"He said that if the North could be recaptured, he would definitely help me get it back. If he couldn't get it back, he would take me away and ensure my safety."

"Ah..." Duke Telsk sighed: "Forget it, it seems that he is not a pure Order believer. In that case, there will be no problem."

Of course he is not a believer of Order, he is simply an unbeliever, just like your daughter.

Kallen thought so, but she didn't say anything about Leo's secret.

Duke Telsk stood up, opened the curtain and felt the cold wind on his face.

It must be said that she was quite satisfied with the man who had taken her daughter.

Whether it was his battlefield sense in the Battle of Winterhold, his decision to head north and back, or his final tactics using terrain, they all showed one thing—

As Kallen said, Leo is a natural born general.

His final destination should be the battlefield.

"Dad..." Karen walked to the old duke and put her cloak on him: "It's cold..."

The recovery of her father made the princess of the North excited, but at the same time, she felt a sense of unreality.

She was really worried that this was just a dream, a dream that could be shattered at any time.

"Okay, cough cough." After coughing twice, the old duke rubbed her head: "Call your little Leo, Dad has something to say to him."

"Dad...you, you can't make things difficult for him..."

"..." The old duke's mouth twitched, and he became even more angry: "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for him..."

A few minutes later, Leo pushed open the curtain of the tent, walked in, and finally stood face to face with the King of the North.

Although both were sixth-level warriors, the feeling that Duke Telsk gave him was completely different from that of Knight Commander Lennon.

If Knight Commander Lennon is an extremely sharp sword, then Duke Telsk is a sleeping lion.

The murderous pressure was condensed into substance, but he gathered it inside his body instead of dispersing it, which made Leo feel a lot more comfortable.

He walked up to the old duke, knelt on one knee, and performed a ritual of the Order Cult: "Dear Lord of the North, you are looking for me."

"Mr. Leo, I hope that next time we meet, you will give me the noble salute." Duke Telsk waved at him and motioned him to stand up.

As expected...the Duke and the sect don't get along.

So, did he really put on such a big show just to trick the Pope into disarming him and completely dismember the Cult of Order?

Then why did he come to me?

Was it because of Kallen, or something else...

Leo's brain was working rapidly.

With the relationship with Kallen, he didn't have to worry about his own safety. But he was a little annoyed that he couldn't see through the old duke's thoughts.

"So, Mr. Leo, cough cough." Duke Telsk coughed twice: "Where do you think my army comes from?"

Chapter 100 The Man Remembered by the Duchess

"Well, Mr. Leo, cough cough." Duke Telsk coughed twice: "Where do you think my army came from?"

Hearing this, Leo knew that the old duke was testing him. He nodded slightly and gave the answer he had prepared long ago: "I think it is hidden in the plank road in the snowy mountain?"

Among the paths leading to the royal city from the Marian Wall, only the Ice and Snow Mountain Road has no Night Demons. The answer is not difficult to guess.

"Yes, but not entirely." The old duke stood up, walked to the map in the tent, drew his sword and pointed it at the snowy mountain in the upper right corner: "The Black Cavalry I lead is a heavily armored cavalry with more than 30,000 soldiers. The plank road on the snowy mountain can't accommodate so many soldiers."

"Even if we can stuff it in, the noise of the march cannot be concealed and will definitely alert the Night Demons."

Listening to Duke Telsk's words, Leo nodded unconsciously, his heart trembling, and he thought of a bold idea: "So... you hid the army directly in the snowy mountain?"

Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Duke Telsk's serious face. He chuckled and stroked his beard: "Okay, very good, you guessed right, I did hide the army in the snowy mountains."

"In the past eight years, I have sent people to open a passage in the valley of the Snow Mountain, which can directly bypass the Royal City to the south side of the Marian Wall. This passage is also the route of my march this time."

"I see. Your Excellency the Duke has been preparing for this operation for such a long time."

