Chapter 27: Territory

It took about ten days before Yilin led the army to Cap.

Although she had already set out when Alvin hid in the cellar, the movement speed of the army was slower than that of the travelers, especially when crossing the mountains.

Halfway through the way, she had already received news that Alvin had handled everything properly. As for when she arrived at Cap, Alvin had already assumed the responsibility of rebuilding Cap. Although it was still devastated, everything was already in order.

Riding on horseback and walking on the mountain road with a large army, Yilin was stunned. Not only Yilin, but even Yilin's knights, including Halls, Mike, and Pas, were stunned.

They were surprised by the damage caused by this short-term turmoil to Cape. They could hardly see any complete building, with burnt charred eaves and broken walls everywhere. It can be imagined that this was once a purgatory on earth.

I was also surprised that after the turmoil, Karp was in order. People lived in shantytowns, but worked hard. Everyone's face was filled with laughter and politeness.

The wind blew gently, and the farmer who was planting rice seedlings in the rice fields took off his hat and saluted her.

The trees swayed, and the children running by were cheering towards the army.

The woman is busy for lunch, and the elderly sits under the big tree and smokes a pipe.

Although it is broken and in ruins, it is full of vitality everywhere.

I have to say that this is a strange harmony.

Far from afar, the castle finally appeared in Yilin's vision. The castle had already been replaced with the Silver Moon Knights and the flag of the Principal of Besheir.

Alvin was wearing Knight Armor and guarded the castle suspension bridge with George, Matthew, Miller, Sean, and more than a dozen other cavalrymen. His eyes were extremely firm.

Around them, there were also a large number of people coming to watch.

Yilin rode her horse out of the army and came to Elvin step by step, turning over and dismounting.

Alvin saluted respectfully: "Cap welcomes you, My Lord."

"You did a great job, Alvin." Yilin smiled and reached out to support him: "Actually, I just let you take charge of the investigation, but you have solved everything. I even think my arrival is redundant."

"No." Alvin said, looking at the farmland in the distance: "Kap still has a lot to do, a lot of things. I don't even know if I can finish it in this life."

Hearing this sentence, Yilin couldn't help but be stunned and looked at Alvin blankly.

"Well... do I have any problems?" Alvin asked.

"Nothing?" Yilin led the horse and began to walk step by step into the castle, and said with a smile: "I just suddenly felt that you seemed to be different from before."

"Different?" Alvin followed with everyone.

"Yes, when you came, you were very energetic. Um... It's not that you are not energetic now, but there is a sense of calmness in your eyes. I think it's pretty good."

"Is that?" Alvin paused for a moment, and then hurriedly followed.

Soon, Alvin settled Yilin into the room on the top of one of the towers. Yilin's servants began to unload Yilin's carry-on luggage from the carriage and then delivered it to the tower one by one.

While Yilin was checking the room around, Alvin stood aside and reported: "The turmoil has ended, all the rebels have been cleared, and the order has basically been restored. Next..."

Looking out the window, Yilin suddenly asked, "Where is the devil?"

"Demon envoy?" Alvin was stunned for a moment.

"Of course, didn't you say there was a demon envoy?" Yilin turned around and asked, "And I heard that the demon envoy was not dead, where was she?"

"Well... do you want to see her?"

"certainly."

"Okay, wait." Alvin saluted respectfully again.

Instead of taking Yilin to the prison of the castle as expected, he asked Yilin to wait in place.

After a while, Dovna appeared in front of Yilin. She had returned to her original appearance - her long hair wrapped around the back of her head, a slightly round face, and was wearing an orange and yellow casual suit. Her hand cut off by Alvin had also taken it back with the help of Simon. She was like... an ordinary little girl.

Yes, maybe that's the case, it was the case at the beginning.

When I saw her, Yilin was stunned. She looked up and down for a long time before she asked Alvin in a low voice: "Is this the devil?"

"Yes." Alvin nodded: "As you can see, the Demonic may just be a very ordinary child."

"But she is a demon after all, right? You not only let one demon survive, but you didn't even put shackles on her?" Yilin was shocked.

"Dear Duke, Lord Duke." Alvin replied respectfully: "What makes people become demons is not necessarily demons, but also the surrounding environment. She will contribute her life to Cappu to clear the sins she committed. I have already negotiated with her. If she is in shackles, she will not be able to serve the people of Cappu well. I hope that the Duke will forgive and forgive my private decision."

