News of the victory in the Handanar County Assembly flooded into the city like snowflakes.
The whole city immediately fell into a sea of joy. People poured into the streets singing and dancing, gathering in front of the city's central square with eight fountains and knight statues. The tavern owners brought out the ale from the cellar, and all the citizens held their glasses high.
, celebrate this rare victory.
According to traditional practice, the city hall has always paid for the ale consumed at such large group gatherings, but it is limited to ale.
If you want to eat bread, sausages, barbecue, etc., you still have to pay for them.
Handanar City is located in the middle section of the Pasyedi River Basin. The land here is fertile, the water and grass are luxuriant, and the water network is very developed. There are large farms and pastures on the outskirts of the city. Before the relationship between the local indigenous people deteriorates, people can still be hired here.
Very cheap indigenous migrant workers, so Handanar City has accumulated a lot of wealth in the past few decades.
The sounds of accordions and bagpipes came from the square. He Boqiang stood in front of the hotel window. However, he could not see the lively scene in the square from here. The buildings in front completely blocked the city's central square, but people were coming to the square one after another from the street.
There was a gathering there, and even the Maple Pudding Inn had people moving two carts of ale from the wine cellar and transporting it to the central square of the city.
This was another great victory on the Warsaw plane after the Battle of the Kempato River. After this battle, the Bena Legion once again showed His Majesty Charles of the Green Empire the style of the Bena Swordsmen Regiment, and the Bena Legion was in Handa
The main military mission in Nar County has come to an end for the time being.
There was a knock on the door. He Boqiang opened the door and saw the hotel waiter standing in the corridor with a large glass of ale. He smiled and said to He Boqiang: "Knight Suldak, would you like a glass of ale? At this time, Handanar
Everyone in the county will have a drink..."
"Okay, thank you!" He Boqiang took the wine glass from the waiter's hand, then took out a silver coin from his arms and put it into the waiter's hand.
The waiter was a little surprised by He Boqiang's generosity, and took out a silver coin as a tip, which was indeed a bit much.
"If you can, please give me a fruit plate with dried fruits and the like. I'm not used to drinking on an empty stomach." He Boqiang told the waiter.
"Okay, Knight Surdak!" The waiter then turned and left.
He Boqiang was about to close the door, but found that Baikal Swordsman was sitting by the window with his feet dangling in the air, his head resting on the window frame, looking very lazy, squinting at the people who were celebrating the victory outside the window.
People seem to be enjoying the glory of this victory.
"Swordsman Baikal..."
He Boqiang shouted in surprise and walked quickly to the Baikal Swordsman.
"Has the injury healed yet?"
Swordsman Baikal turned his head and looked at He Boqiang. Seeing the way he walked and the fact that there was only a thin layer of linen shirt between his waist and abdomen, he guessed that most of his injuries had healed.
"alright!"
He Boqiang said readily, there is nothing to hide from Swordsman Baikal.
After hearing this, Swordsman Baikal sighed again and again: "Little Duck, you were born to be a Paladin, but unfortunately you don't want to join our Constructed Knights. I think you should think about it again. We are the entire Beiji Knights."
The best Constructed Knights in the province.”
Baijiali said this to He Boqiang more than once, but He Boqiang remained unmoved and was determined not to join the Constructed Knights.
He Boqiang said seriously to Baikal Swordsman: "I just want to return to Helensa and go home to see!"
Swordsman Baikal was a little dumbfounded and asked: "You don't really think of yourself as Surdak, do you?"
He Boqiang raised the nameplate on his chest, waved it in front of Baikal Swordsman, and said: "I am Suldak..."
Swordsman Baikal caressed his forehead with a helpless expression. After a while, he raised his head and said:
"I'm really happy for Suldak. Making a close friend like you is probably the right thing he has chosen in his life."
When He Boqiang saw that Baikal Swordsman acquiesced to this matter, he filled Baikal Swordsman's glass with the ale brought by the hotel waiter from the table, handed it to him, and then said:
"I'm lucky to have met him."
Then he also picked up a glass of ale, stood casually at the window, and asked Baikal Swordsman:
"Are you looking for me this time just to persuade me to join the Construct Knights?"
Swordsman Baikal took a sip of ale, then took out a parchment scroll from his arms, threw it to He Boqiang, and said:
"Of course not. I almost forgot if you didn't mention it. By the way, I'll give these to you."
He Boqiang took the sheepskin scroll in his hand, and before opening it, he curiously asked the Baikal Swordsman:
"What's this?"
