"My fellow citizens of Leithania, I am your Emperor, Igvinad."
Upon hearing this, the Duke's army regrouped, leaning on their staffs again, and knelt on one knee in unison, shouting loudly and in unison.
"Her Majesty the Queen!"
"I came to Harker Territory today because the former Duke of Elvis intends to rebel, and the evidence is solid."
As he spoke, Chen Zhou picked up the assassin lying on the ground and threw him in front of everyone like a dead dog.
The Twin Queens and Chen Zhou glanced at him at the same time.
The assassin trembled under the sting of Chen Zhou's gaze. When he thought of his days in the Anti-Counterrevolutionary Committee, fear and grievance spread in his heart.
What the evil dragon said was true. In order to open his mouth, the Anti-Counterrevolutionary Committee really threw him into the Guannantong cell.
In the small cell, three muscular men squeezed onto a small bed with him...
A week!
What a dark week!
Without a single moment of rest or relaxation, the former assassin and killer had become a pot to be taken and plundered at will! A week later, the man who brought him out was said to be a pig breeder. He used a water gun to clean him and washed him for a full six hours!
No one wants to be close to him now. When the evil dragon brought him down, he wore no less than ten layers of virus protection gloves. After throwing him down, he used Draco's flame to sterilize him at high temperature, then washed his hands frantically, and finally went to the city hospital for a comprehensive examination.
It was just a touch of my new clothes!
What a bully!
It turns out that in this world, there are people who are more vicious than the demons, and there are things that are more unbearable than death.
During these seven days, in addition to regretting not having Zisha earlier, he also regretted why he didn't go crazy.
It would be nice if I went crazy.
"Explain to everyone, and I can give you a quick death."
The evil dragon looked at him with disgust and reached out to wipe the white silk gloves of the White Queen.
Damn it, if the Float-Float Fruit hadn’t been fully awakened, I wouldn’t have tapped his collar.
Igvinad: ???
"I...I understand."
The assassin glanced at Elvis who was cut in half and nodded in a hoarse voice.
Then, he knelt on the top of the tower, supported himself on the ground with his hands, bowed his head and confessed:
"I work for a security company in Colombia. It's called a security company, but it's actually an assassination organization. My employer, Duke Elvis, sent someone to place an order two weeks ago, saying they wanted to eliminate the leader of the Taliban..."
After a few words, the assassin was interrupted by the White Queen.
"My people, the leader of the TLF is a friend of Leithian. Elvis's actions are an attempt to circumvent the central government and provoke a war between the two countries! This is a serious violation of Leithian law!"
"Helinmart and I can no longer tolerate this kind of impure-minded noble. We've come here to announce one thing to all of you: the Elvis family has been stripped of all honors and positions. As for the new lord of Hake Territory, it will be none other than the young lady who personally subdued Elvis—Lappland!"
"Miss Lappland once served as the Queen's Voice, excelling in diplomatic mediation and handling state affairs. She also served with Helinmart in quelling the rebellion of Duke Jiaosong, and her military achievements are truly remarkable."
Igvinad briefly fabricated Lappland's qualifications.
Sure enough, after hearing this, a glimmer of anticipation appeared in the eyes of the warlock army under the tower.
Lappland grinned, and Chen Zhou could see that her smile was very unnatural at the moment.
"So, after discussing it with Helinmart, I decided to grant Miss Lapland the title of Duke, the title 'Red Duke'!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone took the lead and shouted "Red Duke", and others followed suit, including voices like "Grand Duke of Lappland".
Lappland was in a trance.
A few years ago, she was just a lone wolf expelled from her family. Who would have thought that after following Chen Zhou for a short time, she would become one of the most powerful people in Leithania.
At first, she was happy when Chen Zhou suggested that they could use this opportunity to annoy Alberto. But when everyone cheered, she suddenly felt that the idea was meaningless.
Now, her heart is filled with the emotion of "a gentleman will die for his friend".
