Lord Harland.

Chapter 206

Legendary magicians have a variety of resurrection methods, the first one is the seven-ring magic resurrection technique.But to use this spell to resurrect, the corpse must be complete, and the soul must be attached to the corpse.

The Duke of Brenner killed Irina, and of course the Grant family would burn Irina's body to prevent the Venus family from using the resurrection technique to revive Irina.

Even Elena's soul was scattered by Duke Brenner's powerful sword intent.

Legendary magicians also have a legendary magic soul parasitism, where half of the soul is entrusted to a piece of magic equipment.

But this spell has a big weakness. It will lose half of the soul and memory. It is quite troublesome to recover the magician who uses this spell to resurrect.

Elena has another clever method of resurrection. She once obtained a page of the artifact contract book, and used this contract book to sign a life-sharing contract with a legendary lich.

Her soul state is very special, and she shared her soul and memory with the legendary lich through the book of contract.If the lich hadn't been killed, Elena wouldn't have died either.Her soul will be reunited in the Necrosphere, and then enter the Plane of Dawn through the hidden planar passage.

Ye Lianna tampered with the bodies of many young members of the Venus family, and used some talented young members of the Venus family as props for resurrection.

As long as Elena's soul is immortal, she can take away the young members of the Shevinas family.

The Venus family has been passed down for more than 1000 years. There are no less than hundreds of thousands of people with this family lineage, and they are scattered in different countries. It is impossible to kill them all.

Only by killing the legendary Lich and Irina together can the life-sharing contract be broken.

Although it is possible to seize the body and rebirth, after the body dies, the energy of the soul will be seriously consumed.The legendary lich who shares life with Elena cannot use magical powers to fight for three years.

Elena wants to restore the power of the legendary magician, and it will take at least 20 years to gather magic power.

After Elena was resurrected on a young girl, she immediately notified other important members of the family. All heavyweight members of the Venus family knew about the method of Elena's resurrection.

In recent years, the Venus family has developed rapidly and gradually prospered. They can make waves in the Grant Kingdom, completely relying on the legendary magician Irina.

Without Elena's backing, the current strength of the Venus family is slightly stronger than the four Eastern Marquises, and not as powerful as the weakest Duke of Guise.

Elena's safety is the most important thing for the Venus family.After receiving Elena's situation, the Venus family immediately dispatched high-level professionals to protect it and hid it in a secret stronghold.

The Venus family has been operating this stronghold for 1000 years, and only a few high-ranking members know the location of the secret stronghold.

There is a mage tower in the stronghold, and a medium-distance teleportation array has been built, which can teleport up to [-] kilometers away. Even if it is discovered by others, there is enough time to escape, unless it is ambushed by a legendary magician and hidden in this secret stronghold. Elena's safety is guaranteed under any circumstances.

After Charlemagne, Anthony, and Harden received the news of Elena's defeat, expressions of disbelief immediately appeared on their faces.They never expected that the Duke of Brenner would do this.

The powerful power accumulated by the Venus family after more than a hundred years of dormancy will be destroyed today.

In particular, the Wild Lion Army commanded by Charlemagne was originally a regular army of the Grant royal family.Charlemagne relied on coercion, deceit and deceit to allow this central army to go south to join the war.

Once the news leaked, Charlemagne could not control the Wild Lions [-]%.

The two families of Anthony and Harden are slightly better. Although the family members don't know the details, they have the blood of the Venus family and have no right to choose at all.

Can they still count on the grant family to pardon them?

Before the news spread, the three held an emergency meeting.

Charlemagne raised his head anxiously, paced back and forth: "Hurry up and make a decision, once the news leaks out, we're done."

Viscount Anthony said: "In this situation, the most important thing is to be decisive. The cause of Gascoigne Province will be given up immediately. The three of us will hide with our family members, train the next generation, and continue to wait for opportunities."

"It's the only way to do this. First hide from the limelight, avoid this period of time, and continue to contact after two years. The contact location is at the No. [-] secret intelligence station."

With the protection of a legendary magician, the Venus family has developed very well in recent years, not only secretly controlling the Gascoigne province, but also affecting the two counts in the south.There are also hidden forces in other provinces of the Kingdom of Grant, and their influence has even extended to neighboring countries such as the Grand Duchy of Stanik and the Kingdom of the Rhine.

In both countries, there are figures similar to Baron Harden.There are hereditary aristocrats who have not yet been exposed secretly asylum, which is enough for Baron Harden, Viscount Anthony, Charlemagne and others to hide for a while.

After the three discussed, they immediately fled with their family members.

The leader ran away and was discovered by the upper echelons of the coalition forces the next day.Although they haven't received the battle report from the front line, these high-level officers immediately felt that something was wrong.

