Master Matthew should bear the anxiety of being a commander. Mr. Andre just wants to find a place to sleep.

Well, it's so soft and warm here...

Wait, this is a man’s arms!

Andre's face turned red, and he pushed Matthew hard to the ground.

He took several steps back and muttered in a low voice: "Who told you to come so late? You deserve to fall."

Matthew looked at the little red cloud flying over Andre's handsome face, feeling regretful in his heart.

How unfair is the Creator, why should such a beautiful guy be a man!

Chapter 164: If Life Is Just Like First Sight

If only Andre was a girl.

Matthew thought silently.

He recalled the hug just now, and the scent of Andre's body still lingered in his nose.The scent of perfume mixed with the smell of sweat formed a strange temptation.

Fortunately, Andre pushed him away just now, otherwise, the fact that his heartbeat suddenly accelerated would have been exposed.

Although Matthew felt ashamed that he had lustful thoughts about boys, he immediately found an excuse for himself.

Can you blame him for this?The only reason to blame is that Andre is so beautiful.

After this episode, Matthew hugged the maids and Debray in turn, loudly praised their achievements in the battle, and affirmed their bravery in fighting.

Although the troops were very tired, Matthew did not let everyone rest. Instead, he immediately led more than 2 people to march south as quickly as possible until they reached the city of Groningen.

This prosperous commercial city changed hands twice this year and experienced a tragic baptism of war.

Of the nearly one million people before the war, there are now less than 30 left, and most of the others have slipped away.

To restore this city to its former vitality, I am afraid it will take a lot of financial, material and time resources.

But this is not something Matthew should consider. His new territory is within the Kingdom of Perth. If he wants to take away his territory, he has to continue going south.

When he arrived at the city of Groningen, the royal army besieging the city had already fled.

After hearing the news of Prince Philip's defeat, the royal army fled with lightning speed.

Diana, who was stationed in the city, thought that the royal army was trying to play dirty tricks and did not pursue them.

By the time she confirmed the news of the Royal Army's defeat, she had lost the best time to pursue them.

As a result, these more than 3 fully organized troops became the last hope of the Kingdom's Northern Expeditionary Army.

When she heard that Matthew was coming, Diana personally went ten miles out of the city to greet him at the Groningen Bridge in the north of the city.

No matter what Matthew was thinking, he did save Diana and even avenged Grand Captain Walder.

She has clear grudges, and she owes Matthew such a huge debt, so she naturally has to pay it back.

It's just that she doesn't know what Matthew needs her to do?

She recalled the past when Matthew used both soft and hard tactics to get her to be a contractor, and she looked a little sad.

She would still spend the rest of her life serving the Lord of Holy Light, but if she couldn't repay Matthew's favor, her heart would be hard to calm down.

Seeing Matthew's team from a distance, Diana's mood was a little complicated.

She could probably think of Matthew's conditions, and he definitely wanted her to sign a real soul contract.

Thinking of this, she got entangled.

She held the reins and stood at the bridge with a complicated expression, waiting for Matthew to arrive.Her war horse could not understand its master's intentions at all, and could only make a "squeaking" sound to remind her that someone was approaching.

Seeing that Diana was still in a daze, the war horse felt a little tired, so he had to approach her and rub her arm with his mane to remind her to pay attention.

Diana finally came to her senses and made a difficult decision.

A person must first have a clear conscience. No matter what Matthew wants, she will agree to it.

Return the favor first, and then spend the rest of your life serving the Lord of Holy Light.

After figuring this out, the haze in the corners of Diana's eyes was swept away, replaced by a relieved smile.

When Matthew appeared on the other side of the bridge, Diana returned to the way she was when she first met Matthew.

Under the sunlight, her golden hair was like golden clouds, flying in the wind, and her bright silver armor shone brightly, covering her whole body with a sacred veil.

At this time, Diana looked like a god coming to earth.

She and Matthew walked onto the bridge from one section of the bridge and walked opposite each other.

Matthew's entourage knew enough not to follow, leaving the bridge completely to them.

Standing seven steps away from Diana, Matthew said seriously with a smile on his lips:

"Captain Diana, you held on to the isolated city for more than a month, creating conditions for our army's victory. The victory in the defense of Groningen is inseparable from the hard work of you and the Walder Knights."

Although these words sounded very polite, Matthew's sincerity dispelled Diana's only doubts.

Grand Commander Walder died on the battlefield, and Diana certainly hoped that Grand Commander would receive a fair evaluation.

She would definitely be sad if Matthew insisted on taking away the credit of the grand leader.

In this war, the empire lost more than 30 troops and millions of people, most of whom belonged to His Majesty the Emperor and lords close to the Emperor.

The Kingdom of Perth suffered more losses than the Empire. They lost hundreds of thousands of elite troops, and their family fortune, which they had worked hard for many years, was wiped out at once.

If the empire is paralyzed, then they are almost paraplegic.

The only winner in this war is probably Matthew.

Compared with the imperial emperor who only won in name, Matthew not only achieved a brilliant victory on the battlefield, but also won a high reputation among the people, and obtained the title of marquis and a new territory.

Although this territory still needs to be taken over with troops, does the Kingdom of Perth still have the ability to resist?

When Matthew goes south with more than 5 men under his command and the reintegrated Imperial Southern Front, what can the Kingdom of Perth do to stop it?

Matthew, who had gained such a huge harvest, would certainly not compete with the dead for credit.

It's a small matter to compete for credit, but it's a big deal to have Diana on his side.

Although Walder is dead, the Knights are still there.Although they suffered heavy losses, it was not difficult to rebuild the Knights with Diana's appeal.

What Matthew valued was not merit or anything else, but Diana.

It's a pity that Diana has a firm belief and is unwilling to sign a real contract with Matthew. She signed an empty contract just to prevent the leakage of secrets.

