From Baron to Lord

Chapter 430: Rewards Distributed, New Tasks

Allen returned to the main hall and carefully considered his next steps.

The state of Norton Kingdom's capital was such that the first priority was undoubtedly reorganization.

He had to both reorganize the capital and appease the surviving residents, ensuring they didn't harbor resentment towards him.

After a major battle, the capital of Norton Kingdom was littered with corpses, a truly horrific sight, with bodies and skeletons everywhere.

Even Allen, who had seen his fair share of situations, felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Fortunately, it was winter, which helped preserve the bodies; if it were summer, they would have rotted long ago, potentially causing a plague and creating even more trouble.

Forget about restoring production; the very survival of Norton Kingdom would be in question.

Furthermore, he needed to quickly restore Norton Kingdom's strength and urge the farmers to resume planting crops.

Most of the previous harvest had been destroyed by those damned undead.

Now, he could only salvage what he could, but this year's grain harvest would undoubtedly be reduced by more than half, requiring the distribution of relief grain.

He also needed to inquire about the well-being of Copper Mountain and Marquis Iron Lizard, although Allen wasn't too worried about them; any normal person would be fine, as Allen was essentially giving them an opportunity to earn merit.

Next, the most important task was the relocation of Allen Duchy, requiring careful consideration of what to move and what to leave behind.

It wasn't necessary to move everything, as that would severely impact Allen Duchy.

Allen didn't want his hard work to be in vain.

It was amusing to think that Allen Duchy had only been relocated a few years ago, and now it was moving again.

However, most people would likely agree, as this was the capital, a place countless people dreamed of.

Allen wouldn't easily abandon them, as they were the foundation of his rule, essential for a duke like him.

In Norton Kingdom, besides the two hundred thousand soldiers, he was practically alone, which was unacceptable.

Although Allen Duchy's current strength surpassed that of any other nation within Norton Kingdom and its affiliated territories.

Moreover, this world valued high-level strength the most, like Allen and his subordinates Thomas, Marco, and the three major legions.

He relied on his Legendary Rank One strength and those few Dragon Knights to occupy Norton Kingdom.

However, relying solely on them wasn't ideal; Allen needed more power.

Also, there were the initial buildings he had constructed, which were the most important.

Allen suddenly thought of these things, wondering if he would have to slowly relocate them himself?

Just as Allen thought of this, he heard a voice.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the mission: Undead of Atlantis!"

"Starting to evaluate mission completion, detecting that the host successfully eliminated the source of the abyss, Keding, detecting that the host successfully eliminated the undead..."

"Evaluation complete, mission completion is one hundred percent."

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining merit points, experience points! Subsidiary Occupation Level Upgrade Scroll x1, Atlantis Treasure x1, Atlantis Blessing x1, Golden Behemoth Secret Technique x1, Ocean Body x1, Title: Legendary Hero, Ocean Mine x20."

"Atlantis Blessing: The ancient Atlantis Empire was destroyed by a series of mad actions. But their suffering was far from over, the gods enslaved their souls, leaving them living in pain for thousands of years. And you have freed them and received the blessing of the ancient empire. Damage recovery increased by eighty percent."

"Ocean Body: A person who obtains the Body of the Ocean can increase their strength by thirty percent when fighting on the water, while reducing damage by fifty percent."

"Legendary Hero: Wearing this title can greatly increase the goodwill of ordinary people, the more sense of justice in the heart, the higher the goodwill. If it is a villain, it will reduce goodwill."

A series of messages came, making Allen's face split into a smile.

This time he really made a profit. Not to mention anything else, just the Blessing of Atlantis and the Body of the Ocean alone would increase Allen's strength several times over in specific locations.

Moreover, he also obtained the Golden Behemoth enhancement method he had always wanted, which was no less valuable than a Dragon Knight.

As for the Atlantis Empire's treasure and the underwater mines, Allen wasn't in a hurry about those, as they would be available in a few days.

A scroll also appeared in Allen's hand, which was the Subsidiary Occupation Upgrade Scroll.

Allen didn't wait, looking at the familiar scroll and opening it.

Immediately, a white light enveloped Allen, and his whole body was bathed in the white light. Soon, he felt his Saint Domain mage strength rapidly increase.

This time, Allen's luck didn't seem to be very good, as he only increased by two stars, reaching Legendary Rank Two.

However, this was understandable, as Allen's strength was already approaching the ceiling of this continent, and it was impossible to improve as quickly as before.

However, a Legendary Rank Two mage was still rare on the continent.

Allen was still in a good mood. After thinking for a moment, he opened the system.

Seeing his 14 million experience points, Allen didn't hesitate and directly spent one thousand experience points to upgrade to Legendary Rank Two.

Now, both his knight and mage abilities had reached the strength of Legendary Rank Two, which could be considered balanced.

Allen looked at the Merit Shop. He now had several million, even after spending several million to fight the boss before.

It could only be said that those skeleton soldiers gave him too many merit points, resulting in such amazing figures.

Thinking of this, Allen felt much better and his hatred for them dissipated somewhat.

