He silently communicated with the system in his mind, "Please help me review the current total number of troops and other conditions:
You have three level 5 Swadian Iron Knights, with Xiao Ming as the captain.
You have 10 level 4 tavern mercenary knights, with Xiaonan as the captain.
You have 4 Tier 2 Tavern Hire Veterans, without a commander, in the town of Uxhall, acting as gate guards.
You have three special characters, Dragon Mother Safiya (Friendliness 42), Merchant Manide (Friendliness 55), and the captive Nayan Tulu.
After deducting the recent food and troop hiring expenses, plus the war income, the total remaining dinar is 1,200. I did not make a mistake in the calculation. You really only have that much left. You gave me 7,500 before~~~
Hmm, not bad. De La Serre thought that he would be able to gradually become wealthy by relying on the grape business operation in the future, so he was not too worried about the current financial situation.
But King Harlaus is so rich, maybe... Why not? Give it a try...
He came to his senses and continued to the king:
"Your Majesty, thank you for your generosity! I really want to invite you again, to enjoy a sumptuous dinner in Uxhall! When I have money, I will invite you in person!"
King Harlaus was a smart man and understood it immediately. He cursed the baron in his heart, saying that the damn guy was playing tricks. He had studied the art of language to perfection.
"I was in a hurry when I set out, and I didn't bring much money or food with me. But I think this bag of gold coins should be enough for you, De Lassel. Just consider it as my reward to you." After saying that, the king slowly untied a bag from his waist and handed it to the attendant beside him. The attendant offered it with both hands and presented it to De Lassel.
System prompt: This bag of gold coins is worth 1,500 dinars. Congratulations, there are currently 2,700 dinars left.
Seeing that this trick worked, De La Serre was ready to perform a hat trick and score three goals! He wanted to get some more benefits back.
Just as he was about to continue speaking, the king interrupted him and said:
"Okay, I'm a little tired. You should leave, De Lacel. I don't think you can help in the next battle. Go back to Uxhall as soon as possible and defend your territory."
"This... King, I have something else to report to you. You should know that the enemy has a terrifying grass
The original Valkyrie."
"How could we not know? Not only our kingdom, but all the kingdoms on the Calradia continent have heard of this name. What's wrong?"
"She hopes to have a negotiation with you before the war begins."
"Okay, I understand... Now you can leave." The king was lost in thought and waved his hand to signal De La Serre to leave.
The words of the Valkyrie Tianyan were also conveyed, and now De Lassel felt relieved and had no worries at all. He immediately decided to return to Uxhall peacefully.
On the way back, seeing that Safiya was still silent and still angry and jealous, Ryan began to tease her and tried to cheer her up.
“Oh.”
Baron, you were so shameless in front of the king just now that I felt embarrassed. How dare you continue to speak
"What do you know? How much is your face worth? Without this bag of gold coins, where can I buy you milk and steak? You really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are!"
"Oh?"
It's obviously Safiya who is in charge, why are you arguing for the credit? Baron, you are really ignorant.
Hearing this, De La Serre seemed to understand its intention, and immediately changed his words:
"How can Safiya be called the head of the family!? She is... she is saving my life and your life. She is our benefactor, little guy."
“Ouch!”
Your life is a dog's life! Watch your attitude, Baron! I'm hungry now, and your head looks delicious to me!
"Safiya, it said it missed you. It missed the days of being in your arms and drinking milk. How about you hold it for a while longer?"
“Ouch!”
Damn, you dare to translate it wrongly! I will beat you up!
Ryan flapped his wings and deliberately knocked De Lassel towards Safiya beside him.
De Lassel understood what he meant and pretended to dodge in time. The moment he fell off his horse, he suddenly jumped up, hugged Safiya from behind, and rode on the same horse with her.
"Go down."
"I won't get off."
"Go down!"
"I won't get off! Ouch... It hurts so much!" Seeing that he was acting like a rogue, Safiya started twisting his ears.
"Baron, I heard you are a good singer~"
"I... I can do it a little bit. Ouch, my dear Princess Safiya, it really hurts..."
"Okay, then you
Sing me a song now, and I will let go of your ears. Sing me the same song you sang to the Queen, Ronnie."
De La Salle's ears hurt, so he couldn't remember the lyrics, so he could only make up something on the spot:
"The shaking red wine glass, the lips are like... like... You are so beautiful, Safiya, you are so beautiful... No matter how dangerous it is, I want to protect you... I want to monopolize your beauty!"
Although he sang intermittently, Safiya could tell that he was begging for mercy and trying to make her happy.
At this time, De Lassel hugged her hands from behind and hugged her tighter.
"Safiya, thank you so much for saving me. I will be nicer to you in the future."
"No, I didn't force you to be nice to me." Safiya replied, loosening her hand that was pinching his ear.
"I treat you well voluntarily. In fact, I, I like..." Just as the words were about to come out of his mouth, Ryan flapped his wings again and slapped the Baron down from the back seat.
"Ah." Seeing the baron fall to the ground in an awkward manner, Ryan grinned.
This back seat is mine. If you want to pursue her, you have a long time to spare, hahaha.
"Hey, you hit me so hard, Baron. Are you not hurt?" Seeing him rolling to the ground, Safiya became worried again.
"Yeah, I'm fine, I'm strong~" The Baron secretly put his injured arm behind his back and pretended to be calm.
But he cursed in his heart: You are so good, Ryan, when I return, I will add some laxatives to your steak and let you die of diarrhea on the green grassland...
The day passed quietly amidst the noise, and Xiao Ming, the newcomer, was also very happy and adapted to their relaxed and pleasant way of communication.
Three days later, the group finally returned safely to the town of Uxhall.
The old soldier who was hired by the tavern standing guard at the door recognized his master and his troops and greeted them:
"Good morning, my lord. As you can see, all is well and peaceful in Uxhall."
"Very good, continue to stand guard." De Lassel nodded slightly and led everyone back to the town.
At this moment, he looked at the little dragon Ryan who could already fly in the sky, and felt deeply moved:
Damn, you hatched from a dragon egg, and grew from a baby dragon to now. I am exhausted. Who knows how many stories will happen in the future...
