Fief?

This word is too sensitive, and Jiang can't help it!

In this world, the status of the nobility is high, and it is not the title that is decisive, but the fief. With {dream} small ◢.1a

Whoever has the largest hereditary fief will have the most resources, population, and wealth, and there are not a few barons, viscounts, and even counts who are poor, have lost their fiefs, and whose wealth is not as good as that of a petty trader!

The reward that Duke Choraci wanted was much more precious than money.

Jiang Zao's eyes narrowed slightly: "You want a fiefdom?" The League of Assassins intends to move from the world of darkness to the light? Did you know that if you do become the Duke of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, you will be labeled as the Kingdom of Lordaeron in the future, and the League of Assassins will no longer be able to remain neutral! ”

"I am me, and the League of Assassins is the League of Assassins. Marquis Nicholas, don't mix it up. The League of Assassins walks in the world of darkness, but every member of the Alliance lives in the light, and everyone here has an upright identity, and so do I. By the way, I also believe in the Holy Light, and I pray sincerely every day, but unfortunately the Holy Light never favors me. ”

Duke Jorazi made a joke that was not funny, and said lightly: "Ravenhold Manor is the property of the Ravenhod family, what does it have to do with the Assassin Alliance?" But don't you think, as a duke, that's too little of an inheritance? I have children, and there will be many more, and I don't want my children to be just a duke in name! ”

"Less? I don't think the Assassin League, or the Ravenhold family, secretly controls any less wealth and estate than any other duke, right? ”

Jiang Zao pointed out: "Besides, the gold content of you, the duke, is much higher than that of most dukes!" ”

"The Marquis laughed, no matter how much property the Ravenhold family has, is it still comparable to the huge Lordanemere Lake?"

Duke Choraci straightened his body, his eyes were blazing, and he stared at Jiang Zheng: "If the Syndicate and Fort Riptide are cleared, then the Alterac Mountains, the Hillsbrad Hills, and even the entire Arathi Highlands will become Lordaeron's territory!" Lordaeron's territory will be expanded unprecedentedly, and Lordaeron will also become the largest human kingdom after the Alaso Empire, this credit is enough to exchange for a duke-level fief, right? ”

Jiang Zai was startled, then narrowed his eyes and fell silent.

Duke Choraci was right.

The Hills Bled Hills were nominally Lordaeron's domain, but the Syndicate had been active in the northern region, and Lordaeron had no power to take care of it.

The Arathi Highlands are the domain of the Kingdom of Stormgard, and the Wall of Soladin divides that area into two worlds. But now that King Solas is dead, Prince Garin has become a patricide, Danas Torbain has not returned from the Outlands, and the Kingdom of Stormgard has no suitable successor, how could Lordaeron give up this golden opportunity once Fort Riptide is breached?

Kalia, Uther, and the Marquis of Lawrence will find a way to bring the Arathi Heights into Lordaeron's territory!

In this way, more than half of the entire Lordaeron continent has fallen into the hands of the Lordaeron Kingdom, and Lordaeron will become a veritable first kingdom, and even the land area is larger than Stormwind City, Dalaran, Kurtilas, and Gilneth combined!

The first credit must be Jiang Zheng's, but the second credit must be the Assassin Alliance.

There is no doubt that once this matter is achieved, Jiang Zheng and Duke Choraci are the biggest contributors to Lordanlun's expansion of territory, and the dukedom will definitely not be able to run!

Speaking of which, Duke Chorazi's request was not excessive.

The question is......

"Duke, which fief do you want?" Jiang Zai calculated in his heart that there were some places that must not be allowed.

Duke Choraci was obviously prepared, took out the map, drew a circle at the foot of the mountain west of Ravenhold Manor, and then looked up at Jiang Zai and said nothing.

Jiang Zai's face instantly turned cold!

The area painted by Duke Choraci is 10,000 square kilometers, larger than the entire Fenris Islands combined, and only a quarter smaller than Lake Lordanmere!

In addition to a number of villages and farms, there are also Tunhold Castle and the town of Talenmere.

Rather than Dunhold, Castle was once the largest orc shelter, about the size of Barov Castle on Keldaron Island. After Thrall conquered there, he used seismic techniques to turn the entire castle into ruins, and there were no people living in it at all, but there were many elemental creatures entrenched, and no one should enter it.

Talenmir is different.

