From Baron to Lord

Moreover, he also took the opportunity to give a few instructions to Marco, who had rushed over, telling him to continue working hard, and that he would constantly support him and so on.

For the sake of convenient enfeoffment, Allen directly brought Marco along, and along the way, he also brought the Copper Mountain Marquis and the Iron Lizard Marquis back to the Norton Kingdom, no, it should be to the capital of the Allen Kingdom.

Seeing the giant dragon in the sky, many residents of Sirius City cheered.

Allen also landed with Marco and the others, and was greeted by the haggard-looking ministers.

“Your Grace, you’re finally back.” Sparro looked at Allen and sobbed with tears and snot, making Allen feel disgusted.

Chapter 445: Enthronement and Enfeoffment!

Allen comforted Sparro, “Don’t worry, I have already transported the supplies here.”

“That’s great.” Sparro said happily, but when he thought of the purpose of Allen’s trip, he couldn’t help but look at Allen.

Allen didn’t speak, just nodded.

Immediately, Sparro and the others were overjoyed, “Greetings, Your Majesty!” Allen was successfully crowned as King, which meant they would also rise to prominence.

“Sparro, help me find a suitable time for the enthronement.” Allen didn’t seem to care much.

“Your Grace, what do you think about three days from now?” Sparro leaned in and asked, it seemed they had been preparing for this for a long time.

Allen didn’t care, it was just a formality.

With a wave of his hand, Allen released Sirius City, right next to the royal capital.

Seeing their homes and the mountains of supplies, many people cheered.

Allen smiled at them and summoned the ministers back to the main hall of the royal capital.

At this time, almost all the important figures of the Allen Duchy were gathered in the main hall, the five great marquises, Sparro, Oliver, and Thomas and the others.

There were also some people Allen didn’t recognize, standing behind Duke Will.

Seeing Allen’s curious gaze, Duke Will stepped forward and said, “Your Grace, these are all subjects of the Norton Kingdom who were separated due to the war. I have found many people in the past few days and brought them here to meet Your Grace.” Although Duke Will’s words were somewhat euphemistic, Allen still understood his meaning.

Most of these people were former ministers and nobles of the Norton Kingdom, who had now come to seek refuge.

However, Allen didn’t look down on them, but was very happy.

After all, they were taking over such a large country, and it was necessary to appease some people.

Since these people were seeking refuge with him, that was all the better, and it would also speed up the process of subduing the Norton Kingdom. “Who is this?”

Allen’s attention was drawn to an old man with white hair behind Duke Will. Although he looked very old, he was in good spirits.

Ever since meeting the Emperor of the Radiant Empire, Allen felt that these old people were not to be trifled with.

“Bascule Lihe greets King Allen.” The old man looked very respectful.

“This Mr. Bascule Lihe was the Prime Minister of the Norton Kingdom, responsible for the daily affairs of the kingdom. I accidentally met Bascule Lihe when I was escaping from the royal capital, and brought him along.” “Bascule Lihe was in the rear last time, so he didn’t see Your Majesty.” “Good, good.”

Allen was pleasantly surprised, he didn’t expect Duke Will to give him such a great gift.

Now he was managing a kingdom, not as simple as the previous duchy.

Allen was still worried about where to find some real talents.

He didn’t expect to meet a real talent now, the former Prime Minister of the Norton Kingdom, whose ability goes without saying, and even more rare is that he is very familiar with everything in the Norton Kingdom.

“Okay, Mr. Bascule Lihe, are you willing to serve as the Prime Minister of the Allen Kingdom?” Allen extended an invitation to Bascule Lihe.

Bascule Lihe didn’t expect that he could still serve as Prime Minister. He originally thought it would be good enough if he could continue to stay here.

Bascule Lihe hurriedly knelt down, “Your subject is willing, thank you, Your Majesty.”

Sparro and the others were extremely envious, but when they thought about managing such a large country themselves, they were afraid it would be somewhat unsustainable, so they endured it.

“Sparro, tell me about the current situation of the Allen Kingdom.”

Hearing Allen’s words, Sparro hurriedly stepped forward.

“Your Majesty, after the undead ravaged the Allen Kingdom, the grain harvest has been greatly reduced, and we may need our relief.”

“Mm.” Allen nodded, “That’s fine, you can discuss it directly with Bascule Lihe.”

“Also, the most important thing now is that the population of the Allen Kingdom is severely insufficient due to the war and escape.” Sparro looked worried, after all, the population is a very important aspect of a country.

“Don’t worry about that.”

Seeing the puzzled looks on Sparro and the others, “The Radiant Empire has agreed to send back all the residents who fled before, and will also provide us with tens of millions of additional people, so you don’t have to worry about that.”

“That’s great.” Sparro was overjoyed, and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.

Three days later, under the gaze of countless people, Allen smoothly held the enthronement ceremony.

As Allen sat on the high throne, countless people immediately saluted him.

Allen didn’t want to be troublesome, and took advantage of the present moment to hold the investiture ceremony for Marco and the others.

