Lord of the North

A few days after that battle ended, Earl Hicks did not continue to attack the Barea Pass, and he did not know what conspiracy he was planning.

Moreover, General Cecil, who he loved and hated, did not appear in his military tent again.

At the same time, Jason also learned about the situation of the battle that day. He held the letter Hassan handed him, and pinched his eyebrows in thought.

He doesn't think that Leonidas did something wrong. In that case, this is the best solution. Otherwise, it will not only be these hundreds of innocent civilians who will suffer the disaster. By then, the three northern provinces under Jason's control will be destroyed. Will fall into an even greater disaster, when nearly a million civilians will be exposed to the butcher knife of Earl Hicks' 50,000 army without any cover.

It's just that it's not certain whether other people think so, such as Gareth who is full of resentment now.

"Your Highness, General Leonidas' actions have really gone too far." It was hard for him to accept that Leonidas did such a cruel thing. Hundreds of superpowers actually killed a group of civilians.

This is intolerable to the chivalry he has insisted on since he was a child.

"Then what do you think they should do in that situation?" Jason raised his head and glanced at him lightly, then asked calmly.

"he……"

Gareth couldn't answer Jason's question, and his expression was a little embarrassed. After hearing about Leonidas' performance at the Barea Pass, he ran to Jason very angry. As for the situation at that time, he ignored it. .

He blushed and whispered, "Then he can't do anything to those civilians..."

"If it were you, what would you do?" Jason put down the letter in his hand and leaned back on his chair tiredly. He got the news that the Third Heavy Armored Corps would arrive in less than a week. On the banks of the Morning River.

"Even if I sacrifice myself, I will save those civilians!" Gareth replied firmly.

Jason could tell from his eyes that this was indeed what he really thought in his heart. Although it was commendable, Jason was not satisfied. He sneered: "Then let me ask you again, if you die, what will happen after you die?" What should we do about the Baria Pass? What about the thousands of soldiers in the Baria Pass? If your decision leads to the fall of the Baria Pass, how will the safety of the hundreds of thousands of civilians in the north be guaranteed? And who will you rely on? To save it?"

"this……"

"Benevolence is not wrong, but it doesn't seem to be suitable for us now." Jason sighed, are all these knights like this? It's also too brain-dead.

Fortunately, Leonidas persuaded Roland, otherwise, I don't know what troubles would happen. He really deserves to be a man who has sat on the throne.

"I see, Your Highness."

Gareth seemed a little disappointed. Why is the chivalry he once insisted on and proud of now inappropriate?

"Back off."

Jason waved his hands a little tiredly. He is now worrying about how to meet the tide of negative public opinion that will follow.

This will lead to a shift in the mentality of a large number of nobles who remain neutral and wait-and-see in this battle for the throne. After all, these nobles who think highly of themselves value reputation very much.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Gareth left in a daze, and Lan Maloch, who had been standing aside without speaking, also saluted Jason respectfully, and then followed Gareth's pace.

"Your Highness, Sir Gareth is still a bit immature, but time will allow him to settle down." Hassan didn't speak until everyone had left.

"I always thought you had a bad relationship with them." Jason didn't look up, and replied lightly, but it made Hassan a little startled and uneasy.

It seems that Jason is not unaware of some of their private actions, such as some conflicts between him and the Knights of the Round Table faction.

"I'm not worried about Gareth, but my brother Wang. This poisonous plan is definitely not something he can come up with. Is that member of the Hundred Clans called Sandra?" Jason didn't wait for Hassan to answer or Explain, but continue to speak on their own.

"Yes, Your Highness, according to the information we have obtained, that is a member of the Holy Spirit Clan. The specific strength is unknown, but it should not be lower than the Earth Knight." Hassan heaved a sigh of relief and replied respectfully.

"Hundred Clans, I hope you don't provoke those paranoid lunatics from the Holy See."

As everyone knows, after the magic swordsman killed those templar knights, some eyes from the Holy See have already focused on the chaotic land in the north.

It's just because of the restlessness of the hundreds of clans in the Talun Mountains and the imminent movement of the dark blue cross in the south, the Holy See is worried about allocating part of its energy to the north.

Seeing Jason's helpless look, Hassan said again: "Your Highness, although Earl Hicks has damaged your reputation through this method, but in other words, he also ruined his own reputation. We can also target this point." Spread negative news about His Royal Highness Phil, after all, we have the mercenary union in our hands, so we have an advantage in creating rumors."

"I'll leave this matter to you." Jason opened his eyes suddenly. Although this may not be effective, it is still a solution.

On the other side, after leaving Jason's side, Lan Maloch quickly caught up with Gareth and walked shoulder to shoulder with him to his residence.

"Lan Malocco, do you think I was wrong?" Gareth asked a little confused.

"Maybe."

Lan Maloch shrugged. In fact, he didn't understand whether Gareth's insistence was right or wrong. He is not an intelligent talent. It is okay to let him lead the army to fight. If he is a life mentor, he is not good enough. Not a lot.

His indifferent look made Gareth roll his eyes, and only he could say such a heartless answer.

Lan Maloch didn't pay attention to Gareth's small movements, he put his hands behind his head, and continued: "Gareth, you don't need to think so much, we came into this world to help Your Highness wipe out the enemies, we just It is enough to know where the enemy is."

"However, I still have a hard time accepting it."

"Then I can't help it. Why don't you wait for that guy Lancelot to come back and go to him to enlighten yourself."

Lan Maloch scratched his head. Lancelot was sent by Jason to surprise the town of Nora with an army of 3,000. As a senior, he didn't know how to teach Gareth, but this kind of thing seemed to be still Merlin has the most experience.

He doesn't know much about this kind of truth.

"Actually, you just think too much." In the end, he could only say ambiguously, imitating the inscrutable expression of Merlin when he taught them.
