Looking ahead, the soldiers of the army pulled the gate of the castle on the hillside. The heavy gate hit the ground heavily, stirring up large amounts of dust.
Ryan was on the horse behind, watching Harper Family's personnel being brought out and slowly coming to them.
"Your Majesty the Grand Duke, I think you also know the purpose of this war."
As soon as Ryan finished speaking, Grand Duke Harper roared angrily.
"Build a kingdom? Become King? MacReynolds is he worthy? Their McReynolds Family inheritance is not as old as mine Harper Family. What qualifications do they have to establish a kingdom!"
Grand Duke Harper stared at Ryan like an angry old lion, and then saw the imperial emblem on Ryan. The golden flower cluster surrounding the long sword belonged exclusively to the Florian Empire.
"Are you a noble of the empire? Did he establish the kingdom with the support of the empire?"
Grand Duke Harper calmed down. This matter seemed to be more troublesome than he thought, involving the empire.
"His Majesty the Emperor hasn't given the order yet. This is my choice. Why, Grand Duke Harper doesn't seem very convinced?"
Grand Duke Harper was helpless and avoided this question.
"It only took less than three days to capture my castle. You are far better than your Noble Title."
"With the establishment of the Sera Kingdom, your territory will still be your territory. King and Harper Family will still exist. You will become the only two duke families of the Sera Kingdom."
Ryan said this, which shocked Grand Duke Harper. He looked over and asked in disbelief.
"Carlos That old guy has agreed?"
"Yes, Grand Duke Carlos has sworn allegiance to MacReynolds under the banner of Griffin. From now on, all Carlos members will be loyal followers of MacReynolds."
The changes in his old rival suddenly made Grand Duke Harper look ugly, and he stopped clamoring for his soldiers to take back his castle.
"How is this possible..."
Grand Duke Harper still can't believe it.
When Ryan led the army to Olsen Earldom, the count... ran away.
Yes, he ran away, leaving part of the army behind to resist Ryan's army to the death, but was captured in less than a day.
"How could he give up his territory? And he fled with his entire family. Where did they go?"
No matter how you think about it, something doesn't feel right. An independent Earldom, with huge wealth and power, actually wants to give it up just because he doesn't want it? Is this reasonable?
"Your Majesty, Count Olsen left a letter."
The soldier sent the collected letters to Ryan. He opened it and frowned.
"Carlos's bloodline will never allow other people's King to override one's own."
"This land belongs to Carlos forever!"
Count Olsen wrote the letter with his own blood, which gave Ryan a huge headache. This turned out to be an absolutely loyal admirer of the Carlos bloodline. He claimed to be Carlos's orthodoxy and would inherit Carlos's will.
Now, Ryan's army has helped him solve all his troubles. Whether it is Carlos Family, Harper Family, or another Flynn Earldom Family, they will become the subjects of the new Sera Kingdom, directly allowing the remaining Olsen to completely inherit the honor and reputation of the ancient Carlos.
No one knows the ownership of this land, whether Carlos will be recognized by the South world, or whether the new Sera Kingdom will gain orthodox attributes.
This is one of the huge hidden dangers, but it is not something that Ryan should have a headache. Since MacReynolds has made a choice, he will have to bear all the grievances and conflicts behind this matter.
In just half a month, the leaders of Four Southern Nobles and the nobles around MacReynolds all gathered in the city of the McReynolds Family. Here, with extraordinary help, a luxurious mansion was built in a short period of time.
The brand new King robe was draped on the Grand Duke's body. The temperament of this Griffin Grand Duke gradually changed from a powerful demon Mages to a noble Your Majesty.
Just as Ryan thought, Carlos, Harper, Viscount Flynn, and were captured and became part of the new Count Olsen A young man of the Olsen Family blood, he was one of the people that Count Olsen could not take away. In the square of the mansion, under the gaze of countless eyes, he swore allegiance to MacReynolds.
The long oath of allegiance was given to every noble. This process took nearly six hours.
Taking an oath is more than just an oath. Every noble must send their flag and noble badge to King with both hands. After King's blessing, they then loudly say their loyalty oath to MacReynolds under the witness of King.
Someone will carve these oaths on the stone wall, follow King and place them in his Royal Palace, and then King will grant a series of things such as fame and power. After that, It was a prayer for Deities, and the process went smoothly, so the Holy Radiance that Lord of Dawn dropped was draped on Grand Duke McReynolds, and now Sera Kingdom On King.
This means that Sera Kingdom's belief still belongs to Lord of Dawn, not Otherworldly God.
This scene also relieved many loyal nobles. They were really afraid that King would suddenly say "believe in the light" and drive away the Church of Dawn clergy.
But obviously, if this is the case, the establishment of the Sera Kingdom will not receive much support from the empire.
Because King's oath mentioned Lord of Dawn instead of God of Light. Although they are both the same Great Being, Norris Continent represents the dispute between the Church and the empire.
This is also the choice of MacReynolds. In the land of South, if the newly born Sera Kingdom wants to be widely recognized by the nobles, the best choice is the Church, because the Church affects all lands except the empire.
