Why didn't Wren accept the return of that fiefdom?

There was also a reason for this, and it was also the answer he couldn't ask for after a moment of precise thinking in his mind. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A fief is indeed a good thing, if he has this fief, Wren can at least form a full army, plus some scattered armed forces, he can at least maintain a military size of about 50,000 or so. Fifty thousand people may not be much to enlarge into the entire world, but within the Orlando Empire, this is definitely not a force to be taken lightly. The entire Orlando Empire had about 2,000 nobles, and about 30 percent of these nobles had their own fiefdoms, that is, about 600 families.

Some of them had barren fiefdoms, birds did not lay eggs, and could only sustain an army of about a thousand men. There are also some fiefs that are very wealthy, and it is normal to have three or five thousand. Big nobles like the golden nobles and marquises, it is not a problem to have an army of twenty or thirty thousand at home. Arch Joan of Arc, disliked by Empress Pars, had an army of at least 60,000 men under her command. Although she said that it was a rumor, and that she only had an armed force of 20,000 men, no one believed it.

The total number of troops currently in the entire empire is about two and a half million to three million, and if Wren accepts Vito's price and forms a full legion, he will occupy between one and two percent of the country's military strength, which is definitely not a small number!

But he refused.

This fief is indeed very tempting and good, but it will also crucify people to this fiefdom. If something happens in the future, it would be better for Wren to lead the army or not to lead the army.

led his troops out to the battle, and the opponent avoided his edge and attacked his fiefdom. Once the fiefdom falls, the front army will inevitably fluctuate. There was no need for the enemy to do anything, as long as spreading the false news that they were massacring in Wren's fiefdom was enough to demoralize Wren's army, and even a large number of deserters appeared. At that time, he wanted to save, and he didn't have the strength to do so.

If you can't lead troops to the battle, then what's the point of having such a large fief? Sitting back and watching the best cake be taken away by others, you can only lick the plate, and you may lose much more than the benefits brought by getting this fiefdom.

Coupled with the fact that Empress Pars has already vaguely made small moves, such as urging the construction of railways and the renovation of roads between cities, Wren already knows that war is not far away. At this time, accepting this fief is tantamount to tying yourself to death, but it is better to withdraw. As long as his status in the province of Bell does not decline, the entire province of Bell is his fiefdom, a "Jedi" backed by the Byron Empire and impoverished on three sides.

You can attack, you can retreat, and you won't be in the embarrassing situation of being surrounded by enemies on all sides when the war just breaks out.

So why is he going to give himself trouble?

So he refused Vito's request, and instead asked for the distribution of the Tiberium Crystal, after all, he still had a way - the Central Empire.

Judging from the appraiser's excited expression, the Tiberium hedron was most likely a necessary material for the powerful magicians of the Central Empire. What trade is the most profitable? The monopolies of Ortrenburg will tell you, monopoly.

Wren has a monopoly on a world as the source of his own goods, and as long as the mages of the Central Empire want Tiberium Crystal, they have to accept any price he offers, no matter how high it is, they will pinch their noses and admit it. Who made this thing come from another world?

With the wealth, technology, and materials of another world as the backing, there is no need for Wren to use a piece of the land of the four wars as his fiefdom, and he can completely get rid of the problem of "output".

In an instant, twenty or thirty seconds at most, all this flashed through Wren's head, urging him to make such a decision.

Vito was clearly relieved that it was best and best to get a deal done, and he really didn't want to go toe-to-toe with Wren at this time. He stood up with a smile on his face, breathed a sigh of relief, and stretched out his hand, "Thank you for your understanding, I hope that after this incident, we can discover the same things from each other and become each other's friends." ”

Wren also stood up, clasping Vito's hand tightly, "That's what I thought, too. ”

Empress Pars was overjoyed to learn that the two sides had reconciled, and that the situation was very different from that of Orlando VI. Not only has the political ecology undergone tremendous changes, but also all aspects of the entire society are constantly changing. With the further expansion of the power of the royal family, the power of the nobility began to shrink, and the contradictions that were originally whitewashed under the prosperity began to intensify and become acute.

