The Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 560: Guests at the castle

Views:

One day after Kant had been developing quietly for a year, four distinguished guests welcomed four distinguished guests in the Lion Castle in the South County of the Lion Principality. They were the four top nobles of the Lion Principality, Earl Cody Mode, Simon Earl of Pulan, Earl of Rowan Rhys, Earl of Seth Eno.

As we all know, the four top nobles are all vassals of the Grand Duke Cameron, but none of them obey the orders of the Grand Duke Cameron.

In the eyes of all the nobles of the Lion Principality, the families of the four top nobles are powerful families that can compete with the Cameron family of the Duke of Lions, and in fact, it is true. Whether it is the strength shown by the four major families or the strength they really possess, they are not inferior to the Cameron family.

If it wasn't for the fact that their family's real "fiefdom" was located in the Principality of the Lion, they might not have become the top nobles of the Principality of the Lion, but they might have established a principality by themselves. They have such power.

Lion Fort is a large fortress with no less than 5,000 elite heavy cavalry stationed inside. However, it is a little strange that almost all of these 5,000 elite heavy cavalry are cavalry at the formal knight level. Five of them, each leading an official knight order, that is, 1,000 people.

Such a situation is of course quite strange, even among the upper-class nobles in the South County Territory, ordinary viscounts, and slightly powerful baron families, there will not be only five great knights. Lion Castle is recognized as the number one castle in the South County. There are only 5 great knights, which is too shabby and weird.

"Count Maud, Count Plan, Count Rhys, Count Ino, please come in!" A man who looks somewhat similar to Kant, has long blond hair but has blue eyes, and his aura is no less than the peak of a great knight. The young man of the top nobles of the Lion Principality stood upright at the gate of the Lion Castle to welcome the four top nobles of the Lion Principality.

Obviously, this is not a sudden visit, but an official visit that has already greeted the owner of Lion Castle in advance.

"Carl, you have a good brother!" Earl Cody Maude said with a smile, but the smile was not very warm.

Carl Cameron, the eldest son of Duke Cameron of the Lion, is currently in charge of the entire Lion Castle.

At this moment, Karl heard Earl Cody Maude's words, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes, but he was a qualified nobleman, and he quickly hid his emotions.

At this moment, he replied to Count Cody Maud with the same smile on his face: "Thank you for your compliment, Count Maud, if Kant knows that you have praised him so much, he will be very happy, and maybe he will thank you personally .”

"Hmph, I can't afford Baron Kant's thanks. After meeting him, I'll be content if he doesn't force me to call him my lord!" Baron Cody Moder said a little unhappy.

"Okay, Maude! Don't waste any time, Karl will take us in. Has Lord Cameron entrusted you with the matter?"

"Yes, Count Ino!"

Lionheart City is the only territory that Kant has not changed much. It is still regarded as a large trading city by Kant. The port of Lionheart City handles a large amount of goods every day. Horse-drawn carriages packed the wide road to the brim. It's just that among these carriages, more than half belong to the people of Kant, who come from the world of riding and hacking. They kept transporting all kinds of goods from cities such as Drehem, Aaron, Veluga, and Gelkala in exchange for golden golden eagles, and then used the golden eagles to find Baron Kant's caravan in exchange for lovely dinar.

In Lionheart City, the original population of this world is not excluded, they can obtain the qualifications to live. Kant, the four major urban areas, has not changed either. The upper-class nobles who settled in Lionheart City still live in the east area of Lionheart City with peace of mind. Even the prosperity of Kant's territory has driven the prosperity of Lionheart City. The current population of Lionheart City is one-third larger than before, with a scale of 200,000 people.

In the City Lord's Mansion in the central area of Lionheart City, Kant stood in a side hall where the sand table of the entire Lion Principality was placed. He was thinking about how to start the war.

He has several choices now. One, he can choose to complete the main mission, completely conquer the Lion Principality, and become the sole ruler of the Lion Principality. On the other hand, he can also choose to explore the fief granted by the will of the world to become a nobleman of the world—— Baron Kant Isai Cameron.

