Lord of War

  After Xiao En took over, the Black Swan Castle has undergone five refurbishments. Although it cannot be said to be reconstruction, it has basically been overthrown and rebuilt in many places. However, the only thing that has not undergone any rectification is the underground structure of the Black Swan Castle.

  Here is the lair of Hina Worst and her Crypt Spider Queen—the soldiers who are in charge of guarding the Black Swan Castle, call this place an ice nest.

Of course, Hina will definitely not sleep in this kind of place. She has a room of her own in the Black Swan Castle, and she has been systematically trained by Rena before. After receiving the power feedback from the Crypt Spider Queen, she has a room of her own. Hina's personal strength has also been steadily improving. Although she is only fourteen years old, she already has the strength of the lower bronze, which is considered a category of genius in some respects.

Moreover, this Crypt Cold Spider Queen has also begun to lay eggs in the ground. Since Hina signed a contract with the Crypt Cold Spider Queen, it has been more than a year now, just in time for the first time of the Crypt Cold Spider Queen. Egg stage.

  The so-called first egg stage is the first egg laying by the Crypt Cold Spider Queen. The Crypt Cold Spiders hatched from these [顶][点] eggs have stronger combat effectiveness than the Crypt Cold Spiders born later. Their duties are similar to the existence of the Queen’s Guard, so they are looking for food later. In terms of things like that, these Crypt Cold Spider Guards will not take action, they will only attack enemies that threaten the Crypt Cold Spider Queen.

  Basically, every crypt spider guard possesses the strength of level six monsters, that is, the combat power of the lower level gold.

  Now. Most people no longer approach the "Ice Nest" at will, because even if Hina and the Crypt Spider Queen are restrained and suppressed, there is no guarantee that no one will perform some weird behaviors. And once the Crypt Cold Spider Guard is judged to be threatening. Then they will attack immediately, with the power of the sixth-level beast, even if Xina and the Crypt Cold Spider Queen want to stop it, it is definitely too late.

  So, William and Neal both issued clear orders to the people in the Black Swan Castle, prohibiting anyone from going to the ice nest.

  Over time, newcomers to the Black Swan Castle. I didn't know that there was a special place called the Ice Nest under this old castle.

  Like the Marquis of Floris, even if his personal strength is very strong, he still hasn't found what is hidden under the ancient castle. In his eyes. There is no difficulty in attacking the Black Swan Castle at all. Even if he is only given a small force of only about a hundred people, he also has several different tactics to take down the castle in one day, of course, the premise is the castle guard. The strength is also around a hundred people.

  Think of this. Sitting in the conference room of the Black Swan Castle, the Marquis of Flores gave a wry smile: "Occupational disease."

   A knock on the door sounded.

   interrupted the divergent thinking of the Marquis of Floris.

  I opened the door and entered. It was Sean, and there was no one else behind him.

   "My Lord Duke." After seeing Sean enter the door, the Marquis of Flores hurriedly got up and said.

"Master Flores, you are welcome, we are all so familiar." Sean smiled, speeded up his pace and walked to the side of the conference table. He did not choose to sit opposite the Marquis of Flores, but next to him. Seated at the nearest location. To some extent, this can indeed show Sean's attitude.

  At this moment. He still doesn't want to break with the Kingdom of Lane.

"Regarding your encounter with the Finistering clan this time, His Majesty the King is very worried, so I am here to express condolences to you." The Marquis of Flores thought that Sean was so young, and he would definitely meet him at this time. He was furious with what happened to him, and he even prepared several sets of rhetoric for this, but when he saw Sean behave so calmly, the heart of the Marquis of Flores sank.

  He has dealt with Sean more than once, so he has a basic grasp of Sean's character. If Sean is angry, then it can at least show that he did not take this matter to heart, and there are at least many ways to appease Sean. But once Sean showed a calm attitude, it proved that this matter had been completely included in his priority, which proved that it was obviously impossible to smooth out this matter simply.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for me." Shaun replied politely, "Master Flores, regarding the things we mentioned in the King Capital before, I have prepared five thousand barbarians, this time you leave. You can take it away at the time. I will arrange the relevant guards to accompany you and take care of your safety on the road."

  Hearing Sean say this, the Marquis of Flores finally sighed helplessly.

After a moment of silence, the marquis said: "Your Excellency Shaun, I am really sorry for the previous situation, but His Majesty the King did not expect that the Fenlisting family would do such a frantic thing. Wait until we know. In the event of the situation, it has been stopped as quickly as possible.... At present, all the personnel involved have been arrested as long as they have real evidence."

