Because Miss Hubbs is just a troublemaking little girl in the eyes of everyone, and Lorne Fast is the guy with the power and his own army.
As long as Lorne is taken care of, Anna will be nothing more than a minor trouble.
John had already thought of an excuse, and in order to force Lorn to submit, he also prepared several good tricks for Lorn.
If Baron Fast doesn't appreciate praise, don't blame him for not caring about the friendship between the two.
But before that, John must first obtain the support of other nobles in the north.
In his opinion, today's scene is the key to determining the future, and he is fully prepared for this.
Even the method of dealing with the Northern Army was told to the Duke of Stuart personally by John.
The use of the Archduke's body aroused the anger of the people in the North.
After losing their minds, they already lacked a person to coordinate the overall situation.
The northern army composed of many lords will become a group of disorganized mobs.
Although the fighting strength still exists, the war can be won by courage alone.
Then Keira is the biggest winner, and the army composed of believers is the soldier who is least likely to be defeated.
This was what the Duke of the Sea had seen with his own eyes, so he felt comfortable using the believers he had summoned to have a face-to-face contest with the angry warriors from the north.
On one side were strong soldiers who were dominated by anger and with red eyes seeking revenge, and on the other side were farmers fighting for their faith and land.
The two sides were fighting so fiercely that even the instigator, the Duke of Stuart, could not bear to watch.
He swore that even the northern battlefields he had seen when he was young were not as intense as the battle in front of him.
The people of the North are famous for their recklessness, but the farmer who just took up arms yesterday is the one who scares the Duke the most.
Compared with the hard-tempered warriors in the north, the farmers are definitely no match for them in fighting.
So this was an asymmetrical battle, and its brutal scenes were also scenes of a large number of peasants wearing Stuart family armor but with little combat experience being massacred.
But even in this situation of being suppressed and beaten, the farmer, who was not even good at wielding a sword, just caused a lot of casualties to the northern army in a gesture of dying together.
Even with their superior numbers, the battle was once in a stalemate.
Duke Stuart even doubted that if he sent his most elite troops at this time, he would be able to achieve the final victory.
Unfortunately, this is just an idea, and lack of stamina is the farmer's biggest shortcoming.
Moreover, the purpose of the Duke and John was not to defeat the Northern Army on the frontal battlefield, because that would not be able to complete their plan at all.
Lure the lords of the north to join the battle, annihilate their soldiers, and make them fearful so that John can get the most support.
So after more than an hour of fierce fighting, the farmers who were treated as cannon fodder by the Duke finally couldn't hold on anymore and began to desert on a large scale.
He immediately issued an order to retreat.
The flag representing the Stuart family began to retreat, and after a bloody battle, more than 10,000 corpses were left behind.
No one doubted that this was the Duke's trick.
In the fierce fighting situation, the northern side didn't even know that they were fighting only some farmers.
With the thinking of people in the north, they cannot understand the wealth of the Stuart family.
Even if they are cannon fodder, they are dressed no differently from ordinary soldiers of the Stuart family.
Seeing large swaths of Stuart soldiers begin to flee in all directions, victory naturally belongs to the North.
But their goal is not only to defeat the enemy, but to capture the culprit who trampled on the honor of the North is everyone's wish.
They did not forget the provocative behavior of the Stuart family.
Even after they escaped, the body still hanging on the flagpole was still so conspicuous.
There was no need to search for it deliberately, just follow that special flag, and the soldiers from the north launched the final attack.
They want to capture the Duke of Stuart and retrieve the body of the Archduke of the North.
And no matter who captured the Duke of the Sea alive or snatched back the body of the Duke of the North, it would be an unimaginable honor.
There are plenty of things that Lorne doesn't mind, but people are fighting for them.
Even the noble marquises brought their own guards to join the pursuit.
The entire army going south and most of the nobles started this final feast.
The people who stayed behind were also a little ready to take action.
The death of the Northern Archduke was a huge blow to them.
If Duke Stuart cannot be captured, all of them will lose face when they return to the North.

But since they will be left behind, most of them must be insignificant little nobles.
Otherwise, there is a special reason, such as Hayden.
Rumors about Lorne's collusion with the Stuart family were spreading.
Even if he didn't believe that Lorne would ignore his hometown, he still needed to be just in case.
As the leader of the Guardian Legion, he was required to stay behind to take care of the remaining soldiers of the Fast family.
At the same time, he also served as a reserve for the entire southward force, guarding the baggage and ensuring the escape route for everyone.
But originally such a job was not performed by Hayden, so Earl Harrison was also eager to use fighting to wash away his shame.
It's a pity that a mission is a mission.
Not only can he not abandon his responsibilities and run to join the battle, he also has to work hard to calm the anger of his subordinates.
The Grand Duke of the North was killed, which was a shame for all the people of the North.
From the perfunctory start, the morale of the entire army going south has reached its peak.
Facing the angry northern army, any enemy who stood in the way could only be crushed into powder.
The situation gradually got out of control, and even Hayden couldn't completely calm it down, but some people behaved very calmly.
"Your Majesty the Earl, the soldiers of your Guardian Legion are almost out of control.
If you want to join the war, although our Stany family only brings 5,000 people, I can contact other lords to protect the safety of the camp."
While Hayden stood on horseback overlooking the battle, Bowen, who was also left behind for his own reasons, suddenly came to Earl Harrison and said these words.
If Count Stany had said this when the situation of the war was still unclear, Hayden would definitely think that Bowen had some conspiracy.
But now, looking at the Stuart family soldiers running around in the fields, if it was a fake defeat, then they were pretending too much.
Even the Stuart family has been defeated.
If Bowen still thinks about the family, he should know which side he is on.
After looking at Count Stany with a sincere face, Hayden secretly gave a few instructions to the people left behind and then accepted the earl's kindness.
Killing is the nature of the people in the North.
Even in the civilized era, they are always thirsty for blood.
After Hayden left with the people, looking at the northern soldiers chasing Stuart's deserters, Count Stany couldn't help but sigh at his son
