Lord of the Oasis

In a very short period of time, Kant has completely controlled the Stone Pass.

And at this show-off banquet, the ambush from the Eastern Commandery was easily resolved, and the news that even the four great knights were captured without a hand, spread throughout the entire lion Principality in just half a month.

It became a matter of chatting and laughing for the nobles after dinner.

This accident happened too fast.

Let those nobles who were still sitting high on the stage have not reacted.

But when they reacted, they found that the situation had been easily grasped by Kant, and they easily tore a hole in their original arrangement.

No one expected it, including Ai Jiasha, the countess of the Eastern County, whose power is comparable to that of the Grand Duke of Lions!

Just like half a month ago.

The ugly performance at the end of the banquet was almost a joke.

When the aristocrats were talking about Kant's rise, they were horrified and apprehensive, but their eyes were also a little more playful, as if they were watching an opera worthy of attention.

It is also related to Countess Agatha.

After all, she is the sister of Cameron, the male lion.

Kant's aunt.

All belong to the royal family.

Therefore, some top nobles will not give up any repressive speech.

Although it won't have any effect, it is just in these rumors that it disgusts the royal family, deepens the contradiction between Kant and Countess Agatha, and eventually causes misunderstandings between the two sides, or even a battle.

It's a battle between the royal families.

It has nothing to do with ordinary nobles.

Look now.

Within the Principality of Lions, the East Commandery was independent from the traditional aristocratic circle, and was vaguely rejected by the nobles from the Northern Commandery and the Southern Commandery.

Although there is still business communication, political communication has been interrupted for nearly ten years!

The economy is the lifeblood that cannot be interrupted.

But there is no political exchange, or even mutual greetings.

It can be seen how rigid the relationship between the two parties is, even if Countess Agatha is the sister of Cameron, the male lion, and even once was the heir to the most advantageous position of the archduke.

Perhaps it is because of this relationship that the relationship between the two parties is extremely poor.

As for Kant.

The sensitive baron.

All the nobles are waiting in peace, watching and coveting his present rise.

Even some minor nobles have some expectations about Kant's rise when they talk in private, and in their impressions, it is also natural and should have risen.

It is derived from the second wife of Cameron, the princess from the Silver Plate Kingdom and the Duke of Lions.

Princess Sofia.

Only this princess, who has the support of the Silver Plate Kingdom behind her back, and even if she dies, has a legacy left behind, can she support and support such a powerful force in such a short period of time.

Even behind Kant, whether there is a shadow of the kingdom of silver plate, we must observe carefully.

But they have now also faced up to the rise of Kant.

This is a new force in the Northern Territory.

Master the salt trade and have a steady stream of wealth for the royal upstart!

Behind it is the legacy left by Princess Sophia from the Silver Plate Kingdom, a force that can make the entire lion principality vigilant, and an absolute force that can overturn any conspiracy!

After Princess Sofia died, the power she had was quickly disintegrated by the local nobles.

Now that I think about it, it might just be a cover-up for it to fall apart so quickly.

They are lurking.

while waiting.

Finally, when Kant was exiled and appeared in the Naron Desert, these forces appeared and successfully rescued the bloodline of the princess they used to be loyal to in the muddy swamp.

And go to glory, so that the entire lion Principality must face it.

A battle over the authority of the lion.

Coming soon.

That's why the nobles feel playful.

They can accept the rise of Kant, because this is the blood of Cameron the lion,

The second-in-line heir of the entire principality is the heir of great discipline and won the title of Grand Duke.

If Kant's eldest brother dies, he will become the grand ducal heir.

And in the lion principality, which established the country by force.

something like that.

Actually not many in history!

Just like the current male lion, Cameron, if he can ascend the throne, he has a very, very close relationship with Kant's biological mother, Princess Sophia from the Silver Plate Kingdom.

Although not explicitly documented.

But who of these nobles is the real fool can really not know.

Just pretending not to know.

At the beginning, the struggle for the throne of the Principality of the Lion was extremely fierce. Cameron, the Grand Duke of the Lion, just like Kant now, led the troops to seize his brother's first-in-line heir by force, and then silently supported him and provided money. And the support by force is Princess Sofia.

