Chapter 680: An embarrassing dilemma

Chauvin's Dominion, the name says a lot, is not a state, but merely a "self-administered territory", and even for quite a long time it was isolated from the diplomatic circle of the entire Northland.

In the fantasy world dominated by the feudal era, human lords and nobles are not only an identity, but also a responsibility for blood inheritance, and of course, a right.

In Ash, which has nothing to do with peace, the nobles have a series of enviable privileges, such as surrendering in time, they can generally save their lives, as long as they pay enough ransom, they can go home relatively decently, of course, this is only limited to the civil war between humans, which is also the reason why the human nobles will fight hard once they encounter an extra-racial war, and the battlefield will either die or I die, and the civil war will be relatively less intense

And another enviable privilege is probably to become a lord, only a nobleman, which is a helpless unspoken rule, but it is taken for granted by the world.

There are very few ways for commoners to become nobles, and the most reliable is to reclaim wasteland by force, and even if they succeed in opening up new territories, such pioneer knights are regarded as inferior, and it is impossible to enter the circle of great nobles until they are maintained for at least three or four generations.

And such a relatively closed class concept is widespread in all countries, and the intermarriage of nobles between countries has deepened the "circle culture", even if the country is overturned, the reality that local lords and nobles still exist, which greatly weakens the royal power, and often appears in the face of strong enemies, the royal family is still desperate, but the nobles have already surrendered to the enemy because of greater bargaining chips.

Aristocratic heraldry, which is only the study of the history, family coat of arms, blood inheritance, interests of the aristocracy, and inheritance rights of the nobles of various countries, has emerged as a specialized discipline. It takes years just to study. In a sense. It's really idle...... Ahem, it's a culture.

And the Chauvin, when it could not be called an independent state, the Khabal family, as the lords, was recognized by the noble circles of the Northlands, because of Gagalore. Hubor originated from the Arashi Kingdom and was once a local nobleman of the Arashi Kingdom at that time.

Things like history and the honor of our ancestors are not worth mentioning when you meet someone you don't recognize. But if it is thrown into the aristocratic circle where the honor of the ancestors is on the lips every day, it is really a thing.

Unlike the relatively stable central region of the continent, the history of the Northland aristocracy that has been tested many times is not long, the map of each country has changed and changed, and the family of three or four hundred years has a long history, and the Hubor family, which is inherited from the Lan country, was not recognized when the Lan clan declined, but when the Northland Lan clan re-emerged, it suddenly took a ride.

Therefore, even if it is only a lord of a Dominion. The "cunning fox" Gagalore dared to yell at the counts and marquis of various countries, mixed with the advantages of the landlord and the prestige of the past. The lords of the royal families really obeyed his command, sending their own bodyguards and mercenaries.

After all, this is not a civil war between human kingdoms, once the defense line is breached, the hungry beasts will not leave you dead because of your noble blood, on the contrary, the pampered noble children have fine skin and tender meat and a body full of fat.

"Damn, where the hell did these beast tides pop up, and the mercenaries have obviously dispersed all the beasts on the map."

In the face of the endless herd of beasts, the Chauvin Dominion has abandoned all the outer defenses, and the outer cities have been captured one by one, and the villagers who have not had time to move have no chance of surviving.

In front of the herd, the once well-known chauvinist guard corps and mercenaries behaved very badly, chaotic organization and lack of personnel, and the result of a long-term lack of training was that they did not even have weapons and equipment, and lost their lives in vain, and under the threat of wild beasts, there were even deserters.

The Chauvins used their own experience to teach all the Northland Lords present a lesson that even if they had entered a period of internal peace, they could not hand over the sword to others.

Of the more than 20,000 professional soldiers, less than 4,000 can actually play, but the collection of temporary mercenaries and bodyguards that have been patched together can easily form a team of 10,000 people.

