Iros stretched out his hand and held Fiona's hand, which was already covered with sweat.
Step by step, Fiona walked into the range of the trebuchet and the range of the crossbow.
Fiona looked at the rows of soldiers, the sweat on their faces and the hesitant expressions on their faces.
They are subjects and are physically attached to the nobles.
What they eat is the count's food, and what they receive is the count's rewards. The serfs are even born as the count's people, and they die as the count's ghosts.
He could feel the hesitation in their hearts. Fiona was chipping away at their thousand-year foundation.
But if we don’t do this, how can a new era come?
A strong hand gave Fiona confidence and strength. The Grand Duchess shouted to everyone: "Knights, soldiers, people of the Shire! Do you recognize me?"
I am Fiona, your Grand Duke, Fiona Gross!"
The whole place fell into silence, and the air became thin.

Baldwin dismounted.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" The serfs and free people were surprised to find that their commander-in-chief did not escape. With the help of his attendants, Sir Baldwin strode towards Fiona and Iros.
When the knights saw this scene and understood Baldwin's choice, they collectively dismounted and surrendered.
Surrounded by cheers and praises, Fiona laughed loudly and shouted to Baldwin: "Hey, Baldwin, you came too slowly. I remember that you were the first to fight with soldiers in several expeditions."
Wire."
"I'm late, Your Excellency, but I hope it's not too late."
Baldwin knelt down on one knee and presented his knight's sword to Fiona with both hands: "I will lead my army to be loyal to you!"
"Put away your sword, fool."
Fiona kept smiling. She looked at the knights who knelt down and announced their surrender. The Grand Duke opened her arms: "Without a sword, how can you protect your Grand Duke and her people?"
Baldwin couldn't help but burst into tears. Yes, this is the lord I want to follow, this is the ruler of our Shire.
How can those decadent old nobles compare with our Grand Duke Fiona? Only she and her family can make the Shire greater:
"You are right, Your Excellency the Grand Duke, you are right, the castle of the Marquis of Angoulan is still some distance away from here. Please let us follow you to the ends of the world!"
"Clement's knights and soldiers, regroup and line up in three columns! Turn around!"
Baldwin turned around and gave orders to the soldiers: "Tear up all those rags! Raise our red and blue lion flag and iris flag!"
"Yeah yeah yeah!"
Raymond held the tricolor flag of the Guards tightly with both hands and planted the flag on the ground. A thunderous war cry resounded throughout the world: "Long live the Grand Duke Fiona! Long live the Grand Duke Fiona."
"Long live Grand Duke Fiona! Long live Grand Duke Fiona!"
The cheers in the wilderness spread far, far away.
The next day, the gates of Count Clement's castle were opened, and Fiona's army entered.
The splendid and extravagant count's palace, the Palace of Rouen, opened its doors.
The old Count Clement ran away with a small part of his personal property. They took a boat to the sea and took refuge in Marienburg in Albrex, leaving behind an empty count's castle and a large group of civilians and civilians who had gathered.
Many knight nobles took the initiative to stay and wait for the arrival of the King of Knights.

Amid cheers, Fiona visited the Rouen Palace.
"Your father ran away, Baldwin."
Fiona and Iros entered the palace and admired the luxurious decoration of old Count Clement. Fiona smiled at Baldwin and said:
"Don't he know what punishment he will face as a noble if he fails to hold on to his land?"
"Earl, he fears your judgment, Your Excellency the Grand Duke." Baldwin said calmly: "He fears you as much as he fears storms and lightning."
"No, he is no longer a count."
Fiona looked calm, she looked at Baldwin, stretched out her hand and pointed lightly: "I, Fiona Gross, Grand Duke of Charles, announce that from today on, you, Baldwin Clement, will be the new Earl of Clement.
!”
An indescribable excitement enveloped Baldwin's heart, and he knelt down on the spot: "I am willing to die for His Majesty the Grand Duke!"
A new order will come to this land!
"What? That girl Fiona has already occupied the Palace of Rouen? Thousands of troops surrendered without any resistance?"
The Marquis of Angoulan stood up from his seat. He simply suspected that he had heard wrongly:
"Can you say that again?"
Edward bowed, and the Home Secretary looked unhappy:
"Yes, my Lord Marquis, there was no battle, the old Earl of Clementine escaped, and Archduke Fiona announced that Sir Baldwin, who had turned against him during the battle, was the new Earl of Clementine."
"How dare she? How could she go beyond me as a marquis and appoint a count in my fiefdom?!"
The Marquis of Angoulan became angry and shouted outside:
"Robert! Get in here!"
"Yes!" Robert, the combat staff, came in quickly: "My Lord Marquis, what are your orders?"
"Assemble all the troops immediately and drive Fiona and her army out of my principality!"
