In the eyes of the surrounding nobles, Baron Ryan is a madman and a potential blasphemer.
So they were far away, and Baron Ryan was able to have a wide field of vision.
The death of King is like pressing the pause button on the world, and no one knows what to do next.
They waited, and then the whole kingdom was filled with cries and howls. The nobles were extremely sad about the death of King. A large number of nobles went directly to the royal city, knelt on the ground in front of the pipe, and howled loudly.
Ryan was also there, but he did not cry or kneel in front of the pipe. As a guest of Imperial Noble, he stood far away and watched the nobles of this kingdom perform impromptu performances.
Perhaps the sadness of most nobles is real, but the expressions of some of them are really exaggerated.
People from the empire came, and people from the Church also came, so almost all the noble territories in the land of South sent people to express their condolences.
All this happened in just one week. Within one week, everything stopped, and the war seemed not to have happened. Ryan even saw Viscount Fragoso, who had a lonely face, shedding sincere tears.
"Baron Ryan."
A tall, blond man with blue eyes came to Ryan's side. The two stood side by side, looking at the cry inside the Royal Palace.
"Prince Volvo."
Ryan's aristocratic etiquette is in place, because this is the representative of the empire, the emperor's successor, one of the three Elector of the Flor Royal Family.
His status is second only to the emperor in the empire, and he can be on an equal footing with Four Grand Dukes.
"It's too late to talk about Baron Ryan's reputation, but now that I think about it, it still feels incredible."
"Single-handedly, he changed the structure of the entire empire Northwind Province."
"Baron Ryan You are even more outstanding than your father."
"Your Highness praised me."
Ryan didn't know what this guy was planning, so he focused on the Church Pope in the distance.
Well, Pope is the representative of the Church. He may not come when King is crowned, but he will also appear when King dies.
It is also because of the appearance of this Pope and the troublemaker Hernan. I don't know where they are hiding. Otherwise, I am afraid they would be found and buried with King of Andara by now.
He is the most powerful human being on the Norris Continent, bar none.
"Two years later, I will hold a wedding with my fiancée, and Baron Ryan must come then."
Volvo·Columbus said this. Ryan was a little unclear, but it was hard to refuse such a thing.
"I will definitely go there then."
Let's talk about it then.
As Elector of the empire left the kingdom, Pope of Church of Dawn also left here. From beginning to end, no one saw any communication between him and Pastor Soto, and that Legion Commander Eiffel.
It seems that he came here simply because of the death of King.
The empire and the Church left, and the representatives of the nobility in the land of South also left one after another. As a result, only the nobles of the kingdom who were caught in the war were left on this land again.
"Elector Your Highness has brought the order."
Legion Commander Farrell also appeared next to Ryan. He had disappeared before, seemingly to avoid meeting Prince Volvo.
Or maybe they met when others were unknown to them.
For example, the arrival of this order.
"His Majesty the Emperor ordered Northwind Province to form an army. On the grounds of helping King take revenge and clean up the heretics outside the light, Prince Adams who helped the royal family became the new King of the kingdom."
"Soon Adams will write a letter to Marquis of Northwind asking for his help."
Ryan has a weird expression.
"Marquis of Northwind is still in the stomach."
"Of course, so this letter is for Marquis's Mother. She will respond on behalf of Marquis, assemble Northwind Province's army and come to the kingdom."
"This Adams..."
Ryan walked out of his residence and looked at a young man whose eyes were red from crying on the street outside.
"That's him, right?"
Ryan couldn't help but shook his head. In his opinion, among the royal highnesses in the kingdom, Hernan turned out to be the best performer, and the rest... couldn't be described as waste.
For example, this Adams, what he likes most is to watch the combination of Beauty and the Beast in public.
Literally, lock a woman and a ferocious beast in a cage, and then watch the bloody scene and become intoxicated.
This is just one of his many evil deeds.
"This is the emperor's order. We cannot change it. All we need is a King of Andara that is opposed to the Church."
Two more days have passed, and the nobles in the kingdom have returned to their respective homes. The impact of King's death will not end so easily, but it will no longer be in this superficial form.
When the nobles came to the royal city, they probably wanted to see if there were any outstanding new King members of the royal family who could keep them loyal.
Ryan feels that the result should not be so friendly.
Even though those princes and highnesses have tried their best to express themselves in the past few days, in the eyes of some mature nobles, they are really full of loopholes and have incompetence written on their faces.
Nobles have their own circles. If these old nobles see it, most of them will get the answer.
Ryan didn't know what choice he would make, but Ryan received the news when Grand Duke McReynolds's Domain was here.
"Three days later, Pastor Soto will crown Prince Damian, and he will become Andara Kingdom's new King."
"That twelve-year-old kid?"
Old King's youngest child, twelve years ago, he could still climb into a woman's bed, so he had this little guy.
"Didn't you say Adams?"
Ryan is a little confused, and Legion Commander Farrell is also a little irritable. Obviously, in the Andara Kingdom, the Church's influence here far exceeds that of the empire.
