Lord Harland.

Chapter 177 Exposed Contradictions
After successfully killing De Lunxi, Li Cha once again made a miracle.

Now his meritorious service is enough to be awarded two baronies, plus Richard's original territory.

According to Grant's law, with three baronies, one can be promoted to viscount.

Viscounts have more voting power in the House of Lords than barons.

A baron has only one vote in the council of nobles, while a viscount has five votes.

If Richard's title is promoted to viscount, the Harland family will have one viscount, two barons, and seven votes in the noble council.

The combined hereditary nobles in Gerda Province only had 46 votes.The status of the Harland family will become extremely important in Gerda Province.

There is no legal threshold for a baron to be promoted to a viscount, as long as he has three territories, he can be promoted.

However, after being promoted to viscount, one has to take responsibility after enjoying the obligation.

If they are recruited by the royal family, they must provide a brigade of troops, even if they are serf soldiers, the responsibility is increased tenfold.

The Harland family is strong and strong, and Richard is not afraid of taking responsibility.

After getting the head of Delunsi, Richard did not send it to Spencer, the Mayor of Heihe County.

Who knows if Spencer is Jerram's confidant, an official of Prince Felix's faction.If Spencer embezzled the military exploits, he would have to go to the noble council to file a lawsuit.It is also very troublesome to dredge the relationship and find someone.

Li Cha directly handed over De Lunce's head to William, and claimed credit through the relationship of the Northern Army.

Although this is somewhat against the rules, it almost directly shows the nobles' distrust of local bureaucrats.

But Li Cha would rather expose this contradiction to his superiors than ask for trouble by asking for credit through Heihe County and Geda Province.

The credit was deducted last time, and Li Cha no longer trusts the bureaucrats in Heihe County and Gerda Province.

If the king doesn't give him a satisfactory answer this time, don't blame Li Cha for not being careful in future battles.

Today, the army in the territory of Harland is a very important force in the province of Gerda, the pillar of the coalition forces of the nobles.

The soldiers under Li Cha's command played a key role in the Northern Army's success this time.

If he chooses to paddle in this battle, Marurand captures Platos Castle and joins the main force of Drunci, and the orcs will increase the strength of three brigades in Black River Fort.

With an increase of [-] main forces, Maruland's department will cooperate with Gunderson to defeat Viscount Roman and clean up the periphery of Black River Fort.The orcs may capture Heihe Fort, wipe out the Northern Army, rush into the Dragon Canyon, and corrupt the province of Gerda.

Li Cha didn't believe it either, the king didn't understand people.

If the meritorious nobles on the border were suppressed wantonly because of a little personal grievance, the Kingdom of Grant would not be able to defend the northern border.

The pillar of the royal family, the Duke of Brenner, is still alive. He was the commander-in-chief of the army more than 100 years ago, and he knows the morale of the soldiers on the battlefield very well.He is a real understanding person.

This time Li Cha was deliberately unconventional, just to tell the capital that there is no possibility of cooperating with local bureaucrats.

If the king doesn't care about it, Li Cha will keep it in mind. From now on, he will devote himself to guarding the territory, and if he goes out of the territory, he will just fool around.

Li Cha is just a small nobleman, if the overall situation in northern Xinjiang is corrupted, who will be distressed in the end?

There is no shortage of capable nobles at all, and the Grant Kingdom can no longer survive, so they can go to other kingdoms, or start over, anyway, Richard is still young.

Li Cha's attitude gave William a headache.

William and Richard passed several letters, and his opinion was to compromise with the Huolan family, give some gifts, say a few good words, and bow down to get the understanding of the Huolan family.

There is no need for Li Cha to come forward for the specific communication, William will communicate with the new provincial commander.

But Li Cha insisted on his own opinion. If William did not cooperate, he would directly take De Lunce's head to the noble meeting to register his military exploits.

In desperation, William had no choice but to agree to Richard's request and communicate with the upper echelon of the Grant Kingdom through the legion commander Zachary.

Sure enough, Richard directly stated his non-cooperative attitude, which alarmed the top management of Grant Kingdom.

When King Charles saw a small baron, he disobeyed the management. He originally planned to give Richard a good look, but Duke Brenner went to the king's bedroom in person.

Seeing King Charles, Duke Brenner didn't have any respect for the king, and asked bluntly: "Richard, the nobleman of Heihe County, who decided to suppress his meritorious deeds?"

Seeing that King Charles was a little confused, Duke Brenner raised the marshal's scepter, slammed the floor hard, and asked sharply.

"Who the hell? Tell the truth!"

The Duke of Brenner is the real patron saint of the Grant royal family. Only when he is in the royal family can the nobles be suppressed, and the prosperity of the past 100 years can only be achieved.

Even without the legendary strength and the halo of a famous general, the descendants of Marshal Brener are still a powerful faction in the Grant royal family.

Pansy Grant, the president of the Grant Kingdom Magic Association, is his descendant, and the Duke of York is also his descendant.

The old duke had 63 sons, more than 300 grandchildren, [-] great-grandchildren, plus thousands of great-great-grandchildren in the next generation.

There are thousands of his direct descendants, almost all of them are professionals, and many of them are officers of the Royal Guards. They are the basic base of the royal family and the core of ruling the country.

If King Charlie is disobedient, Marshal Brener has enough strength to make substitutions.

"It's Belet Holland, he is the consul of the Gedda province, and he suppressed Baron Richard's exploits."

Seeing that Marshal Brenner was angry, King Charles did not dare to tell lies due to his previous power, so he immediately confessed the truth.

"Why did you agree?"

"Belet Horan is the provincial commander I appointed, and I need to trust his judgment."

"Do you understand Baron Richard's military exploits?"

"He wiped out four thousand orcs, of course I know?"

When Marshal Brenner heard this, he was instantly furious, his brain was hit hard, and his eyes were filled with stares.He raised his scepter violently and knocked King Charles to the ground.

Although King Charlie is a sixth-level knight, his strength is far inferior to that of the third-level legendary Marshal Brenner, although the marshal is aging and his physical condition is declining.The powerful force made King Charles unable to contend at all.

Brenner broke King Charlie's arm with a scepter, and cursed fiercely: "You have been king for 30 years, and you don't understand anything. I don't even know why you supported this trash back then? Why don't you Kill him and let Roger come back to be the king. At least he understands military affairs and won't let the people below fool him."

After breaking King Charlie's arm, Marshal Brenner was still unrepentant and kept cursing.

"If I had known that Louis' grandson was so useless, I might as well have been king back then.

In the Dawn Continent, the king can be ignorant, cruel, and play with women.But you must master power, you must understand the military, and you must be able to grasp the morale of the army.

A king relies on violence for his authority, and the greatest violence is the army.One of the most important tasks in controlling the army well is fair rewards and punishments.

For those who have made military exploits, we cannot blatantly suppress them. Doing so will hurt morale and the morale of the army.After a few times, you will have no prestige in the army.

It is very dangerous to lose the morale of the army and not be able to suppress the army.

The officers who rose from the war are very dangerous people. Once you lose the morale of the army, someone will replace you.At that time, the country will change masters.Do you understand this?
Two people played a key role in the success of the battle in Gerda province. The first one was the Baron Richard, and the second one was the commander of the Zachary Army.As your appointed cronies, you should trust Zachary's judgment, not the local bureaucrats.How can you be so useless after sitting on the throne for 30 years? "