After an urgent discussion, they decided to control the army and surrender to the Duke of York.

The southern rebels were wiped out, and the northern rebels surrendered.

As soon as February entered, the Grant royal family quelled the rebellion.

The Duke of York led an army to Nolan, the capital of the kingdom.

Seeing King Charles, the Duke of York waved his hands arrogantly and said: "Suppress it!"

"I am the patriarch of the Grant family, your king. You once swore allegiance to me, and you cannot treat me like this."

King Charles waved his arms vigorously and pushed the two officers away.

The Duke of York raised his spear and hit King Charles hard.

The Duke of York is a knight of the ninth rank, while King Charles is a bit weaker, only a knight of the sixth rank.

The strength of the two sides was very different, and the Duke of York even broke King Charles' arm with a single blow.

"Charlie, I advise you not to ask for trouble, to suppress it."

Not long after the Duke of York entered Nolan, the senior members of the Mages Association also returned to the Dawn Plane.

At the beginning of March, Duke Roger of the Southern Expedition left Steven Grant to sit in the three southern provinces as the governor of the three provinces, with full authority to manage the military and political power of the three southern provinces. He returned to the capital Nolan with his own soldiers.

Steven Grant is a distant branch of the Grant family.

The Grant family has been on the throne for 600 years, and the number of people with Grant family blood exceeds one million.

If these descendants of the Grant family have no ability, their social status will be like ordinary people after a few generations.

However, the capable Grant family is far away, and the royal family will also invest resources in support.

Steven Grant is such a character. He was born in a humble family but has awakened his blood, and his strength is even stronger than Duke Roger.

After the death of Duke Brenner, there were five ninth-level professionals in the Grant family, and Steven was one of them. The remaining four were Philip, Pansy, York, and Roger.

The five ninth-level professionals are all important figures in the Grant Kingdom.

Steven is the governor of the three provinces, who holds the military and political power of the three southern provinces. He is also a court earl and an important officer of the Imperial Guard system.

The Duke of Brenner faked his death, and the only ones who knew the inside story were Pansy and Steven, two family members.Even York and Roger were kept in the dark. They didn't know the detailed plan until they arrived near Nolan.

Pansy is the president of the Mage Association and holds the most powerful mage power in the Kingdom of Grant.

Both York and Roger are hereditary nobles with elite soldiers and strong generals under their command. Roger will take over as king and will soon take over the power of Grant Kingdom.

Philip was persecuted by the Duke of Brenner when he was young, and he was forced to give up the throne and enter the monastery of the Church of Dawn.

In the Dawn Church monastery, Philip received the unreserved training of the church. Now he is a ninth-level priest and an eighth-level golden knight. His combat power is stronger than that of the nine-ring magician Pan Xi.

Philip is now the High Priest of the Dawn Church in Grant Kingdom, second only to Archbishop Senna.

But because of the past, Philip is no longer particularly concerned about the Grant family's affairs. Instead, he is most concerned about the development of the Church of Dawn.After all, if the pastor wants to advance, he must approach the gods in thought and stick to the creed of the church.

Even though Philip is already an important figure in the church, Philip will definitely fight in the face of the Venus family colluding with the evil god.

The five members of the Grant family joined forces, even if Irina was in her prime, she could fight against the legendary magician.

After Roger returned to the capital, because his line of succession was the highest, he succeeded Charles as king.

As for King Charles, his eyes were gouged out and he was driven to the monastery.

Originally, Roger must execute King Charles, but both Philip and Pansy expressed their objections, and the Duke of York abstained from this issue.

Although King Charles survived, Prince Felix died in the war.

As for how he died, there is no one to investigate.

Her mother, Mrs. Holland, was carried away by a low-ranking officer during the war and became the officer's prison.

The news that King Charles' rule had been overthrown reached Heihe Castle in late February.

After receiving the news that the Duke of York led troops into Norland, Richard and William finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This time the political side, the Harland family has become the winner, do not have to worry about being liquidated.

Richard reacted quickly. After discussing with William, he immediately led his troops to leave Black River Fort, and turned west to attack Baron Harden's territory.

Baron Harden headed south with the main force, and his territory has a population of [-].

Baron Harden's eldest son, Baron Leon, also has eight thousand citizens.

Now the hereditary nobles who participated in the rebellion in Gascoigne Province will be liquidated, and these territories will be reduced to fat.

In this case, there has always been a quick hand and a slow hand.If you rush slowly, you will lose the opportunity for rapid development.

Richard's reaction was quick, and the strength of Harland's territory is very strong. Now the military power has surpassed that of Viscount Roman, and he is the most powerful nobleman in Gerda Province. Don't dare to snatch food from a tiger's mouth, and compete with Li Cha.In order not to be cleaned up by him by the way, he will be charged with a disorderly party.

