Chapter 238: Military Achievements and Glory

The servants kept clearing the empty plates and bowls on the table, and one portion of food after another was swept away in front of Leon.

The kitchen boiler was turned on high, and I almost thought that the knights were going to hold a banquet in the house.

After showing off enough food for a large table of strong men, Leon collapsed comfortably on the chair, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and burped without any image.

Anyway, there were brothers around him, so he didn't care about knightly etiquette.

The two people on the side had seen Leon eating a lot after special training in Selva before, but today's horrible amount was so scary that even Lohak, who had a huge appetite, was a little scared.

He gestured with his hands to measure the approximate volume of what Leon had just eaten, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his belly that was flat.

"Holy Prophet, I really want to know where all the food you eat goes? Even if you fill your stomach and intestines, you can't put so much food in there, right?"

"Leon is a magician, maybe everything he eats is digested into some kind of magic energy?" Azerien held his chin and guessed randomly.

He has always liked reading. He borrowed the Feru language magic book that was said to be written by Ms. Lola in the past. A while ago, he even took the time to learn some simple Lorelit language from Corvis. Although he did not have the talent to master magic, he also read some ancient books with simpler words in the tower.

"Maybe." Leon responded. He estimated that at least based on the magic knowledge he has mastered now, whether it is ordinary people or spellcasters, or animals and monsters, they can take in more or less "magic elements" or nutrients that can help themselves produce magic elements from various foods in this world.

Whenever he was exhausted and on the verge of death, he needed to eat a lot. This should be the reason, although he had not seen the theory of replenishing magic through such exaggerated eating in the magic book.

Could it be more advanced "life science" content?

"Tsk tsk, so wizards poop less than ordinary people?" Lohak curiously pressed Leon's stomach.

Leon opened his arm unhappily: "We just finished eating, can you not talk about such disgusting topics."

After speaking, he shook his head, stretched his right hand behind his head to roll up his long hair, and asked the two to help him cut it short with a dagger.

With a click, he restored his medium-short hair, and Leon threw the cut hair into the brazier and burned it.

Patting the broken hair on his head, he finally felt refreshed.

After eating and drinking, although the injury on his chest was still painful, Leon didn't want to lie down again. After sleeping for so many days, his legs and feet really wanted to move.

"Where is the Deathclaw placed? Is it far from here? I want to visit it."

"Not far, just across the street where you are resting." Lohak replied.

Leon immediately got up and put on his coat. He saw that Azerien had specially put a short cloak on him and covered his broken arm diagonally, so he did not refuse.

Walking out of the house where many injured knights were recuperating, he came to the streets of the small town full of soldiers on guard. While chatting, he strolled past the main avenue of the town, and the ground shook slightly.

Leon looked up and saw a team of soldiers from the Kingdom of Orland escorting three "barbarian giants" about five meters tall and covered with scars, walking out of the city.

The barbarian giants had been stripped of their armor and weapons, and thick iron chains were tied around their limbs and necks, and each of them was guarded by several Knights of the Orland Arms.

Although their names contain the word "giant", they are not very similar to humans. They have no hair, thick limbs, and their bodies are covered with thorny hard skin. They only have four fingers, and their nails are sharp like claws. Their faces are closer to beasts than humans, and they have sharp teeth in their mouths.

Their intelligence is even lower, and they cannot be classified as humans at all. They are similar to wild goblins. Even the "quagmire troll" that Larian once hunted can be said to be a close relative of the wild giants.

In fact, even the name "wild giant" is only used in some extreme western regions such as Orland, Cantadar, and Uriah. In the legend of Serian, there is still a long tradition of calling them "cannibal trolls", because if left alone, humans are also on their menu.

Of course, these monsters that once fed on humans now seem to have been disciplined to rarely include humans in their hunting range, at least they will not take the initiative to attack human settlements.

Otherwise, they would have been killed to extinction by the knights like the quagmire trolls.

From this perspective, to some extent, the Savage Giants are smarter than other monsters. At least they have learned how to coexist with humans. Now, many of them will serve as mercenaries for the human army in exchange for food to fill their stomachs.

Obviously, the three surviving Savage Giants were also "employed" by the Kantardar army, but after being captured by the Orland army, they will soon put on different uniforms and fight for the northern army. Anyway, for the Savage Giants' dull and barbaric brains, as long as there is enough food, it doesn't matter which side of the human "fighting" they help.

Behind the team escorting the Savage Giant prisoners of war, there is also a convoy towing the spoils of war. Leon saw the huge tusks on the team's frame and judged that it should belong to Uriah's war elephants. He had seen the giant beasts of the Southern Army when he was scouting in the sky before.

Unlike the Savage Giants who would surrender voluntarily, once the Uriah war elephants were frightened, it would be difficult to appease them. Moreover, even if they were captured, the Orland people did not know how to tame these war elephants, so they could only kill them and take out the tusks.