"The new King has appeared. He should gather his army to avenge Hernan. It is said that Hernan has recently emerged in the north, claiming that he is King of Andara, and has gained the allegiance of some slaves and civilians."
Roland was speechless, while Otto next to him couldn't help laughing.
"You don't know that after Hernan killed Old King, Royal Palace only lost three things."
"King's crown, King's robe, and Andara Royal Family's badge ring."
Hernan just took these three things away secretly. If it weren't for the issue of faith, I'm afraid many people would now think that this is the true successor of Old King's arrangement.
"King was selected by the Church. The nobles won't be too convinced, right?"
The Church can influence King's position, but cannot absolutely control that position. This will cause a backlash in the kingdom, but Pastor Soto obviously can't control that much now.
He must support the emergence of the new King as soon as possible, and then assemble the army under King's order to kill Hernan, resolve the disputes in the royal family, and the internal attacks on him by the Church.
The method is a bit rough, but if it succeeds, it is still a good choice.
Cutting the knot with a quick knife, even if there will be countless troubles later, it will no longer be a trouble for the Church.
"What did the Grand Duke say?"
Ryan looked at Roland and Otto. The two looked at each other and shook their heads.
"My father locked himself in the study and never came out."
"In the middle of the war, his opponent died. This probably made the Grand Duke very boring. He didn't even really plant the flag of victory in front of Old King."
Farrell understands Grand Duke McReynolds's emotions better. The war suddenly became overwhelming and he seemed a little overwhelmed.
A new King is about to be born. Ryan is not sure whether the emperor will take back the order, but he is still ready to bid farewell and return to Northwind Province to become the commander of the army.
He didn't want others to be in charge of his soldiers.
But just when he was saying goodbye to Grand Duke McReynolds, a piece of shocking news came, which made Ryan stunned. The nobles of the kingdom were even caught off guard.
"Damian, died in his palace."
Prince Damian, who was to be crowned in two days, was immersed in the joy of becoming King for only one day before he died.
"No one knows how he died, because he was not killed by a weapon, but seemed to be killed by a blood curse."
Hernan.
Only that guy has this method, because he becomes the container for the arrival of Surtr, Great Being.
"His vessel needs an identity, and his identity during the day is also noble, the more power he can bring down."
Grand Duke McReynolds finally walked out of the study, he said, he already knew a lot about Twilight Deities.
"So, he must help Hernan become King of the Andara Kingdom. His identity as a prince can only allow him to fight against Legendary, but his identity as King allows him to bring down the power of Demigod."
Ryan said nothing. He looked at Grand Duke McReynolds and felt that the Grand Duke Legendary seemed to have changed.
Grand Duke McReynolds's Domain, with the death of Damian, the coalition of nobles was completely shattered, and each one returned to his own home.
The death of Old King left the nobles confused, the war came to a standstill, and the death of the successor made the nobles completely disappointed with the royal family. They didn't know who to be loyal to, so they would just wait for the royal family to make its own decision, and then they would swear allegiance.
On the contrary, Grand Duke McReynolds here, more than a dozen nobles gathered in the Grand Duke's mansion.
They are the nobles who followed the Grand Duke to fight against Kingdom Allied Forces. They were sitting in front of the Grand Duke nervously at this moment.
On both sides of Grand Duke McReynolds, Otto and Roland were sitting. Visibly to the naked eye, Roland's expression was a little stiff, while Otto's expression became excited.
They knew what was going to happen.
The nobles were uneasy and curious because the Grand Duke usually did not call them over. After all, they all belonged to Viscount Baron, and they had no status or strength that could catch the Grand Duke's eye.
Ryan and Farrell were also in this meeting. They were spectators. Farrell was a little melancholy. His Legendary dream seemed to be broken, and no new orders came from the emperor. Rampaging Elephant Legion didn't know what to do.
Ryan guessed that the Grand Duke had made a choice and was preparing to replace Andara Royal House and become the new King of this land.
But no matter what kind of psychological activity it is, today's moment represents Grand Duke McReynolds, the "Wind Emperor" of Legendary, who has made a choice between the chaos of the kingdom and the death of King.
"I will gather my troops and face Carlos to the south."
Grand Duke McReynolds said this, which surprised everyone present except the two heirs.
No one spoke, and the Grand Duke's voice continued, calm and majestic, with a hint of unquestionability.
"I will build a new kingdom on this land in the name of MacReynolds and with the glory of my ancestors."
As soon as these words came out, all the nobles stared at Grand Duke McReynolds in shock. They were in disbelief. At this moment, they did not care about their status and looked at Griffin Grand Duke.
"I will attack Carlos in the south and bring four territories under my control, plus Griffin Mountains, plus the territories of each of your nobles. Perhaps some nobles from the kingdom will become my followers in the future."
"These lands will become the new kingdom territory."
"The name of this kingdom is Sera. This name is the name of MacReynolds's first ancestor, Sera·MacReynolds."