The current situation is temporarily in a state of chaos, and no one can control the nobles' attacks.A person with a big fist and a strong fist will of course speak with a much louder voice.

Now that the counter-insurgency war has come to an end, the remnants of the Venus family have also turned to underground activities.

Although there are still some soldiers in Baron Harden's territory, they are now afraid of being classified into another book and become the accomplices of the Venus family.

When it comes to the battle for the throne, the nobles are very cruel.Ordinary people without background are often implicated wantonly.

Facing the encirclement and suppression by Li Cha's army, the defenders of Baron Harden surrendered almost immediately, and handed over the complete territory to Li Cha.

The war is over, and rewards and punishments have become the mainstream.

The Harland family is on the side of the winner this time, so naturally they are not afraid of being held accountable by the higher authorities.

In this counter-insurgency war, although the Harland family did not participate in the war and did not shed blood, it played a very important role.

It was precisely because of Richard and William that they restrained the Northern Legion and did not allow the Northern Legion to support King Charles and go south to fight.

Because the Wild Lion Legion was deeply involved in the rebellion, although most of the ordinary soldiers and low-level officers were pardoned, the high-ranking officers were punished.

Those with minor crimes will be dismissed from office, and those with serious crimes will be tried by law.

The nobles of the Gascoigne province were also severely reprimanded for participating in the noble coalition organized by the Venus family.

Viscount Cisse, the enemy of Harland's territory, failed to stand in line this time, which also caused trouble.Not only was half of the territory cut off by the royal family, but the title was also downgraded to a baron.

The nobles of the Gascoigne province were almost all deceived. Most of the hereditary nobles followed the crowd and sent one or two squadrons to join the noble coalition army, so there was no major trouble.

Even so, the nobles of the Gascoigne province were branded as untrustworthy by the Grant royal family.

The leader of the Northern Legion, Zachary, failed to stand on the political side and has been deposed by King Roger.However, he had outstanding military exploits and did not cause too much harm, barely escaping the catastrophe.

Although the family territory was preserved, a thousand men needed to be transferred to join the Redeemer Legion.

The Redeemer Legion is a newly formed legion by Duke Roger, mainly funded and organized by the nobles who failed to stand in line this time.Except for the nobles in Gascoigne Province and Lahe Province, the rebellious barons in the three southern provinces have to pay for it.

There are three Redeemer Legions, and the annual military pay is entirely borne by the nobles.

If there is a loss, it must be replenished by the nobles.

These three Redeemer Corps were assigned to the Northern Xinjiang Province, and the command power belonged to the Central Corps.

Because of their strong military strength, the three provinces of northern Xinjiang have stationed the central main army.Therefore, King Charles attached great importance to the three northern provinces, and mobilized elite soldiers who were loyal to him to control the three northern provinces.

This time King Charles was ousted from power, and almost all the senior officials in the three provinces of northern Xinjiang were changed.

Richard's old acquaintance, Aidelaisi, was successfully promoted to the governor of Gerda Province.

The reason why Adelais, who has no backing, can be promoted, firstly, is because he stands in the right team.He was a promoted official in Brenner County and had a channel to the Duke of York.

The second is also because the new king Roger has no direct line officials, so for the time being, he can only promote local officials with more senior qualifications to maintain the situation.

After this rebellion, the situation of the Harland family immediately changed very well.

The enemy of the royal capital resigned because of the failure of the political struggle, and Richard and Duke Roger also had a little relationship.

The most important thing is that Richard made a fortune during the war, and Baron Harden's accumulation over the years all fell into Richard's pocket.

Baron Harden is very strong, and the reserves of materials are piled up like a mountain.

Richard mobilized people from the territory, and even asked the students of He'an Elementary School to participate in the counting. It took a few days to count Baron Harden's supplies.

There are twelve boxes of gold coins, each containing [-] gold coins, a total of [-].

Twenty boxes of silver coins add up to two thousand gold coins.

There are sixty boxes of copper coins, each box contains six thousand copper coins, and there are one thousand gold coins in total.

Just for the coins, Li Cha got [-] gold coins.

In addition to gold coins, there are also a large amount of cloth, livestock, salt, spices, and grain. These materials add up to a mountain, and the amount of gold coins is very considerable, roughly estimated to be no less than [-].

In addition, Baron Harden also has a lot of military supplies, three hundred war horses, five hundred armored collars, and six hundred bows and arrows. Counting spears and swords, it is enough to arm a thousand cavalry.

In addition, a batch of enchanted weapons were found from the treasury, including thirty pairs of enchanted armor, fifty enchanted long swords, and twenty enchanted crossbows.

This batch of equipment is also cheaper for Li Cha.

