Come to another world and become a lord

When Jim's little finger was delivered to Carl, he was not actually too moved. He was just surprised at Iren's style of doing things. Cutting fingers? What kind of gang style is this? Of course, Iren was indeed a gangster before, so it was not surprising that he could do such a thing. The document from the king had been delivered two days ago. This document officially confirmed Carl's ruling scope in Rick Territory, including four villages including Porter Village, two forests, a grassland, and the control of two rivers for ten miles. It can be said that with this document, he is the legitimate ruler of Porter Village, and he has an absolute advantage in terms of reason. Although it will depend on who has the harder fist in the end, as Morton is the party in the wrong, he will also bear more costs and pressure in this war. And this pressure will accumulate over time.

Therefore, he could have held on to this document and waited until the fall, until Aeron and Henry became weak and had to withdraw. However, this became impossible when Aeron threatened Jim's life.

Arya's first reaction after seeing the severed finger was anger. She was not even angry at Aeron's despicable behavior, but at Jim's stupidity.

"He shouldn't have gone to Porter Village alone!" she said angrily, "Especially after he killed one of our guards!"

Carl didn't say anything, just waved his hand. Alia was right, but now that things had happened, it was meaningless to review Jim's mistakes. The problem was what to do next.

He heard Arya continue to yell:

"This is his fault. I think we should stop interfering. But..." Then she changed the subject and said, "You will definitely not agree with such a suggestion."

Carl nodded. To be honest, Jim had indeed caused himself a big trouble this time. This idiot trusted others too much and ignored the darkness in human nature, and finally paid the price for it. But even he did not intend to watch him die. On the one hand, it was the relationship between the two, and on the other hand, it was to let everyone see that he would never abandon his followers. But then again, although people need to be saved, fighting is absolutely not allowed, at least in the current situation. Not only can't win, but there is no money to fight. The problem is how to save Jim without starting a war. He needs a breakthrough. Iren is definitely not good enough. This person's style and code of conduct are gang-like, and he mainly uses any means necessary. Henry is a typical old aristocratic gentleman and believes in chivalry.

"The question is, how could Henry let Aeron do this?" Carl asked.

"He probably wouldn't agree, but he's also powerless to stop it." Alia replied, "The two of them are now one in the west and one in the east, basically not interfering with each other."

"That is to say, once something happens in the other party's camp, the other party will not be able to know it immediately?" Carl asked.

"You could say that," said Alia. "I even heard that Henry himself was opposed to this action."

Karl nodded again, exhaled lightly, thought for a moment and suddenly said:

"Send me some paperwork to tell Henry I intend to visit him."

"Visit?" Alia looked confused. She was a little unsure of what Carl meant by the word.

"Yes," Carl said, nodding again, "to his camp, alone."

"What? Are you crazy?" Arya almost screamed. "We are at war now!"

"So what?" Carl asked, tilting his head.

"If he had just grabbed you..." Alia continued.

"And then?" Carl asked again, "What will happen if he catches me?"

"What can we do? If the lord is captured, we lose!" Arya shouted.

Carl looked puzzled:

"Lose? We can't even send out soldiers, how can we talk about winning or losing?"

"This..." This choked Alia so much that she was speechless for a moment.

"So what's the point of him arresting me?" Carl continued, "Ask me for the Porter Village? But the Porter Village has long been under their control. Or... just kill me and seize Rickburg?"

At this point, Carlton paused and thought about it carefully. It's not impossible, but he had just defeated the Great Khan and became a hero of the whole kingdom. He was also a baron appointed by the king himself. If he was killed by Morton at this time and took away Rickburg, it would not be his own business. This would be a slap in the face of the king. Prime Minister Aaron, King Philip, and even the entire central court would make trouble for Morton. So even if Morton really wanted to kill him and rob Rickburg, he would not act so quickly. So, in general, even if he was detained, the risk was very small. In the final analysis, there was only one reason. Now he was penniless and had no chips on him. It didn't matter whether he was caught or not. This was the so-called barefoot was not afraid of wearing shoes.

Well, since the risk is not big, it is worth a try, and in fact he has too many options. Either sacrifice Jim or take the risk, but in the end he still chooses to take the risk himself.

However, Alia still disagreed and said:

"You are always right, and I can't argue with you. But this is not right. Some things just don't make sense just because they make sense."

Alia is right. Some things are not just reasonable. Many things and accidents are hard to predict. The world is often unreasonable. But...

"Alia, we don't have many choices." Carl said earnestly, "We can't afford to fight this war, and we can't win it..."

If we only consider the strength comparison, Porter Village is doomed to be lost. If you think in this way, then it doesn't matter what you do.

"So we just have to gamble," he continued.

"Bet?" Alia looked confused again.

"That's right, I'm betting on Henry's character." Carl added, "I'm betting on how accurate I am in judging people during the days I've been in contact with him!"

"Even if you bet right, so what? Henry is a man who abides by the code of chivalry. So what? Jim is being held captive by Aeron, and Henry has no control over the matter. And given his character, he will not withdraw his troops even if he objects. He will still obey the lord's orders and continue to fight us. What can you talk to him about?!"

At this moment, Carl showed his confident smile again:

"It doesn't matter what I talked to him about, what matters is that I met him."

"what?"

"Believe me, as long as this meeting goes well, we have a chance of winning," Carl continued.

"What about Aeron? How can you ensure that Aeron won't cause any trouble?" Alia said seriously.

"I need your help at this time~" Carl said as he patted the girl's shoulders.
