Lord of the Oasis Chapter 454: .Viscount Wayne’s ambition
Viscount Wayne rides on his warhorse and is covered in chain mail carefully crafted by high-level blacksmiths, including integral neck armor, arm armor, and leg armor knocked out of iron sheets.
There is no way, as the supreme lord of the Northern Territory, he needs such protection and can afford it.
300 knights are behind him.
The equipment is not bad.
On the pennant at the top of the lance, is the family coat of arms belonging to Viscount Wayne.
A red-eyed swallow clutching a sword and shield surrounded by flowers.
This means that he has real power, a fief, and an army. The sword and shield represent all of this, and the three kinds of flower bones that are vaguely visible among the clusters of flowers represent that his family has been passed down for three hundred years.
It's just that the swallow is not a proud pattern, but rather ironic in the eyes of Viscount Wayne.
Swallows represent commoners.
Prove that his family is a nobleman from commoners.
And the red eye is the red eye like an eagle eye, which means that his family has been married to the royal family, belongs to one of the nobles that the royal family values most, and is the most important noble ally of the royal family.
The eagle and the lion are often the symbols of the royal family.
The symbol of the Lion Principality is the lion.
Then the eagle is a branch bloodline closely related to the royal family, and it also represents those top nobles.
Anyway, nobles are all married and in-laws, and their bloodlines have already penetrated into each other. It doesn't matter even if the same bloodline is flowing, because that's the truth. They rely on marriage to exchange for mutual support.
It's just that Viscount Wayne wants to go a step further. It would be even better if the swallows could be replaced by eagles!
"Now is the time."
He muttered to himself.
Turn his head, just behind him and the knight who is close to him, piles of mercenaries in different clothes but armed with weapons form a long snake shape, closely following behind him, walking quickly, a All of them had enthusiasm and excitement on their faces.
The desire for wealth, as well as the desire to change one's class, turns into desire.
The same goes for Viscount Wayne.
"It's there."
He looked forward, and on the far horizon, a majestic mountain range appeared before him.
Sweeping far away, from the end of the horizon on the left to the end of the horizon on the right, it seems to be endless, and it is precisely this almost magnificent mountain range that blocks the invasion from the farther north, the vast desert.
This is the Sanwaya Mountains, the lion's principality's best backing.
It used to be.
Now, too!
Especially when the salt mines were discovered in the Narun desert, it also brought economic backing.
The Principality of Lions got rid of its original economic structure in a short period of time. It did not need to exchange crops and handicrafts for various materials. It made a lot of money just by collecting tolls and commissions for caravans. Flowing oil.
It's all because of that salt mine, which is not currently under the control of the Principality of Lions!
The nobles began to act restlessly.
He Viscount Wayne is one of the most direct leaders.
That's right.
Viscount Wayne, the lord of North County, is this early bird.
He is also willing to be the first bird, willing to be used by the high-ranking nobles in the southern county, and even complacent about it. Finally, he has the opportunity to come into contact with those real powers that belong to the highest power of the Lion Principality.
If there is no value in being a human being, it means that this guy has no value at all.
That's no different from the dead.
On the contrary.
If you can use other people's use indirectly.
It's a win-win, and Viscount Wayne likes it so much that he's willing to be the first.
Don't look at him commanding the entire North County Territory, but this vast land is so barren and dangerous. The annual output of all the farms under his jurisdiction is not even comparable to the several riverside farms in the South County Territory.
Even the most lucrative fur products from the Sangwaya Mountains are not as profitable as river trade.
Most critical.
Viscount Wayne, his title is only Viscount.
In the Southern and Eastern Commands, they are only middle- and high-level nobles, so you can see the status of the Northern Command.
In the Principality of Lions, it is often said that the nobles of the North County are a group of beggars with noble titles, and even those honorary nobles in the palace are reluctant to go to the North County to take office, obviously they do not look down on this barren land. soil of.
How could he, Viscount Wayne, be willing to sink in like this forever and be looked down upon by the mainstream aristocratic circles?
That's right.
Even he didn't actually join the noble circle.
The nobles in the southern county are the real nobles. In the past, they could be counted as the eastern county. As for the nobles in the northern county, they are no different from ordinary hillbillies. In fact, the commoners in the southern county are comparable to the northern county. collared knight.
In the real aristocratic circle, this is undoubtedly shameful and tarnishes the honor of the nobles.
Now it's different.
As long as he captures the Stone Pass, he will have a stepping stone to the high-ranking noble circle.
While occupying the salt mines in the Naron Desert, even if they have to share the spoils with other nobles of the Principality of Lions, and even the one with the smallest contribution, he will not get the big head, Viscount Wayne also knows that ~IndoMTL.com~ he will In this way, he has completely become a high-ranking noble.
This is an opportunity for his Wayne family to undergo a complete qualitative change.
He doesn't need to be too greedy.
Just play it safe.
The Wayne family began to prosper, and it took 220 years to become the supreme lord of the North County Territory.
That is, his grandfather, who made a great contribution to obtain the status of the supreme lord of the North County, which was passed on to his father a few years later, and then his father passed it on before his death. he.
In conversion, it took three generations to exchange for the status of the high lord of the North County Territory for 80 years.
And he.
A new generation of Viscounts of House Wayne.
Finally, in the 16th year of inheriting this title and territory, new changes have been made.
As long as the title of the lord of the northern county is not lost, and the senior nobles of the southern county are married and entangled, then the Wayne family can completely grow into a real senior noble by virtue of the geographical factors.
The entanglement of interests and the marriage of reality are the most reliable alliance methods for nobles.
You have me and I have you.
Viscount Wayne can wait.
The big deal, in the generation of his grandson, he became a high-ranking noble.
Even when the time comes, the Wayne family is no longer a viscount, even an earl is possible, and even the bloodline has been entangled with the bloodline of the royal family, even the grand duke has his bloodline.
It's not impossible, just thinking about it, Viscount Wayne feels his whole body trembling, and there is nothing to add to his excitement.
"Call down!"
He shouted.
He turned his head and shouted to the messenger behind him: "Tell me those lovely lads, work harder, I need to be 30 miles outside of the Stone Pass before evening, and then I will find a village to come to. Let everyone rest!"
"Yes!" The messenger nodded and immediately rode down to convey the order.
