In the waiting room of the Galloping River Hall of Padmila Palace, there are already many knights waiting in line. They are all dressed in formal attire and in high spirits. Their lord, Lant Galloping Horse, is about to confer noble titles on them. For them, For each of them, this is a day comparable to rebirth in their lives.
A year ago, some of them were just captives and slaves of the barbarians, and some were depressed due to family or historical reasons. But from today on, they will become rare on-the-ground nobles in the entire empire, creating a new family of their own. .
"Do you think that if we divide the titles after Lant ascends the throne as King Galloping Horse, can the title be higher?" In excitement, Canine asked a question that he had never thought about: Why are these important ceremonies so anxious? .
For example, this morning, there are several things going on. First, the Galloping Horse tribe will make a formal appointment. The barbarian leaders including Neil, Big Stone, Blue Frog, etc. will receive various barbarian titles.
Then, Lant will directly canonize a large number of students who have just been trained by Galloping Horse Academy and become official knights and mages.
The last step is to appoint knight lords and palace titles. According to everyone's unified statement, all appointment activities will be completed within one and a half hours. In other words, each appointment and canonization only takes half an hour.
Of course, these activities are only for today. Tomorrow, there will be an oath-taking event for a group of palace knights. For example, Uffi, Dandelion and others will give up their fiefdoms and swear to become Lant's palace knights.
In addition, there are a large number of appointment activities for mages. Junior mages and above will enter various institutions and magic factories in Yeqi City and hold formal positions.
This is not even counted yesterday. Members of the Benma family in Yeqi City held a special celebration. In name, they congratulated Lant on his series of victories as family members, but in reality they recognized that Lant had become a member of these families. The leader of.
For three days in a row, family ceremonies, tribal ceremonies, territory enfeoffments, and personnel appointments and removals were held one after another, which really dazzled nobles like Hound Ya who had never seen the world.
"This..." When it came to his own knowledge blind spot, Petraeu Lanyuan did not dare to speak. He instinctively believed that the title that Lant could be conferred when he was a duke must be lower than when he was a king.
In other words, as the Duke of Yeqi City, Lant can divide the land and give smaller official positions, which can save some land and titles.
However, when I thought about it, as a knighthood, they actually did not accumulate enough to be able to conquer the territory and become a border count. The fight against the orcs and the legends were all done by Lant himself.
"You don't understand this," Dugan Blue Dragon came over and said at this time, "Now Lord Lant is the Duke of Yeqi City, and although the Galloping Horse Plain is considered his territory, it is still in a state of development. We nominally developed a territory under his protection, so as long as he recognizes our right to develop, the territory will be ours.
Once the Galloping Horse Kingdom is established, a noble council and a high-level council must be established in the kingdom. The local lords must at least be appointed by the lord council. Look at our current territory, how many lords are there in total? How many senior people are there? "
Hearing this, all the knights nodded. In the current territory, except for the lord Lant, the other field lords are Yavini Jinyue, Halkara, and his fifth granddaughter Vianis and Luo. Rousseff of the Fort and Totapala of the White Wolf City are the only lords who can be called territorial owners.
However, none of these people seem to be easy to talk to. At most, Viannis is barely familiar with the knights, and the remaining few don't even recognize them as knights.
As soon as the canine teeth summed it up, he immediately sighed: "I understand, the current canonization is a recognition of our expansion of the territory, rather than giving us the land that the empire already has. And once the kingdom is established, the enfeoffment of land needs to be approved at all levels. , then we won’t be able to follow our ideas!”
"Yes, the more complicated the procedures for many things, the better it is not necessarily." Dugan nodded, "If you don't believe me, go and look in each territory. Which family can have territories with the same surname next to each other like ours? There are many. The most taboo thing among great nobles is for their subordinates to huddle together."
"No wonder!" Petreu said quickly, "Families such as Elk and Feilong, even if they are top nobles, their fiefdoms are still all over the empire. It seems that Duke Lant is really good to us!"
Everyone understood that Lant dared to let them concentrate their territories, naturally because of the limitations of the local environment, and because Lant controlled big cities such as Yeqi City and Iowa, he was not afraid of the possibility of them challenging the lord after they gathered.
But what they didn't know was that when Lant was thinking about it, he hoped they could concentrate the resources in the territory and carry out large-scale industrial operations.
When the time reached 8:30, the door to the waiting room was opened again. Elenda Maned Wolf and Heinelton Galloping Horse walked in together. The two of them looked at a group of knights with some unnatural expressions on their faces.
Even before entering, everyone already knew everyone’s title. Elenda, Heinelton and Honir Galloping Horse will all receive the title of court earl. Tuokaf Beng, the youngest son of Rousseff’s mentor Horse, will receive the title of court viscount.
Elenda was able to advance to the next level on the basis of obtaining a baron, naturally because Lant now actually controls the earldom of the Maned Wolf family. She must think of something to compensate the Maned Wolf family, not just the title in the title. , the output of Maned Wolf City, Rand will also be redistributed to take care of Elenda and Bran.
Hornier and Heinelton are two of the three giants of the Basin Galloping Horse family. Naturally, Basin Galloping Horse is not a member of the Fiat or Huck branch, and cannot recognize Lant as the patriarch according to family etiquette, but They are the ones that Lant must win over.
Hornier has now returned to Xingtian City in the basin to rectify the Linmao tribe. Another grandson of Rousseff, the other three giants, is guarding Roseburg in the north of the plain and will not participate in this ceremony. Therefore, only Heinelton As a knight recognized by the empire, I can stand here.
As for the knights who came to the battlefield during other wars in the Basin Galloping Horse, because they did not have knight titles recognized by the empire, they had to follow the children of Galloping Horse Academy to be knighted first, and then they could be crowned lords and lords along with everyone in the waiting room. Palace title.
"Elenda? Shouldn't you be following Marquis Harker in the hall?"
In everyone's silence, Pete Mane Wolf asked everyone's question: Shouldn't you marry Lant? Why did he become his vassal like us?
Elenda's face suddenly turned red. Lant gave her and Bran the Maned Wolf two years. If they did not reach a high level in two years, Lant would have no choice but to marry her.
The magister in the family also came to her specifically before and suggested that she should marry Lant immediately to avoid long nights and dreams. However, whether it is Elenda or Bran, the siblings still have a trace of ambition to reach a high level. I hope Able to completely regain control of Maned Wolf City.
