On the Yuansheng Continent, the Tello Kingdom is a small country. But the country is small, but its location is quite important.

To the south of the kingdom of Tello is the endless Moon Ring Forest. And deep in the woods, there are scattered elven tribes.

To the west of the kingdom of Tello, thousands of miles away, behind the sunset plains, is the kingdom of orcs living in barren land.

Therefore, the Tro Kingdom is actually at the forefront of the human race's defense against the two major alien races. And the Black-Eyed Castle is precisely the front line of the front.

Because of this, the kingdom of Tro has a force disproportionate to the size of its territory. And this force is also composed of two parts.

Some of them are the kingdom's armed forces, but the kingdom's armed forces are mainly composed of large and small lords' private soldiers. Once there is war in the kingdom, a "conscription order" will be issued to the lords, and the lords will lead their private soldiers to unite and form the kingdom's army. Of course, the number of private soldiers recruited by lords of all levels, the training of private soldiers, the command and logistics of the royal ** team, and the reward and punishment mechanism for military merits all have certain laws and conventions, and there are many rules and regulations, and they are also a little complicated, so I will not be verbose here.

It can be seen that in fact, the kingdom of Tro can be seen as an alliance of lords, and the king is the largest lord and alliance leader in the kingdom.

In this way, it is actually very beneficial for the kingdom's warfare. A very simple truth is that when the enemy army passes through a certain lord's territory, that lord must mobilize all his strength to resist it, right?

Of course, there are always pros and cons to everything. With such a system, there is no centralization of power in the kingdom. And the lords of the kingdom, in their own territories, have undoubtedly become the "soil emperors" who hold the power of life and death.

And the other part of the Tello Kingdom is armed with mercenary groups large and small in the territory. Due to the proximity to the Moon Ring Forest and the Orc Kingdom, whether it is hunting demonic beasts or guarding trade, there are extremely high profits, so the Tello Kingdom is also a gathering point for mercenary groups.

However, according to the agreement, all mercenary groups that enter the Tro Kingdom will be called up in wartime to obey the command of the kingdom. Correspondingly, those mercenary groups also have good benefits such as low taxes in the kingdom, so they can be regarded as having their own place!

Of course, there are two armed forces in the Kingdom of Tro that are not under the control of the kingdom, that is, a wing of the Holy Knights of the Holy See (2,000 knights, plus nearly 10,000 knights, knight attendants, magicians and clergymen), and a wing of the Knights of the Jewel Flower of the Verona Empire, the suzerainty of the Tro Kingdom (the establishment is basically the same as that of the Holy See).

Externally, these two forces also fought in cooperation with the Tello Kingdom. But the more important role is nothing more than - control. In terms of religion and force, the subject kingdom of Tello was tightly controlled.

And such a deformed system has also caused an imbalance in the military force of the Tello Kingdom. The prominent table is that there are more swordsmen and fewer magicians.

Due to the existence of various semi-independent territories, the kingdom has no way to select magic apprentices for the whole people, after all, not all lords have the power of magicians. On the contrary, it is the swordsman, but it has reached the universal popularity, and that is because the lords also want to establish their own private troops.

Let's take Tipu as an example!

The town where Dipu used to live had its own peasant self-defense unit. In peacetime, law and order can be maintained, but in wartime, troops will be drawn from the Self-Defense Forces to become the lord's private soldiers.

And in the Self-Defense Forces, there are several instructors. They also train all the kids in the town as basic swordsmen.

Therefore, Dipu's martial arts are fundamental. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Great Sword Master of Luo Lin to come to the sky pavilion, and it would be impossible to train Dipu to this level in such a short period of time.

But on the other hand, the children in the small town have the potential to become magicians, and they are still blind. Because there is no one to choose or teach, so Dipu was lucky to meet Teacher Natasha, and he was indeed lucky to have shit luck.

Because of this, the Tro Kingdom treats magicians quite generously. It has also far surpassed other countries on the continent.

And such a lucrative treatment is also conditional, that is, to become - a kingdom magician.

Since they are kingdom magicians, the allegiance of these magicians must be the king of the Tello Kingdom. And the territory owned by the magicians has a diluting and restraining effect on those hereditary lords (the titles and territories of the magicians are not hereditary).

In a nutshell: this treatment is killing two birds with one stone, and it was the king of the Tro kingdom in order to strengthen his rule over the kingdom.

