Working Prophet.

Before the banquet ended, Hells finally mentioned the matter of the reward, and the female lord beside him immediately put down the wine in her hand and pricked up her ears.

Hells once again highly praised Ilea and the army she led for their outstanding performance in the previous battle, thanking them for defeating the invaders and defending the western border.

Afterwards, it was announced that a bounty of four golden lions would be issued to all fighters who went to the Dragon's Back Mountains, regardless of whether they were dead or alive.

Before he finished speaking, he won the applause of the whole hall.

Because the recipients of the rewards mentioned by Hells are not only the 5000 people brought by Miss Rabbit, but also the [-] troops who initially followed the Marquis of Cullen, including those who died in battle, can be rewarded.

After a simple calculation by the female lord, the Figuerola family needs to spend more than 6 golden lions this time, which is undoubtedly a huge sum of money.

I believe those fighters who got the money and their families will be very grateful to Hells.

However, according to the tradition of the Western Region, usually these rewards would be given to the lords leading the troops first, and then they would distribute them to their subordinates.

This time, Hells directly stepped in to help everyone distribute the money. Although the nobles felt a little strange, they didn't think much about it.

After all, not long after the Marquis of Cullen died, Hells became the owner of this piece of land. It was the first time he did this kind of thing, and it was understandable for him to make a small mistake.

However, the female lord was still a little confused, because before entering the mountain, she had promised that every enemy killed would be rewarded with two golden lions, but Hells now gave each person four golden lions, which felt like Deliberately trying to overwhelm her.

This thought just flashed through Miss Rabbit's mind, and then she saw Hells looking at her again with a serious face.

"Sir Ilea, you are the commander of this army. You have contributed the most to defeating the plot of those dwarves to invade the Western Territory this time, and this is the second time you have saved the Western Territory. Everyone in this land respects you Be grateful."

"This... is not as exaggerated as you said." Miss Rabbit said modestly.

That being said, the young girl's face was glowing red now, and the ears on her head were shaking involuntarily.

Anyone who knows the female lord knows that she is indeed very proud now, especially when she heard Hells say.

"These days I have been discussing with several important ministers in the city how to reward you, and we all agree that we must come up with a reward of sufficient weight."

"Ah, I'm so sorry, I'm going to cost you again, hahahaha, but then again, how much is the big reward?"

Miss Rabbit did not forget to ask the number after laughing.

However, Hells said, "It's not money. As far as I know, you don't need money anymore, so this time I decided to reward you with another piece of land."

"Land?" The female lord was taken aback.

More than 900 years have passed since the founding of the empire, and there is no unclaimed land in the western border.Therefore, it is becoming more and more difficult for the major families to expand their territories, and it has almost become an impossible thing.

From this perspective, land is indeed very precious.

However, Miss Rabbit doesn't know if she has a special relationship with the land recently. This is the second piece of land she has obtained in a short time.

"I don't know which piece of land you intend to confiscate to me, Lord Hells." The female lord asked.

"Just about three days ago, Wilkin, the patriarch of the Kowat family, found me and said that he and his family were no longer able to serve the Figuerola family, so he decided to return his fief." Hells said. .

"You promised him?"

"No, the ancestors of the Kowat family came to the western border with my ancestors. It is precisely because of their bloody battles that the prosperity and stability of this land now exist.

"Moreover, the Kovat family has remained loyal to the Figuerola family for hundreds of years. Now that they have encountered difficulties, I, as their lord, cannot sit idly by."

"So after taking back their fiefdom, I decided to give Acorn Castle to them. The original owner of the castle, Hugo, the Patriarch of the Weir family, betrayed my father.

"I have sent an army to attack him, and Wilkin has gone with him. He will be the next master of that castle."

"However, in this way, Stone Fortress has become a land of no man. Considering that it is located in the westernmost part of the empire's territory, and is only separated from the Dwarf Kingdom by the Dragon's Back Mountain Range, I hope to find someone who is good at fighting. The lord guards there.

"And you are the first thing I think of, Ser Ilea."

Miss Rabbit frowned when she heard this. If she had a choice, she actually wanted money more than land, although the latter was obviously more valuable in terms of value.

After all, in the Red Lion Empire, you can exchange land for money, but no matter how much money you have, it is difficult to buy land.

And unlike Crab Point, which is far away in the new land, Fort Hard Rock is not far from the green field, only four or five days away.

But because it is located on the westernmost border of the empire, and there are no special products, no one will go there except for some really idle travelers.

In addition, as Hells said, it is very close to the Dwarf Kingdom. It was fine when the two sides were at peace before. Now that the Marquis of Cullen died, the relationship between the West Territory and the Dwarf Kingdom immediately became tense.

The Fortress of the Rock has become more important in the military, but it has been ransacked by savages before, and it is almost no different from a piece of white land.

If the female lord really wants to take over that piece of land, it will cost a lot of money to build forts and station troops on it.

The female lord feels that this deal is not very cost-effective, but the previous bragging of the nobles including Hells has almost blown her into the patron saint of the western region.

Now Miss Rabbit can't find a reason to refuse Hells's reward. In addition, judging from the state of the new head of the Figuerola family, it seems that she is determined not to pay for her anymore.

So the female lord finally accepted her new fiefdom, adding a Baron of Fortress to her already long title.

When Li Yu came to work in the evening, the girl recounted what happened during the day to the prophet of the Shuangxiu Church, and said while hugging her knees on the bed.

"Really, originally I just wanted some money. Just like the last time I slayed the dragon, the Figueirola family gave me [-] without hesitation. Why did I become so stingy this time?"

Li Yu listened quietly to Miss Rabbit's complaints, and then said, "That's because your reputation is not the same as before."
