Episode 128
##128
Shortly after the Marman county was occupied, Lian’s aunt, Kenneina, and her younger brother, Cantaf, came to visit.
“Meet Your Excellency, Count. My younger siblings have troubled His Excellency.”
An unexpected person was also included, the Countess’s older brother and merchant Keroru.
He got down on one knee and made an excessive bow.
“I have heard a lot of words. Solemn Lord. From now on, I guess I should call you Baron.”
At Lian’s words, Keroru raised his head.
“Baron Myahyaar died in this war. Please take care of it. It is permitted to change the name of the place to Myahyahyahah.”
“I… Are you sure?!”
What a baron.
To be honest, I wanted to be given a different family name, but I couldn’t help it because I was active as a top tier.
In a way, the upper management was like a company, but isn’t it difficult to suddenly change the company name?
“And since my little brother is still young, my aunt, please converge and clean this land.”
“Do your best.”
The County of Marman is a much richer land than the County of Leon they wanted.
Especially since it is at the entrance to the Duchy of Brittany, you can get quite a toll without doing anything.
“And Baron Sebas.”
“yes… dismissal.”
Sebas still had a puzzled look on his face.
“I will issue Baron Seth. Since you must continue to assist me, please leave one of the crew members as your substitute. Its name is also changed from Baron Seth to Baron Sebas. And I appoint that deputy as the military commander in this land.”
“I… Are you sure? line… No sir.”
Baron Seth is the largest territory among the subterritories of Count Marman.
This action was taken to openly check his younger brother, who inherited the Maman family.
Of course, it was an unnecessary measure since Keneina was already a follower of Lian, but people don’t know what to do.
“then… As an agent, he is superior in force… … .”
Sebas, who had suddenly become a baron, showed a stuttering appearance unlike his usual cold-hearted appearance.
“I’ll leave you as the smartest of the mana users. It’s a pity for one person.”
“All right. dismissal.”
The Great Warrior cannot be left behind because he has to continue assisting Lian himself.
In fact, even one mana user is a pity.
“ruler. then. Let’s go back.”
Ryan quickly prepared to return.
The fruit of Airy Island is slowly ripening.
Shouldn’t we go pick fruit now?
“Count Leon… … !”
Count Pougeh, who was clearing the occupied land for his son-in-law, approached.
His face had shrunk a lot compared to when he was in battle, but he seemed to be in a lot of trouble.
“Oh. Are you leaving some of your troops behind for a while?”
“Of course it seems so. We have to fill the gap in security.”
Count Marman’s forces have completely evaporated in this war.
“Oh. Why don’t you give the 100 people who followed us as my younger brother’s bodyguards?”
“They don’t have much fighting power… Are you okay?”
“I just had to be sincere.”
“If you say so, I will hand it over. I can’t give anything to my son-in-law.”
It was not 100 people, but there were casualties, so it was around 70 people.
They were originally close to administrative troops, and as Puzeh said, they lacked combat power.
However, they were the ones who saw Lian’s ability with their own eyes.
‘Because I can fill up my combat power later anyway.’
Lian has plants from the Synsenrom Empire, fodder from the New Continent, and the heart of the god Janus.
With this combination, mana users can take it out. It can also awaken.
‘I have to wake up quickly, too.’
It doesn’t matter if you’re just watching because you’re young now, but if the same situation happens when you’re an adult, you’ll have to pretend to use a knife.
In this war, even though Count Fougeh seemed reckless, he wrote a narrative.
There are enemies and allies who have witnessed it, and word of it will spread.
He fought bravely on the front lines.
“Then here. break up Adios~!”
Lian flew two fingers as if in salute.
“Uh… Adios~!”
Count Pougeh was also taken aback by the appearance, and followed Lian in shouting Adios.
Being a Brittany aristocrat, he knew himself that it was out of fashion.
I knew roughly what adios was, so I misunderstood that it was an aristocratic greeting that was popular in the Ibel kingdom.
Too-ta-ta-ta-ta!!!
When Ryan drove the Auto Horse roughly, several Auto Horses followed.
