Chapter 42, the Viscount of the Empire?

What kind of status is a viscount?

Before the crossing, the panda could probably only answer "a knighthood, below the earl, above the baron", but after this period of wandering, the panda has a better understanding of the political pattern of the world, so now he can give an accurate answer.

In this world, the lowest-ranking lords are knights, who generally control a village to a town, the former is naturally needless to say, and the latter often comes with two or three subordinate villages.

Above the knight is the baron, who can have at least one town with three or four villages, and if more, even build a city, with no more than three towns.

Above the baron was the viscount, who must have owned a city and three or four towns, and in the case of villages, there would be at least twenty or so in total - that is, at least twenty or so knights as subordinates.

There are also many powerful among the viscounts, many of whom can even own about ten towns, but in any case, there can only be one city.

Further up the viscount is the count, who owns a main city and several sub-cities, and the villages under his command often have hundreds or more, and in the case of a border lord like Tara Khan, the villages can even reach two hundred, or even three hundred.

The marquis and duke above the earl are generally of high political status, but the territory is not more than the earl - if there is more, it will shake the king's rule, or if the territory is larger, it will simply be torn apart and crowned the king, who will be a vassal......

In terms of the political structure of the earth, the knight's village is generally less populated than the village on the earth, but the territory is larger, the baron's territory is almost equivalent to a township with various subordinate villages, the viscount is almost between a county-level administrative district and a county, and the earl's territory is at least equivalent to a regional-level administrative district, and like the county of Tarakhan, it is even equivalent to a small province on the earth.

Mulandana is a countyly territory, and its territory on the map is even larger than the county of Tarakhan, containing thousands of miles of grasslands, forests, and other areas, with a total area of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, nearly 100 pastoral tribes living in it, and almost as many peasant villages. Unlike the Tara Khanate, which is generally small in various villages, the villages and tribes of Mulandana tend to have a large population, and the villages in the territory are only about half of the Tara Khanate, but the actual number of troops that can be mobilized exceeds that of Tara Khan.

Not only that, but because of the perennial organization of the monster crusade army, the number and combat effectiveness of the army are very strong. There are a large number of veterans here, and under their leadership, the folk martial arts are very strong, even the farmers in the fields can use hoes and pitchforks to perform a few military formation marksmanship, not to mention the orc herdsmen who can be regarded as cavalry by adults, and the war potential is extremely huge.

In the capacity of the governor of Mulandana, it is certainly not a problem to recommend a viscount. It's just that the size of the land is different, and the degree of fertility is different.

The question is, do you want to be this viscount?

The panda hesitated.

He was sure that the Earl was going to recommend himself to be a viscount, and he was definitely not going crazy with too much drinking. The old man's eyes were very calm and sober, and it was obvious that he was only raising the matter through the banquet to avoid his own refusal.

However...... Why would he worry about his refusal?

It doesn't make sense!

Who would refuse to be a viscount?

But the current situation is not a situation that can be thought about slowly, and the panda pondered for a while, and then agreed.

Anyway...... If the governor can still tie him up in the territory?

Receiving his affirmative reply, the Governor laughed and said, "Wonderful! I am much more at ease to have a hero like you as my neighbor." ”

The panda was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to ask, Jaime was already surprised to speak first: "Lord Governor, are you going to arrange Mr. Panda's territory in Mulandana?"

"To be precise, it's the east of Mulandana. "He is an orc, and I don't think he likes farming, so I will arrange for him to have twenty or so tribes, and let him manage them as the chief of these tribes." ”

β€œ...... Will the herders say yes?" one official asked worriedly, "but they hate to be ruled." ”

"They just hate the weak and rule themselves by virtue of blood or wealth as big chiefs. The Governor smiled slightly, and said confidently, "If it were a dragon slaying hero, it would be too late for them to be happy." ”

Everyone thought about it and nodded.

The orc ethos is to worship the strong, and it is indeed not an unacceptable thing for them to make a dragon slayer hero their lord.

Although his descendants may not be able to maintain their rule after Panda's death, this is a problem for his descendants, and it is no one else.

In contrast, it was a lot more reassuring to be able to have such a dragon-slaying hero become one of Mulandana's subordinate lords.

With him in place, Mulandana's crusade would be much more stable, and there would never be the occasional heavy losses in the past.

Even the water dragon let him be killed, what are the other monsters?

Moreover, with the addition of this dragon-slaying hero, those orc tribes who have always looked at Mulanda's unpleasant eyes should also have more respect for Mulanda and make less trouble......

If you think about it, this is really a good and harmless thing!

The panda just laughed and didn't say anything, acting like a martial artist who was overjoyed and a little confused.

After the banquet, he returned to the residence arranged for him by the Patrol Division, and immediately posted the matter in the group chat.

【Panda:...... That's pretty much it, what do you think?]

[Horus: you, Panda, you have earned a territory in a few months?! Is it true that national treasures are so advantageous?]

[Sleepless Night: Very good, it is not a bad thing to have an extra territory.] Like you said, it's a big deal to hang up your crown and leave, can they still want you all over the world?]

[Harmony: But I always think it's a little strange......]

[Anthony: Don't say anything else, since you want to become the lord over there, help me contact a few good men who are good at teaching others to ride horses.] Tara Khan needed to train cavalry. 】

Everyone is talking nonsense, and they generally mean yes.

The benefits of sending to the door, how can there be no reason not to take advantage of it!

Looking at everyone's speeches, the panda nodded slightly.

Suddenly, his heart moved, and he said, "I suddenly had an idea...... You say, 'How about I ask for the territory to be placed near the Wolf's Den Lake?"

[Sleepless Night: Wolf's Den Lake? 】

[Sanyu Wumengsheng: I see! What a good idea!]

[Sleepless Night: ...... Oh, that's a great idea!]

[Anka: What are you talking about?

[Panda: There are a lot of monsters in the Wolf's Den Lake, and there are also fish-man tribes in the lake. Aren't you worried that there aren't enough monsters to kill, as long as you build a teleportation array in my territory, everyone will have a stable leveling point from now on, and maybe you can brush some high-end goods such as water dragons!]

After a while, there was jubilation in the chat channel, and many people who usually didn't speak much jumped out and expressed their support.
