In a very short time, news spread throughout the Duchy of Rizland, the great and honorable Earl of Lensburg, ruler of Winterburg, who had died on the battlefield against the Flos, and his first heir, Sir Charles, had declared his successor to all the titles of Earl of Lens.

……

"Sylvia, how are you hurting?" Sylvia, who was still wearing bandages on Carl's side, couldn't help but be a little worried.

When Sylvia returned to Sylde Manor a week earlier with her wounded and few remaining soldiers, Karl was stunned, especially after learning that the war between Earl Lens and Fort Carmel had ended in defeat and even that Count Lens had been killed in battle.

He knew that this was the rhythm of something big, after all, the position of the Earl of Lens was too important.

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine, but I'm sorry for you, the soldiers of the Hagrid Legion ......" Sylvia's voice was a little painful, he took half of the Hagrid Corps with him, and only a few of them were brought back.

"No, it's not your problem, and it's already the greatest blessing that you came back alive." Carl reassured.

Sylvia was very moved, she didn't expect Carl to value herself so much.

"Sir, what are you worried about?" On the side, Juliana seemed to see Carl's uneasiness.

"It's Sir Charles...... No, now it's the Earl of Luns, it's the letter from the Earl of Lens, who asks all the vassals to go to Winterburg for the ceremony of his succession to the title, and at the same time we need to pledge our allegiance to him once again. Karl said in a deep voice.

He knew that Charles was feeling a lot of pressure, and he needed this way to stabilize his rule in Rensburg and Winterburg.

This is also a helpless move, after all, he is still young, and he does not have enough merit to convince the vassals, and it is very likely that it will affect his rule, after all, there are not one or two people who covet his title......

"If that's all there is to it, it doesn't seem worth worrying about, does it?" Juliana thought for a moment and asked puzzled.

Karl understood what he meant, if it was really just that, it was nothing more than a ceremony of allegiance, he was a vassal of the Earl of Rens, it was nothing.

"You're right about Juliana, but the Earl gave me more than just a letterhead, he gave me a letter of appointment...... Carl smiled bitterly.

"Letter of appointment?"

"Lord Earl has appointed me his military governor." Karl sighed, as if it was a difficult task.

"Military Governor? What a great opportunity, Lord Karl! This means that Lord Earl trusts you and your family, and you can become a member of his court! ”

Carl hadn't said anything yet, but Sylvia was excited, because he saw it as an important opportunity to increase the influence of Carl and the Dias family, and it was a great honor.

Karl looked at Sylvia, who was in excitement, shrugged his shoulders and said, "My dear Sir Sylvia, this is not something to be happy about......"

Sylvia was stunned, it was the first time he had heard that someone was going to enter the Count's court and was not happy, and it stands to reason that the appointees should be ready to celebrate at this time.

However, he was not stupid, and he quickly reacted and knew what Carl meant.

The military governor is very important in wartime, he will lead the army to defeat powerful enemies and bring honor and wealth to his monarch, and his position in peacetime is unquestionable, because he also has an important duty, that is, to maintain the stability of the territory, to ensure law and order, which is also the business of the military governor.

And what is the current situation of the Earl of Lens? The Great Emirate of Fort Carmel is still at war, although it is really only an enemy of Fort Carmel, but it is enough to make people feel the pressure, especially after a big defeat, although for various reasons the army of Fort Carmel did not appear in the territory of the Earl of Lens, but it is also really in the war.

And now that the old Earl Lens has died in battle, his realm will fall into chaos, although the old Earl Lens has no other heirs who will compete with the Charles for the right to inherit or inherit the title, but the territory is now full of panic, full of chaos, it has become a paradise for those lowly guilds, and all kinds of dirty transactions are being staged.

And if Carl really served as the military governor, even if there was no peace of mind.

Of course, he also knew that Charles was not trying to embarrass him, so he would not be dissatisfied.

"Do you accept the position, Lord Sir?" Sylvia asked.

"Hah, I don't have any other choice." Karl smiled bitterly, although he would not be reluctant if he really rejected Charles, and he did have the right to refuse, but there was no doubt that he would completely offend Charles, and maybe the new Earl of Lens would think that he had any different intentions, and then the matter would be a big deal.

