"From the Vlad Inland Sea to the Astra tundra, from the Nora Marshes to the Arian Mountains, it's all my territory!"

"Oh......"

Ingrid brought a map of the Duchy of Montabullrock to Annan, who didn't understand at all, and Annan handed it to Giraldi: "Can you circle your location?" ”

Annan then saw Giraldi pick up the quill and tap it in the northeast corner of the map.

It's not at all what he says......

"If you don't believe we can form an alliance and sign a contract!" Giraldi said anxiously as if grasping at a life-saving straw.

"We didn't disbelieve you." Ingrid recounted, "We're just trying to judge how much power you have left. ”

"The truth is...... This ship is my last treasure. Giraldi confessed the truth in frustration: "I spent all my money while asking for help, and even the guards felt that there was nothing with me and ran away." ”

"On the bright side, at least he didn't betray you." Ingrid "comforted," "So you don't have anything?" ”

"I still have status!" Giraldi raised his head, his eyes flashing with reluctance and vengeful anger, "I am the nominal heir!" As long as I'm alive, that mad dog has no recognized inheritance! ”

"This is Middle-earth, the place most influenced by Wilhelm. If the Mad Dog Archduke is not the first heir, then his desire to become the Grand Duke of Montabulllock is bound to be resisted - and killing all the heirs will make him "justifiable".

Giraldi has nothing left, but he still has an identity. As long as he becomes the Grand Duke, he will be able to gain the support of the entire Duchy of Montabulllock in the future......

"Looks like you're getting smarter."

A familiar voice came from outside the door.

"Uh...... Miss Alice ......" Giraldi stood up in embarrassment.

Annan looked at Alice and then at Giraldi: "You know?" ”

"He wanted to know my father through me, but he did it the wrong way." Alice walked into the living room and sat next to Annan.

"What's the solution?"

"Propose to me."

Annan said to the embarrassed Giraldi with a disgusted face: "You want Mr. Evaro to help, and you want to marry his daughter, I don't dare to think so......"

Giraldi sat down stiffly.

"Does Mr. Evaro know about this?"

"I didn't see him......"

"You're in luck."

Thinking that he was being targeted by Mr. Schwaro because he was close to Alice, if Mr. Schwaro knew that someone dared to pursue his daughter, he would probably banish Giraldi to the void.

"Why are you here?"

Annan focused his attention on Alice. There was no way, Giraldi's humble did not look like a great nobleman at all, making it difficult for Annan to put his place on an ally.

"I learned about your troubles from the Dean."

"I can fix it."

"I know, I'm just coming to see." Alice said calmly, "I looked outside when I came, and Gem City is fine. ”

"It's been renamed Liberty City." Annan spoke of the brief visit of the envoys, "It was the only good thing that those bastards did. ”

After catching up with Alice, who she hadn't seen for a long time, Annan paid attention to returning to the neglected Giraldi: "The Duchy is a vassal state of the Tatunn Empire, didn't you ask them for help?" ”

"They think it's a private affair of the Montabullrock family......"

"Isn't the Mad Dog Grand Duke a usurper?"

"Because the empire ...... I don't care about that. ”

Annan suddenly remembered the "barbarian" attribute of the Tatunn Empire...... The heir fights are really nothing to the empire.

"You're here just in time for the show to begin."

Annan looked at Ingrid who was standing aside, "There are still forty minutes." She said.

"Your fourth magical image?" Alice asked.

"Just a judgment that brings the hearts of people together in Liberty City."

Annan told the Rem mercenaries what they had done, and when he heard that the leader, Machiavelli, was a master, Giraldi was moved.

"You're doing a great job." Alice said.

Annan was glad Alice understood her. Glancing out the window at the square, the residents had already begun to gather.

……

At noon, eighteen mercenaries from the Rem Mercenary Regiment were brought out - the makeshift gallows could barely fit them.

Their mouths were gagged with sackcloth so as not to delay the judgment. Ingrid pushes Ittilia to the gallows, where she pronounces her guilt in front of the residents and the survivors of the village.

Giraldi sighed, feeling that Annan was wasting his precious wealth - the mercenaries themselves.

Next to Annan, Alice whispered, "Are you going to help him?" ”

"Why not?"

Originally, Annan was going to deal with the mad dog Grand Duke. It is a win-win situation to be able to befriend the future Grand Duke while solving the Mad Dog Grand Duke now.

As for helping the heirs who have no chance...... Annan also has a second prince's life box. They may have a chance to form an Avengers in the future.

Speaking of which, Giraldi's appearance is not bad, and the second prince is of Montreal blood, so it shouldn't be too ugly...... Maybe there is a real chance to star in "The Avengers".

"I thought you wanted to be a Grand Duke"

“…… Not at all. ”

Annan shook his head defiantly. He just wanted to build Liberty City and make it a wonderful city-state that all living beings wanted, and then find a chance to go south to see the rat people and vampires......

At this time, the sentence was pronounced, and Etilia said, "Execution." ”

The soldier standing by the gallows lowered the pedals, and Annan covered his eyes at the same time.

"You're afraid to come and see it?" Alice's voice sounded next to her.

"I'm not scared, I just don't want to have nightmares."

……

"They must be crazy!"

The laughter of the mad dog archduke shook the candlelight in the castle hall as if it were shaking.

"They actually hanged their own people, but they killed dozens of untouchables...... I'd rather trade a thousand untouchables for a master! The Mad Dog Grand Duke looked excitedly at the gray-robed mage, "Mr. Dahl, you are worthy of a city. ”

"That thief killed the mercenary who helped him, who will stand by him? We can now send elite cavalry to rush to Jewel Bay and throw the slave contract in his face, and if he doesn't agree, he'll step there!" ”

The knight captain standing in the corner of the hall raised his head excitedly: "Crazy...... Crazy genius idea! Grand Duke, please let me lead the team! ”

Just as the Mad Dog Grand Duke was about to speak, the gray-robed mage said, "Grand Duke, I suggest that we pioneers make the militia tempted and consumed. ”

The mad dog archduke, who was disturbed, suppressed his emotions: "Why? ”

"Even though the eternal elements of the Champion Warlock are gone, I fear he has other means......"
