Although many nobles and officials died in the capital of Tyran, the important officials of the Tyran Kingdom were not wiped out. Most of them were stranded in Baiyan City because of the war breaking out with the Holy Gunter Kingdom.

Ebleson did not forget about this matter, so he mentioned it with David during the meal.

In addition, he was also worried about the situation in Baiyan City.

King Tyran became a ruin, and all the people in the city died. After the news reached Baiyan City, Ebrson was not sure what the ministers and nobles would react.

But no matter how you look at it, Baiyan City seems to be unable to defend it. Even if Count Sutton Stewart is still loyal to the Kingdom of Tyran, he can still control the army of the Tyran Knights, the Knights of Guards, and the Infantry Corps at hand. This kind of thing will also cause a devastating blow to the morale of the army.

Now Ebleson is no longer worried about whether the border can be defended and whether the southern territory will be occupied by the Holy Gunter Kingdom. He doesn't even care about the ministers and nobles. The only thing he is worried about is his daughter, and he is worried about the Earl of Sutton Stewart.

"This is not a difficult task. I ask Gareth to take a team of Winter Knights to Baiyan City to see the situation. If the situation is critical, I will also take them to Winter City."

So Gareth took a temporary mission and took a small team of Winter Knights to the south.

Seeing David sending someone to protect his daughter, Ebrson took the opportunity to mention another thing: "What are you going to arrange for the knights and soldiers who come to Winter City together?"

"I have ordered Gareth and Floyd to reorganize other soldiers except the Knights of Tyran and the Knights of the Guards, and those who perform well will become soldiers of Winter City."

David's answer was very direct. Now that Ebrson had clearly expressed his attitude, David was not ready to be polite to him: "As for the Knights of Tyran and the Knights of Guards..."

Ebrson understood David's meaning, and the other party asked him, he respected him enough, so he expressed his opinion very happily: "Let's reorganize together!"

He understood the current situation very well. He was the king who was only left with a false name, power, and the army was of no use to him now. Leaving all of them to David was the best choice.

"In this case, why not keep the number of the Knights of the Tyran and reorganize all the Knights of the Guards into the Knights of the Tyran?" David felt a little embarrassed when Ebrson showed so much pleasure.

The entire population of the Tyran capital was packaged and accepted, and the king also rebelled back together, and even the other's Ace Knights and Guards were incorporated.

Before he knew it, he seemed to have done something similar to a prime minister. Can he do a lot of things in the name of the Kingdom of Tilan in the future?

Things are going on quite the same as David thought.

Ebrson directly took out the pre-written appointment letter and named David Glamorgan the Grand Duke of Winter, and his territory included the entire northern plains.

The territory of the Grand Duke of Winter David Glamorgan is a completely independent principality, only nominally part of the Kingdom of Tiran.

As Ebrson personally handed the appointment letter to David, even if the Grand Duke of Winter officially took office, an announcement will be issued to spread the news to the entire Kingdom of Thiran.

Another order and announcement was issued at the same time: King Thiran was seriously damaged by conspiracy attacks from the temple, and His Majesty the King had to go to Winter City in the north to "residence" and Winter City was the temporary capital of the Kingdom of Thiran.

Due to the conspiracy of the temple, His Majesty the King was in a state of illness and could not handle government affairs and military affairs. David Glamorgan, the Grand Duke of Winter, fully represented His Majesty the King in handling all military affairs in the Kingdom of Tiran.

With several orders and announcements, David had become the de facto ruler of the Kingdom of Thiran, besides not being crowned as king.

David also accepted Ebleson's series of appointments with ease. With a meal, his identity changed drastically, and even he was a little confused.

It was not until he returned to his office in Fort Glamorgan that he gradually understood.

Ebrson understood that the Kingdom of Tiran could not have been reborn, and he could not have taken power in Winter City. He led the army of Winter City back to the former site of the royal capital and rebuilt a new city.

More importantly, he knew that his direct army could not defeat the Winter Knights, and even the Knights of the Thiran Knights and the Knights of the Guards could not fight for him anymore.

They had been killed once by the Knights of Winter and knew they were no match for them.

What's more, these nearly 100,000 people were resurrected by David, and these people's impression of David was many times better than that of him, the king.

Let these people choose, they will definitely choose David instead of themselves.

