Elf Lord, intelligence updated daily.

Chapter 103 Earl
In the ensuing chaos, Viscount Jon rallied to defend against Loren's sudden attack.

Having lost the initiative, he was uncontrollably lifted into the air by the sword energy.

What do you mean, starting at 0 frames?
Isn't it still the Silver Moon Sword Technique?

It's nothing more than launching a sneak attack when he's not paying attention!

Loren is gathering his fiery battle aura.

This is a move that Lolina used in the last knight duel.

Fiery Dragon Breaks the Army!

Loren's attack was timed particularly cleverly, precisely when Jon had an opening he couldn't easily dodge.

Jon quickly regained his footing and gathered his energy again.

The Silver Moon Sword Technique is not scary.

The moment he could neutralize Yanlong's attack was the moment to launch his counterattack!

A fiery dragon attacked, and Jon fought back with all his might.

However, the expected shock did not occur.

That's it?

Is this all the power of the Flaming Dragon Breaking Army?

of course not!

Because Loren's attack was a step too slow.

What Jon saw at first was merely a phantom created by Loren through the psychedelic veil.

Just as Jon was about to lower his guard and launch a counterattack.

The real Fiery Dragon Breaking Army then attacked.

Having landed a successful blow, Loren continued, "The second move is called the Fast and Slow Blade."

The Flaming Dragon Breaking Army is incredibly powerful.

Moreover, Loren's attack was also infused with fire magic.

Jon was attacked the moment he lowered his defenses and was sent flying backward.

After this exchange, the battle was over.

Jon is destined to be unable to compete with Loren anymore.

After falling into a disadvantageous position, he was defeated by Loren's repeated attacks.

Loren won without a scratch.

The title of Earl was thus established.

"This is unfair! This brat has no chivalry whatsoever! How can a knightly duel be a sudden sneak attack? Your Majesty, I request that the duel be rescheduled!"

Viscount Jon was very dissatisfied.

If it were a head-on confrontation, losing would be fine.

But Loren attacked him with a sneak attack and used trickery, so he lost in a frustrating way!

Celucia stood up, her cool voice echoing throughout the training ground, "The duel is over. Don't make trouble and lose your noble demeanor."

Viscount Jon turned pale and bowed his head in apology.

Even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to talk back to the Elf Queen.

After the duel ended, the investiture ceremony of Loren began.

Celia transformed into green fluorescence and appeared before Loren.

Loren knelt on one knee, performed the knightly salute, and swore eternal allegiance to the Elven Kingdom.

Effective immediately, Loren Silvermoon has officially become the lord of the new Earldom of the Elf Kingdom.

The new Earl's territory includes Sandstone Town, Coastal Town, Seaport City, East Coast, Centaur Village, Cat and Dog Village, Snake Village, Boarman Territory, and the coastal area of ​​the Elven Sea within the kingdom.

Six regions, including the Kobold Territory, were placed under the jurisdiction of the Silvermoon Earl.

Some of the territory was also allocated to the Duchy of Starshine.

The remaining territories will not be allocated for the time being, and will be reserved as a buffer zone between the Elf Kingdom and the Orc Tribe.

The allocation of territories was related to performance in the second round of the earl election.

The Elf Queen has always allocated territories based on the points awarded in the second round.

The higher your score, the more territory you can acquire.

Loren earned a total of 6 points.

In addition to his and Loris's own territories, the Earldom has added six new regions.

Some of the territory that previously belonged to the Silvermoon Earl's domain has also been incorporated into Loren's territory.

Loren named his new territory "Elven Earldom".

Next, the Elf Kingdom will focus on developing the various territories that fall under the jurisdiction of the Earl's Domain and the Duchy.

After the investiture ceremony, the next step is to confer titles of baron and viscount.

Loran and Lolina had accumulated many military achievements, and Lorton recommended them for promotion to viscount.

As the new Earl, Loren also has the right to make the recommendation.

He recommended Loris for promotion to Viscount.

I recommend that Xuefu, Liz, Lilia, and Baixi be promoted to Baron.

They could all become lords of other territories within the earldom.

Loren's recommendation was not fully approved. Lilia and Bai Xi did not belong to the Elf Kingdom and could not easily obtain noble status.

Liz and Shirley didn't have this restriction.

As the investiture ceremony drew to a close, Serusia hosted a grand banquet for the nobles at the Elf Castle, bringing the celebration to a perfect end.

Loren was somewhat dazed.

He had only been a baron for a short time; I never expected him to be promoted to earl so quickly.

Although his territory was likely the smallest earldom in history.

However, there will be plenty of opportunities to expand our territory in the future.

After the investiture ceremony concluded, Loren followed Loton's entourage back to Silvermoon Castle for another celebration.

Lorton spoke to Loren about many issues related to territory development.

Most of the time, they consider things from the perspective of the entire family.

Especially Lord.

Loren was able to be promoted to earl largely because Lord did not take advantage of his vulnerability.

Although they are brothers.

But most people wouldn't stop at that point.

Even if Lord wins the duel while he's breaking through, no one will blame him.

However, considering the future of the entire family, Lord did not hesitate at all.

For this reason alone, Loren greatly admired this older brother.

After the banquet, Loren set off for Sandstone Town.

Next, he plans to develop the entire Elven Earldom, just as he developed Sandstone Town.

