Brian actually wanted to hand over the command of the Landsburg army to Victor.

This order completely shocked Knight Hawke and Victor. From Victor's point of view, he and Brian had just met today and had no idea of ​​their own strength.

Brian suddenly handed over the command of the army into his own hands. This kind of trust was truly unparalleled.

Victor was surprised because Duke Horsman did not say in advance that he would recommend Victor to Brian.

Duke Horsman was worried that Brian would not reuse Victor, which would create a psychological gap in Victor and cause a rift between the two.

If the assignment was forced, Brian would have a rebellious mentality, so the wily Duke Horsman left all the decision-making power in Brian's hands, and he only provided some opinions.

Brian, who is quite self-aware, decided to follow the good advice and let professionals do professional things. He could not be like a certain micro-management master who dictated to the army from thousands of miles away, causing the army to be defeated and flee.

Of course, Victor didn't know all this, so when his new boss trusted him so much, Victor showed the simplest spirit of knights in this era, and a man will die for his confidant.

There was no impassioned speech of allegiance to Brian, but at this moment Victor swore in his heart that as long as Brian accepted his allegiance, he would never betray Brian.

Of course, just because Bryan handed over the command of the army did not mean that he did not plan to go to the battlefield. In order to make his division famous, Bryan was still the nominal supreme commander of Lanesburg, and even planned to charge with the soldiers.

Anyway, Brian believed that with his current strength, no one in Count Merovingian's army could kill him in one move.

Moreover, Brian is not only an intermediate knight, but also a junior magician. Although he has not yet become a disciple of the great magician, it is not convenient for his identity to be exposed.

But Brian's safety on the battlefield is much better than that of warriors who only know how to fight.

Even if there was an accident and Brian was captured, Count Merovingian would not dare to harm Brian. Duke Horsman spent some money to redeem himself. He didn't even have to spend any money, as long as he got rid of the debt of tens of thousands of gold coins.

That's it

Therefore, in Brian's opinion, there is almost no risk in going to the battlefield.

Now that the general combat strategy has been decided, let them go back to camp, prepare their own teams, and return to Landsburg tomorrow.

Horton's knights and Victor immediately took the order and left. Horton's knights were lucky. They only had 40 guards and had nothing to prepare. However, Victor's mercenary group had more than 200 people and a lot of things, so they still had to be busy.

Ichiban.

Brian was not idle either. He directly found a housekeeper and offered to take Bonnie away. Naturally, the housekeeper would not stop him. He even promised to help pay your salary at the Duke's Mansion, but it was difficult to deliver it to Bonnie.

Go up and be led by Bonnie's father.

Bonnie didn't have any objections to this, but was very grateful to the housekeeper. It is said that their whole family is serving the Duke, and the salary is not low, but Bonnie's younger brothers and sisters are much younger, and this salary is also quite helpful to their family.

.

Of course, Bonnie was most grateful to Brian and was looking forward to tomorrow's trip. However, Brian did not let Bonnie read a bedtime story at night. Instead, he sat at the desk and stared at the map, holding a quill on it.

I was drawing strokes, not knowing what to do.

The next morning it was still sunny and there was no sign of rain. Brian had breakfast and changed into new clothes. Horton Knight and Victor came one after another. They had organized their team and were ready to set off at any time.

The housekeeper also prepared the supplies and horses promised by Duke Persman, and they were escorted by Victor's mercenaries.

Otherwise, he nodded and asked them to take the team outside the city first, and he would come later.

Brian then went to say goodbye to Duke Horsman. Duke Horsman did not express any sadness at his son's departure. Instead, he encouraged his son with a look of relief to win the war and seize a territory of his own.

What else can Brian say to this now?

Of course, he was pretending to be confident to reassure his father.

Duke Horsman, otherwise he should quickly recruit troops after returning to Espoo. In his opinion, it will take less than two days for the king's document allowing the war to be sent to Lansburg, and then it will be time for Brian to send troops.

.

Although Brian also wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible, he wasn't sure if the levies from Lanesburg could be summoned within two days.

These people may not necessarily be able to ride a horse, and even if they are able to ride a horse, they will not be able to use the magic crossbow smoothly. They all need simple training, which will take at least half a month. If they are not able to use their arms and fingers at the same time, at least there will be no accidents.

For such a long time, Count Morrowen knew that a war was going to break out even though he was a fool. After all, he was a count and had people in the capital, so he would definitely be prepared in advance.

This is contrary to Brian's idea of ​​a quick solution, but life will be unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, and there is nothing you can't do without a plan.

On the way back, Brian did not ride in a carriage, but on a horse. He experienced the feeling of long-distance marching in advance.

Of course, the most important thing is to get acquainted with the mercenary group, chat a little on the road, and learn about their origins, and the most important thing is the origins of the thirty or so fighting spirit knights.

As expected, most of the thieves were actually from small and medium-sized nobles. Like Victor, they were all second sons with some abilities, but they could not inherit the unique taste of their fathers, so they got together to create a new one.

career.

Therefore, they all had a great impression of Brian, the second son of the Horsman family. Although they did not swear allegiance to Brian after two days of contact, at least they had a good impression of their new boss.

When Brian left the city of Dapest, the Duke's Palace sent gryphon knights to inform Lansburg of the date when Bryan and the others might return, so none of the nobles who were stranded in Lansburg did not leave.

Mrs. Flitwick and Mayor House only sent people to cooperate with Asaman's engineers to draw the design drawings of the aqueduct, while they themselves stayed in the castle waiting for Brian's return.

Two days later, when Brian's team appeared outside the city of Lansberg, all the nobles and powerful men were waiting outside the city gate to greet their lord, just like when Brian arrived at Lansberg for the first time.

When the nobles of Lansberg saw that Brian had returned to Lansberg this time, in addition to more than 500 horses and equipment, he only brought back more than 200 mercenaries. It was impossible not to be disappointed.