He Boqiang asked as he opened the parchment scroll, which was stamped by the military headquarters of the Bena Legion. The parchment said: Officially awarded the title of Knight of Surdak.
Swordsman Baikal replied:
"Take your reserve knight certificate and go to the Knight Academy in Helensa City for half a year. As long as you can pass the academy's assessment, you can become a real canonized knight. However, this assessment only happens once a year. This year, you will pass the exam.
Otherwise, we can only wait until next year.”
He Boqiang had long known that reserve knights needed to go to the Knight Academy for further studies, but he did not expect that the academy would actually require assessment, and if he failed the assessment, he would fail the exam and "make up the exam". Suddenly, he felt like the nightmare from his previous life would continue into this life.
.
Swordsman Baikal seemed to suddenly remember something, and took out a parchment scroll from his arms, threw it to He Boqiang, and said without waiting for He Boqiang to ask:
"Well, and this, your retirement application was also approved. This is your portal pass in the Warsaw plane, which means... you can return to Bena Province at any time."
He Boqiang did not expect that Baikal Swordsman had prepared all these for him.
My heart felt hot, and I said to the swordsman Baikal with emotion:
"Thank you for these... Swordsman Baikal."
There seemed to be no words that could express He Boqiang's mood at the moment. He carefully put away these two precious scrolls.
Just as Swordsman Baikal was about to speak, there was a knock on the door.
He Boqiang walked over and opened the door. The hotel waiter was standing at the door holding a large nut plate.
He Boqiang said thank you to the waiter and took the nut plate.
This is a nut that is abundant in Handanar County, called 'Lizard Claw Fruit'. It looks like a lizard claw. Use a knife to pry open the outer hard shell, and there are three nuts inside that are full of oil and special fragrance.
White nuts, this nut is considered the favorite marching ration of the local indigenous people.
However, this kind of lizard-claw fruit tree is now very rare in the Gandael Mountains. This kind of nut tree mainly grows near the Pasyedi River, and this area has been completely occupied by the Green Empire people.
The Baikal swordsman peeled off a lizard claw fruit, holding an ale cup in one hand, and said to He Boqiang:
"You don't need to thank me. These are the same even if they go through the normal process. But your pension application, you really should treat me to a drink. The most troublesome thing in the legion now is to apply for pension. Although this battle has been a heavy blow,
We defeated the Evil Ghost Legion, but our legion also suffered heavy casualties. In fact, the results of the battle are far less impressive than the propaganda. The Duke currently needs to raise a large amount of money to serve as a pension, so right now it is a matter of quick hands and slow hands."
Then he breathed another sigh of relief and said: "Fortunately, this battle is finally won. At least some spoils can be recovered. The cost of war can sometimes really bring down a country!"
He Boqiang stood up straight, gave a military salute to Swordsman Baikal, and said: "On behalf of all the members of the second team, thank you for your help! Swordsman Baikal."
Mentioning the members of the second team, Swordsman Baikal also showed a look of regret:
"Hey, speaking of it, the scene where we fought side by side in the valley is still vivid in my mind. They are all brave warriors. The people living here should remember them."
Swordsman Baikal patted his forehead and said:
"By the way, the young officers in the war room will be sent to the trial court today. They need to pay a price for those wrong decisions."
"To be honest, the empire's legal and regulatory protection for the nobles is really comprehensive. They should only receive some minor punishments. It's just that their reputation in the Bena Legion has been completely ruined. I think these young people may leave.
The Bena Legion, Duke Newman is feeling sorry for this matter. These young men were all recruited by him at a great cost when he went to the imperial capital in person, but he did not expect that they would end in this way."
"Marquis Solomon Bowen is mainly responsible for this incident. Speaking of which, the two Constructed Knights under his command were completely dispersed in the battle of Moyun Ridge. Now only half of the Constructed Knights can be recovered.
, it can be considered that most of the wealth was invested in the Warsaw plane, and the other counts also lost their own legions. According to the punishment for failure in previous battles, these troops were almost lost. The Bena Legion did not make any supplements, so
He said that as long as you have money and excellent soldiers, the things here are nothing."
For this kind of penalty, He Boqiang has been mentally prepared in the past two days.
After all, those young officers all have the aura of noble status, and this is probably the last thing He Boqiang can do for his comrades who died on the battlefield of Moyunling.
He Boqiang could only say a few words silently in his heart: You young nobles in the war room, it is best not to let me meet you in the future...
But keeping this kind of threat in my heart seems to only comfort myself.