Among them was his maternal grandfather, the Count of Artrone.
‘These are great knights.’
When I visited my old manor, it didn’t touch my skin.
However, immediately after the war, they were not completely able to live in their bodies.
In particular, it was in an active state driving an auto hose, so it was roughly recognizable.
‘Are there only four mid-level students?’
Count Artrone himself was a fully matured mid-ranking high-ranking officer.
He had some talent, but it was only possible because he had been raised as the sure successor of the count’s family since he was young and had received tremendous support.
‘How do you make these people your subordinates?’
Among the crew of the Going Missha, there were a total of four mid-level warriors: the vice captain, the gunsmith, Sebas, and Charlotte.
Seina could also be seen as a middle class, but since she was a priest, it was difficult to recognize her because of her different texture.
‘I guess it’s safe to say that he’s already a duke.’
With one direct county and three vassal counties, he could become a duke himself.
Of course, the Counts must be in the same area as each other.
This is because the title of duke cannot be newly created.
This was a bit complicated.
Because the title itself is a post in the ancient Roman Empire that disappeared long ago.
The ancient Rom Empire encompassed the entire continent of Yul, but as it collapsed, warlords from all over the world revolted, calling themselves barons.
That is what the current national powers were born through the integration and abolition of each other.
In other words, the barony to the duchy has already been determined.
If you wish to become a duke, you must abdicate your title to a duke with that title.
In the case of a vacancy, there is a way to effectively control 2/3 of a duchy and then pay the church to declare the title yourself.
Tutatatata!!
The Auto Horses ran fast.
Everyone except Lian was an Awakener, and instead, Lian was a master at piloting the Auto Horse, so he was able to reach the Countess of Leon in an instant.
“Waaa!”
When Lian arrived at the capital of Count Leon, the citizens cheered.
A few days ago, rumors of Lian’s arrival had spread throughout the city.
Without anyone telling them, the maidens prepared flowers and petals. The common people wanted to see Lian’s face up close.
“Ha ha ha ha! Hoi Hoi~~!”
In response to the unexpectedly warm welcome of the citizens, Lian posed again with a slightly overdone look.
Auto Horse can be driven at a skilled level… … .
‘You’re ugly… … .’
That’s how it looked in the eyes of the vice-captain.
no. Shame was the share of the Awoken.
The fashion of this era is usually close to combative, but Lian’s was very far from it.
‘Is that really what my grandson looks like?’
Count Artrone also turned his head to the side in embarrassment.
“Congratulations on the win. dismissal!!”
In front of the palace, ministers came out to meet them and greeted them cordially.
Of course, my mother-in-law and two younger brothers came out to meet me in the lead.
“thank you. oh my. My pretty younger siblings~~!”
Ryan jumped off the auto hose and ran to his brothers.
It’s really nice to have younger siblings.
It was especially good because the values had not yet been established.
Churup~ Churup~
Lian took a lollipop from her bosom and put it in the mouths of her two younger siblings.
He took out a gold coin and put it in the hand of his sister, Natalia.
“You are so kind to your younger siblings. I’m so happy. Count.”
Grandmother Masjuu said.
However, I am very upset.
‘If Crusch became Daryl’s son-in-law… He would have been Count Marman now… … .’
It would be a lie if I said it wasn’t sad.
To be honest, Count Marman’s land is much more valuable than Count Leon’s.
As well as the toll, the land is also fertile, so the food production will also differ at least twice.
“You have to brush your teeth after eating candy.”
Grandmother Masjuu patted the children on the back.
Lian flinched a little at those words, but when he thought about it, he felt relieved.
‘Because there will be priests of spring soon… … .’
It’s okay if your teeth rot.
Spring Priests can make teeth bloom like flowers that bloom in spring.
When the Priests of Spring disappeared, what nobles missed the most was their teeth.
Aristocrats eat more sweets than commoners.
“Prime Minister!”
Lian, who had been squatting and petting his younger siblings, called out as he got up.
“yes yes!! go… dismissal!!!!”
