"Will I be able to gain the loyalty of you and your family?" This sentence is not the result of impulsiveness, since he came to this world, he has been carefully maintaining all his own, and at the same time, he is trying his best to plan the future path, not mentioning the darkness similar to the medieval era, nor mentioning the ambiguous answers of the system, just for the glimmer of hope to be able to go home, Leo must also stand on the top of this world.

Perhaps this was the only way he could get out of here, rather than having to leave behind an heir and eventually assimilate into this world, as the ancestors of the Baron de Leicester did, a goal that would not have been possible on his own.

It's not the first time that Leo regrets it, he regrets that he didn't bring those powerful companions in Pande when he modified the game, if he was surrounded by Bodesse, Donovan, Sir Roland or even Anson at this time, he wouldn't worry about the future, Leo, who was in dire need of talent, could only rely on the help of this world's nobles now, and Baron Leicester, who had a blood oath, was the best choice at the moment.

Looking Leo up and down carefully, the baron's face was like an eternal rock, making people suddenly not feel any of his thoughts, for a long time, facing Leo's confident and unflinching gaze, he suddenly played with the deep Lester Baron spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, returned to his usual state and said to Leo

"After thinking about it, I found that I really can't find a reason to refuse you, dear brother, as a nobleman, to be honest, I'm not a good mix, if nothing else, the Swan family will completely disappear in my generation, whether it is from the perspective of the family, or those rotten and rigid bigwigs that I have always looked down on, I think I have no choice but to accept your kindness, of course, more importantly, now the Swan family has been labeled as belonging to your power."

With that, the baron jumped off his horse and solemnly saluted Leo on his chest, "I, Lester Crest, on behalf of the Swan family, swear to you that I recognize you as the patron and supreme lord of the Swan family, as long as you can maintain our status and dignity; If you do not accept it, the above oath is invalid! Looking up, the baron looked at Leo silently.

"I, Lord of Stormwind, owner of the Knights of Discipline, Grand Duke of the Great Pande, accept the oath of allegiance from you and your family, and swear by my honour and nobility to do everything in my power to protect the Swan family and give them a position second only to me, and hereby in the name of the Archduke of Pande, I bestow the Castle of O'Brien to His Excellency Baron Lester Crest, who shall enjoy all tax appointments and dismissals as your new fief."

Because it was a formal acceptance of allegiance, Leo did not dismount, but completed the oath he accepted in accordance with the proper etiquette, and conveniently gave O'Brien Castle to the baron, Leo was not distressed at all, the development of Stormwind City was enough for him to worry about, anyway, the newly captured territory did not have the energy and manpower, it was better to give it to the most closely related Baron Leicester.

After completing the formal ceremony, Leo jumped off the unicorn in the baron's stunned expression when he heard the news, picked up the baron with his own hands, and smiled, "Don't be stunned my brother, you better consider whether to recruit more officials to help you manage your new territory now." ”

"Of course, your generosity is astonishing, my lord!" Since he has carried out his allegiance, the baron decisively changed his name and changed his title, and he doesn't have much concern about the ownership of the new territory, since he has decided to take sides, don't be half-hearted, otherwise it will be difficult to get benefits on both sides, as for Viscount Charlotte, who lost his territory? Who would consider his feelings?

"Good!" After successfully subduing the world's number one men, Leo was in a very good mood, and after seeing that the castle had almost no resistance, he slowly walked into the baron's new territory with the baron and the rest of the people.

A few hours later, in the hall of Aubreen Castle, Leo was surrounded by everyone, holding his chin with one hand, and looking at Rhodes kneeling on one knee with interest with some unsightly legs, and the poor viscount who was tied up into rice dumplings and thrown aside.

"You surprise me, soldier, what several of my regimental commanders want to accomplish is actually preempted by you, tell me, what kind of reward do you want, don't worry about my generosity!"

Probably a little unbearable for Leo's complaints, Keith puffed up and interjected, "Damn, my lord, oh! I don't mean you, you can't blame me and Finn for that, I've heard that this bastard has been staring at Charlotte alone from the beginning, and besides, who would know that this damn viscount is not a soldier's opponent, it's really cheap kid. With that, Keith was still angry and gave the humming viscount a kick.

Finn and Anthony put Keith back with some amusement, "Shut up Keith, don't let the adults laugh, are you so pitiful that you don't even let go of such a little honor?" ”

"Okay, okay! Lucky boy, say what you want. Keith muttered a few more words before urging Rhodes to do.

"En......" subconsciously scratched the back of his head, quickly looked up at Leo and quickly lowered his head, Rod mustered up the courage and said, "Honorable lord, well, I want to be a powerful warrior, it would be best to be a big man, so that I will have my own farm and a farmer who works, and probably find a good-looking mother-in-law, in this way, if my father is still alive, he will definitely be happy for me, right?" Thinking of his tragic death of his parents, Rod's eyes turned red as he spoke.

At first, Leo and the others couldn't stop laughing when they listened to Rod's request, and as Rod mentioned the sad thing, no one smiled, Leo stood up and gently patted his back in Rode's incredulous gaze, "Become a big shot?" Kid, I'm sorry I can't make you a nobleman right now......"

In Rhodes' somewhat disappointed eyes, Leo smiled and continued, "But I can agree to other requests, I will temporarily promote you to the captain of the champion swordsman battalion, replace your brother who died in battle, and promise that after the expansion of the storm swordsman battalion into the swordsman regiment, you must be the head of the regiment or one of the deputy leaders, and you will be specially allowed to ask Grand Master Fein for swordsmanship in your free time, and finally, 100 gold coins and a farm close to Stormwind City are my additional rewards for you." ”

"Wow ~ Oh my God!" Leo's promise caused an exclamation in the hall, the gold coins and the farm, and even the future head of the regiment promised to pay it back, such a reward made the eyes of several champion swordsmen who watched the gate hot at most, and they could ask Fain for the right to teach swordsmanship at any time, which made Baron Leicester and Andrew extremely envious, especially Andrew, only those who have witnessed Finn's battles many times can fully understand his terrible from the heart, a humanoid killing machine.

"As you wish, my lord." Finn next to him smiled and said yes, although he didn't quite understand, but His Excellency the Grand Master, who unconditionally trusted Leo, still agreed without any guilt.

After waving his hand to signal the excited and helpless Rhodes to step back, Leo also issued a reward to the other warriors, in addition to all the good food and wine, including the highland swordsman, each ordinary soldier can get a reward of 10-20 gold coins, several temporary officers and Edward are more numerous, and the wounded and killed soldiers, they will receive several times the amount of compensation, these gold coins will be distributed to their families under the personal supervision of the impartial and impartial Punishment Knights, presumably after the news comes out, Leo's reputation will increase dramatically, and his soldiers will be more loyal.

As for the Viscount who was thrown on the ground like maggots, after discussing a few words with Leo, he motioned to the soldiers to throw him into the prison built by the Viscount himself, I am afraid that before the family comes up with enough ransom and a satisfactory price for Leo, the poor Viscount can only be temporarily wronged, anyway, at least Leo respects the traditions of this era and does not execute a nobleman easily, a very fair thing, isn't it?
