Chapter 97 Compensation
The final battle between the two territories ended like snow in early spring, disappearing without a sound.

Seeing another group of newcomers came, the leaders were used to it, but the guards guarding them had Thomas' instructions, and did not make things difficult for the 100 people, but arranged them to work on the construction site normally.

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

Thomas sat opposite Byron, and the restraint bracelet on Byron's hand had been released and placed on the table.

"Mr. Byron, just now my subordinates sent word that the knights under your command are now working on the construction site. They didn't make any noise, and they did what they asked. It seems that you manage well." Thomas said that he was Chen Zan on the surface, but in fact he said with deep meaning.

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

Byron's hundred knights were different from the fastland knights who had been captured. They had betrayed Viscount Fastland and came here.There is no possibility of going back, and the rest of the territories will not take them in.

It can be said that, except for Arnold's territory, no one would want a group of knights who would rebel at any time, even if they were powerful and elite knights.

Of course, they can also escape from here and hide their names as adventurers or robbers, 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 has received a little favor from me, and they have been following me ever since."

Thomas raised his eyelids slightly. It is not something that can be done with a little favor to make so many knights completely obey their orders.

Immediately afterwards, Knight Byron revealed the whole story.Those one hundred knights had more or less been oppressed and humiliated by Viscount Fast or his subordinates, and they had already accumulated dissatisfaction and resentment, and it was he who secretly helped them.

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

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

Thomas knew in his heart that while he was aware of the opponent's situation, he still kept the last three points of guard. This was responsible for the territory and the lord.

He nodded and said, "Mr. Byron, given your sensitive status, I cannot give you more convenience. I will make another arrangement after a while."

"Thank you, Mr. Thomas."

Knight Byron said sincerely, he hesitated for a while before opening his mouth, "I don't know my daughters"

Thomas smiled, "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're fine. In that case, please ask Mr. Thomas to arrange work tasks for me."

Byron immediately thanked him. As for the subsequent work tasks, it was a deal they made in their correspondence, and Arnold's leader would not give him asylum for no reason.

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

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

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

Hearing this, Byron was astonished. This move was tantamount to admitting to protect him, and having the lord's own handwriting was the proof.

Such grace!

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

Knight Byron looked solemn, took it with both hands, and then performed a standard knight 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, and 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 puzzled, what does the foreman mean?It seems that it is still an official position, is it my own position?
He didn't think much, Marvin walked towards him, "Mr. Byron, do you want to visit your family first, or go to the construction site first."

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

"It doesn't have to be like this. Mr. Byron, please follow me, and 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 understood the situation.

The daughter of the head of the Knights was almost persecuted in the Viscount's Mansion. Byron didn't say anything, but secretly contacted Thomas and reached many conditions, including "sending" a large amount of labor to work.

So in the next few wars, Knight Byron made false claims with the Viscount Faster on the one hand, and on the other hand secretly selected people loyal to the Viscount Faster to send them to the battlefield in order to consume the strength of the Viscount Faster.

In the end, another decisive battle was staged, which completely made Viscount Fast desperate.

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this. What kind of battle of honor is this called? Viscount Fast is too miserable.

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

"What plan?" Anthony asked quickly, he suddenly felt a lot stupid, he seemed to understand what he said, but he didn't seem to understand it.

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

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

He is the enemy!
Even if they surrender, it may be a conspiracy.

creak.

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

Facing Frank's question, he replied: "Byron's commanding ability, from the hundreds of knights, you should be able to see that this is exactly what the lord needs."

Everyone was silent, Thomas paused, and continued: "I understand the worries in your hearts, and I have made a perfect plan for this. If he really does something that disappoints me, I will deal with it personally, and then I will apologize to the lord, remove all my positions and quit the Knights of the Round Table."

Hearing this, everyone showed shock, 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 with only firmness in his eyes. He looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "For the establishment of the new city, the lord has put a lot of effort into it. To maintain the existence of the new city, I am willing to take responsibility."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

Everyone present followed him closely. Anthony was stunned. When Thomas' back disappeared from sight, he looked at the others, "Is the territory not doing well now? How can you put it so seriously, Thomas doesn't need to get on me because of Byron."

Hearing his words, other people showed helplessness on their faces, and Harvey said, "Why do you think the lord wants to open a school?"

"Of course I know that. You told me that it is for the purpose of cultivating talents." Anthony nodded.

"Well, thank you for remembering. Now the territory is developing too fast, and there is a lack of talents in all aspects of management. Although schools can cultivate talents, it takes time. This situation will become more obvious when the new city is established, so every usable talent is very precious."

After listening to Harvey's explanation, Anthony suddenly realized that after what happened just now, they knew the pressure on Thomas.

-

Three days passed.

early morning.

Ron woke up early and went to the vegetable garden. He planted some sweet and edible plants. He looked around and found that they were growing well. Before leaving, he picked a fruit and washed it. He came to the courtyard while eating.

Then, he saw a horrifying scene.

