"Earl Feng?!" The expressions of those present twitched with disbelief. They looked at the young man conversing and laughing with the Marquis, wondering if this young man was about to be granted the title of an Earl.
Albert, as Allen's father and a participant in this war, was the most shocked. Only those who had experienced the rigors of battle understood how challenging it was to secure victory on the battlefield.
With just 3,000 troops under Albert's command, it would have been a formidable task to take on an Earl, let alone three. The idea that Allen, his sixteen-year-old son, had single-handedly defeated three Earls was staggering.
Albert found himself grappling with countless thoughts. Allen's achievements were unprecedented. He had reached Earl status at the age of sixteen, a feat that left Albert astonished.
Lenerson smiled at Allen. "Allen, you've exceeded my expectations."
The Marquis of Wild Lion chimed in, "Indeed, you're the most exceptional young man I've ever met. Your Highness, shall we continue our conversation inside the castle over drinks?"
Lenerson agreed, and the group made their way into the castle. A feast was laid out with drinks, grilled meat, bread, caviar, and cheese.
Allen found himself at the center of attention due to Lenerson and the Marquis of Wild Lion. Many minor nobles and even counts approached him.
Allen handled the attention with calm composure, answering questions and engaging in conversation.
The banquet eventually came to an end, as the ongoing war required their attention. Although the Grand Duke of the opposing faction had fallen, resistance forces persisted.
Allen retired to his room to rest, preparing for the battles to come.
The following morning, the battles resumed. With two Marquises alongside Lane's army, Allen once again earned a substantial amount of merit points. His tally had reached nearly 800,000.
Following the fall of the second Marquis, most of the minor nobles in the Blue Moon Principality ceased their resistance. Only one Marquis remained steadfast.
Believing that Marquis Ryan was dealing with him, this Marquis soon found himself facing the combined forces of Allen, the Marquis of Wild Lion, and the Marquis of Red Flame. Resistance proved futile, and he too was defeated.
Allen amassed nearly 300,000 merit points in this victory.
His merit points had now surpassed 1.1 million, and they continued to rise as they dealt with remaining resistance forces at sea.
Allen's cavalry, which had expanded from 6,000 to 30,000, was unmatched on the battlefield, displaying relentless bravery.
The Marquises were thoroughly impressed. They had witnessed Allen's prowess firsthand, and he had become unstoppable on the battlefield.
Gradually, Allen gained the recognition and admiration of all nobles, and rumors began to circulate that he was the favored one of the God of War.
Some even referred to him as the invincible Lord of the Silver Wolf, given his powerful wolf cavalry.
With the Blue Moon Principality fully occupied, the national war concluded. Allen and the others began preparations to return to their respective territories.
"Baron Allen, we will soon meet in the capital," Prince Lenerson said before most people began departing from the Blue Moon Principality by boat.
Approximately 30,000 troops remained to maintain order in the newly acquired territory. This land now belonged to the Lane Principality.
As for Allen, he sailed back towards Rose Town on a ship, accompanied by his vast spoils of war.
