The last time Surdak passed through Wilkes City was exactly two and a half months ago.

His only impression of Wilkes City was that the city was so big, and his impression of Wilkes City Military Headquarters was also very limited, but he remembered that the military headquarters was located in front of a square, and the last time he came, the entire Luther Legion soldiers stood in this empty square, waiting for the Chester Swordsman to send out the garrison mission.

This time, he took Samira and Nika into Wilkes City again, and his mood was completely different from last time.

Holding the application of the viscount in his hand, he felt as if he was holding a key to open the door to wealth.

When I first found the Red Dragon Treasure, although I was very excited, it was a surprise, and I didn't have this kind of joy at all.

Surdak entered the city without asking all the way about the location of the military headquarters, and called a magic caravan and tied three war horses to the back of the magic caravan.

The magic caravan soon pulled Surdak and the others to stop at the entrance of the military department.

At this time, the guards at the entrance of the military department hurriedly came over and sent several of Surdak's horses to the stables behind the military headquarters.

……

The military headquarters of Wilkes City is a separate three-story ring building.

The courtyard was full of practicing wooden figures, and there were even a few young officers swinging the knight's long sword in their hands in front of the wooden figures,

Surdak walked directly into the main gate, and the guards at the gate saluted Surdak one after another, here pay attention to military ranks and titles, Surdak is the commander of the local garrison, these guards do not need to salute, but he is also a noble viscount, which shows that he has a great future, and naturally behaves better.

When Surdak submitted the instructions for territorial development to the military department, since Surdak's independent cavalry battalion belonged to the Luthor Regiment, the whole process was very smooth, and soon Surdak's application was approved by the military department.

Holding the parchment paper with the red seal in his hand, he approached the tip of his nose and tattooed the smell of the oil mark on it, and he was in a very happy mood......

He didn't rush to the House Territorial Administration to make a territorial note, and went straight to the door of Chester's office, where Chester was standing on the edge of a wall, discussing something with several officers behind him.

Hearing movement at the door, the Chester Great Swordsman immediately turned his head to look at the door, and found that Surdak was actually standing at the door, and hurriedly smiled and beckoned him in.

"Why did you come to Wilkes City at this time, what happened in Dodan Town?" The Great Swordsman of Chester asked Surdak.

Surdak walked in and saluted the Great Swordsman of Chester.

Samira, the half-elven archer, was wrapped in a shabby thick canvas trench coat and completely wrapped in salamander leather armor.

"I'm ready to open up the lands north of the Thorn Mountains in the northern part of the plane, and this time I'm here to submit my application to the War Department and the House of Representatives." Surdak reported to the Great Swordsman of Chester.

"How's it going, is everything going well?" The Great Swordsman of Chester asked with a smile.

Surdak nodded and said, "Very smooth!" ”

"That's good...... Well, do you have any plans for coming to Wilkes City this time? Need me to help you get a portal pass? The Great Swordsman of Chester asked him earnestly.

Surdak hurriedly waved his hand.

He was going to go directly to the merchant Malacombe, who had regular access to the portal.

The immediate priority is to go to the White Territory Administration in the House of Representatives and submit the application for the viscount and the description of the territory.

He had never gone through this kind of formalities before, and when he went to the white-collar territorial administration, he found that the administrative staff here was very lazy, and after Surdak's application and instructions were submitted, he had to return to Dodan Town to stand by.

This is also the time to wait for the Land Bureau surveyors to conduct site surveys and reviews, and these surveyors usually enter the Invercargill Warcraft Forest with the Legion.

However, this time Surdak was in the Territorial Administration, and he waited from noon until all the Territorial Administration had to get off work, but Surdak's application for a viscount was delayed, and it was obvious that there was some kind of problem, and the public clerk repeatedly ran upstairs and downstairs in the Territorial Administration for a long time, and finally the matter could not be resolved.

Surdak finally couldn't wait, and when the clerk ran back, he knew what the problem was......

There was an overlap between two territorial applications, one of which was Surdak's and the other was on the side of the Magical Guild.

Supposedly, at this time, as long as the public employee cooperates with one party to put pressure on the weaker party and induce the weaker party to abandon the territorial application.

The Magical Union's territorial application was approved a month ago, and now the military has submitted a viscounty application that is really a bit late, and the public official originally found some problems and took the opportunity to invalidate the territory application.

But after a busy afternoon, I didn't find any problems with the claim of the viscounty.

Now the official could only find Surdak and say to him tactfully: "This territory has been chosen by a magician nobleman, and I hope you will maintain a little dignity of the nobleman and give up applying for this territory." ”

As a mage nobleman, after earning enough merits, he has the right to choose a masterless territory in the plane.

Since the mage does not have an army under his command, it is tacitly allowed for the mage to apply for some undeveloped lands in the plane, and many mages choose remote undeveloped territories, and the Territorial Administration will also let them go.

Now the trouble is coming, the land development instructions submitted by Surdak and the thirty-seven conventions themselves mean that this territory was opened up by Surdak.

According to the 433 Law on Territorial Allocation, this territory already belongs to Surdak.

But it was preemptively chosen by the magician...... This is a mistake on the part of the Territorial Administration.

It is said that the two sides can negotiate, and the public clerk of the territorial administration immediately found the middle-aged magician, but the magician did not agree to give up the woodland. The other side did not agree to change the territory, and the public officials wanted Surdak to change their minds.

How could Surdak give up the Invercargill Warcraft Forest and decisively refused.

……

Surdak waited for three days in Wilkes City, but unfortunately the territorial application could not be processed.

Surdak had planned to cross the portal and visit Hathaway and Beatrice in Pena City, but now he was also in a bad mood.

It wasn't until the third day, when Surdak went to Chester's office to chat, that he learned that the House of Representatives had suppressed the application of the Surdak Viscount...... The Great Swordsman of Chester was furious when he heard what Surdak had said.

Before the Luther Legion entered the White Forest Position, there was a defection to the plane in the Talapakant area.

If it weren't for this beast tide, and for Surdak to have the opportunity to open up a territory in the Bailin plane, Marquis Luthor would even have to stop this garrison mission, but now this territory has been taken first before it is developed, and it is even very likely to pick Surdak's fruit, and the Chester Great Swordsman immediately reacted the matter to the Wilkes City Military Department......

The Wilkes City Military Department also applied to the Wilkes House for reconsideration.
