"Fifth..." Adrick continued calmly.

Xia Ya quit!

He jumped up and said, "Don't do it anymore! One by one, you just use a rope to cover my neck! How do you want me to do things with so many conditions?!"

Adrick looked strange: "The fifth article is a personal reward to you. Do you really not listen to it?"

Xia Yayi Dai: "My personal reward?"

Adrick smiled and said, "When the First Emperor was there, did you forget about the hunting ceremony in the imperial capital that day, what the First Emperor promised in public?"

When Xia Ya heard this, she immediately became happy: "Yes, I remember that thing... I will be called the Count if I kill 30,000 enemies, and if I kill Hasting, I will be named the lord..."

"You can't kill Hasting, but that guy Manninger died at your hands is a great achievement, so... boy, congratulations, even when the Empire was founded, there was never a duke as young as you!"

Duke, Duke...

Xia Ya suddenly grinned and silly.

Duke... In terms of title, he is already a great minister!

The twenty-year-old duke, except for the hereditary nobles, may have been granted by his own abilities, never had any other ones! Even when the country was founded, it never happened!

"Fifth, His Majesty Garcia follows the oath of the late emperor and upgrades your title from baron to duke, hereditary system! Real title! Is your title yet? It's not decided yet, and I have to wait for the noble council to discuss. Congratulations, boy, you can also create a family. In addition, as the Duke, you can own your own territory, establish your own private army, and the imperial system. The Duke can have a private army of a flag regiment. The quota of two thousand people is also considered an expansion.

It's strength. Moreover, you have real absolute power in the territory of the nobles. Whether it is military power or government affairs, you are controlled by you and are not controlled by anyone! This title is also a talisman for you! Once you become a great noble, even the emperor cannot do anything to you easily, otherwise, other aristocratic classes will have unstable and self-inflicted ideas. This is also the capital I have won you for the future to settle down..."

When Xia Ya heard this, she was very grateful. She looked at Adrick and said, "Sir, I..."

"Don't thank me for now." Adrick's expression suddenly became strange: "I had good intentions in this matter. After a few arguments, the emperor finally agreed, but he didn't expect that the emperor would think of a way to control you at the last joint... Alas, from this matter, let's not talk about whether you can sit firmly as a duke. I'm afraid that the duke's reward may not be a good thing for you... Alas, it's because I'm not careful, but it makes you embarrassed."

When Xia Ya heard this, she felt aroused her heart: "Is it my fiefdom..." He pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be that the emperor refused to give me a fiefdom?"

"No, I just said that you are hereditary and have a real seal! There is a fiefdom."

Xia Ya nodded and said, "That's the fiefdom is too small? It's too barren and deserted?"

Adrick looked embarrassed: "Your fiefdom is quite large... Speaking of which, if you only count based on the territory, your fiefdom can be regarded as the largest among the imperial nobles at present! Your fiefdom is a county! A whole county has been assigned to you!"

A county?!

Xia Ya was stunned.

The aristocratic system of the empire, it is true that the nobles have fiefs. Their previous titles were barons, but they were just enfeoffed a small city. And the higher aristocratic titles were nothing more than some towns. The empire’s titles were not without the titles of dukes, and their fiefs were mostly ranging from a few cities to a dozen cities.

But if we want to confer an entire county to a noble, the Byzantine Empire can't find one now!

"A county..." Xia Ya frowned: "I understand... Could it be that the emperor deliberately placed my fiefdom in the south of the empire? The south of the empire is an area controlled by the central government, and my nest is in the northern border. The emperor deliberately put my fiefdom in the south, so that I could not really control it, but I was afraid that my fiefdom would not be able to really control it. After all, I could not be able to run to the south... Hey, it was also a means!"

"That...isn't." Adrick smiled bitterly: "Your fiefdom is in the north, and...is right next to your lair... that... well... is just one step away from your county of More..."

When Xia Ya heard this, she suddenly woke up in her heart. She was stunned and opened her mouth: "A step away... Damn it! That emperor, shouldn't he be......"

