Rise of the Plants

Looking around, he found that no one answered. In the end, Count Longgen had no choice but to speak in person. "Baron Chinan, your contribution in this war is very great. The royal family and the parliament have decided that you can become the next earl."

Those who didn't know what was going on looked at Chi Nan with envy when they heard this. Some people were complacent, while others who didn't take Chi Nan very seriously were filled with regret.

If I had known this, I should have worked hard to build relationships. A count, a new count, this is not always a good thing. Being able to become a count's confidant is of great benefit.

Chi Nan nodded slightly: "I am just a baron now and what happens in the future depends on the wishes of the adults above." After all, it has not been truly determined, and there is still a lot of uncertainty. Although Chi Nan was happy, he didn't want to be used as a weapon. This was not a pleasant thing, so Chi Nan behaved very calmly.

"It's true that it's not time to reward based on merit, but Baron Chi Nan, as far as I know, you have 20,000 troops under your command. And the territory is so powerful that you can recruit more than 50,000 soldiers at any time."

This number has reached the standards of earls and is stronger than many less powerful earls. "And your territorial weapons are not bad, whether they are plant weapons or weapons made of red sand steel."

Chi Nan's eyes flashed. Sure enough, with the development of Hongsha Ridge, many nobles were staring at him. Needless to say, to be able to get so much information, he must have placed people in his territory. It’s just that there are too many people in the territory, and it is not easy to investigate these things now, and there is even no way to investigate.

Chi Nan nodded lightly: "That's right, but isn't it my strength?"

Chi Nan was implying that according to their ideas, he only brought a hundred soldiers and had not yet gone to the battlefield.

"After establishing the fortress, it is a great achievement, and as you kill the wild orcs, you will continue to get credit." Earl Longgen was no longer hinting, but tempting.

Chi Nan spread his hands: "My contribution has been very great, so I have been busy recently."

Count Longgen immediately understood the inconsistency between the preface and the follower. Chi Nan was talking about them. Aren't they the ones who put pressure on Chi Nan to prevent him from continuing to make meritorious deeds? Although these credits are mainly reserved for the minor nobles, many of these minor nobles are their descendants and members of their family.

Chi Nan's words were obviously filled with resentment. If you don't let me make meritorious deeds, why are you still looking for me?

Earl Longgen glared and looked at each other with several other people. Finally, everyone nodded, and Count Longgen said: "This is not the same thing at all. This is the responsibility of the entire Remas, and even the entire empire. Since you have the ability, you should take it. This matter is different from the previous matter. It doesn’t matter.”

Chi Nan understood, that was what happened. "In this case, I support the kingdom's decree, but I have a condition. After all, my territory has just developed and is still relatively weak. I have to choose a location."

Earl Longgen was silent for a moment, and finally compromised after thinking about it: "You can't choose these four positions, because these are the easiest positions to defend. They have to be left to other nobles because they are relatively weak."

Now, everyone was nodding. These four positions are very narrow and very easy to defend.

Chi Nan said nonchalantly: "Of course, I won't choose these. What I want is this place. This place is close to the forest, and my ability is related to plants. It is most suitable for me to defend here."

Earl Longgen took a look and found that Chi Nan chose the easternmost place. It was relatively remote, but it was also the place with the second largest gap, and it was a place that was not easy to defend. Such a tough guy Chi Nan is next, which is also a good thing. As for plants and the like, they have nothing to do with that.

That place is not the forest of death, but it is another forest in contact with the forest of death. It is much safer than the Death Forest, but no one knows anything about it, at least they do.

"Okay, then this place will be handed over to you. Before the fortress is established, we will fully support you with all the materials you need. Of course, this is the same in other places."

After saying this, Earl Longgen looked at the others again. "Since none of you come forward, I'll call your name."

Earl Longgen himself was also a little annoyed: "Under the count, the four most powerful, no, eight viscounts, you will join forces in pairs to defend these four easiest-to-defend locations. This must be done."

Several people looked at each other and finally said nothing and could only shut up. Because it is clear at a glance who is strong and who is weak, and there is no dispute at all. After all, what is determined here is only military strength and nothing else.

"In this remaining place, pick the smallest one, and you will jointly defend. All the Remas nobles must participate. I know that your strength is weak, but together you are no worse than us. These five defensive areas, any location If support is needed, you must take full responsibility, there will be no problem."

"You remember, this is a disaster for the entire Remas. Once our coalition forces withdraw, once a fortress is breached, the entire Remas will be trampled by the wild orcs, just like this time."

Now, the nobles had no one to object, because they had all seen this disaster. Most of the previous lords had lost all their families, and they did not want to become the second group.

"We agree to follow this plan. But if our strength is not enough, then I hope that you adults can also help." A noble said.

Although there are many of them, they are a piece of scattered sand after all, and each person's territory is too small. The total number of so many people is actually equivalent to four earldoms at most, nothing more.

Earl Longgen nodded: "Of course, we are all nobles of Remas. No matter which fortress suffers a disaster, all of us will bear the disaster. Therefore, we are a whole, no matter whose If there is a problem in the fortress, support from others is needed." At this time, everyone felt relieved.

Chi Nan just sneered in his heart. Even though he said that, there could be a lot of tricks in how he actually operated it. But forget it, since he has mastered powerful weapons, none of them dare to really target him.
