The advantage of choosing a remote manor with a single house is that you can build as much as you like without being complained by neighbors for disturbing the people in the middle of the night... Well, I mean that slightly strengthened military facilities and military training can avoid being noticed.
According to the agreement between Oros and I, in order to participate in the next events, I really have to integrate the strength of my subordinates. The unparalleled military commander sounds very cool, but in fact it is just another way of saying the polished commander.
For the sake of future high-intensity combat, coupled with the increasingly troublesome current situation, it is indeed time to reorganize the combat power of the opponent's "Lan" flag.
Well, the Lanzi Banner is not the Donglan Royal Family where Renee belongs, but my Roland's personal power, or rather - family.
If we put our allied forces together, the combat strength is quite objective. However, many of them belong to a certain country or alliance, but not so many can be completely attributed to my personal name.
It includes the seven original sins (arrogant and disobedient, lazy and unborn), my red hounds (many of whom are working in Donglan, and most of them are still wandering around in the underground world), and then there are a series of existences similar to retainers,
For example, the personal consultants Dimiret, Olivia and their group of engineers and alchemists, the Chamber of Commerce left by Eliza as a gift, the Archdruid Storm Eagle and the dark elf Diana who has escaped the restrictions of her job.
Yawen, Momo, Victoria, um, and "wait".
"...Why do I have to wait so long?" a certain half-dragon complained.
"...You have become more and more associated with the word harmony recently. Sooner or later you will be able to attract the holy light of harmony just by using your name."
With my status as the envoy of the God of Law and my past relationship, I can indeed mobilize legal professions such as Snow Hoof and Lilith. But strictly speaking, they are not under my control. Their allegiance is to the Church of Law, and as
Law enforcers and judicial officers should indeed remain neutral.
As a descendant of Lan, I can indeed command the mobilization of the Aurora Knights of Donglan and the Royal Knights of Siluwell, but strictly speaking, before the order of allegiance of these warriors, there are two other kings, Renee and Galina.
, I am not suitable for mobilizing them frequently and directly.
In fact, before every transfer, I would ask Renee and Galina to personally lead the team. This is not only an experience for the young kings, but also a kind of respect for the royal power.
Of course, with the establishment of the Lan Alliance, as a core member of the Lan Alliance, I will have more and more invisible forces, but my direct combat power may even decrease.
I usually have few people under my command. If I want to launch a war or respond to a war, I can only rely on my personal appeal. This is not my personal situation, but a common problem of this era.
Even if you don’t want to admit it, the fact is that the foundation of humanity in Ashe’s world is still nobility and knights. The severe environment has made weak humans learn to stick together for warmth. The nobles rule the people in the territory and are also responsible for protecting the people. And countless
The lords were loyal to the king and jointly formed a kingdom or empire.
Of course, there are also countries with parliamentary systems and republics, but they either have small territories, such as one city and one country, or they have special circumstances, such as unified theocracy and mixed ethnic groups. But the mainstream is always the feudal feudal lord system, which was the old feudal lord system.
As reactionary landowners and country squires.
I did not try to create a bourgeois or proletarian revolution like the time-travelers who often appear in novels, because such social systems and concepts are in line with the current social reality. Forcibly implementing an "advanced" system that is not in line with reality will only make me historical.
The wheels rolled over me.
The weak serve the strong, and the strong protect the weak. When severe survival conditions require such direct survival rules, the aristocratic class that has mastered power will naturally always exist, and those who were not originally aristocrats will also gain strength.
Become a noble or lord.
In the current era of feudal kingship, even the king of a country is often only the largest lord of the country. His power comes more from authority. In fact, his direct subordinates are only his family's territory and the knights loyal to this family. Well,
It is a royal knight. In most cases, a royal knight is a personal knight loyal to the royal family. However, since the royal family is the master of the country, there is no difference between being loyal to the country.
Well, having said all this, you can probably see that the countries of this world and the modern countries of the earth are completely different concepts. In a sense, the countries of the Ashe world are composed of countless "families". The knights'
Allegiance is often directed to that family, rather than to the so-called country. It can even be said that there is no pure concept of country.
The composition of this "family" does not rely solely on blood. Common ideals or common goals are also possible. In order to resist the tyranny and genocide of the Rav Empire, countless races and peoples hid and moved in the Shining Mountains, but when they really
When the empire was driven away, a family with the "White Eagle" as its emblem became the masters of that mountain range, and the descendants of those remaining people became the new race of Xiyan people, and were loyal to the descendants of the eagle throughout the ages.
But completely different from them is the Fran family. They are a group of scholars who study ancient arcana and astronomy. They conducted team research under a peerless genius named Fran. After a long period of time, they lived together and intermarried with each other.
, but became a legendary family that has been astrologers for generations.
A country is a combination of families. Local knights are loyal to local lords, local lords are loyal to the royal family, and all idle knights are loyal to the royal family. The demise of a country is often the demise of the royal family of that country. Therefore, sometimes the elimination of heirs is more dangerous than the invasion of foreign enemies.
.
