Chapter 220: Ryan's Coronation, II
The arrival of Duke Connaught has quietly changed the viscountdom, and some marquises, earls, and viscounts, who still have a wait-and-see attitude, have begun to take the initiative to show favor to Lane.
You must know that Duke Connaught is the only duke in the entire Sun Empire except for the twelve golden nobles.
Being able to earn the title of Duke and own his own domain, Duke Connaught's status is definitely one of the best in the Solar Empire.
If Viscount Ryan is an outlier in the Empire, he can use the title of Viscount to obtain a territory almost equal to that of a duke.
Then Duke Connaught is the most orthodox imperial nobleman, with a territory and strength that matches the title.
Even the twelve golden nobles, in front of Duke Connaught, are just equals.
Not to mention the other marquises, counts, and viscounts of the Empire, they were completely worthless in front of Duke Connaught.
The most powerful thing about Duke Connaught is also that in his domain, he has absolute autonomy.
In other words, with the exception of the Twelve Gold Nobles and Viscount Lane, Duke Connaught is a person who truly has the autonomy of the territory.
Naturally, Duke Connaught is also a strong soldier in his hands, and he is definitely not inferior to any of the twelve golden nobles in terms of troops.
Over the years, in the entire Sun Empire, because Viscount Ryan was too dazzling, everyone's eyes were on Viscount Ryan.
But everyone overlooked the Duke of Connaught, the same staunch industrialist as Viscount Lane.
In the territory of the Duke of Connaught, factories could be opened openly, and there were special technical schools to teach workers.
The most important thing is that Duke Connaught owns several magic and magic workshops of his own, and with the production of the factory, he can be completely self-sufficient.
This time, Duke Connaught came in person, with only five hundred guards with him, but the equipment of five hundred people was the best.
From the territory of Duke Connaught, to the Viscount of Lane, you need to travel through most of the Sun Empire, including the territories of several knights in the camp of the twelve golden nobles.
Now that the entire Sun Empire is in turmoil again, the rebellions of the subhuman race can be seen everywhere.
Even so, Duke Connaught made it to the scene, and it looked like his five-hundred-man guard was barely damaged.
With such strength, it is natural to become the focus, and those marquises, earls, and viscounts who came to congratulate him did not dare to provoke at all.
Led into the Steel City by Ryan, he enters the City Hall building directly and stays in the palatial rooms of the City Hall.
As soon as Connaught walked into the room, he immediately asked Ryan, "I heard that you have a child from the Dragon Kingdom here, I wonder if I can see him?"
Ryan and Catherine looked at each other, and Ryan spoke, "Teacher, I'm afraid you won't see him now." ”
Duke Connaught was suddenly a little puzzled: "Oh? It seems that you don't have a good relationship with him?"
Ryan was a little helpless, but he still told Duke Connaught everything that had happened.
After all, Duke Connaught is his teacher, and in the most difficult time, if it weren't for Duke Connaught's mediation, I'm afraid the entire viscount would not be able to keep it.
So in front of Duke Connaught, Ryan is like a child, completely treating the other party as his elder.
After listening to Ryan's account, Duke Connaught whispered solemnly: "I really didn't expect that the kid from the Dragon Kingdom could actually get a dragon, which really surprised me." ”
After sighing, he raised his head again and said, "It seems that the kid from the Dragon Kingdom does have some ability. ”
Catherine was a little unconvinced and said, "What are you capable of, you just rely on the favor of our aunt." ”
Duke Connaught suddenly smiled and said, "Catherine, you are still like this, you are always so harsh to others, no wonder you haven't married yet." ”
Catherine's cheeks immediately turned crimson when she said this, and she said coquettishly: "Oh, Uncle Connaught, why are you like this." ”
Duke Connaught smiled and said, "Hahaha, okay, okay, let's not talk about it, let's go back to that kid in the dragon country." ”
"Actually, I think that people from the Dragon Kingdom will naturally have their pride, and the way you deal with it is actually problematic. ”
"Don't say anything, because Shanna is favored, being able to be favored by Shanna is enough to show his strength. ”
Ryan nodded and said, "But teacher, that kid is unruly, sooner or later it will be a disaster, I regret it now, I should have gotten rid of him first, but now it has become a big trouble for me." ”
Catherine also spoke, "Yes, now he has established a base at sea and recruited a large number of sub-races to join his camp. ”
"The most infuriating thing is that he put Augustus's gang around us and established the power of the populace to divide us. ”
Hearing this, Duke Connaught groaned: "In this way, it seems that the kid from the Dragon Kingdom is indeed very smart, and I want to see it even more." ”
After thinking for a moment, Duke Connaught said, "Well, Ryan, you have made an invitation to come and watch your coronation." ”
"What?" the two siblings exclaimed in surprise, and both looked at Duke Connaught with some incredulity.
Catherine then asked, "Why?"
Duke Connaught's expression became solemn, and he said very seriously: "In the current situation, we need more friends than enemies. ”
Hearing this, Ryan stopped his sister and asked with some puzzlement, "Teacher, is the situation very dangerous now?"
Duke Connaught sighed, "Yes, I have been attacked hundreds of times on my way here. ”
"Hundreds of attacks?" the siblings were shocked again.
But this time, Ryan quickly calmed down and analyzed himself: "It seems that the subhuman race is here for real this time. ”
Duke Connaught continued: "Yes, now the power of the subhuman race has grown, especially the group of guys in the Misty Forest, who are about to hit the imperial capital. ”
"In addition, there are the dragons and barbarians of the northern ice fields, who are also heading south, and you will be attacked soon. ”
After a pause, Duke Connaught said very seriously: "So at such a time, we must try to unite the forces that can be united. ”
Catherine was still a little unwilling to say, "However, that kid from the Dragon Kingdom is also an outsider to us. ”
Duke Connaught smiled and said, "Yes, he is indeed an outsider, but he is at least a human race, do you want to let the subhuman race rule us? ”
Listening to Duke Connaught's words, Ryan and Catherine fell into deep thought, and after a while, Ryan said, "Okay, just give him the next invitation according to what the teacher said." ”