"Yes, it's been a long time, very long time." The old duke covered his mouth and coughed twice: "Ahem, Leo, to win a war, it requires not only quick wits on the battlefield, but also long-term vision, sufficient preparation, and necessary sacrifices. Do you understand what I mean?"

Leo could hear the intention of his cheap father-in-law to cultivate him, and nodded quickly: "I'm grateful for your advice..."

"Well, you have great talent and should belong on the battlefield. You need to learn and see more of these things. Do you understand?"

"I understand. Thank you Duke for your guidance." Leo nodded, and his thanks came from the bottom of his heart.

In the eyes of outsiders, he may be an invincible general, but Leo knows his own business, and he has a clear understanding of his own knowledge.

His military exploits were nothing more than plagiarism of tactics from the generals of his previous lives, and his basic skills were much weaker.

In terms of fighting, the invincible Duke of Telsk is undoubtedly the best teacher. If he is willing to teach me, then my progress will be very fast.

"By the way, Leo." The Duke's voice sounded again: "No one else except my Black Cavalry commander knows about my being here."

hum.

Leo's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He slowly raised his head and met the smiling face of Duke Telsk.

Sure enough, what was supposed to come came.

No matter how many merits he had made, no matter what the relationship between him and Kallen was, as long as he was still a believer of order, such temptations would definitely come.

As expected, the old duke raised his hand and placed it on his shoulder: "Leo, what is the Church of Order to you?"

"What are you loyal to?"

"What do you want?"

This is a venomous question.

As a believer of order, Leo should be loyal to the church. But this is definitely not the answer the Duke wants.

But if he answered that he was loyal to the Duke, people would inevitably think that he was a flatterer who was greedy for profit and forgot his principles.

This kind of answer is the most dilemmatic. If you make a mistake at one step, all the steps will go wrong, and finally you will fall into an abyss from which there is no escape.

Fortunately, Leo had already prepared the answer.

"The one I am loyal to is the Princess of the North, Kallen Telsk. I fell in love with her at first sight and am willing to give everything for her," he said.

Of course, this was a lie, and the actual situation should be that Kallen was loyal to him.

"Hahaha, good boy, cough cough cough." The Duke laughed twice, and the gloom on his face became much less. "You said you were loyal to my daughter in front of me, you are a sly guy."

"Okay, you can go."

The old duke waved at him, signaling him to leave, and he curled up on the bed, closing his eyes and resting.

Leo knew that he had passed the test and bowed and left.

When he walked out of the tent, a heroic woman came out from the shadows.

The woman was wearing soft armor, had a noble face, and her long golden hair fell like a waterfall. Her every frown and smile showed the murderous aura of a knight and the nobleness of a noble.

"Joanna, what do you think?"

"Is there any need to stay with a man who is unfaithful, full of lies, Taylor?" Joanna walked up to the old Duke, sat beside him, and massaged his temples.

Taylor was the old duke's name.

"Disloyal and unjust? Oh, Joanna, do you think he is disloyal to the church or to Logan?" The old duke curled up twice without comment.

Joanna is the second wife of Duke Telsk. She is the only one of his wives who is a general on horseback and a fourth-level paladin.

At the same time, she is also the biological mother of Marquis Logan.

"I feel that if he can betray the church today, he can betray Kallen tomorrow, and he might even betray the North the day after tomorrow."

Joanna continued, "Taylor, I know you value talent, but you need to think more about...some tigers can never be tamed."

"Yes, I understand." The old duke still looked calm and composed. "By the way, how is Logan? He has made the greatest contribution to the success of this plan."

"What are you talking about?" Joanna said in dissatisfaction, "How can this be possible? You are here with the most powerful Black Cavalry, but you let your son lead a group of new soldiers to fight against the Night Demon head-on. Aren't you afraid that Logan will really die on the battlefield?"

"Women's vision is shorter than a long-haired cat's tail." The old duke turned over unhappily and said, "Didn't I go through this in the beginning? My son, if you can't even pass this test, what kind of Lord of the North will you be in the future?"

