The final battle between the two territories ended like the snow in early spring, disappearing without a sound.

Seeing another group of new people arriving, the residents were used to it. However, the guards in charge had Thomas' instructions and did not make things more difficult for the 100 people. They just arranged for them to enter the construction site to work normally.

On the other side, in the headquarters of the Knights of the Round Table, in a room.

Thomas and Byron sat opposite each other. The restraining bracelet on Byron's hand had been removed and placed on the table.

"Mr. Byron, my men just sent word that the knights under your command have joined the construction site at the moment. They did not make any noise and did whatever they asked. It seems that you are managing well." Thomas is Chen Zan on the surface. In fact, it contains profound meaning.

Those one hundred elite knights were more loyal to Byron than Viscount Fast, which made Thomas have to care.

Byron and his hundred knights are different from the captured knights of Fastland. They betrayed Viscount Fast and surrendered. There is no possibility of going back, and the other territories will not take them in.

It can be said that except for the Arnold Territory, no one wants a group of knights who can rebel at any time, even if they are strong and an elite group of knights.

Of course, they could also escape here and become anonymous adventurers or bandits, but that would be an insult to the knight's honor.

Hearing the deep meaning hidden in Thomas' words, Knight Byron smiled lightly, "It's nothing, it's just that each of them got a little favor from me and they have been following me since then."

Thomas raised his eyes slightly. It was not something that could be done with just a little favor to make so many knights obey orders completely.

Immediately afterwards, Knight Byron told the whole story. Those one hundred knights had all suffered more or less oppression and humiliation from Viscount Fast or his men, and had already accumulated dissatisfaction and resentment. He had secretly helped them.

".So when I told them to rebel against Viscount Fast and join Baron Arnold, none of them objected."

Knight Byron finished speaking slowly and then closed his mouth. He knew in his heart that his group of people were not so easily trusted, but they were all sincere. They had nowhere to go, and they would even be stripped of their status as knights. title.

Thomas knew clearly in his heart. While he was aware of the opponent's situation, he still retained the last three points of caution. This was due to his responsibility to the territory and the lord.

He nodded and said: "Mr. Byron, due to your sensitive status, I cannot provide you with more convenience. I will make other arrangements after a while."

"Thank you, Mr. Thomas."

Knight Byron said sincerely. He hesitated for a while before speaking, "I don't know about my daughters."

Thomas smiled and said, "Don't worry, they are in a safe place. If you are worried, I will give you the address later and you can go and see for yourself."

"Thank you. I'm relieved that they are fine. In that case, please ask Mr. Thomas to arrange work tasks for me."

Byron thanked him immediately. As for the subsequent work tasks, it was the deal they had made in the correspondence. Arnold would not give shelter without reason.

Afterwards, Thomas handed a special hat to Byron and said, "Your job content is very simple, which is to supervise and pay attention to problems that occur on the construction site. Marvin will inform you of the specifics."

Knight Byron took over the white hat made of iron helmet and fell into silence.

"Oh, by the way, take this document with you. It has the lord's approval on it. If someone checks your identity, show this to him." Thomas took out another square object and handed it over.

Hearing this, Byron was shocked. This move was tantamount to admitting to protecting him, and having the lord's personal approval was proof of this.

Such magnanimity!

On the other hand, Viscount Fast, what the hell is that?

Knight Byron looked solemn, took it with both hands, and then performed a standard knightly salute to show respect.

"Mr. Thomas, please thank the lord for me, then I will go out." He said in a deep voice, and then left the room. Marvin had been waiting outside for a long time. He was ordered by Thomas to take Byron to the construction site.

Byron looked at the certificate in his hand and saw the word "Foreman" written on it. He was confused, what did "Foreman" mean? It seems that he is still an official, is it his own position?

He didn't think much, Marvin walked towards him, "Mr. Byron, do you want to go see your family first, or go to the construction site first."

"Go to the construction site, please Mr. Marvin."

"It's your duty, it doesn't have to be like this. Mr. Byron, please come with me. I will explain your work to you on the way."

The two walked side by side and walked out of the Knights of the Round Table headquarters.

After Abel's explanation, the rest of the Knights of the Round Table finally learned about the situation.

The daughter of the knight leader was almost persecuted in the Viscount Palace. Byron kept silent, but secretly contacted Thomas and reached many conditions, including "sending" a large number of laborers to work.

Therefore, in the following wars, the Byron Knights had a false relationship with Viscount Fast, and on the other hand, they secretly selected people loyal to Viscount Fast and sent them to the battlefield to consume the strength of the Viscount's men.

