Chapter 32 Pretend to Surrender

Chapter 32 Pretend to Surrender

The interrogation lasted for a long time until Malte confessed everything he knew.

In addition to the information that Princet, Dyson and others are loyal to Baron Rayson, the second most important piece of information is the defence force of the Sean Territory.

Baron Rayson Sean himself is a high-level peak knight, and it is said that he is only one step away from being promoted to bronze;

in addition, he has a team of knights, and the captain, Philidon Henry, is also a high-level knight.

In addition to the three people carrying out the mission in Shanlin Town, Lord Sean's knight team included two intermediate knights and six junior knights.

Luo Ning found a stone by the roadside and sat down.

Even if we count Malte, who had just surrendered to him, there were only five extraordinary people on his side.

There are ten extraordinary people and two senior knights in Lord Sean.

The fighting spirit increases greatly from the intermediate to the advanced level. Even if McKen has rich combat experience, he may not be his opponent.

After comparison, Roning felt that if he went to war with Lord Sean now, he would have almost no chance of winning.

But he knew very well that the other party had already regarded Shanlin Town as its own. Luo Ning was now the master of Shanlin Town, and Lei Sen would not give up easily.

This evil neighbour is not easy to deal with!

"Sir, the statistics of the wounded have been compiled."

At this time, the magician Elron came over and said, "Although the battle just now ended relatively quickly, we have seven people slightly injured and three seriously injured."

Luo Ning's face tightened. Although these people were ordinary people, they were his confidants, and he didn't want to lose any of them.

"How about the seriously injured?"

"I have treated the two seriously injured ones almost completely. They should be fine after two weeks of rest. The remaining one is more seriously injured. His arm was almost chopped off, and his bones were injured. I am afraid he will need to rest for a month."

"Take me to see it."

Under the leadership of Elrond, Ronin came to the seriously injured guard. At this time, Chahar had bandaged the guard and cut off his bloodstained sleeves.

"How do you feel?" Luo Ning asked with concern.

The guard was flattered when the lord leaned over to comfort him. His pale face flushed with excitement. "Sir, the magician has treated me. It will only take one month for me to pick up the sword and fight for you again!"

Luo Ning patted the other person's shoulder and said, "Take good care of your injuries."

Then he instructed Chahar: "The wounded in this battle must be taken care of. The guards must not be allowed to bleed and suffer."

"Yes, sir!"

"Also, Elrond, after you refine your mana, treat the seriously injured guards a few more times depending on the situation so that they can recover faster."

"Yes, sir!"

Roning then inspected and comforted other injured people and praised the guards for their heroic performance in this battle.

Although he only showed up to express concern, it played a very good role. The guards' recognition and respect for Roning were greatly deepened.

Returning to the original place, Luo Ning asked: "How are the casualties of those people in Shanlin Town?"

"I counted them, too."

Elrond shook his head. "When I checked, all three archers were dead. Only five of the twenty infantrymen survived, and they were all seriously injured. My mana was limited, so I didn't heal them."

Compared to Ronin's side, the infantrymen who followed Princet suffered heavy casualties.

All I can say is that Ronin's guards fought so bravely.

"Sir, what should we do with the three people from Princet?" Elrond asked.

Roning rubbed his brows and said, "Dyson and Kate are from the Sean Territory, so I can't keep them. As for Princet, I think he might be of some use if he stays."

He stood up and walked towards the prisoners.

Roning waved his hand, signalling McKen to retract his sword and no longer hold it against Princets neck.

Princet looked at Ronin with an inexplicable look in his eyes. "You have been very calm from the beginning to now. Moreover, your style of handling things is completely different from Earl Wiggins's."

Luo Ning laughed and said, "Tell me, what is Earl Wiggins's working style?"

"Casual, willful, mindless, and impatient."

Princet said sarcastically, "This is not my evaluation of him, but many people's evaluation of him."

Roning thought about it. He had not had much contact with Wiggins since he travelled through time, but the other party's performance seemed to be really like this.

You know what, sometimes the outside world's evaluation is quite accurate.

"I'll give you a chance. How about you surrender to me?" Luo Ning asked.

It wasn't that he really wanted to recruit Princet for his own use, but it would take him a lot of time and energy to figure out Shanlin Town's personnel situation, production situation, surrounding environment, etc.

If Princet could open his mouth and cooperate with Roning to understand and master these things, it would save him a lot of time.

As for how to deal with Princet, after understanding the situation, we will have to wait and see.

"Can!"

Princet changed his previous state of silence and said, "I can submit to you, but I require you to anoint me as your knight in front of all the people in Shanlin Town."

Luo Ning disagreed immediately but thought about the other party's purpose in making this request.

Did Princet want to use this method to save his life? After all, Roning had canonized Princet in public, so he couldn't do anything to him later without a legitimate reason.

"From what you said before, it seems that you disdain the nobles, but now you want me to confer the title on you..."

Roning did not continue speaking but agreed firmly, "Okay, I promise you, the future, Sir Princet."

"Please accept my allegiance, Lord Ronin!" Princet knelt on one knee, enduring the pain.

This scene made Malte, who was about to surrender, feel a little nervous. He didn't expect that Princet would survive.

After dealing with Princet, Roning came to Dyson and Kate, both of whom were Baron Leisen's men.

"Mart!"

Being suddenly called out, Malte was shocked all over; his heart was beating rapidly, and sweat was oozing from his forehead. He didn't know whether Roning would let him go because he was the first to surrender and reveal the information.

"Your Majesty, please command me!" he responded respectfully.

"Pick up your sword and end the lives of Dyson and Kate," Roning ordered.

Malte was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the Baron in front of him would let him end the life of his former teammate.

But he quickly came to his senses and drew his sword, "I am willing to serve you!"

"No, no, you can't kill me!"

Kate was frightened and fainted again, leaving only Dyson begging and threatening: "I am Baron Leisen's knight. If you kill me, the Baron will never let you go!"

Roning remained silent and just watched Malte pick up the sword.

"No, you can't kill me!"

Dyson showed a look of fear, "Lord Feridon is on the way. If you kill me, he will definitely avenge me!"

"slow!"

Roning was so frightened by these words that he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly stopped Malte from attacking again.

"What did you say? Feridon is heading to Hillwood Town?"

Dyson seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. "Prince had already delivered your message by carrier pigeon when you passed the first two mountains. Lord Feridon is already on his way!"

Luo Ning's expression changed drastically. His team had been resting here for at least three hours, plus the time it took to climb two mountains. It was at least five hours.

You have to know that carrier pigeons are very fast and fly in a straight line. It would probably only take 20 to 30 minutes at most to get from Shanlin Town to Saienling.

In other words, Feridon had been on the road for about four and a half hours!

Roning looked at Malte, "Why didn't you tell me about this?"

Malte immediately panicked, dropped the sword in his hand, knelt on the ground and hurriedly explained.

"My Lord, I don't know this news! The prince hates nobles, and he also hates me, who was born into a noble family. There are many things that I cannot touch!"

Ronin looked at Princet.

The man who had just chosen to surrender was now staring at Desen with cold eyes, "Waste!"

At this moment, Luo Ning understood that the other party was not surrendering but was stalling for time.

As long as Feridon could come, he would have a chance of survival.

The only thing he didn't expect was that Roning insisted on killing Disen, and Disen revealed important information.

For a moment, Luo Ning's heart began to panic.

Feridon, that's a senior knight from the Sean Territory, and he definitely didn't come alone!

"What should we do?"