Watching the cart dragging away six pairs of huge tusks that were either damaged or intact, Leon couldn't help feeling that he had indeed missed a battle. He had seen some land-traveling subspecies among his king's army. The dragon beast, unfortunately, was not able to witness the tactical application of the war beast by the North and South armies.

However, whether it is a barbarian giant or a war elephant, a manticore, a griffon, or even a powerful dragon beast, the ferocious war beast can play a decisive role in small and medium-sized battles, but in the two major battles in the north and south, Kingdom, on this battlefield with nearly 100,000 elites, thousands of knights collide, and the few monster units measured in number are still unable to influence the overall situation of the war.

The kings and lords of this land have long learned how to deal with monsters with claws and teeth in thousands of years of struggle.

After the Kingdom's army transporting the trophies walked across the avenue, the three of them continued walking towards the camp across the street, and happened to meet a knight from the Thorn Flower family.

"The Gods protect you, Lord Pendragon. It's great to see that you are okay. I think Lord Elliot will be very happy to know this news." The knight saw the leader Leon and greeted him quickly, and then also said to the others. The two saluted and said: "Say hello to you, Baron Ferrux and Sir Frarel."

The three of them returned the greetings to their colleagues. Leon looked back at the other person's back as he waved away, then turned his head and looked at Lohark in surprise: "Baron Ferrux?"

Lohak scratched his face: "I wanted to tell you later. Lord Elliot is so generous. He granted me the title during the celebration."

Azerien glanced, shook his head and explained to Leon: "His military exploits are not small. In the previous battle, I couldn't catch up with him. He rushed into the enemy formation alone like crazy, and killed five people in the formation." A knight of Cantadar, among whom there was even a baron of Cantadar, who also killed a His name was Uriah, the head of a hundred households. When I last saw him, the boy's armor was stained with blood so that the original color could not be seen. He was covered with stumps and scraps of flesh. He looked more like a demon than when he was possessed by a demon. He even had a long halberd and His sword was broken, and now everyone calls him the 'Red Knight' of Avalon."

"Hey, so awesome!?"

Leon looked at Lohark unexpectedly. He knew that his brother was getting stronger and stronger, but he didn't expect that he had grown to such an extent.

Lohak touched the scars hidden under his clothes, and didn't say much. He just sneered at Leon: "You're like that. Aren't I so angry? It just happened that we had old and new hatreds with those bastards. After all, thinking about it afterwards, I almost fell into it. If the army behind had not won the battle and rushed up, I might have died of exhaustion in the enemy's line. "

"Do you still know that you are reckless?" Azarian sighed complainingly, and then said to Leon: "He is really mad. After you were brought back, this kid secretly wiped his tears by your bedside every night. , he yelled at me ferociously during the day that he wanted to take revenge, and wished he could go to the Confederate camp alone. "

"Alas! Alas! When did I wipe my tears? Why are you talking nonsense?"

Rohark didn't expect that his sad look would be seen, and his face turned red with shame.

Leon felt warm in his heart, but then he thought about the funny look of this tall man secretly dropping the little pearl, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Silly boy, I'm not dead. Next time, wait until I'm actually buried before you cry."

"No, I'm not crying!" Lohak's expression became even more embarrassed when he heard this.

After Leon laughed, he raised his right hand and rubbed the big man's hair. Fortunately, he was not short, otherwise he would have to ask the other person to bow down and bend over like Laura.

He turned and said seriously: "Remember, you are not allowed to be so reckless in the future. Do you want Elena to lose your last family member? You have to ensure that you can live well in revenge. Even if I really die in the battle, if you dare to follow me, I will definitely slap you hard down there!”

"Oh." Lohak looked at Leon's serious eyes and could only nod obediently: "Remember."

While the three of them were talking, they finally walked to the courtyard where the griffons were placed. Several Avalon knights, including Hawke and Zabroon, were guarding it.

In the courtyard, there was a large, half-opened tent, and in the corner were piles of bloody horse bones that seemed to have just been chewed up and not yet transported away.

Deathclaw curled up, lying on the thick straw nest, sleeping soundly under the shade of the tent that sheltered him from the wind and rain.

Looking at the ointments applied all over the griffin's body, its wings fixed at a specific angle by giant brackets, and the wounds exposed under its fallen feathers, Leon felt worried as he looked at it.

This guy went to the battlefield for the sake of his friendship with me, and this time he really suffered a lot.

Even if it was not the fatal injury caused by being pierced by the giant rune crossbow like before, the deep and shallow battle wounds all over his body were definitely worse than the level of painful torture.

Leon remembered that Balfe once taught him not to have too much affection for the war horse, otherwise, one day he would be heartbroken because his old friend who had been accompanying him all year round died in the battlefield.