At this moment, there were many more items in the Merit Shop, but what attracted Allen's attention the most were the buildings.

However, Allen noticed that there was a number one symbol below each of the buildings.

"Could it be that I can build multiple buildings now?" Allen was pleasantly surprised. Although this meant that he would have to spend more merit points, Allen, standing there with plenty of wealth, obviously didn't care about this point.

If this could be done, Allen was confident that the other duchies would have a great development.

"Let's try one first." Allen couldn't help but want to take a look.

However, just as he was about to exchange a building with merit points, his expression changed.

"What's going on? It's actually not possible?" Allen was a little puzzled.

"Ding, a new mission for the Allen Duchy has been released!"

Chapter 431 New Mission, Relocation

"Ding, a new mission for the Allen Kingdom has been released."

"A sudden undead disaster has caused this peaceful Southern Peninsula to lose its former harmony. Many duchies have been defeated one after another, and the Norton Kingdom, which the host relied on, has also perished."

"The King and royal family members of the Norton Kingdom have died in battle one after another, and the Norton Kingdom will forever remain in history, and the opportunity for the Allen Duchy to rise has arrived."

"Mission: Obtain the title from the Radiant Empire and replace the Norton Kingdom to establish the Allen Kingdom."

"Reward: The productivity of all citizens of the Allen Kingdom and its affiliated countries will be increased by fifty percent, and the range of all halos will be expanded tenfold. Obtain the title of King. Norton Kingdom Treasury * 1"

"This mission shouldn't be too difficult." Allen stroked his chin, thinking.

Now Allen has occupied the Norton Kingdom, the Chomondley Duchy, and the Hilton Duchy.

Currently, only the Lyne Duchy is not his territory, but they have already submitted to him, so it is harmless.

Next, he just needs to govern the Norton Kingdom well and wait for the Radiant Empire to confer the title.

Allen summoned Marco and Thomas and the other six people and assigned the tasks.

He himself was going to be a porter again. The current Direwolf City was much larger than before, but Allen was no longer the Saint-tier mage he used to be, but a Legendary Two-Star powerhouse.

Allen rode Luka and flew back all the way.

As soon as he arrived at the Allen Duchy, he saw a completely different scene.

Although the border of the Allen Duchy was still somewhat desolate due to the undead invasion.

However, most of the Allen Duchy's territory still looked very peaceful, much better than other countries.

Allen smiled slightly as he looked down, his achievements seemed to be very good.

Returning to Direwolf City, almost the entire city gathered outside the palace, and many people from other cities were still rushing over, hundreds of thousands of people gathered together, looking very spectacular. Someone discovered Allen above his head and shouted excitedly: "It's Grand Duke Allen!"

Instantly, the crowd boiled over.

Grand Duke Allen!

For those in the Allen Duchy, especially in Direwolf City, he was a legend.

In just a few short years, Allen had successfully established a duchy, and now he was about to establish a kingdom!

That was a kingdom! Most of them were veterans who had followed Allen from the beginning, but there were also many people from the duchy, and they were all going crazy at the thought of becoming citizens of the kingdom.

Moreover, under Allen's leadership, the Allen Duchy successfully resisted the undead's attack, which greatly boosted the confidence of the entire country.

Seeing Allen, the people below suddenly burst into a deafening shout, expressing their admiration for Allen.

Allen was also very excited to see the sea of people below.

"My people, I'm back!"

This simple sentence instantly ignited the crowd below.

"Grand Duke!"

"Long live Grand Duke Allen!"

"We have gone through difficult battles, and now we have finally achieved victory, and now it is time for us to enjoy the fruits of victory."

"From now on, we will start the carnival again. In the next three days, wine and food will be free. Three days later, we will start moving to the Allen Duchy!"

"Wow! That's great!"

"Grand Duke!"

"Grand Duke!"

This time, the voice was a bit louder. Allen seemed to sense something and looked in one direction. Sure enough, Sparro was frowning and looking at Allen. When he saw Allen looking over, he quickly squeezed out a smile.

Allen found it funny, but his performance this time was much better than last time, it seemed that Allen's words had worked.

Allen flew quickly and stopped in front of the palace, seeing that almost all the people he knew were here.

Sparro, Oliver, Bax, Jennifer, Boltzmann, Nick, etc.

Seeing that they also had something to say, Allen smiled and took care of them, "Let's go in first!"

Arriving at the main hall, Allen sat on the chair, looking at the crowd below, and immediately noticed Nick, and couldn't help but tease.

"Nick, this is the cleanest I've seen you in recent years."

"Hahaha." The others, including Nick, burst into laughter, the atmosphere was very relaxed.

"It's different now," Nick said with a chuckle.

"Today is an important day for the Allen Duchy, of course I have to figure it out."

"Nick is right. Since knowing that the war is over and the Grand Duke has gone to the Norton Kingdom, the people of the entire Allen Duchy have been coming to Direwolf City."

"Later, I had to stop accepting people because there were too many people," Sparro said with a smile.
