Chapter 3 Departure, target Landsburg

In Duke Horsman's view, lords like them do not necessarily have to charge into battle, at least they must not seek death.

The fundamental reason why Viscount Horton died unexpectedly in battle was because the Duke of Freiburg, as the commander of the reinforcements, was too desperate and plunged into the encirclement of the orcs regardless of their actual strength as guest troops.

One general is incompetent and a thousand troops are exhausted. The commander-in-chief just wanted to commit suicide. Unfortunately, nearly 100,000 troops spilled blood on the battlefield and were almost wiped out.

The young Duke of Freiburg inherited the title prematurely, and I understand his eagerness to express himself, but such a mentality must not appear in the commander-in-chief of the army.

Therefore, if virtue is not matched, there will be disaster. This is an eternal truth.

Although the Duke of Freiburg was a sinner of the human race, it was his fiasco that allowed Brian to miss the mark.

If God does not take what he wants, he will suffer its consequences. Once the opportunity comes, he must seize it tightly, otherwise, wouldn’t his predecessor’s death be in vain?

After the welcome banquet, Duke Horston had no intention of spending the night at the manor. He left 5,000 gold coins and three hundred armored knights and immediately returned to the Duke's Mansion.

He must control the Duchess and her forces as soon as possible, and cannot let them continue to cause chaos to Brian.

Brian could understand this, and he didn't have much time to prepare. Regardless of his still weak body, he immediately asked Butler Carl to pack his luggage and took away everything he could.

Brian knows Lansburg's current financial situation. He can save whatever he can. He is a good man who knows how to live a good life.

Even only a few servants were left to look after the manor, and the rest were taken away. After being screened by the Duke's guards, these people were all loyal and reliable.

After all, the so-called rights need loyal people to implement them, otherwise they will be the fate of being ignored.

Brian is lucky at this point. Although there are only ten nobles in Lansburgh now, it is precisely because of this that no big nobles will ignore him.

Brian can directly convey his orders to every village, which greatly improves the efficiency of his farming development.

The aristocratic manor was busy until late at night, so Brian took a nap. When the morning light came up the next day, Brian had already boarded the carriage heading to Landsburg.

In the large and luxurious carriage, Brian rested his head on the lap of the beautiful maid and continued to fall asleep.

If he hadn't taken the Duke's son's face into consideration, he would have wanted to sell the carriage and exchange it for gold coins.

This kind of pomp and face is also Brian's invisible power, which cannot be saved. His original right to obtain the rights of Lansburg was not in the right position.

Brian only had the title of court baron, no fiefdom, just an honorary title. The Duke of Horsman bought it for him when he came of age.

As long as you have some aristocratic blood, even if you are a big businessman, you can buy the title of palace viscount by spending a little more money.

Therefore, once the Duke's son's reputation is damaged, no one will listen to Brian's orders.

The journey from the manor to Landsburg takes two days. The country is restored and the security here is good. No one or stupid gangster will come out to block the road and rob.

But Brian was worried about the long nights and long dreams. Although the old Duke was protecting him, who knew what monsters and monsters would appear to block his way to take office.

So a large number of carriages were rented from surrounding towns, and all the servants and guards got on the carriages and drove all night.

Finally, it only took one day to arrive at Landsburg without incident.

As a castle in a viscounty, its construction area is no less than that of an earldom, which also proves the wealth and glory of the Horton family back then.

Viscount Horton is even more talented. He became an Earth Knight at a young age. If nothing unexpected happens, he will become an earl in a matter of ten years.

Brian's grandfather, the old Duke, took a fancy to this and married his daughter to Viscount Horton.

But who would have thought that on the eve of Viscount Horton becoming a great noble, he would be tricked to death by his own lord, the Duke of Freiburg.

At this time, there was no master in Lancaster, only a deputy steward who was responsible for managing the affairs of the castle.

Brian's aunt is attending the mourning ceremony held by King Ibuprofen III in the royal capital for the nobles who died in this battle, and will stay in the royal capital and will not come back.

The deputy butler, who had received the news a long time ago, was fully prepared for Brian's arrival. This would be his new master in the future.

He did not stay in the royal capital with his wife like the butler, so he could only continue to make a living in the castle.

Without any trouble, Brian moved into Landsburg and immediately ordered people to summon all the nobles in the viscounty.

As a Viscount, Landsburg naturally does not have a complete administrative team, including internal affairs officers, diplomats, political officers, tax collectors, etc.

The lord usually orders a certain noble to be responsible for a certain work. After the work is completed, the rights are naturally handed over.

Of course, this is only administrative. Viscount Horton is particularly dedicated to the army, and his combat effectiveness is not weaker than that of ordinary earls. Unfortunately, they have all disappeared at this time.

Within an hour, all the nobles who received the order rushed over, and they were all dressed up to attend.

As a minor nobleman, it is difficult to see the Duke's son, and he is worried that his impoliteness will bring trouble to his family.

The nobles sat in their seats and watched Brian carefully. Brian was not afraid of the stage. He took out the document with the magic runes, unfolded it and showed it to everyone.

"With the approval of His Majesty the King, I have officially become the legal heir of Lansburgh.

He also performs the duties of Lady Lina Horton, Viscount of Lanesburg, and manages the Viscount of Lanesburg and its vassals.

Do you all here have any opinions?”

These nobles were silent for a moment, then they all stood up and knelt down on one knee to swear allegiance to Brian.

Brian accepted their allegiance and officially took over Landsburg.

Then there was a flood of flattery, praising Brian for his young talent, and that everyone would rebuild the glory of Landsburg under Brian's leadership.

There were all kinds of flattery, which made Brian's skin crawl.

This was different from what Brian expected. He thought that he, a little airborne knight, couldn't convince everyone.

He was still counting on the Duke's 300 cavalry to calm the situation for him.

I didn't expect these little nobles to surrender so quickly and swear allegiance to me. I don't know if they were sincere.

In fact, it was Brian who was overly worried. At this time, not only was Lansburg's army empty, but the nobles were also dead and wounded. How could the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled have the courage to resist the king's order?

Just the name of the Duke's son made them breathless.