Swordsman Baikal took a sip of ale, leaned halfway on the window sill comfortably, and said to He Boqiang:
"Oh, that's right! I almost forgot to tell you that Count Mondgos has woken up, but this defeat has hit him hard. He has almost lost his memory now. He can't remember many things. Yesterday was already over.
He followed the Chamber of Commerce back to Bena Province on his way back. However, the knight recommendation letter he wrote to you before is still valid. Speaking of which, you are nominally his canonized knight. I think after you return to Helensa City,
Remember to pay him a visit."
"Okay!" He Boqiang said.
Because of Baron Sidney's outstanding achievements on the battlefield, and in order for Baron Sidney to win over his cronies, Count Mond Goss gave Baron Sidney one of the twelve knighthoods.
But now Baron Sidney has died on the battlefield.
Surdak is not familiar with Count Mond Goss. If Mond Goss was conscious, he might include Surdak among his personal knights, but now Count Monds Goss
He suffered a serious blow in the battle of Moyunling, and he didn't know whether he could get back on his feet again.
He Boqiang is now a relatively free knight and does not have to go on missions for Count Mond Goss very often.
After all, the title of knighthood that Surdak holds belongs to Count Mond Goss.
Once Count Mond Goss is taken back, He Boqiang will become a civilian.
Therefore, Baikal Swordsman still hopes that He Boqiang can establish some contact with Count Mond Goss, at least not to let him take away the halo of knighthood.
Of course, He Boqiang also has his own worries. If Count Mond Goss regains his memory and finds out that he is a fake when he visits him, he doesn't know what will happen.
The two drank ale and were silent for a while. The Baikal swordsman said again:
"In this battle of Moyun Ridge, there were probably more than 700 young nobles like Baron Sidney who died on the battlefield. Those who died in this battle of Moyun Ridge were almost all young nobles from the faction of Hailansa City.
So it can be imagined that many noble inheritances in Helensa City will have no heirs. If you are lucky enough to marry a noble lady, it is not impossible to be promoted from a canonized knight to a third-class baron. You have to know,
Nobility and knights are completely different concepts. Only after you become a noble will you find that your life will take on a completely new aspect..."
The number of civilian soldiers lost in this battle of Moyunling is probably not small, and the lineage of Marquis Solomon Bowen is probably from the area around Helensa City. In that case, not only the young nobles will be killed, but also a large number of civilians.
Soldiers also died in this battle, and it is unknown how many families will be ruined as a result.
According to what Swordsman Baikal said, if some of the nobles in Helensa City cannot find a suitable heir, then this honor and the land they own will be taken back by the empire. There are always some people who want to take the opportunity to cross over.
This step.
Seeing that He Boqiang didn't speak to him, Swordsman Baikal changed to another topic:
"The students from the Bena Advanced Swordsman Academy are leaving Handanar County today."
"Are you ready to set off so soon?" He Boqiang said.
Speaking of this, he thought of Hathaway and Beatrice, who were probably the only two people he was familiar with among these college students. He didn't know what happened to Beatrice's injuries.
After the effect of the Divine Blessing Body wears off, you will probably feel pain for a few days.
As for the other people in the Swordsman Academy, He Boqiang thought that there might still be some small misunderstandings between him and them. For example, it was better not to meet Norton and his friends.
He stood by the window and stuck his head out to take a look, and sure enough he saw several large magic caravans gathered at the door of Jonathan's mansion.
This time, nineteen academy students of the Swordsman Academy died in Handanar County. At least their ashes were to be taken back. Obviously these arrangements have been made, so the academy would feel that they could set off and find the wilderness hills so quickly.
The wreckage of the magic caravan also has a lot to do with the overall victory in the Handanar County Tournament.
The distance between the Maple Pudding Hotel and Jonathan's Mansion is a bit far. Although it is a long and unobstructed street, the situation there is not very clear.
I could only vaguely see the group of college students boarding the black magic caravan in batches. It didn't take long for the magic caravan to slowly drive out of Jonathan's mansion.
When passing the hotel, He Boqiang was standing by the window. At this time, he looked at the Swordsman Academy students through the car window. They were all sitting in the car with depressed expressions. Few of them had smiles on their faces.
Sitting there quietly, letting the black magic caravan slowly drive away from Handanar City.
Hathaway's beautiful face was reflected in the car window. Beatrice almost lay on her body and kept looking out the window.
It wasn't until the magic caravan passed by the hotel that Beatrice sat back down in her seat with some sadness.
'We will meet again, we will definitely!' She looked at the clouds in the distance and thought in her heart.
