Chapter 259: Crisis in the Northern Land

Chapter 254 – Northern Land Feudal Crisis
Striking iron needs to be hard, Owen’s idea is good, but he still needs to have strength enough to support the plan.

The good thing is that although Hydra is far away, not in the most dense place of the chaotic people, but out early, catching the tail of the tide of people to eat, now the population has reached 50,000 people.

Owen immediately upgraded the town center to level five, allowing the population cap to reach 100,000, in case the population cap was exceeded and the excess population could not be assimilated.

After the upgrade, in addition to the increase in the population cap, the potential in technology, military, and talents was also deepened.

For example, in addition to more advanced muskets, firearms were also able to cast heavy artillery and blossom bullets, which already had the strength of modern warfare.

Even if the territory relies on the sea, the territory is able to build iron armor ships to go to the sea to fight for supremacy.

Unfortunately, a rainstorm can make the firearms army washed out, the legend is even able to single-handedly slaughter the ship.

Therefore, Owen knew very well that these were just the foundation of the territory, not the real dependence.

Just when Owen had a rare moment of quiet time to develop his territory, Ferrier contacted him through the two-sided mirror, and looking at her face full of haggardness and an unconcealable annoyance, he knew that she had been under a lot of pressure during this period of time.

Owen asked and realized that the pressure that Ferrier was facing was even greater than he had imagined, after all, the other party’s territory was closer to the border of the empire than Hydra, and was also more susceptible to the influence of the empire’s forces that were reaching into the Northlands.

So during this period of time, the number of spies in the town of Ferrier once again skyrocketed, almost all the townspeople have a sideline, and even openly sell all kinds of information, including her lord’s, such as personality, dress, hobbies, and even the room furnishings and favorite jewelry are in the intelligence sale, almost know what kind of bottom she wears every day to pull what kind of shape of poop, how can she not let go crazy.

After complaining for a while, Ferrier regained her composure and then told Owen a very bad news.

The Empire was going to re-examine the nobles of the Northlands and grant new titles, true Imperial titles, based on the land and population of the territory.

Now Owen understands why the people were let into the Northland to fertilize, it was all for the imperial title.

As for why it was bad news, it was that all of them needed to travel to the imperial capital to receive the emperor’s title.

This is like returning home for the forces that came from the empire to share the cake in the Northland, but for a pure Northland noble like Owen, the dangers that he has to face along the way are enough to make anyone’s scalp numb.

Especially Owen in the empire has no roots and connections, in the face of all the forces threatening to stand in line, a single word will have the danger of disappearing.

Therefore after hearing this, Owen’s face was no better than Ferrier’s.

But this is also an opportunity for the HYDRA, if successful, HYDRA will break through the boundaries of the Northlands and truly step into the Empire, the center of power.

After thinking about it for a while and realizing that he didn’t really have a choice, Owen gave up on other means and began to make preparations to enter the empire.

According to reason Owen should have sent the root’s intelligence personnel into the empire first, the problem was how big the empire was, the root was only a few people, it wouldn’t be able to do much at all, but instead it would be easy to startle the snakes.

Therefore, Owen planned to come in a dignified manner this time, showing enough strength and background to make people feel that it was more appropriate to draw people in than to come hard.

“Start the city building program immediately!” Owen called Maya over and came up and said with some excitement.

“Is it something that has changed on the imperial side? Could it be that the northern nobles are going to be re-enlisted?” After integrating Zhuge Liang’s template, the already political sensitivity was not low Maya became more and more perceptive, and hit the nail on the head with a single word.

Owen nodded and told her the news he got from where Ferrier was. After a few moments of contemplation Maya sorted out the whole thing, while thinking that Owen’s plan was very good.

With Hydra’s strength in the Northlands, the various forces of the Empire could not be skipped no matter what, much less ignored, and there were only two choices: to draw in and to suppress.

And the stronger the strength of the territory, the more goodwill it faced, on the contrary, the more it revealed its weakness, the more malice it swarmed with, which was why Owen was in a hurry to plan to build a city.

For the building of the city, Maya already had a plan, after the internal affairs system is formed, it is even better to make preparations, and now the biggest problem is to go to the empire enshrinement to be how to deal with it.

Although this is in line with the previous plan to find allies in the Empire, after all, the Northland is vast but limited potential, the more the development of the limitations will be the greater, so early layout in the Empire is to cope with the trend of future development.

But one is fully prepared to go, one is somewhat passive to go, not to mention that this time to the Empire to accept the enthronement is like being put in the spotlight, let Owen headache.

“Maybe we can make use of the identity of the next lady.” Maya suddenly spoke up.

Owen first froze for a moment, thinking that he wasn’t married yet, before realizing that Maya was referring to his mother.

The first lady of the Hare Chamber of Commerce, which was a bullshit status, but if she was a rebel witch which.

It was said that his grandma wasn’t simple either, a big shot from the sorcerer’s holy land of Dorinta.

Witches, although unpopular, is an inseparable part of the witch system, after all, witches rely on magical bloodline, male witches and ordinary female offspring, obviously not as much potential as male witches and witches offspring, so the witch sanctuary is a lot of witches, and holds a lot of power.

As a sorcerer’s sanctuary, Dorinta’s strength is not weak, there are more than one or two legends, and it is even rumored that there are higher ones.

I don’t know whether it’s true or not, but as one of the transcendent forces, it’s the consensus of all the upper class people that Dorinta is not good at bullying.

Everyone knows that witches are powerful, let alone an organized group of witches.

“It’s not enough, my gender is the biggest problem.” Owen rubbed his chin and said so, because his mother belonged to the witch line, he was destined to not get much support as a male.

“What do you think about adding the world-spanning Hydra to the mix?” Owen suddenly thought of something, his spirit lifted, and spoke to Maya.

Since his mother’s side wasn’t strong enough, he would add the power of his father’s side to it.

The legendary witch Rebel Witch was able to disguise herself as the first lady of some small chamber of commerce on the borders of the empire, so she wouldn’t allow the prince of the Otherworld to disguise himself as the son of a fallen Northland nobleman to have a love-hate relationship with him.

The background of the identity Owen made up for himself was truly impressive, and the mother’s side was completely traceable and had enough evidence, and as for the father’s side, Hydra’s bizarre development speed, the existence of cross-border teleportation arrays, these were all evidence.

As for the biggest problem in this matter, which was whether Owen’s mother would cooperate, he didn’t care at all.

Her identity, Owen’s strength, these are ironclad evidence, even if she personally denied it is useless, the words of the rebel witch dare to be true there are a few, not to mention that as long as Owen acted real enough, or even she has to suspect that her man is not faking his own death to get away.

Afterwards, his own father’s grave will be his own mother planed to verify the identity, Owen does not care, he pulled Maya to enrich this plan.
