If it was in a relatively stable era, a local nobleman like Lin Feng would definitely be hit to death by the powerful "iron fist" of the empire, but the empire, which was in the midst of a civil war, would not have the energy to take care of this mess in Jinyue County now.

The new Emperor August is fighting with the former Emperor Prince Andy, and in the future, a larger-scale demon war that will sweep more countries is still waiting in the near future!

More than half a month passed like this, and the noble council headed by Earl Harold gradually found out:

"There's something wrong with this, Viscount Golden Rose has mobilized all the legions of the coalition army in the name of exercise and training during this time, is it really necessary? Well, this is a waste of a lot of military spending!"

"The coalition of 30,000 people has almost every regiment rotated once, and you have not noticed that the regiment that has returned in this rotation has also replaced more than half of its middle and low-level officers, and those subordinates who are loyal to us seem to be gone, 'Injured during the exercise, and have been sent back to the rear to recuperate', haven't you doubted anything?"

"Hey, you also found out about this situation? I thought that only the hereditary knight of my family was injured, but I received a letter from him, and in his letter, he explained the situation, saying that he accidentally fell off his horse during the actual combat exercise, broke his leg, and was sent back to Jinyue City to recuperate. ”

"Do you believe this, do you say you're stupid, right, your family tradition is like this, hehe!"

"Who are you talking about? You slander my family honor, I want to duel with you!"

It turned out that as soon as this building was crooked, it was difficult to be straightened over, and in the end, Earl Harold had to end their meeting in advance, however, although he did not make any decisions at the meeting, but after synthesizing the doubts raised by the various nobles, he still transcribed a letter of doubt and handed it to Lin Feng and asked him to give a clear explanation for those doubts.

After Lin Feng received it, he just glanced at it a few times, and then threw it aside, according to his plan, he could have a complete showdown with them in three or two days, through this period of time to win over and buy, Lin Feng has completely controlled all the power of the coalition army, and there is only one chance left to uncover the hole cards.

In addition to the nearly 2,000 people lost in the blockade battle in Spark Town, the 30,000 coalition troops in Jinyue County also stripped out the part of the coalition army that were loyal to the noble council, and organized them into three discontent thousand-man teams, as for the remaining 25,000 people, well, they were the harvest of Lin Feng at this stage.

Under the repeated urging of Earl Harold, Lin Feng finally sent someone to give him a clear answer on the third day after receiving the letter of question: "At ten o'clock this morning, in the central square of Silver Pine Castle, I will conduct a grand knighthood canonization ceremony in the name of the Viscount Golden Rose of the Proud Dragon Empire, and all your questions will be answered satisfactorily after the ceremony." ”

At the same time, all the nobles in Silverpine Castle also received invitations with similar content, to which some said that they would definitely participate, while others expressed disdain.

Well, according to the etiquette of the imperial nobles, Lin Feng should issue the invitation at least one day in advance, so that they can be prepared, instead of holding the ceremony at ten o'clock on the same day, as now, but he will send the invitation at eight o'clock.

However, Lin Feng also did this deliberately, as long as the nobles who received the invitation letter could attend the ceremony on time, then he would be recorded on Lin Feng's white list, if he didn't take it to heart after receiving the invitation, he would do whatever he wanted, Lin Feng would put them in another book, well, these people will also be the ones who will be "posted and not followed" in the future.

Lin Feng attaches great importance to this knight canonization ceremony, in addition to the group of subordinates who are far away in Rose New Town, he also summoned the subordinates who are eligible to be canonized as knights in Nanlin Island and Golden Moon City to Silver Pine Castle, they will be officially canonized as hereditary knights subordinate to Viscount Golden Rose together with the group of wandering knights in the original coalition army, and most importantly, they will all get a hereditary knight domain!

Lin Feng's viscount originally had less than twenty officially entitled hereditary knights, and at this canonization ceremony, he would canonize nine hundred and fifty-six hereditary knights at one time, and set aside nearly 500,000 acres of hereditary knightly lords for them, that is to say, the northern area of Jinyue County that Lin Feng had just arrived in had only passed through one circle in his hands, and most of the land suitable for cultivation on it was divided by him.

Although the canonization ceremony was very boring, after all, they also followed the old-fashioned process, "swearing allegiance, accepting the oath, and issuing the territorial status", well, due to the large number of people, they were all lined up in a small phalanx of fifty people, and they accepted Lin Feng's canonization at the same time;

However, whether it was the knights who were ordained or the outstanding soldiers who were selected to participate in the ceremony, their enthusiasm was very high, as evidenced by the waves of cheers that continued to ring during the ceremony.

Of course, among the people who participated in the canonization ceremony, the nobles led by Earl Harold, they were the most unhappy, and their buzzing discussions have not stopped since the first batch of knights were on the field:

"What the hell is Viscount Golden Rose doing? These knights who have been canonized belong to the coalition forces, right? Yes, the guy who is second in the first row, he has received my salary for five years, and he is still in my employment period!"

"Yes, don't say that your knights are inside, the two wandering knights I hired the year before last are also in the team, what is Viscount Golden Rose doing here, he actually canonized them all as his own hereditary knights, well, why are there so many waiting to be canonized over there?"

"However, canonizing hereditary knights is not as simple as us hiring these knights, as long as we give them a certain annual salary, if we don't give these canonized knights a hereditary territory, Viscount Golden Rose does this, he is just directing a farce, except for making people laugh, he won't get any benefits at all!"

"However, if he can take out those lands and give them to these knights, then won't he turn our coalition army into his private army? You know, these knights are the backbone of the coalition army, oh, what a despicable Viscount of Golden Rose, if he completely controls the coalition army, then wouldn't his power be even greater than the old Marquis of Golden Moon?"

At this moment, the last group of knights also completed the procedure, and now, only the last and most important step remains: to issue hereditary realm status to these new knights.

As the hereditary field viscount of the Auron Empire, Lin Feng had the power to issue this territorial status, and the territorial status he issued was still the kind of final ruling that was one-step, reasonable and legal, and recognized by all nobles.