But Ryan feels like he wants everything. After all, he, Empire Baron, also has the identity and status of a count within the Sera Kingdom.
"The great Lord of Dawn is witnessing the glory that belongs to MacReynolds. Under his eyes, Sera Kingdom will become his devout kingdom of faith on the Norris Continent."
The voice of Grand Duke McReynolds resounded in the sky and the earth. At this moment, Sera Kingdom was completely established.
In the following three days and three nights of carnival, Ryan also got his own reward.
Outside of Unicorn, he will own a manor, a six thousand acres of land, most of which is cultivated land that can be directly planted, and two thousand slaves responsible for planting and manor slave positions.
This is naturally not the most important thing. What is important is that all actions of Ryan within the Sera Kingdom are not done as outsiders, but as Count Sera Kingdom. This is the greatest invisible benefit.
"I didn't expect that Baron Ryan would become the biggest winner."
Legion Commander Farrell said with envy. He drank strong wine depressedly, not expecting that things would go in a completely unknown direction.
Unexpectedly, Baron Ryan would suddenly have a distinguished status in the Sera Kingdom.
Ryan smiled, the biggest winner? Hard to say.
"Your Majesty still didn't give you the order?"
Rampaging Elephant Legion has been stranded for a long time. Although McReynolds Family is responsible for daily expenses, there is still no order from the emperor of the empire, which is strange.
"Yes, but Your Majesty still seems to want us to help the Prince Adams of the Andara Royal Family become the new King."
Damian has died under the blood curse. Andara Royal Family Old King's children only have Adams and another guy named McPherson. However, the emperor gave the order, but did not give any means to help Adams fight against the blood curse.
"I got the news from King MacReynolds. The Church should choose His Highness McPherson to become Andara Kingdom's new King."
Ryan said meaningfully that after the death of Old King, a series of problems that arose in the Andara Kingdom made the nobles in the kingdom begin to waver. They re-established contact with the McReynolds Family. After all, in the past, the Grand Duke McReynolds family was undoubtedly the big brother in their circle.
However, this connection is no longer close, after all, both parties are now not in the same kingdom.
On the contrary, after a series of changes, the nobles of the Andara Kingdom began to gradually accept that Grand Duke Leta. Andara Kingdom is now the only remaining Grand Duke family. In the past, due to Witch Ghosts and historical reasons, no one accepted them. Now everything has changed.
It can be said that Leta Family's goal has been achieved, but the problem is that even Leta Family finds the development of things difficult.
The nobles are waiting for the Andara Kingdom's new King with indifferent gazes. Perhaps at that time, Andara Kingdom will declare war on the Sera Kingdom, the ninth kingdom on the Sera-Norris Continent.
Not far away, Otto and Roland also approached Ryan. The two people from the empire were relatively dazzling in this banquet.
"Your Highness Otto, Your Highness Roland."
Ryan followed the aristocratic etiquette towards the two people, and in one leap, MacReynolds became the royal family, and together with these two people, they also became noble princes. Before, they could ignore it, after all, there was no exact Noble Title, but that's not possible now.
"Your Excellency Ryan."
Otto and Roland said this. Ryan is Baron, and in the Sera Kingdom he is an earl. But in the final analysis, he is the lord and noble nobleman of the empire Descendant. Therefore, the two of them did not know how to address each other for a while, and could only use the honorific title of Your Excellency.
It is indeed an honorific, and this word is often used for those Legendary.
Legendary's status is not inferior to the status of a great noble in the world.
The purpose of the two people's visit was also very simple. Under the watchful eyes of the surrounding nobles, he invited Ryan to become Sera Kingdom's military advisor. This was something Ryan had proposed before. He had no rights, and he could not even do anything to control any army. Strictly speaking, it was a false position.
But Ryan will be paid a salary of 10,000 Gold Coin every year.
King agreed, and Ryan understood that this meant that Sera Kingdom was unwilling to give up the friendship of the empire. King MacReynolds wanted to play both sides between the Church and the empire.
Whether he could succeed Ryan I don't know, but five days later, at the coronation ceremony in Unicorn Fortress, the Church came to Cardinal Archbishop for King MacReynolds was crowned, and the empire once again sent Prince Volvo to watch the ceremony. This Elector probably turned back here again before returning to Imperial Capital.
Different from the last time at the Andara Kingdom, this time when Sera Kingdom was established, the number of noble representatives who arrived was only one-third of the last time. This one-third still depends on the attitude of the Church and the empire. Otherwise, I am afraid that no noble family will send people to witness the birth of a kingdom.
This is the dilemma that MacReynolds Royal House is facing now, just like the relationship between the Grand Duke McReynolds family and Leta Grand Duke Family within the Andara Kingdom when they were inside the Andara Kingdom.
When they were still Griffin Family, the nobles in the land of South all praised and envied them. However, after becoming the royal family, the nobles' malice would also be born, and they would no longer look at them with the same expressions as in the past.
