Start as Inherited Baroness

During this period, there were not many incidents in Simon's territory, only some miscellaneous bandits were causing chaos, doing some petty thefts, and moving trees to block the road.

Knights such as Ai Lei led troops to take turns to clear out and killed hundreds of bandits. Their heads were all hung on trees by the roadside, and wooden signs were erected to explain the reasons.

Under such high pressure, it finally calmed down a lot.

However, this kind of thing is difficult to prevent. After all, there are still many unidentified refugees pouring into the West Seti, and they can only send troops to eliminate them continuously.

This is not all bad for Simon, at least he can train his troops.

The Mage Corps has been busy with the army these days, and the experience is gained very quickly.

So far, several senior mages have been born, while Winness and Kailin are still middle-level mages, and their progress is slow.

They are now pampered and well-off. On weekdays, they just feed their children, eat, drink and have fun, and their experience grows very slowly.

But now they have passed the initial stage, and they don't need to work hard in person.

Ivna's progress is good. She is one step away from becoming a high-level mage. It is probably related to her experimenting with alchemy all day long.

In addition, several honorary knights who followed the bandit suppression all day long became bronze knights. They were all heavy armored guards who followed Simon before.

And he himself also upgraded one level, adding it to the command, and this skill reached level ten.

The upper limit of the team column has increased greatly, and more than 8,600 people can be pulled in.

In addition, the effect of increasing loyalty has also been improved, becoming two points per week, which is much faster.

In addition, Simon has also achieved a lot through his own training.

Iron bones have been upgraded by two levels to level ten, and fighting spirit has also been upgraded by one level to level twenty-one.

And magic has also been upgraded by one level to level four. If it is upgraded by one level, it can be promoted to a medium mage.

In terms of territory, there has been a steady stream of refugees arriving these days, and the total population has exceeded the 500,000 mark.

They are scattered in several territories, with the courageous territory and the fearless territory accounting for the majority.

The originally barren land of West Sai finally had some people.

Whenever a certain number of people arrived, Simon would select some young and strong people from them and fill them into the army.

Now the army has expanded to more than 10,000, but the combat power is not strong, generally just the level of ordinary people, and can only be regarded as militia.

The newly recruited soldiers have not yet completed their training, so they have not been assigned to the army.

At noon that day, after Simon and Ivna discussed some knowledge of alchemy, they went to the training ground as usual to practice the warrior body-building method.

At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, suddenly a gatekeeper honor knight came to report: "My Lord, there is a woman who wants to see you.

She claims to be from the Middle-earth Continent, the Holy Spirit Church, the missionary patriarch of the City of Saint Science."

"Please ask her to come to the Lord's Hall." Simon heard the words, stopped exercising, wiped the sweat, washed his face, and ordered.

"Yes!" The honor knight immediately took the order and left.

Simon came to the Lord's Hall and sat in the first seat waiting.

After a while, a tall woman in a light yellow robe walked in under the guidance of the guards.

Simon looked up and carefully examined this person, and his eyes lit up.

This woman was about 1.75 meters tall, big in every way, but with a slender waist that could be held in one hand, a dignified and kind face, and skin as white as milk.

She looked to be about 25 years old.

"Milu Darleven, the missionary patriarch of Saint Coe City, greets the Earl!" The woman saluted respectfully.

Simon heard the voice and then withdrew his eyes from her chest. The turbulence of this woman was really the most he had ever seen in his life.

"Patriarch Milu, please sit down." He smiled lightly.

"Thank you, Earl." Milu sat down at the side of the long table with elegant manners.

"I am thousands of miles away from the Middle-earth Continent. I wonder what you are doing here?" Simon asked.

"We are instructed by the Holy Spirit to bring the Eagle Kingdom under the divine glory.

The Holy Punishment Army has conquered Eagle City, and the Holy Light Knights and the Holy Advent Legion have also landed at White Owl Port.

The Holy Spirit has mercy on the world and is willing to give the lost lambs a chance to reform.

As long as you are willing to bathe in the glory of the Holy Spirit, all past mistakes can be forgiven..." Mi Lu said devoutly.

Simon's eyes wandered around her, and after she finished preaching, he whispered: "Then what?"

"His Majesty the Patriarch is willing to appoint you as the Archbishop of West Sedi to help the Holy Spirit shepherd one side.

In addition, the Archbishop can have multiple spouses, and I hope you can accept me.

My father is Cardinal Merlint Darleven."

Mi Lu smiled and straightened her waist, making her curves look more thrilling.

"The sincerity of the Holy Spirit Church is okay, but it's too early for me to bet now..." Simon said in his heart.

The hierarchy in the Holy Spirit Church is strict, and the highest one is called the Patriarch, and there is only one person.

Next are the cardinals, a total of eight people, all of whom have the possibility of becoming patriarchs.

The next step is the archbishop, who is generally responsible for the pastoral care of a region and is a dispatched official, equivalent to a frontier official.

Then there are the bishops, who are responsible for the church affairs of a city, followed by the missionary patriarchs, etc.

"I want to ask, what is the relationship between Marquis Val and you?" Simon pondered for a while and smiled faintly.

"You guessed right, the Marquis was funded by us.

But he did not respond to our call, he is a treacherous person." Mi Lu responded.

"Oh! So that's why he can afford so many slave soldiers.

But how did you hide it?" Simon asked in confusion.

"We first helped him form a cross-sea caravan. I don't know the details. I'm just a patriarch.

And my father has many daughters, I am just more outstanding in appearance..." Mi Lu smiled modestly.

"I still have questions. I remember there was a large-scale war in Middle-earth before. Was it you who caused it?"

"That war naturally had our shadow, and the cause was..."

Mi Lu started talking freely, which greatly broadened Simon's horizons.

As we chatted, the sun set before we knew it, and it was dusk again.

Simon ordered the chef to cook a sumptuous dinner to entertain the guests.

He and Mi Lu were still chatting enthusiastically, and it had to be said that the cardinal's daughter knew a lot, and was even more knowledgeable than Adela.

"Having said so much, I still don't know what your lordship thinks?"

After the two had a candlelight dinner and chatted until about ten o'clock in the evening, Mi Lu became a little unsteady and asked.

"If I agree to your conditions, what do I need to do?" Simon said with a smile.

“Please allow us to preach in your territory, and when the time comes, you need to raise troops to respond to the holy war.

Of course, you can hide now. After all, West Side is thousands of miles away from the royal territory. "Mi Lu said with a smile.

"I remember that there is a Crusader in the Changbao area of ​​Lingu. Is there no need to go over and help?" Simon said in surprise.

"That's Cardinal Colin's arrangement, we can't interfere." Mi Lu responded.

"Oh! Haha...Okay! I will agree to your conditions!"

Simon immediately responded with a laugh. It seemed that there was also fierce internal fighting in the Holy Spirit Church, so there was really nothing to fear.

After that, he stood up and walked behind Mi Lu, looking at the exquisite curves of her slender waist and huge hips, and raised his hand...