In the end, another decisive battle was played out, which completely made Viscount Fast despair.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. What kind of battle of honor is this? Viscount Fast was so miserable.

Abel finally warned: "Don't go looking for trouble in private, so as not to ruin Thomas's plan."

"What's the plan?" Anthony asked quickly. He suddenly felt that he was a lot stupider. He seemed to understand what he said, but he didn't seem to understand it.

Harvey frowned and said, "Mr. Thomas mentioned the security management agency before, it should be related to that."

"Mr. Thomas wants to recommend Byron?" Frank frowned. If this was the case, he still doubted Thomas's approach.

He is the enemy!

Even if he surrenders, it may be a conspiracy.

Creak.

At this time, the door of the Knights of the Round Table hall was pushed open, and Thomas, wearing a mighty armor, walked in with sonorous steps.

Facing Frank's question, he replied: "You should be able to see Byron's ability as a servant from those hundreds of knights. This is exactly the talent the Lord needs."

No one said anything, Thomas paused, and continued: "I know the worries in your hearts, and I have made a complete plan for this. If he really does something to disappoint me, I will deal with it personally and then report to him." Lord, please forgive me and remove me from all positions and quit the Knights of the Round Table."

Hearing this, everyone looked shocked, and Frank's face was even more complicated.

"Thomas."

Abel frowned and looked at him.

"Captain, this is my duty and my determination."

Thomas met Abel's gaze, and there was only determination in his eyes. He looked at everyone and said solemnly: "The Lord has put a lot of effort into the establishment of the new city. I am willing to shoulder the responsibility for maintaining the existence of the new city."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Everyone present followed him with their eyes. Anthony was confused. When Thomas's back disappeared from sight, he looked at the others, "Isn't the territory good now? Why do you say it is so serious? There is no need for Thomas to do it because of Byron." Take yourself."

Hearing his words, others had helpless looks on their faces, and Harvey said, "Why do you think the Lord wants to open a school?"

"Of course I know this. You told me, in order to cultivate talents." Anthony nodded.

"Well, thank you for remembering. The territory is developing too fast now, and there is a lack of talents for all aspects of management. Although the school can cultivate talents, it takes time. When the new city is built, this situation will become more and more obvious, so now every time we encounter A worthy talent is extremely valuable.”

After listening to Harvey's explanation, Anthony looked suddenly enlightened. After what happened just now, they realized the pressure Thomas was carrying.

——

Three days passed.

early morning.

Ron woke up early and went to the vegetable garden. He planted some sweet and edible plants. After looking around, they all grew well. Before leaving, he picked a fruit, washed it, and ate it. to the courtyard.

Then, he saw a horrifying scene.

I saw a man and a dog sitting face to face on opposite ends of the bluestone chessboard under the Miracle tree in the courtyard——

Playing chess? !

Needless to say, that dog is the legendary monster Fenrir, commonly known as Xiaobai.

And the person who played chess with Xiao Bai early in the morning was none other than Ron's personal maid, Miss Irene.

When he saw this scene, Ron rubbed his eyes stupidly, thinking he hadn't woken up.

He walked over and was quickly discovered by Xiao Bai.

"Woof!"

Eileen turned her head after receiving the signal from Xiaobai's cry, and found Ron approaching, with a look of surprise on her face, and immediately called out.

"Master!"

Ron came closer with a calm expression, thinking about the words to use, and asked: "What are you doing?"

"Master, can't you see? Xiaobai and I are playing backgammon." Irene replied matter-of-factly.

"Woof!"

"Well, let me ask another question, do you think a dog can play chess?" Ron asked again.

"But Xiaobai is very smart." Erin's expression became confused, as if she didn't understand the meaning of Ron's question.

"Woof!"

Hiss~

Ron felt a headache, and he noticed that Eileen's eyes seemed to be falling on the fruit in his hand. How could he pass the fruit over without knowing what she was thinking.

"Now, I'll give you some."

Erin's eyes sparkled, and she quickly reached out to hold it, "Thank you, Master!"

"Woof!"

Ron stared. Every time Erin said a word, the dog barked. He didn't know what was going on.

After receiving such a glare from him, Xiaobai's ears drooped down and his tail stopped wagging.

He didn't pay attention, his eyes fell on the chessboard, and after a quick glance, black was about to win, and white wasn't too bad either.

Ron knew Irene's chess skills, and it was pretty good to be able to defeat the intelligent monster Fenrir.

