Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 257 Imperial Special Envoy

In addition to the territory and people's livelihood, the army is not the same. First of all, the military camp of 500 people was merged into the main force, which greatly strengthened Hydera's ability to fight foreign wars.

With the addition of Charlie, Monk, and Keira, Howard's command and control of the army has also been raised to a higher level.

In addition, the city defense army has also been greatly expanded, and the number of soldiers has reached 500. Although it is not as large as the main force, it has the right to mobilize conscripts to assist in patrolling, public security and city defense.

You must know that with the recruitment system of the territory, a territory with a population of 6 can attract tens of thousands of conscripts at any time. Even if they are not professional soldiers, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. After all, all beings are equal under the gun.

What's more, there is not only one wave of recruitment. It is not an exaggeration to say that all the people are soldiers, and it will definitely make any enemy feel toothache.

In addition to the army, the roots have also been strengthened, Owen has increased the number of ninja squads, and at the same time exchanged some Anbu from Naruto.

These ninjas who have devoted themselves to the darkness are the real elite, not as simple as cannon fodder or background boards. You can see how high the gold content is by looking at any of the Naruto ninjas who have been Anbu.

Another thing that has been strengthened is the religious system of the territory. This is an area that Owen proposed very early but has been difficult to perfect. Even with the appearance of Dragon Mother, it has not changed much.

Now the Holy Light Cathedral has been built, and branch temples have been built in various branch cities. There are priests from the Heroes of Invincible World and monks from the imperial era sitting in the town, and the missionary aspect is quite complete.

There is no need for Owen to worry about the sinewy priest who has mastered healing skills and can fight, and the monk who is eloquent and eloquent.

As for force, Owen established the Knights Templar as the armed force of the Holy Light Cathedral. All the Templars are good-looking and can fight, and they have all the face.

Although a lot of energy and resources were spent, the Cathedral of the Holy Light does not believe in the true God, not even God, because that is Owen wearing power armor.

Owen is not even a legend, so he naturally cannot perceive the existence of faith, so in order to avoid waste, each temple has enshrined a piece of equipment that fuses holy objects to absorb and store faith power.

This is not easy to do. You must know that apart from artifacts, even legendary weapons have nothing to do with faith, which shows the magic of holy objects.

Although the sacred objects come from the empire era with low mystery, they can condense beliefs and create miracles. They are existences with low power but high grades, so they can do this.

The sacred artifacts fused with sacred objects are not just for good looks. Under the blessing of faith, they each have unique abilities. They are also Owen's faith storage. When necessary, a full set of sacred artifacts will be blessed, and he dares to be a demigod.

While Owen was busy making final preparations, the town of Ferrier also welcomed the imperial envoy.

There is only one special envoy, but it is impossible for the special envoy to have only one person. In addition to the chief envoy, the deputy envoy, and the guards and servants, there are hundreds of people.

Among them, the special envoy personally appointed by the emperor is the Marquis of Pagasos, the deputy envoys are Earl Dekla and His Royal Highness the Ninth Princess, and there are also royal mages and royal knights guarding them all the way, and there are hundreds of servants and soldiers.

Ferrier has known this information for a long time. After all, her connections are here. Don’t expect those people to help you if it’s confidential, but she’s willing to sell her favors for trivial matters, so Ferrier can make preparations in advance. , to welcome the arrival of the special envoy.

As the special envoy of the empire, the Marquis of Pagasos is a grey-haired but strong old man. He comes from a traditional noble family, but because he has no right of inheritance, he was arranged to study in the imperial capital. Later, by chance, he became the entourage of the prince who has not yet become the emperor. Forged a deep friendship, and is still a very trusted confidant of the emperor. He is an important figure of the royalist faction, and was canonized as a marquis and a viscount.

The deputy envoy, Earl Dekla, is a standard traditional nobleman who is proud of his family's glory. Therefore, when facing the Marquis of Burgessos, who was born in a traditional nobleman but chose to be the emperor's lackey, he never concealed his disgust, thinking that he was a A clown who wears a marquis coat but only pleases the emperor.

The conflict between the two is not a special case, but an irreconcilable contradiction between the imperial aristocracy and the traditional aristocracy.

In fact, the main reason for the confrontation between the two sides is the uneven distribution of land and power, not simply because the imperial nobles are royalists.

The empire is so big, and the land rights are limited. The traditional nobles have a history almost equal to that of the empire, occupying more than half of the empire's land, and they often ignore the emperor even if they face it.

Isn't this a slap in the face of the emperor, so the royal family has been trying to take back the land and rights that were entrusted in the early days of the empire.

The question is how could the traditional aristocrats give up the land and power in their hands, and even because of the connection of interests, the traditional aristocrats once banded together to force a certain emperor in his prime to abdicate, and he died of the cold soon after. Everyone knows the facts.

With this precedent, even the emperor did not dare to force it, so the nobles with false titles canonized in the name of the empire were born.

The nobles of the empire have high titles and few fiefdoms, and most of them don’t even have actual fiefdoms. Therefore, they are naturally inferior to the traditional nobles, but they are more eager for land because of this. There is no need for the emperor to urge them. It is necessary to pull the sidelines, and there is no need to end the game in person.

Even from a certain point of view, the emergence of imperial nobles has become a stabilizer for the internal struggle of the empire.

Because both the emperor and the traditional nobles know very well that the imperial nobles can't do anything because they have no roots.

So the traditional nobles hate imperial nobles, but they don’t take it too seriously. It’s like meeting a dog that barks at you. You can kill it, but it’s not necessary. First, it depends on the owner. It can't be killed at all.

So the emperor ordered the imperial nobles to find trouble for the traditional nobles to vent their anger, and if the traditional nobles were annoyed, they would kill a few imperial nobles to show the emperor's face, but in fact neither side had any losses, the only suffering was being caught in the middle. Imperial nobles who had to rely on the emperor.

It can be said that the imperial nobles perfectly acted as a punching bag between the emperor and the traditional nobles.

Apart from these two, Her Royal Highness Nine Princesses came here as a prison officer. In other words, her existence is the eyes and ears of the emperor. She can see and hear, but cannot speak. Nothing special happened. She is similar to a mascot. can be ignored.

As for putting on the airs of the princess, hehe, the emperor has dozens of children. The older ones are middle-aged, and the younger ones can't speak. Looking at the posture, the number of children in the emperor's lifetime can exceed a hundred, so princesses and princes are really worthless. Only a few have a higher status, and the rest are tools for marriage.

However, the Ninth Princess is not all for show, she is already a high-level knight at a young age, and she can be called a genius at her age.

If she can break through to legend in the future, there may not be a place for her in the royal family.
