Chapter Eighty-Nine: Hero's Blood
Six days later, the central provincial border.
The rushing river rushes down from the Great Falls, in the Dense Fog Mountains, and smashes into the deep pool, splashing in all directions, forming a spacious river at the foot of the mountain, which continues to flow westward, through the four central counties, and finally connects the Insel River in the western Great Plains, forming a branch of the Insel River trade route connecting the western part of the kingdom with the Duchy of Northern Lion.
At this time, a team of mercenaries dressed in various colors of cloth armor was riding close to the Valan River.
The leading soldier at the front is surprisingly strong.
With a height of more than two and a half meters, and with the mighty Warcraft War Horse under him, he resembles the giant pioneer who came out of the myth.
In the carriage they protected in the center, Ronan was learning about the situation in Triumph City through Ederson.
Now, with the help of the Duke of the Lion and the House of Orange, Edson has succeeded in ascending the throne as the new king of the Ordovician Kingdom.
And the original festival of the gods was changed to the enthronement ceremony of the new king.
Amid the cheers of countless Triumphant City citizens and outsiders, the scepter was held high in the Triumphant Grand Square.
The Protestant faction, headed by Archbishop Holy Water, was also prepared.
Many bishops had already arrived from the Sanctuary and rushed to Triumph City to deliver the blessings of the Church to the new king.
With the help of the church's faith authority among ordinary people, it gave Edson's enthronement a nominal legitimacy.
In the eyes of ordinary people who don't know the truth, this new king can be described as powerful.
The bishops of the Church came from afar to present the scepter and crown to him.
Duke Fury, who had ignored the kingdom in the past, personally put on a robe for him, greatly satisfying the pride of the kingdom's center.
The merchants of the Dantuma Alliance are holding a ten-day celebration procession for the city of Triumph, and a variety of rich food is provided to passers-by for free.
And the upper nobles of the Central Palace also greeted the new king with respect and welcome him at the enthronement ceremony.
It's a pity that these are all plays.
After returning to the court, the royal guard was being dismantled, and the top echelons of the city defense army were replaced in large numbers.
Edson was even more busy facing the quarrel between the nobles of the New Alliance and the pro-royal party.
One of the most acute problems in the court today is.
The fiefs that were sold in large quantities due to the Black Death before, do the deeds signed at the beginning still count?
The large number of fiefs was bought mainly by the children of the pro-royal nobility, and the legitimacy of the contract was protected by the emperor and the fundamentalist faction.
But now that the new king has ascended the throne, the Protestant church has entered the Triumph City.
The condition of the Black Death gradually receded.
Many of the middle and middle nobles in the new alliance were the same people who had lost their fiefs and demanded that their fiefs be redeemed at the original price.
The merchant group of the Dantuma Alliance hoped to achieve a class leap, believing that the former contract was completely fraudulent and forcible and demanded a new auction.
The former pro-royal aristocrats ignored them, and simply gave Edson a signal.
None of the great nobles went to Triumph to meet the new king.
Just let the heirs of the family or important people convey their intentions in the court.
If the former contract is nullified, they will start a war and tear the kingdom apart!
And they do have it.
The vast western and southern plains were the largest producers of food in the empire, accounting for more than seventy percent of the kingdom's population.
Even after the Black Death, which killed and injured tens of millions of people, there were still nearly 50 million people.
Leave aside the response speed of the vassals, the combat qualities of the soldiers, and so on.
Judging by the data on paper alone, at least more than 400,000 troops and more than 5,000 knights can be put together here.
Affected by the Black Death, the knights of the great nobles had to go to the towns and villages in the Great Plains to suppress the chaos, resulting in a serious dispersion of power.
This gave the knights of the Duke of Angry Lion an opportunity to wreak havoc on the border territory.
Now that the condition has begun to stabilize, the armies of these great nobles are no longer pinned.
If you really choose to rebel, cut off the food export, and hold up the righteousness of crusading against Edson, the king of murder.
The entire empire will be regressed to the time of the strife of the nations three hundred years ago.
As a result, Edson ultimately chose to sacrifice the interests of the minor nobles of the New Alliance and the merchants of the Dantuma Alliance.
Agreed to the legitimacy of the contract for the sale of the territory, and tried various measures to win over these former pro-royal nobles in an attempt to balance the situation in Triumph City.
To be honest, Ronan is not very optimistic about him, and at the moment, the mood on both sides is very bad.
Not only did they give money and resources, but they also spent various channels, and the merchants and petty nobles who worked hard to pave the way for the new king finally found themselves kicked away.
The former pro-royal nobles saw him as a traitor, and as one of the leaders of the royal guard, a member of the Ortausian family, he turned to the new alliance and ascended to the throne by killing his relatives.
Ronan could only say that he couldn't help it.
Hold on brother, I support you spiritually!
Ronan encouraged Edson in his heart, and just wanted to get back to his own cold wind collar as soon as possible.
After all, the kingdom is really in chaos, and there is Count Drake from the northern provinces in front of him, and it will not affect him for the time being.
In addition to the situation in the kingdom, there was another thing that caught his attention.
'The blood of heroes, the bloodline gift inherited by the seven heroes of the continent before the establishment of the empire? ’
Ronan thought to himself that, just like the Heresy Order, the blood of the great nobles of the empire also had a magical trajectory called Gift.
It's just that before, the spirituality that can activate the trajectory of magic was suppressed by the emperor, and all of them were absorbed as royal spirituality for the construction of the kingdom of God.
But now it's different, and with the success of the new alliance's rebellion, the kingdom of God is disconnected from reality.
As a result, the spirit is no longer harvested, and the blood of heroes is revived again among the descendants of the nobility.
To put it simply, people with heroic bloodlines can now awaken exclusive spells and cast talents.
As a member of the royal family, one of the purest heroic bloodline inheritors.
Ronan could naturally feel that the trajectory of the magic in his bloodline was about to move.
was just suppressed by him with his own spirituality, and he didn't choose to awaken.
This innate ability is too unstable, and it will transform his bloodline and body, which is beyond his consideration.
However, Ronan knows very well that for now, there are probably no longer a few Hero Blood Awakened in the Empire.
Over the past three hundred years, the marriages of the major nobles have spread the royal blood and the bloodlines of other dukes, especially a large number of illegitimate descendants, all over the place.
In addition to today's aristocracy, the descendants of many declining families also have the possibility of awakening.
And this also means that another kind of chaos is about to erupt.
The kingdom's vast population was largely based on the power of the knights.
The training of knights takes decades and a lot of food.
Therefore, only the fiefdom lord family has the time and resources to support these big stomach kings.
But now the appearance of the hero's blood means the birth of another supernatural power, and it starts with the first order.
The special spell ability is far from being comparable to that of a simple knight.