I saw under the Miracle tree in the courtyard, a person and a dog sitting face to face at both ends of the bluestone chessboard——

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

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

When seeing this scene, Ron rubbed his eyes foolishly, thinking that he hadn't woken up.

He walked over and was quickly spotted by Xiao Bai.

"Wang!"

Eileen turned her head at the hint of Xiaobai's call, and found Ron who was approaching, with a look of surprise on his face, and immediately called out.

"Master!"

Ron came up to him calmly, thought about his words, and asked, "Who are you?"

"Young master, can't you see? Xiaobai and I are playing backgammon." Irene replied naturally.

"Wang!"

"Uh, let me put it another way, do you think a dog can play chess?" Ron asked again.

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

"Wang!"

hiss~
Ron felt a headache. He noticed that Irene's eyes seemed to fall on the fruit in his hand. How could he pass the fruit without knowing her inner thoughts.

"Hey, I'll give you some."

Irene's eyes sparkled, and she quickly reached out to hold it, "Thank you, young master!"

"Wang!"

Ron stared, and every time Irene said a word, the dog barked, not knowing what was going on.

Being stared at by him like this, Xiaobai's ears drooped and his tail stopped wagging.

He didn't care, his eyes fell on the chessboard, and after a glance, the black chess was about to win, and the white chess was not too bad.

Ron knows Irene's level of chess, and it's not bad to beat the intelligent monster Fenrir.

I don't know how long Irene and the others have trained Xiaobai, but his chess skills are almost at the level of elementary school students.

Irene took a bite of the fruit, and said to Xiaobai who was opposite: "Xiaobai is your turn, hurry up."

Then, Ron saw Xiaobai use his dog paw to move a black stone to the board, and finally made five stones in a row.

His face froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Was it Xiaobai who made the black mark? !
"Oh, I lost again, Xiaobai is really good, don't you think so, young master." Irene stuck out her tongue and said.

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

At this moment, Egbert hurried over and saw a dog sitting on a chessboard playing chess. He was stunned for a moment, then saluted Ron, and reported: "My lord, Viscount Faster sent a messenger to the manor to request a truce."

The reception room on the north side of the mansion.

Ron summoned the messenger from Fastland, who was also a close friend of the Viscount Faster.

"It's an honor for me, Paige, to see the face of Lord Baron Arnold." The messenger saluted.

Ron was not interested in this, "Needless to say flattery, since Viscount Fast wants to cease fighting, Arnold can accept it."

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

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

"what?"

Paige was stunned, thinking about it for a long time, but he didn't know what kind of loss Arnold's territory suffered. Isn't it always the party that benefits?

"Tsk, it seems that you don't want to, so forget it, you go back and tell the Viscount, continue to fight this battle, and don't let this battle of honor be insulted in the slightest." Ron said indifferently.

But Paige was taken aback, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "Master Baron misunderstood, we will definitely compensate you for the loss, and discuss it with my master when we go back."

Before he finished speaking, Ron's dissatisfied voice sounded, "The viscount doesn't seem to have any sincerity, it seems that this battle has to continue."

"No more discussions, no more discussions, Lord Baron, let's talk about the need for compensation."

"Haha, Viscount Fast is really sincere. Okay, let's talk about it. Come and serve tea to Mr. Page."

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

At this moment, Paige's heart was shattered, he looked up at Ron, "Master Baron, this..."

"Or else."

"I sign, I sign!"

Finally, Page signed the compensation documents, got into the carriage and left in a daze.

"Will the Viscount Faster really pay compensation according to the above? I have calculated the assets of the Faster Land. If all compensation is true, the foundation of the Faster family may be shaken. This is no different from continuing to fight." Rosalind asked suspiciously. She is very 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 is not very effective. In the end, it will be left to Viscount Fast to make a decision. We have fully expressed our attitude, and the other party will definitely continue to send people to negotiate. The initiative will always be in our hands."

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

There are still too few people who can be used. Joyce and Rosalind are the two most worthy of training. Let them handle this matter and gain experience.

"Yes, my lord."

The two responded at the same time.

Fastland, Viscount's Mansion.

Viscount Fast held the compensation brought back by Paige, his eyes widened, his rich body trembling with anger.

Page in front also trembled, he was afraid.

"200 war horses? 500 million kilograms of grain? [-] million gold coins! And the rest, he wants to hollow out my Fast family!"

Viscount Fast finally couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Impossible! I can never accept it."

"My lord, but we don't have the strength to continue the fight. If the opponent continues to fight, what can we do to resist it?"

Hearing this, Viscount Fast's expression changed for a while, and he gradually calmed down. Page secretly looked at his expression, and said while the iron was hot: "Besides, I don't think the above payment is negotiable."

Viscount Fast looked at him suddenly, Paige's heart tightened, and he explained: "For example, Baron Arnold asked for these [-] war horses. We all know that Arnold's territory is not suitable for raising horses, and their total number is not so large. These war horses will only increase trouble in the past."

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

"That's right! We have room for detours! The compensation above is all the baron's scheme!"

Paige smiled confidently and said.
