Lord of the Oasis Chapter 381: .Changes in the Principality of Lions
In a very short period of time, Kant has completely controlled Stone Pass.
And at this show-off banquet, the ambush from the East County Command was easily resolved, and the news that even the four great knights were captured, spread throughout the entire male lion in just half a month. Principality.
Become a laughing matter of the nobles after dinner.
This turn of events happened too quickly.
Let the nobles who were still sitting high on the stage have not reacted.
But when they reacted, they realized that the situation had been easily grasped by Kant, and in their original arrangement, a hole was easily torn open.
No one expected it, including the Countess Ai Jiasha of the Eastern County, whose power is comparable to that of the Grand Duke of Lions!
Like half a month ago.
The ugly performance at the end of the banquet was almost a joke.
When the aristocrats talked about Kant's rise, they were horrified and apprehensive, but their eyes were also a little more playful, as if they were watching an opera worthy of attention.
It is also related to Countess Agatha.
After all, she is Cameron's sister.
Kant's aunt.
All belong to the royal family.
Therefore, some top nobles will not give up any repressive speech.
Although it won't have any effect, it is just in these rumors that it disgusts the royal family, deepens the contradiction between Kant and Countess Agatha, and eventually causes misunderstandings between the two sides, and it is even better to meet each other.
This is a battle between the royal families.
It has nothing to do with ordinary nobles.
Look now.
In the Principality of Lions, the East Commandery was independent from the traditional aristocratic circle, and was vaguely rejected by the nobles from the Northern Commandery and the Southern Commandery, which was equivalent to a stranger from the same country.
Although there is still business communication, political communication has been interrupted for nearly ten years!
The economy is an unstoppable lifeblood.
But there is no political exchange, or even mutual greetings.
This shows how rigid the relationship between the two parties is, even if Countess Agatha is the sister of Cameron, the archduke of the lion, and even once the most advantageous heir to the archduke's position.
Perhaps it is because of this relationship that the relationship between the two parties is extremely poor.
As for Kant.
The sensitive baron.
All nobles are waiting in peace, watching and coveting his current rise.
Even some minor nobles have some expectations about the rise of Kant when they talk in private, and in their impressions, it is also a matter of course and should have risen.
From the second wife of Cameron, the princess from the Kingdom of Silver Plate.
Princess Sophia.
Only this princess, who has the support of the Silver Plate Kingdom behind her back, and who has left behind even if she dies, can support and support such a powerful force in such a short period of time.
Even behind Kant, whether there is a shadow of the Silver Plate Kingdom, we must observe carefully.
But they have now also faced up to Kant's rise.
This is a new force in the Northern Territory.
A royal upstart with a steady stream of wealth in the salt trade!
Behind the scenes, there is a legacy left by Princess Sophia from the Silver Plate Kingdom, a force that can make the entire lion principality vigilant, and an absolute force that can overturn any conspiracy!
After Princess Sophia's death, her power was quickly disintegrated by the local nobles.
Now that I think about it, it's probably just a cover up that it fell apart so quickly.
They are lurking.
Wait at the same time.
When Kant was finally exiled and appeared in the Naron Desert, these forces appeared and successfully rescued the bloodline of the princess they used to be loyal to in the muddy swamp.
And go to glory, so that the entire lion principality must face it.
A battle over the lion's authority.
Coming soon.
That's why the nobles feel playful.
They can accept the rise of Kant, because this is the bloodline of Cameron, the Grand Duke of the Lion, the second in line to the heir of the entire duchy.
If Kant's eldest brother dies, he will become the Grand Duke heir.
And in the lion principality, which established the country by force.
Something like that.
Actually not much in history!
Just like Cameron, the current male lion, he can take the throne because he has a very, very close relationship with Kant's biological mother, Princess Sophia from the Silver Plate Kingdom.
Although not explicitly documented.
But who of these nobles are the real fools can really not know.
Just pretending not to know.
At the beginning, the struggle for the throne of the Principality of the Lion was extremely fierce. Cameron, the Grand Duke of the Lion, just like Kant today, led the army to seize his brother's first-in-line heir by force, and silently supported him in the back. , The one who provided financial and military support was Princess Sofia.
