7 KINGDOMS: conquest
43. Barliester region

The next day, Duke Aaron took Noran to the Barliester region.

Behind him were 200 fully armored soldiers, leaving many of the townspeople terrified.

A small town in the Barliester region is called Turin City. There are about 10,000 inhabitants in the city, with 4 villages having 3,000 inhabitants each village.

In all, there were 22,000 inhabitants in the Barliester region, due to the war, only 500 soldiers were left guarding the city and the four Villages.

The Barliester region is so green and beautiful, the existing agriculture is also so fertile, the food of this region can be called prosperous.

"The barliester region is a beautiful region, with fertile agriculture" Duke Aaron said.

Along the road leading to the city of Turin, many residents are seen growing crops on their land.

The streets of the city became deserted, not a single resident was seen on the streets, it seemed that the residents were frightened to see hundreds of armored soldiers coming.

Duke Aaron and Noran walked towards the mansion where Baron Sanders lived, when the two arrived, they were greeted by a beautiful woman.

Inside the mansion, almost the entire city's soldiers were lined up, they only had level 70. If against two hundred level 110 troops, they would lose.

The number of casualties would also be large on both sides, Duke Aaron decided to take over the territory with diplomacy and they agreed.

"Baroness Rianna, thank you for your warm welcome" Duke Aaron said.

Baroness Rianna just kept quiet, Noran understood that Baroness Rianna might still hold a grudge with Duke Aaron. After all, her husband, Baron Sanders was killed in the war against Duke Aaron.

"This is the new ruler of the Barliester region, Noran. I hope you can help him well" Duke Aaron said.

Duke Aaron went with his troops to the territory of the other two Barons, If it is too late the other two dukes will take over.

After Duke Aaron left, Baroness Rianna's gaze became sharp on him, she walked over to Noran.

"Capture him" said Baroness Rianna.

Although Duke Aaron has already announced the leader of their territory, they will listen more to the speech of their leader than to new strangers.

Dozens of spears were pointed straight at Noran's neck, with dozens of soldiers surrounding him.

"Calm down, I have no intention of taking over this territory" Noran said.

Of course they did not believe it, they even made the spear closer to Noran's neck.

"I don't want this area, I just want to make a quiet house in the Barliester region, it's a beautiful region" Noran said.

"Is that right?" ask Baroness Rianna.

He doubted Noran's words, but he could not find a strange expression on Noran.

"Yes, that's all I want. Being a noble is troublesome, I just want to have an adventure" Noran said.

Noran took his adventurer card, showing it to Baroness Rianna.

Baroness Rianna looked at the card belonging to Noran, written clearly there rank Noran who was an A level adventurer, besides that he was also the leader of the A level party.

What made Baroness Rianna surprised was Noran's level, his level was at a high number, which was 177.

[Name : Baroness Rianna

Race : human

Job: wife of Baron

Level :50 ]

His army level was only at 70, against someone of level 177, a different 100+ level was tantamount to suicide.

"It is fitting that Duke Aaron leave him without an army, this brat is strong." thought Baroness Rianna.

Although it takes time, Noran can kill them all. Of course Baroness Rianna did not know that Noran could match the strength of someone at level 212.

"Let down your weapons" said Baroness Rianna.

Baroness Rianna then drove Noran into the mansion, inside the mansion of a girl about 14 years old.

Her appearance was so cute and adorable, the girl approached Baroness Rianna and asked.

"Mother, who is she?" ask the girl.

"He is our new leader, Mr. Noran" said Baroness Rianna.

Fighting Noran will have a bad effect on him, his daughter and even the residents of Barliester. Now Baroness Rianna chose to surrender.

He felt this Noran was one of Duke Aaron's winning factors, he did not know how many more people like Noran on Duke Aaron's side.

Noran smiled at the girl, Baroness Rianna then drove Noran into the study that her husband used to use.

She felt sad, her husband had now died in the war, although tears were not visible, Noran could tell from the eyes of Baroness Rianna.

"Too often have I seen that look." Noran murmured.

On earth, he always behaved how the situation demanded him, not how he felt. In reading a person's behavior, Noran can be said to be an expert.

"You're sad your husband died?" ask Noran.

"I don't feel sad" said Baroness Rianna.

"Don't fool yourself, I've met many people like you, hiding your grief.

That's why I hate war, making a lot of people feel sad and vengeful" Noran said.

"Then why did you join the war?" ask Baroness Rianna.

"My only reason for fighting, is to protect what is precious to me. I don't care if people call me a sadistic villain, a demon or a monster.

most importantly what's valuable to me is staying well awake. In this chaotic world, there are only two choices, to destroy others, or to be destroyed by others" Noran said.

Noran had no intention of becoming a hero, nor did he intend to be the one to speak the truth. He thought it was too exhausting, also fooling himself.

Of peace? There will be no peace in this world as long as there is life.

A crime? There will always be everywhere, shadows will always appear even in the brightest places.

"I will take care of everything I have with my life. And this territory has become mine, so I will protect it as well even if I have to give up my life" Noran said.

Baroness Rianna understood what Noran was saying, it was the reality of this world.

After hearing Noran's words, he felt a little calm and began to cultivate confidence in Noran.

"From now on, this territory I leave it to you" said Baroness Rianna.

Baroness Rianna took out a stack of papers on the table, this was the monthly duty of a noble, all tasks related to the Barliester territory.

"This much?" Noran felt almost fainted.

However, there are too many files. From the words of Baroness Rianna, he had to finish the whole thing within a week.

"Can you be the Baron here?" ask Noran.

It was easier to be an adventurer than a noble. Baroness Rianna nodded, saying this was already the duty of a Baron.

Noran could only sigh and start reading a file.

"Kobold monster attack on harvest time.." Noran read the reports.
