Chapter 867 (1/2)
Although the Duchy of void is only the Duchy specification, its actual comprehensive strength is no weaker than that of Ryan kingdom.
In terms of the strong, not counting Sean's void duchy and Garrod duchy, there are only eight strong saints in Ryan, seven of them are the lower sanctuary and one is the town power of the middle sanctuary. However, in the Principality of void, the next most powerful people in the holy land are vinia pofeng, shefanio, Rena, rotikabas, HARTING and Cecilia. If you count Marton Xuefeng sent by salooqi, there are as many as seven people, which is completely the same as the number of strong people in the Holy Land in Ryan kingdom. As for the middle Holy Land strongman, Noro Kassel's strength is much better than that of the middle Holy Land strongman in Ryan Kingdom - Wenger wilwacki.
Only in terms of the strong, the void principality has completely stood in the same position as the kingdom of Ryan.
It can even be said that it is stronger than the kingdom of Ryan.
Because apart from the town power of lane Kingdom, only two of the other seven lower holy land powers are really fully obedient to Lane royal family, and the remaining five are strong people from major noble families. If there is a conflict of interest with the royal family, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of choice these strong people will make.
But in the Principality of vanity, there is no such problem.
Rena, rotikabas, HARTING, shefanio and Nolo are all under Sean's command; Marton and vinia, the two highland elves, although they are only allies with Sean, basically will not resist Sean's orders; Cecilia, let alone, took Sean's words as a decree.
In terms of military strength, Ryan's total military strength is about 2 million - of course, this is the number including the noble private army in all Ryan's territories, which is just ten times that of the void principality. However, what Ryan can win is only quantity, but in terms of quality, it is comparable to the void principality, and it can even be said that the void principality is slightly better.
There is only one level 5 army and nine level 4 armies in the whole lane. One level 5 army and two level 4 armies are firmly controlled by the lane royal family. As for the other seven fourth level armies, they were controlled by five other Dukes of Ryan and two equally powerful aristocratic families.
The Duchy of void, not to mention the already famous Cecilia guards, the lion of thunder, the steel wings and the scarlet knights, is a fourth level army, that is, the first infantry regiment of commander Stalin, the second infantry regiment of commander nock and the mobile infantry regiment of commander Adolf, have basically reached the level of a fourth level army - what they lack now is the replacement of armaments, These are the six fourth level armies. If we take into account the dark wings and the wings of guilt, two armies with level 4 and level 5 respectively, which were secretly trained by William before, the Principality of void now has nine first-class armies.
If we count the two armies with the same level of level 4 and level 5 from the upcoming savage Legion and silver sideburns legion, the Principality of void has a total of 11 powerful armies, two of which are still level 5 armies. In this way, the military strength is naturally slightly stronger than that of King Ryan. If you add the advantages of famous generals, Reina's halo of war and the priests and magistrates from the life church and the ice and snow winter church, the military strength will completely win the kingdom of Ryan.
It can be said that even if the void principality wants to be directly upgraded to a kingdom, the kingdom of Ryan has nothing to do with this void principality.
Of course, upgrading does not mean that Sean wants to, at least he must have a way to check and balance Ryan - this is a means that all principalities must ensure if they want to be upgraded to a kingdom, and its purpose is naturally to prevent both countries from losing and then being benefited by others. Of course, the reason why Ryan dared to upgrade was not only that he swallowed dabion at one breath, but also that NKOS artificially blocked the road between the Millennium covenant and Ryan, and that the Millennium covenant was in civil strife.
At present, Sean doesn't have much malice towards Ryan Kingdom, so he won't consider upgrading the kingdom for the time being.
But in any case, the strength of the void principality is obvious to all. Although many nobles still don't know how strong the void principality is, it seems that Sean was just granted Duke after the last accident. Soon after, he was directly granted grand duke. As soon as the compensation scheme allowing him to establish the country was put forward, everyone knew that today's void principality already had capital that didn't need to buy Ryan's Royal account.
Therefore, when the territory blocked by the Principality of void for more than half a year finally began to be lifted, all the caravans trapped in the Principality of void for more than half a year immediately left the Principality of void as if they were fleeing. At the same time, there are also various news about the empty principality - such as the large-scale mobilization of the army, the tragic looting of the pan continental chamber of Commerce, the recruitment of military materials, the operation of large-scale logistics, and so on.
