Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

Even though the Earl of Nantes only lost half of his territory, it was actually more than the two or three baronies combined. He would suffer the most if the village had to be divided as compensation according to the rescue agreement.

So he stood up, bowed to Christine, and then said: "Marquis Stewart, we express our most sincere thanks for your rescue, but what your men did seems a little inappropriate."

Although the Count of Nantes had a bad tone, he did not dare to accuse the Marquis of Stewart in front of him. He could only say tactfully that her subordinates were not doing things properly. At this time, if Kristen doesn't want to make too much trouble, she can push everything to her subordinates, and then everyone can discuss it privately.

But she asked instead: "What my men did was inappropriate? What's wrong? Who thinks so?"

When the Earl of Nantes heard this, he knew that the other party was unwilling to give up his vested interests, but he also did not want to lose so much land, so he could only continue: "Marquis Stuart, the nobles present feel so, your men can wait for this time We will take action after the meeting.”

"Really?" Christine asked noncommittally, "Baron Nazaire, do you think so?"

Baron Nazaire hurriedly stood up and saluted and said: "Your Majesty the Marquis, Your Majesty the Earl, I am old, and I have to think about many things for a long time before I can understand them."

His territory has not been invaded by demons and has not suffered any losses. How could he get involved? He could not afford to offend either the Marquis of Stewart or the Earl of Nantes.

Christine added: "Vicomte Angers, there are still two months until the weather gets warmer. I wonder how your people will spend this time?"

"This..." Viscount Angers was speechless after being asked.

His territory is adjacent to the Barony of Le Mans. Although most of the people in the territory were evacuated in time, they retreated and fled because they received the news too late. Most of the villages only had people running away and did not bring much food with them. He also wanted to buy some food from Christine in private after this meeting, but he didn't expect such an accident.

Christine turned around and asked the bishop of the Church of the God of Order who was sitting next to him: "Bishop Carleto, according to the Continental Convention, if a noble cannot protect his people, the church can designate other nobles to receive these people, right? ?”

Bishop Carleto nodded to Christine and then replied: "Yes. This provision is in the Continental Convention."

In this world, the gods are supreme, and what the gods need are believers, so this rule is in place. Once a large number of believers can no longer survive in a certain noble territory, the church of the true God they believe in will come forward to either rescue them or assign these people to nobles who can support them.

The meaning of Christine's words is very clear. Basically all the villages and towns in your territory of Angers have been destroyed by demons. It is still winter, the weather is freezing and there is no food. The people in your territory will not be able to survive, but I have the ability. Feed them.

She continued: "Viscount Angers, according to the "Demon Slaying Order", villages and towns will be lost if they are not recovered for more than three months. Now the villages are in ruins. I don't know whether your strength can support all the villages and restore the greatness at the same time. An altar to the true God.”

The expression on Viscount Angers' face was already very ugly. The standard for village recovery is to restore the altar and connect it to the divine power network, which requires at least fifty believers. A viscounty with more than 20 villages (including subordinate lords and knights) needs 1,200 to 300 people. Can their lives be guaranteed?

If the people cannot survive the past few months if they cannot provide enough food and cold-warming supplies, the church may intervene and distribute them to other nobles. Without someone providing faith, the criteria for regaining territory cannot be met, and in the end these villages and towns cannot be saved.

Seeing this scene, Christine smiled and said: "Vicomte Angers, I have a suggestion, are you willing to listen to it?"

Viscount Angers hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, please speak."

"You hand over your territory to me. When the demonic disaster is over, I will exchange the demon-slaying points for new land and return it to you at half of the current territory. You can move the people there. In exchange, this year, your people will I am responsible for all food supplies, and when you move next year, I will give you another year of food supplies and 50,000 gold coins."

Christine added: "Including the territories of your vassals."

Viscount Angers thought carefully for a while and said, "My lord, Marquis, I promise you."

Seeing that the lord had agreed, his vassals and subordinates all expressed their agreement. After all, they all faced the same difficulties.

Viscount Angers had no choice. If he agreed, he could keep at least half of the land and all the surviving people. If he didn't agree, he would lose most of the land and people.

As for moving to other places after the demonic disaster is over, this is not a big problem. After the territory was captured by demons, all the villages and towns were in ruins. Even if you asked them to rebuild, they would not be able to return to their original state within a year. But if they agree to move, they will not only get a year's worth of food and supplies, but also money for reconstruction.

Christine smoothed her hair and asked: "Vicomte Angers, do you think what my people did was inappropriate?"

"My Lord Marquis, there is nothing wrong with what your men are doing!"

Viscount Angers had completely let go at this moment. After preparing for the meeting, he moved his family to live in Dominaria City, where the conditions were better. He moved away after the demonic disaster was over. Since he was destined to leave the Loire County, why bother giving face to the Count of Nantes?

Christine praised: "Vicomte Angers is still reasonable."

Then she said: "Baron Le Mans (heir), Baron Laval (heir), not many of your subjects have escaped. Even if the village is handed over to you, you will not be able to restore the altar of the great true god. Give me all the territory, and when the demonic disaster is over, I will exchange the demon-slaying points for new land and return it to you at half of the current territory, how about it?"

The two looked at each other, stood up and saluted together and replied: "We agree and thank the Marquis for his kindness."

Even though Christine wanted to take away half of their territory, they actually took advantage. The two of them are destined to not have the strength to feed the surviving territorial residents, nor to regain the lost territory. If they disagree, they will get nothing in the end.

"What do you two think of my men's actions?"

"My Lord Marquis, there is nothing wrong with what your men are doing!"

Christine finally asked: "Baron Shaoying, you and your vassals and subordinates can also consider my suggestions. All other conditions are the same, but when you move, I can only give you one year's food supplies and 30,000 gold coins. .”

The demon army came from Barony Shaoying, which continued its attack after capturing the Viscounty of Angers, so his people took a lot of things with them when they retreated, and they basically had enough food and cold-warming supplies. But he saw that Christine wanted the land so deliberately. If he didn't agree, he would be targeted in the future. He couldn't afford to offend this greedy female dragon.

So Baron Shaoying said: "My Lord Marquis, I agree with your suggestion. I also think there is nothing wrong with what your men are doing."
