At this moment, there was another knock at the door, only this time it was not a messenger, but Baron Tórse.

"Thor, why are you here?" The Earl of Lens was a little surprised, for he remembered that Baron Thors should still be at the banquet.

"Lord Earl, may I ask you a question?" Baron Thor said.

"Please, I'm listening." Count Lens nodded.

"Are you planning to do a bounty soon?"

"Of course, we have won a great victory, so naturally we should reward the meritorious ones, and in fact I plan to reward them today."

"With all due respect, Lord Earl, I think there is a family that has already received too much honor, and perhaps you should consider reducing the bounty you give them." Baron Thórse kept an eye on the Earl of Lens as he said this.

"Baron Tórles, rewarding meritorious men is what a fair earl should do!" Count Lens's eyes narrowed again, and he looked at Baron Tórse.

"Lord Earl, although you are a brave and fair earl, it is inevitable that there will be accidents when the noble kingdom under your command is strong." Baron Thórse said "sincerely".

"Hahaha, Baron, if I really have to guard against some people, maybe there is a more representative one in front of me!" The Earl of Lens laughed, but with disdain.

Baron Thórse was a little embarrassed, he knew that the other party was sarcastic about him, but he couldn't argue with it.

"Lord Earl, having said that, but ......" Baron Thor wanted to say something, but was directly interrupted by Count Lens.

"Go down." The Earl of Lens waved his hand impatiently, and Baron Thórse could only leave in a gloomy manner.

But no one knew that the moment he turned around, he showed a sinister smile, because he saw it clearly, and when he mentioned that the vassals were too powerful, a strange color clearly flashed in Earl Rens's eyes.

That was enough, he had planted the seed in the heart of the Earl of Lens, and it was just too long for the seed to grow to the size of a harvestable harvest.

"Hehe, Carl Dias, fight with me? You're still far from it! I'm going to make you feel uncomfortable. Baron Thor said viciously in his heart.

After all, he has been loyal to Count Lens for a long time, so he naturally understands Count Lens's personality, and some personality problems will not be easily changed......

……

"Vassals, there is no doubt that we have won this war, but the despicable Count of Lorraine has escaped the punishment he deserves by despicable means."

Returning to the banquet, the Count of Lense announced the outcome of the war to his vassals, and in particular, informed him solemnly that the Count of Lorraine would be able to regain control of his castle as a result of the Duke's intervention.

"Lord Earl, this is not fair! It's a despicable act! Sure enough, the vassals clenched their fists one by one, and their faces turned red.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that they feel much humiliated, it's just that it will lead to less benefit for them, after all, the biggest gain of this war is the capture of Lorraineburg.

The Earl of Lens looked at the indignant crowd with satisfaction, and in this way he had to transfer the hatred of his vassals to the Duke's side.

Seeing that it was almost over, the Earl of Lens laid his hand on and quieted the crowd.

"But even so, we were equally compensated, and we were given a large number of estates and villages, and these lands and people on the land were enough to compensate us for our losses." Earl Lens said loudly, trying to reassure the crowd.

The nobles' eyes lit up instantly, for they knew that many of these lands would fall into their hands.

In fact, for Lorrainburg, they care more about these villages and manors, you know, no matter how good Lorraine Fort is, it can't be attributed to them, it's not so simple to get a castle, but manors and villages are something they can touch.

"Sir Mellen, please come forward." The Earl of Lens was the first to look at the knight who had taken the initiative to launch a siege.

"Sir Mellen, in view of your bravery in this war, I, as your vassal, have decided to grant you Baden Manor as your fief and elevate you to the rank of baron." Earl Lens said.

"Thank you, my lord." Baron Mellen resisted the excitement in his heart and saluted respectfully.

"A manor? And the knighthood was raised? What a reward, and if I'm not mistaken, Baron Melen seems to have only contributed to that siege, and it didn't have much success. Some nobles thought.

At the same time, they looked in the direction of Carl, with envy in their eyes, even Baron Melen can receive such a rich reward, so what should Carl who has made great achievements look like?

Sir Dias, Karl, and Pyne were also waiting expectantly, and they were eager to know what kind of reward the Earl would give them.

