From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 37 The Real Noble

As he got closer, the figure shrouded in light walked up to Ryan who was kneeling on one knee, and he put the broad sword on Ryan's shoulder.

I only heard a majestic voice saying: "Lian Ray Black, in the name of King Tistan, I canonize you as a baron, give you the Sword of the Pioneer, entrust the southern border of Karna, and open up a new territory for the kingdom."

"I, Ryan Ray Black, swear allegiance to you. I will become the barrier of the kingdom, guard the border, and hunt the people. I will become the blade of the kingdom, and expand the territory...

From generation to generation, the Black family will remain determined! "

Although Ryan has rehearsed this passage countless times in his mind, it has a strange sense of responsibility and mission when he read it on such an occasion.

Constantine II lightly patted him on the shoulder three times with the blade of the sword, which represented the completion of the canonization.

Lane stood up after returning the salute respectfully, and the king had already moved to the next man and started to do the same.

At this moment, he is radiant and attracting thousands of attention.

And Ryan was just his foil, his eyes swept across the crowd, and finally locked on Kailinman and others who came to watch the ceremony.

Allen and Drey showed envy and admiration, Kailinman had a smile on his face, and tears were already shining in the sun...

In their eyes, Ryan is the focus and center at this moment.

Ryan squinted his eyes, and engraved that figure deeply in his mind. One day, he will no longer be a dispensable little transparent, who can only serve as a foil for others!
A pretty court lady stepped forward and handed the tray in front of Ryan.

He fixed his eyes and saw that at the bottom of the tray was a neatly stacked banner, on which was a piece of animal skin paper and a gorgeously decorated one-handed sword.

Reaching out to take the tray, a court lady came forward to guide Ryan to leave the stage, and the promotion ceremony was about to take place...

Sitting in the carriage going back, Ryan looked at the animal skin paper in his hand with a look of joy, which recorded in detail the privileges and obligations Ryan enjoyed as a pioneer.

It says that Ryan has the right to freely declare war to the outside world. To put it simply and crudely, he wants to fight anyone he wants, even the king cannot interfere.
This point is actually nothing special. After all, the surrounding circle is full of enemies. You can’t go wrong if you close your eyes and fight. Other nobles have this right, but their fiefs have been fixed, and they are all surrounded by their own people. They want to open up There must also be a direction.

What attracts Ryan more is that he only needs to pay half of his title's tax/tax, because according to the laws of the Kingdom of Tistan, every nobleman in the kingdom has to pay a certain amount of food or finances every year according to his title to support the border army.

Although there is not much money, it is a huge amount accumulated over the years, and the savings of only half of the payment is also a considerable amount of property.

Then there is the right to enlist, which Ryan has already used in advance, and then you can get a free construction aid.

The specific amount was not written, but this aid includes craftsmen, serfs, money, food, weapons and equipment, etc., which Ryan is looking forward to.

These are the attractive privileges, and the rest will not be enumerated.

But the task is much simpler, just two points: [-]. Don't abandon the ground and run away.[-]. You need to accept the Kingdom Call.

The obligation is very simple, and the degree of freedom is also very high. This is no different from a country within a country, except that he cannot be called a king and usurped openly, and his rights are no different from that of a king in terms of fiefdom.

Leaning on the cushion behind him, he breathed a sigh of relief. From now on, he is a real nobleman, and he can live a wicked noble life in his own territory.

Calculating the time, it is already November. According to the information we have learned, the orcs in the Urgan Grassland will start looting soon.

Although the grassland where the orcs live is vast, it is extremely desolate and barren, and they cannot grow any crops. They can only live on livestock.

However, the extremely cold winter on the grassland will kill most of the plants, and then starve to death many livestock. The orcs who lack food will start to plunder wildly after they have no food.

Thinking of this, he took out the map of the territory obtained from Viscount Ambushi. From the map, the Kanna Territory is narrow in the north and south, but long in the east and west.

The eastern part near Chelter Peak is the invasion point of orcs. Every winter, some orcs will enter Karna to plunder.

The current Kanarling is at a time when the dragons have no leader. If the orc invasion cannot be stopped, the consequences will be very serious.

Judging from the markings on the map, Kanaland has a small city, several small towns and a dozen villages, with a total population of nearly 2 people.

This is the most precious wealth in the territory. If they are ravaged by those brutal orcs, their ending can be imagined.

After all, the human race is just a sheep with two legs in their eyes.

"We can't delay. If we go late, it will be too late." A trace of worry flashed in Ryan's eyes, and he could accept nothing else. If the population is lost, then how can he live a luxurious aristocratic life?
After returning to the hotel, Ryan told Kailinman his concerns, and then said: "Mother, the meeting time agreed with my subordinates is three days later, and I plan to go directly to the south after meeting them."

"However, the sale of the general land you mentioned has not yet been negotiated..." Kailinman hesitated.

"I can't wait that long. I will take Allen and the others to take a step ahead. After you and Susan have dealt with the follow-up and the assistance promised by the king, wait for my news in the spring of next year to join us."

If these things are dealt with, there may be nothing left for Ryan.

Kailinman was a little hesitant to speak, but she was not a stupid person, she could hear the priorities of the matter, and she didn't say anything after all.

In the early morning of the next day, Ryan and others set off to return and began to prepare for the southern border. The whole manor was busy up and down.

The housekeeper Deman bought horses everywhere, the head maid Anna led the maids to prepare dry food for the troops, and Ryan worked out the fastest route overnight.

If they travel lightly and use horses instead, they will be able to travel thousands of miles to Kanaling in about ten days!
"I hope you can persevere." Ryan sighed softly, after all, there are too many time variables in more than ten days.

A few days passed in a hurry, and the soldiers who had made an appointment with Ryan rushed to meet Ryan one after another. To Ryan's relief, even the ten disabled veterans did not break their appointment and arrived at Black Manor on time.

When they stood in front of Ryan, he suddenly felt confident and powerful, even if he couldn't make firearms, with such an army, what else would he be afraid of.

When he knew that the firearms project had been shelved, Ryan did have a brief moment of confusion, but now, he has a new answer!

"Soldiers!" Ryan raised his arms and shouted.

"exist!"
