Chapter 563: The Discovery of Ancient Ruins
Another month had passed. During this month, the Dukedom of Leo was in a state of war. Every day, envoys would co to Lionheart City to see Kant. They were the envoys of the noble families in the dukedom, they ca with the oath of allegiance of the noble families in the East County. However, they did not see Kant.
It was precisely because of their betrayal that Kant was now so cold-hearted. In the blueprint of Kant’s new empire, there was no place left for the population of the native world. Perhaps at the beginning of this blueprint, Kant had left a place for them to survive on the land because of the kindness in his heart. However, the discovery of the world noble’s fiefdom, the demiplane, allowed Kant to determine the final destination of the population of the native world.
On the square of the large-scale Sargoth Fotress, another group of soldiers who had fought with the noble soldiers in the East County had leveled up. They had fought enough battles and accumulated enough experience points. At this mont, Baheshtur gathered them together and stood in a square formation.
In front of the square formation, there was a wide platform made of solid wood. In the middle of the platform, there was a burning silver brazier. At this mont, the Swadian Royal Knight, was standing beside the silver brazier on the platform. He was holding a thin piece of parchnt in his hand.
“Please welco, Your Highness Kant!” Mande said respectfully to the silver brazier and threw the parchnt into the silver brazier. There was nothing on the parchnt, but when it fell into the silver brazier, there were dark red complicated patterns on the parchnt. This was the parchnt on which Kant had written his real na in advance.
And throwing the parchnt that had his real na on it into the fire was the way he had set up to call his real na. Once the real na of the world noble was called, they could sense it. Kant had set up this way because the real na of the world noble could never be casually told to others. Because once soone had the real na of the world noble, they could directly control the world nobles through their real na. The world’s noble would also beco the other party’s slave. If the world noble did not want their real na to be directly destroyed by the other party’s verbal curse, and thus be beaten down to dust and demoted from a true extraordinary being.
Bang!
In the silver brazier, the flas suddenly increased in height, instantly turning into a deep red color. Imdiately after, these flas continuously swayed and changed, and finally, a deep red phantom of Kant was born. It only had the upper body and was completely ford from the deep red flas. The soldiers gathered under the high platform couldn’t see Kant’s appearance clearly, because Kant’s appearance was blurred by the rising dark red flas. However, on the face of this Kant phantom, two amber eyes were as bright as the stars, there were extrely complicated dark red patterns floating in it.
In the information room of the city lord mansion of Lionheart City, Kant was sitting upright on a tiger-skin chair. There were also complicated dark red patterns floating in his eyes. This was Kant’s newly discovered ability after his real na rged with his bloodline, it was the will projection.
In fact, Kant only needed to use the Power of War to construct his own figure. He could move and speak, but it was not a physical body and had no combat ability. However, since he designed the way to call his real na by burning the parchnt with his real na, Kant simply released the Power of War in the flas, indirectly combining the flas and the power of war to construct his own will projection.
The dark red flas ford Kant’s will projection. Looking at the gathered soldiers under the high platform, their troop class nas suddenly appeared in his mind — Swadian Militia. At this ti, Swadian Militia had the option to level up. Moreover, they had two leveling directions — Swadian Footman and Swadian Skirmisher.
“Level up!” Kant said in his mind. “All Swadian Militia will level up to the Swadian Footn!”
As Kant made his decision, a large black data chain was released from Kant’s eyes and wrapped around every Swadian Militia. The coarse linen clothes of the Swadian Militia were instantly replaced by leather armor, at the sa ti, the wooden spear in their hands was replaced by the exquisite Swadian Footman sword and heater shield. On their waists, a hunting crossbow and a crossbow quiver appeared.
Very quickly, all the Swadian militia were converted into the Swadian Footn. They would continue to be sent to the more powerful noble estate to fight against the more powerful noble soldiers of the noble estate and continue to accumulate experience points, waiting for the next ti they were gathered to level up. Baheshtur, as Kant’s general and the hero he summoned, could see whether the soldiers had accumulated enough experience points just like Kant, however, only Kant had the ability to level up the soldiers.
