Although the kingdom of Andalusia has faster, specially domesticated demonic creatures that act as messengers to deliver messages, the delivery efficiency is still not very good.
When the Count of Badajos, who was closest to the border of the Tejo River, received the news, the Chaos Orc legions on the border had begun to retreat.
The counts of the Kingdom of Andalusia and the counts of the Purple Dragon Federation are two completely different concepts.
The noble titles of the Purple Dragon Federation have a strict hierarchy, while the Chaos Human titles in the Obaro Continent are just an honorific title, or a name.
In addition to the fact that the title of king cannot be used indiscriminately, there is no clear distinction between dukes, marquises, and earls, but different customary usages according to different regions.
The noble lords of Central Europe are accustomed to using marquises, and the noble lords of the Kingdom of Andalusia are accustomed to using counts, which does not mean that the noble lords of the Andalusian Kingdom are of a lower level and have a weaker military than the marquis!
Because there are no marquis dukes in the Kingdom of Andalusia, and above the counts are kings!
In Andalusia, there are only three ranks of nobility for the Chaos Humans.
The highest is the king of the strongest Chaos Human Lord elected by many great nobles.
The second is a noble lord with a noble title.
The lowest are the Chaos Human Knights, that is, the Purple Dragon Federation people commonly known as the minor nobles, they also have fiefdoms, but they are actually the retainers of the big nobles, that is, the core private soldiers!
If the strength of the Chaos Human Knight breaks through to the first level and establishes enough merits, he can gain the king's appreciation, as long as there is no opposition from more than half of the great nobles, he can become the new great noble!
Earn a noble title!
Of course, this is very difficult, and it is only in the expansion of the territory that new nobles will be born.
These three levels are the ruling class of the Obaro Continent, and below the Chaos Human Knights are ordinary Chaos Human Warriors who have no privileges, and their promotion becomes very easy, breaking through to at least the 4th rank, and establishing a certain number of merits, they can become Chaos Human Knights without fiefdoms.
In the native lands of Obarro, they are called quasi-knights.
There are two ways for a prospective knight to obtain a fief.
Find a regular Chaos Human Knight to challenge, and after victory, you can deprive its fief and become a new Chaos Human Knight.
It is this cruel way that ensures that the Chaos Human Knight always has strong combat power, starting as a 5th order powerhouse, or the kind that fights full-time!
Even if the fief of the Chaos Human Knight has the right of hereditary inheritance, the Chaos Human Knight will not allow his child to inherit the fief before reaching the 5th Order, which will only become the target of hunting for the prospective knights!
Of course, it takes a certain amount of military merit to start a challenge, and once the quasi-knight fails the challenge, the winner has the right to kill the other party!
Even if they are not killed, the would-be knight will be deprived of all privileges, relegated to a minion, and accumulate military merit from scratch!
Compared to the first way to promote the Chaos Human Knight, the second way is relatively easy, as long as the kingdom's territory is expanded and has a certain amount of merit, the quasi-knight can join the newly born nobles and become official knights under his command to obtain fiefs.
Because the great nobles of the Chaos Humans are only experts in cutting people, and they don't care much about managing the fiefs, they need to divide their own territories to the knights to be responsible for management, and the ownership of these feudal lands actually still belongs to the great nobles, but the knights can enjoy their benefits, similar to the military merit field.
Therefore, every newly born nobleman will recruit and promote a group of official knights to assist him, and accept them as retainers to consolidate his power.
Once they become great nobles, as long as the kingdom does not fall, they are the elites that have been passed down from generation to generation, and the Chaos Knights can be challenged and replaced, but the great nobles cannot, once any Chaos Knight tries to rebel, it will be regarded as a provocation to the laws of the kingdom!
However, the great nobles of the Obaro Continent have a rich supply of magic stone resources, and they also have the secret method of blood sacrifice, as long as they are not idiots in the true sense, they can also break through the 5th order barrier just by accumulating resources.
The great nobles of the Obaro Continent may not be as capable of fighting as the powerful Chaos Knights under their command, but they can definitely subdue most ordinary Chaos Knights.
The path of a professional is not only about talent, but more importantly, about resources!
Of course, the rapid promotion of the Chaos Humans also comes at a price, and the reason why they are called Chaos Humans is because they are no longer the humans they once were, and including their bloodline genes, they have been polluted by the power of Chaos!
Negative emotions such as murder, debauchery, and tyranny are the labels of Chaos Human Lords, and if they don't still have human intelligence, they will be no different from those demonized creatures!
This information is in the archives of the city government of Rees, and Wang Ziming has long known it, not only has he read it, but most of the officers in the blue army under his command have also read it.
In particular, the officers of the First Army, knowing themselves and their opponents, naturally had to understand what their opponents were like before attacking.
Although there is not much information, it is better than not knowing at all.
It was precisely knowing the feudal system of the Andalusian Kingdom that Wang Ziming emphasized the suddenness of the attack.
The most elite combat subjects of the Chaos Humans, the Chaos Human Knights and Quasi-Knights, are scattered in various fiefdoms.
Whether it's a great nobleman summoning a knight or a king summoning a great nobleman to fight, it takes a lot of time.
In the days when there was no fast delivery of messages such as the telegraph, this time was measured in days!
Even if the great nobles of the Andalusian Kingdom have mysterious creations to quickly deliver news, they will never be able to match every Chaos Human Knight, and it will take a lot of time to gather the Chaos Human Knights!
Just as Wang Ziming speculated, Count Badajoz, who got the news, immediately used a mysterious creation dedicated to transmitting the news to His Majesty the King, who was leading a large army to repeatedly defeat the Kingdom of Casti on the front line.
Therefore, in less than a day, the great nobles of the Kingdom of Andalusia and even the neighboring countries learned of the beginning of the invasion of the humans of the Federation!
However, Count Badajoth's order to gather the Chaos Human Knights under his command and gather an army of Chaos Orcs and other demonic creatures has become extremely slow......
Mysterious creations are extremely expensive products, and the ones that can deliver messages instantly are even more priceless!
In an environment where modern technology such as the telegraph is not available, even the federal government would be jealous of the mysterious creation of information over long distances!
In addition, the Obaro Continent, which is rich in magic stone resources and various mysterious creatures, can allow most of the great nobles to be equipped with mysterious creations that can be transmitted instantly, and in the Purple Dragon Federation, all the mysterious creations that can communicate together are not more than a hand!
