Legendary magicians have a variety of resurrection methods, the first of which is the Seven Rings Magic Resurrection. But to use this spell to resurrect, the corpse must be intact and the soul must be attached to the corpse.

Duke Breena killed Elena, and of course the Grant family would burn Elena's body to prevent the Venus family from using the resurrection technique to resurrect Elena.

Even Yelena's soul was disrupted by Duke Breener's powerful sword intent.

The Legendary Mage also has a Legendary Magical Soul Parasitism, where half of the soul is pinned on a piece of magical equipment.

However, this spell has a lot of weaknesses, it will lose half of its soul and memory, and it is quite troublesome for mages who use this spell to resurrect it.

Elena also has another clever means of resurrection, as she once obtained a page of the Book of Artifact Contracts, which she used to sign a life-sharing contract with a legendary lich.

Her soul state is very special, and she shares her soul and memories with the legendary lich through the Book of Contracts. If the Lich hadn't been killed, Elena wouldn't have died. Her soul will reunite in the Necromantic Realm and enter the Dawn Plane through a hidden dimensional passage.

Elena manipulated the flesh of many young members of the Venus family, using some talented young members of the Venus family as props for resurrection.

As long as Yelena's soul is immortal, she will be able to take away the young members of the Venus family.

The Venus family has been inherited for more than a thousand years, and the population with this family lineage is no less than hundreds of thousands, scattered in different countries, and it is impossible to kill them all.

Unless the Legendary Lich can be killed along with Yelena, the Life-Sharing Contract can be broken.

Although it can be reborn, after the death of the body, it will seriously consume soul energy. The legendary lich who shares his life with Elena cannot use the power of magic to fight for three years.

If Elena wants to restore the power of the legendary magician, it will take at least twenty years to gather mana.

After Elena was resurrected in the body of a young girl, she immediately informed the other important members of the family, and all the heavyweight members of the Venus family knew about the means of Elena's resurrection.

Over the years, the Venus family has developed rapidly and gradually prospered, and can make waves in the kingdom of Grant, relying entirely on the legendary magician Yelena.

Without Yelena behind them, the Venus family's current strength is slightly stronger than that of the four marquis of the east, and it is not as strong as the weakest Duke of Guise.

Yelena's safety is the most important thing for the Venus family. After receiving Yelena's information, the Venus family immediately sent high-level professionals to protect her, and hid in a secret stronghold.

The Venus family had been in business for a thousand years, and only a few high-ranking members knew the location of the secret stronghold.

There is a mage tower in the stronghold, and a medium-distance teleportation array has been built, which can teleport to a distance of 300 kilometers, even if it is discovered by others, there is enough time to escape, unless it is ambushed by a legendary mage, hiding in this secret stronghold, and Elena can be safed in any situation.

Charlemagne, Anthony, and Harden immediately showed disbelief on their faces when they received the news of Elena's defeat. They never expected the Duke of Breenne to come to this hand.

The Venus family's more than 100 years of dormancy, the great power they have accumulated, will be destroyed today.

In particular, the Wild Lions Legion commanded by Charlemagne was originally the regular army of the Grant royal family. Charlemagne relied on coercion and lure to deceive and deceive the central army to follow south to participate in the war.

Once the news leaked, Charlemagne couldn't control the Lions 100%.

Anthony and Harden are slightly better, although the family members don't know the details, but they have the blood of the Venus family, and they don't have a choice at all.

Can they still be counted on the Grant family to forgive them?

Taking advantage of the fact that the news did not spread, the three held an emergency meeting.

Charlemagne raised his head anxiously, paced back and forth, and said, "Hurry up and make a decision, once the news leaks, we'll be finished." ”

Viscount Anthony said: "In this situation, the most important thing is to be decisive, the cause of Gascoigne Province was immediately abandoned, and the three of us hid with our respective family members, cultivated the next generation of members, and continued to wait for the opportunity." ”

"That's the only way, first to avoid the limelight, avoid this time, and continue to contact after two years. The point of contact is at Secret Intelligence Station 3. ”

Protected by legendary magicians, the Venus family has developed very well in recent years, not only secretly controlling the province of Gascoigne, but also influencing the two counts in the south. It also has hidden power in other provinces of the Grant Kingdom, and its influence has even extended to neighboring countries such as the Grand Duchy of Starnik and the Rhine Kingdom.

In both countries, there are figures similar to Baron Harden. There are hereditary nobles who have not yet been exposed to secretly shelter, which is enough for Baron Harden, Viscount Anthony, Charlemagne and others to hide for a while.

After the three of them discussed, they immediately fled with the family members.

The leader ran and was discovered by the upper echelons of the coalition forces the next day. Although they had not yet received a battle report from the front, these high-ranking officers immediately had a feeling that something was wrong.

