Even the army was borrowed, and Grover had already labeled Lorne as a capital offender in his heart.
And since the people behind the scenes lent Lorn so many soldiers, they definitely couldn't hide it.
But on the third day, after arriving at Fast Territory, Grover asked his men to investigate and secretly investigate, but the information they got made him confused.
"You mean those soldiers are just new recruits who have been trained for no more than a month."
Summarizing the reports of his subordinates, if the other party had not been with him for many years and was a trustworthy helper, the Viscount would have been waiting for him with his big mouth.
The training time, which is less than a month, is at best an enhanced version of recruiting peasant soldiers.
But what stood before Grover was an elite army with strict discipline and a chilling atmosphere.
Such a unit, let alone a month, even if Grover was given a year, would not be able to build it just by training.
The suffocating silence during the march was something Grover had never experienced before.
His Excellency the Viscount even suspected that all of Lorne's soldiers were deaf-mute people who could not speak.
But in fact, they were all normal, just like the soldiers we had seen at the border who had mental problems due to too much war experience.
Grover's assistant also didn't believe that those soldiers were just new recruits who had been trained for less than a month, but he inquired everywhere and the information he got told him that.
Lorne can bribe all the nobles, but he can't have all the civilians help him lie.
"Sir, about twenty days ago, Baron Fast recruited a group of refugees and free people.
Those people are the soldiers we saw, but strangely, the Fast family also recruited a group of family soldiers.
I visited them and the soldiers recruited at about the same time were in completely different situations. " After carefully describing the differences between Lorne's Cyborg army and the family warriors trained by Peter, Grover clapped his hands, thinking he had discovered Lorne's secret operation.
"I understand, those refugees and free people are not from the Fast Territory at all.
Like the people I saw today, they all entered the Fast Territory recently.
I guess someone must have arranged this deliberately, that The illegitimate child just made a show.”
When Grover entered the town today, he noticed that the number of freedmen carrying baggage was a bit strange.
Now that he thought about it, that might not be a good way to hide from others.
It's a pity that he met an understanding person like him and immediately revealed Lorne's secret.
"Hmph, no wonder you agreed to me to investigate so readily.
It turns out that everything has been arranged, but it is not a good thing for young people to be too confident.
You go and investigate which lord the identity certificates of the freedmen come from.
Try to be as detailed as possible.
Maybe we can go back right away."
As long as this is investigated clearly, it is not difficult to analyze the manipulator behind it.
But as Grover said, too much confidence is not a good thing.
Even Lorne himself couldn't understand the sudden increase in free people, let alone Grover, who had just arrived.
It had just been a while since I returned home, and Lorne almost didn't recognize him at first sight.
There was more to the town than just the population.
Because of the sudden influx of freedmen, the streets that were originally empty of people began to become more prosperous.
Coupled with the caravans of other noble families trading giant wolves with Lorne, the Fast Territory has its own virtuous cycle.
According to Celine, apart from businessmen looking for business opportunities, the sudden influx of freedmen mostly hoped to get a chance to get ahead.
The fact that Fast Territory has adopted civilians has begun to spread in the surrounding territories.
Invisibly, Lorne is plundering the population resources of surrounding neighbors.
If things go on like this, others will definitely not be able to tolerate this kind of thing.
But Lorne doesn't care.
The increase in population means an increase in tax revenue.
Only mediocre people will not be hated by others, not to mention that he originally planned to teach his neighbors how to behave.
Once Grover is taken care of, the beast will immediately find an excuse to launch a second invasion.
If the other party takes the initiative to provoke, it is exactly what he wants.
However, as a traditional noble, Celine did not want the management of the territory to be filled with vulgar commoners.
This is the value that the woman has developed over the past twenty years, and it is also the biggest point of disagreement between her and Lorne.

For example, now, Lorne asked Celine to find ways to expand the influence of civilian officials and try to recruit as many people as possible from surrounding lords, but she had a different opinion.
"The appointment of civilians will definitely cause resistance from other nobles.
We are still just a baron, and no one will pay too much attention to us.
But as time goes by, whether it is the grassland plan or the full development of the giant wolf trade, everything in the territory will come into the eyes of other families.
Some extreme bloodline theorists will definitely be dissatisfied with our behavior.
When the time comes, it will be difficult for us to have the energy to deal with those people.
So, I think” After coming to another world and inflating his ego to the extreme, Lorne became a very beast.
But he is still essentially an earthling, and his civilization has developed far beyond that of the natives of other worlds.
Lorne didn't have any professional skills, but he had a huge amount of knowledge.
He has his own ideas on how to choose between the two groups of civilians and nobles.
At this stage, the nobles are indeed far superior to the common people.
Monopolizing the high-level combat power of knights, the land was divided and managed by countless lords.
If civilians want to rebel, the chance of success is almost zero.
But the greatest advantage of the common people is the number of people.
If he wants to break the monopoly of the aristocracy and implement centralized power.
Then, the power of civilians is indispensable.
You can't rely on the transformation of people to kill all the nobles in the world.
This project is too large, and Lorne is too busy.
Besides, after killing so many people, why should he rule?
Being a fool king is not much fun.
Therefore, Lorne didn't intend to listen to what Celine thought and directly interrupted the woman, he retorted.
"Ignore those guys.
Once we gain a foothold on the grassland, nothing will be a problem.
Moreover, those nobles are a group of troublesome guys.
Commoners are more practical.
We will discuss this matter later.
Now, we continue to develop according to this momentum.
Developing grasslands is a big project.
Although the Harrison family can help us a little, without enough manpower and material resources, it is a joke.
Do you expect those nobles to live on the grassland where there is nothing?"
The difficulty of grassland development is not only the harassment of orcs, but immigration and food, clothing, housing and transportation are the biggest difficulties.
If it were just a military castle, it would really be a gatekeeper for the Harrison family.
But as a member of the aristocracy, the education Celine received prevented her from easily crossing the gap between commoners and aristocrats
