Chapter 534: Returning Home

The shiny and straight bronze flagpole stood alone on the city wall, and the battle flag, which represented the Grand Duke of Casef, had been lowered at some unknown time, waiting for the arrival of a new master.

There were quite a few people on the streets, but everyone had an indescribable expression on their faces, curious, worried, confused...... But there was no hatred, but there was a vague expectation that they had spent too long in a decaying land, and after countless disappointments and waits, they were full of curiosity about the girl who had created the amazing miracle of the Cordillera Plateau, and they also hoped that after the province of Cassef was under her rule, there would be a more gratifying change.

A small number of nobles and merchants throughout Vermont fled Vermont with Archduke Castive, but most remained in Vermont...... Not everyone is willing to leave their family business, they know very well that if they leave this time, it will not be so easy to come back, although Grand Duke Cassef swore when he left that he must counterattack back, but these large and small nobles and merchants, which one is not a human spirit?

It can be said that as long as Hathaway does not make a big ideological mistake, even with the full support of the Natural Church, it will be difficult for the family to cede the province of Casseff...... As for the title of 'Duke', as long as the Emperor does not take it back, Grand Duke Casef can still keep it, anyway, the battle for the throne of the Empire has not yielded any results so far.

However, for the sake of the so-called 'aristocratic reserve' or to wait and see Hathaway's subsequent actions, most of the nobles who remained stayed at home and watched the situation develop. Many merchants were transferring or hiding their belongings while preparing to visit the Marquis of the Cordillera...... In fact, they are much more nervous than those nobles who wait and see, and if they make the wrong choice, they will have a hard time in the future.

At this time, most of the people who flocked to the streets were ordinary and poor people in the city, as well as some small and medium-sized merchants, and most of them had a new idea to see what kind of attitude the girl who had been abandoned by her father at a young age in the magic academy to fend for herself would enter Vermont City...... Is it the conqueror, or is it the return of the country?

In Vermont City Hall, the councillor La Punk. Thorne sat down at the table with a gloomy face. And around this table are the most prominent figures in Vermont City...... Other nobles can not come. Because most of them do not hold positions, but these people cannot but come, because many of their interests are related to the positions in front of them, once they dare to abandon their duties. I'm afraid of the province of Caself under Hathaway. There will be no place for them anymore.

But at this moment. What they are struggling with is not the question, but the instrument in front of them...... As the nobility of the empire, as long as they do not act in a tendentious manner. And the other party did not really betray the empire, in fact, they didn't have to worry about being purged by Hathaway, so they were actually very calm about this. But the trouble now is that, because of the appearance of this document, it indicates that the province of Cassef has indeed changed masters.

A document from Maple Dew has officially canonized Hathaway as lord of the province of Carself...... Interestingly, this document does not re-canonize her, which means that Hathaway is still the Marquis of Cordillera.

The problem is that the legal validity of this instrument seems to be very debatable, but the judges of the Royal Court are all surrounded by His Royal Highness Dietrich, and no one dares to question the legal validity of this instrument.

Without this document, even if Hathaway loses power in the future, and Archduke Carsif or others regain control of the province of Carself, these people have something to say, but with this document, whether to admit it or not is an absolute right question.

What made the Cassef nobles and merchants most depressed was that, according to incomplete information from Pierceburg, Pierceburg seemed to be in secret contact with the Cordillera, and seemed to be ready to recognize Hathaway's lordship over Carsel in exchange for Cordillera's recognition and support for Pierceburg, but this was only an intentional statement, and neither side would admit such a possibility, at least on the surface.

Treasurer Wass. Lembek wrung his fingers unconsciously, his gaze a little hesitant, he had not been in charge of the cash-saving bag of Cassef for long, but the predecessor of this position was Eden. Bell, that was Hathaway's father, although it was well known that Eden. Not only is Bell a traitor, but he also doesn't have a good relationship with Hathaway, but the two sides are family after all. Now that the whole of Casserf was in fact under Hathaway's feet, His Excellency Treasurer had no idea what kind of situation he was about to face. Therefore, among all the people present, he was the most panicked.

For most of you, the Cordillera is far away, and most of them have never been to the Cordillera, not even to the mountains of Briennia. They never imagined that the once-glorious Grand Guild of Casev would come to an end in such a way, and so suddenly, that they were not even mentally prepared for it.

In fact, after the Odiga Empire went downhill, the nobles of the Cassef Province were still able to take advantage of the re-ascension of Grand Duke Casif to the throne and obtain some more practical benefits, and now their calculations will definitely not sound.

La Punk. Thorne had posted the paperwork from Maple Dew on the bulletin board at the gates, and the people of the city seemed to accept the reality.

"I'm afraid the Grand Duke of Cassef won't be coming back anytime soon, they've taken everything they can with them, and now it's only us, and we'll have to think about what we're going to do."

La Punk. Thorne coughed twice and opened his mouth to speak, opening up the scene of silence. His words undoubtedly represented the thoughts of all the nobles present, and now that the Grand Duke of Cassef had abandoned the city and fled, they did not follow him and fled proved that they did not want to leave Vermont City, they did not want to leave the province of Caself, and they came here today in the hope of getting a clear message.

