Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Chapter 295 The Principality of Idar (two in one! Please subscribe!)

Bruno is very happy,

But the second prince Reitz was very depressed.

Because he was forced to "voluntarily" spend money to buy land.

Returning the western part of the Valens Plains to the Norman Empire was a difficult decision that Odin monarch Alio O'Sullivan had to make after weighing it for a long time.

As can be seen from the map,

If he did not return this land to the Norman Empire, this vast plain would be sandwiched between the second prince Rez and Idar.

In fact, Alio O'Sullivan has never cared much about the army of the second prince Rez. After all, it is not a matter of a day or two for Odin's army to chase and beat up Norman soldiers. Everyone has long been accustomed to it. The Norman Empire The army never takes the initiative to attack.

But the problem is,

Having this bug-like existence next to Idar really made him feel restless.

When the land area of ​​Idar Territory is only the size of an earldom, you can rub Marshal Odin Portia Mariano on the ground. Then wait until Idar Territory completely controls most of the land in the eastern part of the empire. …

Oops!

Alio O'Sullivan just wants Idar to be as far away from him as possible.

The handing back of land, the purchase of grain, grass and weapons, and making certain concessions in the peace agreement are also based on such considerations.

Furthermore,

Be sure to pick the persimmons that are soft when pinched.

After signing the armistice agreement with Idarland, wouldn't it be nice to bully the Norman Empire, which is currently busy in the civil war?

As for the Idar Territory,

In fact, Bruno, Old Ford and others also hold similar views to the Odin people.

If one day the Idar Territory wants to expand, which one is better to beat, the Norman Empire in the west or the Kingdom of Basel in the south?

Why go to the Odin Empire, which has a vast territory, sparse population, and powerful soldiers to increase its presence?

then,

The two gangsters hit it off immediately, and the Treaty of Valens was born.

only……

This made the second prince Reitz complain incessantly.

The Odin people's envoys came to the second prince Rez's camp in the Sogn Plains a few days ago and expressed the Odin Empire's willingness to return part of its territory to its original owner.

It's good to return things, but the problem is... the Odin Empire charges money!

The western region of the Valens Plains,

One price,

Twenty-five thousand Norman gold coins!

To put it bluntly, this price can be said to be fair, but... the second prince Reitz can't afford so much money at the same time!

During the days when the Odin Empire was at war with the Idar Territory, Rez was not idle at all.

The messengers under the command of the second prince Reitz traveled to various aristocratic territories in the western, central and even southern parts of the empire, spreading money across the country throughout the Norman Empire, and gained the support of a large number of noble gentlemen.

At the same time, he also spent huge sums of money to build weapons, recruit soldiers, and tried his best to win this imperial civil war.

so……

The treasury of the second prince Reitz has been completely wiped out a long time ago. Even if a mouse sneaks in, it will eventually run out crying.

In this situation,

For the second prince Reitz,

Twenty-five thousand gold coins is really an extremely heavy burden.

but,

He still has to pay for it!

You don’t want the north to give back the land, and the south is going to fight at any time, and both the south and the north are offended at the same time. Do you still want to hang out on this continent?

so,

After convening a meeting with his subordinates overnight to collect money, the second prince Reitz finally managed to collect less than 5,000 gold coins, barely able to make a down payment.

As for the remaining money...

It was repaid in nine years, with the principal and interest totaling thirty-eight thousand Norman gold coins.

However, while raising money and making the down payment, the outcome of the war between the Odin Empire and the Idar Territory also reached the ears of the second prince Rez.

Then……

He was confused.

Because for the second prince Retz, Idar Territory is really an extremely unfamiliar name.

Where is this?

Is he really a vassal of the Norman Empire?

The Norman Empire actually has such an awesome vassal?

To be honest, there were not many nobles in the eastern part of the empire that Second Prince Retz had ever heard of.

After all, the desolation and hardship in the eastern part of the empire were well known. Before this, he was not in the mood to study how many small nobles were entrenched in the eastern part of the empire.

Anyway, no matter how many nobles there are, they will all bow down and call daddy when they see me.

But now...

As soon as he heard the name Idar, he felt extremely...awkward.

