"Rego, how many people are there in the family's army now?"

"Counting the soldiers that Raymond had brought to Ice Rock City before, there are still about 600 people in the family army."

"Six hundred..." Colin rubbed his head, a little depressed.

In fact, it was his dead ghost father who ruined most of the family's army on the frontline battlefield.

"We need to expand!" Colin gritted his teeth.

He is sober, in this dangerous world, only the army is his foundation.

If he can also have an army as terrifying as the Black Cavalry, then who is the owner of the North Territory, you have to ask Colin's opinion.

Therefore, Colin left the lord's daily affairs to the steward Yimen to take care of, and his own energy will be focused on army building.

"Yes, Lord Viscount! How many troops do you need?"

Colin picked up the mug and took a sip. The coffee inside was cold, and the bitter taste cleared his mind.

"The regular army will be replenished to one thousand men first, and then a reserve of one thousand men will be formed. I will give you one month, is it enough?"

"Enough!" The two brothers slapped their chests loudly.

Colin nodded, believing that the two brothers should be able to accomplish this task well.

However, both Rego and Raymond recruited and trained infantry, and the cavalry that Colin really wanted should be trained by someone else.

"Raymond, go and see if the knight Shire is awake, and if he wakes up, let him come to see me immediately."

"Yes."

When Raymond left, Colin sat back behind the desk, waved to Yimen, and began to hand over the mountain of official documents to him.

The affairs of the territory are very complicated. Fortunately, Yimen is here, otherwise Colin will really be overwhelmed for a while.

Knight Rego sat in a daze.

But he was a person who couldn't sit still. After he drank the ale, he started scratching his head and looking around.

Colin didn't respond to him now.

Who knows how long later, Rego actually took the initiative to speak: "Master Viscount, hehe, I have a small request..."

"Say." Colin also raised his head.

"Hehe." Rego touched his bald head, his face showed a little embarrassing expression, "I heard that this time your new land includes a place called Frozen Lake Town, right?"

"Yes. The previous lord there was Baron Billy, but this idiot participated in the lord's rebellion and was executed by the Duke. His domain was also rewarded to me by the Duke."

"Yes, it's there." Rego rubbed his hands and said hesitantly, "You know, in fact, there is actually the former fiefdom of our Morburn family..."

Hearing this, Colin put down the document in his hand and looked up at Rego, with a trace of scrutiny in his eyes.

"How do I remember that the former fiefdom of the Morburn family was Cotton Town."

"Yes, you remember it right. Cotton Town is indeed the former fiefdom of our family. However, before becoming the lord of Cotton Town, our family’s fiefdom was actually in Frozen Lake Town.

That was a long time ago, even Baron Angele did not know.

The place where the Morburn family really emerged was actually Frozen Lake Town. "

The scrutiny in Colin's eyes faded, and he smiled: "That's it, it seems that your family has really gone through ups and downs."

Colin almost thought Rego had lied just now.

If it wasn't for Rego's explanation later, then Colin would really have to re-examine the loyalty of this seemingly honest knight.

"Hey, yes." Rego couldn't help but begin to touch his big bald head again.

This made Colin couldn't help wondering if this guy's hair was lost like this...

Colin had already understood what Rego meant by now. This guy probably wanted him to keep Frozen Lake Town to the Morburn family, and then give them a reward after they had done their merits.

But Colin suddenly wanted to tease this stupid big man.

"Do you want to go back and see?"

"Uh..." Rego was stunned, and then quickly nodded, "Yes, yes! I really want to go back and see... After all, it's been so many years, and I don't know how the development there is now..."

"Of course you can go. I'll give you a few days off. However, after you go, you have to say hello to the lord there and pay attention to etiquette."

"Lord... Lord?" Rego was dumbfounded, "You, have you already canonized Frozen Lake Town to someone else?"

Corin rested his chin and looked at Rego's dumbfounded look. He thought it was very funny: "Yes, a good candidate has been determined, but there is no official canonization yet."

Rego flushed anxiously: "Then, who did you grant Frozen Lake Town to?"

Colin leaned back in his chair with a smile, feeling that he had enough of this stupid man, and said truthfully: "Raymond Morburn."

"Ray...Raymond!" Rego realized that Colin was teasing him, and he was relieved.

I saw him step forward, knelt on one knee, and solemnly said: "Thank you for your gift to the Morburn family, our brothers will always remember it!"

"What? You don't blame me for giving the title to your brother instead of you?"

"Of course not. I already know the credit that my brother has made for following you. He really deserves the award!"

"That's good, when you two help me train the first batch of troops, I will canonize Raymond as the Baron of Frozen Lake Town, and I will let you go back with him and have a look."

"Thank you, Lord!"

In fact, Colin had already planned for the canonization of Raymond as a baron.

After all, Raymond followed him all the way to escape, it was indeed hard work.

And loyal.

If he wants to canonize a baron now, it must be Raymond.

However, Raymond's fiefdom was decided by Colin after listening to Rego's account and learning that Frozen Lake Town was the old fiefdom of the Morburn family.

"Boom boom boom."

"Come in."

The door opened again, and Raymond led Shire in.

"Master Viscount!"

The knight Shire respectfully saluted Colin, as if it were no different from before.

However, Colin still noticed that there seemed to be some kind of connection between the two, as if it was a kind of echo in blood...

Moreover, although the knight Shire rank was still above Colin, Colin felt that he could completely suppress the opponent.

This is not the suppression of strength, but the suppression of blood!

Colin felt that the family members like the knight Shire, who were created through the complete first embrace ceremony, could not be called blood slaves.

It is more appropriate to call him a vampire.

"Rego, Raymond, you go down first, and the enlistment and training of the army will begin immediately."

"Yes, Lord Viscount." The two brothers saluted and retired.

"Yimen, you should leave first. You should take care of the daily affairs of the territory first, and discuss with me if you have any doubts."

"Yes, sir."

After Yimen left, the study suddenly became quiet.

Colin looked at the knight Shire, hesitating how to greet him.

Seeing that the knight Shire had already knelt on one knee, with his left hand clasped on his chest, he said with a pious expression:

"My Lord Chosen, thank you for your grace!"