Even in the historical writings of some people, it is mentioned intentionally or unintentionally that if it weren't for the help of Princess Sophia, Archduke Cameron would definitely not be an archduke, and he might have died somewhere on the battlefield.

It is precisely because of Princess Sophia's help that the Grand Duke of the Lion Principality is Cameron's after all.

But exactly that.

Princess Sofia's help didn't come without a price.

The power of the Yinpan Kingdom began to infiltrate the Principality of Lions. It is estimated that it will not take long for the relationship between the two parties to reach an extremely close state, and even after a few years, it can become a United Kingdom.

This so-called alliance naturally means that the Principality of the Lion, as a vassal, joins the territory of the Silver Plate Kingdom.

Nobles are still those nobles.

Only the authority of the top nobles and the lion prince will be impacted.

This is also why, in the end, Princess Sofia fell ill and died suddenly, and the Principality of Lions also went to war with the Kingdom of Silver Plate. The blood that was fought on the banks of the Resniston River ten years ago eventually led to the current stalemate between the two sides.

The Silver Plate Kingdom did not dare to cross the Reisniston River easily.

On the plains, the cavalry group of the Principality of Lions is indeed powerful.

Even if the troops of the Principality of Lions can be defeated, the price of blood will be paid for the Kingdom of Silver Plate, and the benefits brought by conquering the Principality of Lions obviously cannot make up for this price.

This is one of the reasons for the stalemate between the two sides.

The nobles don't care.

They are indeed loyal.

But if the nobles above their heads are replaced, they can continue to choose allegiance.

The relationship between them is not that close. There are still struggles between these nobles. It would be great if they could use other forces to solve each other.

Even the royal family of the Principality of Lions thought so.

For example, the East County Collar.

Ten years ago, the East County Territory still had a castle and corresponding land on the south side of the Reisniston River.

However, because Cameron, the lion archduke, just took the throne, in order to stabilize the Kingdom of Silver Plate, he ceded the castle and land, but in fact the land was Countess Agatha, the fief of Cameron's sister. one.

In the end, it also led to the official replacement of the Winter Commandery with the Eastern Commandery.

It's like dividing the government.

The current male lion principality has already fallen into some kind of muddy internal friction.

This was the hidden danger left by Archduke Cameron when he succeeded to the throne, but it just happened to be delayed until now because of some tricks played by the Silver Plate Kingdom.

And it's still delaying.

Not only Countess Agatha of the East County Territory has her own system,

Even the Northern Commander is about the same!

You must know that the owner of Roger Castle in the North County Territory, Viscount Wayne, if it wasn't for the desolation here and the lack of a major economic support, he had to rely on the food of the South County Territory to live, and it is estimated that he would have already split off by himself.

But even if he was forbearing temporarily, the Archduke Cameron, who had already noticed it, inserted Viscount Kevin in.

For example Marsburg between the Lion Mountains and the Death Mountain.

The castle was like a nail, stuck between the plains where the two mountains met.

Even if the time comes, Viscount Wayne wants to contact the Countess Agatha of the East County Territory, he has to bypass this nail, but if he bypasses it, it will take more time and the journey will be long.

Not only is it inconvenient, but it may also be directly inserted by the troops led by Nanjun.

Cut off the connection with one knife and two sections!

Strategically, the plan of the Southern Commander was not wrong.

This is also why those nobles are still living their lives in peace and quiet, and they have not caused a civil strife that could hurt both parties due to the problems left over by history and the deliberate provocation of the Yinpan Kingdom.

They were all deadlocked, and as time passed, Cameron's wrist became stronger and stronger.

Eventually all problems will be resolved.

But.

Something went wrong.

The Naron Desert, which once seemed irrelevant, has emerged with new forces.

The exiled eldest duke and youngest son, Baron Kant, walked out of this barren desert, officially stepped on the stage, successfully stood on the stage, and greeted everyone proudly.

It's like slapping the face, slapping the faces of those nobles who once planned but are now gloomy and uncertain!