Since that's the case, it's better to take advantage of his false reputation and arrange everything that can be arranged first. Ebrson no longer even urges David and Sophia to get married early. He doesn't think that a special existence like David can be bound by a marriage.

Therefore, it no longer matters whether to marry his daughter. Even if David immediately wants the king today, Ebrson can write abdication documents immediately.

In fact, it is almost the same now. Winter City has become the Duchy of Winter, and has gained absolute independence and autonomy in terms of law and will be recognized by all forces on the mainland.

The Duchy of Winter can be changed to the Kingdom of Winter at any time in the future, and it all depends on when David wants to wear the crown.

He was quietly recuperating in Winter City. For Sophia's sake, David should not treat him badly. He might have the chance to see the day when the Holy Gunter Kingdom and the Temple were completely destroyed by Winter City.

"So, you are Duke of Winter now?"

Listening to David finishing the matter, Laura is still reading these appointment documents.

Although they are all appointments and announcements issued in the name of King Tyran, the specific sending and posting must be done by the people of Winter City themselves.

So although David was promoted to the Grand Duke and Winter City became the Duchy of Winter, this incident always reveals a strange smell.

"It feels like you coerce the king and then force the appointments under the king."

"..." David wanted to say that he had a similar feeling, but he could not admit it, and waved his hand and said, "You're thinking too much!"

"Anyway, congratulations!" Laura put the appointment letter in her hand back on David's desk: "It's one step closer to your goal, and it's a very critical step."

Laura originally thought that it would take David several years to reach this level. Even so, it would not be easy to take this step in the end, and it might be accompanied by continuous wars to succeed.

Unexpectedly, by chance, I took the most important step so easily.

Principality! The transformation of a primitive state into a kingdom is David's thought. In this case, the Kingdom of Tyran will no longer attack David's Winter City.

However, Laura felt that it would be better to keep Winter City in a principality attitude for a period of time.

Because using the Duchy of Winter as an excessive amount of time, it can well accept the "legacy" of the Kingdom of Thiran, which is much more reliable than directly claiming to build a country.

After all, the sign of the Kingdom of Tyran has been established for hundreds of years, and people living on this land recognize it. When the entire Kingdom of Tyran fell into a state of war, the people of Tyran would habitually escape into other territories of the Kingdom of Tyran instead of running abroad directly.

In this case, the Duchy of Winter, which is still affiliated with the Kingdom of Thiran, can receive more people. After receiving populations from all over the Kingdom of Thiran, it can expand the territory of the Duchy of Winter into other regions under the banner of regaining the land that originally belonged to them for the people.

Not only is it irrefutable in terms of law, this kind of expansion can also gain absolute support from its own people. By then, it will be natural to change it to the kingdom.

"By the way." Laura originally wanted to leave and do her own thing because she knew that David must have a lot to deal with next, but before leaving, she suddenly remembered: "Does your abilities be improved again?"

"It should be!"

From the Earl to the Grand Duke, the territory has also become the Duke of Winter City. His golden finger will definitely be upgraded. I don’t know what changes will happen this time.

"I'll watch and test it later."

Let’s not talk about anything else, the output of the crystal ore and the energy it contains may usher in another round of enhancement. Even if there are no other changes, this alone is enough to satisfy David.

Seeing Laura leave, David originally wanted to ask Eva to deal with the announcement, but he didn't expect Edwin Van Cliff to come to him. There must be something important to him when he finds him, so David had to put the announcement aside.

"What's wrong?"

"About the confession of that Rains missionary."

"So fast?"

After returning to Winter City, David ordered the intelligence department to arrest the missionary Reins and screened those who had contact with the missionary Reins to find the spies sent by the temple.

The arrest went smoothly, and David didn't need to care too much about this kind of thing. He just waited quietly for the interrogation result.

Unexpectedly, it was over the next day? He thought that the missionary from the temple could last for ten days and half a month!

Speaking of this, Edwin Van Cliff also acted strangely: "The missionary from the temple may... probably... have turned against his original belief."

"What's the meaning?"

"This Rains missionary seems to be ready to believe in the Holy Light."

“…”

"So after we arrested him, we did not use any punishment at all. Basically, he would answer all the questions we asked happily."

Listening to Edwin Van Cliff's report, David didn't know how to evaluate the missionary, so he could only ask carefully: "Is it possible? He acted like this on purpose to truly break into the interior of Winter City?"

"This possibility is not ruled out."
