With the gradual improvement of the defensive belt, the pressure on the obsidian collar gradually decreased, and Sycamore was able to free up his efforts to sort out the obsidian collar's chaotic government affairs.

As a large number of experienced nobles, housekeepers, deacons, and people from all walks of life from distant aristocratic families were reorganized and arranged to various positions in the obsidian collar after being unified by Zhuoya, the operation of the obsidian collar was gradually on the right track.

A large amount of value created by players has been continuously flowing into the pockets of "Secret Shadow", which is used to buy a large number of materials to replenish the huge dungeon warehouse of the Obsidian Territory, in addition to providing the needs of the entire Obsidian Territory players, it is also used to purchase a large number of building materials and continue to build the Obsidian Territory, which is a long-lasting and costly investment.

Although Sycamore has pursued the practical surname as much as possible and abandoned the carving of details, it is still a drop in the bucket to make the Obsidian Collar completely complete by relying only on the resources provided by the players who have joined the Obsidian Collar.

But I have to say that the Obsidian Territory, which has completed the basic construction, has now become the core area of Andele and even the players on the entire Kovare continent, after all, this is the first territory controlled by players and governed independently... Of course, for players who don't know the inside story, the Obsidian Collar is the only place where you can get a territory and a knighthood.

As for the battle lord for title system formulated by Wutong, there is no need to worry about creating a huge group of nobles, because the [Shu clan] level 3, [scholar clan] level 3, [wang clan] level 3, plus the [knight] level 6, [quasi-lord] level 6, [lord] level 6 among the [second-class nobles], a full twenty-seven levels of knighthood level, enough for them to rise to the year of the monkey.

Don't look at the early promotion, but in fact, every time you upgrade a status level, the amount of battle medals required increases tenfold, from [Inferior Shu Clan] to [Shu Clan] only needs 100 battle medals, [Shu Clan] to [High Shu Clan] requires 1000 battle medals, and to [Inferior Scholar Clan] is a full 10,000 battle medals, [Scholar Clan] 100,000, [High Scholar Clan] million, [Inferior Clan] 10 million, [High Rank Clan] 1 billion...

Although you can get 100 battle medals by killing a Canas skeleton, the higher the level, the more battle medals you get, and you can calculate that players need to kill more than 10 million Canas skeletons to be promoted from the lowest level [Inferior Clan] to [High Noble], and if the 20 or 30 million players on the northern battlefield plus aboriginal adventurers and mercenaries all want to be promoted to [Inferior Nobles], how many Canas skeletons do they have to kill?

Although the loot collected on the battlefield can also be exchanged for battle medals, and killing the more advanced Kanas undead creatures can also get more battle medals, but if you want to be promoted to [First Rank Lord], it is also a distant thing.

Therefore, the title is just a bundle of "grass" that a certain black lord uses to hang in front of the noses of the players' group of "donkeys", which can be seen, but not eaten, so they can only keep moving forward with hope.

Not to mention that in order to prevent accidents, a certain black lord also introduced a battle medal exchange system very evilly, supplies can be exchanged for battle medals, income taxes can be offset with battle medals, skeleton soldiers can be hired with battle medals, and equipment can be purchased with battle medals...

In this case, it is difficult for anyone to resist the temptation not to use the battle medal, right? Therefore, Obsidian Collar unexpectedly has an invisible "virtual currency".

And the reason why Wutong dared to sell the official mantle so blatantly, and promoted it to the entire territory of the obsidian realm, was entirely because of the acquisition of Mishasi. Angstrom. The "advice" of Her Royal Highness Princess Wiener.

Of course, Princess Mishas's suggestion does not mean that Sycamore has obtained the permission of Her Majesty the Queen, because this behavior of Inducius is not the first of his kind in Adele, or on the Kovare continent!

In the kingdoms of the continent of Kovaré, all powerful lords will always have a large number of small noble families, as well as some vassal families belonging to their territory, the lord provides protection for them, and the vassals worship their masters, and there is a subordinate relationship between the two.

