Chapter 120 The Northeast Sentry of Cold Winter Town
The Forrester family is a relatively powerful noble family in Iron Tree Castle, and the current head of the family is Earl Percy Forrester. The current mayor of Frost Cold Town is Sean Forrester, the fourth son of Percy Forrester.
As for Sean Forrester, David has always kept it in his heart, but until today, he has not seen this Sean Forrester in person.
A handsome young man in his early twenties, with a gloomy face, came to the southwest of Frost Chill Town with heavily armed soldiers. A handsome young man in a thick black cloak outside.
Hearing that someone came running, and the person who came was not good, Sean was very upset. When he saw that the person who came to make trouble was a handsome young man, his unhappiness aggravated a bit.
"who are you?"
As soon as Sean asked half a sentence, someone already whispered in his ear the identity of David and the others.
The border guards of the Kingdom of Tilan, the pioneers and rulers of Winter Town can be ignored, and it is only necessary to focus on the identity of Baron Glamorgan.
Sean was a little taken aback when he learned of the other party's identity. He had no idea that the village chief of Rinwinter Village would come to him on his own initiative.
Even though the mayor of Rinwinter Village was lucky enough to upgrade his village to Rinwinter Town and embrace His Majesty's big thick legs, Sean didn't pay much attention to this person from the bottom of his heart.
In his opinion, David is a very lucky mud leg. If he doesn't go to Winter Town to trouble him, he will secretly find a place to rejoice? How dare you run over to provoke him?
That's right, in Sean's view, David's behavior is provocation!
Actually, David came here today to provoke.
"You didn't salute the baron when you saw him? Could it be that the noble children of Iron Tree Castle are so uneducated?"
Sean Forrester was still slandering David in his stomach with a gloomy face, completely ignoring the fact that there was still a 'Lord Baron' in front of him.
It wasn't until Elias reprimanded that Sean realized an extremely embarrassing fact: even if he looked down on the mayor of Cold Winter Town, he is now the Baron of Glamorgan conferred by His Majesty the King of Tilan himself.
And he, Sean Forrester, is only the son of Earl Forrester, and he does not have any title of title.
Tangled in pain for two seconds, Sean Forrest suppressed the nausea in his heart, and respectfully saluted David who was sitting high on the horse: "Lord Baron."
In order to avoid the other party finding fault, Sean Forrest gave the most standard bowing greeting. After all, he is not a commoner and has an official position himself. David is not the lord he serves, so there is no need to kneel.
"Nice to meet you, Mayor Forrester."
David's response made Sean Forrester heave a sigh of relief, he straightened his back again, and looked at David who was still sitting upright on the horse again.
Huge anger surged from the bottom of my heart. It was really unacceptable to be looked down upon by people I once looked down upon.
But he couldn't show any dissatisfaction, he could only suppress the anger, and asked the other party's intentions in a calm tone as much as possible.
After all, the situation in Cold Winter Town is too special, and he doesn't want to give the other party any excuses.
"It's nothing important. I just noticed that more new villages and towns began to appear around Cold Winter Town. I think that in order to avoid disputes that may break out, I should determine the boundaries of Cold Winter Town in advance." David used the most peaceful , A tone that seemed to have no emotional fluctuations, telling a seemingly ordinary thing: "After all, no one likes conflicts, are you right? Mayor Forrester."
"The Baron is right." Sean Forrest was a little confused, wondering what kind of trick David was trying to play?
As a son of a nobleman, Sean Forrest certainly knows that it is very common for conflicts to erupt due to unclear boundaries.
But before the real conflict broke out, no one would determine the so-called town boundaries early.
The reason is very simple. Towns need to be developed, and no one knows how far they will develop in the future. Isn’t the early determination of the borders to define the scope of the territory for oneself?
Now such blurring is more in line with the wishes of noble lords, and this boundary can be continuously expanded with development.
Even if this situation is likely to cause conflicts with neighboring nobles, no one has thought about changing this—what if I win by then?
"Tsk, he really is an ignorant commoner." From the bottom of his heart, he satirized David as a fool who didn't understand anything. What's the use of getting the title of baron? Just stick to your little territory and eat the soil and drink the wind!
"Lord Baron Glamorgan is right. No one likes conflict. If the boundaries can be clearly defined early, it will be good for everyone..."