For a moment, Yilin didn't know what to say, so she could only stare at Alvin.

Alvin looked at her.

After a while, Yilin waved her hand and signaled that Dovna could go down.

Dovna respectfully lifted her skirt and saluted, then turned around and left.

As the followers who were carrying things left, the door closed, and only Alvin and Elin were left in the room.

Yilin sat at her desk and looked at Alvin quietly. After a while, she smiled helplessly. She closed her eyes, opened it gently, and said, "You look very much like him."

"Who?" Alvin asked.

"Grey." Elin said softly, holding her cheek, "When you said those words just now, it was like he was standing in front of me. Only he was so naive. I had stopped him before, but later, I found that he was right. So, I don't intend to stop you. You can do it exactly as you wish."

"Thank you." Alvin saluted respectfully again.

Next, Alvin took Elin to inspect the area around the castle.

All the wandering bandits were incorporated by Alvin, and even the mercenaries brought by George were incorporated by Alvin. However, there were not many people in the castle because almost all of them were sent out by Alvin.

What to send out?

Help rebuild and do farm work.

"Now for Karp, the most important thing is recovery, especially in agriculture. It is spring now, and if we don't resume farming quickly, there will be no doubt a famine in autumn. At that time, due to the previous turmoil, many people were lost and had not had time to return to their original place of residence. Therefore, I can only send people to fill the vacancy first."

"Actually, no matter what measures are used, the final food shortage will definitely appear. Karp is not a pure agricultural place, but if the food shortage is too large, there may not be enough gold coins to buy. After all, the price of food will increase. So, I have sent someone to buy food in the surrounding cities. I will stock up some of it first."

"The White City also needs your help from the Duke, otherwise the food may rise to the point where Cap could not afford it. My father is a businessman, so I am still quite clear about this part."

"The trial of previous unrest is underway, but I do not want to imprison anyone. All convicted will subsidize victims in a labor-compensated manner depending on the severity of the crime."

"For these, I hope that His Excellency the Duke can remind him to continue when sending a new ruler. Cap has suffered a disaster, and the most important thing now is reconstruction. In terms of taxes, I also hope to reduce the amount appropriately."

They rode their horses through the countryside, and wherever they went, countless people welcomed and watched. Their respect for Alvin was almost written on their faces, and everyone called Alvin the "supervisor".

"Duke Beshill!" A farmer stood in the field and shouted at Elin, "Can you please let Chief Elvin stay? I think he will be a good lord!"

"Yes, Lord Duke! Please give Chief Elvin to Karp?" Someone echoed.

"We want a chief like this. I really hope you can satisfy our wishes!" countless people agreed.

Countless eyes are looking at it.

Alvin was stunned, a little embarrassed.

But Yilin smiled and smiled with relief: "It seems that you are very popular."

"I...I just did something within my ability." Alvin stammered.

"I know, I will consider it!" Yilin turned her face and shouted to the public: "Think seriously!"

After saying that, Yilin ran over with her horse. Alvin hurriedly followed.

While speeding, Elin asked Alvin: "Have you ever thought about what you will do next?"

"Are you talking about me?" Alvin asked.

"Of course, it must be about you. What are you going to do next?"

"If the Lord Duke issues a new mission, then I will naturally go to carry out. If not, then I will stay here with our partners for the time being. The people here need confidence and need me to stand with them."

After a pause, Alvin continued, "Just as I told you before, 'What makes people become demons is not necessarily demons, but the surrounding environment.' The best way to destroy sin is to make people live a good life. Defeating demons is very important, but not letting the demons emerge is the most important thing for the Silver Moon Knights to do."

"It seems that you have a deep understanding during this period." Irene walked on the trail on the mountainside on a horse, facing the wind, looking into the distance, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I will exempt Cap from the taxes that are required for three years as part of the Principal of Beshir, and at the same time, I will entrust this territory to you. You can regard this place as the base camp of the Fifth Team of the Silver Moon Knights."

Hearing this sentence, Alvin slowly opened his eyes.

Matthew and George, who were walking behind, were also stunned.

Looking back, Elyn continued, "I will write to Ricky and Shelley separately. If nothing unexpected happens, they will grant you the title of baron as Gray's wife and heir. You will become Baron Schmidt of Cape. In this way, you can solve the funding problems of the fifth team."