In this case, there are often many noble members under the name of a lord to serve him, such as those nobles under Wutong's current command, and their butlers themselves even have the title of [baron] or even [viscount], although they are only collarless nobles, but the status of nobility is recognized by the royal family.

And those subordinates under the lord's name who do not have the status of nobility, after serving the lord for a long time, have gained the trust and recognition of the lord, and the lord will also give them the status of [secondary noble] to show favor, but the title that the lord can grant is limited.

Like the [viscount] of Wutong, he only holds one [first baron], three [second barons], nine [third barons], and twenty-seven [second barons] of "no lords", these titles are recognized by the royal family, but do not grant lands and pay salaries, and are completely nominal titles.

However, if the lord wishes, he can take out the fiefs from his own domain and divide them among them, or pay their salaries in place of the royal family, and the royal family does not care, and the status of this type of title is lower than that granted by the royal family.

However, there are too many people working under a [viscount] level lord, and only forty "no lords" are far from enough to meet the demand, so usually the lord will be very cautious to divide these titles to avoid the situation of "two peaches killing three soldiers" under his subordinates, that is, he will be uncomfortable.

Therefore, in order to solve this problem, the lords have long used a kind of [virtual lord], that is, a verbally promised title instead of reward, until the subordinates have really made something worthy of praise, and then they are truly awarded to their subordinates "no lord".

These titles are not recognized by the royal family, but they acquiesce in the existence of this class, so often this kind of [virtual jue] can only take effect within the scope of the lord's territory that is granted, and when it leaves the lord's territory, it loses its meaning, and slowly this kind of [virtual jue] is distinguished from [imperial jue] and is called [family jue], also called family title.

[Jiajue] refers to the private title of the lord who is lower than the knight, like the sycamore, you can grant your subordinates any title lower than your own [viscount] title, and there is no limit to the number, as long as the lord is happy, no one will recognize it anyway, but in terms of title, it is consistent with the [Emperor] system.

With the birth of the [Jiajue] system, lower titles were slowly derived, that is, [Shijue] and [Wangjue] below the [second-class nobles], and this kind of lower-level titles were called [Minjue], so [Huangjue], [Jiajue], and [Minjue] formed the class pyramid on the Kovarare continent.

At the suggestion of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Wutong granted a large amount of money within the scope of the Obsidian Realm, that is, the [Family Lord] and the [Civil Lord], no matter how he tossed it, he would not be blamed by the royal family, but it was also based on the premise that he disclosed his plan to the old man Zemmour, Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the royal ceremonial officer who accompanied Her Royal Highness the Princess in the Obsidian Territory.

Because the obsidian territory owned by Wutong is really ungrown, the environment is sinister, and there are no resources, and even the land can't grow food, so although the territory granted to Wutong is far beyond the scope of the [viscount's] due territory, the royal family still feels that they owe something to Wutong, a meritorious hero of King Qin.

In terms of dealing with him, the surname is very tolerant, and for a major matter like Wutong, he even saved the procedure of reporting to Her Majesty the Queen, just Her Royal Highness Princess Mithas and the royal ceremonial officer deliberated a little and passed it, which shows that Her Majesty the Queen has already explained before Her Royal Highness the princess came to the obsidian collar.

Obviously, it is impossible for those players who are working hard to accumulate war medals to know this, and it is not for nothing that Wutong grants the leaders of players and knighthoods without discrimination regardless of their origin and background, how can he even grant the Zodiac and cross-border players who do not have Adele nationality to grant the Knighthood and the title?

Isn't it all because this kind of "verbal lord" is promoted or cut, it's completely a matter of his lord's word, even the players of the current hostile countries [Kannas] and [Serene] dare to confer knighthoods and fiefs, and players don't want to think about it, it is impossible for the Ander royal family to allow him to be such a small [viscount], covering the sky with one hand to "shield" the personnel of the enemy camp, can't consider this, who is to blame?

