Chapter 867

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?"

In the past year or so, the whole Ryan kingdom was the first place to spread the magic array. Therefore, although the traffic situation in Ryan Kingdom has not changed a lot, in some emergencies, the military newspaper can be said to deliver directly. Therefore, if the Marquis de Flores wants to come to the palace, it is natural that he does not need to go on a journey of several months as in the past. However, generally, even if the Marquis de Flores wants to come to see the king, he will at least give a day or two notice in advance, rather than directly enter Engels's study without notice.

"The border blockade of the void principality has been lifted." Said the Marquis Flores in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Engels brightened his eyes and said, "do you know what has happened in the past six months?"

Marquis Flores nodded and then said, "it's really related to the previous plot against the void duchy, but it's certain that it's not a coup within the void duchy, but an invasion from the outside In this war, the rumor that William died in the war has been confirmed. This is false news. He is just wounded and resting. However, the real dead person is the commander of steel wings, a void barbarian named anno. "

The northern barbarians have now officially split into two ethnic groups.

One is the northern barbarians who can only be found in the north of the miracle mainland, and the other is the northern barbarians who settled in the void principality. The former is still called the northern barbarian, and is still a well-known fool in the miracle continent; However, the latter have been given a new racial name, called "void barbarians". They have better toughness and wisdom than ordinary northern barbarians, especially in terms of combat effectiveness.

"A commander of an elite Legion died?" Ingers nodded slightly to show understanding. "If that's the case, you shouldn't come to me in person."

Hearing what Engels said, marquis Flores smiled helplessly: "if it's just like this, of course I won't bother your majesty like this. In fact..." speaking of this, marquis Flores has handed the letter in his hand to Engels, his majesty of Ryan Kingdom, and then said in a helpless tone: "over the Principality of the void, A formal notice letter was issued to prepare for the crusade against the Marquis de Lohan, because it is said that the Marquis led the military action of invading the void duchy this time. "

Hearing the words of marquis Flores, ingers's face suddenly changed. Then he opened the letter handed by Marquis Flores, put on his glasses again and scanned it quickly. His face gradually became dignified with his reading, so that by the end of the last letter, Angus's face had become unusually gloomy.

The space in the study became stagnant.

After a moment of silence, ingers said in a deep voice, "what do you think?"

"After receiving the notification letter from the Principality of void, I have spent a month investigating the Marquis, but..."

"But?" Angus raised his eyebrows.

"He can't harm the strength of the void principality. The Lord's own strength is only the upper silver, and the strongest under his command is only the lower gold. The military strength is not bad, but it is also relative to other nobles." Marquis Flores said in a deep voice, "in any case, the Marquis absolutely does not have the courage and strength to go to the trouble of the empty principality But in fact, he not only did it, but also succeeded. It is said that he almost let William die. "

"You mean..." Angus's pupils suddenly shrunk.

"Yes, there must be other conspiracies behind this, or... Participants." Said the Marquis Flores in a deep voice.

"But listen to your meaning, it seems that you can't find out at all."

"Very ashamed." The Marquis of Flores lowered his head in shame and said with a decadent face, "I have exhausted all my resources to investigate in the past month, but I still can't find any clues. All the evidence shows that the Marquis did it alone and has nothing to do with anyone else. "

Angus's look became particularly dignified.

Seeing Engels' face, marquis Flores dared not speak at will at this time. He knew very well that his duty was not only to supervise tonis fortress, but also to collect all the intelligence of the whole Ryan kingdom. Therefore, according to reason, if the Marquis de Rohan had any action, he should know it at the first time. But in fact, he didn't know the real reason for the blockade of the territory by the Principality of void until he received a notice from the Principality of void a month ago.

Anyway, all this is his dereliction of duty.

But what really made him angry was that after receiving the notice from the void duchy a month ago, he devoted all his spare resources to the investigation of the Marquis de Lohan, but the result was still nothing. It can even be said that if it was not the notice sent by the Principality of void that they had found the real enemy, from beginning to end, the head of the secret intelligence department of Ryan kingdom was afraid that he didn't even know who was the initiator of the conspiracy against the Principality of void.

This was a great humiliation for the Marquis of Flores.

"How did Sean know about this Marquis de Rohan?" Angus asked.

"Originally, they didn't know who initiated the conspiracy, but after William was attacked, the Principality of void blocked the border for the first time. Then they found that several celebrities tried to break through the blockade and leave. At that time, the strongmen of the Principality of void immediately took them down, Later, evidence of their connection with the mysterious army was found in the temporary residence of these people. " Marquis Flores understood these known information very thoroughly and reported all the clues and evidence in a few words. "Then he tortured them, but these people should be dead and didn't speak until they died. However, after that, the Principality of void conducted a large-scale investigation throughout the principality, and soon found several suspicious characters who colluded with these dead men, and found correspondence with the Marquis de Rohan in their residence. "

Ingers nodded, then took off his glasses again and exhaled heavily: "since Archduke Sean wants us Ryan royal family not to intervene in this matter, let's treat it as if we don't know anything Anyway, since the Marquis de Rohan dares to make these plots, he should also be prepared for revenge after being discovered. However, you should pay close attention to the every move of Marquis de Lohan. I want to know who is involved in this conspiracy. "

"I see." Marquis Flores nodded, then turned and left the study.

Just as Marquis Flores was about to leave the study, Engels suddenly stopped him: "yes Get ready to implement the bad blood plan. "

When he heard the name of the "bad blood plan", marquis Flores's body trembled. He turned his head and looked at Engels with an unbelievable face, but he saw that Engels had made up his mind. In this regard, Flores first sighed heavily, then nodded and made a courtesy towards Angus: "as you ordered, your majesty."

Looking at his confidant, Engels finally showed a smile on his face, and then signaled that he could step down.

This time, the Marquis of Flores slowly retreated out of the study in a bowed position, and then closed the door.

When he closed the door and straightened up again, there was a trace of sadness on his face.

……

meanwhile.

Armaments, food and grass were all prepared for a whole month, and the empty principality finally woke up like a beast that had been sleeping for a long time.

As a pioneer army, the lion of thunder directly crossed the borders of the void principality and stepped into the territory of the neighboring Earl of Teresa.
