Chapter 178 Promotion to Viscount
Author: Lin Quan Hermit
Although King Charles has been in power for 30 years, he actually has no experience of joining the army and fighting on the front line.
Although he is a sixth-level knight, he is completely piled up with precious potions.
He didn't understand the changes in the war situation at all, so he could only listen to the following opinions.
The court bureaucrats are filled with various interest groups, supporting different princes, and there are countless struggles every day.
When he encounters a dispute, he needs to make a decision, he often makes decisions based on his likes and dislikes.
He liked Felix and hated the eldest prince Chris, so he supported the Holland family and suppressed Baron Richard.
As for whether suppressing Richard would be detrimental to the overall situation and cause trouble, King Charlie often doesn't understand.
There is actually a special reason why he hates the eldest prince Chris. He discovered that the queen had an affair with Duke Roger.
The queen is the legitimate daughter of Duke Duran, and Duke Roger also has great influence within the royal family.
Even with conclusive evidence, it is difficult to obtain widespread support and dispose of them.
Not to mention the rumors that King Charles heard, it may also be a court struggle or a sensation.
Because of this barrier, King Charlie continued to support Prince Felix, whom he liked, and hoped to support Felix as his heir.
King Charles felt very humiliated by being beaten by Duke Brena, but reality must make him bear the humiliation.
After King Louis, four generations of kings lived in the shadow of Brena.
Only when his father Philip was a ninth-order epic knight who also had a high prestige in the army would he receive limited respect from Breener.
Although he is a noble king, Charlie has no ability to resist in the face of Brena. Because in the basic royal family, Brena's influence is far greater than that of the king.
He had disagreements with Brena, and the royal guards and mages would not support the king's decision.
Maybe you will tear your face apart, or even die unexpectedly, and the throne will be replaced.
"If I die, poor little Felix will not know what fate will he encounter? Anyway, the old man Brena is about to die, and he will be able to turn over when he dies. I will record today's insults, and there will always be a time to settle."
King Charlie hated Brena to death, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He actually couldn't listen to what Brena said.
But King Charles did not dare to object to Marshal Brena's decision.
Soon the king sent a commendation order and granted two territories to Richard.
The two territories combined are more than 4,500 square kilometers, and the original Baron Richard was merged and promoted to the Viscount Richard, with an area of 6,000 square kilometers.
Including William and Sophia's territory, the Haaland family's fiefdom has reached 9,000 square kilometers, surpassing Viscount Rommen and becoming the hereditary noble with the most fiefs in the province of Gedda.
Although the fiefdom is large, there are not many people in the territory.
Adding to the six thousand slaves rescued in this war, the population controlled by the Haaland family exceeded 50,000.
Although there are no fewer than 50,000 people, there are only five people per square kilometer on a land of 9,000 square kilometers, which is only better than the XZ in Richard's previous life.
Although the territory controlled by the Haaland family is a mountainous land, it is actually very suitable for human survival.
If such a large piece of land is developed, it will be enough to support 300,000 people.
The bureaucrats who came down from the capital were very good at looking at each other and found that the Charles Kingdom did not like the Haaland family, so they naturally would not be close to Richard.
He didn't even want the gift given by Richard, as if he was avoiding the plague god. He hastily divided the territory, handled the documents, and returned to the capital without stopping.
The reason why the royal capital was granted such a vast territory to Richard was that it was to give favors to the unowned land.
This area is deserted.
If Richard stood up here, this territory would become the highlight of the orcs' key strike.
With this protrusion, the defensive situation of the entire Geda Province will be greatly improved. The Haland Valley is completely in the hands of Richard, and the orcs cannot invade through this valley.
The Kingdom of Grant only gave a little name, so the ambitious nobles had to fight to the death.
It is very dangerous to become a prominent part in the border province, especially the frequent and intense wars in the Northern Territory. The Earl Martins was a prominent part, but it was quickly conquered by the orcs.
Martins is not stable. The Haaland family is now stronger than the Martins family, and it is also difficult to gain a foothold.
He was promoted to the title and obtained a new territory, and it was already August.
The orcs suffered a defeat in the war in the Ghada Province, and the Northern Legion entered the Rah Province. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Kiram, the commander of the Orc Front, decisively chose to retreat.
In late August, the war had ended, and Richard also followed the main force to return to the Geda Province.
After being promoted to the title, you need to go to the royal capital to participate in the ceremony of the enthronement.
Richard rushed to the capital, and it was already the third day of September.
Holding the noble heraldry, Richard entered the hall of the noble parliament.
The noble parliament hall has six floors and is thirty meters high. When building this building, many magicians worked hard. There were no joints between the stones, and it seemed that they were transformed into stones.
The decoration inside is also very luxurious, using a lot of precious materials.
Richard came to the noble parliament and directly found Prince Chris.
After turning against the Holland family, Richard temporarily put down his rift with Duke Roger and became a staunch supporter of Prince Chris.
After Richard's trouble, it has become impossible for Richard to cooperate with the Horan family.
Bellethoran could not stay in the province of Gedda, and was removed from his post by King Charles and was temporarily dormant. However, his cousin Geram once again gained the weight of King Charles and became the consul of the province of Seldorf.
The province of Seldorf is located in the southwest of Nolan and is equivalent to the HEB province in Richard's previous life.
This time, Geram's status became even more important.
After Richard arrived at Nolan, he waited for more than ten days, and with the three barons, he participated in the title ceremony and swore allegiance to the Kingdom of Grant.
After taking the oath, Richard suddenly felt a thin chain appearing in the mental space, as if locking his soul.
The chain just entered and was immediately absorbed by the silver necklace.
Absorbing this little power, the silver necklace seemed to be a little brighter.
The abnormality of the silver necklace shocked Richard and acted a little confused.
Richard did not attend the following banquet and hurried back to the hotel.
Richard wanted to figure out the secret of this silver necklace, but unfortunately he was helpless. The feeling of life being controlled made Richard hate it very much. He was secretly wary of this silver necklace, and did not dare to slack off for a moment. He was very diligent every day. He hoped to advance to the legend as soon as possible. Only when the essence of life changed can he figure out the secret of this silver necklace.
After the ceremony was completed, Richard immediately returned to the territory and devoted himself to the study of magic.
