded: "Monk, the usual."

Upon hearing this, Monk immediately dismounted and carried the baron's body on his back.

When Monk first carried the corpse of a nobleman to the other party's territory to 'demand a reward,' he was extremely nervous, fearing that he and his party would die there.

After a few times, he got used to it.

.................................................. ..................

More than four months have passed since the outbreak of the civil war. The North is advancing rapidly, while the South, under the leadership of General Carmen, has also accelerated its pace and is heading straight for the capital.

Prince Cherwell's ascension to the throne was illegitimate to begin with, and under pressure from both the north and south, his efforts to maintain his position have now shown clear signs of decline.

Princess Isabelle was thrilled. She felt that if the situation could be maintained for another month, she would send that traitor to the guillotine!

However, she soon received some bad news.

"Ignaz is seriously injured, and Carmen has decided to halt the march?"

Startled, Isabel rushed over.

"Ignaz!"

The tent was filled with the faint smell of medicine, and Ignaz was talking to Carmen, looking exhausted.

Seeing that Isabel had come to visit him in person, he forced himself to get out of bed.

"Don't move, your health is the most important thing!"

"Your Highness, I am ashamed..."

“You’ve done a great job. Don’t worry about the rest. Chavel is beyond saving. We will win.”

Isabel has also made a lot of progress recently. She never mentions the battle situation, but only tells Ignaz to focus on recovering from his injuries.

"Get some rest. I'll brew some medicine for you to drink later."

"Your Highness..."

Ignaz was so grateful that he was speechless.

Carmen observed coldly, feeling that although Isabel had made some progress, her methods of winning people over were still too deliberate.

"Carmen, let's talk outside."

After greeting Ignaz, Isabel and Carmen left the tent.

"What happened? Isn't Ignaz a super strong fighter? How could he be injured like this...?"

“Your Highness, in other places a super strong person might be able to decide the outcome of a battle, but here is Sain.”

Carmen shook her head: "Another super strong person made a move. Ignaz was not in good condition after a series of battles and was unable to defeat the opponent."

"Damn it, there are still super strong people who are loyal to the false king at this time."

Isabel stamped her foot: "What do we do now? If the Southern Army is stopped by a super strong expert, it will be a huge joke!"

“I have already written to the head of the household for help, and reinforcements will be sent from Yugren soon.”

'Tsk, if they had sent a few experts earlier, would this have happened?'

These words circled on Isabelle's lips, but she ultimately swallowed them back down.

Section 685, Chapter 684: Reinforcements

"Huh? Carmen sent a letter requesting reinforcements of a super strong expert."

"The battle is fierce, my lord. Ignaz has been severely injured by the super strong warriors on Prince Chavel's side."

"Hmm, let Bubble think of who to send..."

Carmen needs the support of a super strong person, but the little girl has too many super strong people on her side, and she doesn't know who to send over for the time being.

"By the way, I wonder if Shura is free."

"Qianbian is also in the Southern Army. The two are familiar with each other, so they can work together to take down the opponent's expert."

After making her decision, the young girl immediately wrote a handwritten letter and had it delivered to the Viper headquarters.

..............................................................

"Lord Gerald, there is another document here that requires your attention."

"Lord Gerald, what about your six-month summary? It's been delayed for too long, it can't be delayed any longer."

"Lord Gerald..."

The man typed on the keyboard with vacant eyes, a cup of coffee that had long since gone cold beside him.
