Lord of War

  Shaun, really seriously thought about becoming a lord.

He thought for more than half a month, and he was constantly thinking about the possibility of this matter every day. He even formulated many plans for this, and even madly digged into the brain memory storage area, all about the "lord." gaming information. But unfortunately, in the game, he was a member of the strategy team, not the management team, so the relevant information he came into contact with was basically related to various strategies, and he would come into contact with some background settings in the game. Certainly, most of them are directed at the story of the game strategy.

  Conversely, for any plot, character, location that has nothing to do with dungeons, quests, treasures, job transfers, etc., Sean is basically in a state of smearing his eyes.

  In the game at the time, he also said that this is a specialization in the art industry, and he has been very proud of it. But now... Sean really hates why he is not an all-around wizard.

  The only clue he can think of about how to become a lord is to become a pioneering knight.

  This is a well-known lord mission in "Miracle". Of course, compared to those ways to obtain territory by hiding missions, the process of this mission is actually very troublesome and difficult.

  First of all, the pioneer knight is only an identity, not a profession. What it represents is that people with this identity can send troops to fight in the name of the captain to expand the territory of the captain. Although these territories belonged to the captain in name, the actual jurisdiction over this territory lies with the pioneer knights, and how much territory can be laid down depends on the strength of the pioneer knights themselves.

   But even so, he still cannot become a lord.

  The so-called lord means that it has officially entered the noble system of a country. The pioneering knight is not a nobleman. No matter how many territories he lays down, he cannot become a lord. Although he has jurisdiction in the territory, it is not recognized by the country to which the lord belongs, so naturally it will not be recognized by the country. In the game, it was dubbed by the players as "the mercenary group with larger bases". Therefore, how to obtain a noble title has become the second step of this task, and it is also the most important step.

The quickest way is to cede a part of the territories that have been beaten to the lord, so as to directly obtain a noble title of jazz, but this method is the most undesirable, because the ceded territory is not determined by the player, but by the player. Decided by the owner. The second method is more troublesome, and that is to exchange favorability or military exploits in exchange for the title of nobleman.

  After obtaining the title of nobility, although he cannot be regarded as an official lord, his identity is at least recognized. In a country with a well-established system, a recognized identity is naturally of very important significance. This means that you can modify the laws of the territory, and even obtain the qualifications of the kingdom’s trade routes, the right to recognize all the resources in the territory, etc. , And even avoid many unnecessary wars.

After possessing the identity of "pioneering knight" and the title of "jazz", any act of pioneering territory will be regarded as legalized. After that, as long as a series of appropriate operations are carried out to turn "jazz" into "baron", it is even considered to be An official on-the-spot aristocrat with a fief, after that, he continued to climb up in the aristocratic system. It’s just that this noble title is a lifetime system rather than a hereditary system. That is to say, this territory that was slain by oneself cannot be inherited by future generations. When one dies, this territory will become the owner’s possession. .

  It is not impossible to break this restriction, just another war.

  After Sean thought about these things clearly, all that was left was to choose a suitable captain. In fact, a captain can be found in any country on the Marvel Continent, even if it is Du Luen, Sean can be canonized as a pioneer knight, and he can even be immediately given the name of a knight, enjoying the same reputation as Fregan. And status—as long as Shaun wants to.

  But is Sean willing?

Not to mention his current aversion to Durun, and the internal stability of the Kingdom of Portoroa, there is absolutely no possibility of any war and conflict. Even if there is, it is impossible to destroy a nobleman or even occupy it. His territory will eventually spit out through the negotiating table, which is not what Sean wants. So after careful consideration, Sean's eyes finally settled on the Principality of Ryan, and even the captain had been confirmed.

  Silver Sword Fairy, the thundering Valkyrie, the flower of the Principality of Ryan, the Marquis of Tonis, the jewel of the commander of the Wallold G. Evans, Asuna G. Evans.

This woman is a woman with real talents. She did not rely on the power of the family. Instead, she left the family at the age of sixteen and went to another lord to serve as a pioneer knight. After that, she spent four years. Time, climbed from a pioneering knight to the title of baroness. The territory that Asuna, who was twenty years old, smashed down was equivalent to a piece of earl, but at that time she exchanged the territories with a viscount located in the frontier region, and then used that viscount’s The territory is used as a basic development, and it is claimed that the Angrodha Mountains have since been incorporated into the territory of the Principality of Lane.