Expelled from the Syracuse family, no one accepted him at Longmen. He lived a lonely life, walked alone, and rushed to his next mission location alone...
She thought that the end of her life might be in some dark alley if she had not saved Chen Zhou that night.
Then Chen Zhou smiled warmly like his own god and reached out to rescue him from the quagmire.
"Red Duke, this is the Duke's Medal."
Igvinad took out the medal she had found earlier from Hake Territory, used magic to reshape it and engraved the symbol of the Tower Jie Array on it, and solemnly put it on Lagou.
"Thank you."
Lappland straightened up and let the White Queen help her put it on.
"Okay, let's all go back and get some rest." The White Queen turned around and looked at the army below with gentle eyes.
"Yes, Her Majesty the Queen!"
All the soldiers responded in unison, and then, led by the military commander, returned to their respective camps.
"The next officers for the Duke will be assigned by your Tower Jiezhen. As for the army of Hake Territory, there are too many weak members. I suggest you streamline and screen them. If you are truly dissatisfied, you can disband the army and recruit new ones. Of course, this will be very costly..."
Igvinad taught Lappland all the experience of governing the territory.
But before she could finish her words, Lappland suddenly knelt on one knee in front of Chen Zhou, offering the courtesy of a vassal, and said in a very solemn tone:
"My lord, no matter how my identity changes, Lappland will always be loyal to you."
"Oh, how can you say such things, you really, you really..."
"What's wrong with Chen Zhou? He looks like he's about to cry..." Igvinad opened a folding fan to hide the smirk on her lips, and her tone was very doting.
"Sand, there is sand on the tower. Let me wipe my eyes."
Chen Zhou smiled and lifted up Queen Bai's long skirt that almost dragged on the ground, wiping his eyes.
You boy!
The White Queen's smile suddenly stopped, and her face was full of helplessness.
Just as Lappland was sighing inwardly, a big hand with the warmth of Draco that saved her touched her head, then grabbed her shoulders and pulled her up.
Looking up, I saw Draco with a bright and pure smile. His tone was unusually gentle:
"Do it well, do it well."
Chapter 34: Red Dragon Fight (Two in One)
That night, the twins did not stop their efforts to clean up the nobles in Hake County.
On the pretext of knowing but not reporting, they ordered all local nobles to move to Trilinterme and accept the direct supervision of the empire. Even their offspring had to be sent to institutions designated by the twins for education. In fact, this was to help Lappland clear the obstacles to governance.
"Eradicating the power of the nobles, even the Black Queen wasn't so ruthless when she targeted the Lupokan region. No wonder people say Heizi is the second Wizard King." Chen Zhou floated beside the twins.
Bai Zi was waving his folding fan, admiring the desolate sight of an earl packing his belongings and leaving the tower.
Hearing this, she sighed:
"I've done so much for you. It's our fault for saying this. My heart is colder than ice in the coldest days of winter..."
"Read less Dayan stories."
"And why are you only concerned about that black guy? Look at me more, Zhou Zhou!"
Igvinader covered half of her face with a folding fan, and a hint of grievance flashed between her brows.
"White Queen? Tea Queen! Behave normally!"
Faced with this kind of Cha Cha, Sigma Chen Zhou gave her a very serious "lesson".
Although there was an almost negligible lust in his character, he was naturally wary of this woman, fearing that she might sell him out at any time.
The White Queen pursed her lips. "Alas, don't jump to conclusions based on gossip. I'm Leitania's Eternal Grace. How could I be so bad?"
"So you put all the blame on Xiao Hei for playing the good guy and the bad guy, right?" Chen Zhou glanced at her and said slowly.
Seeing Chen Zhou speaking out so bravely, Helinmart was moved, but also a little helpless:
"Why does it feel like my generation has become lower? It's ok to call him Hei Si, but why do you still call him Xiao Hei?"
"Oh, you mean Xiao Hei? That's the one Lappland raised... Ugh!"
Before Chen Zhou could utter the word "dog", his mouth was covered by the newly appointed Red Duke of Leithnia.
