When Prince Herbert confirmed that the person in front of him was Martin, a hint of obvious surprise flashed in his eyes. However, in an instant, the surprise was replaced by deep worry.

He knew clearly that the situation in the north was becoming increasingly difficult to control, and it all depended on how His Majesty the King would manage it.

The subsequent affairs were carried out step by step, cleaning up the battlefield, collecting prisoners, these tedious but necessary tasks, Prince Herbert handed over the statistics and processing to his subordinates.

At this moment, he was warmly entertaining Martin, Eric and Frost in the tent.

During the conversation, Prince Herbert looked at Eric and asked him if he was willing to go to the royal capital?

Eric refused decisively without any hesitation.

Prince Herbert understood from Martin's resolute attitude that there was no turning back, so he stopped asking questions and turned his gaze towards Martin. He said with approval, "Martin, the dragon knights under your command played a decisive role in this crucial battle."

"I have reported your achievements in detail to His Majesty the King. Let's see how His Majesty plans to reward you."

Upon hearing this, Martin bowed respectfully to Prince Herbert and humbly responded, "These are all my duties, not worth mentioning."

The two chatted for a while, and then Prince Herbert let Martin go about his business.

As soon as Martin walked out of the tent, a group of nobles surrounded him quickly like a tide.

The reason for this was that Marquis Roderick had mentioned that Martin was his son-in-law. After hearing this, the other nobles all came up with the idea of ​​marriage and stepped forward to add him to their contacts.

Due to the large number of people, the nobles decided to communicate with Martin via video after returning. The enthusiasm almost made it difficult for Martin to escape.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Marquis Roderick appeared in time and rescued him.

On the way back to Marquis Roderick's tent, every knight passing by would salute Martin with respect.

Martin knew in his heart that this respect was more directed at the dragon knight behind him, but he still nodded politely.

As soon as he entered the tent, Marquis Roderick said solemnly, "Martin, I think you're going to be in big trouble. From what I know about the king, he'll most likely transfer you elsewhere, but it's not clear where exactly."

After hearing this, Martin quickly asked, "Marquis Roderick, where do you think I might be transferred to?"

The Marquis did not answer immediately, but turned and walked to the military map, pointing his finger at an area on the map.

Upon seeing this, Martin hurried forward to check and discovered that the place the Marquis was pointing to was exactly the western border of the Dwarf Kingdom—the battlefield where the fierce attack was currently underway.

Martin couldn't help but think about it carefully, and nodded in agreement. The main reason was that the marriage with three families had always made the king wary.

Now there is another dragon knight, needless to say. If the senior nobles can't move them, can they not move the White family?

Martin didn't know yet what kind of uproar this news would cause when it reached the royal capital.

In the past, there were dragon knights in the Kingdom of Charlemagne, but unfortunately they died heroically on the battlefield.

And now, a new dragon knight suddenly appeared and instantly became the focus of heated discussion among the residents of the royal capital and even the nobles.

When the king received the news from Prince Herbert through the Tongxu Crystal, his face was full of surprise, but soon, he was replaced by joy.

After all, the current war situation is serious. If they lose the war, they will inevitably have to cede territory and pay compensation. Those nobles are all good at calculating and will never easily use up their family wealth to consume.

The king pondered for a moment, then ordered someone to call Princess Avril.

When the princess arrived, the king told her everything that had happened.

In the royal capital, everyone knows that the dragon knight is named Eric, but no one knows that he is actually Martin White's subordinate.

When Avril heard this, her first reaction was not surprise, but she calmly asked her father why he called her here.

King Charlemagne stared at his daughter and spoke slowly, "Your initial investment was correct. Martin White is now a powerful figure. However, I have no choice but to transfer him elsewhere."

Avril's eyes flashed with resentment when she heard this, but fortunately the king didn't notice. The king continued, "You have a unique vision and outstanding talent, but it's a pity that you are a woman."

When Avril heard this, her nails almost dug deep into the flesh of her palms, but she still responded with a forced smile: "I gladly accept what my father gives me, and I will never fight for what my father does not give me."

After hearing this, the king nodded with satisfaction.

He called Avril over this time just to test the waters.

In fact, the king knew in his heart that he was not worried that Avril would ascend to the throne. The most crucial reason was that Avril was a woman.

Those nobles would never support a female ruler. More importantly, the ancestors of the family would certainly not agree, unless...

The king didn't dare think about this problem anymore.

After letting Avril leave, he thought about how to deal with Martin's matter.

After coming out, Avril went straight back to her palace without looking back, and then went to the basement without stopping.

There are many male creatures imprisoned in this basement, including humans, orcs, and even a few male elves.

Avril walked into the basement and picked up a long whip with spikes from the torture table next to her. She started whipping the male orc in the cell, muttering to herself, "A girl, a girl..."