Sera Kingdom is indeed established, but it is not an easy matter to stand firm on the land of South.
At the coronation ceremony, Dawn's gift came again. This was a routine practice. After watching Ryan's useless speech for a while, he lowered his head and stared at the map of the Sera Kingdom.
From the map, Sera Kingdom's current territory is like a carrot. Ryan feels this way because he is chewing a carrot in his hand. This was sent from another kingdom near the ocean in the south. McReynolds Family has put a lot of effort into today's coronation ceremony.
The south side is thicker, and the north side is represented by the Griffin Mountains, which is thinner, which is the overall appearance of the Sera Kingdom. This territory is about the size of two and a half provinces of the empire... maybe three if all Griffin Mountains are counted.
Owning three-fifths of the land of the Andara Kingdom, after all, Andara Kingdom has now lost a huge territory. Griffin Mountains as the center no longer belongs to Andara.
But no matter what, the two northernmost kingdoms on the Norris Continent are undoubtedly the two weakest among the nine Great King kingdoms on the mainland.
It's really hard to judge who is better, Andara Kingdom or Sera Kingdom, Ryan.
After all, you can't King personally go to the battlefield every time there is a war, right? In that case, the recognition of the Sera Kingdom among the nobles may continue to decrease.
"It's actually quite simple. As long as Sera Kingdom can survive on the mainland for a hundred years, the influence of time will erase all disapproval. Sera Kingdom is the truly respected bloodline of the kingdom on the Norris Continent."
Cardinal Archbishop Raymond from the Church, after presiding over the coronation ceremony of Sera King, went to the Andara Kingdom with some anger, because during the coronation ceremony, he did not condescendingly let Sera King lower his head to him.
This "Wind Emperor" King allows Faith of Dawn to appear in the Sera Kingdom, but does not allow the majesty of the Church to override King.
This also caused some nobles to look deeply into their eyes.
"Archbishop will come to the Sera Kingdom in the future and be responsible for all the will of Dawn on this land."
"That Cardinal Archbishop Raymond will go to the Andara Kingdom to hold a coronation ceremony for His Highness McPherson. He will become Andara Kingdom's new King. This Cardinal Archbishop should be able to solve the bloodline curse that has descended."
The Church's background is still strong, and he can solve the curse of Deities. Roland was a little sour when he said this.
"In order to maintain the influence in the north, the Church should help the Andara Royal Family bloodline to be baptized and wash away the hidden dangers of their being unable to transcend after being cursed."
In the past, it was absolutely impossible for the Church to do this because of the Andara Royal Family's blasphemy, but the appearance of the Sera Kingdom made the Church feel that his control in the north was beginning to decline. This was a very bad sign in their opinion.
Therefore, it became the best choice to support Andara Kingdom again, allowing Andara Royal Family to become a complete believer of Dawn, loyally attached to the Church, and become their eyes and a nail in the north.
Strengthen the authority of the Church over Norris Continent and begin to block the empire's resistance to them from all aspects.
This is still a battle between theocracy and Royal Authority.
"The dust has settled since the birth of the new King. Legion Commander Farrell should be the saddest one."
Ryan looked at Farrell and said, he was not kidding, Legendary's hope was shattered, the emperor's order should come soon to let him return to Winged Gorge, this Legendary's incident will not happen again, allowing him to obtain the Legendary factor. Winged Gorge's power will also fall aside, and the transaction with Lord Ryan will be interrupted.
At this moment, Legion Commander Farrell finally couldn't suppress the boiling blood in his body. Rampaging Elephant Legion Commander's mania made him very dissatisfied with the result.
But what's the use, he can't change it.
He suddenly looked at Ryan and said:
"Baron Ryan, how about we support Prince Adams to become the new King of the kingdom."
Ryan rolled his eyes at Legion Commander and only asked a question that was probably the least relevant to the matter.
"Legion Commander Farrell, what are you going to do against the Cardinal Archbishop who just arrived?"
Farrell was discouraged and defeated, let alone Cardinal, even if it was Pastor Soto and Feather Dragon Legion and that Legion Commander Eiffel, he couldn't solve it.
Indeed, Sera Kingdom was established under the witness of the Church and the empire, and Andara Kingdom also welcomed a Cardinal Archbishop to take charge personally. The apparent stability of the two kingdoms means that the disputes on this land have been settled. The future disputes will be disputes and conflicts between the two King countries and within the kingdom.
"Tell me, will such a big event have an impact on the world and history? Will the Legendary factor be born?"
Farrell asked unwillingly, but Ryan was still a question.
"The establishment and birth of the kingdom must be considered, but Legion Commander Farrell thinks, between you and His Highness Otto, who is more likely to get the favor from Legendary?"
Ryan points to Otto. Indeed, the establishment of the Sera Kingdom actually represents another thing, that is His Highness Otto, the successor of the Sera Kingdom. I am afraid that the road to Legendary is no longer muddy, but a smooth road.
"Instead of thinking about this, why don't you pray for... that guy in the north."
Hernan.
