The witch thought I am a Demon God
Chapter 317 Looking for a reason to declare war
The next day, Ivita asked Captain Sam to lead three two-masted ships to the volcanic island on the Wufang Sea to find the two knights of the Persepolis family and the ranger Servilia. He wanted to wait for these three people to come together. , and asked his subordinates to wait for a few days as a reason for enfeoffment.
In the past few days, the old Baron Anto was almost worried to death. That morning, he handed in a preliminary questionnaire in Ivita's study, which listed some landowners' possible influence on Ivita's rule. threats, as well as their crimes of bullying superiors and subordinates, as a reason to deprive and reduce the territory they hold.
In this way, Ivita can take the opportunity to directly control this newly acquired territory.
It's a pity that old Baron Anto suffered a lot. He was scolded by countless people for this, and many of his former friends came to his house and asked him to show his favor. However, old Baron Anto knew that as long as he bent the law for personal gain, he would be punished. Ivita had reason to get rid of this old cunning and overly authoritative old lord.
It was a conspiracy in itself for Ivita to give him this kind of job.
If he doesn't do well, we can take the opportunity to get rid of this old local snake. He did so well that he took the blame for helping Ivita clean up the territory. He took all the hatred in the territory, but the benefits were all Ivita's.
But now he can only choose between dying by himself or offending others to death and being a lonely minister.
And he chose the path of letting others die and becoming a lonely minister himself.
Ivita read the form brought up by Old Baron Anto and nodded. "You're doing a good job, and you seem to be very conscious. Then I understand, and I accept you."
"Keep doing this."
"Sit down."
A smile appeared on Old Baron Anto's face, which meant that Ivita had accepted him as a confidant. It also meant that Ivita's administrative ability was far beyond that of the Valji family, who was born as a pirate.
He found a seat and sat down. "Thank you Lord, I have stayed in this territory all my life, half of my body has been buried in the ground, and there is really no other place to go, so I will definitely be loyal to you, Lord."
Iveta said seemingly unintentionally: "What has Baron Yinshan been doing recently? I saw that he was very dissatisfied with me at the meeting that day."
"You don't seem to be investigating him."
Old Baron Antuo touched his beard and said to Ivita: "Lord Ivita, it's like this. In fact, that boy of Baron Yinshan - please allow me to call him that, because compared to my age, he is more important to me. What a young man."
"Baron Yinshan has no scheming intentions. He was instigated by others before. In fact, he is a more loyal lord to you."
"There is a saying that goes well, if a biting dog doesn't bark, he will just bark and not take any actual action. If you give him an order, he will not resist at all."
Ivita nodded. "I see, I trust your judgment. There is one more thing."
"You said..." Old Baron Anto sat on the chair, stretched his neck, and looked like he was listening. He had completely regarded himself as Ivita's confidant. Now that he has drawn the hatred of all the landowners in the territory and is not attached to Ivita, he is really in danger. He might be beaten up one day when he goes out.
Since ancient times, people who do inventory work have been quite hated.
Ivita glanced at him. "Old Baron, I don't like people disrespecting my lords. Please don't describe Baron Yinshan as a dog. This makes me uncomfortable."
"Is that okay? I think mutual respect is the prerequisite for us to get along well."
Old Baron Anto suppressed his smile. He stood up, bowed to Ivita, and performed a noble etiquette. When he performed this ritual, he felt a little like he was in another world.
Cross Island has been in disarray for a long time.
But now, he feels that his superior lord is a true nobleman, and even has the magnanimity that a king should have.
"I apologize for my rudeness in front of you." Old Baron Anto showed more respect for Ivita and said: "I would like to express my welcome to you again and welcome you to rule our territory."
Ivita nodded. "One more thing. You are familiar with the nearby territory. I want to ask, which neighbor do you think we should annex?"
Annexation? ?
Old Baron Anto didn't like war very much, but he was a knight lord after all, so he hesitated and said: "There are not many powerful armies in the nearby viscounty territories, but behind them are families about the same size as the Valji family. "
"These smuggler families should be ready to defend you now. If we start a war at this time, even if you win, you will suffer huge losses and the gain will not be worth the loss."
Ivita understood what he meant, "I know."
"Go ahead."
Old Baron Anto didn't say much and immediately left the study respectfully.
In the study, Iveta sat on a wooden bench with her legs crossed, writing on a white paper and thinking about strategies.
He must gather a county.
Moreover, in other areas with stable order, it is more difficult for him to obtain the earldom. On the contrary, here, he can declare war at will, but he just has to think about whether he can win.
Declaring war on neighbors now can easily turn into a situation where the other parties unite and block oneself.
Ivita said distressedly: "If we have to think of another way, it would be best if someone could take the initiative to launch a war against me."
"In the afternoon, let's go see my two students and the thousands of troops directly under this territory."
…
In the afternoon, at the manor in the Viscount of Kongs, Ivita watched Juno Foval use the spell to summon a small water element and successfully summoned a small water element. This small water element is about the size of a sneaker and has a cute and naive appearance. When walking, it looks like a slowly moving water polo.
Juno Foval asked Ivita with a flattering expectation: "Teacher, what do you think of my magic?"
Ivita thought for a moment. "good."
"I didn't expect you to be able to summon a small water element in such a short period of time."
"You can be considered a half-magic genius... I guess so... I don't know much about the speed at which normal people learn magic..."
So he has no idea.
"Thank you, teacher~" Juno jumped up. She admired Ivita more and more, especially after Ivita destroyed the Valji family, which was larger than the Fuvar family.
The Hearthstone Witch almost died laughing when she saw Ivita commenting on her student as a magic genius. Who is the genius? It only took half a year to become a second-level wizard with six magic sources.
It's simply appalling.
The Hearthstone Witch looked at Juno with disdain: "I used a protective agent and a small magic potion to achieve this level. There is nothing to brag about."
Juno suppressed her blush and pointed at Arabi: "Hearthstone Witch, she can't even summon a small water element!"
Juno was already annoyed with the Hearthstone Witch. She wanted Ivita's attention, but the Hearthstone Witch belittled her in public. Of course, Juno was not stupid enough to show dissatisfaction in front of the first fourth-level witch, so she quickly moved out of Arabi.
