Principality.

This is something peculiar to the kind of country that pursues a feudal system, and it does not exist in the Emerald Empire.

Speaking of which, this kind of aristocracy with both fiefs and titles is the real feudal aristocracy.

The nobility of the Emerald Empire is generally called the magnates. As the name suggests, if you have power, you are a nobleman, and if you hold the power for a long time, you will become a famous family and a princess.

For example, the Brandon family has had the title of duke for almost all generations (the nineteenth Duke of Brandon), and almost all generations have been in charge of the north, but the north is still the land of the empire, and it cannot be called the feudal state of the Brandon family.

The Brandon family became the uncrowned king of the North because of three things.

The first is the family's reputation in the imperial capital, and the official position granted by the empire - the nineteenth-level governor of the northern border, with this official position, he can justifiably control the military and political power in the north.

The second is that the family is prosperous and has great achievements. Able to obtain the supreme title of Duke of the Guardian of the North.

Disputes between the central and local governments exist in every centralized country, and the Emerald Empire is no exception.

Therefore, only the Grand Governor of the Northern Territory with this title can truly resist the interference of the forces from the imperial capital.

The Imperial Chancellor is the pinnacle of the entire bureaucratic system of the Empire, the only twenty-level real power bureaucrat in the Empire, and usually the Imperial Chancellor also has the title of Duke.

In this case, the Grand Governors of the Imperial Frontier must add the title of Guardian Duke of the Frontier in order to rebel against the Prime Minister in the throne.

Because the title of the guardian duke is super class, it is not in the twenty-level system.

The empire does not have a prime minister for long, but the supreme emperor is always there, and only the great governor of the north who has the title of guardian duke can have enough confidence to say the sentence "I am with the emperor".

The third is the high fame accumulated over thousands of years, which in this medieval era was extremely terrifying.

As long as the Brandon family ascends to the north and shouts, countless imperial subjects will compete to echo, and this force is also feared by the central government.

As for those countries with a hereditary system, it is only necessary to have blood ties to maintain their status, and they have adopted a policy of foolishness, which is completely contrary to the empire.

This is the fundamental difference between "divine authority of kings" and "divine authority of monarchy".

"It's said that this Fallen Principality is very powerful?" asked Sagar as he turned to Kashi.

Although Sachar is a reborn, after all, he has not been to the south in his previous life.

In this life, although there are many books about the elven kingdom in the Academy of Santulajan, if you want to get first-hand information from those books that have long been outdated, you will really be blind.

In this ever-changing world, anyone who has always believed in books is really stupid.

For the situation in the entire province of Blago, as well as the situation in the neighboring elven kingdoms. If you want to find someone more familiar, then there must be a Nuchels family among them.

The thousand-year-old land head snake in the province of Blago, hundreds of years of envoys to the elven kingdom, and even has some influence in the elven kingdom, how could such a family not know the situation here.

As the head of the Nuchels family, Jiashi is extremely talented, and has been cultivated by the family as a savior since he was a child, teaching all kinds of knowledge, astronomy, geography, history, and military, not to mention this kind of family heritage, naturally he will not miss it, after all, this is almost one of the capitals of the Nuchels family.

"Yes, Shaojun. Jia Shi nodded, opened his mouth and said, "This Fallen Spirit Principality is one of the top local forces in the entire Elven Kingdom. ”

"Although it is not an orthodox elf race, it has not been given the title of 'elf king', but its strength is not much worse than that of other elf principalities. ”

"The Fallen Soul lineage has not inherited the talent of the elves in magic, but the talent in archery has still inherited some invisibly. Jia Shi said while recalling: "Although the Fallen Spirit Pulse does not have the natural eagle eyes of the elves, it is still an excellent archer after training. And perhaps because of the lack of talent, their bodies are not as slender as those of the elves. This gives them better stamina and more strength. Compared to elves who are not good at fighting for a long time, they are undoubtedly more suitable as warriors. ”

Saga nodded slightly, although the elves are talented, they also have a lot of shortcomings.

In addition to the fertility problem, the physical aspect is also a big problem. In general, they belong to the explosive army, with strong attack power, but stamina is really not good.

"In today's Elven Kingdom legion sequence, every time there is a war, there will inevitably be a Fallen Spirit Principality. After so many years, the Fallen Spirit lineage can be regarded as a great contribution to the Elven Royal Court. ”

Speaking of this, Jia Shi looked at the south and said thoughtfully: "Young Monarch, although the Fallen Spirit Principality is only a principality in terms of name, you also know that this is actually only because of the political system of the Elven Kingdom. In terms of strength alone, compared to the five kingdoms, the Principality of the Fallen Spirits should be able to compare with the combined forces of the five kingdoms. ”

"The Five Kingdoms are combined. The Principality of the Fallen Spirits is indeed a powerful force. Saga couldn't help but sigh with emotion, if the Fallen Spirit Principality really had a strength comparable to the combined strength of the five kingdoms, it would probably have the strength of the Blago Province before it was upgraded.

"I've heard that the mercenaries of the Principality of the Fallen Spirits are very famous. Saga smiled and said, "Guess how sure we are that we will be able to let the Elven Court and the Fallen Spirit Clan lend us this army. ”

Jiashi quickly thought about it and said, "It should be very simple. After all, the Fallen Spirit Clan is not a real elven clansman, and Her Majesty the Elven Queen doesn't care. As long as we ask the ambassador stationed in the elven kingdom to present a valuable gift to the elven queen, we will be able to obtain the queen's consent. ”

"Then it's easy to say on the side of the fallen duke, the current fallen duke is the granddaughter of the contemporary queen, she has no talent, and she doesn't want to endure hardships to practice archery, she is just a nobleman who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it. It's just that the queen loves her very much, so she became the contemporary Grand Duke of the Fallen Spirits, leading the Fallen Spirits clan and the entire Elven Kingdom. For such a gentlemanly nobleman, as long as the envoy brings enough pearls, gold, works of art, and other treasures, and then pays enough employment fees, the custody of the fallen Grand Duke will fully cooperate with our actions. ”