"From now on, MacReynolds will no longer be loyal to the Andara Royal Family."
Until the Grand Duke finished everything, the rest of the people still didn't react, including Ryan, who was also shocked by the Grand Duke's decision, not to choose Andara Kingdom's new royal family, but to build his own kingdom.
He could almost imagine that when this matter was passed on, there would be a new storm in the land of South.
The death of Andara Old King is the rebirth of the new Sera Kingdom.
Fortunately, Old King died first, otherwise he would have been so angry at this news that the Church and Holy Radiance wouldn't be able to save him.
"What are you doing? You were not afraid of death when you fought with us against King. Why are you looking like this now?"
The speaker was Otto. He was very excited and yelled at the nobles.
Grand Duke McReynolds said nothing, he quietly waited for the nobles' reaction.
"To become a kingdom, you need not only the power of the army, but also inheritance. Only ancient nobles are qualified to establish a kingdom. At the same time, you also need the recognition of the nobles, the coronation of the Church, and..."
One Baron said somewhat incoherently. He was an old nobleman and he was very knowledgeable about the history. However, the more he talked, the more he felt that the Grand Duke was too bold.
"I will allow the Church to build a church in my kingdom if they recognize my status, but the clergy of the church must also be nobles in my kingdom."
Grand Duke McReynolds said, of course he also understood that when establishing the kingdom, he not only considered himself, but also considered other nobles.
They need to be recognized, because nobles have to hang out in circles, unless their circle is big enough. For example, the Noble Circle princes within the empire can be so large and powerful that they ignore Church of Dawn, so that the outside world has to recognize them.
But Sera Kingdom cannot.
"The nobles of the empire will consider my kingdom a real kingdom."
As long as the nobles of the empire are willing to be in the same circle as the nobles of the Sera Kingdom, then the nobles will not become traitors and abandon their loyalty and honor. After all, their once firm loyalty was at the feet of the Andara Royal Family.
More than a dozen nobles were still hesitant. The Grand Duke's decision really caught them off guard, but Ryan had sharp eyes, and he noticed that Viscount Fragoso seemed a little excited, and he stood up at this moment.
Then he knelt down.
"My noble Your Majesty, Fragoso will remain loyal to you for generations to come."
"Fragoso Family, will always follow your wishes."
Seeing the viscount's actions, the nobles were all stunned. Only Ryan gradually came to his senses.
Because if Grand Duke McReynolds really established a kingdom, then his daughter, Baronet Mihai, would be Queen, the second Sera Kingdom.
Mihai and Otto will get married.
"Your Majesty."
With the sound of Your Majesty, the Legendary Boon in Grand Duke McReynolds's body seemed to fluctuate. His understanding of the demon Mages seemed to have taken another step forward.
"Viscount Fragoso, from now on, you are the first earl of the Sera Kingdom."
Grand Duke McReynolds's voice fell, and the eyes of the other nobles also lit up, and they gradually knelt in front of the Grand Duke.
Farrell and Ryan did not need to move, but as the meeting ended, this incident swept the entire land of the Andara Kingdom and South crazily.
Grand Duke McReynolds will establish a kingdom, and his royal city is Unicorn Fortress.
This news shocked all the nobles like a storm. Before Andara Kingdom could react, Grand Duke McReynolds put on King's robe and brought The crown belonging to the Sera Kingdom, holding the King staff, led the army to attack the four Carlos noble territories of South!
Baron Ryan, as Empire Baron, was also announced by King MacReynolds that he would have the identity and status of an earl in the territory of the Sera Kingdom.
Therefore, Baron Ryan of the empire and Count Ryan of the Sera Kingdom became the commanders of this army.
"Griffin Legion is divided into three and goes to the borders of the other three Count's Domain to prevent their armies from gathering!"
"Ten thousand people, form a phalanx. You are not allowed to move. Just stand where you are. The other ten thousand people will cut off the Carlos Family river. Use stones and soil to cut off the river for me."
"Divine Wind Legion has been completely wiped out, no one can be our opponent!"
Under the command of Ryan, the hundreds of Knight Retainer behind him became the grassroots officers of these 50,000 soldiers, allowing him to command this huge army smoothly.
But as he said, the accident of this war will not break out at this time, because accompanying the army are the Wind Emperor, Sera Kingdom's King and his butlers, the two Legendary acted unscrupulously, and Carlos Family was defeated in a devastating manner. When the army occupied the Carlos Family castle, the other three noble territories could not even assemble an army of more than 2,000 people.
Who can help these Carlos Family bloodlines? Logically speaking, after they have cultivated the land of South for so many years, there will be nobles who will help them resist the rule that Grand Duke McReynolds suddenly wants.
But the problem is that without Unicorn Fortress delaying time, Grand Duke Carlos is now living in Grand Duke McReynolds's mansion, waiting for the next trial.
The remaining three noble territories will probably become prisoners of the McReynolds Family soon, and it will be too late to assemble the army.