According to the information instilled in him by the will of the world, once he explores and successfully cultivates his own fiefdom—according to the information given by the will of the world, it is a huge demiplane—the divine kingdom of ancient gods who fell to the ground. Formed on the host world.

However, Kant still prefers to complete the main task of the system at this time.

Kant once went alone to the coordinates given to him by the will of the world in the Nalun Desert, and through the power of war, he opened a portal and entered that demiplane to view it. That demiplane was actually formed after the sun god's kingdom transformed into stars fell from the sky and mounted on the main plane of this Isai world.

That demiplane is not peaceful, because it is completely functioning like a complete world. Its area is as huge as ten principalities of lions, and there are also humans in it, and there are a lot of them—Kant has sneaked into their library to check the information, and knows that these people are descendants of the sun god. Thousands of years have made them forget the original glory, but the blood of the gods still endowed them with great power. Conquering that demiplane is much more difficult than conquering the Principality of Lions.

The descendant of the Sun God on the main plane, Kant remembered that he was taught by the Pope of the Sun God, and packaged and sacrificed all of them to the plane of the undead. He wanted to exchange for the power of eternal life, but in the end he just became a pathetic half-witch. demon.

Now, Kant's power is already very strong, at least against the Lion Principality on the bright side, it is completely crushing.

Of course, if the five world nobles in the Principality of Lions hide in their own fiefs—similar to Kant, if all the power in the half-plane obtained by Kant is used to compete with Kant, Kant is still not fully sure. But not too afraid.

If the five nobles of the world unite against him, Kant, then this battle will naturally be extremely difficult. But if they don't unite against him, his main mission will be extremely easy. After all, Kant did not intend to occupy the demi-plane of the five world nobles mounted on the main plane of the Isai world, although the coordinates of their demi-plane mounted are in the South County of the Lion Principality.

There is no need to do this, the more demiplanes the better, and having them does not simply mean increasing the land. It also represents the need to resist the invasion of demons in the demiplane. At this time, the demiplane formed by the kingdom of the sun god did not show any traces of demonic invasion, probably because Kant hadn't really "cultivated" him yet.

After he occupied that half-plane, it became his veritable "fiefdom". At that time, driven by the will of Yisai World, if the random space channel created when the endless abyss invaded the upper plane was connected with In the case of Sai World, it is possible that the space channel will be transferred to his "fiefdom" by Sai World's world will.

If he wants not to become a demon, even if he has a system, he has to help Isai world resist the invasion of demons until the space channel is closed, or he himself forcibly closes the space channel.

Kant thought about the situation in the Principality of Lions, and then said to himself: "Easy first, then difficult, first completely take down the leader of the East County. Then take the lead in the South County!"

In fact, as the sects of various countries jointly stated that Kant was not a person who took refuge in the devil, but a noble nobleman. Many nobles in the East County wanted to take refuge in Kant again, and even many upper-level nobles in the South County , have secretly sent envoys to contact Kant, expressing his intention to serve.

Only Kant completely rejected it.

Does he, who has already developed, need the input of these nobles

No need at all, his overall strategy has changed.

In the past, he was still a little worried. If he really occupied all the territories on the earth, would he really want to slaughter all the human beings for the sake of forming a pure riding and hacking empire in his heart? But the existence of the half-plane fiefdoms of the world's nobles helped him solve this problem that bothered him very much.

At that time, he only needs to drive the population out of the land he occupies. When he really occupies all the territories on the land, he can drive those populations to the fiefdoms of the nobles of the world. After all, Kant had no intention of conquering and seizing the fiefdoms of those world nobles. That's big trouble.

Although Kant thought he had a cold and resolute heart, he still instinctively rejected the choice to slaughter all the human beings in this world. So much so that when the plan was first formulated, some positions were left for the nobles and commoners of this world. But now it is not needed.

