Chapter 639 (1/2)
After hearing this news, almost all the noble factions in sene fell into the dull degree of mouth and mouth. Although many of the old dabion nobles who have been divided into the northern noble factions are also surprised or even stunned, their real surprise lies in the noble status of the ”one vote seat” obtained by Sean, because now all the northern nobles know that only 12 people can own this seat.
Sean Connery was already one of the twelve.
However, different from the representative status of this ”one vote seat” valued by the northern aristocrats, all the northern aristocrats pay more attention to the symbolic significance of Sean's canonization.
Sean Connery is the first Duke officially canonized and recognized by Ryan kingdom!
Moreover, the noble title he obtained is not only a virtual tenure, but a hereditary Duke with the most value and power status, which is very different from the ”Marquis” as we all know!
Tenure is just an honor in name. In fact, it has no great value and status at all, because all this will end with the death of the canonizer. Of course, if you have to say something valuable, it is probably that you can get a fairly good salary from the royal family every month.
However, the symbolic meaning of hereditary titles is completely different.
Not to mention that this title can be passed on to future generations forever, it is only a title that can be reported to the royal family to canonize its followers, which is enough to make many lifelong aristocrats feel incomparably envious. Of course, if it's just a baron or viscount, then the so-called knighthood for followers is a better concept than nothing. However, if it rises to count, marquis and even Duke, then the meaning is completely different.
Especially the gap between the Marquis and the Duke.
In lane, the Marquis can only be canonized by five Viscount at most, and even the count is not allowed to be canonized by the marquis.
But the Duke is completely different.
The nobility with this Duke title can not only canonize the count, but also have the canonization qualification of two hereditary Marquis titles and one lifelong marquis. However, the territory owned by the nobility canonized by the Duke must naturally be borne by the Duke. The kingdom will only recognize the legitimacy of the Marquis and will not reward the territory as a fief. But even so, this is still a manifestation of supreme power.
And more shocking than that.
The Ryan royal family not only canonized Sean as Duke, but also announced the recognition of the territorial division submitted by Sean Connery, and officially changed its name to confirm it as the void collar. This means that a total of seven old territories, including panda collar, yadby collar, bobis collar, chilav collar, Dayi collar, soan collar and tinchein collar, will all belong to Sean Connery's name and officially become his fief - void collar.
To a wide extent, these seven territories have far exceeded the size of a normal duchy. Although under normal circumstances, the scope of territory owned by a local aristocrat with territory is usually directly proportional to his ability, under normal circumstances, this hidden rule approach will not be so blatant. Generally, even if he occupies a larger territory, he will use the method of nominal name instead of being really incorporated into his own territory.
You know, the void collar Sean now has is actually composed of a count collar, three sub barons collar and three barons collar. Among them, the Earl of tinchein, the Viscount of Burgess, the Viscount of yedby and the Baron of panda are all unconventional barons. The scale of these four territories alone has exceeded that of one Duke. Therefore, the territory area owned by Sean now can be basically as large as that of the two Duke.
Now, in the whole Ryan Kingdom, Sean has the third largest territory after the Ryan royal family and Athena g. Evans.
Generally speaking, such a vast territory requires a great amount of military power. Therefore, generally, if there is no strong enough strength, no Lord will take such a large area of territory, which is another advantage of the nominal territory - nominally, this territory belongs to another Lord. Therefore, if someone makes an idea about this territory, the nominal Lord of this territory must fight back for face.
Therefore, if any nobleman is so extravagant, other noblemen like jackals will teach each other how to be a man every minute. At least, the coercion in force is enough to force the other party to submit. After all, the nobles don't mind uniting as long as the interests are enough.
However, when the nobles heard that Sean had such a vast territory, no one tried to coerce Sean by force.
The reason is simple.
In terms of war attitude, the incident at the Changqing suspension bridge this morning let them know that Sean is definitely a man who will repay his vengeance, and even children will not let go, which shows that the other party doesn't care about the war of blood revenge at all. Therefore, if you want to force Sean to submit by force, you must make an endless war with Sean.
Once entering a state of war, there are four key factors determining the outcome of the war.
The first is high-end force.
After the tragic situation of the dovigo family, it is known that Sean has a real strong man who can face off against the holy land level. Basically, except for those big families with deep enough heritage and also dominated by the strong in the holy land, few families can compete with Sean in terms of high-end force.
Since the high-end force can not compete, these nobles can only think about whether they can suppress Sean from other aspects.
The second key factor that depends on the outcome of the war is military strength.
Just the moment the idea came out of the minds of the nobles, they directly put it out.
I'm kidding. Can anyone compare with Sean when it comes to military power?
In the war against dabion, Sean's three legions of thunder lion, steel wing and Cecilia guards have made a brilliant reputation. Not only many nobles of dabion know the horror of these three legions, but even Ryan nobles know. In particular, the lion of thunder and the iron wing, these two legions have a brilliant record of defeating the mountain lion Legion and the second cavalry regiment of dabion on the frontal battlefield; Cecilia's guards became famous because they directly received soldiers from the fourth regiment of dabion.
Although the war has just ended, Sean's Territorial Army must still be reorganized. If a war is launched, it may not be able to deal with it. But this is also the same for other nobles, especially those who participated in the northwest war zone. Their losses were so heavy that they could not be further increased. Compared with Sean, it was only heavy. When they were finished, it was estimated that Sean's army had been finished.
At this time, who dares to continue to compete with Sean for military strength?
The first and second factors can not suppress Sean. As the most critical and important third factor in determining the war situation, it is enough to silence more people.
