Chapter 191 Rewards, Elves, Ancient Weapons (asking for monthly tickets)

Rand spent half a ridiculous winter. It turned out that the blessing bestowed by the Mother Goddess was still very powerful. His physical fitness and recovery ability were far beyond those of ordinary people.

Now the reward has finally come.

Rand's adjutant was replaced by Lysa today.

Or should I say, Lelena? Anyway, today she got out a brown wig from somewhere and put it on her head, and changed her clothes into the style that Olena often wore.

He imitated Olenna's posture and stood beside Rand.

However, with cat ears and a cat tail, Lisa can now control the tail with ease. At least she can control the tail to stand up or hang down, or even roll up something.

Now Lysa was tickling Rand's chest with her tail.

But apart from that, today's Lysa was still quite serious. At this moment, Lysa was reporting the reward matters to Rand.

Theoretically, this military friction will not create any new territory, and there will be no extra territory to be awarded domestically.

The territory is property, not an official position, and the king does not have the power to take it back or grant it at will.

However, the king can still perform some operations, such as rewarding non-national territories to nobles.

Rand grabbed Lysa's tail and motioned for her to behave herself.

Lysa screamed because her tail was pulled, and after giving Rand a look of resentment, she let Rand hold the tail plug in his hand and continued to talk about the reward: "So, His Majesty the King has made some rewards that will definitely cause territorial disputes."

"Me, Shelan, the eldest son of Earl of the Stag, and Pero, the second son of Earl of the Flying Fox?" Rand asked.

Lisa nodded. As for the other nobles who participated in the war, most of what they gained were treasures, livestock and people.

Among them, the Black and Brown Marquis received the most recognition.

The Marquis of Black and Brown is a brother-in-law of the current king. He made great contributions during the civil war and was already deeply trusted. Later, when the Marquis of Black and Brown legally integrated the original earldom and the newly acquired territory into the current Marquis of Black and Brown, the king also contributed.

However, there was no land reward this time. One reason was that the fiefdom of the Black and Brown Marquis was already large enough. Secondly, it was an enclave without legal basis. It would be troublesome for the current Black and Brown Marquis. If he really wanted to obtain the fiefdom, he would have to spend a lot of manpower and resources to defend it, and he might not be able to keep it.

The Marquis of Black and Brown will not live for many more years, and the situation of his remaining sons is really hard to describe.

"The specific reward is..." Lisa continued to explain the reward document.

The land awarded was the result of the last victory.

In the last civil war, every side won, and the Southern Kingdom was busy with the gold mine war and had no time to pay attention to the North.

Therefore, most of the nobles in the Southern Kingdom retreated.

For example, the Snow Fox Countess retreated a long distance, leaving enough buffer space, and then began to build a defense line.

Other countries in the Southern Kingdom also retreated a distance.

Of course, this is only limited to the great nobles. The smaller nobles, such as barons and viscounts, are still holding out. If they retreat, it would be tantamount to giving up their entire territories, which they absolutely cannot accept.

Now the small nobles bordering the Frost Moon Kingdom are all worried, fearing that the Frost Moon Kingdom will really expand its territory to the south.

In fact, the Frost Moon Kingdom does want to expand its territory.

Rand, Shelan and Count Feihu's second son Pero all received a fiefdom the size of a viscountship, which was euphemistically called the pioneering territory.

The three nobles who acquired new territories were allowed to expand southwards.

In theory, a pioneer territory is generally a knight territory. Generally, when a country wants to develop an area where it has no sovereignty, it will issue such a pioneering order.

Then, some noble knights or noble heirs with later inheritance rights will, with the support of their parents, take the pioneering orders to pursue their dreams.

The success rate was very low, but there were some who succeeded, some even becoming border earls.

But that is a bit more difficult for unsovereign territories, which means there will be some harassment from orcs and murlocs.

As it is now, expanding the territory of other countries is very interesting and humiliating.

Similarly, since these lands are not unowned, they certainly cannot be issued to new nobles. Otherwise, the dozens of troops of the pioneering knights will be destroyed if they lose any of their troops when facing the border nobles of the southern kingdom, and there will be no possibility of taking root.

This conflict is, in a sense, also a test. Only nobles with sufficient strength and military command capabilities are qualified to participate in the Frost Moon Kingdom's attempt to invade the Southern Kingdom's territory.

Of course, you also need a background. Otherwise, without the strong support of the nobles, it would be a pipe dream to gain a foothold.

Originally, there was no place for Rand. The three people originally scheduled to develop the south were the second prince, Shelan and Pero, who would attempt to expand outward with the royal territory as the core.

But the second prince proved with his strength that he was not capable of this task.

However, Rand's performance in this military friction was too amazing, and with the support of Earl Stag, Marquis Black and Brown and many military nobles, he was able to get this opportunity instead of the Second Prince.