And the Blackeye Collar is one of the most prominent military forts in the kingdom. Once the orc kingdom or the elven army invades, it will play the role of dispersing the enemy army and giving early warning.

Although twelve years ago, the Humans' Light Cult, the Orc's Divine Comedy Shaman, and the Elven High Priest used their lives to compose the "Oracle Armistice", leading to the cessation of all major wars on the continent. But in this place, there will inevitably be bandits and orcs and elves in the sunset plain, so what should Dipu do when the time comes?

According to the kingdom's decree, a lord who cannot fully defend his territory will not only be deprived of his territory, but will also be severely punished. The crime of fleeing without a fight will be more severe. So the rights and duties of the lord are complementary.

Listening to the Vicky Magus talking, Dipu was actually wondering in his heart: Why did he mean that he would not accept this black-eyed castle? Since this black eye collar is a piece of wasteland, it shouldn't matter if you go to the poor toss yourself? Maybe there will be some unexpected gains. And the kingdom and the mage's guild will not suffer any way. At most, it's still a piece of rotten ground like now.

So when the Vicky Magus had finished speaking, Dipu immediately cast his deceptive, childish-looking and innocent face. With an innocent expression on his face and an innocent look in his eyes, he asked as if he was a little confused: "Master, you are well-informed, can you teach me?" What should I do?"

If it was Natasha, who was familiar with Dipu, she would definitely be vigilant when she saw this innocent expression, because ...... I've suffered too many losses.

The magician didn't know that he was really blinded, so he thought about teaching the juniors: "Actually, the kingdom magicians don't necessarily have to be territorial, they can also let the kingdom manage it." There are some escrow fees to pay, but there is no hassle at all. ”

"Kid, your magic skills aren't high, but your Natasha teacher will always give you a position. In this way, you can practice with peace of mind and have no worries, which is much better than asking for this black-eyed castle. ”

"Kid, just think about it! Because I learned from Master Kobe, you are also my junior, so I will explain it to you clearly. Otherwise, I'll take it as business and give you this black-eyed castle. ”

After listening to the words of the Vicky Magus, Dipu also understood, he dared to express his wrong feelings just now, and the Vicky Magus was still really good for himself!

And the construction proposed by the Vicky Magistus, Dipu also knows some of it, and it is indeed the truth.

Of the more than 300 kingdom magicians in the Tello Kingdom, about half of them have indeed chosen to let the kingdom manage the territory. Except for some other special reasons, these magicians are unwilling to waste their time on the governance of their territory, and are bent on magic cultivation and magic research. For example, Natasha-sensei is like that. And those people are the magicians commonly known as the "liberals".

And, of course, there are magicians who pursue extreme freedom. They even only reached the level of the Wizards' Guild, but they did not become Kingdom Magicians at all. And there are nearly a hundred such magicians, and they are the so-called folk magicians.

However, although the construction of the Vicky Magus was good, the actual intention of Dipu was not in the territory. He didn't waste any time asking how much escrow fees he needed, and asked the Wizard of the Vicky directly, "Master, after escrow, can I have the lord's coat of arms?"

On the Yuansheng Continent, every nobleman who has his own territory has his own family coat of arms. And the coat of arms will spread throughout the continent through the noble courts of the guò countries, as a basis for the nobles to deal with each other. And it was this coat of arms that Tipu actually wanted most of all.

However, the Vicky Magus was asked by Dipu in a somewhat inexplicable way. Is it so important for a little baron to break the coat of arms? And the baron Dip is not hereditary, and it will be canceled in the future, isn't this taking off his pants and farting - is it too much?

So the Vicky Magus frowned and said, "Without the territory, of course there is no coat of arms." Remember, child, that we magicians are much more noble than those of the little nobles. ”

Since that is the case, Dipu has no choice. Besides, Teacher Natasha had just expelled herself from the school, and Dipu had nowhere to go. So Dip pretended to be squirming and squirming, and decided in a hurry: "......Master! I still want to give it a try. ”

Dip's words immediately choked the Vicky Magus. Thinking that he had said so much bitterly, this disciple of Natasha was still an elm head. A hint of contempt could not help but appear in the eyes of the Vicky Magus. Not only because of Tipu's low level of magic, but also because of Dipu's inadequacy.
