Warlords: Rise From the Land of Doom

Tulip Fort.

This is a magnificent building built on the mountainside of the peak. After generations of unremitting efforts, the peak has long been flattened, and the scale of Tulip Fort has reached at least five miles in length and width.

There are not only complete defense facilities, but also many beautiful gardens.

At this time, in the conference hall of Tulip Castle, the Earl was sitting on the high platform, and an iron throne perfectly set off the imposing manner of his superior.

"Oldin, which second son's civil officer hasn't arrived?"

At this time, there were seven men standing respectfully under the Count. These people were the civil administrators of the second sons in the political performance test.

But Count Augustus clearly remembered that he had conferred the second sons of eight vassals last month.

"Go back to the Count! It's the second son of the Berwick family, named Narant Berwick!" Aldin was already happy, and Anthony was specially assigned by him to deal with Narant. This time Anthony must have done it on purpose for being late.

...

"Wow! Miss, that second son is too daring! Lord Earl is waiting here, his civil administrator is late!" At the same time, on the side of Lord Earl's iron seat, at a corner blocked by a pillar, Two women are listening in.

One of them is Miss Stella, the tulip flower.

Today's Miss Stella is wearing a long white silk dress, her golden hair is draped over her shoulders, and her blue eyes are as calm as water. At this time, her image is quite lazy and attractive, which is absolutely unimaginable for other young people. state.

If it wasn't for her father's compulsion, Stella didn't want to participate in such a boring audition.

On the contrary, the personal maid Lina was very interested in this matter, and immediately started chattering after listening to it.

...

"Berrick's second son? Let's start!" Count Augustus nodded when he heard the answer and said nothing more.

Andrew Berwick was the bravest vassal of his vassals, and Augustus was prepared to ask questions later in his favor.

"Yes! Lord Earl!" Alding smiled without a trace, and then said to the seven civil officials below: "You guys start reporting the development of the second sons last month!"

"Lord Earl, I am the civil officer of Sir Billy Lane. Last month, the Green Wood Landlord collected 20,000 catties of wheat from the serfs. After receiving the tax, Sir Sir Billy Lane used the grain as a reward and hired them in the territory. The commoners and serfs have vigorously reclaimed the wasteland, and after more than ten days of reclamation, the cultivated land of the green wood collar has increased by thousands of acres..."

"Lord Earl, I am the civil officer of Sir Dern Kirby. Last month, Gao Gang received a tax of 19,000 catties of wheat. Sir Sir used this grain to buy cattle and sheep. Now there are ten cows in the territory. Thirty sheep..."

As the civil officials reported what the second sons had done this month, the Count sitting above kept nodding their heads.

Although the second sons of the vassals were canonized this time, these second sons more or less began to work hard to develop their territories.

For example, the most dazzling one this time is the green wood collar who was the first to report. He was willing to pay taxes to the collared people instead of using his power to oppress the serfs to work. This shows that this second son is sympathetic to the people and knows The fundamentals that the territory wants to develop.

...

"Miss, who do you think has the best development among those second sons?" Lina focused on listening to the reports of the civil officials, and immediately spoke to her young lady. "Miss, I think the second son of the Greenwood Town is the most powerful. He has cultivated more than 1,000 acres of farmland in just over a month, and his territory will definitely have a bumper harvest in the fall!"

"Lina, you seem to be very concerned about the situation of these second sons?" Compared with the excitement of the personal maid, Stella was less interested. She didn't even listen carefully to the reports of several civil officials.

To be honest, not to mention the second sons of the vassals, even the eldest sons and heirs of the vassals, Stella does not look down on them.

It's not that she's aloof, but that she's seen the eldest sons of the vassals at the party a few years ago. Most of the sons are eloquent and boastful. Many of them are in their twenties, but their fighting spirit is only a bronze knight.

This only shows that these vassals and heirs spend more time on eating, drinking and enjoying themselves, and they have not worked hard to cultivate.

Although Stella is a woman, she has reached the Silver Elementary Knight through hard training.

"Oh, no! Miss, Lina is just...just..." Lina, the personal maid, blushed when Stella asked.

The reason why she is so excited is that she knows that the count is actually choosing a husband for her young lady... As a personal maid, she has to follow her for the rest of her life, so it actually has a lot to do with her...

...

"Do you have anything else you want to report?" After all the civil officials reported and submitted written records, the Count asked in a deep voice.

At present, the second sons have only arrived in the territory for a month, and there is definitely not much to report.

"Lord Earl, Sir Durn asked the villain to send some small gifts to Miss Stella!"

Hearing the inquiry, the civil officials knew that the meeting was about to end, and immediately took out the gifts prepared by the second sons.

For the second sons, winning the performance test is not the only way to win.

And another real avenue of prosperity is to win the favor of the tulip flower. As long as Miss Stella falls in love with herself, why should a baron be worried?

At that time, I am afraid that even the viscount title can be captured.

So, it was only the first month's report day, so they prepared a gift to please Miss Stella.

"Well, not bad! Tell the second sons, I will pass on Stella!" The count nodded very satisfied, these second sons are not stupid and know their true intentions.

After he finished speaking, he arranged for the servant to put away the gifts, and the count was ready to end the meeting.

"Lord Count! There is a man who claims to be the butler of the Storm Lord Castle outside asking to see him."

However, just at this moment, a guard suddenly ran out of the door and reported loudly.

"Lord of Stormwind? Isn't Baron Doc already dead?" Lord Earl was inexplicable. The last time he was named Lord of Stormwind was last year. Since the death of four lords, the Earl has completely abandoned the land of doom.

"My lord, the castle steward said his lord's name was Narant Berwick!" The guard didn't know the situation, so he could only answer truthfully.

"Narant Berwick? It was assigned to the Storm Territory?" Lord Earl couldn't believe his ears.

The civilian officials below were also stunned.

In order to prevent unfair things from happening in this competition, the distribution of the territories of the second sons was only really revealed after they set off. Except for Alding, who handled it, no one else could know.

"Olding, what's going on?" When the earl heard that it was the Berwick family again, he immediately frowned and looked at Ording.

"Lord Count, I remember now, that Narant seems to have been assigned to the Storm Territory. This is because one of my servants recorded the wrong address! But by the time I know, that Narant has already set off. It's gone!"

"For this, I have punished the erring servant and sentenced him to hang!"

Alding hurriedly put on a terrified expression to answer the explanation.

"After such a mistake, why didn't you report it to me?" Lord Earl glared at his own younger brother.

"Lord Count, I originally wanted to report to you, but it happened to be the day when taxes were collected for the first half of the year. I was busy and forgot! Alding knew his mistake, please forgive the Count!" Alding knelt on the ground .

"Humph!" Lord Earl frowned and snorted coldly.

However, Alding is a viscount and his own younger brother after all. It is impossible for him to treat him in front of so many people. In the end, Augustus suppressed his anger and instructed the guard: "Let that castle steward come in. !"
