"During my absence, major matters in the camp are subject to the instructions of my father, Baron Harker, and Laniya will be responsible for the specific arrangements." Lant said to Laniya,
"You have to arrange for those barbarians who are accustomed to running wild on the grassland. What do these hundreds of people do, how do they do it, when will it be completed, and who is responsible. Don't let them idle."
"Yes, sir," Lanya replied. This is the tradition of meetings in the camp. They should respond to whoever is mentioned, but Huck didn't know. He just felt that this kind of management model was very fresh.
"While I'm going to the royal capital, I need some guards. Canine and Peter come with me and find 8 knight apprentices and 10 cavalry." Lant then arranged.
"Yes, my lord"
"The caravan moves slowly, so we can set off first. We can arrive at Maned Wolf City one after the other with the caravan.
Neil and Mace, you two go with Obote, and the Dutch knights will lead the escort. Mace's family has shops in Maned Wolf City and Dragon Tooth City, so you can get to know Obote.
The caravan completed its first transaction and purchase in Maned Wolf City, and Neil returned with the purchased grain and goods;
Obert, Metz and Ned Land took the remaining team to the royal capital together.
We will go directly to Dragon Fang City through the portal in Earl of Maned Wolf's Mansion. If we are lucky, I will be able to meet you when I return to Dragon Fang after studying in Blue Dragon City. "Lant has finally arranged and completed the main things before departure.
"Yes, Rand" "Yes, my lord"
Lant went on to arrange other things.
"After your caravan returns, it will be almost the beginning of spring. Neil, please assemble the team according to the specific temperature to investigate Yeqi City."
"You, the teachers, must not slack off while I am away. For the time being, there is no need to include the children in the Lot territory into the class. Give those children more attention."
"For your singing and dancing group, the two songs I made should be rehearsed as soon as possible. Make a list of the instruments you need. If Neil and the others can't buy them in the Maned Wolf City, I'll go to the Royal Capital to buy them."
“Other major matters will be decided after I return to camp.”
"Yes, sir." With everyone's reply, the meeting ended.
"Do you want to go to Blue Dragon City with me?" After the joint meeting of the territories, Lant left Wendy and several girls behind. Gandalf left yesterday and prepared to leave Lot territory with him. Before leaving, he asked Wendy for help The girl left some handwritten pages related to magic, magic circles and sacrifices, and even some magic ink.
Rant recalled that when chatting with Gandalf yesterday, the old magician made a small request to Rant to let these girls choose their own lives.
And Lant knew that his father and brother would always think about these girls when he was away. Lant knew that his father and brothers couldn't resist the temptation of the demon-possessed girl, but he didn't want to talk to them about it either. Relatives blush.
"I'm not going!" "I'm not going, my lord." "I'm not going either." Girls' resistance to school is comparable to that of children in kindergarten in Lant's hometown.
"Then you go to Maned Wolf City with me, where you can purchase some books, alchemy items and magic materials, and then come back with the caravan. You can come back with Neil, or you can come back with me later. "
This was Lant's order. The girls said nothing more. When Lili and others left, Wendy took a step late.
"I suggest you make it clear to the Baron and the two knights." After that, Wendy also left.
"Thank you, I will." Looking at Wendy's back, Lant said.
On December 3, 996, Viscount Roth led the caravan to Maned Wolf City first, and Rand also headed to Maned Wolf City two days later in a luxury carriage obtained from Galloping Horse Plains.
On the same day, Baron Huck and Galloping Horse led the original citizens of Galloping Horse Territory and those newly assigned to him by Rand to return to Baron Galloping Horse Territory for resettlement.
In the winter of 996, the barbarian rebellion in the northwest territory of the Dragon Kingdom came to an end.
. . . . . .
Dragon Kingdom, Dragon Tooth City Palace Mirror Hall.
His Majesty the King is receiving the final report on this month's efforts to quell the barbarian invasion in the North West Earldom.
"Yes, Your Majesty, all the barbarians in the territory have been completely pacified by the new Viscount Lot, Lant Galloping Horse."
"Well, good, thank you for your hard work," King Dusen replied, "This time the barbarians have gathered nearly 300 cavalry, and there are priests on duty. It is indeed not easy for you to completely pacify them with your own strength."
"Your Majesty, although the Northwest Earl ignored the number of barbarians in the early stage, he lost Lot's initiative to lead to Blue Bird City.
Fortunately, the count persisted in launching many battles and continued to consume small groups of barbarian cavalry with his own small squadrons of knights.
Finally, Viscount Lant arrived with the Galloping Horse Knights,"
McLaren Blue Dragon made the final report, and Earl Maned Wolf heard a tone of ridicule and contempt, as if his main contribution as the Earl of the Northwest Territories was that he did not surrender and retreat.
The Maned Wolf knew that this was an attempt by the established nobles to drive a wedge between themselves and the rising viscount.
"I'm afraid there is another question now. Kebbins, please tell me, was Viscount Lant your vassal when he defeated the barbarians and swept away the Gray Goose tribe?"
"Of course, Your Majesty, he is the son of Baron Harker. He was the acting baron of Galloping Horse Barony at that time. He is naturally a noble of the Northwest Territory."
"No, my lord, you know what I am asking.
This Lant was just a knight apprentice when he led the people to leave the barony. After that, after sweeping the Galloping Horse Plains, he not only broke through to become an intermediate knight, but also owned an army.
So when Lant led the army to pacify the barbarians under your Blue Bird City, was he Viscount Lot? Was his Viscount Roth automatically inherited after the death of the original Viscount Bob?
Or did you entrust him based on his merit and strength? Or did you take his merits into consideration when considering your successor? "
The king's question was directly related to the legality of Earl Maned Wolf's decision. The Earl heard the problem, but there were representatives of the Blue Dragon family and the church present, as well as a complex family like the Elk family, so he could only blur the facts. , the facts cannot be denied.
"Your Majesty, after Viscount Roth died in battle, the Baron Galloping Horse family of the same clan has the highest priority. Apart from the eldest son, only Lant Galloping Horse is an intermediate knight in his family. He should be given priority in the inheritance taking into account his merits."
"Well, the earl has thought very carefully. I originally said that I would directly ennoble him, but his level is too low now. He is only an intermediate knight and cannot directly ennoble him as a viscount."
There was a hint of pride in the earl's heart. For him to preside over Lant's inheritance of the title and for his majesty to personally preside over the enfeoffment were completely different concepts.
In the former, Lant was still his vassal, while in the latter, he became the king's vassal. The king personally divided the vassals, which had little influence on Lant, but far less on him, Earl of Maned Wolf.
"Then let's follow Mr. McLaren's suggestion and give this Lant Gallop the title of Palace Viscount."
"Your Majesty is wise and should not let the heroes suffer."
"Then submit the resolutions and minutes of this meeting to Sir Han Fei Appleby."