This is actually very normal, there is a threat of beasts in the wild these years, it is normal for a noble lord to bring a hundred mercenaries and bodyguards, and hundreds of nobles can easily gather more than 10,000 armed forces, and they are all elite soldiers such as personal guard attendants, professional bodyguards, and mage consultants, and their combat power seems to be stronger than that of the regular army.

And it would be even better if he dared to wander around the entire Northland with one or two bodyguards, after all, it only showed that the strength of that one strong man was more than a hundred professional soldiers.

The more noble the person, the stronger the camouflage power around him, and many children of the royal family and the big nobles in the Chauvinist Territory are temporarily dispatched and organized as a line of defense, so it is better to find these people to save their lives.

Gagarol lived up to his reputation as a cunning fox, and he managed to find a way out of a desperate situation, and his own prestige and relationship with Lan Guo also made his call play a real role.

Now, thanks to the mercenaries and bodyguards brought by the lords from all over the world, with the advantage of the city wall, they have put together a temporary line of defense and successfully intercepted the advance of the beast herd.

But in the face of the endless tide of beasts in the wild, no one knows how long they can hold on, and the only thing they can count on is probably for reinforcements to come as soon as possible.

"Eagle Tribe? They must be the nearest reinforcements. ”

The barbarian tribes allied with the Chauvin, living in the mountains not far from Chauvin, were the most likely to arrive for reinforcements, but only Gagalore himself knew that trusted barbarian allies could not be counted on.

“…… Over the years, they have made a fortune selling ore, and most of them have moved to the big cities to enjoy the cold, and there are only a few miners in the mountains. ”

In a sense, what the barbarians will do when they make money is indeed worth discussing, and some people may think that they will use the gold coins to improve and repair their villages, but the barbarians of the Eagle tribe gave the most direct answer, and they took the money to the city to become local tyrants...... They are all rich, who is still shirtless and blowing the wind on the mountain.

"The surrounding tribes of brute elves and orcs? They should still have enough combat power, and we will pay them to help rescue them at any cost! ”

There are many mixed-race elements in the inhabitants of the Chauvin, but most of the people living in the city-states are half-breeds who have accepted a part of human culture, and those mixed-race tribes who advocate orc totem culture and elven mountain life are also scattered outside the city-states of the Chauvin.

They maintained a strange relationship with the Chauvin, often coming down to the city to buy daily necessities, but always refused to infiltrate and assimilate human culture.

Their combat power is extremely good, if it had been eight years ago, it would have been a good idea to ask them for help from the same roots, but now, Gagalore is full of remorse, regretting why he was so quick and so ruthless.

“…… Now there are still primitive barbarian tribes, all of which are open as tourist attractions in our tour plan, and all kinds of bandit cottages and tribal streets are well received by tourists, and those savage half-blood warriors ......"

“…… Won't they all be killed? Or was it expelled? ”

The squire's face was full of surprise, as the lord's guard, he had never heard of such a thing, could it be a bloody secret massacre?

"This was a thing of that era? Who still does this kind of thing in this year, instead of fighting and killing, it is better to get rich together, they take a huge amount of demolition compensation, and if they want to go to the elf side to buy a house and buy a household registration directly in the elf kingdom, anyway, they are not afraid of being bullied, and they want to experience the real orc life, so they directly take the money to the orc plain and go to the plain. I only received their letters a few months ago, and I lived like an emperor's life, and half-breeds could spend money to buy a chieftain, and I envied that little life. ”

In a sense, the Chauvinist Dominion has also risen, and the result of every inch of land around it is that everyone looks at the money together, and then the possible reinforcements around it are all "developed" and "opened" away.

The rest are the business people who make a fortune together, counting on the businessmen to go to war? That is outright murder.

As a lord, Gagalore may not be very qualified, but he is also recognized as a talented person in the Northlands...... A brilliant business genius, but now, he is full of helplessness and regrets not being at the beginning.

"I can only hope that Lan Guo will catch up, the fleet should be in time, no, for the gold coins that belong to me in the future, I must be in time to ......."-
