"I don't know how to thank you." Darren sat on the cart and said to Arthur.
Santaga's death happened yesterday. After burying his wife's body in the river, Darren's mental state was obviously much better.
Darren has been expressing his gratitude since he left that battlefield.
Arthur, who was riding a horse, looked at him and said, "It's okay, this is what I should do."
At this time, he was extremely happy.
It feels so good to be needed.
This feeling is even more pleasant than when he got three thousand golden dragons.
Because he didn't have a specific idea about Golden Dragon, but he heard a lot of Darren's thanks.
Yesterday, with Edmure's mediation, Genos finally made some steps back.
After receiving the three thousand golden dragons brought by the Tully family's clipper ship, the Earl of Stonehedge happily released Brynden.
Now, Crowtree City owes the Tully family more than four thousand gold dragons.
Even a large family with thousands of soldiers is still exhausted.
After counting the money, the Brackens left, leaving the Tullys and Blackwoods to reconcile their accounts.
After traveling a certain distance on the road, they boarded dozens of merchant ships waiting there.
While on the water, Lord Janos and Arthur also settled their mutual debts and settled them all at once.
Three hundred and seventy Bracken soldiers died in the end, and Arthur paid the same amount of gold dragons for them.
Six hundred and sixty-three people died in Crowtree City.
Due to the hot weather and humid climate, many seriously injured soldiers on both sides were not rescued.
Since it was impossible to count how many innocent souls Arthur had killed, the earl concluded that Arthur had killed three hundred enemies based on the impressions of his soldiers.
So the golden dragon that had just been given away came back with another three hundred pieces.
As for the matter of compensating Blackwood, given the shamelessness of Genos, it was not implemented at all.
Because far more people died in Raventree than in Stonehedge, if the situation were reversed, Genos would definitely ask Titos to fully compensate for his losses.
Of course, Arthur's promise to give three silver deer to each of the original five hundred soldiers was also fulfilled.
Those who were alive were given to them on the spot, and those who were killed were given to the earl.
As the lord of Shili City, he will do a good job in providing pensions.
During the time on the ship, the earl's uncle greeted Arthur in various ways, and it seemed that the good ones were really his uncle and nephew.
Of course, Arthur also actively cooperated.
When parting, Genos also offered to lend Arthur a hundred men to prevent Blackwood's sudden revenge.
Arthur accepted it with peace of mind.
These one hundred people were all elites wearing iron armor, just what he needed.
The price for this is that Arthur needs to provide their accommodation and food, and he does not even need to pay wages.
One hundred elite river soldiers, plus the original thirty-five ordinary soldiers, as well as the peasant soldiers who can be recruited, are enough to protect several villages.
The earl said that if Blackwood really took revenge, he would send troops to help.
Now Arthur has no worries at all and can rest assured to build his own territory.
Since the soldiers seconded to Arthur were all on large ships, and the ferry in Riverside Village was too small, the two sides separated at a large ferry not far from Arthur's territory.
After landing, Arthur rode on horseback and the others walked.
As for Darren's cart, Arthur saw that he hadn't eaten well in the past few days and was afraid that he would faint from walking for a long time, so he went to a nearby village to "borrow" one.
In the conversation just now, Darren expressed his gratitude.
The journey was tiring, and even when riding a horse, Arthur felt slightly tired.
So when he saw the small castle appearing in front of him, he actually felt like going home.
After I get home, I have to have a good sleep.
After seeing the Bracken flag with the golden shield and the red horse, Amber in gray robe led people out to greet him.
"Go and find a way to accommodate these people. They are VIPs and will stay here for a long time." Arthur pointed at the one hundred elite soldiers behind him and issued an order.
"As ordered, I will let the villagers camp on the hills to the north."
Arthur nodded, agreed with Amber's opinion, and then rode back to his castle.
Amber will take care of the rest.
He is a competent general manager.
…
Castle, hall.
"Are you sure? Cyril's son actually dares to show up?"
Arthur asked the villager.
Cyril was the servant who stole Arthur's family's savings of seven hundred gold dragons. Arthur had previously guessed that he did this because of his gambling son.
"My lord, I am very sure. He grew up with me, and even if he turned into ashes, I still recognize him." The villager was extremely sure.
Arthur didn't believe it, "Since you have such a good relationship with him and grew up together, why did you come to inform me again?"
The villagers opened their arms as if to show their chests.
"My lord, ever since I heard that you offended great nobles like the Tully family and the Blackwood family for Darren, my neighbors and I have deeply believed that you are a lord worthy of following."
"For such a brave and just lord, what does it mean to report a sneaky childhood playmate?"
Arthur was very satisfied with these words, "Then can you tell me more about his traces?"
The villagers then told them in detail.
It turned out that Cyril's son John did not appear in the village openly, but sneaked back in the middle of the night, and was seen by him who came out to squat.
The villagers guessed that John had come to get something.
Afterwards, under the cover of darkness, the villagers quietly followed John out of the village, making sure that he ran to the north.
To the north, that's Blackwood's territory.
They have always had a bad relationship with Bracken, and they had another big fight a few days ago. It is appropriate for Cyril to hide there.
"Very good, you did a great job." Arthur affirmed the behavior of the villagers, "If I find Cyril because of your clues, you will be rewarded with ten silver deer regardless of whether I recover my property or not.
"
Hearing this, the villagers were also very happy, bowed and left the hall.
Amber came in and reported to Arthur: "Sir, it seems that your reward has been effective."
The reward he mentioned was issued by Arthur in order to find Cyril.
After stabilizing, in addition to building the territory, the most urgent thing is to retrieve the seven hundred golden dragons.
After all, it is money.
But in order to ensure that others would not make the first move for the seven hundred golden dragons, Arthur only mentioned that he had lost some property.
Finally, two days later, he got the news he wanted.
[Mission: Find Cyril and his useless son]
Looking at the blue light screen, Arthur felt that it was time to do something.

Sansa Stark introduces her family members to Cersei: "I have four brothers."
"Then you're going to die so happy?" Cersei said enviously.
