Chapter 465： Lucky hit! (2 in 1)

Woohoo!

This morning, Narant just woke up from the guest room in the Earl of Maple Leaf Castle, and before he got up, there was a rapid horn sound from outside the window.

Narant was immediately startled and jumped up from the bed with a bang.

dong dong dong!

"grown ups!"

"Quick, come in!" Narant commanded directly.

When Quick entered the room, he asked, "What's going on outside?"

"Sir, there has always been a huge team in the north of Maple Leaf City, but because the distance is too far, the identity cannot be determined now!" Quick reported while helping Narant wear the armor.

"A huge team?" Narant frowned slightly.

Next, Narant didn't ask any more questions, put on his armor, put on his long sword and left the castle directly.

At this moment, all the large and small nobles in the castle also rushed towards the city wall in a hurry.

The king and a group of counts have not returned yet. If the enemy is coming now, then they will not feel well.

When Narant arrived at the city wall, Stella, the eldest prince and others were already there.

"Sir Narrant!"

"Sir Narrant!"

As Narant climbed the city wall, both the minor nobles and the heirs of several counts were very respectful, and they all greeted Narant.

This is the respect that Narant has won in this battle. If it was in the past, I am afraid that few people would be so polite to his little Sir.

Of course, there was one person present who ignored Narant's arrival, and that was the eldest prince Byron.

Byron heard the greetings around him, but turned his head slightly and glanced at Narant, then turned his head quickly.

There is no need to say why he is so.

From the inaction when he set off, to the "passion play" in the middle of the night in the camp of the Northern Principality that day, this is probably the reason why the eldest prince has a cold attitude towards Narant.

And Narant didn't bother to explain to him. He would wear a hat if he liked it. Unless the king returned, he would take the initiative to explain.

Narant came directly to Stella, "Stella, how is it, can you see the identity of the team?"

At this moment, Stella was carefully observing with the telescope in her hand, and after hearing the question, she put down the telescope and said, "Narant, I still can't see clearly, there are no flags among those people, although there are few war horses, but there are many carriages! "

Narant also raised the binoculars to look at it. As expected, as Stella said, he could not be identified for the time being. However, judging from the current situation, he at least concluded that he was not the elite of the Northern Principality.

Next, the nobles in the city began to wait nervously.

As time passed, the team outside the city finally came to a location more than three miles outside Maple Leaf City.

At this time, Stella picked up the binoculars and looked at it again, and her body suddenly froze.

"Stella, what's wrong?" Narant was eating the white bread that Quick brought from the kitchen, and immediately asked.

"Narant, it's my father, my father is back!" Stella turned her head excitedly, and after a pause, she said again, "Besides, I seem to have seen your maids!"

"My maids... Vivian and the others?" Narant hadn't reacted yet, but the next moment, he didn't care about the white bread, so he stood up and looked into the distance with his binoculars.

Sure enough, as the telescope looked into the distance, Bernard and several other counts were at the forefront.

Although it is not real because of the distance, as long as it is familiar with people, they can already identify the identity.

And behind the king and others, there are several pretty women, who are Narant's lucky daughters.

"Ah? Miss Stella, can you see that my father is back?" At this time, everyone around heard the exclamation, and the sons of the earl surrounded them one by one.

"Everyone, I have seen it, the king and several counts are here!" Stella didn't give up, and immediately told everyone the news.

"Very good!"

"Your Majesty and the Count are back!"

"Your Majesty and the Count are back!"

As the news spread, the large and small nobles who had been in anxiety for several days laughed and cheered excitedly.

As Narant saw more and more familiar figures in the telescope, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The return of the king and a group of counts means that the big ship of the Onyx Principality can still protect him from growing up.

And the return of all his subordinates means that Narant has made a lot of money in this autumn expedition.

...

It was determined that the king and others had returned, and a group of nobles immediately opened the gate of Maple Leaf City, and then gathered outside the city excitedly waiting for the arrival of the king and others.