At present, there are thousands of Obsidian Domain's feudal estates, and they are increasing every day, but they are basically one hundred acres (acres) of [secondary mining] and one thousand acres of [low-level mining], after all, the number of players who have reached the second level is not much, with the territory area of 1,500 square kilometers of Obsidian Territory, [low-level mining] He is enough to divide 15,000, and the thousands in front of him are not even a fraction.

In addition, the territory granted by the royal family to Wutong is completely a verbal number symbolizing the surname, anyway, he has already occupied 1,500 square kilometers of [viscount], which is two or three times more than the territory of [earl], and it is nothing more.

In fact, if he is willing to occupy the three fierce lands of [Gray Bone Plain], [Broken Whispering Forest], and [Wailing Wilderness], the royal family will not say anything, anyway, it is also an indestructible land that does not have any value, in the previous situation of the fiefdom was so tense, not an inch of land in the Northern Province has been divided, it can be seen that this place is not welcomed.

Now Her Majesty has killed two-thirds of the noble class of Adele in all directions, and the vast amount of fertile land that has been vacated is some, so naturally it will not be so much to worry about the place where the birds do not lay eggs in the Northern Province, and they have the ability to occupy the Star Mountain Range.

With a large number of small fortress-like fiefdoms buffered by a defensive belt, the Obsidian Collar (referring to the city of Obsidian Crystal) was given a rare opportunity to develop, and after the establishment of various institutions, it entered a regular state of operation.

But as the battle situation on the front line gradually escalated, Wutong also had to withdraw from government affairs and refocus his energy on the battlefield.

In the massive Tier 1 Kanas Skull Sea, Tier 2 Kanas Zombie hoplites began to appear, and these tireless killing machines can always cause great casualties to players, forcing players to use various means to deal with them.

In addition to extracting a small number of Tier 2 individuals in the player group to snipe them, a large number of alchemy items, traps, etc., are also used, just to prevent these heavily loaded zombies from ramming the walls of the mining city.

Not to mention the heavy armor cast on their bodies, just what they hold in their hands is not so much a giant sword, but a murderous weapon of a giant iron ingot, which can easily destroy the defense of the city wall by rushing under the city wall and slashing it with a few knives, once the city is broken and the heavy zombies rush into the interior of the mining town, it will be a massacre.

There are also more powerful zombie cavalry and zombie knights, which are even more difficult for ordinary players to resist, but once you encounter this irresistible situation, you can choose to purchase the value-added rescue services of the obsidian collar:

As long as you release a special alchemy flower, you can summon a cavalry team from the nearby "Knights of the Underfire" to rescue, although it is expensive, but it is cheaper than rebuilding the estate.

With such a good training opportunity, it is impossible for Sycamore to leave the "Knights of the Flame Spirit" in Obsidian City to hatch eggs, although after withdrawing the troops to the defensive belt, Sycamore scattered the team and distributed it in the gap between the provinces, blocking those Canas skeletons who do not attack the fortress-type mining through the defensive belt, which not only reduces casualties, but also achieves the purpose of training.

In order to increase the strength of the Obsidian Collar as much as possible, Wutong even sent out low-level skeletons and used the Sea of Skeletons to deal with the Sea of Skulls, although the casualties were huge, but through this Gu-refining elimination training mode, a large number of high-level skeletons were born, making the overall strength continue to rise.

Originally, the number of only one million was climbing in geometric numbers, and the number of [Obsidian Crystal Dark Gold Skeleton Knights], which was only about a hundred or so at the beginning, has also greatly increased due to the continuous advancement of the [Fire Crystal Dark Gold Skull Cavalry] in the legion under his command.

According to this model, maybe in the future, Wutong will be able to have a knight group composed entirely of knight-level combat power, and at that time, the "Knights of the Underworld" will be able to truly live up to its name, instead of relying on only a hundred or so [Fire Crystal Dark Gold Skeleton Knights] to support the scene like now.

In addition to wanting to achieve the purpose of training, Wutong even sent a large number of arcane skeletons into the battlefield, using the bones scattered on the battlefield on a large scale to spawn low-level skeletons into battle, also in order to absorb the massive free soul energy and negative energy that permeated the battlefield.

