Chapter 171 Noble [1/2]
Everyone has their own temper.
Although an old man is lukewarm in his daily life, he is like a good old man, allowing Gao Wen to do whatever he wants in his mage tower, in fact, this old man is also feeling bad.
When the critical moment, he hit Gao Wen with a heavy hammer and made him so thick that he was so thick that his inside was tender.
What is this called?
This is scheming!
Not only did you avenge yourself, but you would be so uncomfortable that you would also be told that you owe him favors.
Ginger is still spicy.
......
......
The episode between Anthony Oum and Gao Wen had no big impact on the situation in the entire Black Soil City.
At present, for Black Rock City, the most important thing is to welcome reinforcements from the ally Lionheart Kingdom.
Um.
More directly, we welcome the entire mage army to arrive here in the floating city.
A mage group of three thousand people!
So many mages gathered together, for some people in remote places, it is a rare wonder.
A normal town is like the one in Twilight Valley where Gao Wen's own house was located, and there is basically no sign of a mage.
Otherwise, when calling a wizard, the word "master" would not be added to the following.
Black Soil City is better, because the Magic Academy of Tulip Kingdom is set up here.
It is basically the same as the people of Black Turkish City, who are at the Tulip Kingdom Base, have much higher acceptance of the Master of the Master than in other places.
Of course, this is just a comparison.
In fact, when I saw many high-level mages with golden badges on their shoulders entering the city, the residents of Black Soil City were still very surprised.
"Many mages, where did these people emerge?"
"It seems to be from the big guy in the sky just now."
"I heard that this is the reinforcements sent by the Lionheart Kingdom to support us. Are we fighting now?"
"How many people need to be there?"
"Eight hundred? One thousand? So many high-level mages, let alone us, even those noble men, I guess it is the first time I have seen them in my life."
"But then again, since the reinforcements have arrived, can we win this battle?"
"Hey, I really don't know this."
"I heard from those who retreated from Butch City to the east, that the enemies in the ancient mountains are very powerful, otherwise they would not have retreated to our Black Soil City."
"What a good city, it's just occupied by the monsters in the mountains. It's really a sin."
"Shh, stop talking, I heard that just a few days ago, the mages of our Black Tu City directly destroyed the entire Butch City..."
"Who did you hear?"
"My relative has a soldier at home and is in the First Legion. When he came back to transport grain a few days ago, he told me that the entire city was blown up and turned into a magma pool..."
"Come, take him away!"
"Hey? Hey? What are you doing..."
A large group of people rushed out of the welcoming team and arrested the person who "leaked military secrets".
Many bystanders were watching, staying away from there, fearing that they would cause trouble.
There was chaos here, and the Marquis of Black Soil who were on the war horses would naturally not be invisible.
Beside him, Caesar, who was also riding on a horse, watched this scene with interest. Until the man was pressed and disappeared from his sight, Caesar turned around and smiled and said to the Marquis of Black Soil:
"Marquis Marquis, your confidentiality measures don't seem to be very good. I want to know, what will the civilian marquis just now do?"
"When you go back to His Highness Caesar, you will be the one who privately spreads military intelligence according to the wartime ban in the Tulip Kingdom."
"Just that's it?"
"This military order is only aimed at civilians, and the relative of his officer who confessed his military information to his relatives will be punished for revoking all military ranks, military affairs, and being sent to Sulfur Mountain for ten years."
"ten years...."
Hearing the three words "Sulphur Mountain", a flash of light flashed in Caesar's eyes.
The Sulfur Mountain in the Tulip Kingdom is a large vein that produces sulfur and is also the true funding pillar of the Tulip Kingdom.
According to calculations over the past two decades, four to one-third of the tulip kingdom's taxes actually come from this Mount of Sulphur.
What is sulfur?
In fact, in magic civilization, processed sulfur is one of the best raw materials to power the floating city.
Compared with charcoal, oil, magic energy, magic crystals and other items, it is more affordable and more skilled and brave.
And mastering the Tulip Kingdom of Sulfur Mountain is actually equivalent to owning a gold mine that continuously produces money.
Yes, this is a gold mine in an open-air location!
In fact, in the previous negotiations between the Lion Heart Kingdom and the Tulip Kingdom, the Lion Heart Kingdom also mentioned that it was necessary to obtain the mining rights of Sulfur Mountain through replacement.
Unfortunately, it was rejected by the Tulip Kingdom and replaced it with a piece of land that can be used to cultivate food.
Now that he heard the news of Sulphur Mountain from the Marquis of Black Soil again, Caesar's expression remained unchanged, but he was thinking in his heart whether this was the Marquis of Black Soil who was expressing his own attitude.
Yes.
The Earl of Black Soil is probably demonstrating to him, Caesar...
On a large scale, the Tulip Kingdom is just a remote and weak country.
However, from a personal perspective, it is useful for a huge territory, and the territory has a Black Soil Marquis, including Mount Sulphur and Tulip Kingdom Magic Academy, whose actual status is not lower than that of Caesar.
In other words, after transferring the Marquis of Black Soil to the Kingdom of Lion Heart, the Marquis of Black Soil, who is in the Kingdom of Lion Heart, is still a high nobleman who needs the royal family to treat him seriously.
This sounds strange?
But in reality, this is not strange.
A kingdom is a kingdom, and a noble is a noble.
Even if the Tulip Kingdom was annexed by the Lionheart Kingdom, it would not have much impact on the Black Soil Marquis, who was a nobleman.
Not only will you not be suppressed by the new owner because of a new owner because of a new owner's strength, but you will be able to straighten your back even more because of the new owner's strength...
Yes, the new owner needs the oath of allegiance from the nobles!
If the loyalty of the nobles is not received, even if the Lion Heart Empire can conquer the entire territory of the Tulip Kingdom, it would be best if it would be forced to give up this land because of the annoying rebellion in various places.
This is a very strange logical circle, but it really exists in the country of NPCs.
Territory, people, army, wealth, magic!
These are the fundamentals for measuring whether a noble is powerful. Compared with that, the strength of the kingdom behind him is actually not very strong to the nobles.
Therefore, even if Caesar is the first heir to the Lionheart Kingdom, he does not have any advantage when facing the Marquis of Black Soil.