After urgent deliberation, they decided to take control of the army and surrender to the Duke of York.

The rebels in the south were completely annihilated, and the rebels in the north surrendered.

Just entering February, the Grant royal family put down the rebellion.

The Duke of York led a large army into the royal capital of Nolan.

Seeing King Charles, the Duke of York waved his hand arrogantly and said, "Press down!" ”

"I am the patriarch of House Grant and your king. You once swore allegiance to me, and you can't do that to me. ”

King Charles waved his arms vigorously and pushed the two officers away.

The Duke of York raised his spear and struck King Charles hard.

The Duke of York is a ninth-order knight, and King Charlie's strength is a little worse, just a sixth-order knight.

There was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and the Duke of York actually broke King Charles's arm with a single blow.

"Charlie, I advise you not to ask for hardship and press down."

Soon after the Duke of York was stationed in Nolan, the senior members of the Mage's Guild returned to the Dawn Plane.

At the beginning of March, Duke Roger of the Southern Expedition left Steven Grant to sit in the three southern provinces and serve as the governor of the three southern provinces, with full authority to manage the military and political power of the territory of the three southern provinces, and he returned to the capital Nolan with his own soldiers.

Steven Grant is a distant branch of the Grant family.

The Grant family has been on the throne for 600 years, and the population with the blood of the Grant family exceeds one million.

These descendants of the Grant family, if they are not capable, will have a social status like ordinary people in a few generations.

But the capable Grant family is far away, and the royal family will also invest resources to support it.

Steven Grant is such a character, from a humble background but awakened bloodline, and his strength is even stronger than that of Duke Roger.

After the death of Duke Burner, the Grant family had five ninth-order professionals, Steven was one of them, and the remaining four were Philip, Pansy, York, and Roger.

The five ninth-order professionals are all important figures in the Grant Kingdom.

Steven was the governor of the three provinces, holding the military and political power of the three southern provinces, and was also a court earl, an important officer in the Praetorian Guard system.

Duke Brehner faked his death, and the only people who knew the inside story were Pansy and Steven, two family members. Even York and Roger were kept in the dark, and they learned the detailed plan only after they arrived near Nolan.

Pansy is the president of the Mage Guild and wields the most powerful mage power in the Kingdom of Grant.

York and Roger are both hereditary nobles, and they all have elite soldiers under their commands, and Roger will take over as king and will soon take over the power of the Grant Kingdom.

As a young man, Philip was forced by the Duke of Breener to abdicate the throne and enter the convent of the Church of Dawn.

In the Dawn Church Monastery, Philip has been unreservedly cultivated by the church, and is now a ninth-order priest and an eighth-order golden knight, and his combat power is stronger than that of Pansy, the nine-ring magician.

Now Philip is already the high priest of the Dawn Church in the Kingdom of Grant, second only to Archbishop Senna.

But because of the past, Philip is no longer particularly concerned about the affairs of the Grant family, and he is now most concerned about the development of the Dawn Church. After all, if a pastor wants to advance, he must be close to God and stick to the creed of the church.

Even though Philip is already an important figure in the church, in the face of the Venus family in collusion with the evil gods, Philip will definitely fight.

The five members of the Grant family join forces, even if Elena is in her prime, she can fight the legendary magician.

When Roger returned to the royal capital, he succeeded Charles as king, as he was the first in line of succession.

As for King Charles, his eyes gouged out and he was rushed to the monastery.

Originally, Roger had to put King Charles to death, but both Philip and Pansy objected, and the Duke of York abstained from voting on the issue.

Although King Charles survived, Prince Felix died in the war.

As for how he died, no one has been held accountable at all.

Her mother, Mrs. Holland, was also carried away by a junior officer during the war and became the officer's prisoner.

News of the overthrow of King Charles' reign reached Black River Fort in late February.

After receiving the news that the Duke of York had led his troops into Nolan, Richard and William finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This time the Haaland family has become the victors, and there is no need to worry about being liquidated.

Richard reacted quickly, and after consulting with William, he immediately led his troops out of Blackriver Fort and turned west to attack Barony Harden's domain.

Baron Harden headed south with the main force, and his territory had a population of 30,000.

Baron Leon, the eldest son of Baron Harden, also has 8,000 people inside.

Now the hereditary nobles of Gascoigne Province who participated in the rebellion will be liquidated, and these realms will be reduced to fat.

In this case, it has always been a fast hand and a slow hand. If you grab it slowly, you will lose the opportunity for rapid development.

Richard's reaction was very fast, and the strength of Haaland's territory was very strong, and now the military strength has surpassed that of Viscount Rohm, and he is the strongest nobleman in Geda Province, he has his eyes on the Barony of Harden, and other nobles do not dare to grab food and compete with Richard. lest he be picked up by the way and charged with a crime of disrupting the party.

