Chapter 114 This new lord is here, and the blue sky is here!
The territory of Transjordan covers an area of more than 10,000 square kilometers, occupying a quarter of the land of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. The territory of Hebron also covers an area of more than 1,000 square kilometers. It is small in area but rich in area.
Leonard, who controlled these two territories, could undoubtedly be called a Duke in Europe.
The population of the area under its rule is at least one hundred thousand.
The circle that Garris drew on the map immediately encompassed the northern part of the Transjordan Territory, with a starting population of 20,000.
These days, a duchy in Europe usually only has tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people.
Generally speaking, a county only has a few thousand to tens of thousands of people.
In Leonard's view, Gareth's behavior was actually quite dark and he was an out-and-out conspirator.
Through Isabella's attack, a piece of earl territory was extorted from him.
Even if the lord of that territory is said to be Isabella, as for the relationship between the two... is it really necessary to make such a clear distinction?
If Garris really eats up all the territory in that circle.
It can be said that he suddenly became a feudal lord who could speak in the entire Kingdom of Jerusalem from the original nobleman without a fiefdom.
Thinking again about Isabella's right to inherit the throne, Garris was already a naked careerist in Leonard's mind.
Garris didn't understand this, and even if he did, he wouldn't argue with it. After all, Leonard was no different from a dead person in Garris' heart, and he had no interest in telling a dead person about his great deeds.
When everything was settled, Garris supported Leonard and walked out of the tent.
Leonard glanced at the north with regret. The territory there would now be stored with Garris for a while.
But based on his disgusting mentality, Leonard pushed Garris away and asked him: "Do you think you can really control that girl? Don't do everything you do today to make a wedding dress for others."

"My worthless stepson has already hooked up with Balian and the others. Do you think Balian will let his stepdaughter be manipulated by you?"
"Oh, you know, even though the Leper King is dead, he is still alive among us. The restraints he set restrain you and me, making it difficult for us to be free."
"He is the king!"
"But he is not a good brother."
Leonard spat aside rather disdainfully.
Listening to Leonard's words, Garris actually had nothing to say. The current Kingdom of Jerusalem is living in the shadow of the dead Leper King.
Isabella's fiancé was Humphrey III of Toruń, who was Leonard's stepson.
When the Leper King was alive, he considered the possibility of Leonard completely falling for Guy.
For this purpose, he sacrificed his sister and gave an heir to the throne to Leonard with his own hands.
He gave Leonard the opportunity to get involved in the royal power, hoping to use this to provoke a conflict between him and Guy.
If we follow the Leper King's established script, Ibelin's Balian and Leonard will become in-laws because of Isabella.
However, Leonard is indeed a madman... Even his adopted son has now chosen to abandon him and follow Balian.
"Balian should know the news about you. You can talk to me with swords and force, but what should you do when facing Balian?"
"Can you put a sword on Balian's neck and tell him not to take the girl away? Ha!"
Leonard tilted his head and spread his hands, looking like a scoundrel who was not to blame.
Behind him, the wind blew up the yellow sand and kicked up a burst of dust, as if the land was also responding to Leonard's mocking of Garris.
Garris did not have dinner with Leonard. Before leaving, he took away the Muslims captured by Leonard.
Leonard jumped in anger.
……
Time passed day by day, when Leonard returned to Karak City with his entourage.
Father Gabriel, who originally went to Karak City to move reinforcements, did get good news.
"What? There is a new lord of Labrete Manor?"
According to Father Gabriel, this is good news!
For Leonard, Labrette Manor is just a less dazzling one among its many estates.
Even if there is a riot in the manor, Leonard may not be concerned about it. After all, the status gap between the two parties is too big.
Even if Father Gabriel came to Karak City and found the church bishop to state his interests.
I just got one sentence: "I know."
Then there is no more.
After all, the summer taxes have been paid, so Karak City naturally has no intention of interfering too much with the affairs of the manor. Now, there is a new lord of Labrete Manor. As soon as the new lord takes office, won't he have to deal with the original unruly people?
ah! With the new lord here, the manor will be at peace! This new lord is here, and the sky is already there!
In order to hand over the territory, Leonard also sent a special envoy to the new lord's seat.
