From pioneer lord to king

The two chatted a lot these days, but no one mentioned the marriage contract, and no one asked "will you or not", as if they didn't know anything about it.

Maybe they all know that being born in a noble family, whether they want it or not can't change anything. This matter has been determined and cannot be changed.

Even if they didn't know each other before, they must learn to accept each other now.

Personal feelings are nothing to cherish, family interests are above all else!
Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, and the engagement ceremony was successfully held in the church in Horey City. Witnessed by the priest, Ryan and Aisha completed the tedious ceremony, and finally exchanged rings with each other.

The ring Ryan prepared for Aisha was the one he captured after defeating Baron Bruce, which can enhance the power of extraordinary power.

This is the only extraordinary equipment on Ryan other than the [Soul Eater Ring]. Even now, it still has a certain increase in Ryan.

Similarly, Aisha, who is a magician, can also use it. Ryan took out this ring to express his importance to Aisha and the Marton family.

The ring Aisha took out was not ordinary, but also an extraordinary piece of equipment. With the background of the Marton family, this is not a problem.

This ring can inspire a 360° magic shield with no dead angle defense at a critical moment. It should be used for self-defense considering that Ryan is about to go to the battlefield.

This is enough to reflect the importance the Marton family attaches to this marriage.

Since it was just an engagement ceremony, Ryan didn't make a big announcement, but held a small banquet in the castle, and all the high-level officials from all sides of the territory came.

After all, Aisha will be the hostess of the territory in the future, so it's time to see each other.

In this world, especially in the circle of human aristocrats, the attitude towards marriage is very solemn. The two have already exchanged rings, and this matter has basically been concluded.

Even if Ryan unfortunately died in battle on the snow field, Aisha is still a member of the Black family.

As night fell, the banquet was drawing to a close, and the guests who participated were leaving one after another.

After the last guest left, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief and came to Aisha and Kailinman.

Since the beginning of the banquet, Kailinman has been pulling Aisha and talking non-stop. The two are talking and laughing happily, and they are still holding hands. It is obvious that Mrs. Kailinman is very satisfied with Aisha.

Such a scene is naturally what Ryan hopes to see. He still feels a little guilty after hearing too much conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in his previous life.

However, Kailinman and Aisha belong to the kind of gentle people, and they should get along very well.

As soon as the two saw Ryan coming, they both shut their mouths tacitly, and Ryan was puzzled for a while.

"Ray, I'm a little tired, so I'm going to rest first. You have to take care of Aisha, understand?" Kailinman stood up, put Aisha's little hand in Ryan's and said.

Aisha seemed to blush easily, and with just one movement, her cheeks were stained with two blushes.

Kailinman gave Ryan a meaningful look, and then returned to the room with Susan who was poking around.

For a while, there were only Ryan and Aisha left.

Ryan looked at the pretty woman in front of him, smiled and said: "Beautiful lady, are you interested in going out for a walk? The moonlight is beautiful tonight."

……

Half an hour later, the two came to a short hill outside the city, which was the highest place around Doman City.

As Ryan said, the night sky tonight is beautiful, cloudless, and densely packed with stars dotted the sky like gems, exuding charming brilliance.

"It's really rare to see such a starry sky at this time of year." Aisha murmured softly, looking at the stars all over the sky.

Ryan clenched the catkin in his hand, and said with a smile: "Maybe this is to bless us?"

There was a light in Elsa's eyes, she smiled, and finally said nothing.

The two stood there strangely, looking at the stars in the sky, with different thoughts.

"I'm going to report to the army in two days." Ryan said suddenly.

Aisha bit her red lips lightly, and said in a low voice, "Then I'll go with you."

Ryan was stunned. He turned his head to look at the fiancee standing beside him. She was wearing a light blue dress today, like a slim jade blue flower.

She looked up at Ryan with determination in her eyes.

He smiled suddenly, and said into her eyes: "If I dare to take you there, Your Excellency the Viscount will not spare me. Besides, it is not suitable for you to go to the bitter cold place in the north."

A trace of stubbornness suddenly appeared in Aisha's eyes: "Why can you all go, but I can't?"

