Chapter 169: 1 hour and 22 minutes to speed through the capital of England
Deya was amused by his brother's teasing, and also felt the liveliness that was unique to his age.

You have to know that whether before or after the time travel, Deya’s age is actually not that old.

It’s just that he has been encountering various things, which made Deya show a maturity that is not in line with his age and lack youthfulness.

He turned sideways and introduced her to his brother, "Lamia Capet, I don't think I need to introduce her. Father must have talked about her a lot in private."

Lamia, wearing a black dress, with a beautiful face and a cold expression, walked forward.

She performed a noble salute and greeted softly, "Hello, Sir Gavin Cavendish."

"Hello, Miss Capet."

Gavin was not a person who liked red tape, but at this moment, facing his possible future 'brother-in-law', he also bowed solemnly.

After introducing Lamia, Deya looked at Mavis and said, "As for this maid, there is no need for me to introduce her."

Mavis, who had been wearing a maid outfit with a pair of bare white feet, gritted her teeth and said angrily, "What do you mean there is no need for introductions? I am Mavis, Emerald Crown."

Mavis introduced herself with the courtesy of a high elf.

"Good afternoon, Miss High Elf."

Even Gavin's eyes flashed with amazement when he saw Mavis's petite face and her beauty that was hard to describe in words.

Emerald Crown. Although he didn't know what the name meant, this ancient High Elf language must mean that the elf's status was not low.

Seeing that Deya was able to trick such a beautiful high elf into becoming his maid, Gavin was very impressed and secretly gave him a thumbs up.

Deya introduced Upton to his brother, and the two sides met each other.

"Your sister-in-law is in the house. It's a bit cold outside. Let's go inside first."

The Cavendish family's ancestral home is like an old castle fortress, and the bricks on the outside look a bit shabby.

Seeing these wall bricks is like facing history, as if seeing how the ancestors of the Cavendish family, as pioneering knights, struggled to establish their initial territory here.

Deya had already taken the bone dragon back into the negative energy space. He followed his brother and walked into the castle.

"Sister-in-law? Brother, you're calling me that before you even get married?"

Deya teased.

"Your sister-in-law and I are already married."

"Already married? When did it happen? Why didn't I know about it?"

Deya's eyes widened.

"Not long after Earl Austin died in battle, your sister-in-law and I got married. The wedding was simple, and since it was a wartime, no one was invited.

You had something important to do at the time, so my father and I decided not to inform you so as not to disturb you."

Gavin said without caring at all.

These border nobles could be at war at any time and did not strictly observe aristocratic etiquette.

Otherwise, for a big event like marriage, many relatives and friends would be invited. It would not be so casual.

"The wedding is so simple, doesn't my sister-in-law mind?"

"Haha, have you forgotten Bree's personality? She wouldn't care about these things."

Deya thought of the big sister who was like a female King Kong, and nodded in understanding.

The other party is also a border noble, and everyone has the same living habits.

At the same time, many thoughts flashed through Deya's mind.

One of the reasons why my father chose this time to let my brother and the eldest sister get married was probably to stabilize the parliamentary faction.

This was to tell other nobles that even if Austin County fell and the Earl died in battle, the Cavendish family would not regret the engagement.

This wedding is of vital importance.

Although it is not yet the cold winter wind, the weather in Cavendish Territory is getting colder as autumn has arrived.

When you enter the castle, you will see that the walls and floors are covered with expensive blankets, making the entire castle very warm.

The huge hall, the armor placed in every corner, the portraits hanging on the walls, and the maids coming and going to greet the "young master" all tell of the heritage of the Cavendish family.

In any case, the Cavendish family is also a family with a history of 400 years.

Although they cannot compare with the ancient nobles, they are also not something that the emerging nobles can rival.

"Deya!"

Not long after entering the castle, a sturdy woman came over laughing.

The woman was dressed in warrior clothes and had well-developed muscles. She had a terrifying body shape that could kill a tiger with one punch.

She came in front of Deya and gave him a big hug.

"Sister-in-law."

Deya felt like his bones were about to be broken.

Bridget looked at Deya, she gestured her height and said with a smile: "When I saw you last time, you were only this tall. Now you have grown so big, but why are you still so thin, like a skinny dog."

