Richard is mobilizing his men to repair the dilapidated Fort Hel.
It shouldn’t be called Helburg now. After Richard was awarded the title of Earl and obtained the ownership of Helburg, he gave Helburg a name that sounded a bit unconventional, Demon Suppression Castle. The purpose was very obvious.
And it is obvious that Richard is not satisfied with the Demon Suppression Castle existing only as a military fortress. He wants to follow the model of Ironwood City, carry out extensive construction, operate the Demon Suppression Castle as an inner city, build a larger city on the periphery, and completely treat the wilderness as a
Control of your own back garden.
Fortunately, the original building of Fort Hel was strong enough, and the ogres did not destroy it for long. It only needed some simple repairs to make it possible to move in.
Although Richard didn't flatter him in the right place this time, Sol was indeed generous enough to Richard.
In addition to the title of earl, Sol also gave Richard a fiefdom exceeding the specifications of an earl.
This fiefdom included all the originally expected territory of the Hel family, and also brought with it several noble territories that were wiped out when the ogres moved eastward.
These small territories are just between Helburg and Bander Territory, which is equivalent to dividing the current Demon Suppression Castle with a narrow strip of land.
Taken together, the population directly or indirectly under Richard's rule has exceeded one million, making it the second largest force in the North after the Lanster family.
Although the rest of the people were surprised by the size of the fiefdom that Richard obtained, after all, Richard's contribution was solid and did not directly harm their interests, so no one raised any objections.
The Lanster family, the only one who might object, was under Lint's control at this time, and did not raise any objections. Richard successfully obtained the position of earl, and also obtained territory that exceeded the specifications, and even obtained the right to rule.
Unlimited rights to explore the wilderness.
More importantly, after being granted a real title and territory, the buildings of Invincible Heroes also experienced certain changes.
new week
Richard opened the Stone Fortress interface, and after recruiting new troops as usual, he found that in the building interface, the upgraded building of the Assembly Hall and the Interior Hall had been lit up.
This is currently the only building that can be built in Stonefort. There is no need to hesitate and just build the Interior Hall directly.
"Home Office: Provide you with 200 kinnars per week."
Two hundred gold nuggets a week was definitely good enough when Richard was starting out, but now it's a bit better than nothing.
However, with the idea that something is better than nothing, Richard upgraded the meeting halls of Linzhong City and Stone Castle to the interior hall. The combined income of both parties is close to two thousand gold Naars a month. There may be something else in the future.
It plays an important role, but Richard didn't discover it.
…
In the large tent of the Chinese army,
Thor is still making arrangements before withdrawing. Although Grugesh has completely retreated into the wilderness, the coalition forces led by Thor cannot leave directly. They will have to wait for at least a few more days.
Richard will sort out the current Demon Suppression Castle and only after the Flying Bear Army has completely settled in, Thor will lead his army to leave.
"Lord Saul, is the fief you granted Richard too big?"
When there was no one around, Kurtz finally expressed his doubts. This time, Kurtz was promoted from baron to viscount. However, he had to follow Thor all the time and it was impossible to take the territory of Northland. He sealed another piece of territory.
The manors around the royal capital,
Normally speaking, whether Richard is strong or not in the Northland, he has nothing to do with Kuz. However, although Kuz cannot be said to have no thoughts of his own, he is definitely loyal to the kingdom and a staunch royalist.
Richard's ambition is almost written on his face, and you can feel it even if you get to know him personally.
"It doesn't matter, as long as he is loyal to our clan."
People stand at different heights and have different ways of looking at problems.
If the Golden Dragon Kingdom were the only one on this continent, and there was no Orc Kingdom with a sharp knife hanging above its head at all times, Thor would restrict and suppress Richard Ye even if he did not directly destroy him.
But now, when the Golden Dragon is about to betray its alliance and the foundation of the Golden Dragon Kingdom is shaken, the appearance of a powerful and ambitious lord like Richard in the North is not a bad thing for Sol.
Thor made some things clear. He was first a human, and then the king's uncle, the Dragon Knight of the Golden Dragon Kingdom.
This time, Richard's active performance in the war with the ogres was also a huge bonus in Thor's eyes. At least in this big matter, Richard's performance was impeccable.
If Richard dares to sit back and watch the fall of Piaoxue City and the destruction of the Lanster family for the sake of profit this time, then he will definitely receive the most determined suppression from Thor.
As long as justice is intact, Thor can accept being ambitious. Under the huge threat from the orcs, Thor's bottom line has been stretched very low.
"What about Baron Dane?"
"It's okay, he is actually the most suitable commander of the River Valley Legion now."
This is Saul's second more difficult-to-understand arrangement.
Dane was directly sealed in the River Valley. Not only did he regain his title, he was returned to his post and became commander of the Army in the River Valley again.
Where did you really fall and where did you get up?
Sol's arrangement can be said to be both unexpected and reasonable.
Dane's previous betrayal has caused him to renounce himself from the nobles of the valley. Thor cannot stay in the valley for a long time. He has no time, and it is against the rules to continue to serve as the governor of the valley.
In order to prevent the garrison from being corrupted by the nobles of Burai City in the river valley again,
After much thought, Thor once again placed Dane in the position of commander of the River Valley garrison.
Dane, who had skipped one counterattack, would never be able to win the trust of the nobles in the valley again. This time, Thor was able to accurately attack the nobles in the valley and make each family hold their noses to pay and provide food, all because of Dane, a local snake.
lead the way,
Dane had offended the nobles of the river valley to the end. When he returned to the river valley again, he could only be a lone minister, honestly fulfilling his responsibility of garrisoning and influencing the river valley for the kingdom.
"Go down and prepare. In a few days, when the Hunter family has completely established their footing, we should return to the royal capital."
"Yes, sir."
Sol treats Kurtz and other cronies kindly, and Kurtz dares to speak directly if he has any questions. However, Sol's decision is absolutely unquestionable and will be carried out resolutely.

Piaoxue City, Lanster Residence
Lin Te was still sitting in front of the case handling government affairs, but he was obviously much more relaxed these days.
The current main force of the Jingbei Army was led by Sander and another army commander, who together with Saul sent the ogres out of the country. Lint did not leave the city with the army.
At this time, he had just received the news about Sol's knighthood. He was not a knight, and such a thing would never happen to him.
After reading the letter silently, Linte murmured to himself:
