If you lack an experienced spokesman, you can write a letter requesting personnel from Lord Eriv’s castle to handle it.

You should really take the opportunity to fleece the Wolf Family for a substantial number of gold crowns,” Knight Marcello said with a laugh.

He had earlier heard from a colleague who returned from the front line that Canis of the Gunnar Family had performed valiantly on the Mamor Battlefield, slaying no fewer than five renowned Knight Kantadar and personally killing over a hundred enemies.

It was unexpected that the enemy capsized in the small village of Longka, falling into the hands of their own equally young and brave Lord Pendragon.

“Young Master?

Is he the heir to the Wolf Family?” Leon asked, startled.

“Yes, Sir, Canis is the eldest son of Baron Gunnar,” Sir Redo nodded in response.

Leon felt a slight sweat break out.

Fortunately, that fellow hadn’t stubbornly refused to surrender; otherwise, killing the heir of the Wolf Family would have needlessly tied him to an unresolved feud with the never-before-met Baron Gunnar.

But on second thought, he couldn’t help but look forward to it, as the heir of a great Baron Family would certainly be worth quite a bit.

…

With the crisis in Longka resolved, Knight Marcello and others didn’t rush to leave.

Firstly, to guard against a surprise counterattack from the enemy and secondly because the area west of Longka, having just experienced battle, urgently needed a significant workforce to clean the battlefield.

The armor and weapons of fallen soldiers were collected en masse, and all valuable items from the enemy were thoroughly looted.

Except for the corpses of valuable Wolf Domain Cavalry and a knight, which awaited ransom by family members, all others were transported to the wilderness for immediate burial.

The casualties from the Three Kingdoms, besides local Longka Archers and infantry, were also identified by their kinfolk and quickly sent for burial in their nearby hometowns.

Duwana Spearman Formation had ten warriors fall, and a Knight Attendant brought by Sir Redo also sadly perished in the conflict with the Wolf Domain Cavalry.

Of the four Platon Riders organized before the battle, two died, and two were injured.

These four cavalrymen from wealthy Platon households had fought bravely throughout, so according to prior agreements, the families of the deceased were set to receive substantial compensation as reward for their sacrifice.

The two survivors, besides receiving their bounty, were also presented with an opportunity to swear loyalty to Lokhak and Azeryan and could choose to become Knight Attendants to either.

Leon felt relieved that, among his companions, except for Azeryan sustaining a minor arm injury, everyone else, like himself, was largely unscathed except for unavoidable bruises from the battle.

His own Heavy Armor Guards had also suffered no fatalities, although the three front-liners from Zabron, despite the resilience granted by Boiling Heart, still incurred significant internal injuries, including slight fractures and cracks, requiring some time to recover.

It seemed that unlike ordinary soldiers with thin armor, elite forces clad in well-protected, heavy armor had a very low death rate unless they faced powerful knights directly.

As the setting sun dipped, Leon walked with Mr.

Brian Sr.

on the elevated ground after the battle, surveying the battlefield.

Listening to his Centurion’s report on the army’s condition, he proceeded to ask another question he was very concerned about.

“Have the spoils of war been tallied?”

“Roughly counted, excluding the severely injured horses, we’ve captured two top-tier warhorses and fifteen ordinary cavalry horses.

Two sets of Knight Armor, one of which has a punctured chest plate, and fifteen sets of Heavy Cavalry Armor can be assembled…”
