The reason why Sui Xiong came to Keen Territory was that he wanted to revisit his old place, but the more important reason was to help them solve their troubles.
In recent months, Baron Keen has encountered some very difficult problems. This trouble was beyond the limit that they could handle on their own - or, in other words, beyond the level that they could solve at a low cost, so they sent out a request for help from the Church of the Mask of the Void.
Ordinarily, sending a group of elite clergymen and finding one or two legendary powerhouses would be enough to solve this kind of problem. But Sui Xiong, who was still and restless, suddenly had a whim and wanted to come back to see with his own eyes the territory that he had devoted so much effort to. Therefore, he did not tell anyone and secretly transformed into the appearance on the earth alone. Got here.
Sitting in the city of Keen at this moment, he had a somewhat complicated mood - Creek Keen's life was also a part of his life, and Creek's deep feelings for this land and its residents were also inherited by him. He felt gratified to see that this city that had been away for many years was still prosperous and was still walking on the path he had set. At the same time, he also felt a deep responsibility.
"Maybe... I should come back often over the years to visit..."
Immortals often encounter this problem. Because of the extremely extended life span and long cultivation, they lack the concept of mortal time. For example, if a large-scale military exercise is held in the "sanctuary", from the time they decide to engage in this to It is normal for it to take two or three years to design and build positions, then to the planning and preparation of both sides, and then officially start the war, plus the summary after the war. And all of this is just a little entertainment in his spare time for Creek Keane, the commander-in-chief of the Legion of God.
It's not that Sui Xiong has never thought about coming back to take a look, but in his opinion, this matter is not urgent. With the legendary strongman Luo Meng around, the Keen Territory is as stable as a mountain. Even if Romon is just a parallel import legend who breaks through the limits with his civil service, no matter how parallel import he is, he is still a legendary strongman, which is enough for a mere baron.
It was not until recently, after the two parties had a detailed discussion because Master Damwede had conferred the title of god, that he realized that twenty years had passed by quietly without realizing it. Many old friends had passed away, and most of the remaining ones were not old enough. Smaller. If I don't procrastinate any longer, maybe I won't be able to see even a familiar face when I revisit the old place.
He was immediately moved, and after checking, he found out that the Keen Territory was currently facing a lot of trouble and needed help.
So he left his clone to sit in the Kingdom of God, and his true body changed into the appearance of "Sui Xiong" that no one could recognize, and came here quietly.
Looking at the familiar but changed streets, he felt a little emotional in his heart. Although there was a lot of sighing about the passage of time, it was more of a sense of pride.
The road he has traveled must leave traces. In less than ten years, he left deep traces on this territory. Not only has this trace not been diluted by time, but it has turned into a river bed, becoming more profound as the river of time flows.
This is just like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in ancient China on earth. Although the period from the uprising to the failure and death was actually only a short period of time. But their cry of "Princes and generals would rather live together" has since pointed out the way forward for the Chinese nation, leading generations of people to fight against tyranny, changing dynasties again and again, and establishing a unique "rebellion culture" in the world. and will continue to do so.
In the eyes of many Westerners, the Chinese tradition of not caring about their noble bloodline and being able to fight without any pressure is really barbaric. However, in the eyes of the Chinese, those losers who refuse to resist even after being bullied to the point of being unhappy have simply disgraced human beings - what the hell are they different from dogs!
All of this actually just comes from that cry...
Of course, what Creek Keen did was not as great as Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, but even with the Northwest Republic established by the Mask of the Void blocking the way, Keen Territory has become a place that attracts attention—relatively As a mysterious country with a remote location and the presence of gods, this territory located in the densely populated area of Thunder Principality has been changing and progressing little by little under people's attention. Now its entire progress has been summarized and compiled into a book by thoughtful people. Almost every noble on the mainland who is interested in building and prospering their own territory will put this booklet, commonly known as "The Book of Gene", in their study. On the desk, I often study and study with the same level of concentration as white-collar workers on the earth study the Carnegie series of books.