The land in the eastern part of the empire was ceded by himself on his own initiative, but the vassal in the eastern part of the empire, the Idar Territory, blew up the heads of the Odin people and took back nearly three-thirds of the eastern part of the empire from the Odin people. bis land.

at the same time,

Count Idar is a vassal of the Norman Empire, but not all of the land in the Idar territory is the land of the Norman Empire.

And according to rumors, this war was completely initiated by the Idar people. In addition, the Idar people even took over the Mann Fortress and the imperial soldiers guarding the fortress...

You say he is the hero but not entirely, you say he made mistakes but you dare not say it.

Because this guy just pressed the Odin man's dog head on the ground and rubbed it. Although Rez is still not sure about the strength of the Idar people, if the Idar army turns around to cause trouble for him, then Rez will also No more civil war.

Because the second prince Reitz, like the eldest prince Pitzman, had proclaimed himself the sole emperor of the Norman Empire half a year ago.

so,

A loyal minister like Idar Ling who has done great service in protecting the country must be well rewarded!

Even if you are dissatisfied with the Idar territory secretly reorganizing the imperial soldiers directly belonging to the royal family, you have to keep such thoughts in your heart, after all...

At this time, the civil war has not yet started. A character like Idarland who can beat up the Odin Empire must be won over!

Otherwise, you will definitely be overtaken by that bitch, the eldest prince Pitzman!

Rez Alexander thought secretly.

After asking his staff and advisors to study for a long time, Rez Alexander finally made a decision.

"Plan a reward for Count Idar..." Rez paused and glanced at the clerk beside him.

The man understood immediately and whispered: "Bruno Stuart, Stuart family."

"...Ahem" Rez Alexander coughed a few times and continued: "...Bruno Stuart, Count of Idar, defeated the invasion of Odin's army, maintained the majesty of the empire, and promoted him to the title of Duke Idar, the territory under his jurisdiction is all the territory of the Principality of Idar, and the specific rewards will be decided by you."

"The villain understands!"

This was the first time since the founding of the Norman Empire that an earl was directly promoted to a duke.

But in the urgent need to win over the Idar Territory, Reitz couldn't care so much. Anyway, it was impossible to get the eastern territory of the empire back from the hands of the Stuart family in a short time. It was better to regard it as a favor. Giving it away makes you appear to be open-minded and tolerant.

and,

Once Bruno accepts the reward from the second prince Retz, it means recognizing that the second prince Retz is the emperor of the Norman Empire. Bruno naturally regards the second prince Retz as a supporter and stands on the side of the eldest prince. The opposite of Ziman can be said to kill multiple birds with one stone!

"So, everyone who is doing this, let's talk about the current situation."

After finalizing the reward for Bruno Stuart, Count of Idar, Rez Alexander finally gave the order.

Although Reitz won the support of many nobles by spreading money across the country, he clearly knew that the nobles of the Norman Empire were not like hawks. Although they promised well verbally, they Most of them are deadbeats on both sides.

He gave away gold coins and property just to let them cheer for him and not cause trouble for him.

What you really have to rely on is yourself!

"Although the eldest prince Pitzman has a violent temper, he still sits in the imperial capital of St. Lawrence and claims to be the orthodox royal family of the empire. According to the information currently known, his eagle dogs and lackeys have gathered a team of more than 100,000 for him. An army of men." Teodoro Lawton said solemnly.

The status of this military commander of the Norman Empire in the Norman Empire is almost the same as that of Portia Mariano in the Odin Empire.

"In this war, we may face three external variables, the noble group in the west of the empire, the Odin Empire in the north, and the Idar Territory in the east." Teodoro Lawton changed the subject and said:

"The Odin people have just signed an armistice agreement with us, and they should not break up so soon. Although the nobles in the west are powerful, they will not take any action at least in the early stages of the war. As for the guy who just appeared in the east, …”

"The death of Marshal Portia greatly reduced the morale of Odin's army. The Idar army could have taken advantage of the victory and pursued it, but they did not do so. Moreover, for so many years, the Idar territory has been extremely peaceful. In addition, Your Majesty, you have already It was decided to make him a Duke, and a large amount of territory needs to be digested and managed by the Stuart family, so... in a short period of time, this civil war should not involve any other third-party forces." Marshal Teodoro analyzed road.

"More than 100,000 people?"