"Anytime a territory needs managers, and I'm sure the Cordillera doesn't have that many managers. And the province of Cassef has been through so many wars, and there are fewer and fewer experienced administrators, and I am sure that the lord will not fail to pay attention to this, after all, we are not the group that opposes her. An official said with a wandering gaze.

"The question is, did we admit the Maple Dew side?" Wentz. Lembek asked weakly.

Dietrich has not been officially recognized, and it is still undecided who will inherit the throne of the empire, whether he or Caesar, and he is now pointing fingers at the personnel power of the province of Cassef, which is looking for death!

Everyone rolled their eyes. Lembek clearly wanted to sell meat again. I want to set up a chastity archway. Now everybody knows. Due to the undetermined imperial power, the central government of the empire has almost blank control over the territories of all the great lords, and the documents from Maple Dew are just a fig leaf, so Hathaway does not have Maple Dew or Pierceburg confirmation documents. Will you honestly return to the Cordillera?

What childishness!

"Lord Lembeck. What you mean is that there must be a confirmation from the Pierceburg side. Will the ownership of the Cassef Territory be recognized? An old man asked patiently.

"No, I'm not going to admit it, I'll always only recognize the sovereignty of Grand Duke Kasef over Casev!" Wentz. Lembek shook his head flatly.

La Punk. Thorne said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lembeck, I have great admiration for your loyalty, but the situation is not changing because your attitude can change, we should learn to adapt to the changing tides, I respect you and your choice." Ladies and gentlemen, I don't think we need to waste any more time here, we should do our own thing, my lord, and I'm almost there. ”

Everyone got up and walked out of the conference room. Wentz. Lembeck did not move, he stroked his forehead with his hand a little tiredly, leaned weakly on the back of the chair, and the bright sun fell brightly in front of the window, illuminating the pattern of the carpet on the floor so clearly that even a slight change in stitches could be clearly seen. Lembek's mood at this time, he really didn't know where he was going.

When the legendary horrific army entered Vermont City with neat steps, and when the majestic barbarians, vicious half-orcs, and graceful and handsome green elves and half-elves appeared in front of the people, the Terran warriors in the army were ignored intentionally or unintentionally...... Once the Cordillera Army was advertised as useless, but now they were presented with an army of iron and blood, which somewhat frightened the Vermontese, who did not know how to respond to this change.

The fearful gaze of these humans gave the barbarian and orc warriors a sense of pride never experienced anywhere else, and although they were also overwhelmed by the Warhammer Rangers, they were victorious, and it was time for the victors to show their mighty troops.

Hardly to Balthe. Willy's advice, the orc and barbarian warriors in the city of Cordillera are all unusually perfect. They even obeyed the law, ordered and forbidden, and every move was according to the requirements before entering the city, and there was no Barth at all. Willie's initial fear of the quarrels that would take place made Barthes . Willie was pleased.

The elves behaved remarkably, but Barth. Willy didn't expect that the army's sense of honor could still perform so well when it fell on barbarians and orcs. But Barthes. Willy also asked Chu that this situation could not last long, allowing these orcs and barbarians to be restrained in a yang environment for a long time. Little by little, their patience will be worn out, unless they can blend in with the ring, but this is obviously not realistic at this time.

Hathaway didn't expect the psychological impact of her visit to Vermont to many of her former lives, and she wasn't even interested in asking what would happen to Vermont if it fell into her hands. What kind of changes will be brought about by the country of Otiga, and how much he still needs to consider, especially from the natural church.

Cecia. There had been news from Hughes's side that Pierceburg had been completely shaken by the Cordillera's aggressive force. None of them could have imagined that the Cordillera army would still be crushed in the shortest possible time. The court mages had suffered great losses, and the mages who had returned to Pierceburg were very concerned about the war, and there had been some discordant controversy within the Church of Nature.

The great lords of the north had halted their army preparations, at least on the surface that their armies had been assembled in the frontier of the province of Qassev had withdrawn back into their respective hinterlands, perhaps they were waiting, watching...... It will take them some time to digest the sudden upheaval.

The performance of the province of Bukhalin was the most exaggerated, after the return of the Warhammer Knights, the Grand Duke Erabeni remained silent, and after the official announcement of the candidate for the Kasef province was officially announced, the Grand Duke of Erabeni even sent congratulations as soon as possible...... Of course, this congratulations was very secret and not public, which made Hathaway feel once again what kind of relationship people would have between people if the veil of shame was lifted in this world?

Caesar did not react immediately, but after the Maple Dew side announced their instrument of recognition. Apparently a great stimulus to Caesar.

Archduke Cassef has been completely decayed, and the possibility of regaining his former glory is almost zero, especially when the center of the empire is now in chaos, no one cares about his existence, although the Grand Duke François has taken him in, but judging from the performance of Grand Duke Casseff, it is impossible to get any substantial help, perhaps his only end is a landless nobleman there who is enjoying his old age, and the things he took from Vermont are enough for him to spend several lifetimes.

Now Hathaway's focus has long been irrelevant to Archduke Cartiff, how to control and manage this land as soon as possible, and become one of the several princes of the land of Ortigatti is the most important. The acknowledgment of Maple Dew and Pierceburg, the acquiescence of several other high lords, the approval of the nobles and gentry of the province of Casseff, and the common people, these things were immediately put before Hathaway.

I am confident that I will *********** hit the water for 3,000 miles in 200 years***********