Only through this mode can the strength and strength of the Obsidian Leader be increased as much as possible to achieve the purpose of confronting the Canas Undead Legion, otherwise, it is impossible to confront the Canas Undead Legion with just one advance force by relying on the millions of soldiers who can fight with the Canas Undead Legion on such a large scale with just one advance force.

The Obsidian Leader's lack of troops was slightly alleviated with the return of the Lion and the Idyllic Landscape with the power they had developed in [Brulan].

Although because of the problem of random teleportation, the lion and the idyllic scenery were assigned to the kingdom of [Brulan], and they did not get the support of "Secret Shadow", and their development in [Brulan], the first power in the Kovarare continent, was far inferior to the achievements of Wutong, but they chose to join the two major knights of [Brulan] as early as the early stage, but they successfully obtained the status of advanced knights and formed their own team.

This time, they gave up their development in [Brulan], and all of them moved to Andele to assist Sycamore, bringing back not only huge resources, but also two knights that were formed and had official knight numbers:

The "Knights of Kenlan Elite" led by the lion and the "Knights of the Iron Shield" led by Idyllic!

These two knights take the offensive route, the other takes the defensive route, with a total of more than 20,000 people, all of whom are composed of players of the knight profession, many of whom have completed the knight trial and successfully advanced to the second level of knights.

Especially after they arrived in Wilshire after a long journey and entered the territory of the "Secret Shadow" in the city of Auraon, all the staff changed to the 30,000 Velena horses captured from the zodiac that Wutong had prepared for them a long time ago!

Most of the knight's combat power comes from his own mount, so the strength that a good war horse can exert in the hands of a formal knight is not just a superposition of mount and knight.

And when they arrived at the obsidian collar, all of them were redressed into a full set of Canas military armor, which caused the lions' combat effectiveness to skyrocket!

Although the industrial kingdom [Brulan] is famous for its various refined products and heavy industrial products, the steel refining and casting industry is the largest in the continent, and weapons and armor account for the majority of exports, but compared to the dwarven kingdom [Moro Collar] or the war kingdom [Cannas], the quality is slightly inferior, and the main focus is on cheap and practical cards with "large production and fast production".

Therefore, the relatively inexpensive [Brulan] weapons and armor on the lions were immediately stripped down by the sycamore and replaced with the military armor captured from Cannas, and the ones they replaced were not wasted, and were thrown by the sycamore to the military equipment hypermarket in exchange for surplus value.

The Canas military armor used by the two knight legions brought back by the lion and the idyllic scenery is not the one sold by the sycamore to ordinary players, but has been reprocessed and coated with a layer of enhanced military armor with fire crystal, and the quality has been directly improved by two orders from the original [exquisite] level, reaching the [perfect] quality.

On the premise of retaining their original knight order, Wutong directly incorporated them into the "Obsidian Knights" of the Obsidian Lord, and incorporated the family knights and escort regiments and private regiments brought by those nobles into their names, expanding the "Obsidian Knights" to 100,000 people, and then directly threw them all into the front-line battlefield, and trained with the "Knights of the Underworld"!

With the defense belt and their presence, there is no need to worry about the undead army of Kannas breaking through the defense line in a short time, and Sycamore can also follow the teacher and go to Fairhaven to participate in the quadrennial "Pan-Kovarare Continent Continent United Academy Trial Competition", which is the so-called "Chief War".

Summoned the relevant personnel, made the final arrangements and explanations, Wutong and they followed the old man Zemur with a little nervousness, and stepped into the super level spell [Any Gate] he opened, and the white light flashed in front of them, and appeared on the vast campus of the Venane Academy, and the Venane Academy, which should have been empty, was full of people at the moment, and many chief students of the Arcane Academy from the continent countries were all gathered here, and they were about to start the largest chief war in history!

Even Wutong couldn't help but get slightly nervous, because, after all, what appeared here was a player representing the high-end class of "Endless", among them was either the top person on the "Advanced Player" list, or the bull fork on the "Super Player" list.
