Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

Hammond was dug out by his comrades. Although the final charge was submerged in the wave of mud monsters, fortunately, the knights were sprinkled with holy water in the end so that they were not assimilated by the mud monsters.

"Did we win?"

Hammond fell in the middle of the battlefield, watching the rare sunset in the northern winter penetrate the clouds.

"We won, Captain."

Hammond's men helped Hammond up, and the exhausted knights limped back to the position with the help of their comrades.

This situation continued to happen on the battlefield. At this time, the monsters on the battlefield had been completely eliminated, and only a few soldiers were carrying out the final annihilation mission. Most of the soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield or saving people with holy water and potions.

Lind wrote the victory report as soon as possible, and sent a letter to Sean who was in charge of the rear along with some basic arrangements and some post-war precautions. At the same time, he began to commend the soldiers.

Two days later, Lind received White's letter. After receiving the letter, Lind's face showed no expression. He turned to Lena who was recording the merits and said, "Something happened in the valley. I have to rush over to deal with it."

Reina didn't even turn her head, but said directly: "Well, leave this to me."

Lena didn't notice anything wrong. After all, the river valley could be said to be the enemy's rear base. Now that news had come from there that there was a problem, it was normal for Linde to be there to take charge.

There was nothing on the battlefield of the Golden Ear Plains that needed Linde to deal with personally. He just needed to follow the procedures and Lena could arrange all the work.

After the couple said goodbye, Linde led his men to the river valley, which was once the richest place in the North.

Along the way, not to mention people, there was really no sound of roosters crowing, and there was not even a single animal to be seen. With a heavy heart, Linde arrived at the river valley.

By the time Lind stepped into the river valley, there were almost no residents in the outer city area. Only a few people who were hiding and not sent to the battlefield by Doug were left. They carefully poked half of their heads out of the ruined houses and carefully observed Lind's army.

The demons had already shown the gray-collar workers how the sludge monsters were produced at the beginning, and judging from the scale of those sludge monsters on the battlefield, the population in the areas controlled by Doug must be quite depleted.

While thinking about his future immigration plan, Linde had unknowingly arrived at the so-called inner city area. This inner and outer city area was remodeled by Doug in imitation of the royal capital to distinguish between nobles and civilians.

Although the original river valley had similar divisions, the nobles were only concentrated on one street. In order to highlight the difference between nobles and commoners and to win the hearts of the nobles in the city, Doug began to enclose land directly in the city and built a luxurious city within the city.

The towering white stone walls were inlaid with golden trimmings, forming a sharp contrast with the dilapidated scene of the outer city. At the gate of the inner city, there were many gorgeously designed armors. These armors looked quite flashy and were not really meant to be worn by people, but were only meant to intimidate the civilians in the outer city.

Although the common people may not care, after all, under Doug's rule, even their survival has become a problem, but the nobles seem to enjoy this spiritual victory over the common people very much.

On the huge door lintel, there are many family crests carved that symbolize aristocratic status. These are the aristocratic families living in the inner city. Every detail reveals the antiquity, nobility and inviolability of the corresponding aristocratic families.

However, these ancient, noble and inviolable nobles were now kneeling in unison at the gate. They seemed to have been kneeling for a long time, and some of the nobles who were still children had even fallen asleep.

When they saw Lind coming with his guards, these noble nobles lowered their heads even lower, not even daring to look at Lind. Although there were a lot of people, not even a sound was made at the scene.

Everyone tightened their necks, waiting for the trial.

The number of these nobles, including their servants, might be even greater than the number of civilians in the outer city.

Linde ignored these nobles and walked towards the depths of the inner city along the wide streets paved with colorful stones.

Doug's castle is tall and exquisite, and some of the towers are decorated with gorgeous reliefs and stained glass, as if the castle towers themselves are works of art. If Sean is right, before he escaped, the castle in the valley was still in the classic Lars military fortress style. It is hard to imagine how much money Doug spent to transform the castle into its current appearance.

White's soldiers had been waiting at the castle gate for a long time. When they saw Lind arriving, they immediately stepped forward to salute and led Lind into the castle.

It can be seen that White is very professional in his work. After Lind entered the castle, he could see marked and blocked secret passages everywhere. After all, White was the one who defended Winterfell in the past, and he was very familiar with these doorways in the castle.

The soldier led Lind down step by step. This was a hidden area in the castle, filled with dungeons and torture instruments, designed to satisfy the special fetishes of some nobles, but it was estimated that some real criminals were also imprisoned there.

For example, the two who kept wailing in prison.

"Let me go, I want to see the Governor's wife, let me see the Governor's wife!"

Lind glanced at the two middle-aged men in the prison. They were wearing gorgeous cloaks, but the cloaks looked very dirty, as if they were caused by the two middle-aged men rolling around on the ground in the prison with shackles on.

Seeing someone coming, the two middle-aged men immediately turned over and stood up from their lying position.

Although they had never seen Lind before, the two immediately guessed Lind's identity when they saw Lind's age and the guards around him.

“Governor! Governor! Where’s Reina? Did Reina come with you?”

"Governor, please let us see our niece."

After asking, the two of them hurriedly saluted Lin De. That was the etiquette that retainers showed to the Grand Duke, but it was obvious that it didn't matter what etiquette these two people performed.

"My wife doesn't have that much time. She is still in the Golden Ear Plains counting her military achievements."

Facing Lena's two uncles, Linde decided to waste some of his time to express his attitude, so that no one below would misunderstand his meaning.

"How can you leave Reina in such a dangerous place on the battlefield?"

"Yes, I held Reina in my arms when she was a child. Governor-General, please let us see the lady."

Looking at Linde's cold eyes, it was obvious that the two had realized that facing their nephew-in-law alone would be a dead end.

I originally thought that since I heard that Linde and Rena were inseparable, when I met Linde, maybe I could also meet Rena. Then I could use my uncle's identity to say a few nice words and play the emotional card. Based on the two's understanding of Rena, maybe Rena would really pardon them and maybe even give them preferential treatment.

After all, the two did not compete directly with Lind, and although they became his lackeys, they could explain it as having no choice.

And given the relationship between Linde and Lena, it is impossible for Linde to let Lena bear the reputation of killing her uncle, so she will survive at least.

But unexpectedly, Linde, who was always inseparable from Reina, did not bring her this time. His thoughts were self-evident.

"Watch it, save it for trial with Doug."

Lind's words without any fluctuation shattered the last fantasy of the two men. The soldiers who heard Lind's order went directly into the cell without any hesitation and tied the two men up tightly.