I don’t know how long Eileen and the others have been training Xiaobai, but his chess skills are almost at the level of a primary school student.

Eileen took a bite of the fruit and said to Xiaobai opposite: "Xiaobai, it's your turn, hurry up."

Then, Ron saw Xiaobai using his dog paw to move a black stone onto the chessboard, and finally connected it into five pieces.

His face froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Was it Xiaobai who had the black spot? !

"Oh, I lost again. Xiaobai is really good, don't you think so, Master." Irene stuck out her tongue and said.

Ron looked at her with an inexplicable look, "As long as you're happy."

At this time, Egbert came over in a hurry and saw a dog sitting on the chessboard playing chess. He was stunned for a moment, then saluted Ron and reported: "Your lord, Viscount Fast sent a messenger to the house to request an armistice. .”

The living room on the north side of the mansion.

Ron summoned the messenger from Fast Territory, who was also a close associate of Viscount Fast.

"It is my honor, Page, to see the noble face of Lord Baron Arnold." The messenger saluted.

Ron was not interested in this, "There is no need to say flattery. Since Viscount Fast wants a truce, Arnold can accept it."

Hearing this, Page couldn't hide the joy on his face. The Viscount gave him a death order, but he didn't expect it to be completed so easily.

"However, you have to bear the losses caused by Arnold's territory. This is reasonable." Ron showed a harmless expression.

"ah?"

Page was stunned, and after thinking for a long time, he didn't know what kind of losses the Arnold Territory had suffered. Wasn't it always the one who gained?

"Tsk, it seems that you are very unwilling to do so. Then forget it. You go back and tell the Viscount that we can continue fighting. We must not let this battle of honor be insulted in the slightest." Ron said nonchalantly.

But it startled Page, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "The Baron misunderstood, we will definitely compensate you for your losses, and we will discuss it with my master when we get back."

Before he finished speaking, Ron's dissatisfied voice sounded, "The Viscount seems to have no sincerity. It seems that this battle will have to continue."

"No more discussion, no more discussion. Lord Baron, let's just talk about what needs to be compensated."

"Haha, Viscount Fast is really sincere. Okay, let's talk about it. Someone, give Mr. Page tea."

Ron waved his hand, and the originally clean table was filled with tea and snacks, plus a stack of receipts filled with compensation.

At this moment, Page's heart felt extremely cold. He raised his eyes and looked at Ron, "Baron, this..."

"Or else."

"I sign, I sign!"

Finally, Page signed the compensation document, got into the carriage and left in despair.

"Will Viscount Fast really pay compensation according to the above? I have calculated the assets of the Fast Territory. If full compensation is really made, it may shake the foundation of the Fast family. This is no different from continuing to fight." Rosalind asked doubtfully. She was particularly sensitive to money and assets, so she asked this question.

It was Joyce who answered her, "Of course not. The signature signed by the gentleman just now has little effect. In the end, the decision will be left to Viscount Fast. We have fully stated our attitude, and the other party will definitely continue to send people." If we come to negotiate, the initiative will always be in our hands."

Ron nodded appreciatively and looked at Joyce, "I'll leave the rest to you. I won't show up again."

There are still too few people who can be put into use. Joyce and Rosalind are the two most worthy of training. It would be good to let them handle this matter and gain experience.

"Yes, Lord Lord."

The two of them accepted the order at the same time.

Fastland, Viscount Mansion.

Viscount Fast took the compensation money brought back by Page, his eyes widened, and his rich body trembled with anger.

Page in front also trembled, he was afraid.

"Fifty thousand war horses? Two million kilograms of grain? Five million gold coins! And what's behind this, he wants to empty out my Fast family!"

Viscount Fast finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "Impossible! There is no way I can accept it."

"Lord, we don't have the troops to continue fighting. If the other party continues to fight, what can we do to resist it?"

After hearing this, Viscount Fast's face changed for a while, and he gradually calmed down. Page secretly glanced at his face, and said while the iron was hot: "Besides, I think the amount above is not non-negotiable."

Viscount Fast looked at him suddenly, and Page was nervous and explained: "For example, Baron Arnold asked for these 50,000 horses. We all know that the Arnold territory is not suitable for raising horses, and their total number is not that large. , these war horses will only cause more trouble if they go over."

Upon hearing this, Viscount Fast's eyes lit up, "Oh? What do you mean?"

"That's right! We have room for detours! The compensation mentioned here is all a ploy by the Baron!"

Paige smiled confidently and said.