Run quickly and bow your head.
Because of this war, he felt fear of Lian’s skills.
He had already shown great ability in the succession war and the territory battle with the neighboring territory, until he went to a completely different territory with several of his subordinates and stirred them up.
The little kid in front of me felt like a huge body.
‘Isn’t this the incarnation of Mr. Tangle?’
From nob le mt l. com
Just standing in front of it made my back tingle.
“Let me run state affairs while I am away.”
“I will do my best to take care of Yeongji. dismissal!”
“And have my sister Natalia accompany me in all state affairs.”
“… Yep?!”
The chancellor showed a bewildered response to the sudden remark.
“My sister is very talented, so I will give her an early education. The Prime Minister and the butler will pay special attention to my sister’s education.”
“Choi… I will do my best.”
The substitutes are equally astonished.
“Never force education by injection. Then, I’m busy. Let’s go~ Adios~!”
After saying that, Lian went inside the palace.
I was going to take a day off and leave right away.
* * *
Ingleson’s palace.
“what?!! A high-quality mana stone mine was discovered?!”
King Ingleson jumped up from his seat and shouted.
A lottery that can offset all the expenses for this war or future land battles.
“It’s a big deal… … .”
Then, for a moment, he made a devastated face.
The order given to Lian’s maternal grandfather was to make Lian cede the Marman county to the Thrang Empire.
“It’s a terrain that’s a bit more advantageous to defend that land… … .”
Actually, Count Marman is not a very good terrain to defend, but if you look at it, the defense was more advantageous.
Especially in large-scale battles, of course, the one who defends has an advantage.
“They said that Count Leon made a new proposal.”
“hmm?! tell me.”
“The Mana Stone Mine is a wasteland on the outskirts of Count Marman, so they said they were giving up. Instead, in this war, the Marman county is on the condition that it be completely neutral… … .”
Then the words were a little different.
“The two countries asked for a guarantee of legitimacy.”
“It doesn’t matter how many Countries of Marman you give. The mana stone mine is important.”
“I gave you a deadline. Until then, neither side’s army should enter… … .”
“okay?! good. very good!!”
The Countess of Marman originally belonged to the Duchy of Normandy.
Of course, given the current troop deployment situation, Ingleson had an advantage.
“Support more troops!! Put a bill in Congress to increase the war budget.”
“Right now, the national budget is tight. The battle is in full swing in the new continent… There is also the amount promised to Roysen Kingdom… … .”
Originally, the relationship between the Synsenrom Empire and the Ingleson Kingdom was not that bad.
However, in this war, he secretly joined hands with the Kingdom of Roysen. Promised support to King Roysen.
“sh*t!! I will send a handwritten letter to King Roysen. We’re trying to keep the Serang Empire in check anyway… … .”
“There is a high probability that Congress will not approve it.”
“then. After paying off the war expenses, they say that the mana stone mine will be nationalized!!”
It hurts, but this was the maximum concession King Ingleson could make.
Anyway, if the Principality of Nord is completely separated from the Serang Empire, it will be able to return the taxes that went to the Serang Empire to itself.
In addition, if you do well, you might devour other lands of the Thrang Empire.
“All right. majesty.”
* * *
The Thrang Empire was also turned upside down.
The situation suffered huge losses in the naval battle with Ingleson this time.
“It is in a very exquisite location.”
The arrogant tone of the emperor of the Thrang Empire.
He was an emperor who was strangely loved by the people.
Even though he was a person who committed adultery like eating rice.
-If it’s our majesty, of course it should be.
-As expected, he is manly like the emperor of the great Serang Empire.
It was a strange atmosphere where you would be forgiven no matter what.
“It is. your majesty. There are no mana stone mines around here, so distribution costs can be reduced, making huge profits… … .”
Mana stones are difficult to handle because they are sensitive.
Although the volume is small, it was not easy to distribute.
“Beat the troops and pour them out.”
“how much… … .”
“just. harness. very. continue. Let it pour.”
Following the eastern part of the Yule Continent, the winds of great war began to blow in the western part as well.