At this mont, on the high platform in front of the Swadian Footn, Kant’s figure ford from the dark red flas in the silver brazier suddenly shook violently and directly collapsed. The dark red flas quickly turned into bright yellow flas with a trace of crimson heat. The flas rapidly descended to their previous height and were still burning fiercely.
“Was that the Supre Lord Kant, our lord, our ruler, our Miracle King?” A Swadian Footman felt the surging power flowing from his body. This power was much stronger than before, much stronger. He asked the other Swadian Footman who had also completed his level up with extre respect.
“Yes, I’m really glad that I passed Drondheim’s recruitnt and could fight for the great Lord Kant. Many guys who are only a Swadian recruit have to go ho and train hard for two months if they want to be selected!” another Swadian Footman replied with a very happy tone.
…
In the information room of the city lord mansion of Lionheart City, Kant was carefully looking through the information about the upper-class noble families of South County that the spies had been searching for over a year.
There was a total of 97 upper-class nobles in South County, of which 16 were viscounts and 81 were barons. They were all families that had been passed down for more than 300 years. Most of them were once the founding noble families of the Dukedom of Leo. After 300 years of developnt, the strength of each upper-class noble that had survived to this day could not be underestimated. Moreover, the relationship between each of them was intertwined, and a single incident could affect all of them.
Among the 16 viscounts, two of them were far more powerful than the other viscounts. They were Viscount Porter and Viscount George. In terms of strength on the surface, they were not inferior to the four top counts. They all had the strength of ten grand knights. Noble families were such hypocrites. They all hid their true strength, just like how a poisonous snake hid its fangs, a lion and a tiger hid their claws and teeth. They would only reveal all the strength of their family when needed.
According to the investigation of Kant’s spies, these two Viscount Porter and Viscount George, who were regarded as the top-tier noble families in the Dukedom of Leo, had at least 100 grand knight level subordinates or clansn. The other 14 upper-level noble viscounts also had 30 to 50 grand knight-level subordinates. The average upper-level noble baron had between 10 to 30 grand knights in his family.
What limited the strength of these families’ grand knights was not the number of knights at the peak of knight-level, but the rare resources that were needed to advance from the peak of knight-level to grand knight-level. The stronger the family was, the more precious resources they would obtain. They would be able to let the grand knights in the family guide more knights at the peak of the Knight Realm to advance to the Grand Knight Realm.
Moreover, these upper-class noble families with ancient inheritances obviously could not use all the precious resources they had obtained. They would definitely keep so as reserves. Therefore, if they were to calculate seriously, the number of grand knights of these upper-class noble families should be doubled.
At least 5000 grand knights.
This number was even a conservative number because the spies belonging to Kant might not be able to detect all the powers of those noble families.
Kant currently had more than 3000 soldiers with extraordinary powers, including 1000 mages of the Enfath Empire.
The Sword of the King could continuously bestow the Swadian Knight as the Swadian Royal Knight, but it required a large amount of reputation. The Sarleon Lion Knights had an extrely perfect training and training system for soldiers. As long as it was a level-4 cavalry, they could eventually be trained by the Sarleon Lion Knights to beco the Sarleon Lion Knights, but it would take ti. As for the apprentice dormitories, they could allow Kant to continuously recruit mage apprentices. After the war, they could quickly advance to beco the mages of the Enfath Empire.
It seed that the number of soldiers with extraordinary powers that Kevin possessed was less than the number of grand knights that the upper-class noble families, excluding the four top noble families and the Caron family, combined. However, the Power of War was not so easy to calculate. Kevin’s soldiers with extraordinary powers were directly upgraded by the system. At the sa ti, they possessed extrely powerful battlefield experience. Therefore, they were completely capable of crushing ordinary grand knights, they were even on par with the peak grand knights of this world.
Therefore, although the power of the upper-class noble families looked terrifying, it was nothing to Kant. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had to consider the factors of the five great world noble families, Kant would have already taken down the East County, and he would have already started to take down the South County.
With the addition of the five great world noble families, Kant was currently working hard to send spies into the demiplane that the five great world noble families were conferred. He wanted to figure out how powerful the five great noble families were.
Like the saying, ‘Knowing yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles’.