Now this situation is in a state of chaos for the time being, and no one can control the attacks among the nobles. The fist is big and powerful, and the voice that speaks is of course much louder.

Now that the counterinsurgency war has come to an end, the remnants of the Venus family have gone underground.

Although there are still some soldiers in the Barony of Harden, they are now afraid of being relegated to a separate register and become a fellow party of the Venus family.

When it comes to the battle for the throne, the nobles are very cruel. For ordinary people who don't have a backstage, they often go big.

In the face of the encirclement and suppression of Richard's army, the defenders of Barony Harden surrendered almost immediately and handed over the territory to Richard completely.

The war is over, and rewards and punishments have become the mainstream.

The Haaland family is on the side of the victor this time, and naturally they are not afraid to hold them accountable.

In this counterinsurgency war, although the Haaland family did not participate in the war and did not shed blood, it played a very crucial role.

It was precisely because of Richard and William that they restrained the Northern Legion and did not let the Northern Legion support King Charles and fight south.

Because of the deep involvement of the Lions in the rebellion, although most of the ordinary soldiers and junior officers were pardoned, the high-ranking officers were punished.

Those who commit minor crimes will be dismissed from office, and those who commit serious crimes will be tried by law.

The nobles of the province of Gascoigne were also severely reprimanded for participating in the noble coalition organized by the Venus family.

Viscount Cisse, the enemy of Haaland's territory, failed to stand on the side this time and also caused trouble. Not only was half of the territory ceded by the royal family, but the title was also demoted to baron.

The nobles of the province of Gascoin were almost always deceived, and the vast majority of the hereditary nobles sent one or two squadrons to join the noble coalition with the main stream, so there was no big trouble.

Even so, the provincial nobility of Gascoigne was labeled untrustworthy by the Grant royal family.

Captain Zachary of the Northern Legion has failed politically and has been deposed by King Roger. However, he made outstanding achievements in battle, did not cause much harm, and barely escaped.

Although the family territory is kept, it is necessary to draw a thousand men to join the army of the redeemers.

The Ransom Legion is Duke Roger's new legion, which is mainly funded by the nobles who failed to stand on the side this time. In addition to the nobles of the provinces of Gascoin and Lach, the rebellious barons of the three southern provinces had to pay for them.

There were three ransom legions, and the annual salaries were all borne by the nobles.

If there is a loss, it is also up to the nobles to make up for it.

These three ransom legions were assigned to the Northern Xinjiang Province, and the command was under the control of the Central Legion.

Because of their strong military strength, the three provinces of northern Xinjiang have stationed the main army of the central government. Therefore, King Charles attached great importance to the three northern provinces, and dispatched elite soldiers loyal to him to control the three northern provinces.

This time, King Charles was ousted, and almost all the senior officials in the three provinces of northern Xinjiang were replaced.

Richard's old acquaintance, Idles, was successfully promoted to the position of consul of Geda Province.

The reason why Adelais, who has no backing, can be promoted, first of all, is because he stands in the right line. He was a rising official in County Brainer and had access to the Duke of York.

The second is also because the new king Roger has no official lineage, so he can only promote more senior magistrates to maintain the situation for the time being.

Immediately after this rebellion, the situation of the Haaland family changed very well.

The enemies of the royal capital were ousted due to the defeat of the political struggle, and Richard also had a slight relationship with Duke Roger.

The most important thing is that Richard made a fortune in the war, and Baron Harden's years of accumulation all fell into Richard's pocket.

The Barony of Harden is very strong, and the reserves of supplies are piling up.

Richard drew manpower from the territory, and even had the students of Riverbank Elementary School participate in the count, and it took several days to count Baron Harden's supplies.

There were twelve chests of gold coins, each containing 1,200 gold coins, for a total of 14,400.

Twenty chests of silver coins, adding up to two thousand gold coins.

There were sixty boxes of copper coins, each of which contained six thousand copper coins, adding up to one thousand gold coins.

In the coins alone, Richard made 17,400 gold coins.

In addition to the gold coins, there were also a large number of cloth, livestock, salt, spices, and grain, which added up to a mountain of gold coins, and the amount of gold coins was very considerable, roughly estimated at no less than 30,000.

In addition, Baron Harden also has a lot of military supplies in reserve, including 300 war horses, 500 iron armor, 600 bows and arrows, including spears and swords, enough to arm a thousand foot riders.

In addition, a batch of enchanted weapons were found from the treasury, including thirty pairs of enchanted armor, fifty enchanted swords, and twenty enchanted bows and crossbows.

This batch of equipment is also cheaper than Richard.

Baron Harden kept a group of iron wildebeest in his domain, with a total of six second-order stallions, thirteen mares, and nine ponies, all of which belonged to Richard.

