Looking around, he saw that no one answered, and in the end, Count Longen could only 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 when they heard this, their eyes immediately looked at Chi Nan with envy. Some people are triumphant, and some people who don't take Chi Nan very seriously regret it.

If you knew this, you should have a good relationship, an earl, a newborn earl, this is not a good thing at all times. It is a great benefit to be a henchman of an earl.

Chi Nan bowed slightly: "I'm just a baron now, and what happens in the future depends on the meaning of those adults above." "After all, it's not really certain, and there's still a lot of uncertainty. Although Chi Nan was happy, he didn't want to be used as a gunman, which was not a pleasant thing, so Chi Nan behaved very plainly.

"It's true that it's not time to reward meritorious deeds, but Baron Chinan, as far as I know, you have 20,000 troops under your command. Moreover, the territory is strong, and it can pull up more than 50,000 soldiers at any time. ”

This number has reached the standard of the counts, and it is stronger than many counts with poor strength. "And your territory weapons aren't bad, whether they're plant weapons or weapons made of red sand steel. ”

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

Chi Nan nodded lightly: "That's right, but I'm not overwhelmed." ”

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

"After the fortress is established, it is a great achievement, and with the killing of the berserkers, it will continue to get credit. "Count Longen is no longer hinting, but seducing and confusing.

Chi Nan spread his hands: "My credit is already very large, so there have been more things recently." ”

If this preface did not match the afterword, Count Longen immediately understood. Chi Nan is talking about them, isn't it just that they are putting pressure on Chi Nan to prevent Chi Nan from continuing to make meritorious contributions. Although these credits are mainly reserved for those small nobles, many of these small nobles are also their juniors, or members of their families.

Chi Nan's words obviously carried some resentment. If you don't let me make meritorious contributions, do you still want to look for me?

Count Longen glared, glaring at the others. In the end, everyone nodded, and Count Longen 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 bear it. This matter has nothing to do with the previous incident. ”

Chi Nan understood, it turned out to be like this. "In that case, then I support the kingdom's decrees, but I have one condition. After all, my territory has just developed, and my strength is still relatively weak, so I have to choose a position. ”

Count Longen was silent for a moment, and finally after thinking about it, he compromised: "You can't choose these four positions, because this is the easiest position to defend, and it has to be handed over to other nobles, because their strength is relatively weak. ”

Now, everyone is nodding. These four positions are very narrow and it is quite easy to defend.

Chi Nan said indifferently: "Of course, I won't choose these, what I want is this place." It's close to the forest, and my abilities are related to plants, so it's best for me to defend here. ”

Count Longgen saw that Chi Nan had chosen the easternmost place, which was relatively remote, but it was also the second largest place with the gap, and it was not very easy to defend. Such a hard-boned Chi Nan is next, and that's also a good thing. As for plants and stuff, they don't care about that.

It wasn't the Forest of Death, but it was a different forest that came into contact with the Forest of Death. It's much safer than the Forest of Death, but no one knows anything about it, at least that's how they are.

"Yes, then this place will be left to Your Excellency. Until the fortress is built, we will fully support all the materials you need. Of course, this is also the case everywhere else. ”

With that, Count Longen looked at the others again. "Since you don't take the initiative to come out, then I'll name you. ”

Count Longen himself was a little annoyed: "Under the earl, the four most powerful, no, eight viscounts, you two by two, defend these four easiest places to defend, must be executed." ”

Several people looked at each other, and in the end nothing was said, so they could only shut up. Because who is strong and who is weak, this is clear at a glance, and there is no controversy at all. After all, what is determined here is only military strength, and nothing else.

"For the rest of this place, pick the smallest one, you will defend together, and all the nobles of Remas must participate. I know you're weak, but together you're no worse than us. If you need support in any of these five defensive areas, you must take full responsibility, no problem. ”

"Remember, this is a disaster for the whole of Remas. When our coalition forces withdraw, once a fortress is breached, then the whole of Remas will be trampled by the beastmen, just like this time. ”

Now, the nobles have no one to object, because they have all seen this disaster. Most of the previous lords were left with no one left in their entire family, and they didn't want to be the second group.

"We agree, let's just go with this plan. But if we don't have the strength to do it, then I hope that you will be able to help as well. A nobleman spoke.

Although they are numerous, they are scattered after all, and each person's territory is too small. Adding up to so many people, it's actually equivalent to four counties at most, and that's it.

Count Longgen nodded: "Of course, we are all nobles of Remas, no matter which fortress suffers, it will be all of us who will suffer the disaster at that time." Therefore, we are a unit, and no matter whose fortress has problems, we need the support of others. At this time, everyone was relieved.

It's just that Chi Nan sneered in his heart, although he said so, but how to operate it, there can be a lot of cats in it. But forget it, anyway, they have a powerful weapon in their hands, and none of them dare to really target themselves.
