The trumpet of victory sounded in the Blue Magpie Castle, and all the nobles came to the largest hall in the Blue Magpie Castle happily, ready to see Lant's style.
Under everyone's attention, Lant entered the hall wearing magic-patterned iron armor, holding the hilt of his saber in his left hand, and holding his helmet in his right hand.
Because of the preferential treatment given by Alivia to demon possessors and the protection of their believers by the gods, even high-level professionals rarely kill other demon possessors with their own hands. Therefore, when the armor is covered with When the bloodstained Lant entered, everyone secretly took a deep breath.
The smell of blood filled the room, and everyone could tell that this was a man full of murderous intent.
Except for the count and a few people, more people didn't even dare to look at Lant.
Lant realized that he was too murderous and wanted to smile to ease the atmosphere, but his stiff smile looked more attractive, and many nobles who wanted to smile at him did not dare to move.
In front of the earl's seat, Lant knelt down on one knee and bowed in salute.
"Your Majesty, the Acting Baron of Baron Galloping Horse, Lant Galloping Horse, brings you good news. Since September 16, because my father and brother were robbed by barbarians, I have been forced to act as a baron in the territory and lead the people to the Galloping Horse Plains. Take refuge.
With the blessing of the God Emperor, our troops defeated more than 40 barbarian camps in the plains, killed more than a hundred barbarians, rescued a hundred robbed knights and reserve knights, rescued more than 350 demon supporters, and rescued more than 4,000 people. Everywhere they went, they were attacked. Welcome.
After the knights under his command fought hard, Lot was recovered, the enemy chief was crowned, and the war subsided. Please. . . "
"Okay!" The Earl shouted, directly interrupting Lant's less than 400-word report, and got down from his seat to help Lant.
"I'd say all Huck's kids are great boys, and you did a good job."
"grown ups"
"You just said that there are 500 Demon Holders in your team?"
"100 knights, 350 devil-wielders and 300 barbarian devil-wielders who defected"
"Huh!" The sound of breathing sounded again.
"It is indeed not easy to place these people." The count supported Lant.
"This time the Viscount Roth family was destroyed by the barbarians. The Galloping Horse family and the Roth family are from the same clan. Are you an intermediate knight now?"
"Yes, my lord"
"Okay, then you will inherit the title of Viscount Roth."
"What?" A viscount from the south suddenly said something. Lant subconsciously turned back to look at him, and the viscount immediately sounded the alarm.
"I don't mean anything else," the Viscount hurriedly explained.
Earl Maned Wolf ignored the noise on the side and continued, "Lant, you have been working hard recently. There are a group of knights and people outside, and you, Huck, and Ryan haven't seen each other for a long time.
A grand dinner was supposed to be held today to celebrate the greatest victory over the barbarians in our Northwest Territories in decades. Unfortunately, the castle was besieged for many days and there was not enough food and beer.
In this way, Lant, you go back to take care of the people. We will celebrate the Lunar New Year in three days in this castle! "
"Okay, thank you Lord Earl, Lant, Ryan, let's go." Huck has been a vassal of the Earl for many years and knows the Earl's character very well.
According to the count's calculating character, he would definitely be reluctant to give his family a viscounty. Now that the count has spoken, he must immediately solidify the fruits of his labor and take his son to take over various affairs of the Lot territory.
So Huck quickly took his sons and left the main building of Blue Bird Castle.
Seeing the murderous Lant leaving, the earl invited several senior professionals away in the name of the vassal meeting, and finally had time to express his stance to his vassals.
"I know what some of you think. You think Lant is lucky enough to get a viscounty for free.
But if I tell you, his troops are all barbarians on the grassland, and they are all miners in the salt mines. Now he has brought the miners from the salt mines and the barbarians from the southern plains to Lanque City. The original salt mines Shortage of workers.
If he doesn't go to Lot territory, whoever goes will have to let the salt mine continue to produce salt.
If he is not allowed to return to Lot territory, whoever is in Lot territory will be responsible for his team of several hundred people.
Can any of you conjure a miner? Who can stop his team? "The earl asked his subordinates.
"Ah? Are those people really barbarians and workers from the Galloping Horse Plains?"
"Then can he let the salt mine continue to produce? He can't let the knights loyal to him return to the salt mine, can he?"
"I thought he had brought reinforcements from other galloping horses."
"As for whether he can let the salt mine produce and where he can find workers, I think a representative of the Blue Dragon family will talk to him." The earl said calmly.
. . . . . .
"Lant! You surprise me so much." At this moment, outside the main building of Blue Bird Castle, Huck hugged Lant.
Although Huck also roughly guessed the origin of Lant's army, and also knew that even if Lant took over the viscounty, he would still have to worry about the livelihood of thousands of people, this moment was undoubtedly the highest point in the Galloping Horse family northwest of the dragon in hundreds of years. A moment of light.
"Good job, Lant." Ryan and Obote also hugged Lant one by one. Now Lant has become an intermediate warrior and is taller than his two brothers. Both of them are not used to hugging tall people. 's younger brother.
"Father, brother, when did you come here? Ever since I heard that you were robbed by barbarians, I have been looking for you, and I have found Gray Goose's salt mine from the river outside the forest of our Benma family."
"Your father and I have been doing business on the Galloping Horse Plains for several years. How could we be caught by a few barbarians?" Huck smiled and led Lant out of the castle.
Rohr thoughtfully prepared black-scaled horses for several people. It took the lightly-armed people less than an hour to get from Blue Magpie Castle to the outside of Lot City.
. . . . .
"That piece belongs to our family?"
"Hey, originally there were more sheep than these, but they marched too fast and killed a lot of them."
Outside the town of Roth Castle, a family of four was blocked on the way into the castle by more than 1,300 sheep, more than 400 beasts of burden and more than 4,000 migrating people.
Huck silently considered Lant's current strength in his heart.
In a word, even if all of Lant's livestock were given to Earl of Maned Wolf, the entire Northwest Territory might not dare to accept them. How much feed would be needed every day?
In addition, there are more than 4,000 subjects and 600 demon supporters, which even the earl may not be able to afford.
"Lant, you, did you move the entire Galloping Horse Plain here?"
"It's not the whole thing, it's just south of the Benma River." Lant was relatively calm.
"But with so many animals, Lot and Galloping Horse (Barony) are all bald and they can't even raise them."
"Dad, there's no need to be bald. Many livestock here will be released soon."
Rant took Huck and his two brothers to his core camp first, where Rohr and Albert had already been waiting.
Huck walked into Lant's 6-meter-high main tent in surprise. He didn't see the mountains of sacks filled with salt; he skipped the magic pattern armor and magic weapons arranged; he didn't notice the piles of salt on the ground. After checking the gold coins in the box, he only saw Wendy who was drawing magic patterns in the tent.
"Dad, come here, these accounts are all about the livestock, materials, and coins in our territory before I left. Here is also a roster of our population." The purpose of Lant bringing his family here was very clear. He quickly handed over the accounts and asked his father to Return of Galloping Baron.
"Lant, who is she?"
"Huh? Oh, this is Wendy. She and several others are apprentices in the territory." Lant was eager to give his account and did not elaborate.
After handing the accounts to Huck, Lant took Huck and Albert to Galloping Horse's old camp and asked the people to welcome their real baron, Huck Galloping Horse.
