The next day, sure enough, the barbarians made an attack on the city in the morning, and scared off some of the people who were about to move in the Iron Wall.

Then he abandoned a lot of baggage and made a lightning retreat.

Only Derek with an elite team hanging out in the distance, like watching the other side of the border.

It's not that the barbarians tried to retaliate, but there were more people and Derek immediately turned around, and there were not enough people for him to charge.

The main thing is a cowhide tactic.

The barbarian commander has been watching this difficult enemy, and found that this time the defeat was not right.

There may be accidents and flukes on the battlefield, but there are none in this command.

Not every general can grasp the size, not too close to the hanging, so that the barbarians are very uncomfortable.

Anyway, let's take some time.

No care, like a stem in the throat.

Don't even think about doing anything while you're retreating.

"Is a difficult guy, must find out the other side's history, I have a hunch... He could be a big problem for us going south."

The Barbarian commander sighed. Could it be that Mega Man's time has not expired?

Derek, meanwhile, was frowning.

Along the way, he saw that the barbarians had plundered a large number of population wealth, and did not kill indiscriminately.

This means that the barbarians have a clear-headed decision-making level that is not trying to grab and run.

He even suspected that such a coincidence of lightning strikes was no coincidence.

If this is a plan for Rocco's northern expedition, it's more than that.

"I hope... The aristocrats above can see through the barbarians' plans, or they may be in trouble."

Second Army, Count Pereira is still worried about how to break the barbarian ruse, not knowing whether the boy Derek can be so firmly pinned, attract some of the Barbarian forces.

"If we can hold off some of the barbarian forces, whether I take the opportunity to encircle and suppress, or the barbarian army to rescue, the crisis of Iron Wall City will be resolved."

Count Pereira's plan still has merit, he does not know what is to besiege Wei to save Zhao, but the experience brought by years of military career, or let him do it.

Which is why the First Corps is willing to cooperate with him.

Prestige is a little bit of accumulation, usually do not feel, but the key time can make people trust.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside the camp, which was very unpleasant to the normally strict count.

He even stood up and interrupted his thoughts.

But before he could ask why, Cesar stumbled in with a look of disbelief on his face.

Is something wrong with that Derek kid?

This is bad news, but there is no reason to panic.

"Count!

Cesar knew, of course, that such a mess would displease the count, but he had no time to think about it.

In fact, he even thought it was false news, but the messenger came from two places, and after making sure it was the truth, he broke in out of his mind.

"There needs to be calm, you forget what I told you?"

"Count," Cesar forced out a twisted smile, unable to say whether it was joy or dullness: "Victory, victory!

Knight Derek crushed the Barbarians yesterday. Not only did he take over ten thousand, but he has now forced the barbarian army to retreat."

'What?

Count Pereira thought he was old and misheard, but Cesar repeated it.

This time, he was sure.

I'm sure it wasn't an own goal, but the news was shocking.

The crisis in Ironwall, even the Northern Province, is over?

What do you think about doing every day?

"Good boy, really good boy."

The Count wandered back and forth, but he couldn't calm down.

"Count, we must depart as soon as possible," Cesar warned.

Derek may have taken the lead, but Count Pereira couldn't get away with it.

If it is too far away, people will inevitably gossip in the future, and now the plan is to ride fast, at least to the iron wall.

But the count had another thing on his mind.

"No hurry, this is no hurry.

Cesar, I remember you and Derek have a history?"

"Yes, we are quite compatible; after all, we are both Knights.

Do you want me to be a messenger of sympathy?"

"I sympathize with you! Usually look at you quite clever, the key time how confused.

Now, you're on your way to the Ferreira family, and you tell them that I have a granddaughter of the right age, and I like this kid Derek, and I'm marrying him, dowry... A knightly territory, how about that?"

Cesar didn't turn the corner at first, but he immediately reacted.

"Wonderful! The old ginger is still hot."

This move is really wonderful, watching Derek is about to ascend, at least as a hereditary baron, and later achievements do not know how high.

Make a reservation before he gets married.

At this time, everyone is thinking of making good Derek himself, the earl of the sword took the edge, the first to finalize the marriage.

What relationships are strong from relatives?

You laugh at the old man slow, I laugh at you do not understand the world.

"Quick, quick, boy, what are you still doing? After this marriage is completed, you are also half the matchmaker of the boy, won't you be much better than the others to go and curry favor?"

The old count kicked Cesar in the ass, and he didn't know how to be smart when it mattered.

Cesar's not upset. This is an opportunity.

He rolled and crawled out of the camp and galloped away.

Count Pereira, of course, was not idle. He ordered the journey.

He left the army, led the knights to storm, but in a day reached the city of Iron Wall.

Wait to see a ruins of the south camp, and then look at the high head of the code, to determine that the news is not doped with water.

