Chapter 603: The Governor Returns
The battle went quite smoothly, and at this moment, on the other side of the continent, Baron Nair of the Duchy of Mainek had already begun to pack his bags.
Because William's letter had been delivered to him five days ago, although the letter said that it was because William felt that he was too hard, but it also vaguely pointed out the reason, the kingdom is about to undergo a new round of construction, and more orc slaves are needed.
He knew very well during his years as governor that although the Duchy of Mainek was very stable, there was no significant increase in the number of slaves.
Obviously, if the kingdom is to undergo a round of construction, more orc slaves will be needed, and there will be more people to transfuse blood for the kingdom.
But during the years of his tenure, it has been very stable, the gentleman's stability has been excessive, and even the number of slaves transported has not increased significantly.
Therefore, it is reasonable to change a governor, although he knows what William means, but there is no dissatisfaction or sadness in his heart.
Because he knew very well that there was indeed too much kindness in his heart, and he had not even done anything cruel here for years.
This also led to the fact that he did not make any great achievements, but just ruled steadily.
But he knew that he could only go so far, and he couldn't do anything to kill him anyway.
It would be nice to be a governor here for a few years, and to have William give him a good knighthood when he returned to the realm, he never had much luxury.
When William was a baron, this was the reason why he was friendly with him, he didn't have that stupid utilitarian heart.
He had arranged everything, and appointed his lieutenant to preside over the affairs of the place for the time being, and then to see what the new governor had arranged.
Although the current Duchy of Maineke has become a colony, under the rule of Baron Nair, there has been no tragedy, but it is stronger than the period before the conquest by William.
From this, it can be seen that Baron Nair is still very talented, as a baron, but he can govern a principality in an orderly manner.
He was just not fit to be the governor of the kingdom of Lorik, and if William intended to take a territory under his command completely, he would be the best person to be benevolent and adhere to a policy of softness.
The sea ship that took him back had already docked, and the Principality of Mainek was originally a country near the sea, and its long-distance sailing ability was definitely not bad even if it was not as good as the Kingdom of Astra and the Kingdom of Camelot.
However, he would still return to the Kingdom of Lorik on the ships of the Kingdom of Carmellot, because it was ordered by William.
The Kingdom of Carmellot will build a dock in the country as a way to handle goods.
And the customs and other things will be controlled by the Kingdom of Lorique, especially the expansion of the Duchy of Mainek, which means that a large number of looted materials will be transported back.
At that time, there must be some things that are not easy to carry and are not too valuable, and after selling them nearby, William will also be able to get benefits, and the Kingdom of Carmellot will also attract many merchants because of this, which can be said to be mutually beneficial.
When Baron Nair and a dozen of his knights were about to board the ship, a large number of civilians poured into the edge of the dock.
Even merchants and some squires came to the docks to see him off, and for a while, although fundamentally colonial, there was no sense of colonial cruelty.
Even their lives are a little better than before, they don't have any great ambitions in their hearts, and they only know their own acres and threes of land.
As long as they can feed themselves and their wives and children, they will still support their rule if they are conquerors or colonizers.
Although these people are not simple, and some of them have even become cunning because of the pressure of life, they know who is good for them.
The residents stepped forward with some sadness and said, "Lord Nair, are you leaving?" We can't wait for you! ”
Baron Nair looked at the people who supported him in front of him, and he was also very relieved in the letter, his kindness was indeed not wrong, and they still knew how to be grateful.
Of course, despite all the people who supported him, Baron Nair remained very calm, knowing that he had no power to resist William.
Not to mention whether any soldiers who were extremely loyal to William would agree to Baron Nair to do so, his heart alone, as well as his character, determined that he would never do such a thing to betray the king.
Baron Nair waved his hand, and the residents who came here to send it suddenly stopped their voices, and he said, "Don't worry, after I leave, His Majesty William will send the next governor to take charge of the affairs here!" ”
"I'm sure he'll do better than me! Don't worry! ”
Baron Nair said to the residents present.
After saying that, he and everyone went to the individual and got on the small boat, and then went to the deep sea area and boarded the big ship again.
Stepping onto the large sea ship with a very deep draft, he stood in Chuanwei and looked back, and as the sea ship set sail, his figure slowly left here.
Seagulls and various seabirds hover and chirp in the sky, as if singing about the seven years that Baron Nair has been here, and the coastline gradually blurs until only a sparkling sea remains.
The spring sun was unusually warm and bright, reflecting bursts of light on the sea, like pieces of dragon scales floating on the surface of the sea.
As the ship moved farther and farther, he could no longer hear the voices of the people behind him, and the sea was like a heavenly mound, cutting him off from the colony of the Principality of Maineke.
Perhaps in his life, he will never set foot on this land where he has lived for seven years again.
The salty and wet sea breeze blew on Baron Nair's face and body, bringing a cool and warm breath to him, and this sea breeze ruffled his clothes and scurried around in his clothes, giving him a very comfortable feeling.
His wife came to him, and he brought her with him when he learned that he was going to be governor of the Principality of Maineke.
Now it is his son and his firstborn who reigns in his realm.
Then he let go of the almost negligible melancholy in his heart and began to look forward to what would happen when he returned to the kingdom.
After all, this is not his hometown, or rather, my peace of mind is my hometown, and his ancestors' territories have been in the kingdom of Lorik for generations, so of course he wants to go back.
What's more, William has now founded the country, and he will definitely be promoted and rewarded, which is still confident that Baron Nair still has, as a descendant of William's nobles, William will never forget it.
Thinking of this, he walked back to the cabin, as a sea ship specially carrying the governor, the decoration of the cabin was still very gorgeous.