"Ville, send an order to Bestur to start attacking the entire East County and empty the entire East County! Those who are willing to leave, expel them, and those who are unwilling, let them bury their homeland forever!"

Kant calmly issued this war order that was destined to trigger a bloody storm.

Weier is the mage leader responsible for Kant's information transmission. After he obeyed Kant's order, he took the order and left.

"Mander, you lead 200 Swadian royal knights, 200 Sarion lion knights, and 200 mages to support Bestur! Bring the flag of deterring the enemy and the horn of commanding power!" Wait until mage Weil leaves Afterwards, Kant gave an order to a Swadian royal knight beside him, and Mander was his name.

All of Kant's troops have gradually become four-level and five-level advanced units, that is, the sixth-level Swadia Royal Knights, Sarion Lion Knights, and Ernfas Empire Mages, each with 1,000 soldiers. The huge Calradia Empire-this is the name Kant planned to give his empire-has gradually taken shape, and the prosperous economy is enough to support Kant's huge high-level army.

It's just that level 6 is already the upper limit, and the system seems to have no way to upgrade the troops to the truly extraordinary realm.

Kant's current dinar deposits are increasing rapidly every week. Kant used up all the experience he had gained in successive wars, and upgraded all the arms to the highest level that could be raised.

With a huge population base, Kant no longer had to worry too much about the number of soldiers.

After giving the order, Kant set his sights on the remaining half of the South County collar on the sand table.

This half of South County is densely covered with manors and castles. Because it is next to the Reese Niston River, this part of the land is the richest land in the entire South County, and it is also the richest land in the entire Lion Principality.

The best land is naturally occupied by the strongest nobles. These manors and castles belong to the upper nobles of the Lion Principality. In fact, 100% of the power of the Lion Principality, these upper nobles can occupy 80%.

This last half of the South County Territory, even without the intervention of the five world nobles, is still a tough bone.

With Kant's current power and army strength, it is inevitable to crush them, but it is estimated that the army's losses will not be small.

At this moment, a Swadia royal knight came over and reported to Kant respectfully: "My lord, Earl Cody Maud, Earl Simon Porlan, Earl Rowan Rhys, Seth Ian Count Noble, Viscount Carl Cameron, please see me."

Kant raised his head: "The four top nobles of the Lion Principality, and my brother who has never met?"

What do they come to me for? The five guys standing behind are the five real world nobles of the Lion Principality. Those powerful upper nobles of the Lion Principality are not even qualified to know their existence.

"Take them to the main hall, I'll come later!" Kant recalled the words of Edmund, the god of war, before he disappeared: "I'm afraid, these five guys are not good at coming!"

In the hall of the Lord's Mansion of Lionheart City, Earl Cody Moder, Earl Simon Pullan, Earl Rowan Rees, Earl Seth Eno, and Viscount Carl Cameron, these five can be described as the most famous in the Principality of Lions. The powerful man was brought to the hall of the city lord's mansion by the Swadian royal knights, and the attendants brought delicious and sweet drinks in time.

But this delicious and sweet drink tasted the same to the five of them.

"Carl, your little brother is so arrogant! How dare you make us wait for him?" Earl Simon Poulein said dissatisfiedly. Among the five, I am afraid that except for Carl Cameron, he is the most dissatisfied with Kant. When Kant captured Lionheart City a year ago, among the four gates of Lionheart City, the gate garrison he sent lost. The tragedy was that the entire army was almost wiped out, and 3,000 troops were not a small number.

"Count Purlan, please be patient. I will take the place of my younger brother, Baron Kant, to accompany you. After all, he has not received an orthodox aristocratic education, and some flaws in aristocratic etiquette are inevitable." Carl Cameron's voice He spoke softly, but the gloom in his eyes flickered away. For Kant, Karl was jealous and hated, this younger brother who had never been in his eyes, or even regarded as never had, had climbed onto his head at this time.

What he was thinking in his heart was how to persecute Kant severely later.