The female warrior squeezed Deya's arm, showed off her biceps, and said, "During the time you are at home, work out well with me and your brother.

With your body, you won’t even be able to satisfy women, and your family will be in disharmony.”

As she said this, Bridget looked at Lamia and Mavis.

Mavis hesitated to speak, and finally thought about it and was too lazy to refute.

This woman thinks of me as Deya's meat, right?
Lamia had nothing to refute because she really had sex with Deya.

As for Bridget, before coming here, Deya had told her about the character of this tomboy.

But even after seeing it, Lamia still felt resentful in her heart.

This is really too bold. To be able to say such words directly in front of so many people without being shy at all, this is truly aristocratic.

But looking at Bridget's sturdy figure, Lamia felt that she didn't seem to be shy.

"Boss!"

Behind Bridget were two men, one fat and one thin, about the same age as Deya.

They were the sons of the two counts whom I had met in Abrana before, Anthony Austin and Baron Laurent.

Deya looked at his brother.

Gavin explained, "After Earl Austin died in battle, Anthony and Bridget have been living in our house. Earl Laurent asked Barron to come here, and now he is my knight squire."

Deya immediately understood the meaning.

With the death of Earl Austin in battle, only two of the three border giants were left. The parliamentary faction was also hit hard, and the small and medium-sized nobles were also ready to make moves. The entire alliance could collapse at any time.

Count Laurent was a man of great courage. At this time, he chose to stand firmly with the Cavendish family.

Today, Count Laurent is taking over from his brother and fighting on the front line against the Dukedom's counterattacks.

He sent his youngest son to the Cavendish Territory to serve as his brother's knight squire, which was also to tell the Cavendish family that he would never betray his allies.

Even though these border nobles don't care about red tape, many things and choices have political significance.

With these thoughts in mind, Deya whispered to Bridget and Anthony, "I am also saddened by the passing of Earl Austin. Please accept my condolences."

Bridget was still carefree: "No need to talk about all that nonsense. The sad time is over. Now I just want to poke the assholes of those bastards in England and avenge my father!" Bridget's blunt words made Deya feel ashamed.

Anthony also nodded vigorously.

This little fat boy who used to eat and drink all the time and was always smiling seems to have grown up. He is no longer as fat as before, his body has become much stronger, and his face has become much more serious.

It seems that he was also hit hard and is training himself madly.

After the two sides met, Earl Cavendish just came down from upstairs, followed by his butler Celt.

"Father!"

"My Lord Count!"

"..."

Everyone hurried to greet Earl Cavendish.

"You're back, Deya."

The count had a gentle expression on his face. He nodded to Deya and then asked about the well-being of Lamia and others brought by Deya.

Before returning home, Deya had already introduced the origins of these people to the Earl, which made the Earl sigh that his second son was definitely not an ordinary person.

Not to mention Lamia's identity, as the heir to the Duke of the Empire, she could even inherit a large territory if handled properly.

Mavis is actually a member of the royal family of the high elves, and she has another identity, the Lord of the White Tower of the Nine-Ring Tower!
Only Upton is an ordinary wood elf, but he is also a sixth-ring wood elf and may be promoted to the seventh-ring, a powerful wood elf at any time.

Coupled with Deya's own undead army, the strength of this small group has actually long been beyond imagination.

"You came back just in time, and it's time for dinner too, let's eat together."

Now it was family gathering time, and the Earl did not discuss any serious matters, but instead invited everyone to go to the restaurant.

Around the long table, everyone sat down as host and guest.

Deya and his brother sat on both sides of the count.

On Deya's side sat Lamia, Mavis, and Upton.

On the brother's side were Bridget and others.

The maids served a sumptuous dinner.

Compared to the exquisite food at Abramana, the food at Cavendish is a bit rough, and most of it is meat.

Mavis and Upton were both elves and were not used to eating so much meat.

Upon seeing this, the Count asked the chefs to prepare fruits, vegetables and other food to entertain them.

"I'm sorry, I don't know much about the food culture of the elves. I'm sorry for neglecting you two."

The Earl apologized politely.

Neither Mavis nor Upton cared.