"Sylvia, I'm going to Winterburg to be a member of the court of the Earl of Lens, I can't stay at Sild Manor, and the safety of Sylde Manor will be in your hands." Carl said in a deep voice.

"What do you mean?"

"You are injured now, it is really not suitable to toss more, I hope you can stay in Sild Manor, and protect my territory from the destruction of the enemy during my absence."

"Master Karl, my injuries are out of the way......"

"Sylvia, letting you stay means that I trust you and believe that you can protect my territory!" Carl directly interrupted Sylvia, who knew that Sylvia had misunderstood.

Seeing Karl's serious eyes, Sylvia nodded hesitantly.

"Lord Karl, don't worry, I will swear to protect the peace here to the death, and will not let any enemy plunder your territory, not even those Flos!" Sylvia put her fist in front of her heart and said seriously.

"Hahaha, very good, the Hagrid Corps is left to you, and you can restore the Hagrid Corps to its establishment." Karl's eyes flickered, Hagrid's corps had lost too much this time and had to recover.

"Hagrid's Corps? I understand. Sylvia nodded, he understood what Carl meant, this time Carl was going to take the Thorn Corps, he couldn't be alone, in that case it would be a joke for him, the military chief.

The Thorns aren't much of a bunch in Winterburg, but they're a good boost.

"Juliana, in my absence, the development of the territory depends on your arrangement, you have to remember that all kinds of measures must not be stopped, no matter how big the consumption is, it is worth it, and the wealth is endless." Karl asked his butler.

"Of course, no problem, my lord." Juliana chuckled, she liked this kind of thing very much, and she was still very happy to see the territory getting richer and richer.

"You guys go down first, by the way, help me get Kevin, I have something to discuss with him." Karl commanded with a wave of his hand.

This was a major event for Carl, and there were many details that Karl had to discuss with others thoroughly.

……

"My father, your assumption is correct, the Earl of Lens was defeated in this war, he fell for the enemy's strategy, and his army penetrated into the territory of the Flo alone, resulting in a great defeat."

In Ritzland Castle, Sir Frederick's face was a little unpleasant, and he relayed the news he had just received to his father, the greatest ruler, conqueror, and wise man of the Principality of Rizland, the Duke of Rizland.

"Oh? Did it really fail, so how much did the Earl of Lens pay? The Duke of Rizland slowly opened his eyes, and he was not too surprised by the defeat of the Earl of Lens.

"Almost all the army was wiped out, and the remnants of the army of more than a thousand people finally fled back to Winterburg, less than a hundred."

"Heh, it seems that our angry lion has completely broken his teeth this time, I really want to know what he looks like now, what kind of expression will he have?" Duke Rizland smiled, he didn't care how much Count Lens paid, he was more concerned that Count Lens was no longer capable of threatening his rule.

If these words spread out, it would definitely cause a sensation in the outside world, because no one on the Duke of Rizland's side could guess how many of the backhands were hidden, and it was even clear how many troops were left on the Earl of Rens's side.

Of course, this is not the credit of the Duke of Ritzland, at least not all, but mainly on his heir, Sir Frederick.

"My father, the great ruler of the Duchy of Rizland, I don't think you'll ever have the chance to see the face of Count Lens again." Frederick had some regrets.

"Oh?" Duke Rizland raised his eyebrows, not knowing why.

"The old Earl Lens was killed by the Florians, and the present Earl of Lens is the son of the old Earl of Lens, the Earl of Shire."

"What? The Earl of Lens died in battle? The Duke of Rizlan jerked himself up from his chair, his eyes full of disbelief.

The Dillmans and the Flo have been fighting for a long time, but there have not really been a few deaths of nobles or even nobles of the level of the earl, which is like a fairy tale!

"Frederick, my son, it's not funny, I hope you don't joke with me." Duke Rizlan said solemnly.

"Father, I don't think anyone would make fun of a noble earl, at least not me."

Seeing the frankness in Frederick's eyes, Duke Rizlan took a deep breath and sat back in his place.

The Duke of Rizland's expression was constantly changing, even a little gloomy, although he hoped that the Earl of Lens would be frustrated, but he never thought that he would die in battle! Anyway, it was also his vassal, and now he died at the hands of the infidels, which made his face gloomy.

"Help me write a letter acknowledging the status of his son Charles, and take the oath at a later date."

"Yes."
