Chapter II
The reason why Sui Xiong came to Keenling was that he wanted to revisit his old place was one reason, but the more important reason was to help them solve their troubles. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In recent months, Barony Keane has had some very difficult troubles. This trouble was beyond the limits of what they could handle on their own—or rather, beyond what they could solve at a lower cost, so they appealed to the Church of the Void for help.
It is said that this kind of thing, sending a group of elite priests, and finding one or two legendary powerhouses to suppress the formation, will definitely be enough to solve it. But Sui Xiong, who was quietly thinking, had a whimsical idea to come back to this territory that had made him pour so much effort into seeing it with his own eyes, so he didn't tell anyone, and he secretly changed into the appearance of the earth and came here alone.
Sitting in Keane at the moment, his feelings are a little complicated - Crick Keane's life is also a part of his life, and Crick's deep affection for this land and its inhabitants is also inherited by him. Seeing that this city that has been absent for many years is still thriving, and has been walking on the path he set back then, he feels relieved at the same time, but also feels a deep responsibility.
"Perhaps...... I should come back more often than I can over the years......"
Immortals often encounter this kind of problem, because the extreme extension of lifespan and the long cultivation lead to a lack of concept of mortal time - for example, holding a large-scale military exercise in the "shelter", from the decision to do this, to the design and construction of the position, to the planning and preparation of both sides, and then the official start of the war, plus the summary after the war, it is normal to spend two or three years before and after. And all this, for Crick Keane, who is the commander of the Divine Legion, is just a little entertainment in his spare time.
Sui Xiong didn't want to come back to take a look, but in his opinion, this matter is not in a hurry, with Luo Meng, a legendary powerhouse, Kean Ling can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai. Even if Romon is just the kind of parallel trade legend who breaks through the limit with clerical work, no matter how parallel he is, he is still a legendary powerhouse after all, which is very enough for a mere barony.
It wasn't until not long ago, because Master Dhamwede was a god, and after a detailed discussion between the two sides, that he realized that before he knew it, twenty years had passed quietly, many old friends had passed away, and most of the remaining years were not young. If you don't put it off any longer, maybe you won't be able to see a familiar face when you revisit the old place.
He was immediately impressed, and then after checking, he found that Keenling was currently facing a lot of trouble and needed help.
So he left his clone to sit in the kingdom of God, and his body changed into the appearance of "Sui Xiong" that no one recognized, and quietly came here.
Looking at the familiar but changed streets, he felt a little emotional, although the emotion of the passage of time was not small, but more was pride.
The road he has traveled will leave traces, and in less than ten years, he has left deep traces on this territory. This trace has not only not been diluted by time, but has turned into a riverbed, and it has become more and more profound with the flow of the river of time.
This is like on earth, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in ancient China, although they only had a short time from uprising to defeat and death. However, their cry of "princes and princes will have a kind of peace" has since pointed out the way forward for the Chinese nation, leading generations of people to resist tyranny, change dynasties again and again, and establish a unique "rebel culture" in the world, which will continue to be continued.
In the eyes of many Westerners, the Chinese tradition of not paying attention to noble blood at all, and saying that there is no pressure to say that they are scared, is really barbaric. However, in the eyes of the Chinese, those who are so bullied that they can't live happily and don't resist are simply disgraced by human faces - what is the difference between this special and dogs!
All of this really came from that shout......
Crick Keane's actions are certainly not as great as Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's, but even with the Northwest Republic established by the Void Mask in front of him, Keane Territory has become a striking place - compared to the wonderful country that is located in the remote area and has gods in charge, this territory located in the densely populated area of the Principality of Thunder has changed little by little under people's attention, and has progressed little by little. Nowadays, the whole process of its progress has been summarized and compiled into a book by those who are interested in it, and almost every nobleman on the mainland who is interested in building prosperity in his own territory puts this booklet, commonly known as the "Keane Treasure Book", on the desk in his study, and often studies and studies, and his dedication is comparable to that of white-collar workers on the earth studying the Carnegie series of books.
In recent years, the impact has been relatively positive. More and more enlightened aristocrats began to identify with, or at least partially agree with, the ideas of governance proposed by Crick, and the living conditions of the people in many places were gradually improving.
However, on the other hand, there were many nobles who were hostile to his set of ideas, and many nobles denounced it as a fallacy and heresy, believing that this set of governance strategies completely violated the fine traditions of the aristocracy, and some people even severely criticized him for betraying his ancestors and forgetting his ancestors, which was tantamount to rebellion.
The former are mainly those emerging aristocrats, who have shallow roots, but as the so-called ship is small and easy to turn around, and as long as they can grow themselves quickly, other things are not worth thinking about. The latter are naturally those old nobles, especially the big nobles, who have deep roots and huge power, and they don't care about this benefit at all, but they are very wary of the growth of new nobles and spare no effort to suppress them.
The difference in governance plans is a good reason for suppression.
It can be seen that there is inevitably a battle over how to govern the territory.
And the most direct impact of this battle is the trouble that Keane is currently facing.
I don't know if it's to suppress the Kean Territory, not long ago, the Thunder Duchy adjusted the fiefdom of the nobles under its command and canonized a new viscount to the vicinity of the Keane Territory. This viscount was originally a baron with no actual fief, and led a group of mercenaries and family private armies to fight swamp populations such as lizardmen in the northwest of the duchy near the swamps.
As far as the fiefdom is concerned, this viscount is actually about the level of a baron. But the military strength under his command is definitely more than this level, and it is even stronger than most viscounts, which can be called a fierce opponent.
Originally, Anna Keane didn't regard this new neighbor as an enemy, but after this guy came to the fiefdom, he kept clashing with Keane, as if he had taken the wrong medicine. She was surprised, and with the help of her husband Stephen Carter's family, she investigated, and learned that this Viscount Thun Samat turned out to be the second son of the Thunder Grand Duke, and the second son of the Grand Duke was the representative of the radical faction of the younger generation of the traditional aristocracy.
In other words, arranging for this Viscount of Samat to come here is actually to deal with Keane Territory.
And this Viscount Samat is indeed very capable, he himself is a high-level order warrior who believes in the god of nobility - a variant of the holy warrior, the requirements for faith are not so strict, and the combat effectiveness is more inclined to group combat, there are at least four high-level adventurers under his command, and two mysterious people from the capital.
Not only that, but he also commanded an army of about 200 people, all of whom had at least five years of training and no less than ten actual combat experiences. There are even some special talents brought from the Swamp...... Because it is well hidden, its identity is not known for the time being.
The most troublesome thing is not these, but one of his special trophies, a magical altar converted from a totem pole from one of the tribes of the Swamp.
The indigenous people of the Swamp generally believe in ancestral spirits, and the totem pole is the place where ancestral spirits lodge. After many years of worship, it is often transcendent, and is almost the highest level of altar material on earth. The totem pole-based altar has incredible power, and with a high-ranking priest sitting on the altar, it can even fight with Mr. Romon.
It is for this reason that Keenling has suffered in several conflicts. Although it was only a small loss, it made everyone very worried. At Mr. Romon's suggestion, they sent a letter of help to the Church of the Void Mask.
The Void Mask Church sent more than 20 church knights led by the "Iron Giant" Gerald, this group of knights is powerful, and the leader Gerald has a green dragon as a mount, which stabilized the situation as soon as he came.
However, with such strength, it is not difficult to defeat Viscount Zamat, but it is not enough to truly solve the problems faced by Keane.
And Sui Xiong himself is here to help them solve the problem completely...... (To be continued.) )
