Chapter 1650 Joan's Trophy
As a general second only to Baron Laval on the battlefield, Logan Volsunger led the Volsunger Corps to fight hard to defeat the powerful hill giant mercenary group. He also contributed a lot, but he was an indigenous man after all. If this Asa was elected as the number one hero in the war, it would inevitably give people the impression that the colonists of Midgard could defeat the Fizen invaders only with the help of the aborigines.
In this way, wouldn't the colonial government and the military lose face?
Baron Laval is not suitable, and Logan Volsunger is not suitable. Governor Nichols thought about it, and had no choice but to put the nominal supreme commander in the front headquarters, who actually only served A central coordinator, Sir Dantridge Custis, went up and described being the chief hero of the war.
Not long after, the imperial authorities issued a commendation. Lord Custis was conferred the title of "Count of Aosta" by Emperor Charles IV. His legendary deeds spread from the New World to the Old World, and he became the first war hero active in the colonies known to many native residents of the empire—although The old man is struggling even to walk now, and he has long been unable to be "active".
The credit should have been attributed to him, but because of the scandal, he made Lord Custis cheap—now that he has been promoted to "Count", how will Baron Laval feel?
No one knew what this man was thinking, but everyone could see that Baron Laval's face seemed to be more gloomy and indifferent than before.
...
Joan had also heard about Baron Laval's discussions.
In his opinion, summoning demons to aid in battle is not a big deal at all. He doesn't understand why people make such a fuss, and even thinks it is a "stain" of Baron Laval.
If summoning demons on the battlefield is considered a taint, then Joan Vida turned into a monster like the twelve cold snake lizards to participate in the battle, and killed and injured many enemies, wouldn't he also be classified as a "beast"?
However, so far, no one has come forward to criticize him for doing something wrong.
Qiao An felt that this might be because he was just a small person and did not belong to the social circle of the upper class. In addition, the group of "mages" belonged to the aliens in the eyes of the public. No matter what shocking things he did, people would not think Accident.
As for Baron Laval, because he was born in a famous family and held a high position, he was inevitably hated by others, and was placed under the "magnifying glass" by his opponents to find fault.
Even so, "summoning demons" and "colluding with demons" should not be hastily equated.
For example, Joan called out the little devil from the bottomless abyss more than once out of the need for magic research, but in his eyes, the devil was just a prey to squeeze the material for casting, and he didn't make any evil deals with the devil.
Joan had personally witnessed Baron Laval summoning demons on the battlefield. Judging from the situation at the scene, the black ring on Baron Laval's hand was probably attached to some kind of high-level summoning spell. Anyone who wears this ring, Inspire the magic power in the ring, and you can summon an iron cavalry guard to fight for you.
Using a magic weapon in war is like killing an enemy with a sword. There is no distinction between good and evil in the weapon itself. It cannot be proved that Baron Laval is a demon believer. This logic is not difficult to understand.
As long as Baron Laval makes a public statement explaining the matter clearly, the statements made by the Jotunheimer Zeitung, which try to discredit him, will be self-defeating.
However, for some unknown reason, Joann did not wait for the report of Baron Laval to publicly clarify the matter. Thinking of the fact that Baron Laval is getting closer and closer to the "Conquer Order" recently, Joann couldn't help but have doubts. Could it be that What is the Baron Laval hiding?
Thinking about this matter carefully, Qiao An hurriedly dispelled those not-so-good guesses.
In any case, Baron Laval was his immediate boss and the pillar of Midgard's military. During the war, everyone was suspicious and lost mutual trust, but he fell into the trap of Fierce.
After the Battle of Lake Aosta, the Cornwallis Corps was defeated all the way to the north and withdrew to Linyuanbao a week later.
While relying on the fortress to guard against death, General Cornwallis also sent a letter of appeal to Governor Winthrop of New Avalon.
Although the Midgard side had won the battle, the troops suffered heavy casualties. They were unable to conquer the well-defended Linyuan Castle in one go, so they had to retreat to Midgard City to rest and replenish their troops to prepare for the next decisive battle.
Joan also took advantage of this rare truce to return to school, reported to Professor Moriarty about his service experience, and then went into the laboratory to sort out the research materials he had collected on the battlefield.
This time Joan brought back a total of four trophies, including two blood samples collected from the hill giant Todd Fang and the "Nine-Headed Troll" Scala, in addition to his four destroyed " The elemental essence and some wreckage collected in the "Flesh Golem" - used to analyze the construction principle of this kind of golem.
Joan first came to analyze the blood sample of the hill giant Todd.
The lifespan of a hill giant is as high as 200 years, but due to unhealthy eating habits and obsession with violence, few hill giants can reach the end of their lives. If the accidental death data is also included, the average lifespan of a hill giant is only 120 years old.
Even if measured by the standard of 120 years old, Todd, who is not yet 30 years old, can only be regarded as a teenager in the society of the hill giant. Cry.
But from another point of view, this guy has a body that is so strong that it is almost abnormal, and his strength and physical attributes are all far beyond the average level of an adult hill giant. De also has an extraordinary professional level of up to level 10, and this fat man can only be described as "genius"!
Just imagine, if Todd lived to adulthood safely, and after his body was fully developed, the three major physical attributes would definitely improve and become stronger than they are now.
As for Todd's "Barbarian" professional level, if he is predicted based on his current progress rate, then in more than 20 years, when he turns 50 and officially enters adulthood, even if he has not been promoted to "Legendary Barbarian", "Soldier" is only a thin line away from the legendary realm.
"Todd has great potential!"
While observing the blood samples, Joan secretly rejoiced that he had picked up a treasure.
It is gold that always shines. Although Todd is not very smart, it is not a serious shortcoming in the community of hill giants, and his super talent in physical fitness and martial arts practice will definitely make him a leader among the tribe. stand out among them.