In the past, the aristocratic group was only a group to fight against the royal family politically, but now they have made a blood alliance, obviously no longer satisfied with playing tricks, but want to compete with real knives and guns. The more this time comes, the more important it is to be able to unite forces. The seven golden nobles, each family has a deep heritage, which cannot be underestimated. Even Wren, who had to leave Ortrenburg after falling to Bad Mold, firmly controlled the military and political power of the entire Bell.

Therefore, Vito can resolve the hatred with Wren and reach a reconciliation, which is what Queen Pars wants to see the most now.

The three of them had a quick meal together in the palace, after which Vito left in a hurry, he needed to prepare some paperwork and inform the place to transfer power to Wren. Empress Pars didn't keep him either, and the sooner she stuffed things to Wren, the sooner she put everyone at ease.

"I saw Wade when I came. A walk after dinner is a favorite way for the nobles to eat, there is no strenuous exercise that makes people look embarrassed, and there is no fancy game that is too casual. "I don't see him very much now. ”

Empress Pars pouted, she did love Wade very much, but everyone's aesthetic is constantly changing. In the past, Empress Pars always wanted to imagine herself as a decisive emperor like Orlando I and II, and masculinize herself, so she had a preference for Wade, who was a girl, and she could find that feeling of belonging to a man from him.

If you eat too much sugar, you will get tired, let alone a woman chirping and chattering man. Compared to Wade, Empress Pars's aesthetic is going from one extreme to another, and of course, this extreme is currently known only to Wren.

"That guy is an eyesore. I never thought a man's heart could be so small!"

Just like the imperial princess will often do some dirty things in order to fix her pet, Wade will often do some dirty things in order to fix her pet. In fact, this can't be completely blamed on Wade, after all, the title of Prince of the Empire is too tempting for an ordinary person like Wade with no identity background. In order to obtain this title, he even did not hesitate to secretly persecute some people who might threaten him.

But he never thought that the emperor's marriage was definitely not something that the emperor could control. Like the heirs of aristocratic families who have reached marriageable age, they are no longer "family members", but a bargaining chip, a commodity with a clear price. Even if Empress Pars wants to get married, it is absolutely impossible to be Wade, just like Wren intends to sell herself for a good price, and Queen Pars intends to sell herself for a good price.

Empress Pars tilted her head to look at Wren, "Why do you suddenly want to ask about this person?"

"The last time I pumped him, he made me nasty, find a chance to make him disappear, lest I get suspicious. ”

Empress Pars thought for a moment and nodded, "No problem, you won't see him again next time." ”

Compared to a small pet like Wade, who has fallen out of favor, Wren is obviously more important. Whether it's a sexual partner or the power that Wren enjoys in the empire, he can decide the life and death of a small person like Wade anytime and anywhere. At this time, no one said anything about the fairness and justice of the law, and no one discussed the power that life should gain after this world, and a life was doomed under the meaningless effect of not liking.

"Speaking of which, I'm not too young to get married. Empress Pars suddenly sighed, she looked at Wren with resentment in her eyes, "Don't you really want to change a prince to be a pawn?"

Imperial titles from the marquis to the duke, the grand duke, the prince. The duke and the grand duke are not the same class, the title of the grand duke is higher than that of the duke, and when you reach the title of grand duke, you can have your own fiefdom, and all etiquette is two levels lower than the royal family. The Grand Duke could have his own courtiers, his own courtiers, and even his own laws and charters. And the prince up is a false title.

This title is often prepared for the nobles who enter the royal family, which not only elevates the status of the nobles, but also solves the problem of the distribution of power after marriage.

But it's a pity that Wren is not here.

Empress Pars, who had not received an answer, smiled, "A letter came from the Archduke of Joan of Arc the other day, and she said a lot of nonsense, but there is one sentence that is very important. She intends to woo the royal family. ”

Wren sighed and nodded, "It's Golia, right?"

"Haha!", Empress Pars laughed loudly, and tears of laughter came out. The laughter gradually subsided until her face became a little cold, "Wrong, it's me!"

She wanted her son to join the royal family, and the bride price was the title of Grand Duke, as well as her fiefdom and allegiance. Empress Pars's eyes flashed with an inexplicable color, "You say, should I agree?"

Wren didn't hesitate at all, "You should agree!"

"Oh?", she said with a special smile, "Are you so sure?", she took Wren's arm, and pressed one hand on Wren's chest, "Then we won't be able to see each other so often, I'm married, I'm a wife!"

Wren laughed twice and .......
