Chapter 280 Ratched’s suicide note and restoration of the kingdom

At Shalin Castle, Alison stood there for a long time looking at the disappearing assassin. The world was not safe anywhere. She had just come back, and someone was thinking about her.

If the other party didn't have that cursed object, it would basically be overturned.

She glanced at the night sky, stretched out her hand and released the seven supervisors. For a moment, the puppets were walking and pigeons were flying around, radiating from the hut to the surrounding areas. She wanted to monitor the entire sand forest territory and prevent the enemy from approaching.

After doing all this, Alison returned to the wooden house to rest. However, the current matter was not over. When the person was not there, everything stopped. When the person was there, everything happened.

In addition to Sean sending a telegram to the empire, many people in the entire earldom knew about Alison's return.

Especially in the Earl's Castle where a businessman sent a message, a group of knights who were standing there couldn't sit still after hearing the news. If the businessman hadn't told the welcome banquet that this time had been mentioned and rejected, there might have been more than one who came during the night.

Sean.

"This kind of thing must be successful once and for all. The little girl is young and doesn't know the benefits of money and power. We can do it justice and be reasonable."

Just when Alison returned to the cabin to rest, the president of the local merchants guild looked at the planners sitting around.

"We merchants value our trust." The president asked solemnly, "I wonder if the earl's letter seal is still there?"

"Is this okay?" A group of knights were shocked when they heard this.

"If anything bad happens, you can blame it on me." The president of the Chamber of Commerce promised.

"Okay!" A group of knights and merchants cheered excitedly.

So on the morning of the fourth day after Alison returned to Salinburg, Alison, who had just finished breakfast, came to the castle to summon the Earl at the invitation of Veronie, Salin, Goethe Knight, and small town businessmen.

Distant relatives and a group of personal guards.

In the Baron's conference room, when Alison sat on the throne, nearly a hundred knights and knights' retinues were seen kneeling on the ground. They saluted Alison, and the leader of the chamber of commerce, the president, was prostrate on the ground.

, and gave a big salute to Alison.

"Lord Viscount, I hope you will come back!"

The president of the Chamber of Commerce looked like he was crying and excited, while Alison looked serious, looking at him and gesturing for him to continue.

Seeing this, the president of the Chamber of Commerce nodded, raised his hands and gestured, "Last year, Your Highness, you couldn't bear to go to war with the royal capital and bring disaster to the people, so you didn't object to their establishment of a ruling house. Who would have thought that Adili actually made the people's livelihood miserable?

The urban and rural system is simply not in line with our national conditions, especially in the earldom, where even business has been severely damaged!"

"If things go on like this, the general will lose his country. Only if you, Your Highness the Viscount, take control of the situation in the Earl of Ratched, can all the people be saved."

The president of the Chamber of Commerce kowtowed as he spoke, looking up at Alison's expression for a moment.

Alison raised her eyebrows at this time. She looked at the chamber president and a group of knights below. If the armors they were wearing were not real, Alison would have thought they were hired by people from Salinburg.

But even if it was true, Alison didn't want to go into this muddy water.

"My territory is quite small, and I have no reason to send troops. I cannot take on such a big responsibility." Alison shook her head slightly.

Upon hearing this, the Chamber of Commerce President immediately shouted, "Although your territory is small, there are many knights. In the past, the ancestors of the Earl of Ratched also relied on force to rule this place. And it is not without reason. When the Earl left, he left a suicide note."

"Huh?" Alison was stunned when she heard this. There was a suicide note or something. It seems that Earl Ratched is not dead yet.

Hearing Alison's question, the Chamber of Commerce President immediately looked behind him and saw the count's knight standing up, taking out the letter from his arms and respectfully delivering it to Alison's hand.

Alison took the letter and saw that it was a personal letter written in the count's voice.

"This is Baron Alison. I have no children and no distant relatives. I am afraid that I will never come back when I go to the royal capital this time."

"I can't bear to have my ancestors' hundreds of years of foundation ruined by villains, so I specially appointed Alison."

"Do what a lord can do, and Rachel will bleed."

Alison was shocked when she saw the contents of the letter, not because the handwriting looked very similar, but because the knights below would do anything for profit.

The earl lived far away from the royal capital, so they sold his territory.

If the earl knew about this, he would probably be angry to death given his big heart.

When he was in trouble, he didn't help, and he directly betrayed him.

Alison, who was holding the letter, blinked, this is human nature.

Seeing that Alison still didn't express her position after seeing the letter, the Chamber of Commerce president couldn't help but look at Baron Salin aside, "Baron, your territory is so small, can you support Alison's soldiers?"

"To be fair, I can't afford it." Baron Salin said this fact out loud.

"I feel the same way." The Chamber of Commerce President sighed, and then looked at Alison, "Lord Viscount, can you fulfill the Earl's wish?"