But after all, the Deathclaw is not his "mount", but a close friend who shares weal and woe. No matter what, he cannot ignore the harm the other party has suffered for him.

As soon as Leon approached, the griffin opened its eagle eyes. Not only did it smell a familiar scent, but after getting closer, their consciousnesses were re-established through contract magic.

Whispering softly, the giant beast saw its approaching companion and wanted to get up in joy.

Leon quickly stepped forward, squatted down and comforted the big guy's head: "Big Fatty, just lie down and don't stand up."

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

Being able to understand what his friend was thinking, Deathclaw leaned his head against Leon and closed his eyes.

Sitting on the straw bed, Leon used one hand to follow the feathers on the gryphon's neck that had been messed up by the enemy. He turned around and said to Rohark and Azerion: "If something happens in the army, you should go and do it first. I want to spend more time with the Deathclaw."

"Our army is being watched by Sir Filippo and the others. The army will have to wait two days for its return. Sir Earliver and the others are distributing the spoils to each family. It's nothing serious." Azarian shook his head.

"You are our biggest concern now, let's take a rest together." Lohak simply sat on the haystack with him.

Leon knew that they were not trusting him, so he did not persist. He turned around and leaned against the side of the griffon's neck. He breathed a long sigh of relief, half-lying and looking at the sky, and his consciousness relaxed.

Deathclaw squinted its eyes and moved its wings, trying to cover Leon, but the pain and the limitations of the brace forced it to use its forearm claws to gently rest on the opponent.

Patting the huge beast claws in front of him with his palms, Leon chatted lazily with Azarian and Rohark. After a while, he slowly became sleepy.

He didn't know how long he had been taking a nap against the gryphon, but he was woken up again by Rohark's gentle shaking.

".Wake up, the Earl is here."

Opening his eyelids, Leon saw outside the courtyard gate, his own lord, walking quickly with a few followers.

With the help of the two people beside him, Leon stood up, patted the straw behind his butt, and quickly walked out of the Death Claw tent to greet him.

".I heard you were awake, so I came over quickly to take a look."

Elliot smiled gently and said: "You are still so energetic despite being so seriously injured. It's true that the God of Death can't take you away. You are as tenacious as your gryphon."

"It was just a fluke. I thought I was dead." Leon paused and smiled bitterly at Fengjun: "I'm sorry, sir, but the sword you gave me was damaged in the battle."

Elliot smiled and waved his hand after hearing this: "Ha, what's the need to apologize? You let my sword be stained with the blood of a great knight. No matter for that sword or for me, this is It’s all an extraordinary honor, I can’t be happy enough.”

That was Valensis, the Peacock Knight who killed the Throne Dragon of the previous generation. Even though he was already in his twilight years, he still could not shake his world-famous reputation as a hero.

According to what Baron Kellan said, he saw with his own eyes that the Peacock Knight was not only seriously injured, but was also almost stabbed through the throat by Leon. This was not some drunk bragging about defeating a certain legendary knight.

There are even damaged Peacock Knight helmets and swords as evidence of this battle.

Their own gryphon knights have brought immeasurable fame to the Farolis family in the kingdom.

The Lord of the Thorn Flower glanced at the opponent's left arm that was covered by the cloak, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, kid, as long as the warlocks in the north have a way, no matter what the cost, I will definitely ask them to help you reattach your arm.

It's a pity that you missed the celebration banquet, but I have handed over the newly granted territory documents to you and the five thousand gold crown as a reward to Azarian.

What else are you missing? From what he said, it seems that your knights are still short of war horses? "

Leon was stunned by Feng Jun's eager attitude, and could only nod his head: "Yes, it is really difficult for me to buy a military horse at a reasonable price in Gray Shirt Valley."

"How much do you want?"

"Uh, eighty horses."

"Eighty horses? How is this enough? Isn't your knighthood full of 500 people?"

"I will give you three hundred fine Uriah horses." Elliot raised his right hand, then changed it to his left hand, and patted Leon on the right shoulder.

This Leon was a little overwhelmed by Fengjun's atmosphere.

What he lacks is "military horses".

But if the master did not make a mistake, he was talking about "war horse".

These two words in the Ferru language do not refer to horses of the same grade.

Leon beamed with joy, his cheeks were a little stiff. Is this the reward of outstanding military service?

It's so cool. Not only do you not have to spend any money on expensive horses, you can also get three or four times the price.

The monarch and his ministers had a pleasant conversation.

That night, we also had dinner with everyone.

The next day.

After Leon finished breakfast, he planned to continue visiting Death Claw.

But he saw the envoy sent by Ledwin III and invited himself to meet the king.

Leon was slightly stunned, as if he vaguely understood why Feng Jun was so affectionate yesterday, even to the point of feeling numb.
