In August of the 19767th year of the Bauhinia, the "Lion King Castle" was the Baron's Mansion.

After the return of "Mopan Castle", the deeds of the Baron immediately spread throughout the city. "Oriental Martial Arts" not only possessed martial arts, but also became a "white-robed mage", easily defeating the "gray-robed warrior" and the joint attack of the "gray-robed mage".

The news pushed the prestige of the Oriental Family to the peak. Many guards and bureaucrats originally had a good relationship with the Qiu family or the Silva family, but now they turned around and joined the Oriental Family camp wholeheartedly.

If the "gray-robed monk" is more than enough to support the "Lion King Castle", then the achievements of the "white-robed monk" will never be limited to the baron. The expansion and rise of the Oriental family are almost in front of us.

Some people even spread news that the Baron had hidden his strength. He was actually not a "gray-robed monk", but a "white-robed monk". In the Nalan world, the "white-robed monk" has entered the middle and upper level, and is often a strong man who dominates the country. Many people and merchants believe this, and many nearby villages announced that they are protected by the "Lion King Castle".

Many nobles and tycoons have already found Molan and Qiu Zhixi around the bush and asked when the Baron Oriental would hold a cocktail party and festival banquet, so that they could bring their daughters to attend. Everyone was blunt, just to marry the Dongfang family. Most merchants did not have enough status, so they wanted to use the "mistress" method.

Correspondingly, the family is increasingly awe of "Dongfang Wu". Dongfang Qiming has few relatives left by him, and he dare not even look up in front of the Baron's Pavilion. A few of them are promoted and reused by the Baron's Palace, and more useless people are removed and eliminated, so they can only eat a bite of idle meal in the "Lion King Castle".

The city was full of joy and discussion, which did not affect the operation of the Baron's Mansion at all. At this moment, Jinghua, Moran, Qiu Zhixi, Ivan, Jacob, Betsy and Shaquill sat in the main hall to discuss many matters in the territory.

The seven people are now at the highest level of the "Lion King Castle". Moran, Qiu Zhixi, Ivan and Jacob are old men. Becky was originally the commander of the guards of the Silva family. After "Blade City" changed hands, he transferred to the "Lion King Castle". Shaquille was the newly joined "Gray-robed warrior" and came to join him in the name of "White-robed mage".

The baron nobles were not very attractive to the "Gray-robed Warrior". Shaquille was extremely powerful and would not have been wasted time in the "Lion King Castle". He was bald and square, and had a big ox and a big body, and had a body like black charcoal. He turned out to wander in the "Yongyuan Dirt" to seek treasure. After suffering a few losses, he found that it was very dangerous to be alone and lonely, so he returned to Xique to look for another opportunity.

When Shaquille heard that the Baron of the "Lion King Castle" was a "white robe mage", Shaquill immediately rushed over excitedly. With the mage behind him, the chance of survival of the warriors will be greatly improved. Being a minion for advanced mages is one of the shortcuts for warriors to improve combat power. At the same time, mages need warriors, and knights serve as barriers, which is a win-win choice.

After Shaquill entered the fort, he went directly to the Baron's Mansion and asked the "white robe mage" to show his strength to facilitate the future "cooperation" between the two sides. As a result, Jing Hua took him to a place where no one was, and gave him a lesson.

The "Gray-robed Warrior" was beaten to the point of a bruised face, but he felt a vague sign of a breakthrough. Therefore, Shaquill stayed honestly and acted as a sermon of the castle master. The rumor that "the Baron hides his strength" was spread from him.

Jing Hua basically ignored political affairs. Under the leadership of Moran, the Adler family governed their territory in an orderly manner. A few days ago, they took over "Iron City" from the Gothic family. Old Werner took the reputation of "White Robe Mage" and did not use any tricks.

At this point, the "Lion King Castle" actually controlled three cities, and the "Cuiwei City" was still in the hands of the Qiu family. Qiu Zhixi personally rushed to her parents' home to persuade him. In addition, the Qiu family's strength has declined, so he is respectful to the "Lion King Castle" and will respond to all requests. The four cities are currently in good cooperation.