Therefore, I can say that the Kingdom of Lan has not been destroyed before I am wiped out in ashes, and the loyal royal knights and warriors of the Kingdom of Lan are now transformed into undead spirits to follow me. So, in popular opinion, our Northland
Did the Lan family not perish?
"I really don't know about this? Why don't you ask Cavins?"
In a sense, there is really no precedent for what happened between the two of us. There is really no precedent for this person who died and came back to life and went to hell.
But Renee's East Lan royal family, the Lan family, and Siluwell's royal family, can only be regarded as tributaries of our original Northland Lan family. This is what their founders recognized when they raised the flag.
If I directly admit that Renee and Galina are members of the Beidilan family, I'm afraid they will have to be placed under me. Not only will I, as the original owner of this land, be embarrassed to get along with the two princesses in the future,
, maybe it will trigger a war about orthodoxy among future generations, which is obviously something I don’t want to see.
Regardless of what happened before, it can naturally be regarded as the Kitagawa Arashi family still exists, or at least the revival of the Kitachi Arashi family.
Best and the others have complained to me privately several times. They hope that I can re-establish the banner of the Lan family. Even if the country is destroyed and the family is still there, they hope that I can carry the battle flag of Lan in an upright manner and revive Northern Lan.
Home.
On another level, this is indeed a necessity after the establishment of the Lan Alliance. I expect that the Lan Alliance will be a parliamentary alliance of countries, but those who can qualify as members must be the royal families of each country, and I participate in it in a private capacity.
, obviously the name is not justified.
Okay, to be honest, what I find most intolerable is that I never thought that these old skeletons and zombies would be so gossipy and boring, that they could force me into a forced marriage.
"Your Highness, you are more than three hundred years old. The old king next door already has five generations of grandchildren, but you are still an old bachelor. I am ashamed of the teachings of the late king!"
"...Who is the old bachelor! Do I have a woman who has a relationship with my father? I already have a girlfriend! Eliza, the Demon Lord, the Marquis of the Sea of Fire, is super powerful, are you afraid of me?"
"...What happened to the demigods and demon lords? The Lan family wants a mistress, not a thug. Even if the demon marquis can't give birth, I'm afraid. Your Highness, you have to think about it, if you die, we will
Who do these old guys serve? The Lan family's two thousand years of heritage cannot be ended in the hands of our generation. Miss Eliza can indeed be a lover, but the Lan family needs a mistress who can give birth to future generations."
I was still very annoyed at being forced to marry in front of me, but in a sense, as my elder who has been loyal to the Lan family for generations, Sir Ferdinand can indeed play the role of my father. Even if I am angry, I can't get angry.
.
But if it's just these, I can still accept it. Before, I didn't have many living people under my command, but in this life, with the addition of Dimiret and the others, there are more and more living people under my command, and some things have become troublesome.
"Your Highness, even the long-term mercenaries under the big businessmen are loyal to the merchant families. There are more and more people under you. Even if it doesn't matter to you, you have to think about them. At least you will have a place to pay your pension after you die.
Jin, if your family can arrange for old age care, then you will have no worries."
"Yes, Your Highness, you must at least think about your subordinates, and at least give them a chance to become nobles. Those strong men don't care about this, don't those grassroots soldiers and teenagers care? Even those dark elves want to
I want a stable family."
Only after we returned to the Northland and after we were able to walk in the sun, these knights kept nagging in my ears.
I can understand their feelings. They returned to their homeland but changed everything. They hoped that the Lan family could be revived and that the family they were loyal to could be passed down. But in the end, someone's words made me determined to rebuild the Lan family.
"Actually, I think Her Majesty Renee is very good as the future mistress of the Lan family. It is completely possible to split up the family and return to the original family. Even the palace can use the original one. That would be perfect."
Well, that's not it. I threw this bastard out of the third-floor window, and later I found out that he actually accepted Renee's benefits! Then I fined Renee a thousand sword swings.
"Your Highness, for our sake, with the Lan family, we can adopt an adopted son and pass down the martial arts and honor. In this way, our family will not be cut off, and our family will also have the meaning of inheritance!"
Looking around, it is not just one or two undead knights that are full of hope in the soul fire, but all the undead knights.
To be accepted by a living person and to pass on one's family with an adopted son is a beautiful dream that the royal knights of the Land of Arashi can't even dream of. Now they are only one step away from their dreams. How can these royal knights who value honor and inheritance endure?
Can bear it.
"You just need to take in your adopted son and rebuild your family. I won't affect you."
"Your Highness, who will the new family be loyal to? Whose descendants will our adopted son and future generations be loyal to?"
Well, in a sense, this means that the state officials did not set fires, but the people did not dare to light lamps... It seems that something is wrong there.
Even if it is just for the sake of the knights who have followed me loyally for so long, rebuilding the Lan family is necessary. Anyway, it is just a change of name and it will not affect me from doing my own thing. In the end, I agreed.
But let alone, just by announcing this news, the work enthusiasm of both living and dead people increased by at least 50%... I have to sigh, this is indeed a feudal society, and the traditional concepts are indeed deeply rooted.
"It seems that shared ideals are very important, but we do need a long-term meal ticket for material security..."
At this time, the power I summoned is all the new Lan family has. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