"Ah, Your Majesty seems to be injured!"

However, everyone's original joyousness subsided a lot as the king and the counts approached.

It turned out that after coming here, everyone clearly saw that His Majesty the King was missing an arm under his windbreaker. As for the other earls, they were also more or less injured.

"Father!"

"Father!"

Immediately, the descendants of the great nobles came up to them one after another.

Seeing this, the minor nobles also followed closely, and Narant also followed in the crowd, not to shoot the horses, but to return of his subordinates, and he naturally came forward to say hello.

"Father, what's wrong with your arm?" At this time, the eldest prince had come to the king.

"Byron, it's okay, just lost an arm. This time my father and a group of counts killed two golden knights!"

King Culver also saw the uneasy expressions of the vassals, and immediately spoke up.

There was no negative emotional impact due to the loss of his arm, but he showed off his achievements.

"What, killing two golden knights?" Sure enough, when the small nobles heard such a victory, the worry on their faces immediately faded.

Shocked instead.

In this continent, the Golden Knight is the highest state in people's cognition.

It is equivalent to the existence of nuclear deterrence in the country of the previous life. Now the king said that he killed two golden knights of the enemy. The weight of this news can be imagined.

"Father, did you kill the great nobles of the Northern Principality?" The eldest prince was also surprised.

"One is the earl of the Northern Principality, and the other is the deputy commander of the Paladins!" The king laughed.

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

Immediately, there were bursts of cheers from the crowd, and the news really made all the little nobles who were beaten lose their helmets and armour, and who were almost wiped out by the group raised their eyebrows.

While the little nobles cheered, Narant also went to the rear of the king and others.

"Vivian!" Several lucky women were looking at the crowd eagerly, probably looking for Narant.

However, Narant went around to the outermost edge of the crowd and approached them from the side.

"Yeah, it's an adult!"

"I've seen adults!"

"Woooo, my lord, Shirley misses you so much!"

Following Narant's call, several lucky women turned their heads and looked, and after confirming that it was Narant, their pretty faces instantly showed excitement and surprise.

Shirley's little girl even rushed towards Narant.

"Xue Li, isn't your lord fine? Why are you crying?" Narant was swept up in her arms by Little Lolita, and immediately touched her big head.

It's been several days since I touched this little loli's head, and I really miss it a bit.

"Woo! My lord, after you left that day, we didn't wait for you all the way, and Shirley was worried!" Shirley's little loli was surprisingly clingy this time, maybe she was really worried.

Of course, it wasn't just Shirley who was worried about Narant. Vivian, who was standing beside her with slightly ruddy eyes, was also the same with Catherine and Vinnie.

"Okay, okay, the adults will definitely not take risks in the future!"

As the saying goes, the hardest thing to bear is the grace of a beautiful woman. Surrounded by a few charming and lucky daughters who are about to cry, Narant can't stand it either, so he quickly waved his hand to comfort him.

In this way, several lucky women silently put away the tears from the corners of their eyes. .

While Narant was comforting the girls, the cheers of the little nobles gradually subsided under the king's signal.

Immediately, a group of small nobles immediately gave way to both sides, preparing to make way for the king and a group of counts. ,

However, at this time, the eldest prince suddenly saw the huge team behind, and said a little curiously: "Father, why are there so many serfs behind? Could it be that you captured them from some noble territory?"

"Yes, why are there so many serfs?" With the question of the eldest prince, everyone turned their attention to the rear.

If it weren't for the astonishing number of serfs and guards, they wouldn't have been so nervous before.

It's just that everyone is a little puzzled. In the area where they fought this time, the Northern Principality has already evacuated its personnel, and they haven't even seen the extra serfs.

Now His Majesty the King does not know where the tens of thousands of serf captives came from.

And look at the crowd, it seems that the strong young people make up the majority.

"This is Ser Narant's prisoner!" The king glanced behind him and replied lightly.