Hearing what Floris said, Sean took a deep look at each other, and then sighed: "I also know the difficulty of His Majesty the King. In fact, I did not blame His Majesty the King or the Kingdom of Ryan. When I learned about the actions of His Majesty the King, I did breathe a sigh of relief. Regardless of the considerations, this is indeed something I must be grateful for. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will not be able to leave the control of the Fenlisting family. The clan has taken it."

  Shaun himself also guessed afterwards that a man who has been in perfect control of his territory for hundreds of years, and even the surrounding territory has been infiltrated and controlled, he does not think that he can really break through the siege so easily. Even if there is all the Void Realm dispatched and tacit cooperation, this is destined to be a tragic and **** road. If there is no infiltration and assistance from a larger force behind it, Sean would not believe it anyway.

  So, the only explanation is that the Marquis of Floris got a nod from King Ryan, so he spared no effort to help.

   "Your Majesty's decision has been made." The Marquis of Floris said softly, and then took out a clerical document from his arms. Handed it to Sean, "The Finlisting family will be reduced to the title and retain the title of hereditary viscount. The vassal will be moved to the north. The Dovigo family will be deprived of the title of nobility, become a commoner, and banned. The next three generations of descendants received the title. As for the Cebarox family, the title remains unchanged, but the title will be reduced to a hereditary earl."

  For a noble family, lowering the title is not a terrible punishment, anyway, as long as there is war. Then there will always be a chance to move forward. But once you are forced to ask for a change in the affiliation, then this punishment can be very serious-of course, it may also be due to the loss of the war in a private war. And need to pay for the Fengyi that he has worked so hard for many years.

  The Dovigo family was revoked the title of nobility and demoted to civilians. This was indeed a great punishment, more serious than the Fenlistine family was forced to change the fiefdom. There are even three generations of descendants who cannot obtain the title. This is tantamount to announcing that the Dovigo family will never even think about mixing in the Kingdom of Lane. Basically, it is no different from the exile of the Dovigo family, but doing so is only slightly better in name.

As for why the Ceballox family’s punishment is so light, Sean is also understandable. After all, Silent Mountain still has a scale of forty thousand people. With such a solid team, it takes some time to train again. A silent mountain range came, of course, the title of "Ryan's Strongest Heavy Infantry Corps" would definitely not be able to keep. And when he thought of this, Sean was a little envious of these nobles with a solid foundation.

   "I see." Sean nodded slightly. Expressing acceptance of this result, in fact, the punishment for these hostile families is severe. It was already in Sean’s expectation, but before he discussed with Hela and others, he probably needed to protest by himself, but he didn’t expect that he hadn’t said anything yet, who claimed to be second only to Ryan in history. The wise king of the first King Ryan made such a move.

  In terms of comforting people's hearts, it is truly unmatched.

  But the next moment, Sean’s eyes fell on the document pushed by the Marquis of Floris.

  "This is another gift for you." Floris emphasized the word "you" in addressing Sean, which made Sean's face a bit of surprise.

  For a long time, the communication between Sean and Floris has been polite to each other, but they have never been polite to this level. So Xiao En, with some doubts, tore open the flame paint on the file bag and took out a few pieces of paper inside.

  This is a duplicate contract document, or a standard magic contract, that is to say, it is an official document approved by the contract god. Once you sign this document, it means that both parties will act in accordance with this contract document in the future.

  But what really stunned Sean was the words printed on the front of the contract document.

  Void Principality Project.

  "This is..." Xiao En looked down and found that on the contract document, the King of Ryan Ingus Ryan had already signed his name.

  "This is another compensation from His Majesty the King." Marquis Floris smiled, "Congratulations to Your Excellency Shaun, I will call you Grand Duke Void from now on."

"Grand Duke Void..." Xiao En looked at the contract document in his hand with a bit of astonishment. He did not expect that King Ryan would give him such a big gift, which is equivalent to saying that he completely approved Xiao En. All autonomous actions on the territory include the construction and scale of the army, currency issuance, tax adjustments, trade import and export adjustments, and various laws that can be completely determined by oneself.

As long as Sean signs a name on this contract, then besides paying a certain amount of sacrifice to the Kingdom of Lane every year, he can do whatever he wants, even if he launches military operations against the Nobles of Lane. , And from then on, it has not been commanded and ordered by the Kingdom of Lion at all!

  Void Duchy.

  This development seems to be much faster than Sean expected. (To be continued...)

  Ps: Three shifts, ask for a monthly pass. I won’t say any more, I hope you will join in.