With the exception of the massacre of the pan continental chamber of Commerce, all other news made it clear that the Principality of void was about to have a large-scale military operation.
All the nobles bordering the territory of the void duchy immediately panicked.
Because no matter how they inquired, they couldn't find out who the enemy of the void principality was this time, but they were sure that the void principality was not making a show.
For a moment, these barons, viscounts and earls were in danger of becoming the targets of the empty principality.
But this is no wonder, because although the void principality is nominally a subsidiary of the kingdom of Ryan, and their lords can be regarded as ”their own people”. But in fact, the real situation is that they are not people in the same system at all, just like the factions in Ryan's military department. They are all their own people on the surface, but once the interests of some of their own factions are involved, they will rush and compete with each other.
Therefore, without a clear excuse, these lords and Sean are naturally their own people, but if Sean finds an excuse, it's not a problem even if Sean wants to destroy them all. Of course, due to the ancient aristocratic law, Sean could not directly occupy their territory, but it was also allowed in the rules to support another puppet family.
……
At this time, in the palace of King Ryan's capital, marquis Flores was carrying a letter into the study of King Ryan Engels.
The diligent King Ryan was not a king who only wanted pleasure.
On the contrary, he was a really wise king.
In his hands, Ryan not only restored the size of the Kingdom, but also completely eliminated the long-standing enemy, the kingdom of dabion. It can be said that Angus Ryan's achievements are no less than those of the founder of Ryan's kingdom. Even from a certain point of view, it is far more than his ancestor, ledesian Ryan, because although the kingdom of Ryan in those days was also a kingdom, it was only reluctantly linked to the last kingdom of the three water standards, far less stable in the seat of the second-class Kingdom than it is now.
Since ancient times, it is easy to start a business but difficult to keep it.
However, Engels not only succeeded in his career, but also helped Ryan to a higher level and create a better platform and foundation for his future generations. Of course, these also have a price. That is, in just two or three years, Engels seemed to be more than ten years old. However, there is no way. After all, after annexing the kingdom of dabion, there are too many things that Angus needs to deal with personally. Only the balance of strength within the Kingdom and the readiness of neighboring countries almost exhaust all of Angus's energy.
Especially since ingers let Sean and Athena set up the Principality of void and the Principality of Garrod respectively, many nobles in China have openly obeyed the royal family and secretly violated the royal family. Although Engels was very angry about this situation, there was no good way to solve these problems immediately for a while and a half. After all, he, King Ryan, prevented these nobles from gaining more interests.
You know, after annexing the kingdom of dabion, many new interests have emerged.
But at that time, in order to digest the national strength and resources of dabion as quickly as possible, Angus chose to accept a large number of dabion nobles. In this way, more than half of the interests were still in the hands of dabion nobles. As for the remaining half of the benefits, Engels gave two-thirds of them to Sean, Athena and the nobles who participated in the war against dabion.
In this way, the royal family must intercept some of the remaining one-third of the interests.
So there are almost no real benefits to Ryan's nobles. In particular, after Sean occupied the gorge Rift Valley, he blocked the access to the wilderness and cracked down on all the slave trade. In this way, these nobles were naturally more angry, and naturally hated the Ryan royal family who enfevered Sean as the Duke of nothingness.
However, these nobles did not have the courage to rebel against the Ryan royal family - at least, after not having enough allies and powerful allies, no nobles dared to rebel. This is also the main reason why the Ryan royal family belittled and cut the people after discovering the murder of Sean by the sene nobles. These nobles did not resist, but their mentality was certainly not much better.
At this time, the king of Ryan, Angus Ryan, who got up earlier than the chicken, ate less than the pig, worked more than the donkey and slept later than the dog every day, looked a little chilly when he saw the Marquis of Flores walking into his study. He immediately realized that there must be a serious problem, otherwise his confidant would not appear in the palace so suddenly.
Ingers slowly took off his small and exquisite glasses, put them on a document he was just reviewing, pinched the center of his eyebrows, looked at the Marquis of Flores and said, ”what's the matter?”