Ryan was at a loss for words for a while. He wanted to say that war is a man's business, but in this world, there are not a few female superhumans in the army. As an intermediate magician, it is obviously inappropriate for Aisha to say this.

But he didn't want Aisha to follow him from the bottom of his heart. After all, anything could happen on the battlefield. If something happened to Aisha, how could he have the face to see Chelsea?I will regret it for the rest of my life.

The two just looked at each other like this, and neither of them meant to give in, and the atmosphere was a little dignified for a while.

"I... just want to help you." Looking at each other for a long time, Aisha finally lowered her head and said softly.

Ryan felt that something in his heart was touched. Looking at the person in front of him, he hesitated a little, and then firmly hugged him into his arms.

The two just hugged each other like this, without saying anything, but it seemed that they had said everything, at this moment, silence speaks louder than words.

On a small hill far away from them, Sterling sat on the ground with his sword in his arms, looked at the two people who were embracing each other and whispered softly: "Patriarch, Lei finally has his other half, the girl is very good, if you still Now, I will definitely be very satisfied.”

The next day, Ryan held a high-level meeting of the territory, and spent two days and two nights setting the development direction of the territory for the next three years.

The main thing is to focus on stable development. At present, the territorial trade is expanding year by year, especially the water trade, which has become one of the economic pillars of the territorial development, so just continue to expand and extend according to the current direction.

The construction speed of Linshan City is also accelerating, and it is expected that it will be completed in the next two years. At that time, Doman City and Chelte City will also undergo a large-scale transformation. Ryan has already agreed with Hevian and other government officials. Just proceed step by step.

In the next few years, the focus will still be on the development of technology and the expansion of population size.

Ryan put together some of his ideas about rune technology and wrote it into a book, hoping to bring some inspiration to Liman and the others. It will depend on them how they develop in the future.

Although the population has been increasing by various means in recent years, it is only about 7 people so far. Fortunately, the mountain people have made good progress.

In the past time, Duluth had persuaded twelve small tribes and formed a territory sightseeing group to visit the territory. The response was pretty good, and some tribes already had the intention of relocating.

This is a very good start. The scale will become larger and larger in the future, and the population problem will be alleviated. However, how to get along with the locals is the main problem when integrating such a large-scale immigrant population.

Fortunately, the territory has expanded rapidly in recent years, and the officials of the government affairs department are very experienced in dealing with these problems.

Finally, it is about the arrangement of the left behind personnel. This time the situation is a bit special, because the "Tiankeng" war is imminent, so Ryan must determine a military commander who will preside over the overall situation.

Looking at the circle of generals in front of him, Ryan pondered for a while before saying, "Order."

Everyone stood up suddenly, and the heels of their shoes made a uniform collision sound.

"This time, Allen will go with me as my adjutant. I will take the first battalion with me."

"Obey." Allen responded.

"In addition, De Lai is fully responsible for the 'Tiankeng' operation, and the second to fifth battalions, as well as the directly subordinate heavy armored brigade, mountain people's brigade, and artillery battalion are all left to you.

Moreover, Mr. Sterling will serve as the chief military advisor of the territory this time. He has the fullest understanding of the devil, so you can listen to his opinions more. "

De Lai said solemnly: "Obey, the task must be completed."

"Very well, everyone, I will leave the safety of the territory to you for the rest of the time." Ryan got up and said solemnly.

"We must do our best!"

----

Two days later, Ryan led the first battalion on the journey. This time, apart from Allen, there were several staff members from the staff department, and Evans was among them. Nurse.

Because the territory is also needed, neither Dania nor Lilia went out with the army this time, but this time with the addition of Aisha, the medical ability has not declined, but has been enhanced.

A mid-level magician of the mysterious department will be able to play a huge role in the army.

From Karna to the western border, Ryan's team walked for more than [-] days on the road, mainly because they carried too much luggage.

The 1000st Battalion is the main field force of the Kanna Territory. It is one of the first troops to complete the transformation. There are more than [-] people in the whole battalion, all of which are equipped with iron breastplates, and then there are knives, hand crossbows, grenades made of crystal bombs, etc. , can be described as fully armed.