The dog made a husky pointing expression at its owner, then changed the subject with a wry smile:
"Your Majesty, I once controlled a city in Syracuse, but the Hake Territory is simply too vast. I still have many questions to ask you..."
The next day, Hake led all the nobles in old cars loaded with their belongings and headed towards Triintreme.
At the same time, the Twin Queens organized the purged territory officials and held a grand awarding ceremony for Lappland in the auditorium of Hack Territory.
The news that Hake County had a new duke was broadcast to nearby cities through the communication station. For a time, the streets and alleys of Hake County were full of people talking about it.
Red Duke Lappland, a little-known man, was unexpectedly directly conferred the title of Duke!
Public opinion in Hackland was in an uproar.
Reporters from local news agencies, like sharks smelling blood, were desperate to dig up the past of the duke who had become famous overnight.
However, when they were about to submit their visiting cards, the reporters in the floating city worked overtime and finished the new issue of the newspaper and delivered it to all directions before anyone else.
The Terra Times and the Gemini Queens worked together to forge Lapland's resume.
The newspaper reported that after being expelled from Syracuse, the Red Duke had voluntarily joined the Queen's army and had resolved many international disputes for Leithnia over the years...
When the other grand dukes learned of the news, they tacitly remained silent.
The common people vied with each other to praise the Gemini Queen for employing people based on their talents, but they were the only ones who felt the Gemini Queen's increasingly powerful influence.
Uprooting the nobles of an entire region... The last person who did this was called Herhunzollon.
The low-key attitude of the Grand Dukes was a pleasant surprise to the White Queen and Lagou.
Another piece of news that made Lagou laugh out loud came from the Reunion Movement's office in Volsini. According to them, upon learning that his daughter had become the Grand Duke of Letania, Alberto Sr.'s expression was quite remarkable.
While he was fighting with other families over the ownership of a city, his own daughter was already on equal footing with the Lady of Sicily...
It is said that a new official has three things to do when he takes office. The first thing Lappland did when he took office was to write a letter to his old man Deng, mocking him for living on Pello (dog) for so many years. In the letter, he said that if the family collapsed in the future, he would be welcome to join the generous Duke of Lappland.
She took back what she had said before and said that it was quite interesting to tease her own Lao Deng.
"...Alas, although I have few loyal subjects in Hack County, I do own a lot of land. Master Saluzzo, if you're still in Master Chen Zhou's debt of gratitude, would you like to come and work for me? I can hire you as a gardener, under a labor contract."
Look at this unfilial son, he is even concerned about his father’s debt problem.
She really... I'm going to kill her!
As he continued to read, Alberto Saluzzo's face darkened even more and his grip on the fork tightened.
"You, Old Deng, you used to be so majestic and domineering, bossing me around. But now you've changed so much. After all these years, you're still working to pay off your debts. You're really pitiful. I want to howl, I want to howl! Hahahahahaha..."
Bang!
Alberto, who was eating noodles for breakfast, turned his hand and turned the plate upside down on the table.
"Get out of here!" he yelled.
The servant lowered his head and carefully left the restaurant.
What a rebellious son.
With a cold face, he used a fork to put the noodles back onto the plate bit by bit.
"The Red Duke? He's doing pretty well." After everyone left, Alberto raised the corner of his mouth and a fleeting smile flashed across his face.
Lapland, my traitor, my pride.
……
On the newly built tower of Hake County.
After allocating a group of people to serve as the Lappland team, Chen Zhou waved his hand and his body slowly floated up.
"My master, I will regularly remit 70% of Hack County's income to you." Lappland looked up at the sky, feeling unexpectedly sad.
"Government spending, military spending, and the sheltering of infected people... can we really sustain this by only keeping 30%?"
"Thirty percent is enough. Military spending can be slashed. Hake County doesn't need to respond to the Twin Queens' military actions, and I'm not worried about the other Grand Dukes going to war with me. Besides, this position should have been yours."