When he heard that Pitzman had gathered hundreds of thousands of soldiers, Reitz couldn't help but snorted:

"There are also hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the imperial soldiers stationed in Sogn Plain are the most elite! And except for the Guards Corps of Saint Lawrence, the rest of the people in Pizman's hands are probably captured strong men. Nothing to fear!”

Marshal Teodoro nodded and said: "The spring plowing is about to begin, and the soldiers of the empire have been waiting for it. All I need is an order from your majesty, and I can march south with the entire army! Directly outside the city of St. Lawrence!"

"The teacher can naturally be trusted to lead the troops, but... this is a battle for the throne after all, and I want to lead the troops myself." Reitz's eyes were bright and firm.

"Since Your Majesty insists on doing this, then...I would like to be the deputy general!"

Marshal Teodoro knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice.

"General Boral and General Horn each led an army, crossed the Albona River from the east and west sides, and advanced towards the central plains. The main force was led by myself and Marshal Teodoro. General Rudolf was responsible for guarding the pine trees. En Plain, maintain stability in the rear." Rez Alexander looked solemn.

"clear!"

…

"To resell the land that originally belonged to the Norman Empire to the Norman Empire, the Odin people are taking off their pants and riding the merry-go-round, spinning around in circles, how shameless!" Bruno exclaimed.

"ha?"

Mundell, the valet on the side, looked confused when he heard this.

By the way...

What is a carousel?

Hanging garden.

The official canonization document sent by the second prince Reitz has been placed in Bruno's study.

"Sir... do you really want to accept this reward from the second prince Reitz?" Mondale asked doubtfully.

"Since it's a reward given to me, why should I refuse? Also, don't always call me Second Prince and Second Prince in the future. Since I've been given the title of Duke, let's call him His Majesty Reitz from now on."

"But once you accept this reward, it means that you are completely opposed to the eldest prince Pitzman and become the second prince... um, no, you have become a supporter of His Majesty Reitz. But now the Norman Civil War The ending has not yet been decided, and most of the nobles are just watching..."

On the sidelines, Mundell expressed his views.

"Are you a supporter of Rez..."

Bruno chuckled, and then said: "Indeed! I will probably give Rez all the support except help."

Hearing this, Mendel was immediately shocked.

The Earl is really a... man of great wisdom!

"And... even if Reitz loses, what can Pitzman do to me? Can he change the fact that the eastern part of the empire is controlled by the Stuart family?"

"No! Maybe the canonization document given to me by Pitzman is already on the way!" Bruno said to himself.

Although it has always been cautious, at this moment, the Idar Territory already has the capital to be based in the eastern part of the empire, and it is not afraid of any invading enemies.

Moreover, in Bruno's view, if the civil war in the Norman Empire wants to end, it is obviously still too early!

"I've met the Duke!"

Seeing that Bruno accepted the reward from the second prince Reitz without any burden, Mundell quickly changed his mind.

This is the Duke!

Hearing Mundell's name, Bruno suddenly felt refreshed.

In fact, after accepting the award, Bruno held a total of three titles, namely Count Idar, Marquis of Almis, and Duke of Exeter.

This is a cultural tradition belonging to the Norman Empire.

However, as his first title, Bruno still habitually called the land he ruled the Principality of Idar and himself the Duke of Idar.

Although it is somewhat inconsistent with the tradition of the Norman Empire, but...Bruno has the qualifications to reject this tradition!

(Well, mainly because I was always called Idar Idar, and I was afraid that readers would not be used to it after changing the title.)

Of course, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net This also expresses Bruno's attitude, that is, I can nominally support the rule of the Norman Empire royal family, but the royal family cannot point fingers at everything that happens in the eastern part of the empire!

Because if it is true that it is in line with tradition, Bruno will at least have a few vassals such as marquis and earl after becoming a duke, but... this is impossible!

Bureaucracy with the civil service system as its core is gradually replacing the original aristocracy.

Bruno has always hoped that in the future Idar Territory, the title of the nobles will gradually evolve into a virtual title that purely represents honor, rather than real power.

"Let the Idar Daily spread the news. The Earl of Idar will become the Principality of Idar!" Bruno ordered.

"Understood! Your Majesty the Duke!" Mundell said with a smile.

Hearing this,

Bruno felt refreshed;

Just two words,

Comfortable!

No more today.