After the town of Southsea was destroyed twice by the Scourge Legion, Talenmere had become the largest human settlement in the entire Hillsbrad Hills, with a total population of more than 50,000, even more than the Valley of the Hearth. Although the alien population will definitely gradually be lost as the undead entrenched in this area are cleared, after stabilization, 30,000 people will definitely not be able to escape.

The town of 30,000 people is no less than the former counties of Andohal and Dalong. Coupled with the surrounding villages, farms, such a large fiefdom, and such a population, Duke Choraci's appetite is not small at all!

There is no city in the entire Hillsbrad Hills, and Talenmere is the most likely city to be built into one, and will also be the economic center and trade center of the entire Hillsbrad Hills. Mastering there is equivalent to mastering half of the Hillsbrad Hills, which is no small matter!

"Your Lord, your appetite is too great! I'm afraid it's not up to me to decide this. ”

Jiang Zai thought for a moment and shook his head slightly: "Maybe you should go and talk to Her Majesty in person." But I think if the Lord Regent finds out about this, he might come and kill you with the Silver Hand Hammer and all the paladins! ”

Duke Choraci obviously didn't take Jiang Zheng's threat to heart, and shook his head with a smile: "The relationship between the Marquis and Her Majesty the Queen, is there anyone else in the entire Lordaeron who doesn't know?" The whole of Lordaeron, what else is the Marquis you can't decide? ”

Don't say this kind of thing in the future, let alone publicize it. Otherwise, if Uther doesn't trouble you, I'll have to trouble you. ”

Jiang Zheng thought about it, and after a brief measurement, he suddenly felt that Uther might not object, Marquis Lawrence would be 100% in favor, and Kalia was about to ask for her opinion.

The question is, how important is the Alliance of Assassins when it comes to expanding territory?

If the Assassin League didn't help, Lordaeron wouldn't have captured the Arathi Heights and the Alterac Mountains, and it would have been difficult to reclaim the food.

Neither Dreadlord is a fuel-efficient lamp. After Banazar was kicked back into the Twisted Void, they must have been more careful, Riptide Castle is not a good place, the ruins of Alterac City are in danger, although the two kingdoms have declined, but the heritage is still there, around the Alterac Mountains, I don't know how many shadow mages are entrenched.

It's not that easy to deal with.

Moreover, time is a big issue.

The people of Lordaeron don't have time to wait, then Lordaeron doesn't have time to wait, and within three months at the latest, the food must be recovered, otherwise they will be hungry and there will be chaos!

Duke Choraci saw this, and only then did the lion open his mouth.

There's something even more terrifying:

If Duke Choraci is rejected today, will the League of Assassins become an enemy of Lordaeron?

Today, Jiang Zai has seen the terrifying power of the Assassin Alliance.

A small Ravenhold manor, the number of big professionals, even more than the entire city of Lordaeron! And that's certainly not all, the League of Assassins has people all over the world.

Once this dark organization is fully exerted, Lordaeron is afraid that for tens or hundreds of years, he will not even want to expand his territory, or even want to keep his current territory, it will be a problem.

After thinking about it carefully, it seems that I can only say yes.

And if you think about it seriously, Duke Choraci didn't open his mouth widely.

The territory that the Assassin League was going to help Lordaeron get was twenty times larger than the fief that Duke Choraci had requested!

Even if the League of Assassins only took half of the credit, it would be reasonable to get such a fief.

"I will report your request to Her Majesty, and I think someone will talk to you in three days at the latest. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Marquis Lawrence himself. As far as I know, the Marquis Lawrence is also a big customer of yours? ”

Jiang Zai stood up, looked in the northwest direction, and said lightly: "Someone from Eagle's Nest Mountain is here, I should leave too!" Lordaeron's current national policy is to reward meritorious deeds, and if the Duke really wants to get what you want, don't be too slow! ”

With a roar, the bone dragon lifted into the air.

Jiang Zheng jumped up, landed firmly on the back of the Nightmare, carried his sword in his hand, and headed south.

Looking at Jiang Zheng's departing figure, the smile on Duke Chorazi's face disappeared, replaced by an unusually dignified one.

"Nicholas was right, if you want to get what I want, you have to have enough credit! Hehe, you're going to Riptide Castle? I forgot to tell you that there is a fourth force in Riptide Castle! There's no fun! ”

Duke Choraci turned his head to look at the rapidly approaching Hammer Griffin Knights, smiled slightly, and then turned his gaze to the northwest, which was the direction of the Alterac Mountains:

"In a month, the syndicate will cease to exist!"