The candles were brightly lit in the hall, and everyone was discussing two major events.

First of all, the military expansion of the "Lion King Fort". The Dongfang family obtained the tax exemption rights of "Merpan Fort", and the trade income increased significantly. In addition, the population in the territory increased, the number of guards was slightly insufficient.

In this regard, Moran proposed the goal of "three hundred elite soldiers" and brought the strength of the "Lion King Castle" to a higher level. In fact, with the financial resources of the Adler family, it may not be impossible to bear more. However, the well-trained professional army has far better combat power than the miscellaneous soldiers and farmers. Moran proposed the "elite soldiers" policy, which did not affect taxes and farming as much as possible, and was approved by the majority.

Jing Hua was happy to see this. He ordered Ivan to select guards and hand over the potential and qualified members to Shaquill for unified training. If Shaquill wanted to get the "instructions" from the Baron, he could only train the younger generations first.

The second thing is more sensitive, and neither Molan nor Qiu Zhixi made any statement.

There were two letters on the table, from the third prince White and the Marquis of Siddra Tywin Rotrek. The letters were all promoted to Dongfangwu as viscount, but the meanings were very different.

The third prince awarded the viscount of the "Lion King Castle", which governed the vast areas north of the "Lion King Castle", including "Blade City", "Cuiwei City" and "Teimu City". His Highness White did not even strictly limit the scope of the fiefdom in order to show his "sincerity".

Marquis Tywin awarded the "Vissue of the Lake" and governed areas south of the "Lion King Castle", including "Mopan Castle", "Swan City", etc. They all belonged to the Sallasal family, and their current ownership was very subtle. As for "Blade City", "Iron Wood City", etc., the Marquis did not mention it in the letter.

In the Nalan world, titles are not fixed. If you gain outstanding military achievements, outstanding political achievements or are particularly favored by the emperor and nobles, you can obtain, be promoted to a high-ranking title, or also receive a new title.

In addition, marriage between nobles is also a good opportunity to obtain and improve their titles. Of course, if the family is weak and cannot make ends meet, or if it offends the emperor or nobles, and is defeated by the enemy, the fiefdom inheritance will naturally be cut off.

Viscount has a low status in the aristocratic system. In theory, both the marquis and the prince can give it to it. However, the scope of jurisdiction is very sensitive. The aristocrats have the right to arbitrate within the fiefdom, which has a great impact on all matters. Therefore, the enthroned territory must be a land of unlimited land or the scope of management of the higher-level nobles themselves, and they will give up part of the right to arbitrate.

From the perspective of territory, the enthronement of Marquis Tywin is more "legal" because near "Lake Killarney" was originally his jurisdiction. His Highness White was the prince, but his direct territory in Xiche was very small, which had nothing to do with "Lion King Castle".

Moran put down the letter and said hesitantly: "It seems more legitimate to accept the enthronement of Lord Tywin. But the ownership of 'Blade City' and 'Temu City' is not decided. Even if we don't hand it over, we will not be able to expand northward in the short term..."

Qiu Zhixi continued: "You can accept the 'good intention' of the prince. Not only will he offend Marquis Tywin, but he will also be questioned by most nobles in Xiche. After all, this is not a royal fiefdom, and His Highness White's decision may not be effective."

The rise of the "Lion King Castle" is a good thing, but opportunities often coexist with risks. The royal family and nobles, and the direction of their surrender are related to survival, rise and fall. Moran and others dare not say much, so they can only leave it to your Viscount to decide.

Seeing that things were almost done, Jing Hua directly issued an order.

"Your Highness, who abides by Chen Nuo, not only exempts the taxes of the caravans in the fort, but also gives the title of viscount. Therefore, I decided to accept his title and become the "Vissue of the Lion King Castle". As for the fiefdom in the north, as long as they surrender, the "Lion King Castle" will not refuse anyone to accept it, and then accept it first."
