Chapter 277 Earl, Earl

It's another early morning.

Rand led 229 elite cavalrymen to the gathering place of the defeated army.

The defeated troops did not use the entire night to escape.

Instead, they barely formed a formation.

Although many soldiers abandoned their weapons and armor in order to escape.

But there are still many weapons and armor that are complete.

These people formed a formation and pointed their spears, some tremblingly, at the elite cavalry approaching slowly.

It is still a windy day today and the wind has not weakened.

Rand did not order a charge.

Giving the order of a charge will certainly lead to victory, but there will inevitably be losses of cavalry.

Given the current situation, the loss of even a single cavalryman is unnecessary.

Rand didn't think that these soldiers, who had been chased for a whole day, had no supplies at night, and were tired and hungry, would have any morale.

Just drive the horse forward slowly.

"Move forward slowly!"

If this cavalry team wanted to form a tight formation like the Polish Winged Hussars in Rand's previous life and use the length of their weapons to slowly kill, they would not be able to get enough coordination.

But Rand doesn't need to actually practice this kind of warfare.

Sure enough, a group of knights with cloaks rustling and armor shining coldly came over like an iron wall.

Tired, hungry, and frightened, the soldiers could barely hold their weapons.

He completely forgot about the supervision team behind him, dropped his weapon and ran away.

The supervision team wielded their weapons to kill their own people without mercy.

But unfortunately, the supervision team soon had to escape.

The fleeing crowd overwhelmed them.

The weapons of the elite cavalry led by Rand were not even stained with blood.

The defeated soldiers, who had barely organized themselves, began to flee again.

Because Shelan was interested in Rand's military command, he followed him in this chase.

Now Shelan was quite glad of his cleverness.

Yes, Shelan thinks he is very smart.

Not only was he not an enemy of Rand, he had been on good terms with Rand for a long time.

Just like his father was good friends with the Black and Brown Marquis.

Otherwise, the consequences would not be much better than that of the missing Pero and these dishevelled nobles.

Rand drove away these defeated soldiers and destroyed a large number of castles and cities.

In the end, he agreed to the surrender of many nobles who were unable to run.

At this point, Rand has actually established control over this area.

The Anti-Development Committee was destroyed.

In the autumn of the 332nd year of the Holy Calendar, Wind Chaser Rand rode the wind to defeat the enemy, killing more than a thousand enemies and capturing thousands, achieving a great victory.

Unfortunately, Rand does not have enough troops to conquer the Burning Land for the time being.

After this great victory.

The territory actually controlled by Rand reached the level of earl.

However, in order to express his gratitude to Shelan for not competing with him and for fully supporting him militarily, Rand gave Shelan some land bordering the Earldom of Bucks.

Rand felt very relieved to have a trustworthy ally to help him guard the retreat.

In addition, including Rand's Full Moon Territory, New Moon Territory, Crescent Moon Territory, and the territories of the Viscounts and Barons that he had conquered, as well as the territories of captured nobles, the population is estimated to reach 50,000.

There is no specific statistics, but the data difference should not be too big.

This time they came with the army to see the world, and the top leaders of the hideout, who were originally idle, are now busy.

Now it is the turn of the White King and the Crimson King to relax.

Bolan, Karin and Rand sat in the conference room together, eating the special snacks delivered by the logistics department.

And make juice.

"The news of this battle will spread all over this area very soon. Have you decided what you want to be called, Earl?" asked the White King.

Among the top leaders of the hideout, only Olenna remained with Rand, while the others had gone to work.

Rand said without hesitation: "I want to call the Count of the Den."

The White King and Karin, who originally didn't laugh much, couldn't help but laugh.

They knew that Rand had always called the upper floor of the resort his hideout.

I didn't expect that I still can't forget this title.

Olena also frowned, showing a gentle smile, and then rejected it: "No."

Rand should be shameless. As the person closest to Rand, Olenna is very clear about this.

But she knew very well that not only her, but also the higher-ups in the den would not accept this title.

If Ellie really marries Rand in the future, and people tell others that she is called the Countess of Den, she will be too embarrassed to face anyone.

These high-level people working for Rand are called subordinates of the Count of the Den.

I am also too embarrassed to see anyone.

Then we have to compromise. Rand said helplessly: "How about calling him Count Moon Phase?"

Rand stroked his hair and said, "It's probably a full moon tonight."

In fact, the title of an earl basically depends on the name of the territory he has acquired.

Or it may be decided by the feudal lord.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

There are only very rare cases, such as Rand's.

Conquer all the chaotic territories owned by the enemy.

Although the Kingdom of Bolun and the Kingdom of Lensa will definitely not recognize it.

However, the Frost Moon Kingdom will admit it.

And since a piece of earldom has been opened up for the country, the king will definitely respect Rand's opinion on how to name it.

This will be a land of constant conflict. After all, the Kingdom of Bolen will definitely not let it go after losing such a large piece of earldom.

And their second prince died here.

However, this also means that Rand still has room to expand outward.

"What are your plans for the future?" asked the White King with a complicated expression.

Again, the White King and Rand had discussed this issue long ago.

After Rand became the Earl, he was barely qualified to marry her sister.

The White King did not intend to allow his sister to enter into a political marriage, but if Ellie were to marry a viscount, it would more or less have an impact on the reputation of both the White King and Ellie.

As a viscount, Rand definitely cannot bear so much attention.

There is no problem now, and it can also explain why Rand has so many extra guards of the White King.

"Once things are a little more stable, I'll probably come and propose marriage." Rand didn't shy away from the question.

The Nicholas family is indeed lacking a mistress.

Being without a mistress for too long will also have a great impact on the stability of the territory.

And Rand really liked Ellie.

Although Ellie, this cruel little girl, is probably the person with the lowest moral index in the entire den.

The White King said with a sour face: "I will wait for you, you..."

The White King wanted to say something threatening, but during her visit, she had observed Ellie's life.

Ellie lived happily here, and her strength grew to that of a top-level professional.

Staying here must be better than living with her in the White Country.

The White King did not continue the conversation and changed the subject, "What's next? I mean, after we eliminate the unstable factors in this land."

Rand looked at the map.

The tide of the undead is expected to reach the Southern Kingdom. Rand is actually very interested in their artifacts, whose level of completion is unknown.

And then there is the Burning Land.

He has explored during this period of time and found that the Burning Land should really be the place where the dragon fell.

If you can find enough material.

Combined with the remains of the giant snake in the hideout, maybe he could piece together a bone dragon.

Rand was silent for a while, then said, "I plan to expand into the Inland Sea, and I am also determined to conquer the Burning Land."

Then, Rand said to the White King: "The orcs in the north may be a real problem. I suggest you send more people to scout the border. The Ice Sea Kingdom may not be able to hold out for too long."

The White King smiled and said, "Okay, Lord Moon Phase Count, if I really get into trouble, I will ask for your help."

This statement is not entirely a joke.

The White King does not need Rand's military support.

But if the pressure is really great, she might need Rand's command support.

She has already witnessed Rand's command level. When the need arises, asking Rand to come and command the White Country's army will definitely improve the army's combat effectiveness.

Moreover, Rand will soon marry Ellie and command his country's army as a foreign noble, so there will be no problem with his identity.
