Baron Augustine? Hearing this lofty name, Cecil was a little uncomfortable for a while, and he finally became a nobleman? Cecil was overjoyed to hear the news, as the saying goes, if you don't die, there will be a blessing, it seems that this sentence is really suitable for herself, since escaping from the Elok Empire, he has ventured to make a lot of money, and then he and Anne have reunited, and with the support of the Grand Priest Alonso, he has now become a nobleman, what a surprise!

The joy on Cecil's face was undoubtedly seen by Count Cassikud, and the count smiled lightly: "Don't be too happy too early, the king will give you two fiefs now, and you have two choices." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Two options? Cecil asked, confused.

"Yes, the first choice is the domain of Baron Kuresta after his death, the Baron does not have any male descendants to inherit his domain, and his daughter Talis has determined to dedicate her life to the god of the brave, and no longer care about earthly affairs. So Kuresta's realm is already borderlands, so you can inherit his realm. The Count said slowly.

Cecil himself felt that this was a good choice, and he had promised him before the baron's death that he would take care of his afterlife, so it would be much better if he could take care of the baron's territory. Cecil thought of this and looked at the Count, wondering what the second option was, if not too attractive.

"The second option is quite a risky one, which is the province of Samarra on the northeastern border, where the king can leave a county for you as a fief and let you go there as a baron, the county there is generally much larger than the county in the south, and a county has almost 50 estates, which is an absolute bargain."

Cecil's face changed color as soon as he heard this, Samara Province? Isn't that a province that the Sauroran Kingdom and the Orc Empire can't compete for? It was not previously given to any nobles, but the Blood Eagle Knights, who were part of the royal family, were stationed there. The Blood Eagle Knights are also one of the top knights in the kingdom, and they also mobilized half of their combat power to support the Demon Gate in this battle of the Demon Gate, and this time they also suffered heavy losses in the Demon Gate. Even the legendary knight of the teamfight, Alvarelli, was unfortunately killed.

There is no point in giving such a place for nothing, the land will not produce anything, there will not be too many people under the rule, the entire province is in flames, and basically the people who are active there are either the people of the Blood Eagle Knights or the pioneer warriors of the orcs. If I choose that territory, I'm afraid I won't even be able to send the acting officer, and I'm afraid that no acting official has the courage to go there to take office, which is simply a long life.

Cecil said without hesitation: "Of course I will choose the first fief, and it may not make any sense for Samara Province to get a large territory."

The Earl smiled and said, "Don't make a decision in a hurry, the Blood Eagle Knights suffered heavy losses in the Hell Gate War this time, so the kingdom assigned this territory directly under the royal domain to the new nobles, so that they could help develop and block the covetousness of the Orc Empire." ”

Cecil said with a smile: "The abacus is still good, but I'm afraid that few nobles are willing to go, if the Blood Eagle Knights are not capable, I'm afraid no nobles will dare to take this territory." ”

Count Cassikud smiled lightly: "People die for money, birds die for food, and the king also recognizes that the northeast direction and the form of the orc empire are more severe, so this time he uses a policy that has not been used by previous kings. ”

"What policy?" Cecil asked?

"All the nobles who are willing to serve in Samara Province this time will cancel the acting official system, and this time all the nobles who have been divided can go directly to the place where they are sealed to be the emperor of the soil." Count Cassikud said with a straight look

Cecil was taken aback when he heard this policy, the system of acting officials is the lifeblood of the Saurolan Kingdom that can maintain a strong centralized power, and without this system, it is difficult for the Sauroran Kingdom to maintain such a strong royal power. But now, in order to deal with the crisis of the Orc Empire, the king has begun to shake this proxy system, and it seems that the kingdom's military strength is indeed facing a big crisis after the battle of the Demon Gate.

However, this is also understandable, the grim situation in Samara, so that the acting official system has no room for survival, a nobleman who has pressed all his life in his own territory may fight with the orcs for his own territory, but if it is only an acting official, there is no courage to fight to the death. Moreover, if the acting official loses the land, the kingdom is also obliged to help the nobles regain the land, and the current kingdom is a little powerless for this.

This condition is more generous, Cecil is also a little tempted, but after all, he still has his concerns, after all, if the risk is infinite, even if the benefit is also infinite, it is meaningless, and the benefit of not being able to control the risk will be zero no matter how big it is, otherwise an individual can go to the street to blatantly rebel, anyway, the benefit is that you may become the new king. Therefore, if the situation in Samara is really not guaranteed, no matter how good the conditions are, Cecil will not be able to move.

"The situation in Samara is not as bad as imagined," the Count said firmly, "Although the Blood Eagle Knights have suffered heavy losses this time, the rest of the ordinary people who did not participate in the battle of the Demon Gate will still operate in Samara Province. To provide military support to you new lords, the king's several heavyweight knight orders are already gathering in the northeast, and we will not be relentless if the orc empire wants to make a big move. Anyway, you have a very strong backing this time. ”

Seeing the Earl talking like this, Cecil didn't dare to be careless, if the human kingdom really had such determination and such a strong backing, it might not be able to offer such generous conditions. He couldn't help but think of the orc army he encountered during his adventure, which showed that the orcs had been making a lot of moves recently, and they might be trying to take action against the Sauroran Kingdom.

The Earl saw Cecil's thoughts, and said to him with a smile: "You may be thinking that what I said is indeed exaggerating, but you also have to think about the problem, if the kingdom really has the ability to mobilize so many resources for you, then it will not offer such generous conditions, so the weakest time for the king is when you can have a chance to break through the cage of this centralized system." If the king really had a sufficient army and full of confidence, would he still give you so many conditions? I'm afraid it's absolutely impossible, to be honest, I envy you, having such an opportunity, if I had such an opportunity, I would not hesitate to choose this place! ”
