William is back.

Just like Sean came back from the battle, he also brought back some very good "trophies".

A viscount, and two masters at the pinnacle of silver.

Compared to Lonnis, Ruud. Michlin was lucky, because at least he wasn't brought back in a cage like a monkey or a leper dog, at least the treatment along the way still retained the etiquette of a nobleman. However, the two masters under Ruud's command were not treated so well, and both of them were imprisoned in special prison cars for safety, and they were also locked in thick and heavy chains, and they could not move easily.

On his return, William brought back 2,000 steel-winged soldiers, leaving Anno with 1,000 steel-winged and 1,000 white-winged mercenaries at Sedburg. In terms of military strength alone, it is more than enough to suppress rebellions or some unnecessary situations, unless other realms send a larger army to attack, otherwise in Ruud's viscounty, this force is enough to deter anyone.

After returning to the camp, the two masters of the upper silver rank were nothing.

But for some reason, William did not let the two stay together, and instead sent one of them to the temple being built in White Dovetown, where Shephaño was in charge; The other was naturally confined to the barracks and was handled by Rena. However, William did not expect that in the only month since he left, the military camp would be expanded once, and there would be so many strange creatures.

However, as a commander, William was naturally extremely happy about these creatures. Among other things, no one would dislike a soldier like the Bear and the Minotaur, who were naturally suited to be hoplites, let alone a naturally good warrior like the Grey Elves, who not only could use bows and arrows, but were also not weak in close combat, which was much better than archers who were helpless when they were close to them.

Even William would have been shocked by the appearance of this strange army. Not to mention Ruud and the two masters under his command.

When they saw this when they entered the barracks, their faces were full of horror, which was completely different from the information they had heard so far. If Ruud had known that Shaun had such a strong general and army under his command, he would definitely not have participated in Lonnis's coalition plan. It's just that it doesn't make sense to say these words at all, so Rude just looked at everything in the barracks with a little lost soul, but in the end he didn't ask a word.

However, he also knew that he would not have any answer if he asked anyway, and along the way he had changed his ways to extract some useful information from William's mouth, but unfortunately he never succeeded. Although William treated Ruud according to the treatment of noble prisoners of war, this did not include that he would open his mouth to answer Ruud's questions; As for Alfred. He was even more dismissive of the vanquished, and he didn't even think of approaching Ruud.

Originally, after William came back, he wanted to trouble the two barons again, but after hearing Sean say that the war was completely over, and the Boulder family had even sent an envoy. He could only dismiss this idea. In this way, he is looking at how Ruud looks and how it is not pleasing to the eye. Just throw people to Sean to toss. However, William is relatively upright, and at least he has said a good word for Ruud.

Of course, Ruud didn't know that it was in fact that it was this sentence that "saved" his life.

"This guy is not bad, he didn't give the order to fight to the death with our troops, so the casualties are not particularly large."

William said.

……

Today's White Dove Town has become very different from before.

Under the auspices of Neil. Vivien's army to Sean wasn't wasted, and they were all sent to help build the city, which was significantly faster due to the strength of the bears and the minotaurs. In fact, if you can get a unique architectural golem to build. Then the speed is even faster, but unfortunately this kind of thing is far from what Sean can afford at present, so he can only rely on the most primitive manpower.

Instead of tying Ruud up, Sean took him to the house where Lonnis was.

When the two met, they were obviously stunned for a moment.

Ruud did not expect that Lonnis's captivity life was much better than he had imagined, and that he even had a great deal of freedom; But Lonnis didn't expect that Rude would actually become a prisoner, he thought that even if the legendary William personally took action, at most it would be to defeat Rude's coalition army, how could Rude be captured as well? It's more difficult than defeating.

"From today onwards, this Viscount Ruud is your roommate." Sean spoke.

"Roommate?" Both of them were stunned.

"Probably that means that from today onwards, both of you will live in this house." Sean shrugged, "Anyway, there are several rooms in the house, so it doesn't matter if you have one room." ”

Sean didn't pay attention to Lonnis's face at all, in fact, according to the tradition of noble captives, Sean should have prepared another house for Rudd, but at present, there is indeed no vacancy in White Dove Town, and William on the other side of the barracks made it clear that he didn't want to see this person, so Sean couldn't bring Rude to Red Leaf Town, so he could only let him share a house with Lonnis.

