Chapter 29 Nobles
"Can you tell me why?"
Locke's words directly shocked the five captains and made them sweat.
What were they doing just now?
Are they actually dissatisfied with a strong man who can easily kill two saints?
"Sorry, Lord Locke, we are rude."
After realizing this, the five captains immediately knelt on one knee in front of Locke.
The actions of the five people made Locke very dissatisfied.
What he hates the most is the Riddler.
In the past, when I was weak, I still needed to guess the mentality of the strong. Now I have become a strong one. There are only a handful of people in the entire Wakanda plane who are stronger than me.
Under such circumstances, Locke snorted directly: "I asked you to tell me, why are you angry, and you just send me away like this?"
"This..."
The five captains looked at each other, and finally, the oldest middle-aged man spoke.
"Lord Locke, according to the order of His Majesty Seres, the territory recaptured in the war with the Temple of Light will become the territory of the Legion Commander."
"Every legion commander who wins the war will be named a Grand Duke by His Majesty Seres."
"And as Lord Locke's subordinates, we can become Lord Locke's private soldiers as long as we swear allegiance to Lord Locke."
"The Grand Duke has the right to confer two counts, five viscounts, and twenty barons within his own territory."
"We are willing to join the Tsunami Legion and follow Lord Locke in his conquest against the Temple of Light because we want to make a bright future."
"So, after hearing Lord Locke say that this territory will be governed by the nobles sent by His Majesty Seres, I felt that everything we did was in vain."
"Because, given our birth status, we will never be reused by the new nobles..."
"That's it."
After listening to the captain's story, Locke realized that the territory recaptured during the war between the two forces would actually become the fiefdom of the legion commander.
The identity of the legion commander will also rise to the top, becoming the person second only to His Majesty Seres in the Frost and Snow Empire.
It can also give your family a good background.
No wonder that after Bolton became a sanctuary, he still insisted on launching a conquest against the Temple of Light even though he knew that the Frost and Snow Empire had lost a sanctuary and 100,000 soldiers more than 20 years ago.
Unfortunately, a battle can only give the Frost and Snow Empire one more grand duke at most, so Bolton is so repulsive to his arrival.
If Bolton doesn't defeat him before the news of his appointment as legion commander spreads, then when he takes over the post of legion commander from Bolton, even if the Frost and Snow Empire wins this war, the position of Grand Duke will still be his. .
Bolton could only get the title of an earl at best.
Although there is only one level difference between the earl and the grand duke, their status is very different.
The entire Frost and Snow Empire, even now including Locke, only has seven grand dukes.
As for the count, there are at least hundreds of them.
If Bolton only wanted the title of earl, why would he bother to form a Tsunami Legion?
In the Frost and Snow Empire, anyone who achieves the Holy Realm and wants to serve His Majesty Seres will be given the title of earl.
Is he stupid?
Do you want to become someone else's subordinate?
Locke rubbed his hand under his chin and considered it carefully.
Do you want to become the Grand Duke of this territory?
No, whether he is a Grand Duke or not, it basically has no impact on him.
In this dangerous world, only strength can ensure the safety of yourself and the people you care about. Therefore, no matter whether he becomes the Grand Duke or not, Locke still needs to practice, and he has no intention of governing this territory.
Thinking of this, Locke said to the five captains of the Tsunami Legion: "I understand your appeal."
"It was also from your mouth that I learned that I had conquered this territory and it could become my territory."
"However, I still need to consider whether I want to inherit the position of Grand Duke."
"Now, you should use the fastest speed to plant the flag of the Frost and Snow Empire in this territory."
"When I think about it, I will summon you."
"Yes, Lord Locke."
The five captains were overjoyed. From Locke's tone, they heard that Lord Locke seemed to have the idea of becoming a grand duke.
As far as they knew, Master Locke was a member of the Holy Realm who was trained among the people and was not a noble from any big family.
Therefore, if Lord Locke is willing to become the Grand Duke, their Tsunami Legion will become the most trusted private soldier in Lord Locke's hands.
By then, they would not dare to think about the position of earl.
But they also have a high chance of getting the positions of the five viscounts.
After working hard all their lives, who doesn’t want to give their children and grandchildren a good birth?
After the five captains exited the camp, Locke glanced at the knight captain who was thrown into the corner of the camp.
After this period of treatment, the wound on this guy's body has completely healed.
However, the broken bones all over his body showed no signs of improvement.
Unless there is a light-type holy master who releases a restoration-type forbidden spell on him, Locke's current ability alone will not be able to cure the knight captain.
Of course, Locke had no intention of completely curing this guy.
He just needs to hang on to this guy's life and prevent him from dying.
After confirming that this guy would not wake up for a while, Locke informed the guards outside the camp, then flew into the sky, determined the direction, and flew towards Pu'er Village.
Looking at the scenery at his feet, Locke still remembered that after escaping from this battlefield and waiting for several months in Bidia Territory, he took a carriage from Bidia Territory back to Pu'er Village in Enbo Territory, which took almost three days. months.
But now it only takes less than five days to reach the Holy Land and fly in the sky.
The gap between this is something that ordinary people cannot understand.
Locke's return set off another wave of welcome in Pu'er Village.
The villagers were all proud that there was a strong man from the holy realm in the village.
To these fellow villagers, Locke did not put on any pretense of being a saint, but came to chat with them as a junior.
After all the villagers left, Locke came to his parents.
"Father, mother..."
Next, Locke told his parents that he was recruited by His Majesty Seres, became the commander of the Tsunami Legion, and won the battle with the Temple of Light.
"So, father, mother, I came here just to ask, are you willing to leave Pu'er Village and become a noble?"
……