There's no need to worry about the coastal towns, port cities, and the east coast. The key is the four territories of the orc tribe.

On the way back, Loren obtained new intelligence.

[Monthly information updated]

[Intelligence 1]: Hela has discovered a great elf in the Elf Sea. She has decided to take advantage of you when you return.

[Intelligence 2]: Cold Frost went to the Demon Flame Dragon Cave and encountered a legendary team that was fighting the Demon Dragon. After a difficult time forcing them back, she was severely injured again.

[Intelligence 3]: The boar people in the boar people region are plotting a rebellion.

[Intelligence 4]: Mil left the Ice Empire and arrived in Sandstone Town, where she decided to settle down.

[Intelligence 5]: The Elf Queen will arrive in the Elf Earl's Territory this month to offer her elven blessings to the new territory.

Cold Frost was as unlucky as ever.

Having finally arrived at the Demon Flame Dragon Cave, they just happened to run into a legendary team that was slaying the demon dragon. What kind of luck is this?
This team is no pushover either.

Leng Shuang was, after all, a dragon at the half-step Dragon King level, yet they were able to contend with her.

It seems there are many powerful experts on the human continent.

It's not surprising that wild boars rebelled.

After all, it was newly conquered territory, and they wouldn't submit so easily.

The remaining boarmen were not very strong and were not difficult to deal with.

Of all this intelligence, the one we need to pay the most attention to is Mil.

Loren remembered that she was the Ice Queen in disguise, and could not be easily offended.

What is she doing in Shashi Town?
Back in Shashi Town.

As soon as Lolis got off the bus, she ran straight to the food street.

Lilia is the same.

Although these two guys don't get along, they have surprisingly similar interests.

Loren and Shirley prepared to return to their office to discuss the next phase of the construction plan.

Mill was strolling around the castle.

"Miss Mil, what brings you here?"

Mill looked at Snow behind Loren and said, "Loren, is this your fiancée? She's really beautiful."

Xuefu looked at Loren in confusion, "She is..."

“She is a friend I met in the Ice Empire, Mir.”

Xuefu greeted her warmly, "Hello, Miss Mier, is there something you need from Loren?"

Mil looked dejected. "He promised to go back to the Ice Empire to find me, but he hasn't come back yet..."

Xuefu looked at Loren again, her eyes strange, "What did you do to him?"

Loren wished he could expose Mil's true identity on the spot.

Finally I held back.

"Miss Mil, don't say things that are easy to misunderstand. What exactly do you want to do in Sandstone Town?"

"I'm not doing anything, I just want to stay and keep you company."

"You've lived in the Ice and Snow Empire since you were a child. Can you adapt to the climate of Sandstone Town?"

"I will work hard."

Loren really didn't know how to deal with this woman.

"Then stay here. You can come and ask me if you have any questions."

Even so, Loren decided to ask the Elf Queen for help to get rid of her later.

Loren always felt uneasy about having the mighty Ice and Snow Empress stay in his small Sandstone Town.

come back to the office.

Xuefu was somewhat concerned about Mier's situation.

"Loren, who exactly is she?"

"She might be the Ice Queen, so let's just not offend her."

Xuefu was shocked. "The Ice Queen? What's she doing in Sandstone Town?"

"She probably wants us to join the Ice and Snow Empire. We should ignore her."

Xuefu nodded.

Then, the two began to discuss their next steps.

The four regions—Centaur Village, Cat and Dog Village, Snake Village, and Boar Territory—need to be developed as soon as possible.

Loren called Danny and Liz over.

"Danny, you will lead a centaur squad and manage the centaur village. Let them build their territory castle first and cultivate as much fertile land as possible."

"Liz, lead your knights to the Cat and Dog Village, and just like the Centaur Village, prioritize building a castle and cultivating fertile land."

"Yes!"

There are still the Snake Man Village and the Boar Man Territory.

The Snakeman Village and the Boarman Territory are very close to the Orc Tribe and could be attacked at any time.

Moreover, the boarmen haven't been behaving themselves lately, so Loren decided to find some time to go and check it out for himself.

With four new territories, Loren needs to appoint new lords to govern them.

Shefie definitely can't go; she has to stay and manage Sandstone Town, and Loren doesn't want to be separated from her.

Lilia, needless to say.

It's good enough that she can manage herself.

As a demon, Bai Xi may not know how to build a territory.

Moreover, her primary task was to protect Loren, not to serve as a lord.

Therefore, it seems that Loren needs more talent in territory development.

After dealing with these matters, Loren contacted the Elf Queen through his avatar.

Celucia's tone remained cold. "What's the matter this time?"

"Your Majesty, for some unknown reason, the Ice Empress has appeared in Sandstone Town disguised as a young girl, and it seems she intends to stay there..."

Celucia remained silent for a long time.

"What did she tell you?"

“She didn’t say anything, just that she wanted to stay in Shashi Town.”

"Then just leave her alone. If she likes it, let her stay."

Celucia doesn't care, and Loren can't do anything about it either.

He wondered, "Does the Empress of the Snow Kingdom have so much free time?"
Loren no longer cared about Mil's whereabouts.

Hela discovered traces of the Great Elf in the Elf Sea.

Loren needs to go to Sandstone Town to find her as soon as possible.

Could this giant Pokémon be the same one that evolved last July?
