Chapter 639

After hearing this news, almost all the noble factions in sene fell into the dull degree of mouth and mouth. Although many of the old dabion nobles who have been divided into the northern noble factions are also surprised or even stunned, their real surprise lies in the noble status of the "one vote seat" obtained by Sean, because now all the northern nobles know that only 12 people can own this seat.

Sean Connery was already one of the twelve.

However, different from the representative status of this "one vote seat" valued by the northern aristocrats, all the northern aristocrats pay more attention to the symbolic significance of Sean's canonization.

Sean Connery is the first Duke officially canonized and recognized by Ryan kingdom!

Moreover, the noble title he obtained is not only a virtual tenure, but a hereditary Duke with the most value and power status, which is very different from the "Marquis" as we all know!

Tenure is just an honor in name. In fact, it has no great value and status at all, because all this will end with the death of the canonizer. Of course, if you have to say something valuable, it is probably that you can get a fairly good salary from the royal family every month.

However, the symbolic meaning of hereditary titles is completely different.

Not to mention that this title can be passed on to future generations forever, it is only a title that can be reported to the royal family to canonize its followers, which is enough to make many lifelong aristocrats feel incomparably envious. Of course, if it's just a baron or viscount, then the so-called knighthood for followers is a better concept than nothing. However, if it rises to count, marquis and even Duke, then the meaning is completely different.

Especially the gap between the Marquis and the Duke.

In lane, the Marquis can only be canonized by five Viscount at most, and even the count is not allowed to be canonized by the marquis.

But the Duke is completely different.

The nobility with this Duke title can not only canonize the count, but also have the canonization qualification of two hereditary Marquis titles and one lifelong marquis. However, the territory owned by the nobility canonized by the Duke must naturally be borne by the Duke. The kingdom will only recognize the legitimacy of the Marquis and will not reward the territory as a fief. But even so, this is still a manifestation of supreme power.

And more shocking than that.

The Ryan royal family not only canonized Sean as Duke, but also announced the recognition of the territorial division submitted by Sean Connery, and officially changed its name to confirm it as the void collar. This means that a total of seven old territories, including panda collar, yadby collar, bobis collar, chilav collar, Dayi collar, soan collar and tinchein collar, will all belong to Sean Connery's name and officially become his fief - void collar.

To a wide extent, these seven territories have far exceeded the size of a normal duchy. Although under normal circumstances, the scope of territory owned by a local aristocrat with territory is usually directly proportional to his ability, under normal circumstances, this hidden rule approach will not be so blatant. Generally, even if he occupies a larger territory, he will use the method of nominal name instead of being really incorporated into his own territory.

You know, the void collar Sean now has is actually composed of a count collar, three sub barons collar and three barons collar. Among them, the Earl of tinchein, the Viscount of Burgess, the Viscount of yedby and the Baron of panda are all unconventional barons. The scale of these four territories alone has exceeded that of one Duke. Therefore, the territory area owned by Sean now can be basically as large as that of the two Duke.

Now, in the whole Ryan Kingdom, Sean has the third largest territory after the Ryan royal family and Athena g. Evans.

Generally speaking, such a vast territory requires a great amount of military power. Therefore, generally, if there is no strong enough strength, no Lord will take such a large area of territory, which is another advantage of the nominal territory - nominally, this territory belongs to another Lord. Therefore, if someone makes an idea about this territory, the nominal Lord of this territory must fight back for face.

Therefore, if any nobleman is so extravagant, other noblemen like jackals will teach each other how to be a man every minute. At least, the coercion in force is enough to force the other party to submit. After all, the nobles don't mind uniting as long as the interests are enough.

However, when the nobles heard that Sean had such a vast territory, no one tried to coerce Sean by force.

The reason is simple.

In terms of war attitude, the incident at the Changqing suspension bridge this morning let them know that Sean is definitely a man who will repay his vengeance, and even children will not let go, which shows that the other party doesn't care about the war of blood revenge at all. Therefore, if you want to force Sean to submit by force, you must make an endless war with Sean.

Once entering a state of war, there are four key factors determining the outcome of the war.

The first is high-end force.

After the tragic situation of the dovigo family, it is known that Sean has a real strong man who can face off against the holy land level. Basically, except for those big families with deep enough heritage and also dominated by the strong in the holy land, few families can compete with Sean in terms of high-end force.

Since the high-end force can not compete, these nobles can only think about whether they can suppress Sean from other aspects.

The second key factor that depends on the outcome of the war is military strength.

Just the moment the idea came out of the minds of the nobles, they directly put it out.

I'm kidding. Can anyone compare with Sean when it comes to military power?

In the war against dabion, Sean's three legions of thunder lion, steel wing and Cecilia guards have made a brilliant reputation. Not only many nobles of dabion know the horror of these three legions, but even Ryan nobles know. In particular, the lion of thunder and the iron wing, these two legions have a brilliant record of defeating the mountain lion Legion and the second cavalry regiment of dabion on the frontal battlefield; Cecilia's guards became famous because they directly received soldiers from the fourth regiment of dabion.