Even in some people's historical writings, it is mentioned unintentionally that if it wasn't for the help of Princess Sophia, Archduke Cameron would definitely not be an archduke, and he might have died somewhere on the battlefield.
It is precisely because of Princess Sophia's help that the Grand Duke of the Lion Principality is Cameron's after all.
But that's exactly what happened.
Princess Sophia's help didn't come without a price.
The power of the Silver Plate Kingdom has begun to infiltrate the Lion Principality. It is estimated that it will not take long for the relationship between the two parties to reach an extremely close state, and even after a few years, it can become a United Kingdom.
This so-called alliance naturally means that the Principality of Lions joins the territory of the Silver Plate Kingdom as a vassal.
The nobles are still those nobles.
Only the authority of the top nobles and the Grand Duke of Lions will be impacted.
This is also why, in the end, Princess Sophia fell ill and died suddenly. The Principality of Lions also went to war with the Kingdom of Silver Plate. The **** fight on the banks of the Resniston River ten years ago eventually led to the current stalemate between the two sides. .
The Kingdom of Silver Plate does not dare to cross the River Rhysniston easily.
On the plains, the cavalry of the Principality of Lions is indeed powerful.
Even if the troops of the Principality of Lions can be defeated, the price of blood will be paid for the Kingdom of Silver Plate, and the benefits brought by conquering the Principality of Lions obviously cannot make up for this price.
This is also one of the reasons for the stalemate between the two sides.
The nobles don't care.
They do have allegiance.
But if the nobles above their heads are replaced, they can continue to choose allegiance.
The relationship between them is not very close. There are still struggles between these nobles. It would be great if they could use other forces to solve each other.
Even the royal family of the Lion Principality thinks so.
For example, the East County Territory.
Ten years ago, the East County Territory still had a castle and corresponding land on the south side of the Rhysniston River.
Because Cameron, the lion archduke, had just ascended to the throne, in order to stabilize the Kingdom of Silver Plate, he ceded the castle and land, but in fact the land was Countess Agatha, who is Cameron's mother. One of my sister's fiefs.
In the end, it also led to the official replacement of the Winter County Leader with the East County Leader.
It's like dividing the regime.
The current lion principality has long since fallen into some kind of internal friction.
This is the hidden danger left by Archduke Cameron when he succeeded to the throne, but it just happened to be delayed until now because of some tricks played by the Silver Plate Kingdom.
And still delaying.
It's not just the Countess Agatha of the East County Territory who has her own system,
It's almost the same as the Northern Territory!
You must know that the owner of Roger Castle in the Northern Territory, Viscount Wayne, if it wasn't for the desolation here and the lack of a major economic support, he would have to rely on the food of the Southern Territory to survive, and it is estimated that he would have split off by himself.
But even if it was temporarily forbearance, the Archduke Cameron, who had already noticed it, put Viscount Kevin in.
For example, Marsburg between the Lion Mountains and the Death Mountain.
The castle is like a nail, stuck between the plains where the two mountains meet.
Even if the time comes, Viscount Wayne wants to contact the Countess Agatha of the East County, and he has to bypass this nail, but if he bypasses it, it will take a lot of time, and the distance will also be detoured. Far.
Not only is it inconvenient, but it may also be directly inserted by the troops of the Southern Commander.
Directly cut off the connection with one knife and two sections!
Strategically, the plan of the Southern Commander has not gone wrong.
That's why, those nobles are still living their lives peacefully, and they have not caused a civil strife that could hurt both parties because of the problems left over by history and the deliberate provocation of the Yinpan Kingdom.
It's all deadlocked, and over time Cameron's wrists have grown stronger.
In the end all problems will be resolved.
But.
An error has occurred.
Narron Desert, which once seemed insignificant, has risen to new powers.
The youngest son of the exiled eldest duke, Baron Kant, walked out of this barren desert, officially stepped on the stage, successfully stood on the stage, and greeted everyone proudly.