Although Rand was not particularly interested in this opportunity, his Crescent Territory had only been developed for less than a year, the population carrying capacity was far from reaching its limit, and the road to the White Kingdom had not been completed.

Now he has come to a new territory. Although there is no legal basis, it is still very difficult for a small viscount like Rand.

And Rand is the most risky of the three nobles because he has no backup.

When one reaches the level of earl, the military strength will increase sharply, and there will be some special elite troops, such as the wild boar cavalry of the Marquis of Black and Brown.

The Black and Brown Marquis's boar cavalry has the disadvantage of not being able to leave the territory too far, but other nobles' special forces may not have this problem.

Only with such military strength as a background can it be possible to gain a foothold on the border. Rand still has a long way to go.

But now that he has this opportunity, Rand will definitely not give it up. Once he has eaten it, there is no reason to spit it out.

Besides, Rand is very rich now. At worst, he can use mercenaries or borrow soldiers from the surrounding nobles. In short, there are solutions if there are real problems.

"Is there anything else?" Rand pinched Lisa's cat tail and kneaded it a few times. It had a strong mechanical texture and seemed to be quite strong as well.

"Yes." Lysa pulled the tail back with her hand. "The North is in turmoil. The orcs and trolls are more violent than usual."

Is it coming?

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Rand knows something about the general situation of this world. After all, although he is a cloud player, he will still watch the "Deep Moon" expansion pack updates, major version changes, and Rand's version PV.

The first expansion pack was "Rampage of Realms", the second was "Chaos in the Land", and the orc riots and invasions meant the first expansion pack was coming to an end.

The northernmost Ice Sea Kingdom is in trouble.

Several other countries close to the north will also be troublesome, but Rand is not sure about the specific situation. Based on his impression from his previous life, the White Country will probably be in some trouble as well.

However, it will still be some time before the orcs really invade the south. By that time, the road to the White Kingdom will be almost completed, and maybe Rand can help.

It should also be mentioned here that the troops going to the northern border to garrison set out in autumn and return in winter, but in fact, the people who set out and return are not the same group of people. The troops going to the northern border will probably be stationed in the northern border for three years, and then they will return after the replacement troops are in place.

During the last civil war in the Frost Moon Kingdom, more people were brought back, and they were later replenished when the civil war ended.

The Northern Alliance has always taken the threat from the North very seriously, but after so many years, the various countries are still not subordinate to each other. Before new bloody lessons emerge, there will always be slackness and flaws.

Just as Lysa was explaining the recent situation to Rand in a professional tone, Elsa walked in.

As soon as she walked in, Elsa rubbed her eyes. She had just seen Olenna in the office, so why did she appear here again? And wasn't it Lisa who was on shift today?

Olenna actually started wearing cat ears and "equipped" herself with a cat tail. It's really scary. There's one more pervert in the den.

And it is very likely that he would be forced by Rand to do such a thing. Rand has been seriously corrupted by Lysa and is becoming more and more perverted.

It's really scary.

"Oleanna" turned her head and looked at Elsa with a serious face.

Elsa's expression suddenly became tense. She saw Lisa's iconic golden eyes and the beautiful elf-like face.

It turned out to be Lisa. That was nothing strange. Now Elsa really wanted Olenna to see Lisa today.

Elsa forced herself to control her expression and prepared to report the situation first: "Something went wrong in the ruins. Adventurers on the ninth floor said they felt strong and regular vibrations. They speculated that there was a giant creature on the tenth floor."

Rand knew what was going on. There was another golem on the tenth floor, also a magic steel golem. Ordinary adventurers would definitely not be able to deal with it. "I ask the adventurers not to challenge the boss on the ninth floor. The rest can proceed as usual."

Erza turned her gaze back to Ryza.

And at this moment, Lisa also understood what Elsa wanted to do.

Lysa jumped lightly, trying to escape, but failed.

Elsa reached out her hand and a mechanical cat tail appeared in her hand, with a sticky end.

It took Lysa a while to relieve the feeling of emptiness and regain her balance, then she looked at Elsa with a stern face. Now she had the responsibility to protect Rand and could not chase too far.

Elsa raised the cat's tail in her hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't flee from this area."

Rand watched from the side. There was nothing busy at the moment, so he thought it would be nice to have some fun.

Rysa took out several mechanical accessories from the cabinet behind the giant lord's chair and put them on slowly. She had previously forced Elsa to help her test the practicality of the mechanical accessories, and Elsa agreed, but she didn't expect it to be this way.

It is said to be a mechanical accessory, but in fact it is just a shoulder armor with a snake-like mechanical arm on it. Under Ryza's control, the mechanical arm is aimed at Elsa.

Elsa did not use the dagger, nor did she mind the stickiness of the mechanical cat's tail, so she pinched the end and used it as a whip.

The war of the century was about to break out, and Rand sat on the giant lord's chair, ready to watch and learn. The battles between top professionals were very rare, although Elsa and Lisa were not standard top professionals.
