Mele, a baron leader located at the junction of the Federation of Almany and the Principality of Brittany, has a population of about the same as a village, but it is a size of seven or eight villages. Due to the insufficient population, most of the land has not been reclaimed and was abandoned, turning into grasslands and bushes, where hares, foxes, various birds, as well as wolves and deer.

"I will give you this land, and from then on, you will be the lord here, baron."

The Earl of France took the sword handed over by the knight kneeling in front, patted him on his left and right shoulders, and then returned the sword to the knight. Behind the knight there was a smiling girl kneeling together. She was the fiancée of the knight, and her figure was about the Princess Navarra. Because of this, the knight customized clothes for him solved Princess Navarra's urgent need. The Earl of France gave the title and land to this knight.

"If you develop it well, this land is very valuable. It is located on the border, so you are given the privileges of the border area. All the income of the territory belongs to you personally, and you do not have to pay taxes to me, but you must use these funds to do a good job of defense and help the Federation resist the invasion of the enemy. According to the laws of the Almani Federation, you personally serve me in the military for 55 days a year. If there is no military operation in that year, it will be automatically invalidated and does not need to accumulate until the following year. The territory is still in the development stage, and you only need to bring me an additional three knights when serving. But after three years, the number will increase to eight. If the number is insufficient or you personally do not want to serve, you need to pay extra taxes to me so that I can hire professional mercenaries. Do you understand?"

"It is the duty of the noble to fight for the lord." The knight placed his fist on his chest, "From then, I swear to fight for you."

"Isn't the Principal of Brittany our ally?" Hongdao asked Baigong in a low voice, "Are the privileges of the border areas generally given to lords who are adjacent to neighboring countries with bad relations? The borders adjacent to allies are also considered border areas?"

"What do you know? The territory of the Duke of Aquitaine is to the south of Molai, and it is the lord who poses the greatest threat to the consul." Bai Gong gave the red knife a blank look, "Using the excuse of the Principal of Brittany to give privileges to the border areas, in fact, the Duke of Aquitaine is guarding against."

"So that's it." Hongdao nodded, as if he understood.

The ceremony was completed, and the knight's fiancee smiled and helped him up. Not long ago, he was still a landless knight, but now he has become a lord with territory, which can be said to have made great achievements. If the Count of Ile de France and his group were present, the two of them would have been excitedly kissed each other.

"I have never sent anyone to take care of this territory. There may be a thief nest in the mountains and fields. You'd better send someone to patrol and clean up." The Earl of Ile-de-France said, "You have just arrived here and have not yet established a firm foothold. If necessary, the people I brought can lend you for three days. Of course, you have to provide the commission for food and accommodation, how about it?"

The knight rubbed his hands excitedly: "That's great, thank you Lord Carolin!"

"The consul would actually think of staying on the border of the Principal of Brittany for three days."

The black balance whistled meaningfully, but was rolled by the Earl of Ile de France.

Although the Earl of Ile-de-France said that no one had ever taken care of here, as a baron under his jurisdiction, there was still a ready-made mansion prepared for the visit of the lord. After a little cleaning, you could move in.

The next day, the Earl of France took the newly promoted Baron Mole on patrol. Although he only brought thirty-six people, and he and Baron Mole only had thirty-eight, there were thirty-eight elite cavalry, including Red Knife and White Bow. Ma Chen raised his head and didn't dare to get close to him without four or five hundred people.

Yesterday, they had found out from the leaders that there was indeed a nest of thieves here, but they did not know the stronghold. The Count of Ile-de-France analyzed that the thieves were most likely to be active near the commercial road, so they were patrolling along the commercial road.

However, although it is a commercial road, it looks very deserted at first glance. The ground is full of untreated weeds and thorny thorns.

"Merai is not big, but it is a major transportation route for Brittany in the west, Paris in the east, and Duke of Aquitaine in the south." The Earl of France introduced to Baronai, "I have never had the energy to take care of this place, so it is a bit deserted. If you manage it well and make it prosperous, you should be able to attract many caravans to pass through here."

As they said that, they saw a caravan coming from a distance. Seeing the Count of Ile de France and his party, they stopped cautiously. The caravan's escort took up their weapons and surrounded the goods.

"Don't be afraid!" Bai Gong shouted from afar, "This is the new local lord! We are patrolling, looking for local thieves!"

He did not report the name of the Count of Ile de France because it was unnecessary.

The caravan then let go of his guard. They first knelt on the ground, and then took out honey water to entertain the Count of Ile de France and his group.

"It's great that Molei has a lord to take office." They said around the newly promoted Baron Molei, "This place was originally under the jurisdiction of the Count of Ile de France, and that idiot didn't care about it at all, causing more and more thieves, and the caravans have changed their course."

"Then why are you still taking the land?" the Count of Ile de France next to him asked unhappily.

"You sir, you don't know that a monster appeared on the West. Its real body is a moving island, attacking ships everywhere, and even directly attacked the port of Bordeaux a few days ago! No caravan dared to walk through the West. In comparison, although there were thieves on this road, it was just a problem of hiring more mercenaries, which was much safer."

"Ah, it was the monster that night."

The Count of Ile de France beat him up. He was quite happy to hear that he was attacked by Bordeaux, the Duke of Aquitaine.

"The Duke had evacuated the port in advance, so there were no casualties. It was just that several chambers of commerce lost some goods."

"No casualties, just lost the goods?" Hei Tianping questioned, "What you said is not like being attacked by a monster, but more like being thieves."

The leader of the caravan looked left and right mysteriously, then lowered his voice and said, "To be honest, it is rumored that someone saw a group of demons and human figures running down from the back of the island. They robbed Bordeaux. I guess, maybe these demons are the real masterminds, and that island is just a pet that they tamed. Just like we humans sailing on the sea with ships, these demons use the island to sail on the sea!"

"A human-shaped demon? And can he rob and rob on land?"

The Count of Ile de France frowned. If the rumors were true, it would not only be the coastal territory that would be attacked, and he could not ignore it.

"What do these demons look like?"

"Most of us are basically the same as us, but their skin is dark, as dark as the carbon that runs out of the fire. It is a color that has been burned by the fire of hell. There is no doubt that they came from hell."

The leader of the caravan described his hearings clearly.
