After successfully killing Drency, Richard once again performed a miraculous feat.

Now his exploits are enough to be awarded two baronies, plus Richard's original domain.

According to Grant law, if there are three baronies, you can be promoted to viscount.

Viscounts have more voting power in the noble council as compared to barons.

A baron had only one vote in the Council of Nobles, while a viscount had five.

If Richard's title were raised to the rank of viscount, the Haraland family would have one viscount, two barons, and seven votes in the noble council.

The combined hereditary nobility of Geda Province is only forty-six votes. The status of the Haaland family will become extremely important in the province of Geda.

There is no legal threshold for a baron to be promoted to a viscount, as long as there are three territories, you can be promoted.

However, after being promoted to viscount, he enjoyed the obligation and had to take responsibility.

If you are called up by the royal family, you must provide a brigade of troops, even if it is a serf soldier, and the responsibility is increased tenfold.

The Haaland family is strong, and Richard is not afraid to take responsibility.

Having obtained Drency's head, Richard did not deliver it to Spencer, the mayor of Blackriver County.

Who knows if Spencer is a close confidant of Jerram, an official of Prince Felix's faction. If Spencer embezzles the war exploits, he will have to go to the noble council to fight a lawsuit. It is also very troublesome to dredge up the relationship and find someone.

Richard directly handed over Drency's head to William, and asked for credit through the connections of the Northern Legion.

Although this was somewhat unruly, it almost directly singled out the distrust of the aristocracy towards the local bureaucracy.

However, Richard would rather expose this contradiction to his superiors than ask for trouble and ask for credit through Heihe County and Geda Province.

The last time he was deducted credit, Richard no longer trusted the bureaucrats in Heihe County and Geda Province.

If the king doesn't give him a satisfactory answer this time, don't blame the future battle, Richard doesn't care.

Today, the army of Haland's territory is a very important force in the province of Geda, the backbone of the noble coalition.

The reason why the Northern Legion fought well this time was that the soldiers under Richard's command played a very key role.

If he chooses to paddle in this battle, Maruland captures Platos Castle and joins up with the main force of Drency, and the orcs will increase the strength of three brigades in Blackriver Fort.

With an increase of 6,000 troops, Maluland's troops will cooperate with Gunderson to defeat Viscount Rohmon and sweep the perimeter of Heihe Fort. It is possible for the orcs to conquer the Black River Fort, annihilate the Northern Legions, rush into the Dragon Canyon, and erode the province of Geda.

Richard didn't believe it either, and the king didn't understand people.

If the border meritorious nobles are wantonly suppressed just because of a little personal grudge, the Grant Kingdom will not be able to hold the northern border.

The Duke of Brynner, the pillar of the royal family, is still alive, he was the commander of the army more than a hundred years ago, and he knows the military spirit of the battlefield very well. It is a person who truly understands.

This time, Richard deliberately went against the norm in order to tell the royal capital that there was no possibility of cooperation with the local bureaucrats.

If the king doesn't pay attention, Richard will keep it in mind, and in the future, he will focus on guarding the territory, and leaving the territory will be just paddling and fooling.

Richard is just a little aristocrat, if the overall situation in Northern Xinjiang is erosive, who is distressed in the end?

There is no shortage of masters for nobles who have the ability, and the Grant Kingdom can't go on, so you can go to other kingdoms to mix, it's a big deal to start over, anyway, Richard is still young.

Richard's attitude gave William a headache.

William and Richard wrote several times, and his opinion was to compromise with the Holland family, give some gifts, say a few kind words, bow his head and soften to obtain the understanding of the Holland family.

Richard does not need to be present for specific communication, William will communicate with the new provincial commander.

But Richard insisted on his opinion, and if William did not cooperate, he would take Drency's head directly and go to the Council of Nobles to register his exploits.

In desperation, William had no choice but to agree to Richard's request and communicate with the upper echelons of the Grant Kingdom through the legion commander Zachary.

Sure enough, Richard directly showed a clear attitude of non-cooperation, which alarmed the high-level of the Grant Kingdom.

When King Charles saw a little baron, he disobeyed the management, and originally planned to give Richard a good look, but the Duke of Breener himself went to the king's bedchamber.

Seeing King Charlie, Duke Brenner had no respect for the king, and asked unceremoniously: "Richard, the nobleman of Black River County, who decided to suppress his exploits?" ”

Seeing that King Charles was a little ignorant, the Duke of Brenner raised the marshal's scepter, slammed the floor hard, and asked sharply.

"Who the hell is it? Let's be honest! ”

The Duke of Brynner is the real protector of the Grant royal family, and he can suppress the big nobles in the royal family, which has been prosperous for more than a hundred years.

Even if he does not have legendary strength and the aura of a famous general, the descendants of Marshal Brenner are still powerful in the Grant royal family.

Pansy Grant, president of the Grant Kingdom Magic Society, is his descendant, and the Duke of York is also his descendant.

The old duke had sixty-three sons, more than three hundred grandchildren, one thousand six hundred great-grandchildren, plus several thousand great-great-grandchildren of the next generation.

There are thousands of his direct descendants, almost all of whom are professionals, many of whom are officers of the Imperial Guard, who are the basic members of the royal family and the core of the ruling country.

If King Charles is not obedient, Marshal Brenner has enough strength to make a substitution.

"It's Berette Holland, the consul of the province of Geda, who has suppressed Baron Richard's exploits."

Seeing that Marshal Brehner was angry, King Charles did not dare to tell nonsense because of his previous prestige, and immediately confessed the truth.

"Why did you say yes?"

"Berlet Horan is my appointed provincial commander, and I need to trust his judgment."

"Do you understand Baron Richard's military exploits?"

"He annihilated four thousand orcs, of course I know?"

When Marshal Brenner heard this, he was immediately furious, his brain was hit hard, and his eyes were a little starry. He raised his scepter fiercely and knocked King Charles to the ground.

Although King Charles is a sixth-order knight, his strength is far inferior to that of the third-order legendary Marshal Brenner, although the marshal is old and his physical condition is declining. The power was so great that King Charles simply could not contend with it.

Brenner broke King Charles's arm with a scepter, and scolded fiercely: "You have been a king for thirty years, and you don't understand anything, I don't know why you supported this waste back then?" It's better to beat you to death and let Roger come back as king. At least he understands military affairs and won't let the people below fool him. ”

Breaking King Charles's arm, Marshal Brenner was still angry and kept scolding.

"I knew that Louis's grandson was so useless, and it was better to let me be the king back then.

In the Dawn Continent, the king can understand nothing, be brutal, and play with women. However, it is necessary to grasp the strength, understand the military, and be able to grasp the military heart.

A king's authority depends on violence, and the greatest violence is the army. To control the army well, the most important task is to reward and punish fairly.

We cannot blatantly suppress those who have made meritorious contributions in battle, because doing so will hurt morale and the morale of the army. After a few times, you will have no prestige in the army.

It is very dangerous to lose the morale of the army and not be able to suppress the army.

The officers who rise from the war are very dangerous people, and once you lose your military spirit, someone will replace you. When the time comes, the country will change owners. Do you understand this?

The reason why the battle of Geda Province was fought well was played by two people, the first being the Baron Richard, and the second being the Captain of the Legion of Zachary. As your appointed cronies, you should trust Zachary's judgment, not local bureaucrats. You have been on the throne for thirty years, how can you be so useless? ”
