Lord Harland.

After successfully killing De Lunxi, Li Cha once again made a miracle.

Now his meritorious service is enough to be granted two baronies, plus Richard's original territory.

According to Grant's law, if you have three baronies, you can be promoted to viscount.

Viscounts have more voting power in the House of Lords than barons.

A baron has only one vote in the House of Lords, but a viscount has five.

If Richard's title is elevated to Viscount, the Harland family will have one viscount and two barons, holding seven votes in the Noble Council.

The total number of hereditary nobles in Geda Province only amounted to forty-six votes. The status of the Haaland family will become extremely important in the Gedda Province.

There is no legal threshold for a baron to be promoted to a viscount, as long as he has three territories, he can be promoted.

However, after being promoted to Viscount, you will have to bear responsibilities as you enjoy the obligations.

If they are recruited by the royal family, they must provide a brigade of troops, even if they are serf soldiers, the responsibility is increased tenfold.

The Harland family is strong and strong, and Richard is not afraid of taking responsibility.

After getting the head of Delunsi, Richard did not send it to Spencer, the Mayor of Heihe County.

Who knows if Spencer is Jerram's confidant, an official of Prince Felix's faction.If Spencer embezzled the military exploits, he would have to go to the noble council to file a lawsuit.It is also very troublesome to dredge the relationship and find someone.

Richard directly handed over Drancy's head to William and asked for credit through the relationship with the Northern Army.

Although this is somewhat against the rules, it almost directly demonstrates the nobles' distrust of local bureaucrats.

But Li Cha would rather expose this contradiction to his superiors than ask for trouble by asking for credit through Heihe County and Geda Province.

The credit was deducted last time, and Li Cha no longer trusts the bureaucrats in Heihe County and Gerda Province.

If the king doesn't give him a satisfactory answer this time, don't blame Richard for not paying attention in future battles.

Nowadays, the army of Harland Territory is a very important force in Geda Province and the backbone of the noble coalition.

The soldiers under Li Cha's command played a key role in the Northern Army's success this time.

If he chooses to paddle in this battle, Marurand captures Platos Castle and joins the main force of Drunci, and the orcs will increase the strength of three brigades in Black River Fort.

With an increase of main forces, Maruland's department will cooperate with Gunderson to defeat Viscount Roman and clean up the periphery of Black River Fort.The orcs may capture Heihe Fort, wipe out the Northern Army, rush into the Dragon Canyon, and corrupt the province of Gerda.

Li Cha didn't believe it either, the king didn't understand people.

If the meritorious nobles on the border were suppressed wantonly because of a little personal grievance, the Kingdom of Grant would not be able to defend the northern border.

Duke Brenner, the pillar of the royal family, is still alive. He was the commander of the army more than a hundred years ago and knows the morale of the soldiers on the battlefield very well. A truly understanding person.

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

If the king doesn't care about it, Li Cha will keep it in mind. From now on, he will devote himself to guarding the territory, and if he goes out of the territory, he will just fool around.

Li Cha is just a small nobleman, if the overall situation in northern Xinjiang is corrupted, who will be distressed in the end?

There is no shortage of capable nobles at all, and the Grant Kingdom can no longer survive, so they can go to other kingdoms, or start over, anyway, Richard is still young.

Richard's attitude gave William a headache.

William and Richard passed several letters, and his opinion was to compromise with the Huolan family, give some gifts, say a few good words, and bow down to get the understanding of the Huolan family.

There is no need for Richard to come forward for specific communication. William will communicate with the new provincial commander.

But Li Cha insisted on his own opinion. If William did not cooperate, he would directly take De Lunce's head to the noble meeting to register his military exploits.

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

Sure enough, Richard directly stated his non-cooperative attitude, which alarmed the top management of Grant Kingdom.

When King Charles saw a small baron, he disobeyed the management. He originally planned to give Richard a good look, but Duke Brenner went to the king's bedroom in person.

After meeting King Charles, Duke Brenner showed no respect for the king and asked unceremoniously: "Richard, the nobleman of Black River County, who decided to suppress his achievements?"

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

"Who the hell? Tell the truth!"

Duke Brener is the real patron saint of the Grant royal family. Only with him in the royal family can he suppress the great nobles and achieve more than a hundred years of prosperity.

Even without the legendary strength and aura of famous generals, the descendants of Marshal Brener are still powerful in the Grant royal family.

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

The old Duke has sixty-three sons, more than 300 grandsons, 1,600 great-grandchildren, plus thousands of great-great-grandchildren in the next generation.

There are thousands of his direct descendants, almost all of whom are professionals, and many of them are officers of the Royal Guards. They are the foundation of the royal family and the core of ruling the country.

If King Charlie is disobedient, Marshal Brener has enough strength to make substitutions.

"It's Belet Holland, he is the consul of the Gedda province, and he suppressed Baron Richard's exploits."

Seeing Marshal Brenner's anger, King Charles did not dare to tell lies because of his former prestige, and immediately told the truth.

"Why did you agree?"

"Belet Horan is the provincial commander I appointed, and I need to trust his judgment."

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

"He wiped out four thousand orcs, of course I know?"

When Marshal Brenner heard this, he was instantly furious, his brain was hit hard, and his eyes were filled with stares.He raised his scepter violently and knocked King Charles to the ground.

Although King Charles is a sixth-level knight, his strength is far inferior to that of the third-level legendary Marshal Brenner, even though the marshal is aging and his physical condition is declining. The powerful force made King Charles unable to compete.

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

After breaking King Charles' arm, Marshal Brenner was still upset and kept cursing.

“If I had known that Louis’ grandson was so useless, I might as well have been the king.

In the Dawn Continent, the king can be ignorant, cruel, and play with women.But you must master power, you must understand the military, and you must be able to grasp the morale of the army.

A king's authority relies on violence, and the greatest violence is the army. To control the army well, one of the most important tasks is to make rewards and punishments fair.

For those who have made military exploits, we cannot blatantly suppress them. 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 rose from the war are very dangerous people. Once you lose the morale of the army, someone will replace you.At that time, the country will change masters.Do you understand this?

The reason why the battle in Geda Province was fought well was because two people played a key role. The first one was Baron Richard, and the second one was the commander of Zachary Corps. As your appointed confidant, you should trust Zachary's judgment, not local bureaucrats. Why have you been so useless after sitting on the throne for thirty years? "
