Chapter 262: Imperial Envoys

Chapter 257 – Imperial Envoys

In addition to the territory’s livelihood aspects, the army is not a layer of the same, first of all, the 1,500-strong military cantonment battalion was merged into the main regiment, which greatly strengthened HYDRA’s ability to fight foreign wars.

And with the addition of Charlie, Monk, and Kayla, Howard’s command and control of the army has also been elevated to a higher level.

In addition, the city defense army has also greatly expanded, the number of soldiers reached 1,500, although not as many as the main regiment, but has the right to mobilize conscripts to assist in patrols, security and city defense.

You have to know that with the territory’s conscription system, a territory with a population of 60,000 can pull up tens of thousands of conscripts at any time, even if they are not professional soldiers, their combat power is still not to be underestimated, after all, all beings are equal at gunpoint.

What’s more, the conscription is not just one wave, it’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s a universal army, and it can definitely make any enemy feel a toothache.

In addition to the army, the roots were also strengthened, Owen increased the number of ninja squads, while exchanging some of the Naruto’s dark parts.

These ninjas who devote themselves to the darkness are real elites, not as simple as cannon fodder or background plates, just look at who in Naruto have all been the darkness at one time or another to know how high the gold content is.

Another thing that has been strengthened is the territory’s religious system, an area that Owen brought up a long time ago but has struggled to perfect, and even the appearance of the Mother of Dragons hasn’t changed much.

Now the construction of the Holy Light Cathedral has been completed, and there are branch temples in every sub-city, with priests from the Heroes Invincible world and monks from the Age of Empires, the missionary aspect has been quite perfect.

Tendon priests who can master healing techniques and can also fight, coupled with eloquent scholar-type monks, there is no need for Owen to worry.

As for the force, Owen formed the Templar Knights as the armed forces of the Cathedral of the Holy Light, full of Templars, good-looking but also able to fight, all the face.

Although it took a lot of energy and resources, what the Holy Light Cathedral believes in is not a true god, not even a god, because it is Owen in power armor.

Owen wasn’t even a legend, so naturally he couldn’t perceive the existence of faith, so in order to avoid waste, each shrine offered a piece of equipment that was fused with a holy relic, which was used to absorb and store the power of faith.

This wasn’t easy to do, knowing that apart from divine weapons, even legendary weapons couldn’t relate to faith, seeing the magic of holy relics.

Although the holy relics came from the low-mystery empire era, they were able to condense faith to create miracles, and belonged to the existence of not much power but high grade, so they were able to do this.

Fusion of holy relics of holy weapons is not purely for show, in the faith of the enchantment of each has a strange ability, or Owen’s faith storage, in the necessary time a full set of holy weapons enchantment, demigods he dared to just a hand.

While Owen was busy making the final preparations, the town of Ferrier also welcomed the imperial envoys.

There is only one envoy, but the envoy group can’t be only one person, in addition to the main envoy, deputy envoy, there are also supervisors and servants and guards, as many as hundreds of people.

One of the envoys appointed by the emperor is Marquis Burgassus, the deputy envoy is Count Dekra and Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess, there are also royal mages and royal knights guarding the whole way, and there are hundreds of servants and soldiers.

These information Ferrier has long known, after all, her connections in this, confidential important don’t expect those people to help, but insignificant small things but very happy to sell her personal favor, so Ferrier was able to prepare in advance, to meet the arrival of the envoys. As the imperial envoy Marquis Burgassus is a white beard but the body of a robust old man, from the traditional aristocratic family, but because of the lack of inheritance, was arranged to study in the imperial capital, and then coincidentally became the emperor has not yet become the prince’s entourage, and formed a deep friendship, and so far is still the emperor’s very trusting confidant, is an important figure of the royalist faction, was named as a marquis, the viscounts of the collar.

The deputy ambassador, Count Dekra, is a standard traditional aristocrat who is proud of his family’s honor, and therefore never hides his disgust when confronted with the Marquis of Burgasus, who is a traditional aristocrat but chooses to be the emperor’s lapdog, believing him to be a clown who wears the garb of a marquis but only serves to please the emperor.

The conflict between the two is not a special case, but an irreconcilable conflict between the imperial nobility and the traditional nobility.

In fact, the main reason for the antagonism between the two sides was the unequal distribution of land and power, not simply because the imperial nobles were royalists.

The empire is this big, land rights are limited, traditional nobles because of the history of existence almost equal to the empire, occupying more than half of the empire’s land, very often even in the face of the emperor also love to ignore.

This is not a slap in the face of the emperor, so the royal family has been trying to take back the land and rights that were granted to them in the early days of the empire.

The problem is, how can the traditional nobles give up the land and power in their hands, and even because of the interests connected, the traditional nobles once held a group to force a certain emperor in his prime to abdicate, and soon died of typhoid fever, the fact is, everyone understands.

With this precedent in place, even the emperor would not dare to force his way, so in the name of the Empire, the title of nobles was born.

Imperial nobles high title, less fiefdom, and even most of the actual fiefdom is not, so naturally short of the traditional nobles a head, but also for the land more and more eager, no need to urge the emperor, irreconcilable contradictions between the two sides of the fight to the death, and the emperor only need to pull the side frame, do not need to personally come down to the scene.

Even from a certain point of view, the emergence of the imperial nobility has become the stabilizer of the internal struggle of the empire.

Because both the emperor and the traditional nobles know very well that the imperial nobles can’t do anything at all, because they have no roots.

So the traditional nobles hate the imperial nobles, but will not be too serious, just like meeting the dog that barks at you, you can kill it, but there is no need to, for one thing, you still have to look at the master to beat the dog, and secondly, you want to be a dog is too much, you can’t kill it cleanly.

So the emperor is all right to direct the imperial nobles to the traditional nobles to find trouble out of anger, and traditional nobles if the annoyance of a few imperial nobles to the emperor to see the face, but in fact the two sides have no loss, the only bitter only sandwiched in the middle, but have to rely on the emperor of the imperial nobles.

It can be said that the imperial nobles perfectly serve as a punching bag between the emperor and the traditional nobles.

In addition to these two, Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess, who came with her, came as a supervisor, in other words, her existence was the emperor’s eyes and ears, able to see and hear, but not able to speak, no special things happen, similar to a mascot, can be ignored.

As for the pose of the Princess of the frame, huh, the emperor has dozens of children, big people to middle age, small words are still not going to say, look at the situation of the emperor’s lifetime, the number of children can break the hundred, so the Princess of the Prince of what is really not worth it, but also a few individual status is a little higher, the rest are the tools of the marriage.

However, the nine princesses are not all set up, at a young age is already a senior knight, in her age when the genius of this name.

In the future, if she is able to break through to the legend, the royal family may not have no place for her.