Ryan cherishes his life very much. If he doesn't have a sufficiently elite army around him, he won't feel at ease.

After arriving at the destination, Ryan first visited the Grand Duke of the Western Territory, Houston O'Neill, known as the Shield of the Kingdom, according to the etiquette.

Compared with Douglas, Grand Duke of the Southern Territory, this one is a little more friendly, and he is even more generous in praising Ryan. Although it is all about scenes, there is not much pressure to get along with him.

"Your Highness, what is the mission of our legion?" Ryan asked pretending not to know the inside story.

The Grand Duke of the Western Territory smiled and said, "Before arranging missions, you should read the information of the Ninth Legion."

As he said that, he handed a bound booklet to Ryan. Ryan raised his eyebrows slightly. The material used was actually "Kana brand" yellow paper. It seems that the products in the territory are indeed very popular.

I glanced at Houston from the corner of my eye, and found that there was no special expression on his face.

He opened the booklet and read it ten lines at a glance. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should be happy or depressed.

Happily, the Ninth Army is an expanded army, with a full eight battalions, which is close to 9000 people. In addition to the first battalion he brought, the number exceeds [-].

Ryan has never commanded an army of this size. After all, the entire Kanna Territory has an army of less than 6000 people, and it has never been fully attacked.

But what made him depressed was that more than half of the members of the Ninth Legion were rookies with little combat experience, which would lead to a significant drop in the combat effectiveness of the entire legion.

To be honest, Ryan would rather have five thousand veterans than so many rookies.

The only consolation is that the weapons and equipment are all configured according to the configuration of the Frontier Corps, and they have all received military training for half a year, so they are not pure recruits.

"Your Highness, this seems a bit out of order. According to the laws of the Kingdom, the number of recruits in the Frontier Legion cannot exceed 30.00% of the total. The Ninth Legion is almost halfway through."

Even though the identities of the two parties are very different, Ryan will not give up the rights that should be fought for. After all, he is the one who will lead this army to the battlefield.

The Grand Duke of the Western Territory remained unchanged, motioned for Ryan to sit down and said: "The laws of the kingdom are indeed stipulated in this way, but special treatment is given in special times. To tell you the truth, your mission this time is not to fight the orcs, but to lead the troops northward and participate in the first battle." Four Kuwait campaigns.

This time, His Majesty has made up his mind to regain the kingdom territory lost in the Second Battle of Kuwait. Therefore, in addition to the 10 troops of the Northern Army, 3 people will be sent from the southern border and the western border to go north.

You know, it's going to put a lot of pressure on us. "

Ryan immediately understood that the feeling was trying to gather the number of people. At least half of the 3 people transferred from the Western Territory must be recruits, right?

Sure enough, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. Compared with the battle in the north, the west is Houston's basic situation. He has a conscience not to arrange all the recruits.

But understanding is understanding, he is the one who went to the battlefield, no matter how much he drops, he has to give some compensation or something?

Perhaps hearing Ryan's subtext, Houston smiled and said, "I know this is unfair to you, Viscount Black, so I can give you some compensation. I will satisfy whatever you want if it is reasonable."

As soon as these words came out, Ryan's profiteer value instantly exploded.

He rubbed his hands together and said, "Since you said so, then I have the audacity to ask you for a team of battle magicians. This request is not too much."

Houston frowned and said, "How many people do you want?"

Ryan stretched out a hand and shook it: "50 people, according to the normal configuration ratio."

Houston frowned and thought for a while, and finally agreed with Ryan's lion. Fifty people are not a small number, but it's nothing to be able to play their value.

"Okay, I agree, go and receive your troops, give you a week to rest, and then go north directly with the Eighth and Tenth Legion."

"As you wish." Ryan was very happy when the goal was achieved.

Don't look at how few 50 people are, they are not inferior to a field battalion in terms of strength enough to display on the battlefield.

A week later, Ryan, who had completed the initial integration of the army, led his team to the battlefield in the north... (End of this chapter)