This mission was organized by Amedelai, Bishop of the Church of Karak City. In order to be able to join the new lord, Father Gabriel volunteered and was included in the list of members of the mission.
"My Lord Bishop, let me tell you, the troublesome people in Labrete Manor are not simple. A wizard appears who can conjure thorns out of thin air! He can also incite hundreds of people to rebel! Is there any other way to do this!"
"After I meet the new lord, I will definitely invite the new lord and lead the troops to suppress the unruly people in the manor!"
"I heard that the new lord has royal blood, but I don't know what the soldiers under his command are like."
Father Gabriel was talking so much that Bishop Amedeh dozed off in the carriage.
It was nearly three days' journey from the city of Karak to the new lord's seat. During these three days, Bishop Amedei had heard the priest's words dozens of times.
Fortunately, we are almost at our destination now and don't have to endure the priest's nonsense anymore.
After the carriage stopped, Bishop Amedei led everyone in the delegation out of the carriage.
In front of them, more than a hundred soldiers lined up neatly and lined the streets to welcome them.
These soldiers are majestic and majestic. At first glance, they are an army that has been trained for a long time and has seen blood on the battlefield!
Seeing how powerful and powerful the new lord's soldiers were, Father Gabriel couldn't help but admire them.
OK! Now those unruly people in the manor have something good to eat!
After a while, Father Gabriel met the new lord he had longed for.
As soon as this man appeared, he shocked Father Gabriel.
He was a young man with short golden red hair that was soft and smooth, cut below his ears, and swayed slightly in the wind. The facial features are as three-dimensional and delicate as ancient Greek statues.
He was wearing a simple robe with a brown belt tied around his waist. His steps were firm and light, and he had a faint noble temperament.
When a slightly dressed-up Isabel arrived surrounded by entourage behind her, she became the undisputed focus.
Everyone in the mission knelt down on one knee and lowered their heads to show respect. Father Gabriel, who knew little about it, also followed suit.
For those who know Isabel's true identity, no matter how much they want Isabel to die, they still need to maintain basic etiquette. This is hypocritical, but also aristocratic.
It took a long time for Isabel to raise her head, and Quan Dang responded, and then the members of the delegation stood up in embarrassment.
"Good day, Your Highness, you are safe and sound because of the protection of Heavenly Father. When I heard that you were attacked by Muslims, our lord, Lord Leonard, had prepared his army for war and vowed to avenge you."
"Amedei, it's been so long since we last met, why are you now so good at telling jokes?" Isabel couldn't help but sneer.
As the bishop of the Karak Church, Amedei was naturally familiar with Isabel. But Muslim attacks? Leonard prepares for war?
Are you kidding...
But Isabel couldn't directly refute Amedei's words. After all, covering up the truth was part of the secret agreement.
Isabel showed her face, turned around and led everyone in the envoy towards the conference room.
Just when he was about to arrive at the conference room, Father Gabriel finally couldn't bear it any longer. He quickly took a few steps forward and came to Isabel's side.
He said: "Your Highness! I have something to report to you."
Isabella glanced sideways at Father Gabriel, who was bowing down in an unusually humble manner, and replied lightly.
"What happened?"
Gabriel, a country priest who does not care much about the politics of the kingdom, is actually unaware of Isabel's true identity.
In his eyes, Isabel is just a new lord who can help him regain his place in the manor.
"Your Highness, there was a rebellion at Labrete Manor a few days ago, and I was kicked. This was not a kick to me, this was a slap in your face!"
"We should treat those unruly people with severity, speed and severity! No one should be spared! Let them know who is the servant of God in this world!"
Listening to Father Gabriel's remarks, Isabel clicked her tongue, showing an expression of disgust.
However, just when Bishop Amedet was about to take the priest away, Isabel looked a little strange and said, "I have also heard about the Labrete Manor."
"Indeed, this matter has a bad impact and must be dealt with severely, quickly and strictly. In this territory, I have appointed a general manager. You can ask that general manager to explain the situation."
"Oh, he's here. Regarding Labrete Manor, you can just go find him now."
With that said, Isabel greeted Garris who was not far away.
Today's conversation with Leonard's delegation was originally the sole responsibility of Garris, and Isabel was just showing his face to show the outside world that he was the lord of this territory.
After seeing Father Gabriel, Garris's lips curved into a kind smile.
