From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 28 Fief Division (for collection)

In the early morning of the next day, Ryan walked alone on the field ridge, the late autumn wind blowing on his face, showing a chill.

He watched the fish-belly gradually appearing in the sky, gradually calmed down, looked at the ring on his hand, and was a little dazed.

He had seen this ring in the hands of his grandfather and father before, but now it was in his hands.

His grandfather's words were still ringing in his ears, and Ryan didn't know whether to search for it. On the one hand, it was his grandfather's teachings, and on the other hand, he was yearning and curious about the mysterious place.

What a shocking and yearning world where everyone is extraordinary.

"Phew... I can't hurt my family just because of a momentary curiosity, right? When I have the strength to fear nothing, I can follow the glory of my ancestors."

The soft whispers of self-questioning and self-answering were carried away with the autumn wind. In a trance, Ryan seemed to see a barren land, a blood-stained city wall, flags waving in the wind, and spears shining like a forest...

The abyssal demons slapped on the city wall layer by layer like a tide, and their cries and wailing echoed in the endless battlefield. The blood mist covered the sun...

"Ray, what are you doing here?"

Ryan was interrupted by the arrival of Sterling.

"Teacher, you are always so elusive." Ryan shook his head, squatting on the edge of the field without any image, watching the farmers from door to door yelling folk songs and coming out for a day's work. For a while, he felt a little emotional. He hadn't been so leisurely for a long time. .

"I didn't want to disturb you at first, but a guest is coming today, and you have to meet him." Sterling still had a warm smile on his face.

"Who?"

"There are people from the capital, about your fief division and canonization ceremony."

"That must be seen." Ryan stretched his waist. The leisure time is coming to an end. If you want to live well in this world, you can't stop.

The special envoy of the Royal Capital could not be neglected. Mrs. Kailinman mobilized the servants from all over the manor to sweep it from the inside to the outside, and prepared to welcome him in a grand manner.

Ryan and the others also put on more luxurious clothes and waited respectfully under the autumn sun.

It wasn't until noon that I saw a carriage approaching surrounded by several cavalrymen. The carriage was majestic but not luxurious, and the wheels made a "creaking" sound on the stone road.

The blue-backed sword and shield banner of the royal family fluttered in the autumn wind, representing absolute authority and power in this land.

The carriage was parked outside the courtyard, and a middle-aged man in brocade clothes got out of the carriage. Ryan immediately went up to greet him, and saluted respectfully: "The Black family salutes you, Lord Viscount Ambushi."

"Greetings to you, Baron Lane. And you, Mrs. Kelinman." Viscount Amboshi was a very kind court nobleman, and he did not hold himself high because of his high title and status as a special envoy.

Everyone sat down in the hall, and the old butler Deman took Susan, Amy and others away with great interest, leaving Alan, Drey, Ryan and Kailinman alone.

Originally, Ryan hoped that Sterling would also stay, but he left on the grounds that he wanted to instruct Susan on swordsmanship.

Viscount Ambushi said bluntly: "The day of the canonization ceremony is set at noon on November [-]st, and His Majesty will personally canonize the heroes of the Northern Expedition at that time.

Baron Ryan needs to arrive at the capital at least three days in advance to learn court etiquette.And I have another very important thing to do today, and that is your territory division.

Although the canonization ceremony is still early, the regulations have already been set. "

I saw him take out a scroll that he carried with him, and when he opened it, it was a map of the kingdom. It was just strange that the border area of ​​the whole map was marked in more detail, but the rest of the map was only divided into provinces. rough.

He laid out the map on the table, and said to Ryan and the others: "Because of your outstanding contribution on the battlefield, His Majesty decided to give you the Sword of the Pioneer, and you can choose one of these places as your territory. "

Ryan was overjoyed when he heard the words. He thought it was a direct division, but he didn't expect that he still had a choice.

Several people hurriedly looked at where Anboxi was pointing, and found that except for the northern and central regions, there were three territories to choose from in the other three regions.

Ryan first ruled out the east. Although the territories in the east have access to the sea and are rich in resources, Ryan can only give up the murlocs alone.

After all, although the Black family has some money, it is still a bit stretched to use it to build a fleet, and there is no talent among them to command naval battles.

Then the places you can choose are the southern border and the western border. These two places have their own advantages and disadvantages. The southern region has a pleasant climate, fertile land, and rice crops twice a year. It is the kingdom's granary.

But they are all under the threat of orcs and monsters.

The western region is mostly mountainous, but it is rich in minerals and smelting. Each of the three territories has several hills, and even the resource points are marked. Ryan and the others are very excited.

However, these lands are all in the main attack direction of the orcs, and the defensive pressure is relatively high, and the land is barren and cannot grow much food, and food will still need to be imported.

After heated discussions, Ryan and the others ruled out the western border. After all, the only land that can be developed in the western border is grasslands and mountains, which are of low value and difficult to defend.

In addition, the lifeblood of food must not be in the hands of others.

After many comparisons and careful consideration of the three territories in the southern border, Ryan finally decided to choose the Karna Territory located in the southern Green Province/Linton County.

Judging from the map, this territory is close to the Warcraft Mountains and Warcraft Forest, far away from the orc territory, and faces less pressure when the orcs plunder in winter.

Moreover, the number of people in the territory is considerable, the area is also very large, the forest resources are rich, and there is an outlet not far from the territory. If the territory expands later, it can be included in the bag.

It's just that the biggest shortcoming of this place is the lack of mineral resources, because this territory has been operated and developed by several lords, except for a coal mine, the mineral resources on the surface have been exhausted.

Even if there are some omissions, there are definitely not many, and mining is extremely difficult.

If you want mineral resources, you can only develop to the Warcraft Mountains, but the difficulty can be imagined, it must be huge.

It’s just that if you give up, you will get something. It’s impossible for one person to take all the benefits. At least you don’t have to worry about food. In this world, having food is better than anything else.

"I'll choose Karna, Your Excellency the Viscount." Ryan said solemnly.

"Your Excellency the Baron has a unique vision. This is indeed a good territory. If so, then there is only one last thing left, to register the family emblem."

Viscount Ambushi was also full of praise for his choice, and then asked Ryan for the family emblem, which was also a very important process.

At the time of canonization, the king will also hand over the banner with the family emblem to Ryan, and officially include the emblem into the aristocratic coat of arms.

Moreover, as the owner of the Pioneer Sword, he can also have a seat in the noble council. Although it is useless, he can obtain some internal resources.

Ryan thought about it, and finally decided to redesign an emblem with a blue base, white stripes as the frame, and a crossed bow and sword pattern, but a sharp eagle eye was drawn between the tops of the two patterns.

"Hmm~ The coat of arms is very suitable for your family's temperament. If this is the case, I will go back and report the results to His Majesty, Baron Canna."