Adrick sighed and patted Chara on the shoulder: "Since you guessed it, I won't hide it... Yes, your fiefdom is... Nords County. The entire Nords County has been sealed to you!"

damn it!!

Xia Ya suddenly became angry!

Nords County! A whole county?!

What a big fief!

Is this clear that I am Yin?!

Nordsshire…hell Nordsshire!

You know, it is true that Nords is indeed next to Mor County! Nords itself is also a rich grain-producing area! Nords' territory is not false, and it is true that Nords's territory is not small!

But the most critical issue is that Nordsshire is not in the hands of the empire now!!

Now in Nords, the one who occupied his "fixion" was the Odin Black Flag Army!

Black Flag Army, Hasting!!

...

Xia Ya was annoyed. After taking a few deep breaths, she gritted her teeth hard: "This Garcia is such a sinister thought!"

Xia Ya insulted the emperor in front of a backbone figure in the royalist faction like Adrick, and Adrick could only pretend that he hadn't heard it. After all, the emperor did this matter a bit sinister...

A difficult problem facing Charia is very obvious.

Nords County is nominally the fief of Charia, and it is the private property that the Byzantine Empire royal family clearly granted to Charia!

But this property was occupied by Hasting!

It’s great if you want Nordsshire... Go and fight with the famous Odin god Hasting! If you win, don’t be polite, Nordsshire is yours!

Of course, if you, Duke Charia, cannot defeat the Odin Martial God, have a great loss of strength, or accidentally die under Hasting's triangular war gun, His Majesty the Emperor doesn't mind chasing you a warrior to award you a medal or something...

Some people may say: Since it is clearly a whole situation, I just won’t be fooled! If I don’t fight with Hasting in Nords, I will throw it to him. If I don’t fight with Hasting, the emperor will have no choice but to do anything to me, right?

But the problem is not that simple.

If the emperor simply used this method to disgust Xia Ya, it would not have given Xia Ya a real headache.

The key to this problem is a "fame"!

Xia Ya gradually emerged and officially became a hero on the stage of the Byzantine Empire!

But the higher the identity, the more you pay attention to a matter of prestige!!

Xia Ya's deeds of defeating the Chixue Army and regaining the land of several counties will soon spread to the mainland and become an emerging force rising like a comet! Especially at this time, the power of the empire is weak, and a young hero like him will emerge like a nobility, which will definitely attract the attention of countless people and look up to them!

It is conceivable that Charia's prestige will definitely rise to an amazing level!

And the emperor's method is very clear!

Suppress Xia's prestige!

Just imagine, you, Lord Xia Leiming, the hero of the empire, the honor of the duke, are like a god of war who annihilated the Chixue Army and made great achievements... The dignified Duke cannot even keep his fiefdom and is occupied by others. You don’t have the courage to take it back...

Over time, Xia Ya's prestige will definitely be damaged!

A hero who cannot even protect his fiefdom and property, a hero who cannot even protect his hometown, a coward who has even lost the courage to rob him of his fiefdom and has no courage to rob him... How many people can get sincere allegiance?

"...What a cruel method."

After thinking carefully for a while, Xia Ya had figured out all the links. He sighed: "This Garcia is indeed sinister, hum... I just didn't expect that he was so smart. Such a cunning method could be used. Speaking of which, I underestimated this rabbit."

Adrick had no choice but to openly insult the emperor to Charia.

But he knew it.

This kind of sophisticated method, with a light reward, squeezed Xia Ya into the corner, unable to move forward and retreat, and felt uncomfortable as if he was stuck in his neck... Such political skills and such scheming were not something that the young Emperor Garcia could use.

When he got the order of reward, Adrick understood the meaning and was once amazed at Emperor Garcia's amazing skills.

But soon, the fat man Ruhr pointed it out!

At that time, the fat man concluded without hesitation: "This kind of ability is definitely not something that our young emperor can do! I think the idea of ​​reward is mostly from the hands of the prime minister! Hehe! He was able to fight with a demon like Kavishil for more than ten years, and his methods are naturally wise, and he is indeed extraordinary in his actions!!"