"But there's no one who eats for nothing here." Sean turned to look at Ruud before speaking, "If you want to be treated better, or eat better, then you have only two options. The first is to trade with me at an equivalent price, depending on what you can come up with in exchange; Second, you go to Lonnis, and maybe he'll share his food with you if he's in a good mood. ”

Speaking of this, Sean once again turned his gaze back to Lonnis's body and said, "Don't say I didn't remind you, it will probably take about a week or so for the Boulder family's emissary group to arrive, and your benefits are only tomorrow." If you haven't been able to come up with anything new to exchange for tomorrow night before midnight, then you know the result. ”

Sean was very face-saving and didn't say that he was going to put Lonnis in a cage, which made Lonnis a little glad in his heart.

Soon, though, he was depressed again.

A week, which meant that he had to find a way to get another thing to trade as soon as possible, otherwise, according to what he knew about Sean, this bastard would definitely dare to hand them a cage in front of the entire envoy group.

Just thinking about this makes Lonnis feel bad.

"Is there any other way?" Lonnis asked.

Listening to Lonnis's tone, it was obvious that he had softened, which made Ruud look surprised. In his impression, Lonnis definitely belongs to that kind of hard-line person, when he was in the army, he even dared to quarrel with the senior officers of the military department, and dared to directly refuse and ignore wrong orders, such a fierce man who impressed Rudd would actually say such soft words at this moment?

It seemed to know what Daorud was thinking, Lonis was silent for a while, and then said helplessly: "Sometimes, reality is very cruel. ”

Ruud looked at Sean with a frightened expression, he really couldn't figure out what method this lord used to wear Rude's will to this extent, it was really an incredible thing.

"Give me your piece of barony." Sean said unceremoniously.

Lonnis's brow furrowed slightly, he didn't expect Sean to actually put forward such a condition.

For the average nobleman, the domain is all they have, and ceding a complete noble domain is basically equivalent to giving up the nobleman. In other words, although the nobleman still retains the original title, the management of the territory, etc., his allegiance will no longer be to the original country, but to the new suzerain. However, this is also for ordinary nobles, such as Viscount Ruud, and this method of cession must at least be a national war.

Although this war is a contradiction between Sean and the Boulder family, and the Boulder family has been completely defeated, the cession of the territory can only be ceded to the territory of the Boulder family, such as the enclave of the Mordeg Territory, and the Barony ruled by Lonnis, the Boulder family has no right to cede. However, this territory is not the core territory of the Lonnis family, so even if it is ceded to Sean, he will not become a member of the Duchy of Lane because of this.

It's just that Lonnis doesn't know what Sean wants this territory for.

Leader Mordeg, he had already seen, was a strategic location that was extremely advantageous to the Duchy of Lane, but it was of little use to the entire kingdom of Dabiang. So Lonnis's intuition told him that Sean definitely had some kind of purpose in his territory, but he didn't have a clue what that purpose was.

Lonis didn't like that.

This feeling of being completely out of control made him very uncomfortable.

"Can I think about it?" Lonnis asked.

"Absolutely." Sean shrugged, his face not fluctuating in the slightest, but he turned his head to look at Ruud, "Next, let's talk about the problem between me and you." ”

"What's the problem?" Ruud looked puzzled.

"I've looked into you, Ruud. Mitchlin. Sean smiled and said, "Your family hasn't been a nobleman for a long time, so you don't have any roots in the kingdom of Dabion. It can be said that your family can grow now thanks to your efforts. ”

"What do you want to say?" Rudd's eyes were fixed on Sean.

"Do you know what the war is over, but you and your men have been captured by me, and my soldiers are still in Sideburg?"

Rude frowned slightly, and then looked at Sean with a shocked expression: "You want to occupy my territory!?" (To be continued.) )

PS: I don't know what Lu Dao is for, as soon as it is past twelve o'clock in the evening, the whole person can't bear the trouble of the sleeping demon at all. Could it be because of the recent lack of energy?
