The results came out and the dust settled.

The general smiled brightly, he looked at Lear, nodded, and said, "Well, you have a wonderful experience, and at this age you are more like a man than your father and your uncle, and even more than the old earl." Even the old earl, at the age of fifteen, only knew how to lift the skirt of a maid and fool around with a bunch of rubbish. Excellent!"

Except for the general himself, everyone around looked embarrassed.

The general turned and said to his guards: "Port Lear is in the highest state of combat readiness! The whole city is under martial law, no entry or exit is allowed, and the wharf is no longer operating. The garrison and garrison are all dispatched, the magicians open the highest-level detection magic array, and the private soldiers and knights of the Lear family are all stationed in the Earl of Lear's mansion. Heir to Count Lear, Envoy to the King, Bishop Margonn, Inspector General of Customs. Inform all the nobles, officials, and merchants of Port Lear that the new Earl of Lear is about to be knighted, and 'invite' them to the Earl's Court!"

"Yes!" the general's men began to give orders everywhere.

The highest state of combat readiness means that the garrison and the knights and private soldiers of the Lear family have absolute power of life and death, and those who resist can be executed on the spot.

Then, a shrill magical alarm sounded over the city of Port Lear, and when the alarm continued to sound for thirty seconds, everyone found a nearby place to hide. In just ten minutes, except for a few people on the road of Port Lear, only the garrison, the garrison, and the private knights of the Lear family represented the power of Count Lear.

Those who did not evade except for outsiders were drunks, no matter who they were, they were all arrested and put into the garrison prison, and those who dared to resist were killed. The most exaggerated is the wharf, which was originally a place where filth and dirt were hidden, and there were smugglers, pirates, exiles, bandits, fugitives, and so on.

Five more ships tried to escape, but the port was blocked by the Imperial Third Fleet, and finally the sails were lowered and surrendered.

In just half an hour, one hundred and twenty-four people died in Port Lear, and more than three hundred were wounded.

Before leaving, Earl Lear's butler, Kane, arrived with more than fifty men, including staff, assistants, and most of them servants. Since it has been determined that he is the heir to the earl, he needs to wear formal attire to inherit the title.

Being knighted is a very solemn thing to do—even if there are three Lears now.

Lear was first washed clean, and then the servant measured his height, and the magician used magic to shrink the few ** count's costumes to fit him.

He wore the most expensive pure white silk shirt and pure black trousers, the buttons of the silk shirt turned out to be sapphire, and the outermost was a crimson velvet coat with a circle of white fur on the edge. On his head he wore a crown that symbolized the count, and the weight weighed on his neck.

The general himself mounted his war horse and led Lear and the others, as well as the earl's private soldiers and knights, out of the house.

As soon as he walked out of the gate, the general suddenly dismounted, looked around, and with a slight bow, the bluestone floor under his feet exploded. With a cloud of water-colored light spreading throughout his body, he rushed to a house diagonally opposite.

There were a few screams in the house, and it quickly fell silent.

The general jumped lightly into the air, and with a wave of his sword, a water-colored sword flew out, and the entire house collapsed.

He got back on his horse, looked into a dark corner, and waved his hand, "Forward!"

The procession marched mightily towards the Earl's Palace.

Ness suppressed her excitement and asked in a low voice, "Brother Lear, did the general kill someone?"

Lear thought for a moment and said, "The people inside should be spying on the general, most likely the people of King Notting, and the local forces in Port Lear will definitely not dare to be so bold." ”

Ness waved her fist and said, "Those who snatch Lear's title are all bad guys!

Lear stroked her hair dotingly, and Ness suddenly felt that the place where she was being stroked was warm, and she couldn't help but stick to Lear.

"It's nothing to lean on my brother, I'm my sister, it's okay......" Ness squinted, greedily breathing in the Yuan Force aura that Lear emanated.

The general was in front, and the road was peaceful, but people kept joining the team, and everyone was a swordsman-level powerhouse.

When they arrived at the Earl's Palace, most of the important people of Port Lear stood in the spacious courtyard of the Earl's Palace, and only the most distinguished people, the King's envoy, and the two "Earl's Heirs" and a few of their retinues were in the main hall.

It is not only King Notting's people, royal officials in Port Lear, local nobles, officials and big businessmen, but also some of the nobles who stayed in Port Lear.

Arriving at the door, Lear took Ness's arm and walked in front with his head held high, even the general was one position behind him, and the others were further back.

The law stipulates that the actual status of the first heir in line before the knighthood is reduced by one level to the title to be inherited.

There were six official titles in the Homan Empire, namely Prince, Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and Baron. Below the baron is the lord, and the lord is not strictly speaking, he is not a nobleman, but only a class below the nobles and before the commoners. However, as the group of lords grew larger and the voice they held increased, the Horman Empire defaulted to the fact that the lords were also nobles, and even added ten lords to the House of Lords.

Lords cannot be hereditary. This was a means for the Empire to limit the number of lords.

Lear is now in the same position as a viscount and the heir to the Earl of Lear, so even a general must be behind in a formal setting.

The customs of the Starry Sky Continent are very interesting, women are obviously of low status, and even their surnames are erased with their husbands' surnames after marriage, but they will often be treated preferentially, so Ness can be completely parallel to Lear.

Every detail is very important on this occasion, and the slightest mistake will attract ridicule and even attack from other nobles.

It was the first time that Ness was stared at by so many people, and she was extremely shy, but for the sake of Lear's brother's face, she still held her head up and put on a haughty look, which could not be despised by others.

The group calmly walked towards the hall, and Moore, the deputy leader of the garrison squadron who had been close to Lear, saw Lear followed by the general, and his face showed a look of ecstasy.

He had already seen the two children in the hall who looked very similar to Lear, and he had heard the nobles around him, and he thought of Old Hans's attitude, and he confirmed that the man he met in the porcelain shop was also "one of Lear". And now that this Lear was standing behind the general, and even wearing an earl's gown, he concluded that this was the real Lear.

He was nearly forty years old, and if he couldn't take another step, he would probably be the vice-captain for the rest of his life, so he decided to take a big gamble.
