Lord of the Oasis

Viscount Wayne rode on the warhorse, covered in chain armor carefully crafted by senior blacksmiths, including integral neck armor, armor and leg armor knocked out with iron skin, which is completely defensive.

No way, as the supreme lord of the Northern County, he needs such protection and can afford it.

Behind him are 300 knights.

The equipment is not bad.

On the triangular banner at the top of the spear are all the emblems of Viscount Wayne.

A red-eyed swallow holding a sword and shield surrounded by flowers.

This means that he has real power, a land, and also an army. The sword and shield represent all of this, and the three kinds of flowers and bones that are faintly visible among the clusters of flowers represent his family for three hundred years.

It's just that the swallow wasn't something to be proud of, but there was some irony in the eyes of Viscount Wayne.

Swallows represent civilians.

Prove that his family is a nobleman who has made contributions from civilians.

The red eye is an eagle-eyed red eye, which means that his family and the royal family have been married. It belongs to one of the nobles most valued by the royal family and is the most important noble ally of the royal family.

Eagles and lions are often a symbol of the royal family.

The symbol of the Principality of the Lion is the lion.

Then the eagle is a branch bloodline closely related to the royal family, and also represents those top nobles.

Anyway, the nobles are all married and in-laws, and the blood lines have already penetrated each other, even if it is the same blood flow, it does not matter, because this is the case, relying on the marriage in exchange for mutual support.

It’s just that Viscount Wayne wanted to go further. It would be better if he could replace the swallows with eagles!

"Now the opportunity is coming."

He mumbled to himself.

Turning his head, just behind him and his own knight, a pile of mercenaries with different clothes, but armed with weapons, formed a long snake shape, followed closely behind him, and walked quickly, one by one face All with enthusiasm and excitement.

The desire for wealth and the desire to change one's own class have evolved into desire.

The same goes for Viscount Wayne.

"Just there."

He looked forward, and on the distant horizon, a towering mountain range appeared in front of him.

Sweeping far away, from the end of the horizon on the left to the end of the horizon on the right, seems to be endless, and it is precisely this nearly magnificent mountain range that blocks the invasion of the vast desert from farther north.

This is the Sanwaia Mountains, the best backing for the lion principality.

Used to be.

Now, too!

Especially when salt mines were discovered in the Nalun Desert, they also brought economic backing.

The Principality of the Lions almost got rid of the original economic structure in a short period of time. There is no need to use crops and handicrafts in exchange for various materials, and the profit earned by the caravan tolls and pumping fees collected.

It's all because of that salt mine, which is not currently controlled by the lion duchy!

The nobles started their actions restlessly.

He Viscount Wayne is one of the most direct leaders.

That's right.

Viscount Wayne, Lord of the North County, is this early bird.

He was also happy to be a protagonist, willing to be used by those high-ranking nobles from the southern county, even complacent, and finally had the opportunity to get in touch with the real powers that belonged to the most powerful princehood of the male lion.

If you have no value in life, it means that this guy has no value at all.

That is no different from dead people.

in contrast.

If you can use others indirectly.

This is a win-win situation. Viscount Wayne likes this feeling very much, and for this he is willing to be an early bird.

Don’t look at the fact that he controls the entire northern county, but this vast land is so barren and dangerous. All the farms he manages produce less than the river-based farms of the southern county.

Even the most profitable fur products in the Sanvaia Mountains are not as profitable as the river business.

The most critical.

Viscount Wayne, his title is only Viscount.

In the southern county and the eastern county, they are only middle-level and high-ranking nobles, and the status of the northern county can be seen.

In the Principality of the Lions, it is often circulated that the nobility of the Northern County is a group of beggars bearing the title of nobility, and even those honorable nobles in the court are not willing to go to the North County to take office. Obviously, this barren land is not in sight.

How could he, Viscount Wayne, be willing to fall forever and be looked down upon by the mainstream aristocracy?

That's right.

Even he did not actually join the noble circle.

The nobility of the southern county is the real aristocracy. In the past, the nobility of the northern county was no different from the ordinary countryman. In fact, the civilians of the southern county are comparable to the knights of the northern county. .

In the real aristocratic circle, this is undoubtedly shameful and tarnishes the glory of the nobles.

Now it is different.

As long as he captured the Jianshi Pass, then he would have a knocking stone for the senior aristocracy.

And the salt mines that dominated the Naron Desert, even with the other nobles in the Principality of the Lions, even the smallest of their own contributions, can’t get the big head. Viscount Wayne also knows ~www.readwn.com~ This completely became a senior noble.

This is an opportunity for his Wayne family to usher in a qualitative change.

He doesn't need to be too greedy.

Just play steadily.

It took 220 years for the Wayne family to start to become a supreme lord of the Northern County.

That is, his grandfather, who achieved great merits, won the identity of the supreme lord of the North County, and passed it to his father a few years later, and then his father passed it to him before he died.

It took only three generations to get the status of the supreme lord of the North County in 80 years.

And he.

Viscount of the new generation of Wayne family.

Finally, in the 16th year of inheriting this title and territory, new changes can be made.

As long as the title of the lord of the Northern County is not lost, and the senior nobles of the Southern County are married and entangled, then the Wayne family can completely grow into a true senior aristocracy through geographical factors.

The entanglement of interests and the marriage of reality are the noblest means of alliance.

You have me I have you.

Viscount Wayne can wait.

Big deal, in his grandson's generation, he became a senior noble.

Even then, the Wayne family is no longer a Viscount, even the Earl is possible, and even the bloodline has been entangled with the royal bloodline, even the Grand Duke has his bloodline.

This is not impossible, as long as you think about it, Viscount Wayne feels trembling all over, and has no excitement to add.

"Submit the order!"

He shouted.

Turning his head to the messenger behind him, he shouted, "Tell me the lovely guys, work harder. I need to reach 30 miles outside of the Jianshi Pass before evening. I will look for a village to let everyone rest !"

"Yes!" The messenger nodded and immediately rode down to convey the order.