In any case, Kant would only beco stronger and stronger as ti passed. Therefore, he could train his troops in the East County while waiting for the results of the spies’ investigation. If they really could not find out anything, it did not matter. Kant would then take the initiative to start a war. With the system, he was not afraid of war. The only reason he did so now was to reduce the losses as much as possible. Because Kant had decided to lead his troops to reclaim the demiplane fiefdom in Nahrin Desert after completely occupying the Dukedom of Leo. It was definitely not as easy as conquering the Dukedom of Leo.
After studying the information of the upper-class noble families in the South County, Kant went to the sand table in the side hall of the city lord mansion. Facing the sand table, Kant started to deduce the war against the South County.
There were three routes for the war against the South County. First, he would directly send troops from Lionheart City and fight all the way until he occupied the entire South County. However, this route would first have to face the Caron family’s Lion Fort.
Secondly, the troops in Lionheart City would not move. Instead, he would send troops from the center of the South County, Jelkala, and fight all the way until he occupied the entire South County. However, this route required a large number of troops to be deployed to Jelkala. Currently, Jelkala only had 5,000 soldiers guarding it.
On the other hand, Lionheart City and Jelkala worked together to pincer the remaining half of the South County. If they did so, they would have to face the problem of route 1 and route 2 at the sa ti. However, the advantage was that the two parallel routes could be pushed forward quickly, it would greatly shorten the war process.
Just as Kant was thinking about which war route to choose, a Swadian Royal Knight walked over and said to Kant, “Lord, Viscount Porter and Viscount George ca together, claiming that they want to pledge their allegiance to you!”
“Viscount Porter and Viscount George, the two most powerful viscounts among the upper-class nobles, actually want to pledge their allegiance to ?” Kant seed to have heard sothing ridiculous. The East County was being treated as a place for him to train new recruits. The East County’s noble families were suffering unspeakably and would continuously send envoys to express their desire to seek refuge with him. This was sothing that Kant could understand. After all, in their situation, it was as if they were in a desperate situation, no matter what thod was used, there was no harm in giving it a try. If Kant agreed to their allegiance, wouldn’t they be able to avoid the ravages of the flas of war?
However, the sudden defection of Viscount Porter and Viscount George was very confusing. Because until now, all the nobles who intended to pledge allegiance to Kant, Kant had expressed his refusal, except for those noble emissaries from the eastern county who had been left out.
Under such circumstances, if Viscount Porter and Viscount George still dared to pledge allegiance to him, it was simply asking for humiliation. Kant would not act as if he was willing to pledge his allegiance to them just because they were so top-notch nobles of the Dukedom of Leo.
“A family that is able to develop to the level of a top noble of the Dukedom of Leo under the suppression of the four top counts and the Caron family should be able to easily see that I do not accept anyone’s pledge of allegiance!” Kant narrowed his eyes slightly, Viscount Porter and Viscount George’s actions were really bringing sha upon themselves.
Lionheart City was not like the other cities of Kant. they did not care about the population of this world and would expel them at any ti. Instead, Lionheart City had been as open as before, the population of any country and power in this world would be easily approved if they wanted to settle down here. Therefore, after Viscount Porter and Viscount George left the city lord mansion this ti, there would probably be rumors about them kissing Kant’s cold butt. This was a great humiliation for the two viscounts.
Kant did not believe that the two viscounts would not notice such a simple thing. There were also things that could make a noble suffer humiliation. There were such things, and the conditions were not high, as long as they could bring them enough huge benefits.
Anything out of the ordinary was a demon.
In the main hall of the city lord mansion of Lionheart City, Kant sat at the head of the table.
“Lord Kant, Viscount George and I have jointly explored an ancient ruin and discovered a treasure. However, Viscount Carl. Caron and the four counts of the South County have jointly threatened us to hand over the treasure to them! Our two families’ influence is not smaller than theirs. We really cannot tolerate the five families bullying us like this. In all of the Dukedom of Leo, only Lord Kant’s power can easily crush the power of our two families, so we want to join you and ask for your protection. For this, we are willing to offer you the treasure that all five families want to seize.”