Taken together, the value of these materials is not less than 100,000 gold coins.

The charm of war money is so great that it makes people rich overnight and bankrupt overnight.

Taking advantage of the chaotic situation, Richard plundered a large number of people in Barony Harden's territory and migrated to Haraland's territory.

Forced to leave their homes, the people of Barony Harden dared not speak out.

But people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. The temper is hard, and it is impossible to be hard than the sword.

Under the pressure of the sword, the people of the Barony of Harden finally left their homes.

This time, the number of people who migrated from Barony Harden exceeded 34,000.

With this group of people, the population of Haaland's territory will exceed 100,000.

The population increased, with Baron Harden's funding, and there was no shortage of weapons and equipment, and Richard immediately formed five new infantry squadrons, one scout squadron, and expanded the army by 1,000.

After the end of the counterinsurgency war, more than a dozen hereditary nobles, large and small, were dismissed, including three hereditary earls in the south.

The civil war in the Kingdom of Grant led to a change in the political situation.

The last time the political situation changed was more than 100 years ago. The Duke of Brenner defeated the orcs, and the Kingdom of Grant established three provinces in one fell swoop and rewarded four dukes.

The territory of the nobles who lost their lords needs to be redivided.

When it comes to the division of territories, the situation becomes complicated, and the pros and cons need to be weighed and the interests of all parties need to be taken into account.

The royal family of Grant received the fattest piece of meat, and the territories of the three southern earls were swallowed by the royal family and became three provinces.

The harvest of the Duke of Jonathan was also very large, swallowing the Count of Roger.

Roger became a king, and it was impossible for him to be stationed on the front line in the northern frontier, and his son was too young to be able to hold the territory.

Now it was time to reward Duke Jonathan for his exploits, so Roger, after consulting with the important people of the Grant family, decided to divide the territory to Duke Jonathan.

Duke Jonathan ate Roger's Earl, and the Duke of York, who also made great contributions, was slightly more difficult to reward.

Although the province of Gascoigne had a large territory, the Duke of York was reluctant to put his forces on the front lines of the war against the orcs. So only 2,000 square kilometers of land could be carved out of Maryland Province and given to the Duke of York.

Two thousand square kilometers of land looks small, much smaller than the territory controlled by the Haaland family.

But Maryland Province is a vast plain, and it is located in the heart of the kingdom, and the territory here is very valuable.

The royal family has not been knighted in Maryland for three hundred years.

The Big Three got the benefits, followed by the two Dukes Duran and Loraine.

The two dukes didn't want to let their forces be scattered.

Although the province of Gascoigne had a large territory, the great nobles did not look down on it at all. Obtaining a fief in the province of Gascoin inevitably entails war with the orcs.

Although the two dukedoms of Loran and Duran often clashed with the Delong Kingdom, their intensity was far from comparable to the orc invasion.

Although they have the obligation to support the war in northern Xinjiang, after all, they are not the first line, and the pressure is much less. Even if the territory of the province of Gascoigne was given away for nothing, they did not want to look at it.

Because they didn't want territory, Duke Roger rewarded them with 100,000 gold coins and sent them a batch of potion resources.

The other great nobles basically did not take sides, and the most meritorious ones in the counterinsurgency battle were Richard and William.

Their father and son pinned down the Northern Legion, saving the battlefield near Nolan one less problem.

If the Legion of the North and the Legion of the Lions had joined forces to go south, they might have broken through the Duke of York's defenses.

The situation will change, and the internal friction in the Kingdom of Grant will be more serious.

Although Richard and William did not participate in the battle, Duke Roger still rewarded Richard with a miraculous achievement, and the Barony of Dirham was distributed to the Haraland family.

In recent years, the Orcs have been mainly marching through the Pratos Mountains and the Haaland Valley.

The Barony of Dirham, located in this area, was unlucky and suffered two major blows, and the remaining family members lost their confidence in running the territory and have given up their inheritance rights.

Once again, the territory has become borderlands.

The area of the Dirham Barony is not small, larger than the Barony of Stoppa, with a total area of 1,600 square kilometers.

Although this territory is still hilly, the hills are already very low and gentle, and 30% of the interior of the territory is flat, and the agricultural conditions are much better than those in Stupa territory.

Compared to the previous feuds of the Haaland family, this territory is undoubtedly much more fertile.

After eating the barony of dirhams, the territory controlled by the Haaland family has exceeded 10,000 square kilometers, and the total population of more than 100,000 is more than 100,000 if you count the 30,000 people stolen from the Barony of Harden.

Richard settled the people who had moved in to the new territory.

The Barony of the Dirham had developed farmland and ready-made houses, although it needed to be squeezed for a short time, and the conditions were better than Richard's initial development of the territory.