"you……"

"Okay, it looks like he's still alive." The Duke waved his hand and said, "Let him go back to the royal city. The rest will be left to his father."

"You go down too. I'm tired." After a while, Joanna walked out of the Duke's tent and went towards Karen's tent.

Along the way, all the Black Knights bowed to her.

The reason why this female general has such prestige in the army is not only because of her outstanding combat ability, but also because of her title of Duchess.

The Duke is old, and Marquis Logan, as his only son, is likely to inherit the title.

By then, the female general's status will only be higher.

Walking outside Kallen's tent and looking at Leo's back, Joanna's face showed a sinister look.

"Leo, you made the wrong bet in every sense of the word."

Chapter 101 The Taste of the Duchess

Inside Kallen's tent.

"Leo, dad didn't make things difficult for you, did he?" Karin looked nervous.

"Don't worry, no, he even said he would marry you to me." Leo chuckled, scratched her nose, and touched the chin of the stupid bird on his shoulder: "My Lady Princess, when do you think our wedding will be held?"

"Who, who wants to marry you!" Karin breathed a sigh of relief, her little face blushed, and she crossed her arms and ignored him.

"Nono! Marry Leo! Nono!" The mechanical bird waved its arms and flew out of the tent wisely.

After the experience of the past two days, Nuonuo was not prepared to stay here for a moment.

If he stayed any longer, Leo would throw him outside to make out with Kallen.

Damn, mechanical birds don’t have bird rights, right?

"Hey, this silly bird is becoming more and more sensible." Leo chuckled, walked behind Karen, and put his arm around her waist: "Okay, okay, if you are not ready, don't get married yet. It won't be too late for us to get married after the Duke recovers the North."

"Who wants to marry you! Go find Shikoti, you bastard!" Karen muttered and struggled.

But she was not as strong as Leo, so there was naturally no chance of her breaking free.

"Okay, okay, I get it. Don't worry." Leo leaned close to the girl's earlobe and whispered, "Shikoti is Shikoti, you are you, I won't treat you badly because of her."

In order to consider Kallen's feelings, Leo has not brought Miss Shikoti to her tent recently.

He has gradually formed a routine of accompanying Kallen during the day and Miss Shikoti at night. He can be called a master of time management.

"Hmph!" Karen snorted and raised her chin proudly: "Let me make it clear first, although that night... well, although we did that, but... I am not some cheap and slutty woman. You want me to be with Shikoti... That's impossible!"

"Together what?" Leo raised his eyebrows.

"You know what we are talking about!" Karen got angry when she saw his evil smile, and stretched out her hand to twist the soft flesh on his waist fiercely: "You big bastard!"

"Hey, hey, it hurts!"

Leo grinned and laughed non-stop.

With Kallen, he felt a little like he was in love.

Maybe it sounds a bit like a scumbag to say this, but... Miss Shikoti is good in everything, except that she is a little too obedient.

And Kallen, like a wild horse that always holds its head high, waits for him to tame her.

Very powerful...

"Karen, can I come in?" Just as the two were playing, a strange female voice came from outside the tent: "It's me, Joanna."

Karen glared at Leo fiercely, tidied up her messy clothes and hair, and coughed twice: "Mrs. Joanna, please come in."

Joanna is Logan's mother, and legally speaking, she is Kallen's stepmother.

But because she is not her biological mother, Kallen calls her Madam instead of Mom.

"Then I'll come in." The tent was opened, and a heroic and beautiful woman appeared in Leo's eyes.

The age of thirty did not deprive the woman of her beauty. Instead, it gave her a few more unique charms.

Her long golden hair flows like a waterfall on the knight's soft armor on her chest. Her bright big eyes are naturally charming, and the teardrop mole at the corner of her eyes makes her even more seductive.

The golden soft armor did not hide the young woman's exquisite figure. Instead, it added a bit of heroism to her charming appearance and increased her charm.