Both elves are above the sixth ring and can restrain the curse that comes from their blood.

Therefore, even if humans see them, they will not feel disgusted.

There is a special kind of beef in Cavendish County which is delicious. The steaks made from it are world-class and have been exported to many countries.

The steaks eaten by the Earl at home are naturally the best of the best.

Deya is a meat lover, and this steak was juicy and very satisfying.

After the meal, the maid brought almond cake and other desserts for people to enjoy.

The Earl was a humorous man. As the head of the family, he told the guests about some of the characteristics of Cavendish County and the history of his family's rise.

Although these things seem to be very boring, the Earl's remarks are still very interesting to listen to.

Finding topics to talk about and not boring guests is a skill that a qualified noble should master.

After eating and drinking, seeing that it was almost time, the Earl told the maids to take the guests to the guest rooms to rest.

After all, Cavendish County is a bit remote, unlike the royal palace or the duke's mansion, where there might be some singing and dancing performances at this time.

Everyone knew that the Earl wanted to have a private conversation with his two sons, so they all went to his guest room as the Earl instructed.

The Earl signaled Gavin and Deya with his eyes to follow him to his study.

Sitting on the sofa in the study, I lit the fire, and the maid brought desserts, tea and drinks.

In front of his two sons, the Earl didn't waste any words and went straight to the point:

“I just received intelligence that Patriarch Inglo, who has been in Austin, has set off with 50,000 of the most elite imperial guards.

He did not come to attack our territory, but headed for the heart of Susaitani. Along the way, Archduke Ferdinand and Duke Frederick did not stop him, and allowed the Patriarch to lead his army through their territory. "

With Patricia's reminder, Deya had already guessed what Inglu was planning. He said in a deep voice, "The Patriarch's target is the Dawn Church in Susetani."

The count nodded slightly: "I thought so too. After the Patriarch left, Rex Garcia led his army to approach our territory.

The two dukes also took advantage of the opportunity to intensify their crackdown on the parliamentary faction, and even captured the territories of some small nobles.

If it weren't for Count Laurent and I who had been resisting, I'm afraid the entire alliance would have fallen apart by now, but even so, we are under great pressure now that we are attacked from all sides."

After a pause, the Earl continued: "... This is all thanks to you, Deya. You captured the city of Berwick under Frederick's control before, which made Duke Frederick dare not act rashly.

It is your actions that have given confidence to the parliamentary group, but now they need more confidence."

Deya immediately understood what his father meant.

The aristocracy is not a steadfast class, and now faced with a crisis, many people within the parliamentary faction are ready to move.

In particular, the death of Earl Austin caused a rift within the entire parliamentary faction.

The reason why they are still persisting, or still betting, is partly because they believe in Deya's Undead Army!
It is true that Deya's undead army has a strong record of combat performance. It is a pure war machine that does not need supplies.

So in the eyes of other nobles, they still have hope of winning, and the hope is very high.

The Earl's intention was to let Deya do something surprising so as to strengthen the parliamentary faction's message and make them willing to continue following the Cavendish family.

De Yaliu thought for a moment, and then he said, "Father, since the Patriarch has brought out the most important imperial guards guarding the capital of England, does it mean that the capital of England is now very empty?"

The earl, who was about to drink tea, widened his eyes. He understood what Deya meant and said in disbelief: "Deya, do you want to...directly attack the capital of England?!"

This decision shocked both Deya's father and brother.

Deya nodded slightly.

He had used this tactic to change homes when the stars changed, and now was undoubtedly the time for this tactic to work wonders again.

Especially this time it is not a simple change of home, because Cavendish Territory has enough ability to fight a defensive battle!

My eldest brother’s tactics are a thousand years ahead of the world!

Moreover, when Deya first met the Count, he said that he wanted to complete:

He imprisoned young girls, started wars, incited the people, plotted rebellion, deceived the church, embezzled the kingdom's property, executed the king's entire family, fought back against England, and completed a spectacular journey through the capital of England in just one hour and 22 minutes.

Now, except for the execution of the king's entire family, he had done most of the things he had done.

Now is a good time to fulfill your vow and speed through England!

At worst, I won’t even want my own territory anymore and just treat England as my territory!
