Start as Inherited Baroness

"What's going on?" Simon looked at Mai Lan in confusion and asked.

"My lord, the soldiers under Baron Leroy wanted to leave this morning, but our people stopped them, and a conflict broke out between the two sides.

We subdue them all, what are we going to do with these people?

After interrogation, they were all soldiers from Windmill Town. "Mai Lan asked for instructions.

"All will be executed secretly." Simon pondered for a moment and then ordered softly.

"Yes!" Mailan responded, turned and left.

"Many people performed well in this siege. I am going to confer a group of honorary knights and ask these people to come to the Lord's Hall..."

Simon then looked at Sarit and read some names, there were twelve in total, all with the strength of the Golden Warrior.

The young man who ascended the throne before was not strong enough and had died in battle, so naturally he could not be canonized.

Sarit responded.

It didn't take long for the people whose names were called to gather together excitedly.

Simon sat on the main seat in the hall and encouraged them, and then held a canonization ceremony and appointed them as honorary knights.

He was also awarded half a volume of Knight's Breathing Technique on the spot.

Baron Deacon also had a book called Swift Wind Knight Breathing Method, which was also captured by Simon and added to the library.

After that, more than half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Sarit briefly trained the surrendered 1,000 militiamen, making them stronger than before.

Simon can't stay here for a long time, it's time to return to Fort Valor.

Let Phyllis the honorary knight and a newly-confessed honorary knight lead two hundred veterans of the Eastern Guards Corps and lead a thousand newly surrendered militiamen to station here and supervise the serfs.

These two knights are both in the team column on the panel. They are both loyal to one hundred and reliable.

When Simon led his army to leave, he took away Baron Dickon's entire family, as well as more than 500 of his confidants.

These people are relatively strong and can be broken up and sent to various mines to mine. They are a good labor force.

In addition, more than 500 of the remaining 1,500 surrendered militiamen were released and allowed to go home to farm, and the rest were also taken with them.

As for the slave manor near Changfeng Castle, Simon did not take it away because there was a lot of farmland cultivated around it and serfs were needed to take care of it.

A few days later, Simon led his army outside Baron Leroy's camp.

Staying here are an old steward of Baron Leroy and a young honorary knight, in addition to dozens of standing soldiers.

"Greetings, Lord Earl! Congratulations on your triumphant return!

Baron LeRoy is missing for some reason. Is something wrong? "The old housekeeper opened the gate of the camp and went out to greet him.

"Baron LeRoy was brave and courageous. He took the lead in the battle with Baron Deacon's army. He was surrounded and died in the battle."

Simon said nothing, and Mailan spoke.

"Ah!!? What!?" The old housekeeper trembled when he heard this, and scanned the army with wide eyes.

He didn't find anyone familiar, and his face turned pale.

"Give him the body of Baron Leroy. In addition, I will keep Kairaf and the knights Morey, who will lead troops to guard this territory.

Of course, they are helping Richard fulfill his obligations as a feudal knight, and you don't have to pay any money or food. "

At this time, Simon smiled lightly.

"Yes! Thank you, Lord Earl!" The old housekeeper was sweating profusely and thanked him respectfully.

Kairaf and Morei stayed behind, stationed in Greenwood Town, and occupied the only stone castle in the town, achieving de facto occupation.

After that, Simon did not stay too much and led the army all the way back to Fort Courage.

"The newly captured militiamen of one thousand were put into reserves for training, and Sarit was in charge.

Other things can be handled as usual. Simon gave the order and went to the castle to take a hot bath.

For more than three months, nothing special happened.

The weather is calm and the years are peaceful.

Thanks to Simon's hard work, the four daughters, Winnieth, Kailin, Milin and Yaxue, all became pregnant again.

When he was bored, he even hooked up with Baron Deacon's real wife and two lovers, which made him happy.

It also has a unique flavor and is quite exciting.

In addition, Prince Ferdy's widow Adela also sneaked in several times to have an affair with Simon and satisfy her desires.

However, the lives of the freedmen in the territory were not so comfortable. Except for those who were recruited to build city walls and mine, there was no source of food.

Simon only distributed food once when they first moved here, which was enough for more than ten days. It was impossible for him to be a nanny and support these people for nothing.

If they want to eat food, they still have to buy it themselves. What should they do if they don’t have money? The only option is to lower oneself and become the slave of the Earl.

The life of the slaves was not bad. Although they did not eat well, they were not hungry.

Therefore, during this period, the number of male and female serfs under Simon's command increased sharply, once exceeding 50,000.

The number of slave manors is close to 300, all over the Valorous Territory, and there are also some in the Fearless Territory.

As time goes by slowly, this winter passes quietly.

There was only one bad weather event during this period. During those ten days, Simon estimated that the temperature was about minus ten degrees.

There was a little damage, but it wasn't serious, and the bit of cold was nothing.

It was a cold spring day, and on this day, Simon and the knights gathered together in the Lord's Hall again.

"My lord, the Governor of Changxiang Territory sent an edict yesterday to revoke the earl title of the Earl of Brave Territory and take back the ten territories previously awarded.

The reason is... the blood is low, and the son of a horse breeder can hardly be included in the ranks of the nobility..."

Mad said cautiously, looking at Simon, and seeing that his face was calm, he continued to preach.

"Looking for death! ! Damn Prince Seger! Let him become a grandson! ! "

"Cut off his dog head!"

"Sir! Send troops! Kill to Changxiangling!"

......

The arrogant soldiers and generals shouted and the crowd was excited.

Simon stretched out his hand and pressed it in vain, and the hall suddenly became quiet.

"Sarrit, how is the training of the 6,000 reserve troops?" He asked calmly.

"Reporting to the lord, they have all been trained and have reached the level of regular soldiers.

In addition, the armor and weapons are all fully equipped and can be divided into troops at any time." Sarrit stood up and reported.

Simon nodded and pondered for a moment: "The East Guard Corps and the West Guard Corps are each assigned 2,500 soldiers.

The remaining 1,000 people will be given to the patrol corps. "

"Mad, send a seal to the governor of Changxiang Territory, refute their absurd remarks, and refuse to accept the order.

In addition, Prince Seger is kind-hearted and will not arbitrarily reduce the title of the lord. There must be traitors around him!

As the most loyal vassal of the royal family, I must eliminate the traitors around the prince. Wall, please help me write an anti-traitor manifesto..."

Simon ordered calmly.

"Yes! Lord Earl! The subordinates will definitely live up to your trust!" Wall and Mad both stood up and said firmly.

"The preparation of food and grass will be the responsibility of the political officer Mad.

In addition, notify the princess Adela who is entrenched in Muye Territory and ask her to come to discuss matters." Simon ordered.

Just then, the soldier standing guard outside the door came in and reported: "Lord Earl, there is a letter from Lord Marquis Val of Morning Star City!"
