Start as Inherited Baroness

A few hours later, the door to the Lord's Hall opened.

Adela walked out neatly dressed and with a graceful face, followed closely by Simon.

If someone is careful, they may notice that her hair is a little wet and her complexion is a little pinker than before.

"Come in, everyone, I want to announce something." Simon ordered.

"Yes! Sir!" Ma De and others were waiting outside and hurriedly responded.

Everyone walked into the Lord's Hall again and took their seats according to their status.

People with sharp eyes saw intriguing traces somewhere beside the long table. Although they made some assumptions in their minds, they were still watching their noses, and those who watched their noses and hearts did not dare to say anything.

"This time Princess Adela brought me the canonization order. Prince Feidi had already made me an earl before leaving for the expedition.

It's just that some things delayed it and it wasn't delivered until now.

In addition, His Highness also entrusted me with ten territories directly under the jurisdiction of Xisai..." Simon announced.

As soon as these words came out, Mader, Salit and others were stunned in surprise, and it took several breaths to recover.

"Congratulations, Lord Simon! You have been promoted to earl!"

Ma De was the first to react and congratulated with a smile.

"Meet the Earl!" Others also congratulated.

"Okay, let's all disperse and implement the established development plan." Simon ordered with a faint smile.

"Yes! Sir!" Everyone stood up and saluted, and then walked out of the Lord's Hall.

"Chunlan! Let the kitchen prepare a sumptuous meal. I want to entertain Princess Adela."

Simon shouted again after the others dispersed.

"Yes! Master~" Chunlan responded and immediately made arrangements.

When no one was around, Simon looked around, then held Adela on his lap again, talking dirty words and playing with the big mines.

So happy.

A few days later.

They had fun secretly for the past few days, and Simon tried his best to make Adela feel weak in her legs and numb in her waist every day, and she couldn't care less about it.

But business was still important. After she composed herself, she left with some reluctance and went to Muyuan Territory to build a territory.

Under Simon's sweet words and double-sided attack, she also revealed a lot of useful information.

The woman also sealed off all the remaining five territories in the Xisai Direct Territory.

It was just given to her direct subordinates, who were also related to her, some distant relatives, similar to domestic slaves.

Four of them are in the north, connected with the Shuixia Territory, and the remaining piece is the Makino Territory, which was entrusted to a young man named Delia.

It is said that she is only fifteen years old, and she calls Adela her sister when no one is around.

His mother is Adela's wet nurse, so the relationship should be relatively close.

After settling this matter, Simon rested for a few days, then gathered the soldiers of the Brave Guards and the Western Guards, brought along catapults and other siege equipment, and prepared to do something.

After Verrill died in battle, his territory had not yet been settled.

Who should inherit? Simon plans to intervene.

After all, nearly half of the land in Duishi Territory was entrusted to his son.

There is nothing wrong with him leading troops to participate in the selection of the successor.

One day later, Simon arrived outside the lord's camp in the Duishi Territory.

There were some mercenaries standing guard on the wall of the stronghold. When they saw their army coming, they looked very nervous and shouted and ran back and forth.

After a while, several mercenaries riding traveling horses rushed out of the camp.

"May I ask, Your Excellency, Earl of Courageous Territory? I wonder why you bring a large army to our place?"

The leader, who was wearing heavy armor and seemed to be a knight, shouted.

"How did you know that I was promoted to earl?" Simon asked doubtfully.

"Your Majesty, Earl, we have received a letter from the Governor-General of Xisai, Chang Xiangling. Congratulations!!"

The knight smiled flatteringly.

"Oh, that's it!" Simon nodded.

It was probably that Adela had sent someone to spread the news in advance, and she expected that Simon would not be able to resist such temptation.

“Baron Verrill has died in battle, you should have received the news, right?

During his lifetime, he entrusted me to help him choose an heir. "Simon then laughed again.

"This... Lord Earl! Baron Verrill's wife, Lady Myriel, has chosen an heir... and is about to send the news to Chang Xiangling..."

The heavily armored knight's eyes flickered, wondering.

"What? Miriel is just a slutty bitch, what qualifications do she have to be the mistress of a clan!

Previously, his father Damiel openly rebelled and colluded with the Baron of the Greenland Territory to invade our Valorous Territory. He was executed by Verrill himself!

Verrill also commissioned me to kill Miriel before he died, so hurry up and capture her! Only in this way can one save his life! "

Simon shouted calmly and waved his hand, and Airei immediately began to direct the soldiers to deploy siege equipment.

The camp in front of you is just a wooden building, so it is not difficult to break through.

However, Tomahawk Castle near Tomahawk Village in the north is still a bit difficult.

The size of that fortress is close to Kazama Castle. Although the city wall is a little shorter, it is still more than seven meters.

A strong attack will inevitably result in the loss of some soldiers.

"Ah!!" When the knight heard this, his face was filled with shock, and he quickly ran back to the camp.

"No! Earl Simon is really here to attack us!" He ran to the Lord's Hall and said in panic.

There is a large bed-like chair placed in the north of the hall, on which Miriel is having fun with a few strong men.

"Ah! What can we do?! How many people did he bring??"

Miriel's face was bright red. After hearing this, she immediately pushed away and stood up, her face changed drastically.

"At least four to five thousand soldiers! And there are many large siege equipment, including catapults!

He said he would help Verrill kill... kill you! "

The knight was covered in cold sweat and his face was very ugly.

"Asshole!! This horse-breeding pariah! How dare you bully me like this!"

Miriel was so angry that she gnashed her teeth and cursed loudly.

"Go and call my brothers and brothers quickly to discuss a countermeasure!

How about we lure Simon in and kill him? "Myriel's eyes were confused, and she was obviously in a state of confusion.

Upon hearing this, the knight silently ran out of the lord's hall, seemingly to call someone.

Simon, who was outside the city, ordered Mailan beside him: "Tell the people in the camp to give them only one hour.

If they don't come out and surrender at that time, they will launch an attack. After the stronghold is broken, no armor will be left. "

"Yes! Sir!"

Mailan responded and asked the archer to shoot a letter into it. He shouted for a while and conveyed the message.

Knights such as Airey, Phyllis, Shelter, and Wall were busy assembling battering rams and catapults.

The wall is no more than five meters long, and even a ladder truck cannot be used to move it.

In fact, conquering such a camp did not require such a large battle. Simon just wanted to practice his skills.

After all, the soldiers under his command have only experienced field battles and have never attempted to siege a city.

About thirty or forty minutes later, there was sudden movement on the wall of the village again.

Several knights in heavy armor carried shields and walked to the gate of the village. One of them shouted: "Lord Earl Simon! I have something to say!

Look, what is this? We don't dare to be your enemy! ! "