The eldest prince heard the words, the smile that was still hanging immediately stopped.

"Ah? How is it possible that these serfs belong to Ser Narrant?"

"No, I remember that there were only two hundred people when Sir Narrant came. How did he capture so many serfs?"

The surrounding small nobles were in an uproar, and immediately began to talk loudly.

Of course, it was more of an envious look at Narant.

There was an order from the king that Narant did not need to hand over the spoils, so these serfs belonged to Narant.

"Huh? My captive?"

Narant also heard the discussion in front of him, and suddenly looked confused, thinking when I had so many prisoners, why didn't I know it myself.

"Sir!" At this time, Vivian took a step forward a little nervously, "After we separated from you that day, we went all the way to the west, and we didn't find the enemy following for the next two days, so we slowed down and thought about it. Waiting for you to come!"

"And during this period, when we passed through those small towns and found that the townspeople had returned, we wondered if we could make a big move like you to attract the enemy and ease your burden!"

"So I discussed it with Katherine and the others, and decided to capture those disgruntled serfs in the town, and then ask them to send someone to Jusen City to report!"

"So, we took more than 1,000 prisoners in all the towns along the way, so we took tens of thousands of prisoners in total!"

"However, don't worry, my lord, when we arrested them, we were all selected, and we picked those serfs with many young and middle-aged families. Each of these people has at least two strong laborers!"

Vivian has done census work, so she also has a little experience in selecting serfs.

"That's fine!" Narant's eyes widened.

He had indeed planned to take some prisoners back to the population of sufficient territory on the return trip.

Unfortunately, the sudden pursuit of the Northern Principality interrupted his plan.

It just didn't occur to me that Vivian and the others actually completed his plan by hitting right.

However, Narant suddenly remembered the rewards of the system a few days ago.

"Is this what you call a surprise about the population? There are some surprises!"

The number of these serfs in the rear is completely comparable to the population of a barony.

In this way, after returning this time, he no longer has to worry about the sparse population of the territory.

Next, Narant received a burst of envious glances from the big and small nobles.

The king and the earls didn't listen much, and soon returned to Maple Leaf City surrounded by a group of small nobles.

With the return of the king and a group of counts, Narant felt that this autumn expedition should end ahead of schedule.

After all, in the current situation, the Onyx Principality is no longer able to launch an offensive, but instead, it is likely to need to turn to the defense because of the appearance of the church.

And the fact is just as Narant guessed.

The king and a group of counts issued orders that afternoon, and the army was ready to return the next day.

As for this Maple Leaf City, because of the church's participation, I could only reluctantly give up.

After all, Maple Leaf City is too far away from the Fire Dragon Fortress, and the strength of the Onyx Principality is also not enough for a one-to-two match.

Although all the big and small nobles are in pain, they also know that this is a helpless move.

In the end, the team from the Onyx Principality began to return the same way early the next morning.

When they set off, they had an army of about 100,000.

But when they returned, excluding those prisoners of Narant, there were only less than 90,000 people in the team.

Fortunately, the nobles were very satisfied that they could return safely this time.

...

On the way back, Narant followed Bernard.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, he could just ask how the king fought after he and others fled, and he was able to kill two golden knights of the enemy.

Bernard did not hide it from Narant, and directly informed Narant of the battle process.

It turned out that the reason for beheading the two Golden Knights of the enemy was King Culver.

King Culver had actually broken through from a golden intermediate knight to a golden senior half a year ago.

However, King Culver kept it a secret and didn't tell anyone, not even the counts.

As a result, the Northern Principality and the Church are naturally unaware of this matter.

On that day, two Golden Knights of the Holy Knights and two Golden Knights of the Northern Principality besieged him.

And King Culver seized the opportunity, cooperated with the sudden outbreak of several earls, and directly slashed two people in a row before the enemy was caught off guard.

Of course, these two golden knights are only the first-level gold.
