"Good! Wonderful! Thank you, Leo!" When Leo finished talking about his trip to the south, it was a long time before Gavin XIII applauded. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThose ministers are also convinced of Leo, although Leo rose to a high position at a young age, but after all, people are real swords and guns, and they are completely different from those who are in the shadow of their fathers.

"I didn't expect this trip to counterinsurgency to be so thrilling, but fortunately you went, if you sent someone else, maybe you might not be able to defeat Lorraine's magician group!" Gavin XIII's exclamation made several ministers present nod their heads, Lorraine, who is known as the country of magic, was able to stand tall in the mainland countries by virtue of the magician group, and the fierce reputation of the Lorraine magician group is enough to deter the surrounding countries, even the Varu Empire may not dare to provoke. I didn't expect to be completely defeated by Leo with only a few hundred people, this battle really raised eyebrows for the Varu Empire.

Gavin XIII's praise, Leo humbly moved William and McShunner out of the army, and the pacification of the south was also inseparable from the two of them, if Leo alone could not handle the affairs of the three provinces, he was not dragged down, all relied on the cooperation of William and McShouner, and they were divided into three ways to resist the invasion of Lorraine, but their luck was just that they happened to encounter the magician regiment.

Leo's modest words, Gavin XIII didn't listen to it at all, and before Leo finished speaking, he waved his hand and interrupted: "Leo, you have made a great contribution this time, and I discussed with the senators of the Senate a few days ago about rewarding you. You are now an earl, and for the time being, you can only be promoted to a rank and made a marquis. However, as compensation, your fiefdom is up to you to choose. ”

Gavin XIII's tone was full of apology and apprehension for Leo, for fear that Leo would complain about it. However, of course, Leo himself has long been mentally prepared, and the word "meritorious master" has often appeared in Chinese history before it has been crossed, so Leo naturally will not be arrogant. Moreover, being able to be promoted to a marquis was already very satisfying for Leo, who was already the first person in the history of the Varu Empire to be promoted to a marquis by virtue of his military exploits in his teens.

It is also very important for Leo to be able to choose his own territory, and if he assigns himself to a desolate place like Viscount Covenas, then Leo will really not be able to cry.

"Patriarch Nathaniel has made two fiefdom proposals for you, which you can refer to. Gavin XIII waved his hand slightly, and two chamberlains stepped forward and unfolded a map of the Valu Empire's territory distribution in front of Leo.

"One is the city of Ryan that you fought this time, the fief of the former Marquis of Griffins, you should already know a little about the situation there, where commerce is extremely developed, and the annual tax revenue is relatively rich, which can be regarded as a piece of fertile land. Gavin XIII looked at Leo's expression, but he didn't see any excitement and joy, so he said: "The other one is Silverstone City in the northern Xinjiang, but compared with Lien City, this place is much more desolate, and you should know more about the specific situation, the only advantage of Silverstone City is that it can be integrated with your current territorial castle, of course, the disadvantage is that the tax will be much less than that of Lien City." ”

Do you still need to think about it?Leo didn't even blink his eyes before he immediately made a decision in his heart, absolutely proper must be Silverstone City.

Although the geographical location of Lien City is high, but now Leo himself secretly monopolizes the ceramic business of the entire empire, which can be said to be a daily income, and he doesn't care about the taxes in Lien City at all. Silverstone is different, on the other hand, there is a Miss Winnie in Silverstone that she dreams of day and night.

Of course, there is also a very critical issue that also makes Leo have to choose Silverstone City, that is, the original Haruna Village, the current Goblin Fortress, this is a time bomb-like existence, and it must not be known by others until it is fully prepared and foreshadowed, so it will only be safe for Leo to turn the surrounding area of Silverstone City into his own territory.

Gavin XIII gave Leo two choices, but whether it was Gavin XIII or the other ministers present, even Nathaniel, who made the suggestion, thought that Leo would definitely choose the city of Rien. Because the city of Rien was personally reclaimed by Leo himself, it has a natural authority over the nobles in the city, which is more convenient to rule and manage, and the lively and rich city is also more in line with the temperament of young people.

However, Leo's words made Gavin XIII stunned.

"I choose Silverstone City in the North!" Leo said categorically.

The ministers looked at each other, unable to believe their ears, Leo would choose the desolate and bitter Silverstone City in the northern Xinjiang if he didn't choose the warm, comfortable, lively and rich Rien City?

Li ...... Leo?...... Why did you choose Silverstone? Are you wrong, you don't have to make a decision so quickly, think about it!" Gavin XIII looked at Leo in surprise, and he reminded Leo with a hard look.

Leo looked at the anxious Gavin XIII, smiled slightly, and replied with a calm and loyal look: "Silverstone City is the important place of the Northern Frontier, guarding the gate between the Empire and the Badlands Wasteland. As a nobleman of the Empire, I am deeply favored by the Empire, and as a courtier of the Empire, I am also deeply trusted by the Emperor and His Majesty the Emperor, so it is natural that it is my responsibility to share the problems of the Empire. With me as the lord of Silverstone City, I can better defend against the possible invasion of orcs and guard the northern gate for the empire!"

Leo ...... Leo, you...... You!" Gavin XIII was moved to tears by Leo's impassioned words of loyalty, and his mouth trembled and trembled. Several ministers also secretly applauded Leo in their hearts, and their opinion of Leo was even higher than ever.

"I really should let Duke Solo also come to listen to your words, so that he can also see what a true loyal man of the empire is!" Gavin XIII saw that Leo was so loyal, and couldn't help but think of the slanderous words that Duke Solo had said to him a few days ago, and he valued Leo even more in his heart.

"Okay, okay, Leo, since you can think so much about me and this empire, I won't persuade you anymore, even if I owe you once this time and let you be wronged, if you make another meritorious service in the future, I will definitely compensate you twice!" Gavin XIII did not be polite to Leo at the moment, and directly made Leo's choice a certainty. (To be continued.) )
