Chapter 1145: Just a passer-by after all

The special envoy sent by the Senate to Marseille was a marquis, who carefully questioned Chen Hao and Aaron.

There is not much difference between the two people's stories.

The envoy judged that what the two said was true, so he did not stay in Marseille and returned to the Temple Mount, the location of the Blood Clan Senate, that night.

Chen Hao and Aaron continued to stay in Marseille City on standby.

Five days later, the Senate granted Chen Hao the title of earl, territory, and 100,000 gold coins.

Chen Hao, along with dozens of followers, rushed to his fiefdom... the Bega Valley.

Aaron still follows Chen Hao.

"Va...Lord Val...Thanks to you this time, not only am I alive, but I also received a reward from the Senate. A drop of prince's blood is enough for me to break through and become an earl." Aaron expressed his gratitude to Chen Hao with a little restraint.

Five days after leaving the Black Forest, this was the first time he expressed his gratitude to Chen Hao.

Before, although he helped Chen Hao to conceal the truth, the unfathomable Chen Hao also made him afraid and he dared not approach him.

Now he took the initiative to follow Chen Hao to the Bega Valley just to get closer to him.

In his opinion, Chen Hao's actual combat power far exceeds that of a marquis or even a duke. In the future, he may be promoted to a prince and take control of the Gangro clan.

After all, the only remaining prince of the Gangro clan is already old and sleeps in a pool of blood most of the time.

Making friends with such a powerful person would bring great benefits to him and the family behind him.

It took more than ten days for the team led by Chen Hao to reach the Bega Valley.

The Bega Valley, a basin with a radius of 300 miles, has fertile land, beautiful scenery and is extremely suitable for living.

The previous lord died in battle, and many earls of the Gangro clan, even the Honorable Earl, wanted to move their fiefdoms here.

Now that Chen Hao, impersonating Val, has made great contributions, at the suggestion of the Senate, the top leaders of the Gangro clan gave this place to Val.

Chen Hao led the team through the pass.

The baron and a hundred soldiers in charge of guarding the pass welcomed Chen Hao.

There are five roads through the mountains surrounding this fertile land.

There are checkpoints on every road.

It's just a small pass.

The main function of the five passes is to inspect and collect taxes from caravans entering and leaving the Bega Valley.

As for defending against the enemy...it's better than nothing, and at best it can serve as an external early warning.

Chen Hao didn't care about this.

"Bejia City has a population of over 100,000. In addition to Bejia City, there are more than 20 other towns in the Bejia Valley with a total population of over 300,000. However, this place is far from the border and has always been safe, so there are not many troops stationed here, with a total of 6,000 soldiers."

Aaron introduced Chen Hao to the general situation of the Bega Valley.

In the blood clan, a count can lead an entire legion on his own.

A legion, 20,000 soldiers.

Chen Hao, who had been promoted to earl, commanded 6,000 soldiers, which was indeed a bit shabby.

"Whether it's 6,000 or 20,000, it's all the same to me." Chen Hao didn't care how many troops he had under his command.

Once he explodes, he can defeat the entire world by himself.

"That's true." Aaron laughed.

After entering the Bega Valley, the team led by Chen Hao marched another hundred miles, and the Bega City built on the high ground appeared in front of them.

The city walls, watchtowers, blockhouses and almost all buildings are made of light brown granite walls and red roofs.

The color was much brighter than the gray-white vampire city that Chen Hao had seen before, and it was very special.

The nobles and garrison generals in the city went out of the city together to welcome Chen Hao.

When Chen Hao approached, more than a hundred noble men and women performed the chest-touching ceremony.

Chen Hao, who was riding on a big white horse, nodded slightly, then led the team into the city. Men, women, young and old in the city lined the streets to welcome him.

Many beautiful women cheered and waved, trying to attract Chen Hao's attention.

Chen Hao looked calm as he rode his horse through the long streets and finally entered the castle in the center of Bega City.

This castle is the city lord's mansion.

At the top of the highest tower of the castle, Chen Hao and Val appeared one after another, from where one could overlook the entire city.

"Not bad..." Chen Hao looked around and praised the clean, tidy and carefully designed Bega City.

If this city were in another world, it would definitely be comparable to those ancient cities in Europe that fascinate tourists from all over the world.

If he was really a vampire count, it would be a blessing for him to stay here with his family and loved ones.

But he is not.

After all, he is just a passer-by in this city.

Next, Chen Hao asked the entourage leader Tasio to manage the castle, similar to a butler, and appointed Aaron as the city defense officer.

Chen Hao did not replace the garrison generals in the territory, and everything remained the same.

………………

Temple Mount.

The location of the Blood Clan Senate.

On the top of a fairyland-like mountain, inside an ancient hall, thirty-two grand dukes sat around a huge stone table.

These thirty-two grand dukes are the elders of the Senate and also represent the major clans.

"The mystery of the Black Forest has been solved. We need to make a decision as soon as possible on how to deal with it." The deputy patriarch of the Monroe clan spoke first.

"The stronger the person, the greater the chance of dying in the Black Forest. I really can't figure out how to deal with it."

"Just dealing with the human race consumes a huge amount of resources every year, and countless outstanding people die in battle. If there is one more Black Forest..."

"We can't just sit there and wait for death!"

"Right now, the most difficult problem is not the Black Forest, but the human race. The human emperor built a heavenly altar, saying it was for offering sacrifices to heaven, but in fact he wanted to borrow the power of heaven and earth to break the fate of the royal family and live forever!"

"How is it possible for the human emperor to live forever?"

"The news sent back by the Changsheng Sect should be true."

"Then let the Changsheng Sect destroy the altar at all costs!"

"The altar is in Shengjing, where many powerful human beings gather. If the people of Changsheng Sect destroy the altar, it will be like walking into a trap."

The elders expressed their opinions.

We discussed like this for most of the hour, but there was no progress.

The deputy patriarch of the Monroe clan frowned helplessly, but said nothing more, because he didn't know how to deal with the Black Forest and the Altar.

Go with the flow.

This is probably their only option.

"Defying the will of heaven and changing fate, how can a little Yongchang do what the Emperor Taizu of the Xia Dynasty couldn't do?!"

The sudden sound echoed in the hall.

The elders present were trembling with fear.

An old man in gorgeous clothes walked into the hall step by step.

The thirty-two elders present immediately stood up and saluted respectfully.

Because this old man is the patriarch of the Assamite clan, the real prince, Mekodo.

"What are your instructions?"

"instruct……"

Mekodo glanced at the elder who asked the question and shook his head.

The elders were confused.