Although the war has just ended, Sean's Territorial Army must still be reorganized. If a war is launched, it may not be able to deal with it. But this is also the same for other nobles, especially those who participated in the northwest war zone. Their losses were so heavy that they could not be further increased. Compared with Sean, it was only heavy. When they were finished, it was estimated that Sean's army had been finished.

At this time, who dares to continue to compete with Sean for military strength?

The first and second factors can not suppress Sean. As the most critical and important third factor in determining the war situation, it is enough to silence more people.

Because the third element is the problem of generals.

In the Principality of lane before the annexation of dabion, there were only three recognized strongest generals in the country.

Devin sodell saber, known as the "sword of Ryan", rold g. Evans, honored as the "shield of Ryan", and yasna g. Evans, who was brilliant in the first war against dabion. As for those powerful generals of other military statistics departments or private generals raised by nobles, there is still a great gap compared with these three.

After the annexation of dabion, Ryan has added several new generals.

For example, the old Duke of hatch boulder and the Duke of Kos Hopson of the former Duke of dabion, as well as Lonnie holder of the former Marquis of dabion and menzo Haian, a follower of Florence wiles, a pioneering Knight under the former Athena. Of course, there was William Yale, the military commander under Sean Connery, whom many of Ryan's aristocrats did not want to admit at all.

Among these new generals, almost every one has something to do with Sean. How can these people deal with Sean? Moreover, Athena g. Evans is undoubtedly on Sean's side; Roland g. Evans must also sit in the fortress of St. derons. He is not allowed to leave the fortress without royal order; As for Devin sodell saber, who is known as the "sword of Ryan", he still maintains a neutral attitude. At least he will not have any conflict with Sean until he has made a clear statement.

Therefore, in the competition of famous generals, the nobles have to admit that they are still not Sean's opponents.

The last decisive factor remaining is resources.

The position of the void collar is to the east of tonis fortress, that is, the land of the former dabion kingdom. This is a place called beyond the Great Wall by Ryan's old school nobles. Here, the influence of these former Ryan nobles can be said to be minimal. Even if they want to implement the so-called economic planting, trade blockade and other acts, it is impossible. And even if they work together to deal with Sean like this, will the other party be afraid?

Even the chamber of Commerce Alliance dared to provoke and declare war, and even completely looted all the resources of the chamber of Commerce Alliance - Sean's actions in the gray shadow black market were kept secret and blocked by the chamber of Commerce Alliance, but it was no secret to some senior nobles, so they not only knew Sean's actions, There's even a list of some of the items Sean looted.

Only this incomplete list of some items is enough to make many nobles greedy.

Moreover, after owning the three territories of tinguin, yadby and burbis, Sean basically does not lack any resources. In addition, he also controls a passage to the wilderness. So it's almost conceivable that if given enough time, Sean Connery will become the most powerful Duke of Ryan - but this is where all nobles have no choice.

In the current situation, all Ryan nobles do not have a good way to clamp down on Sean's development.

Unless they want to start civil strife.

However, it is beyond the tolerance of the royal family to launch civil strife without a suitable excuse. Therefore, they do not know whether the civil strife will be successfully launched at that time, but they will certainly become the first victims of the civil strife. This kind of business is almost at a loss, and no aristocrat can do it. Unless it really reaches the stage of blood revenge, other aristocrats may find an excuse to intervene.

In this way, the problem returns to the origin: the dovigo family.

At present, only the dovigo family has enough excuses to declare war on Sean. After all, Sean cut off a right hand of setines dovigo's brother, and then sent it back in an extremely humiliating way. So if the davigo family takes this as an excuse, it can launch a round of blame on Sean, but no one can guarantee the final result.

After all, they don't know what Sean thinks.

So the Seine nobles, these nobles, were waiting for the decisions made by their leaders.

But for the upper nobles, at this moment, their mind has long been gone from Sean.

They have felt the imminent reshuffle of the aristocracy.

Because at the same time of this national celebration, there is also the canonization of the new aristocracy. After all, Ryan's promotion from the principality to the Kingdom means that many aristocrats have the opportunity to turn over. For example, those Marquis may be upgraded to Duke, which is already the highest honor and title in a kingdom. If they can go one step further, they can certainly obtain complete independence. At that time, they will be the domestic state, that is, the prototype of the so-called principality.

However, for a kingdom, the Duke's enfeoffment must not be too many people, because it is not just a glory and privilege.

At the same time, we must also take into account the so-called vanity and face of the nobility.

If there are too many Dukes in a kingdom, the title is not worth money.

Therefore, according to the secret investigation of these nobles, there will be seven Duke titles after Ryan is upgraded to the kingdom.

In order to appease dabion's capitulationist nobles, three Duke places will be given to dabion's nobles this time, and these three people are hatch Boulder, Kos Hopson and a man named roha Karch. Among the remaining four dukes, there is no doubt that yasna g. Evans, rold g. Evans and Devin sodell saber will share three of them.

So the remaining ten Marquis set their eyes on the last Duke.

But no one thought that this last one was taken away by Sean Connery!

……

At this moment, a luxurious residence on Lane Seventh Avenue is in a busy scene.

Not far away, several carriages were slowly driving towards the mansion.