Judging from the situation in recent years, the overall impact is relatively positive. More and more enlightened nobles gradually began to agree, or at least partially agreed, with the governance concepts proposed by Creek, and the living conditions of the people in many places were gradually improving.
But in contrast, there are many nobles who are hostile to his ideas. Many nobles denounce them as fallacies and heresies. They believe that this policy strategy completely violates the fine traditions of the nobles. Some even severely criticize him for betraying his ancestors and forgetting his ancestors. , is tantamount to rebellion.
The former are mainly the emerging nobles. They have a shallow foundation, but as the saying goes, a small boat can easily turn around, and as long as they can quickly grow themselves, other things are not worth worrying about. The latter are naturally those old nobles, especially the big nobles. They have deep foundations and huge power. They don't care about this benefit at all, but they are very wary of the growth of emerging nobles and spare no effort to suppress them.
The difference in policy plans is a good reason for suppression.
It can be seen that there will inevitably be a battle over how to manage the territory.
The most direct impact of this battle is the trouble Keenland is currently facing.
I don't know if it was to suppress the Keen Territory. Not long ago, the Thunder Principality adjusted the fiefdoms of its nobles and conferred a new viscount near the Keen Territory. This viscount was originally a baron with no actual fiefdom. He led a group of mercenaries and the family's private army to fight against swamp species such as lizardmen in the northwest of the principality near the great swamp. Not long ago, he got lucky and established a great career. Due to his great achievements, not only was his title raised by one level, but he was even granted a real title—his fiefdom was located in the south of Keen Territory, covering a large mountainous area and a small plain, with a total of one manor and three villages.
In terms of fiefdom, this viscount is actually almost at the level of a baron. But the military strength under his command is definitely more than this level, and is even stronger than most viscounts, making him a powerful enemy.
Originally, Anna Keen did not regard this new neighbor as an enemy. Unexpectedly, after this guy came to the fiefdom, he kept having conflicts with the Keen leader. It was as if he had taken the wrong medicine. She was surprised, and after some investigation with the help of her husband Stephen Carter's family, she found out that Viscount Thun Samat turned out to be the best friend of the second son of the Grand Duke of Thunder, and the second son of the Grand Duke was a young traditional aristocrat. Representative figure of the radicals of the era.
In other words, the purpose of arranging for Viscount Samat to come here was actually to deal with the Keen Territory.
And this Viscount Samat is indeed very capable. He is a high-level order warrior who believes in the God of Nobles - a variant of the paladin. The requirements for faith are not so strict, and his combat effectiveness is more focused on group combat. He has many soldiers under his command. At least four high-level adventurers, and two mysterious figures from the capital.
Not only that, he also has about two hundred troops under his command, all of whom have been trained for at least five years and have no less than ten actual combat experiences. There are even some special talents brought from the Great Swamp... Because they are well hidden, their identities are not yet known.
The most troublesome thing is not these, but his special trophy - a magic altar transformed from a totem pole from a tribe in the Everglades.
The natives of the Everglades generally believe in ancestral spirits, and the totem pole is the place where the ancestral spirits reside. After years of worship, it often becomes extraordinary and holy, and is almost the highest grade altar material in the world. The altar transformed from the totem pole has incredible power. As long as there is a high-level priest sitting on the altar, he can even fight with Mr. Romon in an inseparable manner.
It is precisely for this reason that Keenland suffered losses in several conflicts. Although it was only a small loss, it made everyone very worried. At the suggestion of Mr. Luo Meng, they sent a letter of request for help to the Church of the Mask of the Void.
The Church of the Mask of the Void sent more than twenty church knights headed by "Iron Giant" Gerald. This group of knights was powerful. The leader Gerald even had a green dragon as a mount, which stabilized the situation as soon as they arrived. .
However, with such strength, it is not difficult to defeat Viscount Samat, but it is not enough to truly solve the problems faced by Keen Territory.
And Sui Xiong himself is here to help them solve the problem completely...
