That's very badass

Chapter 145 Banquet and Accident

The time came to March 303 of the Anthropocene.

Since the establishment of the First Empire and the sweeping of the alien races, it has been called the first year of the Era of Humanity. This is not only recognized by the human race, but also expressed by other alien races.

It also means that it is at this time that the human race is stepping on the big stage of the hundred races.

And it has already stood on the top of all ethnic groups, confirming the status of the overlord.

Although the collapse of the empire was due to public dissatisfaction, no one denied its credit, so this year has been used until now.

The entire city has been decorated with family crests sewn long ago by the citizens.

In this season without flowers, this kind of decoration also brought a different aesthetic feeling to the territory, which was the recognition of Roland by the people in the territory.

For the foreign nobles, they felt a kind of shock.

People who say grapes are sour have existed since ancient times. In their view, this is the task assigned to the people by the lord's mansion.

There are smiling citizens everywhere, and they put out all the wine and food in their homes for the passing merchants or other foreigners to enjoy.

To express their love for the lord, this has also become a topic of ridicule and envy for the nobles, as if they have forgotten the shitty things they did in the territory.

At this time, there were already quite a few nobles in the city. They were also nobles from the northern border, and they did not have the arrogance to hold back time.

They either came by themselves, or sent their eldest sons to show their respect.

They gathered in twos and threes to chat on the street, enjoying the warm hospitality of the citizens, which made them feel comfortable.

The royal family also sent people, the Viscount Mandalay who was still on good terms with him, and the Osborne family sent Baron Leon.

All the northern nobles were present. As for the other nobles not coming, Roland was not surprised.

Their relationship was not good, and if they didn't come, they wouldn't come. Roland looked down on them, not to mention that their territories were far apart.

They couldn't even make it here at this point of time, of course Roland did it on purpose, because he didn't want to see this group of people, it would make him feel bad.

The nobles who sent the invitations were not notified a year and a half in advance, and of course these nobles would not lick their faces when faced with such an insincere invitation.

Maybe even yelling at someone in the territory.

None of these affected his mood. In fact, his citizens gave him a big face. These days, just listening to the sentiments of those nobles made him happy every day.

Of course, Viscount Whitnett and his wife were indispensable among them. At this time, they were surrounded by countless people and said some words of congratulations, which made him feel very beautiful.

Of course, there are reasons for Roland's title, the performance of him and the soldiers on the battlefield, and their alliance with the Carney family.

As for the rumors that Fox is still the subordinate of Earl Roland, Earl Roland has secretly controlled two territories and so on.

It's just that such words are regarded as rumors, and no one believes them, but anyone who says such words is ridiculed by others as a fool.

They only believe what they can believe and make sense.

In their view, Roland and Fox had a good relationship. After all, it was he who took back the territory with the help of Roland's soldiers. It was expected that they would form a military alliance.

It was noon.

Roland and his wife sat on the high platform in full dress, looking at the crowd below with a smile.

All the guests have taken their seats, and the entire lord's hall is full of people. They chat with each other in small groups, and from time to time they go to other tables to chat.

What could they talk about when they came here? Their topic could never revolve around the lord here. The men praised each other for Roland's military power.

The women were chatting about clothes and various jewelry. From time to time they looked at the lord's wife with envy, and they seemed eclipsed by her gorgeous clothes.

This of course aroused their dissatisfaction, and they even talked about the beauty of the dress like an egg. Women's jealousy is so unreasonable.

Among them were some daughters of the Viscount's family. They thought they were no worse than Vicky, and they wore extremely revealing clothes, earning a lot of attention nearby.

Because of their titles, they sat together, thinking that they were the woman worthy of Roland, and quarreled over it.

The loudness of his words caused the whole hall to fall into a moment of silence, and then a roar of laughter erupted, and they all looked at the Roland couple sitting on top with amused expressions.

At this time, Roland was under attack and felt the pain in his waist, which made him doubt whether all women were born with this trick.