"Since Mayor Forrester has also expressed his approval, then the matter is settled like this." David waved his hand lightly, and the soldiers following him had already jumped off their horses, carrying the horses loaded on their horses. The reminder board and the wooden plate representing the northeast sentry were all removed.
Then, under the gaze of Sean Forrester with question marks on his face, several soldiers dug a hole on the edge of the farmland in Frost Cold Town and erected the signboard, and then put the piece that symbolized and indeed engraved with Rin The wooden plate of the northeast sentry post in Wintertown is placed under the notice board.
"this…"
It wasn't until the sign was erected that Sean Forrest noticed the words "Welcome to Cold Winter Town" written on it, and then he realized what David was doing.
"You!" Sean Forrest's face flushed instantly, and even his neck seemed to be two points thicker: "You can't do this!"
"Oh? Why not?" David looked at Sean Forrest with a smile, and was very satisfied with his reaction at this time, wishing he could record it directly: "As the mayor of Cold Winter Town and the leader of the Opening Order Holder, I have the right to build the buildings in Cold Winter Town on any unowned land."
"This is against the rules!"
"The decree of the Kingdom of Tiran gives me the power to do so."
Sean Forrester had already started to growl, but David still responded with a steady tone. This situation made Sean Forrester's anger even more intense, and he felt that he was being played by this pariah!
The puffing and puffing slowed down for a while, and the reminder board had been firmly inserted there. Several soldiers had already re-buried the hole dug below with soil, and moved a few big stones from nearby to hold it down. , to ensure that the sign is firmly fixed.
After finally suppressing his anger, Sean Forrest secretly clenched his fists and gritted his teeth to express his dissatisfaction: "Master Baron, your sign does not represent Cold Winter Town."
"No, the building that represents Cold Winter Town is the sentry post... See that? It's the round board."
"..." Sean Forester just noticed the board, he was just staring at the sign. But even so, David's behavior is too ridiculous.
He has never seen or even heard of any nobleman who can claim the land as his own with just a random sign and board: "Please forgive me for not accepting it, Lord Baron doesn't think this so-called border is far away from my frost." Is Hanzhen too close?"
It’s just a sign of the farmland in Shuanghan Town. How does this make his town reclaim new farmland in the future?
"First of all, I did not infringe half an inch of land in Frost Cold Town. According to the decree of the Kingdom of Tilan, the scope of the territory is based on farmland, buildings, etc., and the sentry post in Cold Winter Town was not built on the farmland in Frost Cold Town."
David pointed to the farmland next to him, and then pointed to the sign next to it, with a distance of several meters between them.
It's just that these actions of his are more provocative than explanations, which makes Sean Forrest's anger, which had been suppressed with great difficulty, surge again and become more vigorous.
"Secondly, I'm here to inform Mayor Forrester this time that this will be the border of Cold Winter Town, not to discuss with Mayor Forrester...Mayor Forrester, you are not qualified to discuss with me This kind of thing."
David paused, and suddenly thought of something: "Unless Mayor Forrester is going to pledge his allegiance to me?"
"What... are you kidding me?"
Sean Forrester couldn't help but feel that he had suffered the greatest humiliation since he was born. The angry Sean Forrester finally broke out.
"You are humiliating a nobleman of the kingdom!" Sean Forrest's hand had already touched the hilt of the sword at his waist: "I want to duel with you!"
Although angry, Sean Forrest still retains a bit of reason in his head. He didn't attack David directly, let alone let his men go to attack David, or David's men, and even more so. There was no order to demolish the **** northeast sentry post in Coldwinter.
Sean Forrester chose to challenge David himself. As long as he can defeat or even kill this guy on the spot, then all problems will no longer be a problem.
Unfortunately, the exuberant anger still made Sean ignore an important situation.
"Mayor Forrester, as the ceremonial officer of the Kingdom of Tiran, it is very necessary for me to remind you that you are not qualified to make a duel request to Lord Baron Glamorgan."
David hasn't replied yet. Elias Parker, who has been silent today, finally found a chance to show himself. This time he won't let the guy named Sheldon take the lead: "Instead of your father Frey Lord Earl of Sturt is qualified to duel with Lord Baron Glamorgan."
Sean Forrester had already touched the hilt of his sword, and his fighting spirit and anger were raised to the extreme. Before he could erupt, he was poured a large basin of ice water over his face by an etiquette officer. It was still the kind mixed with ice cubes, which made him dizzy and stared at him.
Finally, he was furious, his eyes went dark, and he fell straight backwards.
