During the dinner, De Lassel praised the delicious steak, which was indeed well cooked. The young dragon Ryan had also grown teeth and could start eating meat.

“Oh.”

[Well, Baron, today's steak is so delicious. Thank you for feeding me so well. ]

"Hmm, if it's delicious, eat more. I'll give you my portion, too."

De Lassel had a doting look on his face. Looking at the cute baby dragon at this moment, it was really hard to imagine it standing tall among the crowd and soaring in the sky in the future.

Safiya also understood from the satisfied expression of the young dragon Ryan that it enjoyed the dinner very much.

Everyone enjoyed the meal very much. Before leaving, De La Serre finally spoke out his thoughts:

"Old Ao, we should go now. There are still many things waiting for me to deal with, but I need your help with something. Are you willing?"

"My honorable master, I will never forget your kindness to our family. As long as I can do it, I am absolutely willing to do it!"

"Very good, I have some high-quality materials here, and I need you to forge a good sword for me." After saying that, De Lassel took out the bones and teeth of the Jackal King.

The blacksmith Lao Ao recognized these things at a glance. He was shocked and said, "These are the bones and teeth of the prairie jackal king. They are most suitable for forging swords!"

"Well, you really know your stuff and are a good blacksmith. I need a very tough sword that can withstand the high temperature of flames."

"No problem, give me a week, and I will use all my life's experience and efforts to forge it!"

This answer made De Lassel quite satisfied. After expressing his gratitude, he left with Safiya and the young dragon Ryan.

On the way back to the Lord's Hall, the system came online.

【Evaluation: Now, you can feel the benefits of cheating, right? 】

De Lassel replied in his mind: Well...you should do more of this kind of thing in the future, you know that?

[As long as you pay off Chuchu's debt, I can consider giving you more benefits. ]

Damn, I knew you liked her. If you were a man, not a virtual system, you would definitely catch up with her.

In the face of the system's licking remarks, De La Serre was helpless and could only smile foolishly.

But all in all, this mission was very rewarding and laid a solid foundation for future development.

Just as everyone returned to the lord's hall and their respective rooms to rest, suddenly an old soldier standing guard at the door rushed over to report.

"My noble master, reinforcements from the Kingdom of Swadia will be arriving soon. Please go to the city gate to welcome them as soon as possible!"

"What? Why not just open the door and let him in? I won't go."

[System prompt: The reinforcements coming this time have much higher reputation and honor than yours. If you don't go to welcome them, it will be very disadvantageous to your future development.]

De Lassel received the message from the system, and could only reluctantly put on the clothes and pants he had just taken off, and hurriedly rode to the door to greet him.

Outside the city gate, reinforcements slowly arrived, led by Count Haren, the lord of Harenburg in the Kingdom of Swadia.

(Originally Harengosburg and Count Harengos, for your convenience, all are referred to as Count Harengos.)

The name of the castle and himself are integrated into one, which is easy to remember. He has a strong record of winning more than losing, and is one of the few brave men in the Kingdom of Swadia.

This time he came with a force of about 100 people, including 15 extremely rare 5th-level Swadian Iron Knights!

If it was him, he would have encountered Yantulu's troops.

These 15 level 5 Swadian Iron Knights must have been able to easily kill more than 30 enemy soldiers in an instant without dying themselves, and at most only suffer minor injuries.

In addition, among the remaining 80 people, there are also many 4th-level Swadian heavy cavalry and 4th-level Swadian sergeants.

This army with amazing combat effectiveness made De La Serre suddenly sober up and filled him with awe, and he dared not slack off at all.

Seeing that Count Harlan had already rode up to him, De La Serre took the initiative to move forward. He dismounted, nodded respectfully and said:

"Hello, Honorable Earl Harlan, thank you for coming to support us."

"You're welcome. We all serve the Kingdom of Swadia. I heard that you won the battle. I hope you are happy about your victory."

"Count Harlan, it is already late. How about you station your troops in my town and live with me in the Lord's Hall? I have prepared a room for you."

"Thank you for your thoughtful arrangements, Count De Lassel." Count Harlan felt respected and taken seriously, and was very satisfied.

There's nothing I can do. How dare I not treat you well? The system has shown me your attributes. They are so damn scary...

【Earl Harlan】

[Level 40, Strength 38, Agility 37, Wisdom 36, Charisma 39. ]

[Proficiency in one-handed, two-handed, and long-pole weapons is 350. ]

["Tactics 3", "Hostage 3", "Coach 3", "Riding 6"]

[System prompt: Earl Harlan is a loyal and brave man, worthy of your close friendship, and will definitely be a good ally.]

[Evaluation: The Lord Earl of the Kingdom of Swadia, with relatively average attributes and extremely high overall strength. Your attributes are also average, but they are all very low.]

Damn, even though my data is very low now, I can grow and I can keep improving, but their data are all fixed!

Talented people emerge in every generation, and each of them leads the country for hundreds of years. I have been in the east for 30 years, and I will be better than them one day!

Hearing this comment, De La Serre was obviously a little unconvinced and retorted to the system. However, he had already memorized the system's reminder.

This Count Harun is indeed very powerful, and his skills also give him many advantages.

"Coach 3" can provide him with a steady supply of high-level soldiers, and "Hostage 3" allows him to fight to support the war, capture prisoners in battles and then sell them for money.

At the same time, "Tactics 3" proves that he has excellent command ability on the battlefield and the ability to grasp the opportunity, and can use the best fighting methods to eliminate the enemy and reduce his own losses.

At this time, Earl Harlan settled his troops in the soldiers' rest area in the town of Uxhall, and he and De Lassel went to the lord's hall together.

The two talked and laughed all the way. After arriving at the hall, De Lassel gave up his master bedroom, the most comfortable room, for Count Harlan to rest.

Count Harlan expressed his gratitude to the Baron for voluntarily giving up his most luxurious room.

[Your friendship with Earl Harlan +1, currently at 1.]

[Evaluation: If you want to curry favor with this kind of great god, you have to start from scratch to cultivate your friendship.]

De La Serre almost fainted, cursing in his heart: Good fellow, it doesn't matter, as long as the flattery is in place, an iron rod can be blown into a needle, I'm not in a hurry...

That night passed peacefully...
