Wandering Knight Start: I have a simple data panel

The Holy Cross Kingdom suffered a great loss. The barbarians fought a great battle with the Holy Cross Kingdom and defeated the army of the entire Holy Mile Province in one fell swoop.

An entire province with a large area of ​​land with a population of more than one million fell into the hands of the barbarians.

Obviously, the barbarians attacked from two directions. Although they suffered a little loss on the side of the Locke Kingdom, they won a great victory on the side of the Holy Cross Kingdom.

Although as two hostile countries, they should be very happy to hear this news.

However, from the perspective of the three southern countries, it is not worth being happy.

After all, the three southern countries are all from the same lineage. This is a civil war.

The barbarians are foreign enemies.

The actions of the Barbarian Kingdom were unexpected.

Thirty years have changed too much.

In the north, a new force has really risen.

With two wars and tens of thousands of deaths, the barbarians proved this.

Before the nobles and officials of the northern province recovered from the news, two consecutive orders came from the capital.

The first order formally commended all meritorious personnel, and the king's reward was very generous.

Derek was awarded the hereditary baron, court viscount, and the position of the head of the Saint Maitreya Corps.

That's right, the head of the Saint Maitreya Corps, this is a new organization, even with 5,000 people.

However, except for a title, the rest of the troops were all divided from the Second Corps.

This is still secondary. This meaningful title has already explained the king's mind.

And the fiefdom is also in the Holy Cross Kingdom, and the area is even larger than the territory of the Ferreira family.

However, it is not just Derek alone. Many nobles and meritorious personnel have all been granted fiefdoms in the Holy Maitreya Province of the Holy Cross Kingdom.

If you spread out the map, half of the land in the entire province has been promised by the king.

Before the nobles of the northern province could curse, the second order from the king came.

Recognize the status of the Barbarian Kingdom and formally establish diplomatic relations.

And the price... the barbarians completely handed over the Saint Maitreya Province to the Locke Kingdom.

This perfectly explains the king's order. It is obvious that the barbarian envoys have been waiting in the capital for a long time.

If the northern province fell, perhaps the nobles of the Kingdom of the Holy Cross would come to take over the land of the northern province?

Without giving Derek a chance to think, the king's envoys and the envoys of the Senate of Nobles came together.

The envoy completed the hasty granting ceremony on behalf of the king, and even exempted the process of going to the capital for an audience.

The Senate also presented the noble emblems and coats of arms that had been prepared long ago.

When the title of Knight Derek was registered, the two-headed dragon was already registered.

However, knights can only use pennants and swallowtail flags.

Now he can cut off the swallowtail and officially use the noble square flag.

This time, the titles granted by the king are Viscount of the Court of Derek and Baron of Augusta.

According to convention, he can be called von Ferreira Augusta Derek in the future.

And his descendants will inherit the surname Augusta.

His territory is also located in the Augusta area of ​​the Holy Mile Province.

Of course, it is very likely that this territory will be lost soon under the counterattack of the Kingdom of the Holy Cross.

That would be too annoying.

"Viscount Derek, please get on the road as soon as possible. His Majesty the King is looking forward to your good news."

After the envoy completed the task, he brought the king's urging.

In fact, there was not much time left for the Locke Kingdom.

The Holy Cross Kingdom must have been prepared for a counterattack since the barbarians began to invade, but it did not expect it to be so tragic, and it did not expect the target to be the Locke people.

But it doesn't matter who it is, the Holy Maitreya Province must be taken back.

But the mess was left to the Locke Kingdom, specifically to the unlucky guy like Derek.

To be honest, the king's behavior was not very kind.

But this was also a surprise to the king. The original target was indeed the barbarians.

But the Holy Maitreya Province was able to get it, so it naturally changed direction.

It is not difficult to guess the barbarians' thoughts, that is, to fight between two tigers, but the tigers have the intention to fight and can't stop at all.

That night, the governor summoned all the nobles and officials.

Many people looked at Derek with pity, obviously knowing the news.

Although the Holy Maitreya Province may not be taken back, a protracted war is inevitable.

The Holy Cross Kingdom will not give up.

The Governor coughed. The king's change of heart also brought him a lot of trouble.

His eyes drifted from the general and nobles like Derek. Some of them looked angry, and some were expressionless.

"Ahem, the Holy Maitreya Province was an accident, and everyone knows the barbarians' plan.

But the opportunity is rare. If the barbarians hadn't taken it by surprise, the Holy Maitreya Province would never have fallen so easily."

The Governor was right. If the Locke Kingdom's army was mobilized, the Holy Maitreya Province would probably have been prepared long ago.

Only barbarians who were out of the mainstream vision would have the opportunity to sneak attack.

This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But the king is too unkind.

The Governor faced the silent nobles awkwardly and continued: "Please rest assured, there will be no governor in the Holy Maitreya Province for the next three years, and no taxes will be collected.

The kingdom will help with all food supplies and even population."

Obviously, the kingdom also knew that the barbarians would definitely not let themselves relax.

So food, population and even all supplies need blood transfusions from the kingdom.

But compared to the gains, it was all worth it.

The nobles looked much better.

Count Pereira waved and called Derek to his side.

"This time I will go on another expedition, and the first and second legions will be integrated into one legion.

Including your Saint Maitreya Legion and the private armies of various families, there are about 20,000 to 30,000 people, but they have to face the first wave of counterattacks from the Kingdom of the Holy Cross.

And the reinforcements of the kingdom will take at least three to five months to arrive. What do you think, Derek?"

The pressure on Count Pereira is also very high. If he is not careful this time, he may be defeated in the Province of Saint Maitreya.

Derek pondered for a while and did not give a clear answer: "We need to see the situation after arriving in the Province of Saint Maitreya, but we have to guard against the barbarians."

"Indeed, we need to prevent the barbarians from suddenly attacking us, but we also need to take over the Province of Saint Maitreya as soon as possible and make preparations early."

It is not impossible for the barbarians to counterattack and then turn around to attack the northern province.

Even if the handover is smooth, it must be done as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the counterattack of the Kingdom of the Holy Cross will come just after the handover, and I am afraid it will be a big trouble.

Derek was mentally prepared: "If the barbarians don't cooperate, then let's show them some strength.

They want us to fight each other so that we can have room for development.

Since that's the case, they won't dare to turn against us easily."

The barbarians have concerns, so we should seize the pain points and target them. Derek's ideas are always sharp.

Count Pereira really didn't think of this.

He immediately smiled and said, "Then I will hand over the army to you as soon as possible. You set off first and help me weigh the weight of the barbarians."