Matthew looked at Diana's bloodshot eyes and felt slightly soft-hearted.

After all, she is a devout believer in the Lord of Holy Light. Signing a contract with a believer in the God of Soul will definitely cause her great trouble, even if it is an empty contract.

Matthew secretly made up his mind to terminate the contract later and give Diana her freedom.With the orange quota free, he can sign new players, which is good for everyone.

By signing another Orange, Matthew can still gain a lot of prestige.

Previously, he killed the remnant soul of God Dolan, completed the achievement of killing the god, and gained 1000 reputation points, which exceeded the total reputation gained from this war.

If he can sign another new orange, he can gain a lot of prestige.

Diana, if you don't want to, just let her go. How can you still force yourself to do it?

After thinking about this, Matthew's eyes became a little softer.

This soft gaze made Diana's heart beat slightly faster. She quickly approached Matthew, stood up straight and performed a standard knightly salute.

"Earl Matthew, you're welcome. Compared to your invincibility on the battlefield, I only made a small contribution to the war situation."

"If you agree that our Knights of Walder have merit, it is also the merit of the Grand Master."

Speaking of the grand leader, Diana recalled the process of Huald's death in battle, and her eyes were slightly red.

The grand leader is indeed not a famous general. His greatest advantage is that he is approachable and has a good relationship with the knights in the regiment.

He always said that we were good brothers and we should face life and death together. At that time, everyone only thought it was a polite word, but they did not expect that he actually fulfilled his promise on the battlefield.

When he was there, few people thought he was useful. After he left, everyone discovered that the Knights really couldn't do without this honest and honest man.

Diana looked at Matthew anxiously, waiting for his answer.

When he heard Huard's name, Matthew's expression was serious, and his eyes were a little more sad.

Although many people in this era are not worthy of the title of knight, and although many knights have become mercenary groups, Walder is indeed a true knight.

Being able to personally defend the entire regiment during the retreat until death in battle, no matter how many shortcomings he has, they can be made up for.

Walder was not an excellent general, not an excellent politician, or even a good regimental leader, but he was a true knight.

This is what Matthew said about Walder.

He pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "Captain Walder's loyalty, bravery and noble conduct are worth learning from every knight."

"Without his hard work, the Knights would probably collapse, Groningen would not be able to defend itself, and I would not be able to turn the tide of the battle."

"The Grand Master's achievements are far greater than his performance on the battlefield."

Everyone carries the sedan chair, and everyone gives each other face.If Grand Master Walder was alive, there would still be conflicts between Matthew and this loyal supporter of the Himilen family, but now the Grand Master is dead.

Competing for credit with dead people is not only stupid, but will also cause your own personality to collapse instantly. Of course, Matthew will not do such a stupid thing.

Obtaining posthumous treatment and higher honors for the Grand Master will not only win the favor of the Walder Knights for him, but also win the goodwill of Diana.

Diana has a special status and it is very important to win her support.

Matthew came from the Celestial Dynasty before traveling through time. He has been immersed in the idea since he was a child that everything will come to an end after death, and that the deceased should leave the world with dignity.

Many times, funerals are not held for the dead, but for the living.

The same goes for treatment after death.

Matthew didn't think there was anything wrong with not doing it, but it seemed incredible to Deanna.

She was very clear about Matthew's political stance. What he wanted to fight for was the emperor's position, and the Walder Knights were funded by the Himilon family, and the Grand Master would only support the Himilon family.

But Mr. Ward is dead, and his ideas cannot influence the current Knights.If Diana's support can be won, there is a chance to change the attitude of the Knights.

Diana looked at Matthew blankly, never expecting that Matthew could give Captain Walder such a high evaluation.

The grand commander is indeed brave, but his military strategy is somewhat worrying.

If he could have discerned the enemy's movements earlier, or listened to Diana's advice, he could have brought more people back to Groningen, and he himself would not have to die.

His death actually paid more for his previous mistakes in decision-making.

She knew this, and so did Matthew.

But Matthew didn't take it seriously with the dead man, but gave him this face.

To be precise, Matthew is not giving face to Huald, they have no friendship, he is giving face to Diana.

Diana knew what Matthew wanted. She bit her lip, took a deep breath, and whispered: "Earl Matthew, the contract between us..."

"Diana, are we so unfamiliar with each other that we need to call each other a title?"

Matthew gently interrupted Diana's words, and sighed with a slight loss: "Forget it, since this is not your original wish, there is no need for me to force it."

"Diana, from now on, our contract is void."

Diana raised her head suddenly, almost unable to believe her ears.

After a long time, a gust of breeze blew by, lifting up her golden hair. The tips of her hair rubbed the tip of her nose, and the numbing feeling woke her up from her confusion.

"Do you really think so?" Her voice was a little softer than usual.

Matthew smiled and said: "We signed the contract that day to keep the secret of our home. As long as you can promise not to leak the secret, it doesn't matter if you don't sign the contract. I never force..."

He was about to say that he would never force a contractor to sign a contract, but then he thought of Shirley and quickly coughed and said, "I never intend to force you to sign a contract."

Diana looked into Matthew's eyes and felt his sincerity.

Obviously, Matthew didn't just say it, he really thought so in his heart.

Diana's opinion of Matthew changed a lot.

Although the objects of his faith are the God of Soul and the Goddess of Destiny, they are also gods of the Order camp, and believers who believe in them and believers in the Lord of Holy Light are not enemies.

Thinking of this, the stone in her heart gradually fell to the ground, and she whispered softly: "Matthew, can you tell me the current situation of other contractors?"

Matthew was a little surprised as to why Diana would say such a thing.

He pondered for a moment, and then told Diana about the current strength of Surante and others.