Baron Harden kept a group of iron horned horses in the territory, including six second-class stallions, thirteen mares, and nine ponies, all of which belonged to Richard.

Adding up all the harvests, the value of these materials is no less than [-] gold coins.

The charm of war wealth is so great that it can make people rich overnight and bankrupt overnight.

Taking advantage of the chaotic situation, Richard plundered a large number of people from Baron Harden and moved them to Harland's territory.

Forced to leave their homes, the citizens of Baron Harden dared not speak out.

But people under the eaves have to bow their heads.Temper is tough, and it is impossible to be tough with a sword.

Forced by the sword, the citizens of Baron Harden finally left their homes.

This time, more than [-] people migrated from Baron Harden.

Adding this group of people, the population of Harland Territory will exceed [-].

The population has increased, with Baron Harden's funding, and there is no shortage of weapons and equipment. Li Cha immediately created five new infantry squadrons, one scout squadron, and expanded his army by one thousand.

After the war against the rebellion, more than a dozen hereditary nobles, large and small, were expelled, including three hereditary earls in the south.

This civil war in the Grant Kingdom led to a change in the political situation.

The last time the political situation changed was more than 100 years ago.The Duke of Brenner defeated the orcs, and the Kingdom of Grant established three provinces in one go and awarded four dukes.

The territory of the disgraced nobles needs to be re-divided.

When it comes to the division of territories, the situation becomes complicated. It is necessary to weigh the pros and cons and take care of the interests of all parties.

The Grant royal family got the fattest piece of meat, and the territories of the three earls in the south were swallowed up by the royal family and became three provinces.

The Dukedom of Jonathan also gained a lot, swallowing the Earl of Roger.

Roger became the king, and it was impossible to be stationed on the front line of the northern border. His son was still young and had no ability to hold the territory at all.

Now it is necessary to reward Duke Jonathan for his meritorious service, so after discussing with the important figures of the Grant family, Roger decided to divide this territory to Duke Jonathan.

The Duke of Jonathan ate the Earl of Roger, and the Duke of York, who also made great contributions, was a little more difficult to award.

Although the Gascoigne Province has a large territory, the Duke of York is unwilling to put his strength on the front line of fighting the orcs.Therefore, only [-] square kilometers of land could be converted from the province of Maryland to the Duke of York.

The land of [-] square kilometers looks very small, much smaller than the territory controlled by the Harland family.

But the province of Maryland is a vast plain and is located in the hinterland of the kingdom. The territory here is very valuable.

The royal family has not been knighted in the province of Maryland for 300 years.

The Big Three got the benefits, followed by the Dukes of Duran and Lorraine.

The two dukes did not want their power to be dispersed.

Although the Gascoigne Province has a large territory, the big nobles don't like it at all.Obtaining a fief in Gascoigne Province will inevitably fight the orcs.

Although the two duchies of Lorraine and Duran often clashed with the Kingdom of Dron, the intensity was far from comparable to the orc invasion.

Although they are obliged to support the war in northern Xinjiang, they are not the front line after all, and the pressure is much less.Even if the territory of the Gascoigne province was given away for nothing, they were unwilling to take a look.

Because they don't need territory, Duke Roger rewarded them with [-] gold coins and a batch of pharmaceutical resources.

The other great nobles basically did not stand in line, and the ones who made the most contributions in the counter-insurgency battle were Richard and William.

Their father and son held back the northern army, saving the battlefield near Nolan from trouble.

If the Northern Legion and the Wild Lions join hands to go south, they may have broken through the Duke of York's defense.

The situation will change, and the internal friction in the Kingdom of Grant will become more serious.

Although Richard and William did not participate in the battle, Duke Roger still rewarded Richard with a remarkable achievement, and the Baron Dirham was distributed to the Harland family.

In recent years, the orcs' main marching routes have been through the Platos Mountains and Harland Valley.

The Dirham barony located in this area was unlucky and suffered two major blows. The remaining family members lost confidence in managing the territory and had already given up their right to inherit the territory.

Once again, this territory became unclaimed.

The Barony of Dirham is not small, a little larger than the Barony of Stopa, with a total area of ​​[-] square kilometers.

Although this territory is still hilly, the hills are very low and flat, and 30.00% of the territory is flat land. The agricultural conditions are much better than those of the Stopa territory.

Compared with the territories previously sealed by the Harland family, this territory is undoubtedly much more fertile.

After eating the Barony of Dirham, the Harland family's territory has exceeded 3 square kilometers. Counting the [-] people robbed from the Baron Harden, the total population has exceeded [-].

Li Cha resettled all the people who moved in to the new territory.

Baron Dirham has well-developed farmland and ready-made houses. Although he needs to squeeze in a short period of time, the conditions are better than when Richard first developed the territory.