If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

Wait for him to ask, and know that Derek is watching the barbarian retreat, have to sigh that the artist is bold.

"What a hero!"

In front of the Governor, the old Count praised Derek to the heavens.

Governor Jaffrey, we have served the men of this war, especially Knight Derek. I think one viscount and two barons are not too much."

Of course the Governor thinks Derek deserves a lot of credit, but the old Count worked too hard.

Do you work so hard to raise your kids? This old boy's got a lot going for him.

He knew in advance that Derek came from the earl's order, but this simple completion of knight training, there is no attachment.

What great aristocrat hasn't done the same?

It's normal for an old count to be close, but not so hard.

But the old Count was right in saying that Knight Derek deserved a great credit, and no one could deny that.

So he nodded and agreed, "There is no hurry to show credit, we can wait for Knight Derek to come back."

"Don't wait, anyway, the overall situation has been decided, give him a surprise, so that it appears to take care of the hero!" Why isn't the old count in a hurry?

It's called selflessness to help before the match is settled.

After the marriage is settled, it's called cliquing.

He knows exactly what he's doing.

The Governor had no choice but to agree to write a brief letter of commendation, and then to follow.

When Derek watched the barbarians leave the country, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon the lost nobles returned with makeshift armies to reclaim the lost lands.

Of course, there will be a number of people who will be unlucky.

Cut the jue, seize the land, the specific depends on the situation.

And in the future, it is estimated that no one will dare to underestimate the barbarians, and the border security will certainly be more perfect.

For the time being, it was taken over by the Second Army of a few thousand men, to guard against the barbarian invasion.

And Derek has a bright future ahead of him.

All the other commanders in the handover were very nice.

Everyone knows it's not the same anymore.

When Derek returned to Iron Wall with the military order, he was greatly welcomed.

Two thousand men were even allowed to enter the city directly to receive a banquet.

In a way, he saved the city.

Infinite scenery, let Derek a little giddy, but the memory of the past life and keep reminding him, the more beautiful the more humble.

With all the attention, it is natural to be envied.

Now, all jealous eyes are obscured by the dazzling light, but when the scenery fades, it may bring trouble.

Modesty, low profile, can avoid a lot of trouble.

Of course, the young spirit, the time to fight also to fight.

Perhaps, this is the high-profile work, low-key life?

Derek has a new insight every moment, incorporating what he has seen and heard in his previous life, and modifying his actions little by little.

That got him a lot of good reviews.

This moment reached its peak in the audience of the Governor General.

After the war, the halo of the first man in the northern province once again returned to the governor.

He is the ruler of millions of people in the North, and in most cases can control the fate of any one individual.

Even the Earl of power is half his head.

Legally speaking, he was the governor of the kingdom, the highest authority in the land.

Dispatching armies, administering civil affairs, collecting taxes, and even exercising the right to conscript nobles on behalf of the king.

High and powerful, and the governor himself was only a court nobleman.

This is also the king's check on the governor, who is in power, but it is difficult to maintain this position after the abdication.

But these are all things Derek does not need to consider, can now decide his fate, is the present governor.

So he kept a low profile, with an expression of trepidation when the Governor went out to greet him.

"Knight Derek, I have sent your letter of commendation to the King's capital, and your commendation will soon come down."

Now... Let me take over for the meritorious officials in the North."

"I dare not, I dare not, I did not do this alone, but with the help of my colleagues in the First and Second armies, with the Iron Lion Army and the Citadel, with the support of the nobles of the North."

This is the work of everyone, how dare you monopolize it?"

What Derek said was unexpected.

That day he in the iron wall city under the prestige, everyone has seen, but also thought that is a rebellious generation.

Even if he is arrogant, most people can accept it for the time being, after all, he is indeed a hero, but for a long time, I am afraid there will be complaints.

Never was there such a smiling face among the nobles present.

Whatever the truth is, Derek's saying this, everyone deserves a little credit, and the punishment of the lost aristocrats can be further reduced, perhaps by a fine.

And did Derek lose anything?

There is nothing, the credit will not be less, and even in order to appear a little bigger for their own credit, everyone has to work hard for him to advocate.

The king's reward will not be less, otherwise the people of the North will be unstable.

It's called win-win.

Governor Geoffrey looked at him deeply, and the strength of his hand increased.

"Well said, I have long heard of the Knights of the North, and today I finally saw them."

Governor Jeffrey warmly dragged Derek into the banquet, personally took him to the lower first place, and personally removed his armor.

It was a political stunt, and a bragging point for Derek, who of course cooperated throughout.

"Gentlemen, with the help of the lords of the North, and with the help of Derek's knight, fight off the barbarians, and drink."

The Governor is truly a politician, and a bad thing is a good thing for him.

I don't know. I thought Rocco invaded the Barbarians.

But everyone was willing to cooperate, and it was too humiliating in the early days of the war, so naturally we had to cover it up.
