"Our King is really generous this time!" Barrett's expression of hanging his hands and tilting his head, coupled with the raised corners of his mouth, is as sarcastic as it gets: "Even if my performance is good, the current reward of nearly 20,000 gold coins seems to be a bit out of the ordinary!" ”

"Do you think he is using this method to suppress your military exploits and create trouble for you to obtain noble status?" The Earl of Boreham nodded, but then his voice changed suddenly: "They do, but they have to ask us if we want to." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info: Those guys might be trying to get you in trouble this way, right. But now you can take the benefits with confidence. I'll take care of the rest. ”

The Norhan royal family is indeed trying to limit the influence of Bolim, but this kind of open and secret struggle must also be based on the Basic Law. Military merit must not be deducted, otherwise it will shake the foundation of the kingdom. However, in terms of exchange, he can make some moves, such as giving some strange things that are of little use like now, in short, not letting Barrett's military reserves continue to rise.

However, even if the royal family can act within the rules, the Boreham family will not let them ruin their plans. Don't look at Barrett's four strange things this time that can't be said to be useful, but can't be said to be useless. However, his new exploits have not been completely consumed, and some have been retained. As long as you can keep it, it will be more than enough to get a noble title of fief after the war.

"I'll leave it all to you." Barrett thanked him from the bottom of his heart. Although the Earl of Boreham is willing to help so much, it is also because of the interests of the family itself. But Barrett is one of the real beneficiaries.

While Barrett was reporting on his work, the purge and anti-corruption work in the city was still continuing. The enemy on the surface is gone, but the invisible threat still lurks in the shadows. Although the Lucians did not have time to destroy when they retreated, they would not leave a devastated ruin on the side of Nohan. However, they have just taken over the city from Lu, but they are not able to effectively use the various resources here to turn them into the needs of the next battle.

"Damn! Are all the guys in the Fourth Legion dead? There aren't many Nohans besieging the city! I didn't even hold it for a day. In the dim candlelight, there was even the sound of grinding teeth. It can be seen that its owner has a belly of resentment against the army that had lost the previous battle.

Immediately afterwards, someone chimed in: "Not only the Fourth Army, but the entire Western Front is a waste. Isn't there good news every few days? How come it was that few days of hard work and only those few deserters remained. If it weren't for the fact that they were so incompetent, we wouldn't be where we are. ”

"What's the use of saying that now? Now the most important thing is what do we do next? "Obviously not everyone likes to shirk their responsibilities here, they are more concerned about their fate in the future.

"What else can I do! Before you get a specific order, you should be a man with your tail between your legs. I don't think the kingdom will give up on us."

But there are also those who are confident in their abilities: "You coward, I'm going to have to make some trouble for those damned Nohans." ”

As soon as the words fell, someone raised his voice: "You guy is looking for death by yourself, don't implicate us." As far as your three-legged cat is concerned, I don't think I'll be caught by them before I can cause trouble to the Norhans. ”

"Shhh You're determined to lure those Nohans here! Someone who noticed that the volume was starting to rise immediately became nervous. Then everyone fell silent, and the basement immediately fell silent.

There is definitely more than one similar situation in the city. The loyal sons of Lucia, who had not had time to evacuate, huddled in what they thought were safe rooms, plotting plans that would negatively affect the Khan side.

As a town that the Lucians had been running for hundreds of years, it was unclear how many loyal citizens there were in Ulrika, even to their original rulers, let alone outsiders like Barrett. Although the streets have been cleared, the residents of the upper and lower urban areas are all hiding in their houses, and there is no threat in the short term. But since the Norhan side occupied this place, they did not plan to take a handful of it and run, but to operate it for a long time. Then the next cleanup is the top priority.

The tumors hidden in the city range from civil servants who had no time to escape to intelligence agents who had been lurking in the city for a long time -- all of them eating official meals. And only these guys, on the one hand, worried about the liquidation of the Nohan people, and on the other hand, nostalgic for the old master, will do such a thing.

However, for the Norhans who have already included Urrika City, although those lurking bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods are troublesome, they are not the first difficulties they need to face. The first priority now is to restore order to the old order of the city, from a lifeless burden after being plundered to a new cow close to the front line.

After completing the exchange, Barrett briefly disposed of his belongings, and immediately threw himself into the work of re-establishing order. The number of administrative personnel who sent the army to the expedition was too limited, and there were too few experienced personnel in governing the city, so in order to be able to recover from the military as soon as possible, they had to arrest strong men everywhere.

Although Barrett had little experience directly involved in administration, the figure who was a side branch of Borem had a special education at a young age - a basic benefit given by the Boreham family, although not all aristocratic families were willing to afford it. For most families, only the heirs and a few descendants will enjoy the power of elite education, and most of the rest will have to figure out their own way.

It is precisely because of the Boreham family's education method of casting a wide net that their power expansion is very smooth. But behind all this is a huge financial support, otherwise everything is just a castle in the air.

Barrett's educational experience, his skillful handling as a steward of the estate, and his steady style all the time made the Earl of Boreham feel very comfortable sending him to the post of civil servant. And the Boreham family's reputation for being good at domestic affairs has also meant that Barrett's change of status has met with few opponents - he will probably have to deal with the pile of papers for a long time from today.
