Black Iron Crown

In addition to Earl Zhebo and his vassals in the northern border, there are a total of 117 lords including Rainer.

The area of ​​the entire northern border is 1.03 million square kilometers, with a total of 117 castles and 117 territories. After obeying Reiner's order and killing all the people who should be killed, This place instantly became his possession.

"Very good!" Lena nodded.

He didn't care whether those villages were ruled by sending officials to establish an administrative system.

In fact, these villagers don't care about who is ruled by them. Anyway, they all pay the same tax. It's not bad for them to be ruled by a stronger master who can defeat the previous lord, at least to ensure their own safety.

Therefore, Reiner is not worried about riots or rebellions at all. Before he has enough officials to rule these villages, he can count the number of people and collect taxes according to the head, which is the same thing anyway.

What's more, Reiner is not without backup, because the moment he got the news, the rewards for the first stage had already been distributed.

"Congratulations, Lord Lord, for completing the mission, Lion of the Northland, mission rewards will be distributed!"

"Congratulations to the lord for obtaining the Junior Official Academy x 1"

"Congratulations, my lord, for getting the Rangers of Rohan × 20"

"Congratulations to the lord for completing the preliminary first-stage main task and getting a stage gift bag"

"Congratulations to the lord for gaining six years of life, currently: unknown"

The Junior Official Academy can train 240 junior officials every year, which is more than enough if these junior officials are used to manage these villages.

At that time, the current dual mode of management of tax officials and village chiefs will be ended, and a triple management model of officials, tax officials, and village chiefs will be opened.

According to preliminary statistics, the population of the northern border is about 250,000, and the number of villages is 2,320. Currently, there are about 1,900 villages under the jurisdiction of Lena.

Reiner estimated in his mind that after the war ended, he would definitely be rewarded for his meritorious deeds. In this case, another 20 baronies would be eliminated, and more than 400 villages would disappear.

Then, the seven lords who publicly declared their allegiance to themselves were eliminated, and more than a hundred villages disappeared.

In other words, the number of villages that should eventually fall into Leiner's hands should be around 1,500, which means that according to the current speed, it will only take six years to popularize this idea.

All right……

Reiner stroked his forehead helplessly, seven years is really a bit too long...

But soon he picked himself up and regained his spirits.

"What's the big deal? A junior official only has 6,000 points of merit. I'll just buy another one!"

Of course, he was just pretending in his heart. The system panel showed that he only had more than a thousand merits left, which was not enough for him to buy another official academy.

"My lord? What's wrong with you, my lord?" Baron Azak was the closest to Reiner. Seeing him in a daze, he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Reiner's eyes, and said tentatively.

"Ah? What... what's wrong?" Reiner just woke up like a dream. He was immersed in the system and fantasies for too long just now. Over the past ten days, his brain felt overworked every day. Unexamined, that's why what happened in that scene just now happened.

"We are discussing how to deal with those captured lords and Sir Fata! We still can't make up our minds in the end, let alone you are our master, this matter should be decided by you!" Baron Azak Slightly bowing his head, he said to Reiner respectfully.

"Hey...that's right, Lord Earl, that's it!"

"It's up to you to decide what to do with those people!"

The lords who supported Earl Zhebo before, but later publicly expressed their loyalty to Reiner also came to this lord's hall. They sat timidly in the last position and looked at Reiner, for fear that Reiner would be annoyed because he did not send troops to help him.

Reiner didn't even look at them. He was indeed dissatisfied. He still didn't like the group of people who died for small profits and sacrificed their lives for great things. What really mattered to him was the one who had swollen himself before. Part of that group of nobles.

Listening to their words, Reiner frowned and supported his chain armor with his hands, making a caged hand and placing it in front of his mouth, thinking carefully.

The vassals knew that their master was thinking, and they all looked at Reiner in a breathless manner, waiting for him to make a final decision.

About ten minutes later, Reiner tapped the table lightly with his index finger.

In this deathly silent environment, it was so obvious that all the vassals instantly turned their attention to him.

"Sir Fata, the Baron Tarkov who betrayed me, and the following lords, will be hanged!" Reiner read a few names, all of which caused huge losses to himself in previous battles or were with him. the name of the lord who is the enemy

In the previous battle, seven lords were killed due to "accidental injuries" on the battlefield, and there were only eighty-seven people left. After removing the name of one person that Leiner read out, that is, seventy-six people.

Reiner said blankly: "These people whose names I read will be hanged!"

"And those people whose names I didn't mention will be deprived of their territories by me, their lords, and their titles of nobles! Then report to the royal family to let them cancel their saint status, and then exile to the nomads of the East Go to the occupied prairie!"

While Reiner said these words, he slowly leaned back on the back of the chair, and the fate and life and death of the seventy-six lords were determined by his understatement.

In fact, Reiner didn't want to let them go like this, but there was no way, this place was almost the same as the Middle Ages in the previous life, and he hated killing nobles.

Although he also felt that there would be great hidden dangers in doing so, he had to abide by the rules of the game. He just hanged some people and exiled others.

In this way, Leiner led the vassals back to Fort Petri in a mighty manner, and brought these people back to Fort Morland.

After anxious thousands of residents, Reiner sent them to the gallows in full view.

When more than 20 aristocratic grandpas who were usually high above were hanged on the gallows like dead dogs, the residents immediately let out earth-shattering cheers.

They didn't know what this meant, but they all knew that their Lord Earl had become stronger.

After hanging these people, Leiner's prestige was once again enhanced, and even his vassals were in awe of him and did not dare to disobey him in the slightest.

And his reputation in the system has also changed from "Megatron North" to "Famous Empire", from the level of the North to the level of the Ridka Empire.
