Wandering Knight Start: I have a simple data panel

Everyone's joys and sorrows are different, so don't be happy too early.

The envoy from Locke Kingdom was very self-aware, his face was tense and he never smiled.

In other words... the existence of the Northern Principality was just a slap in the face again and again, leaving him in no mood to laugh at all.

Next, representatives of various meritorious armies passed by one after another, basically maintaining their daily attire without any exaggeration.

Then there is the Augusta Knights. The clatter of horse hooves is very pleasant, and the knights are also very confident and relaxed.

Throughout the whole process, Derek stood at the front of the auditorium, smiling and waving.

Nothing happened, and no one came to cause trouble today.

The prelude to the celebration day is coming to an end soon, and the effect is very good.

Just looking at the scene, the smiles on the faces of the envoys from various countries were stiff. Every meritorious army had their scars stabbed again by them.

For the people of Pulan City, seeing such a powerful army with their own eyes was also an opportunity to boost their morale.

The most important thing is that the local powerful people from the northern principality are in awe.

These places are powerful and might not even have titles, so they are not worth mentioning in the eyes of the big shots.

Some are the tyrants of a village, and some are strongmen of villages and towns.

Maybe there are so many men in a family that they can dominate a village.

Or maybe he just dared to run rampant with a few swords.

But for the common people at the bottom, they have great influence.

They may not have an intuitive feeling about how powerful the Northern Principality is and how inviolable the Duke's majesty is.

So in the past year, Derek has handled many similar cases, but the local tycoons cannot be killed cleanly. Once they kill one, there will be another.

The most direct way is to let them see with their own eyes what the majesty of a duke means and what it means to abide by the law.

It’s better to see it with your own eyes than to tell it a thousand times.

For those of you who are stubborn, let me taste the sharpness of the knife on your neck.

We can't see the effect now. We will have to wait until these people return.

Finally, the new infantry regiment of Sharif and others appeared, holding rifles and helmets on their heads. Other than that, there was no extra equipment on the body.

From the appearance alone, they look like a bunch of weak chickens.

Maybe they were tired from shouting, or maybe they felt that the last group of troops were not very powerful.

The scene fell into silence.

Sharif and others remained calm, although this encounter made them a little uncomfortable.

But for well-trained soldiers, instinct is actually greater than emotion.

But soon, everyone cheered them.

It's purely a love affair with Wuji.

But for Sharif and others, it is the first time in their lives that they will not leave with regrets.

The expressions of the messengers in the stands were very interesting at this time.

The barbarian envoys stared at each other, not knowing what the Northern Principality was doing.

Most of the nobles in the Rock Kingdom have ugly faces, and there are also some who have a blank look on their faces, but not many.

The Kingdom of Holy Cross is more confused than awake.

As for the Griffin Kingdom, they were shocked and angry, but they tried hard to act calm.

"Look at them, they are so fun!"

said the Duchess, smiling, covering her mouth with a handkerchief.

From their position, they could overlook the various expression changes of the missionaries at close range, which was really interesting.

Derek turned his head and looked, obviously knowing it well.

Some of these guys really don't know, some know, and some know and pretend not to know.

This is very interesting.

Except for the Gryphon Kingdom, where Derek has very little penetration, in fact, he has people in all the major kingdoms.

Other information may be a little more difficult, but the positions of some elite craftsmen are very delicate.

Speaking of importance, the status of craftsmen is just that.

It doesn't matter, if you want to make muskets, you can't do without these skilled craftsmen.

Not to mention not being prepared unintentionally, even if you want to be prepared, it may not be effective.

Therefore, the actions that many people think are hidden are indeed ridiculous.

Derek took one look and then turned his head and said to the lady, "Like a bunch of clowns."

"Can we invite some clowns to perform tonight?" Mrs. Tiona suddenly suggested.

It was a great offer, and Derek agreed without hesitation.

"Of course, I'll send someone to find the clown right now."

In the Northern Principality, the Duke's will is the highest directive.

Not to mention finding a few clowns temporarily, you can find even three-legged toads and four-horned sheep.

With the departure of the infantry officer corps, the military parade was actually over.

Showing off force has always been a deterrent method for rulers.

Externally, tell everyone to be honest. If you don't obey, I will beat you.

Internally, those who are obedient have increased their self-confidence, while those who are disobedient do not dare to jump around.

It's okay to offend others, but it can really convince you physically if you offend the Duke.

That’s where majesty comes from.

Otherwise, do you really think that benevolence, justice and morality can solve everything?

It has not existed since the beginning of humanity.

We had a simple meal at noon and watched the civilian music parade.

News came from the Duke's temporary residence that taxes will be reduced by 10% next year.

Having fun with the people is not just a matter of words.

For Derek, the biggest tax has nothing to do with the country, as long as it can maintain the basic operation of the principality.

What really makes money is tariffs, commerce, and the principality's mines.

These are huge profits. It is too low-end to compete with the common people.

Of course, wealth is never rootless, and someone will definitely get hurt.

Whether it is the civilians of the Holy Cross Kingdom who are hurt or the nobles of the Locke Kingdom who are hurt, it has nothing to do with the great Duke Leopold.

On the contrary, the entire principality is cheering, hoping that Duke Leopold will rule forever.

This means of winning people's hearts directly made the envoys of various countries speechless.

Their king is not Derek, he does not have that courage, or even that ability.

Tax reduction?

It is no problem to reduce the taxes that the nobles have to pay. You can ask the nobles to agree to reduce the taxes that the civilians pay to them.

You are not the only one in the royal bloodline. At worst, you can just change the king.

In the afternoon, the banquet had actually started.

The envoys of various countries handed over gifts. No matter whether the Northern Principality has bullied you, you have to smile at this time.

Otherwise, don't cry when you get beaten.

Of course, along with the gifts, there are also some requests.

This kind of occasion is part of the diplomacy between the two countries.

The Barbarian envoy was the most humble, lowering his head and saying what he meant: "Your Excellency the Great Duke, the Barbarian Kingdom is willing to become a permanent friend of the Leopold Family. Please also restrain the frontline troops for the sake of friendship between the two countries and do not accept civilians who defected from our country."

This is a reasonable request, at least the Barbarian Kingdom thinks so.

In recent years, more and more barbarians have fled. The conditions of the Northern Principality are much better than those of the Barbarian Kingdom. The Duke does not discriminate, so the situation has become more and more serious.

Derrick naturally would not agree. He happened to see Dagu on duty and simply said casually: "Daggu, when you go back, check and detain the civilians who have escaped from the Barbarian Kingdom again, and send them back after identification."

Daggu was stunned, and heard Derek emphasize the word "identify", and he understood instantly.

"I will definitely...identify carefully."

Derrick knew he understood as soon as he heard it.