This mountain range is shared by the Principality of Lion and the Kingdom of Darbion. It is classified as having a black crystal mine that can be mined for a hundred years. This is one of the necessary materials for making high-quality equipment, and even some magic weapons are also needed. So the value of this mountain range can be imagined. At that time, two-thirds of the mountains were located in the Principality of Lane, and the other third was owned by the Kingdom of Darbion, and the most abundant part of the mountain was in the territory of the Kingdom of Darbion, so it is conceivable that, Asuna's claim is naturally impossible to be recognized.

  And Asuna was also very simple. After spending a year rectifying her territory, she sent troops directly to the Kingdom of Darbion. In the first three months of the war, Asuna’s terrifying military talent finally shocked both the Kingdom of Darbion and the Principality of Ryan, because at this time Asuna’s fighting was entirely her own private soldiers, but only three. In May, Asuna broke through the territory of one earl, three viscounts, and fourteen barons of the Kingdom of Darbion, and its territory was already equivalent to one-tenth of the Principality of Lane.

After seeing Asuna’s talents, Commander Roald dispatched his own private army to reinforce his daughter for the first time, and then began to use his power to formally increase Asuna’s troops, which completely evolved into A war between two countries. And Asuna was appointed as the commander of the war zone. Then, in the three-year war, Asuna killed and captured five commanders of the Darbion Kingdom. Among them, two of them were even well-known veteran commanders. , Let alone other nobles who lost to her hands.

  At this point, the Kingdom of Darbion has finally admitted defeat.

At this moment, Asuna did something unexpected to everyone. In addition to retaining the surrounding area of ​​the Angroda Mountains, all other territories vomited back to Darbion. You must know that at the time, Asuna The occupied territory is already equivalent to a Principality of Lane. Regarding Asuna's actions, countless people were naturally dissatisfied in the Principality, but Asuna didn't care, and all the materials raided from Darbion were invested in the construction of a fortress.

  One year later, the giant war fortress "Tonis" in the Angroda Mountains was built. This fortress blocked Darbion’s main road to the Principality of Lane, and was antagonistic to the Fortress of St. Drones stationed by Commander Roald. It was called "the left gateway of the Principality of Lane. The Groda Mountain Range was even unceremoniously incorporated into her territory by Asuna, which was exactly the size of a Marquis.

  So, Asuna, who was twenty-five years old, became the youngest Marquis of the Duchy of Ryan, Marquis of Tonis. But at this point, she gave up the right to inherit the Rowens family's main sect, but started living as a side branch, and broke away from the jurisdiction of the original lord, becoming a hereditary marquis recognized by the Kingdom of Lane.

  Now Asuna is only 26, and she is already one of the most powerful figures in the Principality of Ryan.

  Furthermore, she is not only extremely strong in military ability, she is also a Tier 6 master, and her swordsmanship is also very exquisite. At least she has three high-level swordsmanship inheritance tasks. Sean is also a swordsman now, and will also consider developing in this direction in the future, so integrating various factors, becoming the pioneering knight under Asuna's command is the most suitable.

  Of course, the main reason is that the Principality of Lane has been in war all the year round, and there is no shortage of directions that can be explored there. Going out from the left portal Tonis is the Kingdom of Darbion. Although there is no war between Darbion Kingdom and the Principality of Ryan, Sean knows that war will break out soon between the two countries. This is a once-in-a-lifetime military exploit. The opportunity to open up territory.

   and go out of the St. Drones Fortress on the right, which is the land of black soil. As long as we can find a kind of revival fire, we can restore that piece of land into a vast and fertile land. And in that land, one of the six holy cities in the world is hidden.

  The earthly ideal town. Utopia.

  There was once the territory laid by the guild that Shaun signed in the game.

  If Sean has any regrets, it is that the territory was later breached and the entire fortress was destroyed. This was the pain in the hearts of all players in the guild at that time. So now that he decided to become a lord, Sean wanted to retake that territory again, and he also swears in his heart that he must guard this territory this time and let the banner in his heart fly on the utopia forever.

  Faced with Sean’s determination to become a lord, Alfred and Cecilia could not continue to persuade them, so they could only start to prepare separately. In fact, Alfred himself does not have much opinion, because he can finally be with his daughter. Although the next journey may be very painful and tiring, Alfred is actually full of hope, at least better than The kind of despair used to be better.

  It's just that he is not sure whether Hina can endure hardship, after all, her living conditions have indeed improved a lot in recent years.

  When the three of them came down from the second floor, they saw the first floor of the Warm Wind House Hotel, and many people came. There are nearly thirty of these people, and none of them are strangers. Although Sean can’t name these people, at least they have fought together—all the survivors of the Timbersburg Civil War are here. , And although Sean and these people are not unfamiliar, he is also very curious about the reasons for these people's arrival.
