Hardy went from a baron to a viscount, with a status level of +1.

The 40 gold coins that Jeanne's family had been giving were gone, and in its place was a large fief.

Very big.

The territory that Virginia had previously canonized was just a mountain forest, more of a fief in a symbolic sense, telling others that this family was a serious nobleman.

And the territory given by the Jeanne family is a large area.

Among them is a medium-sized city, Hucaro.

Three towns, and five villages.

With a total population of more than 200,000, this territory has good potential for both commercial and military value.

Normally, this is not a fief area that a viscount can get, at least a marquis.

But it also proves from the side how much the Jeanne family values him.

As for the knighthood...... Because Jeanne's family is a duke, naturally they can't canonize vassals who are higher than viscounts.

The canonization of viscounts and above is only authorized by the king.

Hardy slept in his tent, looking at the letter of appointment in his hand, and felt funny.

When he came to the royal city, the main purpose was to eliminate the potential threat to his life, but he didn't expect to become a viscount by mistake.

How hard is it to get a knighthood?

The vast majority of knights, who have been loyal to a lord for five or six generations, may not be able to rise from knight to baron.

After all, a turnip is a pit.

The area of the territory is so much, there is no land for you to canonize, but there is no more, you have to wait.

But the title is hereditary, as long as others have children and descendants, they are not afraid that the inheritance will be broken.

Even if you only have a daughter, you can recruit a son-in-law to come to the door.

Therefore, it is very common for the knight family to wait for two or three hundred years.

As for why Hardy was able to get such a large piece of territory from Jeanne's family, the reason is very simple, that territory was previously owned by Madame Sissi.

She has been idle there since she got married.

Now that she has returned to the Jeanne family, as the heir of the Jeanne family, she no longer needs that territory, and can naturally be assigned to vassals.

Who can take over such an important piece of territory now?

Naturally, it is the 'savior' of Jeanne's family, Hardy.

If the knight's promotion to baron is a hurdle, then the baron's desire to rise is a few hurdles.

Because the higher the status, the number of high-level titles is reduced.

With the status of a viscount, a city as the base, and the background of Jeanne's family, Hardy is confident that after the player enters the game in a big way, he can use the player's 'characteristics' to influence the political situation of Francis.

Hardy fell into a deep sleep.

When he went to bed the next day, he found that the soldiers in the barracks were all in high spirits, and the eyes that looked at him were even more reverent.

Rogge came out at this time, he looked at Hardy excitedly, and asked, "Master, can we live in Hukaro City in the future?" ”

Hardy looked at the excited Rog, and then looked at the expectant eyes of the other soldiers around him, he nodded and said, "Of course, in the future, your household registration can be transferred to Hucaro City." ”

There was cheering in the barracks.

Laughter came and went.

Hardy didn't bother to bother with the overexcited soldiers, it was necessary to give them proper relaxation.

He went straight to the castle, and now, as a vassal of Jeanne, it was necessary for him to 'report' every day.

While everyone in the castle was eating breakfast, Honorine saw him come in, and immediately beckoned the maid to bring another one, and said with a smile, "I thought you would get up later." ”

After all, he was suddenly canonized as a viscount and got such a large piece of territory, no matter how old or young he was, he should have been so excited yesterday that he probably couldn't sleep very late.

didn't expect that Hardy's heart was so tenacious, and he looked like a nobody.

But the more this happened, the more Honorine decided that she had made the right decision.

A young person who can maintain his sanity and self-discipline in the face of great benefits will have unlimited achievements in the future.

"The matter of the wing will not be discussed until tomorrow." Honorine smiled, "So today, you can take a break." ”

Hardy looked left and right and asked, "What about Lord Dora?" ”

"He went out of town to inform Victor." Inoline smiled, "Tomorrow Victor will join you in the royal team." ”

Hardy's eyes snapped open, and he asked urgently, "Why did Lord Victor come back?" ”

"This is the king's request, he said that after all, Ling is a foreign surname, and there must be a person from the Rangna family to preside over the personnel on our side, otherwise it will be difficult to ......" Inoline saw that Hadi's face was getting more and more serious, and her heart suddenly tightened, and she vaguely understood something: "Wait, is there something wrong!" ”

Hardy pressed her temples with a headache, which is not good for women, sometimes too emotional and naïve.

But he also knows that being too demanding on women is a wrong thing in itself, after all, an empress like Wu Cao would be good if she could produce one in ten thousand years.

"Hopefully I'm thinking too much." Hardy explained, "I'm just afraid that the old king and the lion faction are mixed up and are dealing with us. ”

Honorine muttered, "Unlikely. ”

Hardy finally understood why it was clear that Inoline was usually very strong, and it stands to reason that the Jeanna family should not be weak. But a few years later, she 'defeated' the Na family to the point where it was about to be removed from the royal bloodline.

This kind of pinning hopes on the 'stupidity' of the enemy is highly undesirable.

"His Excellency Victor's infantry regiment stationed near the forest farm should not have been withdrawn." Hardy asked.

Facing Hardy's questioning eyes, Honorine smiled awkwardly: "Last night Dora said that they should be withdrawn and let them join the Knights of the Silver Wing, and it is time for the infantry regiment to rest. ”

Hardy couldn't eat, and he gently put the cutlery back on the table.

"If you can't withdraw it, if you want them to rest, you can send other legions to the top, or even send my army out, it's a strategic place, we occupy it, even if there are only two hundred people, it's a threat to the enemy." Hardy felt more and more painful in his head: "The royal family is also quite insidious, the old king should play the emotional card with you." ”

"Why are you ......" Inoline was surprised, and then fell silent.

She understands that the more accurate Hardy's guess is, the more 'stupid' she is.

The air seemed to fall silent.

Lady Sissi looked at the silent Honorine, turned to Hardy and asked, "What should we do?" ”

She pushed the plate with the breakfast plate forward.

Now there is no leisure to eat.

"I'll leave the city at once with the army." Hardy thought for a moment and said, "You guys are sitting at home, and I hope things don't turn out the way I thought they would." ”

Hardy immediately got up and left the castle.

Soon...... Hadi's army left the manor and headed straight for the outside of the city.

Standing on the high platform, looking at the army in the distance, she took Mrs. Sissi's hand: "I am old, and this family will be handed over to you to manage in the future." ”

"Mother, how can you say such a thing, let Na's family rely on you all the way."

Inoline shook her head, her old face full of tiredness: "I'm so tired, so tired that I don't know how to handle things properly. It's time to give power to you young people. ”
