The more than twenty days of conquest before and after made everyone a little tired, and when the magnificent outline of Stormwind finally appeared in his sight, Leo could hear the low cheers of the soldiers in the ranks without paying attention, looking at the banner that belonged to him at the head of the city was still standing tall, and looking at the knights and soldiers who were patrolling back and forth with bright armor on the head of the city, Leo's tense nerves also relaxed, and he first drove Keely to let go of his hooves and run towards the city.

After the capture of the viscounty, everyone did not stay too long in Fort Aubreen, and after a short rest for a day or so, Baron Leicester left all the remaining soldiers behind after Andrew led the stay, and Leo's sword of revenge stabbed at another barony not far away, Fort Ken.

In a slight resistance that was not even as good as that of Viscount Charlotte's domain, the Stormwind army easily captured the small castle, this time Leo did not give Kenn to Baron Leicester, but left 30 champion swordsmen and Stormwings to defend temporarily, and then embarked on the road back with the baron who had lost his territory, thinking that he would soon be accompanied by the Viscount in prison.

The failure to give the castle to Baron Leicester was also based on Leo's deeper considerations, on the one hand, the baron, who was already stretched thin, could not spare the manpower to manage more territory, and on the other hand, for Leo, he needed to have some bargaining chips in his hand to attract nobles to defect, after all, many times the superior people consider problems and cannot only rely on their own likes and dislikes to decide.

With the Knights of Punishment, the Highland Swordsmen, and the few remaining swordsmen and crossbowmen, Leo didn't want to continue the adventure, and expressed his attitude in moderation, without forcing most nobles at the same time, he could also get more time to develop himself, compared to this world, the foundation of Stormwind City is still too weak.

During the time when Leo returned to his own territory, the news of the fall of the two noble castles also reached the ears of the Duke of Orlando, and the Duke who learned the news could not even comfort his favorite Amanda.

"Bastard! Bastard! The long sword in the duke's hand swept away everything on the table, and after taking a long breath and seeing that there was nothing else in the room to destroy, he sat down with a red face like a bullfight, "Amanda, I want to punish this group of bastards who don't know how to advance or retreat, they dare to imprison two real nobles and take their territory for themselves, I want to report this matter to the Imperial Capital House of Nobles, and let them send a large army to completely destroy this foreign hillbilly......"

Just when the duke was furious, a coquettish red lip was gently printed on the duke's big mouth, and the soft snake-like fragrant tongue actively looked for the gap, as if greedy and begging, stirring, and at the same time, a sleazy body with only a white light veil slid into the duke's arms silently, gently pulled out the tip of the tongue, and looked at the duke, who had calmed down a lot, Amanda spoke in a unique voice of extreme temptation

"My dear, if you send a messenger to the Imperial Capital and the old men of the House of Nobles, I'm afraid it will make things worse......"

Greedily grabbing the chest of the stunner in his arms, the Duke asked puzzledly, "Why do you say that?" My darling, I am helpless to do anything about that hillbilly for the time being, and those two captured fools will make others disobedient to my recruitment......"

Under the caress of the duke's rough hand, Amanda twisted her body and replied to the duke in a voice that almost moaned, "You scratched me..., well, dear, if you report this matter to the House of Nobles, I think you will not only not wait for the long-cherished army, but will make the stereotypical old men ecstatic!" ”

Looking at the duke's puzzled frown, Amanda no longer played dumb riddles, sat up slightly and said seriously, "You think, the old guys in the imperial capital and the noble house themselves are extremely dissatisfied with you, and it can even be said that they are wary, after all, you actually control nearly one-third of the land and nobles of the empire, and the knights under your command are even more brave and good at fighting, all of which makes the rotten imperial high-level deeply jealous." ”

Bai Nen's fingers slid irregularly on the duke's chest, and Amanda continued to speak as if caught in her own world, "After they found out that in the Northern Territory, a person with courage and strength who could compete with you suddenly appeared, guess what these people who have nothing to do with you will do?" ”

“…… Damn it? They wouldn't want to officially recognize the hillbilly's so-called Grand Duke, would they? After being reminded by his wife, the Duke of Orlando, who was not stupid himself, broke out in a cold sweat!

"That's right." Holding the duke's cheek with both hands, Amanda looked at the man in front of him seriously and said solemnly, "Not only that, the House of Lords will also summon this Archduke Leo to the imperial capital as soon as possible, and His Majesty the Emperor will personally treat him well, if nothing else, his title and the territory under his actual control will definitely be confirmed, and when he returns to the Northern Territory again, this Grand Duke of Leo will become the final means of the empire to clamp us down, so that we can always keep our needles on our backs!" ”

"Damn, if things do go your way, what should I do to avoid this?"

Putting the duke's face into his plump chest, feeling the slight tingling and impulse brought by the hard beard, Amanda was short of breath and said with a flushed face, "Oh! No, dear we don't need to stop anything, and we can't stop all this, use this rare time to desperately develop our own strength, ignore the requests of those vassal and stupid nobles, and just strengthen ourselves, because any scheme needs to be backed by matching strength! Oh my god ~ don't bite here......"

Not to mention the Duke and his wife in the ecstasy, as Amanda expected, the defeat of the Orlando Roland Christian War, as well as the sudden appearance of Leo and Stormwind, these information were collected and sorted out by countless well-intentioned people, and dozens of messengers rushed to the imperial capital from all corners of the Northern Territory one after another......

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Stormwind City, after separating from Baron Leicester, who was anxious to deal with the trivial matters of the fief, Leo also issued an order to continue recruiting soldiers, and on this day, he was discussing the next development with the butler and Fain, he suddenly heard the prompt of the system in his mind, and hurriedly explained a few words and hurried back to the bedroom to check the system upgrade