With a nobleman receiving a reward, it was soon Carl's family's turn.

"Sir Dias, please come forward." Count Lens said slowly.

Everyone was in good spirits, they all knew that the main event was coming, and Sir Dias and the three of them were also excited, especially Sir Dias, who was called, and quickly tidied up his clothes and walked up.

"Sir Dias, you have done a meritorious service, and as your earl, I have decided to confer upon you the Barony of Wilton, and to raise you to the rank of Baron, and to reward your second son, Sir Karl Dias, with five hundred silver natas, ten barrels of olive oil, twenty barrels of wine and ale, and ten horses of woollen wool." Count Lens said lightly.

As his voice fell, everyone was stunned, it was not that the reward of Count Lens was too rich, in fact, on the contrary, this reward was pitiful.

Elevate Sir Dias to baron? That's nice, but want to value the real wealth represented under the title more than the title nobles, and the Barony of Wilton? What's there? A forest that has not even been developed is not very popular, there are few people, and it is not as good as some villages, but such a piece of land is used as a reward for reward.

It's just that, after all, Baron Dias didn't contribute much, more than his son Carl.

But what about Carl? The reward is not even as good as that of Sir Dias, it can only be said that it is better than nothing, and it is true that the reward of money and various materials can be regarded as a good wealth, but it is far from enough in front of the land!

"Father!" Sir Charles was also stunned, and when he reacted, he hurriedly shouted to his father.

"My son, you don't have to shout so loudly, all right, Baron Dias, now you can go down." The Earl of Lens had no intention of changing his reward.

Sir Charles had no choice but to shut up, because he knew that the current patriarch of the Chriss family was still the Earl of Lens, not him.

"Thank you...... Lord Earl. When Sir Dias returned to the middle of Karl and Pyne, he was still dazed, and he wondered why things had suddenly turned out to be the way they were.

The surrounding nobles were whispering, most of them were not stupid, except for not understanding at first, now they have basically eased up, and there is a faint guess.

In the other corner, Baron Thor looked at everything that happened and sneered, although because of this move, the Count of Lens was also very dissatisfied with him, but at least he succeeded in defeating Baron Dias's family, and it was not a loss.

A good celebration feast was spent in a somewhat oppressive atmosphere.

……

"Bang!"

"It's just not fair! The reward given to us is completely unfair! Inside the inn in Lensburg, Pyne punched the wall and shouted angrily.

"Calm down, Pine, your words will make others think that our allegiance to Lord Earl is fake." Baron Dias said, although he was also very dissatisfied, but he was completely controlled.

"Father, how can we just accept this? Barony of Wilton? What the hell is that place, Wilton Forest, it's still a primeval forest, do we want to collect taxes on those beasts? Pine asked.

Baron Dias was silent, in fact, he didn't understand Count Lens's actions, it would be understandable if he only gave him a lower reward, but the reward given to Karl really made him unable to figure it out.

Thanks to Carl, that money wasn't enough to stuff his teeth.

"Perhaps...... We have been framed. Karl slowly stood up and said.

"What?" Pyne was stunned.

"Have you noticed that the Earl was very warm to us at the morning feast, but when he left and came back, he was only indescribably cold to us, so I guess something must have happened to us during this time." Karl calmly analyzed.

"What could it be?" Baron Dias also frowned, and he also felt what Karl said, but he didn't take it to heart before, thinking that he was just sensitive.

"Maybe you didn't notice it, but I noticed one thing, and that is that not long after the Earl of Lens left, Baron Thors also left......" Karl tapped lightly on the table, telling what he had observed.

"It must be him! Damn it, he's the only one who will hurt me and let us not get fair treatment! Sure enough, as soon as he heard the name, Pyne was stunned on the spot, and regardless of whether the truth was true or not, he scolded directly.

"Shut up Pine, you're going to ruin your image like this, and we don't necessarily have a small gain!" Baron Dias shouted.

In fact, it is also, in this war, Baron Dias's family became a knight, and there is a manor and a village, as for Baron Dias, he has obtained the title of baron and a huge barony, although that land is very chicken, but this exists after all, right?
