Castle Creek had gathered a dozen southern lords at this time, and Rainer was sitting in the middle of the castle hall, quietly waiting for everyone to arrive.

　　 "Haha, welcome everyone..." Rainer took a smile and looked at these lords.

　　 Rainer's expression is very brilliant, and even his tone of voice is very enthusiastic.

　　 After all, the stability of the South in the future will depend on these people, and there is no need to leave them in the cold because of the previous events.

　　 All the lords also laughed and exchanged greetings with Lena.

　　 "Since I have spoken to you clearly before, now I am not going around with you, so I will just say it straight."

"Earl Lorans and others are despicable and shameless. They cooperated with the upstarts in the imperial capital to lure me here and want to eliminate me, and your non-cooperation with this will obviously cause Count Lorans' dissatisfaction! "

　　 Rainer said everything he thought in his heart.

　　 "Before this, they were quite critical of you, and you didn't cooperate with them this time, the other party's heart was obviously dissatisfied, and even though I had the advantage this time!"

　　 But when I leave, you will inevitably be liquidated by the other party. Why don't you just take advantage of this time to unite with Earl Crick and resist the offensive of Earl Lorans and others. What do you think? "

　　 After listening to Rainer's words, these southern lords felt that he was justified, and his previous victories added a lot of persuasive power to his words, and Bian even agreed with Rainer's words.

　　Rainer didn't even say more, and the southern lords directly stated that they were willing to form an alliance with Earl Creek.

　　 After the matter was finalized, Rainer also stated his next goal.

　　 "Very well, in that case, I intend to negotiate with the Earl of Lorens and others. Since they have failed, the next initiative will be in our hands."

　　 "But in order to prevent the upstarts in the imperial capital from counterattacking again, I decided to talk to Count Lorans!"

　　Rainer told these lords of his thoughts only to inform them. As for the specific opinions of these people, they interfered with Rainer's decision.

　　 Even without these southern lords, Rainer has the strength and ability to negotiate with Lord Lorens and others.

　　 What really worries him is that he left after talking with Count Lorens, and he went back and forth about how to deal with it. That's why the conversation with the lords in the south can be made today.

　　 But after all, his goal has been initially achieved.

　　 It was his initial idea to divide and woo the lords of the South through Earl Crick, and it has almost been achieved now. At least they did not participate in the plan of besieging Rainer and Earl Crick.

　　 On November 21, 23rd of the Empire, five full days have passed since the end of the war. Earl Lorens had already left the area of ​​Fort Creek and disappeared.

　　 But according to Rainer's speculation, five days is not enough for them to return to their territory, and they should be hiding in some castle or hidden place at this time.

　　 Therefore, Rainer expanded the range of the light cavalry patrol and search to within a hundred kilometers of the surrounding area.

　　 Finally, they were found one hundred and ten kilometers south of Fort Creek. The light cavalry separated some of them to report to Rainer, while the other remained to monitor the Earl of Lorans and the others.

　　 At this time, this coalition army looked quite embarrassed.

　　 The long-distance raid for five full days made them suffer. The shortage and exhaustion of food made them almost unable to hold on. Even the high-ranking Earl of Lorans was just as haggard.

　　 At this moment, this team only had a little over ten thousand left, but most of those who fell behind in the middle were conscripts of serfs who had little combat effectiveness. Instead, the regular army became the majority.

　　 They had already spotted the light cavalry cruising around. In the previous battles, the left wing of the coalition had a deep impression of the light cavalry, and their undaunted look was deeply imprinted in their minds.

　　 The light cavalry appeared here, and everyone didn't know that they had been discovered by the enemy, but even so, they still did not speed up the march.

　　 It's not that they are not afraid, nor that they are entrusted. They are really tired, sleepy and hungry along the way, and they have overdrawn their physical strength and energy by not getting enough food for a long time.

　　 If it weren't for a breath of air to support their hearts, I'm afraid I don't know how many people will fall on their way home.

　　 November 25th, 26th year of the Empire.

　　 The light cavalry brought Rainer's letter. They approached the army and handed the letter to Lord Lorens.

　　 At this time, the Earl of Lorans has long lost his vigorous look before the war, his hair has been tyed, and the original smooth chin has also grown out of a jagged beard.

　　 He looked at the letter in his hand, looked at the hussars, and then cast his eyes on the lords beside him.

　　 I saw these lords looking at Count Lorans with longing eyes, hoping that he could make a correct decision.

　　 At the beginning of the defeat, Earl Lorans was full of complaints, and before the war started, he promised to say that big things could be expected.

　　 But the result was not satisfactory. The lords who suffered huge losses and suffered humiliation naturally cast their anger on him.

　　 Of course, Earl Lorans is still strong. After a little vent, these lords still regard Earl Lorans as their backbone.

　　 Looking at the heart in his hand, he thought about whether he could return to the territory to defend in a short period of time. In the end, he decided to talk to Rainer.

　　 After all, ~lightnovelpub.net~ There are still more than 400 hussars and more than 400 knights under Rainer's command.

　　 November 29th, 26th year of the Empire.

　　The two sides met as promised about 55 kilometers south of Fort Creek. Neither party was carrying an army, only a small number of guard knights accompanied.

　　Earl Lorans was haggard, but he tried his best to take care of himself. At least the uneven beard on his chin was repaired by him with a dagger.

　　 The negotiation venue is quite simple, even without chairs, he can only stand on the ground and wait for Rainer's arrival.

　　 The vigorous aura he had before the battle disappeared, and all that was left was the pride he managed to maintain.

　　 After a while, Rainer came here with the lords and the guard knights. He saw Earl Lorans and the others directly turned over and got off their horses and walked.

　　 "I haven't seen you in a few days, you look a little haggard, Count Lorans!" Rainer stepped forward and greeted with a smile on his face.

　　 It’s just that although these words sound like a kind greeting, in fact, the meaning contained in them is extremely mocking.

　　 After more than ten days, their mentality deformed into a major reversal, and the mocker was also changed from Count Lorans to Rainer.
