"General Arthur, please stop!"
It was George who spoke to stop Arthur.
George knew that he had become the flashpoint in the dispute between the two families. If he didn't do something, he would cause more trouble for his father-in-law.
"Rex, I am willing to join the Heretic Tribunal. But before joining the Heretic Tribunal, I hope to receive a fair and just trial in the court of the Imperial Capital of Parada. This is my only condition, okay?"
"Okay, the deal is established!"
Rex was the first to take a stand. For him, the so-called fair and just trial is just a play on the spot with a known outcome. Moreover, the purpose has been achieved, and there is no point in provoking Arthur again.
"General Arthur, the original lord of this city was publicly executed a few days ago. Now this fortress is temporarily ownerless. My cronies just died in the battle. Please help me find a person to take care of it."
After saving George, Rex was very satisfied and gave Arthur a step down.
The original camp is different, with strong folk customs, a mixed bag of fish and dragons, difficult management, remote location, and difficult to keep up with the military line. Coupled with the eagerly watching Alan Norn Empire from the side, Rex has completely defined this city as a tasteless and hot potato. The presence.
"Yeah, now that we've talked about it, let's bring this matter to an end."
Although Arthur could foresee that George would definitely be used by Rex, the other party had already thrown out the management rights of the city as a bargaining chip, so he had to accept the proposal temporarily.
Besides, a man who is attracted to his daughter shouldn't be so easily manipulated. Although he hated George with all his heart, but recalling the time they spent together on the road for a few days, Arthur somehow suddenly wanted to believe in this half-vampire for once.
"Alistaris!"
"exist!"
"You will be stationed in this city from now on. How many troops do you need to support you?"
"Ten crusaders and ten monks will do."
"allow!"
…
Next, Arthur and Rex began to clean up the equipment and supplies together. Seeing the two people working together so seamlessly, George even suspected that the dispute just now was just an illusion.
Alistaris, Arthur's newest lieutenant, had been ambushing the city, collecting intelligence and laying traps. The surname Taris belongs to the family that, besides Pandagon and Lewis, controls the strongest military force in the empire - the Knights of Champions. The three major families stand on three sides, competing with each other and infiltrating each other.
"Nobles and such are really troublesome."
George couldn't help sighing, but Rex, who had sharp ears, heard him unexpectedly.
"Brother George, you are not a noble now, are you?"
Rex smiled brightly.
"no."
George didn't know if he, a foreign elder of the Elf clan, could be considered a civilian if he were transferred to the Pelada Empire.
"Then, as a preparatory pope, I will grant you the honor of Viscount of the Pelada Empire! If you don't mind it, this Juarez Fortress and its surrounding area will be your territory. General Arthur, is that okay?"
There are five levels of titles in the Perada Empire, from high to low, including duke, marquis, earl, viscount, and baron. Arthur is also called "Duke Arthur" or "Asia" in the aristocratic circle of the Perada Empire. Grand Duke Se". Moreover, except for the lowest baron, all other titles can be hereditary.
Whether it is the granting of titles or the division of territory, only the pope or his direct heirs have the right to exercise it. Arthur can only let his men carry out city management, material allocation, and personnel expropriation, but he cannot obtain the nominal rights to this land. Ownership and hereditary rights.
"As you wish."
Arthur, who was busy counting supplies, agreed casually. For Arthur, he paid more attention to more practical things, such as military supplies or city taxes.
"Very good. After the inventory of supplies is over, let's hold a party in the city hall! To celebrate the victory of the siege and the sealing of Viscount George!"