As the servants filled all the tables with all kinds of meat and wine, the whole hall fell silent, waiting for the start of the banquet announced by the local lord.

Roland held his wife's hand and stood up directly, "First of all, thank you all for your kindness and being able to come here to attend the wedding of Miss Vicky and I.

You all came here ahead of time through the wind and snow, not much nonsense, we are both nobles in the north, we are one, let us toast ourselves for the first cup. "

"Respect to the nobles of the northern border!"

Everyone stood up one after another, cheered in agreement, and drank the first glass of wine. Seeing Roland continue to stand, they also fell silent.

I saw Roland continue to say: "To achieve today's achievements, the support from the Whitnet family is indispensable. They provided me with a resident when I only had a hundred soldiers.

Without the residence they gave me, I don't know where I would be wandering right now.

Of course, I also want to thank the Osborne family. They provided me with the first funds for the territory, and what I paid was only a promise, without vassal requirements and unequal treaties.

What I need to pay is to support the five thousand elite soldiers of the North Wind Fortress when the orcs attack.

Whether it is the Whitnet family or the Osborne family, no matter what their purpose is, they have given me much-needed help.

And they also have one characteristic in common with everyone here, that is, they are both northern nobles.

For the second cup, let us still respect the nobles of the northern border. "

As the words of respecting the nobles of the northern border sounded for the second time, the atmosphere of the crowd suddenly became heated. They no longer cared about their image, and uttered various shouts to kill the ale in their hands.

Because they had heard more or less about his and the Whinette family's dirty deeds, but he didn't mention it at all, and his words of 'help was provided' made it impossible for them to refute.

This also let them know what kind of person Count Roland was. His magnanimity and disregard for details made them feel heartbroken, and it also made them start to reflect on some issues.

Viscount Manderly looked at Earl Rowland inexplicably. In his opinion, Roland was a master at manipulating people's hearts, at least not under him.

Viscount Whinette's face was flushed at this time, feeling rather honored.

Baron Leon was a little numb. Not only was the Osborne family disrespectful to the royal family, but even Earl Rowland didn't say a word about the royal family, and he didn't even mention the surrounding nobles.

This planted a question in his mind, that is why the Rhodes family was incompatible with the entire northern border, but he could not get the answer for the time being.

Seeing that the mood for the banquet was already in place, Roland simply stopped talking and announced the start of the banquet.

Everyone immediately entered the state of eating and drinking. They didn't like to use knives and forks like the nobles in other places, but they started directly.

When Roland saw this, he immediately threw away his knife and fork. Upon seeing this, Miss Vicky pinched him again. There was nothing he could do but tear off a piece of meat and put it on her plate.

Under Roland's signal, Vicky had no choice but to give up the knife and fork and start directly. She could only choose to follow in her man's footsteps.

Seeing this, everyone let out a burst of good-natured laughter, and then the entire hall was filled with 'barbarians' torn by hand, regardless of gender.

As the banquet continued, the toast was naturally indispensable. Seeing the first person who came over, Roland looked helpless.

"Count Roland, thank you for saving your life on the battlefield."

As expected, this beginning did not surprise Roland at all.

"Okay, okay, you have thanked me so many times. We are both northern nobles, so we don't need to be so polite."

Seeing Roland's perfunctory attitude, Earl Brando was excited at the time, and after drinking with Roland, he yelled loudly.

After everyone was quiet, he said: "Let us give a toast to the one who is inexhaustible - Count Roland."

"The Inexhaustible One—Count Roland"

As soon as they mentioned this, everyone seemed to be back on the battlefield again. Seeing Count Roland showing off his power, they immediately stood up excitedly with wine glasses in hand.

Then Earl Brando started bragging to Earl Roland again. It was still the old way. Anyway, it sounded outrageous to Roland.

Even though most of the people here are people who have participated in the battle, everyone still listens with great interest and adds a few sentences from time to time.