It's like slapping the face, slapping the faces of those nobles who once planned but are now gloomy!
The banquet ended for nearly a month.
A steady stream of salt is being transported from Stone Pass through merchants to all castles and cities in the Principality of Lions.
Whether it's the Northern Territory, the Southern Territory, or the closed Eastern Territory, those nobles have obtained the white salt in their own way. The quantity is extremely large, and it is quite pure.
The highest quality, finest white salt!
Even in the Silver Plate Kingdom, traces of this salt have appeared.
As for the dwarf salt that was once purchased in the distant valley, the unsold market that was almost hit at this time has been on the verge of being eliminated in a short period of time, and will soon leave the market.
The salt sourced from the dwarves is prohibitively expensive and extremely dangerous.
There are many tribes of barbarians in the wilderness passing by.
Every caravan has an accident.
On the other hand, the caravans in the Naron Desert only need to enter the hard stone pass, and they can purchase a lot of salt. The price is extremely low, and it can be sold for several times to make a profit. It can be the passion of many nobles. .
The tax revenue of the entire Lion Principality has been doubled because of the salt trade!
Some nobles are excited.
But also some nobles are more gloomy.
Because with the ever-increasing trade in salt, there are more and more robbers roaming in the male lion duchy.
There may be gangs of robbers specially arranged by some nobles for extra money, but more are from the outside world, such as the Silver Plate Kingdom, or the gang of robbers who came from the Resniston River and heard the news!
Of course there are also various forces behind it.
Interleaving is complex.
And even the nobles of the entire Lion Principality need to use the noble court to contact each other and form a joint army to eliminate the gang of robbers in order to expel the robbers that appear from time to time in their own territory.
But also because of this, those gangs of robbers with the support of local noble forces can always escape.
It's just that many nobles have also discovered strange things.
I don't know when.
At the junction of the three counties of North County, East County, and South County, adjacent to Marsburg where Viscount Kevin is located, a band of robbers whistling like a gust of wind quietly appeared and swept away any opposition. the sound of.
It was a band of bandits made up of light cavalry.
There are approximately 1,500 people.
Experienced in combat, and more experienced in raiding.
If there are nobles who form a coalition to fight against them, this mysterious band of robbers will disappear between the plains, seemingly hidden behind a hollow or hill somewhere, very cunning.
And when the coalition is disbanded, it will reappear, looting many caravans.
Plundering is not slaughter either.
It's a cut.
As long as the caravan pays 5 golden eagles, it can be released, and it will also solve the threat of other robber groups for the caravan.
In the short period of one month, not only was this bandit group not wiped out~IndoMTL.com~, but because of its good reputation, many caravans were willing to pay the golden eagle in exchange for the next peace.
These caravans trade salt.
After a trade trip, the profit of the caravan will never be less than 50 golden eagles.
The price of 5 golden eagles in exchange for peace, and the subsequent threat of no worse bandits who slaughter caravans at every turn, is definitely worth the money.
If it is really encountered by those robber groups, it is estimated that the end will be lost.
It's a pity.
This band of light cavalry robbers is only responsible for the security of the area where the three counties meet.
Although the borders of these three counties were the most dangerous in the past, the gangs of robbers who were now driven out of this place happened to be scattered on the flat wasteland of the three counties.
It even poses a great threat to villages in certain regions.
Indirectly affects the livelihood of the lords.
Of course, these are not the business people care about, it is enough to make money.
If they can hire this group of light cavalry now, it is estimated that someone has moved to hire this group of elite troops directly. As for a bandit gang or something, there is no need to worry too much.
Some mercenary groups, in their spare time, also serve as gangs of bandits.
This is normal.
It's just a pity that the hussars didn't agree.
On the contrary, it sometimes disappears for a few days, and then mysteriously appears in some places in the North County Territory or the South County Territory, just like investigating or exploring the way, which really makes people feel weird.
However, in the face of the huge profits of the salt trade, not many people care about these strange things.
The most important thing is to pay attention to the salt trade and trade routes and see if you can make money! ()