Although holding the enthronement and investiture together seemed a bit incongruous, with Allen’s current prestige, naturally no one would say anything.

“Marco, come forward!”

Allen said to Marco, who stepped forward with an excited expression.

"Knight Marco, today, under the gaze of the God of War, and in the presence of all dragon knights and nobles, I, Allen, King of the Allen Kingdom, shall bestow upon you a fiefdom."

"Your bravery and loyalty shall receive their due reward. From this day forth, your name shall be your title. Duke Marco, I hereby revoke the name of the Allen Kingdom and rename it Marco. From this day forward, the fertile lands of the south shall be yours to command."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Although he was prepared, Marco's face was still flushed with excitement.

After all, establishing a kingdom is the ultimate goal for many.

Marco never imagined that he, once a mere knight, could now become a dragon knight and establish a duchy. He couldn't help but be excited. "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Marquis Copper Mountain, step forward!"

The investiture ceremony continued, the atmosphere around them solemn.

Many had never seen so many nobles being ennobled at once.

"Marquis Thornflower, step forward."

Although this was a little impolite to his old man, he probably wouldn't mind.

"Under the gaze of the God of War, Marquis Thornflower, I, Allen, hereby bestow upon you a fiefdom. From this day forward, you shall be Duke Thornflower of the Allen Kingdom, your territory stretching west to the Sna Plains, east to the Yaning Mountains, north to the kingdom's border, and south to the city of Kexijia."

Knowing what his old man wanted, Allen directly made a grand gesture, allocating a large portion of the northernmost land of the Allen Kingdom to him. As expected, Albert smiled incessantly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Allen, in one breath, conferred the title of Grand Duke upon Thomas, Hornasan, Louchinger, Emil, and Duke Will.

Fortunately, the Allen Kingdom was large enough to accommodate so many people.

Chapter 446: Rewards Arrive, Dragons!

Originally, Allen also wanted to ennoble Jackson, but he insisted on refusing, saying only that he wished to follow Allen forever.

Allen saw that his attitude was firm, so he gave up. However, Allen did not mistreat him, directly appointing him as the Supreme Military Commander of the Allen Kingdom and entrusting the safety of the royal city to him.

As for the original Norton Kingdom, only Duke Will, that last remaining fellow, was left, so naturally, he couldn't be treated poorly.

The other nobles of the Norton Kingdom were naturally the same as before, except that they no longer needed Allen to ennoble them.

After the investiture ceremony, the Grand Dukes returned to their respective territories.

Grand Duke Copper Mountain and Grand Duke Iron Lizard were still crying to Allen, after all, they were really uneasy without dragons.

Allen could only comfort them, saying that they would soon become dragon knights.

After all, although Allen had already exchanged for dragons, their growth still needed time.

As for the dragons of Marco and the others, Allen still let them take them away, he couldn't possibly keep their dragons by his side all the time.

Allen also selected many people from his knight order to hand over to them.

These people were all loyal to Allen and their talents were not particularly strong, but they made the greatest contribution in this battle.

Allen's purpose in selecting these people was self-evident.

Fortunately, they were all smart people and accepted without asking anything.

Moreover, Allen realized that he had done a stupid thing, he shouldn't have brought Tianlang City over.

The royal capital had suffered heavy casualties, resulting in many vacant houses, which could completely accommodate the residents here.

Compared to Tianlang City, they obviously preferred the royal capital, they were just a little reluctant to part with their belongings before.

Allen had no choice, in order to make the best use of everything, he had to send things back in a few days.

"Ding, mission completed."

"Reward: Productivity of all citizens in the Allen Kingdom and its affiliated countries increased by 50%, the range of all auras increased tenfold. Obtained title, King. Norton Kingdom Treasury * [1."

"Title King: After wearing the title, you can increase the loyalty of residents of the Allen Kingdom and affiliated countries by +10."

"This is not bad."

Allen put it on. Now Allen had a lot of titles on him, anyway, there were no restrictions, Allen didn't refuse anyone.

"But this time building a kingdom, how come I feel like the rewards are a little less?"

Allen looked at the system and muttered to himself.

"Duke, the treasury is open!"

Boltzman ran over excitedly, but as soon as he reached the entrance of the hall, he was stopped by the Valkyries.

The treasury is open? It seems the reward has arrived.

Allen thought, and said to the Valkyries at the door: "Let him in."

"Yes, Your Majesty." They immediately retreated.

Boltzman said excitedly, "Duke, we have successfully opened the treasury, the things inside are really..."

"Duke, you should go take a look first." Boltzman couldn't help but say.

Allen wasn't very happy, after all, he had already obtained the treasure of the Addis Empire, could the Norton Kingdom's treasury compare to a kingdom?

Moreover, the Norton Kingdom had previously suffered a great battle. Many of the treasures in the treasury must have been used, it would be good if half of them were still left.

But, anyway, there was nothing to do now, Allen simply followed Boltzman out, and several Valkyries immediately followed behind.

Arriving behind the palace, at the place Allen had discovered before.