One of the nobles did not believe it, but he did not dare to refute Count Roland. He just said sourly to the nobles in front of him, "It's not you. Look at your proud look."

As a result, the nobleman was not ashamed, but proudly said: "I fought under Earl Roland, these are all my personal experiences.

I think Earl Roland is so powerful in his 20s now, and he will definitely become a legendary figure in the Kingdom of Rhodes and even in the mainland in the future.

At that time, this experience of mine can even be called a legend, hmph. "

These words made the nobleman unable to refute. After all, all abilities will continue to improve from their 20s to about 40 years old. It is really possible.

Thinking of this, he bowed to Roland convincingly, and then sat down.

It's just that in Roland's view, this is the scene of a large-scale social death.

This is the first time Baron Leon has heard of this, because he has been leading the Galewind Legion before and patrolling the affairs of the north, and he barely arrived today.

Some of the descriptions made him dumbfounded. If most of the people present had not participated in the war, he would have thought that these were the atmosphere groups invited by Roland.

What surprised him was how Roland had grown so quickly in less than a year.

No, it was only less than half a year before he went to the battlefield.

This question made him very curious, but when he thought of Roland's title at this time, he felt a little disappointed. He was no longer on the same level as Roland.

As for the idea of ​​competing in martial arts, it can only be thought of in the heart.

A team of 10 people set foot on the land of the northern border. When they first stepped in, they were already known by the nobles of the northern border.

They have already greeted the nobles of the northern border in the name of pioneering. In the eyes of the nobles of the northern border, these people are going to go outside the North Wind Fortress to develop.

After all, this is also an act of re-establishing a separation net between the orcs and them, and the northern nobles are all very enthusiastic.

Such enthusiasm makes them delighted, but also full of confidence in pioneering behavior.

Considering that they would be crossing the border, Evelyn also adjusted the military deployment to prevent them from disturbing the people and disorderly conduct.

However, they turned directly into Viscount Whitnet's territory, heading towards Roland's territory.

This was beyond Evelyn's expectations, but considering the ongoing banquet in the territory at this time, she had no plans to send troops to help.

At this time, they had arrived at the outskirts of the Eternal Night Forest. Under the enthusiastic misunderstanding of the northern nobles, they directly led their troops into the Eternal Night Forest.

Such a large army and messy flags quickly attracted the attention of the defenders of the stronghold. While they quickly sent people back to report, they also took soldiers to investigate.

"Please state your purpose, my lords."

The commander was very puzzled about the purpose of this large army. He didn't know from the lord that someone needed to cross the border, so he stopped them very cautiously.

"We are the team that went to the orc prairie for development. Didn't your lord tell you about this?"

Looking at the soldiers who were waiting in full battle, the noble showed a puzzled look. In his opinion, they had already informed the northern nobles of this matter and were welcomed by them.

"I'm sorry, my lord, we have not received such a notice, please wait a while, we have already reported, and I believe we will get an answer soon."

But they were not satisfied with this answer. In their opinion, this was Earl Roland deliberately making things difficult for them.

After all, their passing here violated Earl Roland's interests to a certain extent, but they were not afraid.

Because they were welcomed by the nobles of the entire northern border, they believed that this was enough to make Earl Roland change his mind.

"Get out of the way, soldier, or don't blame us for being rude."

The nobleman took out his weapon as he spoke, and pointed at the commander in front of him.

The soldier only took a few steps back before pulling out his weapon, "Everyone, get ready to fight."

Faced with such a tough behavior, the nobleman was a little bit hard to ride a tiger, because he was just trying to scare them, and he didn't have the guts to attack them directly.

Considering that no matter what they want to do, they need to pass through the land of the lord here, another nobleman immediately came over to hold him back, and then went down the slope and put away the weapon in his hand.

After discussion, the southern nobles immediately let the army rest where they were and began to wait.

The small conflict here was also sent by the commander to report it.

This is his duty so that his lord can bring enough soldiers to prevent his lord from making mistakes in judgment and causing irreversible consequences.
