Chapter 37: Response

Ahem,

Xiao Wen coughed twice, and the entire conference hall immediately fell silent.

And all the people looked at Chauvin, who was sitting on the throne.

I have called you here today because I have a special matter to discuss with you, Xiao Wen said after everyone looked at him.

As we all know, it was we who recaptured the towns of Wells and Halfington from the invaders of the Kara Empire.

It was we who kept the townspeople of Wells and Syndington from being plagued and mutilated by the invading soldiers of the Kara Empire.

According to the Duchy's wartime aristocratic fiefdom law, we recaptured the towns of Wells and Beddington.

Then we have the right to rule the two towns.

But some people were not reconciled to this, and they sent messengers to ask us to give them back the land and towns that we had worked so hard to regain from the invaders of the Kara Empire, and to ask me to give them a sum of money as compensation for some illegal occupation.

It's ridiculous.

Of course, I could not have agreed, so after giving some punishment to the messengers they had sent, I drove the so-called messengers back.

But they were not reconciled, but sent people with money and money to the national capital, wanting to rely on external forces to put pressure on my family to return the territory to them.

I have to say that their methods are good, or they use a lot of money, and finally impress some powerful figures in the national capital.

In addition to the Baron of Wales, the two main families of Baron Biddington, the family of the Count of Chacora and the family of the Marquis of Prada.

A formidable force indeed.

And according to what I received, they had already united three days ago to put pressure on our Cassadine family.

And while they put pressure on our Cassadine family, they also handed over to my grandfather, the Grand Duke of the Principality of Emma, Emma IX, a so-called record of my crimes.

Haha, do you know that in this record, all my sins are recorded?

Xiao Wen looked at the subordinates on both sides of the long table and said with a smile.

I tell you, they have proclaimed to the Lord three of my great sins and two lesser sins.

The first cardinal sin: that is, I illegally occupied the Barony of Wales.

The second cardinal sin is that I have illegally occupied the Barony of Biddington.

The third great sin: I cut off one of the ears of the messengers they sent to return to my own territory.

Two Minor Sins:

Article 1: I took in, in the small town of Wells, the mayor of Kara Empire, Mayor Jack and other two-hearted people.

Article 2: It also means that I took in the town of Sandington, who has a good impression of the invader Kara Empire, the mayor of Gonca and others.

Article 3: Say that I have illegally occupied their property.

I have come to make an article, hoping that the Grand Duke will call the shots for them.

What a ridiculous accusation, as soon as they heard that the enemy was coming, they took their families and ran to Aitianlongbian Fort for refuge, and dared to send people to the national capital to pretend to be pitiful and smear me.

After hearing what Xiao Wen said, Mayor Jack and Mayor Gonca sitting at the bottom had a look of remorse on their faces, it was precisely because they had illusions about the Kara Empire that someone now uses their affairs to deal with Xiao Wen.

My lord, I'm waiting for you to cause trouble, Mayor Jack and Mayor Gonka glanced at each other, and Mayor Jack got up with a look of guilt on his face and saluted Xiao Wen.

Mayor Jack is fine, you and Mayor Gonca don't have to worry about it, if the enemy is looking for trouble, then even if it is not your business, they will find something else.

Of course, don't worry, our Cassadine family is not vegetarian.

Yesterday I received a letter from my family, written to my father, Marquis Ellene of the Duchy of Emma.

In the letter, my father told me more details, and at the same time told me not to worry too much about this matter, he will help me deal with it.

He also told me a happy event, that is, my eldest brother Aika: Cassadine, who is about to get married.

And the object of marriage is the youngest daughter of the Marquis of Samar.

So in the letter, my father also asked me to go back to the national capital as soon as possible to prepare for the wedding of my eldest brother Aika.

Of course, as mentioned in the letter, the Council of Nobles asked me to explain the situation at that time.

But my father also told me in the letter that he had also taken care of the Guiyang Council, and that I would just go through the formalities when I went.

So now what you have to do is to take care of the affairs of the territory for me, and I will take care of the rest.

Chauvin appeases Mayor Jack and Mayor Gonka.

Then Xiao Wen said to the subordinates on both sides of the long table: I will inform you of this matter, just to let you pay more attention recently, so as not to let the enemy have a chance to take advantage of it.

At the same time, I have decided to go to the capital in the next few days, and I will make some arrangements for you before leaving.

First of all, General Gao Shun led the soldiers trapped in the camp to go to the national capital with me, and was responsible for my safety all the way to avoid accidents.

Butler Kad will also be with us, and as for Jiamu, you will stay in the territory this time and be responsible for helping me manage Qingguang Castle.

After I left, the affairs of the territory were handled by the affairs officer Olaf, the civil affairs officer, Jingping, and the tax officer, Fa Shanxing.

The military affairs were handled by Mufur, Gong Lier, Meng Feng and others.

At the same time, Mayor Jack and Mayor Gonka, both of you must also help Slanka and Simal to strengthen the town's defenses.

In Benjamin, you lead your fourth battalion to the Gukou Fortress to help Bu Feng garrison, you remember that the Tanikou Fortress cannot afford to lose.

Rest assured, my lord, we will manage and guard everything in our territory.

Very well, you all go down, and don't rush back today.

I've prepared a banquet for the evening, and everyone will come in the evening, so that you can communicate with each other and get acquainted with each other.

Okay, my lord, I'll definitely come to the evening, and when I heard Xiao Wen say that there would be a banquet in the evening, everyone said they would attend.

After everyone left the council hall, Xiao Wen silently recited in his heart, and the system displayed the military attribute page of the territory.

Ding dong

The host now has a total of 6,300 soldiers.

The details are as follows:

Territory: Mori Wood Collar.

Number of troops:

One, trap camp X600 people.

Second, the first battalion of Svadia infantry x 600 people.

Eighth, the garrison of the town of Sandington x 600 people, the cavalry battalion 360 people.

Nine, the garrison of the small mountain pass fortress x 600 people.

10. The Qingguang Fort garrison is x300 people.

Xiao Wen looked at the number of troops in the territory displayed by the system, and sighed with emotion, he didn't expect that he would have so many soldiers under his command now.
