Chapter 93: post war
It turns out that Willy's prediction was correct.
In the following month, Dibane and Selvin, as well as their three other knight partners, also pushed back the garrison in the adjacent town of Long Eagle, the Duchy of Wata, to their own town with lightning speed. At the edge of the town, the entire defense line outside Changying Town basically collapsed.
Since then, Baron Kells' worries about Diamond Town have completely dissipated. Exchange of a snow-patterned deer for the support of five senior knights for a month is a good deal for both him and Count Rumbar.
After the five strong knights returned to the main battlefield, the situation also stabilized, and Willy at the border was transferred back to Diamond Town.
This time, Willy was greeted by a new identity, the vice-captain of the Guards Department in Diamond Town.
The status is only under Ole.
This short trip to the border has accumulated enough capital for Willy.
Under the special package of Baron Kells, Willy led the Diamond Town Guard, heroically repelled the enemies of the Principality of Wata, and the story of the glorious first war was spread to every corner of Diamond Town. Of course, things related to several high-level knights were hidden away without a trace.
At this time in Diamond Town, the name Willy Phelan was hotly discussed by almost everyone, and at the same time, his origin was also widely known.
Baron Kells also took this to establish a country young man invisibly. Through his efforts, he became a progressive image of a high-ranking official under the aristocracy, which made the young people in Diamond Town regard Willy Phelan as their idol at the same time. .
In this regard, Baron Kells' brainwashing operation was a great success.
Along with Willy, the captains of the Diamond Guards at the border were also transferred back, but their identities after their return were very intriguing when they were placed by the baron. For example, Rickel, he became the honorary deputy mayor of Diamond Town, and so did the rest of the people. They were all assigned positions that seemed to have high status, but had little real power.
At the current border, there are only two people left, Kress and Wieburn, who command a guard of less than 300 people.
For all this, discerning people are very clear that this is Baron Kells and Ole using strong pressure to pave the way for his successor, Bamos.
"Captain, this is the latest list of the personal soldiers. Take a look at it."
In Willy's private office, Sandor handed over a document to Willy.
Sandor and Dahn benefited from the opportunity to perform in the early stage of the establishment of the Bamos team. After returning to Diamond Town, they both became mid-level officers in the Guards Department and served as Willy's deputy.
"Well…"
Willy responded, then glanced at random, and placed it on the table.
Since being promoted by Baron Kells as the vice-captain of the Guards, Willy has clearly found that Ole's visits to the Guards Office have become less and less frequent, and more affairs have been handed over to Willy.
This is a process of gradually delegating power, which allows Willy to slowly build up his prestige in the GI.
But now Willy is not very enthusiastic about it.
Since seeing Dibane and Selvin's actions, his desire to practice Frost Knight's breathing has become stronger and stronger.
This time, the border finally let Willy know why, under repeated oppression by the nobles, the commoners still choose to live on their knees. It's not that they don't want to resist, but that the number becomes weak and weak under the extraordinary power.
Even Willy is guessing that in the main battlefield of this battle between the two countries, perhaps the winner is a higher-level extraordinary power.
"In the future, you and Dahn can take care of such trivial matters, so you don't need to trouble me."
Willy said to Sandor.
Sandor responded and walked out the door. His head is high, his waist is straight, the beard on his face has been cleaned again, and the whole person looks very majestic.
Now Sandor and Dahn have also become upstarts in Diamond Town, and are attracted by many businessmen and officials.
"It's really troublesome..."
Willy rubbed his temples. Due to the delay of too many trivial matters, the practice of Frost Knight's breathing technique progressed much more slowly.
According to the original plan, the current self should achieve at least 80% of the progress, but now, it is only 70%. Don't look at the gap of only 10%, in the later stage of the practice of breathing method, this achievement represents a huge gap.
"It's time to return to Fandoutun."
Willy pondered inwardly as he listened to the cold wind howling outside the house.
This year's cold winter came earlier than before. It was just the beginning of winter, and some people were already wrapped in cotton-padded coats. According to past experience, this will be a particularly difficult winter. Nobles and rich people can use the stove to keep warm, but the commoners can only burn some firewood, and the means of keeping out the cold are too poor.
Coupled with the scarcity of food in winter, many poor people may not be able to withstand the devastation of this winter.
Thinking of this, Willy suddenly felt a little fortunate. If it wasn't for his presence, the Phelan family would be worried about this imminent problem.
Willy stood up, picked up the quill in front of him, dipped it in ink, and began to write a leave letter to the baron.
Now Willy has no obstacles in terms of reading and writing.
"What's the reason... I wrote it truthfully, my knight breathing technique has reached a bottleneck."
Willy is very clear that Baron Kells will definitely approve this reason. He knows better than himself that Diamond Town needs a high-level knight-level combat force more than a diligent official.
After writing the letter, Willy wrapped his coat and walked out of the office. Even if there was a leave letter, he had to make a trip in person.
…
Pan Dou Tun.
"Lord Tunchang is back!"
As soon as Willy entered Fandoutun on horseback, some seven or eight-year-old children shouted loudly, all with reverence in their eyes.
Willy Phelan, the name has spread throughout the entire Diamond Town, including Fandou Tun.
Now when the settlers of Pandou Village go out, they will unconsciously mention that they are the settlers of Weili. Whenever they say this, they will get envious glances from others.
As the upstart of Diamond Town, Fandoutun, a subordinate of Weili, will definitely become rich in the future. As the first batch of old people in Fandoutun, they will also thoroughly enjoy all the dividends of the development of Fandoutun.
"Mr. Tunchang."
Even in the cold winter, Old Yoel still insisted on patrolling in Fandoutun, and he would reprimand those who were not serious about their work, or who were lazy and idle.
When he heard Willy come back, he trotted all the way, regardless of his old bones.
