Chapter 675: 364

As a result, on the second day, this army was completely exhausted. Most of the nobles were taken captive, and a small number of nobles took the initiative to surrender.

Ivita and her troupe returned to Viscount Josè’s territory with a battling and high-spirited army, causing the civilians in Viscount Josè’s territory to stop in their tracks and observe. The sight of their defeated army arranged in a long line, like a scenic view, astonish them greatly.

A cheer arose from many of the onlookers.

In the castle of Lord Josè’s territory, Housekeeper Joe Joseph came out to greet them. Upon seeing several old ministers of Earl Yisen Hanjian held captive, their armors on but heads low, depressed and defeated, he immediately asked Ivita, "Viscount, where is Earl Yisen Hanjian?"

Ivita succinctly replied, "Dead."

"What?" The aging Housekeeper Joe Joseph opened his mouth wide in shock. "You killed the Earl? He was the biggest feudal Lord around our island. This... this..."

Wilson laughed, "We did more than kill him, we also captured his army. And you should start calling her Earl now. She is now a vassal of the Holy Empire."

Joe Joseph, who was accustomed to a routine life, was wide-mouthed. He had never thought he would hear such news one day.

The new lord of Viscount Joseph, a territory nearly rendered dysfunctional due to corruption, had brought a great victory to the region.

Many thoughts crowded into Housekeeper Joe Joseph’s mind. "I am old, unable to keep up with your young minds. But given the current scenario, those big pirates and nobles are going to interfere with..."

"Troubles will pile up."

Ivita straightforwardly commanded, "Housekeeper, give me a connection chart of Earl Yisen Hanjian’s heirs immediately. I need to confirm the heirs to their territories after the Earl’s death."

"Wilson, I trust your judgment."

"You and Kennedy must go to Earl Yisen Hanjian’s territory immediately. Carry the rings of various nobles and tell their immediate families to swear allegiance to their new master."

Chino Kennedy and Wilson agreed at once.

"Hearthstone Witch, I am assigning you hundred first-class professional. Go and capture, threaten the heirs of the main nobles in the territory of Earl Yisen Hanjian. This is your specialty, isn’t it?"

The Hearthstone Witch visibly cheered up. "No problem. Thank you, your highness."

"I was worried that I would not get to hear the wonderful music of human misery recently."

Ivita turned to Kamizuki, "Inform the Iron Mountain Knight and Knight Kelmu to lead their troops swiftly, and mobilize all the troops in my territory to Earl’s territory to quash any resistance. I want to prevent any opportunist in the Earl’s territory from coveting my war spoils and aiming for the position of Earl Yisen Hanjian."

Kamizuki gazed at Ivita in reverence, "Yes, master."

Who would have thought that in just a few months, Ivita would hold the same title as her father?

The position of Earl is the minimum prerequisite to intervene in continental affairs.

Only with the rank of Earl do they have the potential to overthrow a small nation or join an international force...

But Kamizuki could feel it, Ivita would soon change the increasingly stable situation on Cross Island in the past thirty years. She would soon advance even further, and the title of Earl is just a stepping stone for her.

’Choosing to stay by my master’s side that day was indeed the right choice,’ Kamizuki thought to himself. ’If I follow my father to the Polito Kingdom, I may remain insignificant forever. If I stay by my master’s side, I could likely become the monarch of a territory someday.’-

As if sensing something, Ivita glanced at Kamizuki.