That banquet ended for nearly a month.

A steady stream of salt is being transported from the Stone Pass through the merchants to all the castles and cities in the Principality of Lions.

Whether it is the Northern Commandery, the Southern Commandery, or the closed Eastern Commandery, those nobles have obtained the salt of the white flowers through their own methods, which are extremely abundant and quite pure.

The highest quality, finest white salt!

Even the Yinpan Kingdom has seen traces of this salt.

As for the dwarf salt that was once purchased in the distant valley, almost all of the unsold markets that were hit at this time were on the verge of being eliminated in a short period of time, and they were about to leave the market.

The salt purchased from the dwarves is too expensive and extremely dangerous.

There are many tribes of barbarians in the wilderness passing by.

Every caravan has an accident.

On the other hand, the caravans in the Naron Desert only need to enter the hard stone pass, and they can purchase a lot of salt, and the price is extremely low. It is profitable to sell it several times, which can be the passion of many nobles.

Even the tax revenue of the entire Lion Principality has been doubled because of the salt trade!

Some nobles were excited.

But also some nobles are more gloomy.

Because with the ever-increasing trade in salt, there are more and more gangs of robbers roaming in the male lion duke.

Among them, there may be gangs of robbers specially arranged by some nobles for extra money, but more are from the outside world, such as the Silver Plate Kingdom, or the gang of robbers who came from the Resniston River and heard the news!

Of course, there are various forces behind it.

Interlaced complex.

Even the nobles of the entire Lion Principality need to use the noble court to contact each other and form a joint army to eliminate the gang of robbers in order to expel the robbers that appear from time to time in their own territory.

But because of this, those gangs of robbers with the support of local noble forces can always escape.

It's just that many nobles also discovered strange things.

I don't know when.

Just at the junction of the three counties of the Northern Territory, the Eastern Territory, and the Southern Territory, adjacent to the Marsburg where Viscount Kevin was located, a band of robbers whistling like a gust of wind quietly appeared and swept away any opposition.

It was a band of robbers made up of light cavalry.

There are about 1500 people.

The combat experience is rich, and the experience of looting is even richer.

If there are nobles who form a coalition army to conquer and suppress, this mysterious band of robbers will disappear between the plains, it seems to be hidden behind a hollow or a hill, and it is very cunning.

And when the coalition army is disbanded, it will reappear, looting many caravans.

Looting is not slaughter.

Rather, it draws.

As long as the caravan pays 5 golden eagles, it can be released, and it will also solve the threat of other robber groups for the caravan.

In the same short period of one month, not only was this bandit group not destroyed, but because of its good reputation, many caravans were willing to pay golden eagles in exchange for the next peace.

These caravans are all engaged in the salt trade.

After a trade trip, the profit of the caravan will never be less than 50 golden eagles.

The price of 5 golden eagles in exchange for peace, and the future will not be threatened by those more vicious bandits who slaughter caravans at every turn, is definitely worth the money.

If they are really encountered by those robber groups, it is estimated that the end will be lost.

But also regretful.

This group of light cavalry robbers is only responsible for the security of the area where the three counties are handed over.

Although in the past, the junction of these three counties was the most dangerous place, but now the gangs of robbers who were expelled from here happened to be scattered on the flat wasteland of the three counties.

It even poses a great threat to villages in some areas.

Indirectly affects the livelihood of the lords.

Of course, these are not what businessmen care about, it is enough to make money.

If they can hire this group of light cavalry now, it is estimated that some people have moved to hire these elite troops directly. As for gangs of robbers, there is no need to worry too much.

Some mercenary groups, in their spare time, will also serve as gangs of robbers.

This is normal.

It's just a pity that these light cavalry did not agree.

On the contrary, it sometimes disappears for a few days, and then mysteriously appears in some places in the North County Territory or the South County Territory, just like investigating or exploring the way, which really makes people feel weird.

However, in the face of the huge profits of the salt trade, not many people care about these strange things.

Or pay attention to the salt trade and business routes, and see if you can make money. The most important thing! ()
