At the docks of the main city of Pylos, hundreds of ships lined up to dock, and groups of soldiers and knights dressed in different costumes stepped on the planks of the docked ships. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

These soldiers and knights belonged to the noble lords and even the king's guards.

In order to avoid the emergence of a centralized system among the human lords that threatens itself, the Church of the Radiant Lord vigorously promotes a universal aristocratic feudal system in the human world.

As the common name goes, the vassals of my vassals are not my vassals!

On the other hand, my master's master, not my master, is not my master, and it is not illegal to cut him, let alone obey the orders of my master's master!

I have to say that for those small and medium-sized nobles, this set is definitely a measure that has more advantages than disadvantages!

Therefore, this set of vassals is not my vassals, it has been popular in the human world for hundreds of years and has endured!

As a result, after the king divided the dukes, marquises, and counts, the princes and earls divided the viscounts, barons, and lords who did not need to obey the king!

Although these viscounts, barons, and lords have small territories and small armies, they have the support of the Church of the Lord of Radiance, and they do not bird the king's orders at all!

In fact, many counties and marquises are not divided by the king, because from the legal point of view, the duke can also be divided into earls and marquises, the Lord of Radiance Church in the noble fiefdom territory, the performance of extra loose, king, duke, Hou, earl, son, male, six noble ranks, as long as it is one level higher, you can give the following a feud, of course, the size of the fief should match the title, the nobility is a very serious matter, and it is never allowed to appear the kind of territory the size of a barony's domain, seal out an earl!

Of course, if this baron fights for his own strength in the later annexation campaign, and expands to a certain extent, he can submit a request for promotion of the noble title to the higher nobles and the church, and the promotion of the nobles can be done without the permission of the higher nobles, but only with the approval of the high priest of the local church!

The promotion of the noble title is very important, this is not as simple as a simple name, here is not only related to the issue of noble honor, the lower nobles to the superior nobles and even other restrictions, these details can be tolerated for the real hero, but if the size of the noble territory can not match the title, it will cause legal disagreement, which will give the surrounding nobles and even the superior nobles and even the king sufficient reason for war!

When the time comes, whether to lead the troops to directly attack the annexation, or to jointly press and cut off the title, it depends on the real strength!

As long as this lord is not strong enough to beat all the surrounding nobles and even the king and grand duke, he must obediently abide by the legitimacy of the legal principles of this noble title!

But then again, if there is really a lord who can beat all the invincible nobles around him, it is impossible for the church to let him continue to maintain the strong centripetal force in the territory!

At that time, this lord may only have two ways, one is to divide his own direct territory and cut it up to reassure the church and the surrounding noble neighbors, and the other is to face the inquisition of the Church of the Lord of Radiance!

If this lord had the misfortune to defeat the crusading forces of the Church Inquisition, he would have to pray for a more blessed death......

In the 500 years of the Dark Calendar, there have been no nobles without great talents, and they single-handedly overturned the crusade of the Church's Inquisitors, and brought the coalition of surrounding noble neighbors!

It's a pity that the final fate of this kind of heroic lord is either to die at the hands of the terrifying Assassin Alliance, or to be pressed to the ground by the Holy Knights and abused to 'Xiang'!

In this way, the distorted and brain-dead theorem of my vassals is not my vassals has been circulating for 500 years!

A large number of fragmentary noble lords, the assembled army naturally had different names, and this time the crusade of the Pope on the Greek Peninsula came from only two great kingdoms, one was the Frankish kingdom and the other was the Roman kingdom.

However, it was the crusaders formed by these two kingdoms that divided into hundreds of troops, and they were not subordinate to each other!

Well, it can't be said that they don't belong to each other at all, in the crusaders, the nobles can not bird each other, or meet according to the title of the courtesy, what should be done when fighting, but since the crusaders are promoted by the Church of the Lord of Radiance, there is naturally a unified commander, the figure elected by the Church - High Priest Alibach!

Don't look at the Church of the Radiant Lords, the high priest is only equivalent to a position such as a local presiding officer, and there is a group of cardinal archbishops and presiding judges and other high officials above their heads, but for those noble lords, the high priest of the church is definitely qualified to lead them in battle!

After all, a king who could compete with the high priest in status could not have come with the crusaders!

The highest in the crusaders is the duke, although there are several dukes in the crusaders, but only one duke belongs to the 'royal conquest', which is the boss of the Sicilian dukedom across the sea from the Greek peninsula on the Roman peninsula!

The Duke of Sicily apparently received a large amount of private benefits from the Church to go to the front in person, and after taking the Greek Peninsula, the Duke of Sicily's fiefdom may be able to increase a lot!

The Church had no intention of eradicating Agamemnon, but it did not want to continue to keep the Greek peninsula out of the power of the Church, even if it was barren!

In the past, it was because the orcs in the Balkans often went south to the Greek Peninsula to plunder, which led to the great cost of garrisoning here, so the church did not take action, but now there is a person on the Greek Peninsula who makes the Radiant Bishop feel unhappy, and the Night Elf Empress, who also got vague news, has destroyed the Orc Legion in the Balkans, intending to eliminate the uncertain factor of Lei Zihao together!

The army must have sweetness to go on an expedition, and the Greek peninsula is the sweetness that the Church promised to the noble lords of the human world!

I have to say that Agamemnon is also quite tragic, not to mention the Crusaders, even if they win in the end, a large number of forces from the human main world will pour into the Greek peninsula!

This wave of soldiers and knights who disembarked at the pier of the city of Pylos were mainly soldiers and knights from the noble realms of the Roman kingdom, such as Beninovendo sword and shieldmen, Sporeto sword and shield soldiers, Florentine sword and shield soldiers, and Pavia sword and shield soldiers......

Why is Mao all sword and shield soldiers?

The reason is very simple, the sword and shield soldiers are suitable for melee combat and defensive arrows, and the cost is not too high, in the aristocratic civil war of the human main world with knight melee as the main means, the sword and shield soldiers are like a panacea!

Of course, the sword and shield soldiers here refer to the aristocratic regular army, and the largest number is actually a temporary levy with only spears!