Alison heard the words and looked at the Chamber of Commerce President. The latter suddenly became excited. He felt like a frog being stared at by a snake. In just a few seconds, he was suppressed by an invisible pressure and couldn't breathe.

Lord Viscount knows that the letter is fake!

The president of the Chamber of Commerce was sweating on his forehead and was about to admit his mistake, but at this moment his momentum suddenly relaxed.

"In that case, I'll just do it!" Alison folded the letter and looked at the leader of the Templar Knights present.

"Captain."

"My subordinate is here!"

"Lead three thousand knights and disarm all foreign armed forces and disobedient people in the earl territory. No redemption is allowed for prisoners and they are allowed to work for the territory."

"Understood." Upon hearing this, the group leader immediately stood up and took action.

Seeing this, Alison nodded slightly, then looked at the knights and businessmen below, "Are you satisfied?"

Everyone present saw Alison taking action, and everyone became excited.

"Long live Lady Allison!"

So he knelt down and cheered.

In order to avoid losing knights in scattered attacks, the leader of the Templar Knights led his men to attack one by one. The core knights under many viscounts were not many, mostly around 30 to 100 people, plus temporarily enslaved townspeople.

Only a thousand people fled immediately after seeing the Knights Templar. Those who could not escape became prisoners.

In three days, fireworks were everywhere in Ratched. The knights worked non-stop to recover the entire territory of Ratched. They were even petitioned by several neighboring towns outside the earl territory to expand their territory.

On the way, the knights were blocked by four policemen from the city, but the leader dismissed them all as it was not an abnormal incident and they had no right to interfere.

"It's really a phenomenon we haven't witnessed in twenty years." The head of the Investigation Bureau looked at the Templar Knights whizzing past the city and couldn't help but scolded,

"Don't think that you'll be fine because we don't have the right to manage this kind of thing. I think the kingdom's letter of questioning will be here soon. It'll be up to you how you end it."

The knights had thought about the fact that the escaped viscount went to the royal capital to complain, but they did not bother to pursue it. After all, such a major event could not be hidden after the restoration of the county.

"These things are not yours to worry about. Let me ask you, when the earl arrives in Neckarson tomorrow, every house will have a badge and flag. Have you bought it?" A knight looked at the person in charge of the Neckarson Investigation Bureau and asked.

.

The person in charge's mouth twitched when he heard this. Although Nekason is the location of the Fourth Bureau, the business has also been affected. Many closed flag stores have just opened, but the supply exceeds the demand for a while.

"You don't need to worry about it." The person in charge hummed.

On the morning of the ninth day after Alison came back, it was still dark.

Under the exquisite dress of the servants, Alison was smeared with a thick layer of spices, put on a tight-fitting coat and an iron crown inlaid with rubies, and left Salim Castle, escorted by twenty knights in shining armor.

, heading to Neckarson City.

Today is the day she takes the throne.

She just wanted to let the Templars who were less than five thousand people have food to eat, but she didn't expect it to be so troublesome.

However, Adili sent too many officials to various small towns, and many decrees could not be issued unless they were separated from the Consulate.

At dawn, the gate of Neckarson City had already opened. Alison's carriage walked in, and saw citizens on both sides of the road greeting her. Many people even made a tulip flag made of paper to welcome her.

"Long live Earl Alison!"

"Long live Earl Alison!"

The citizens on both sides of the road cheered loudly, with a hint of sincerity in their voices. It was not clear whether it was because they had driven away the viscounts to open warehouses to store grain, or because the price of bread had dropped later.

When the carriage arrived at the city hall, Alison got off the carriage and saw a group of officials from the old department gathered around, waiting to see her.

"Your Majesty, the Grand Duke's policies are very good, but the tax exemption thing is messed up. The town system has promoted the prosperity of the territory's commerce. You must not entrust the territory to the knights!"

A group of officials spoke their minds, but were quickly blocked by a group of knights.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If there were no barons stationed in each town, how could those viscounts be wreaking havoc here?" Several knights were so angry that they wanted to beat someone.

"Now that Lord Alison is here, that situation will never happen again." The officials were dissatisfied.

"Do you want to die?" The knights drew their swords directly.

Before driving away the tax-free viscount, they had the same goal. Now that their goal is achieved, they each have their own plans.

Seeing that they were about to fight, and the surrounding citizens were watching the fun, Alison covered her forehead slightly, and then said loudly, "Captain, help me keep an eye on it. If someone starts fighting later, tie him to the stage and use it as a torch to set off the fight."

atmosphere."

"Understood." The leader agreed quickly, and then stared at the officials and knights, causing both parties to move involuntarily.

The packhorse found the hunter and drove away the wild boar, but it became a mount forever.

Alison entered the city hall after giving instructions. She was not in the habit of giving people psychological support.

Her succession ceremony is still waiting for her, she just hopes it will end soon.
