Chapter 243: 3 County Lands
It is true that this time when the Viking capital was captured, many nobles of all sizes were confiscated, and the interests involved were very huge. However, compared with the empire's grand plan, this little interest was nothing.
Although Pickjem consoled himself, he still became angrier the more he thought about it. This damn imperial plan was for the benefit of the empire, and the benefits gained from conquering the Viking capital were all his own interests.
For the sake of the empire, he gave up his own interests. He felt that he could do it. After all, he considered himself a person who was devoted to the country. But now he did not give up his interests voluntarily, but his interests were taken away by others. How could he accept this?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. If he was the only one, he would not dare to do anything because he was afraid of Feng Weiluo's strength and reputation. But now he is the commander of an army, commanding the entire Snowland Empire expeditionary army and controlling tens of thousands of steel puppets. His courage naturally grew.
The reason why their armies have not left yet is that they are waiting for the three countries to sign an agreement, which includes handing over the magic stone mines to the Snow Empire as military expenses, and also handing over the five counties on the border between the two countries to the Anerfa Empire.
During the whole process, the three empires seemed to have collectively forgotten that there was an Empire of Finn. There was nothing they could do, because their army's performance was so poor.
The armies sent by the three empires to help the Viking Empire restore its country, whether it was the Anerfa Empire or the Snow Empire, all performed well on the battlefield.
Only the Finn Empire seemed to come here just for show, and then was completely wiped out, adding a wave of strength to the Death Cult.
I don’t know whether they really sent some second-line troops over as a formality because their army was weak or because they didn’t want to help the Viking Empire restore its country.
Anyway, in this war of restoration, both the Anerfa Empire and the Snowland Empire gained an advantage and also made a name for themselves on the continent.
Only the Finn Empire became a negative example in this war of national restoration, allowing the whole world to see their weak nature.
After the contract was signed, the Viking Empire announced to the world that they had restored their country. However, it was obvious that after the fall of their country, their strength had been reduced to the extreme.
Nearly half of the nobles in the country were injured. You have to know that in a powerful empire, the main sequencers in the country are all nobles. When the nobles lose too many, it means that the number of sequencers in an empire is broken.
This is a very scary thing, especially when the demon tide is rising again. If you are one step slow, you will be slow at every step. The weaker your strength is, the less likely you are to get good resources. It is simply a vicious cycle.
"Grand Duke Willow, our emperor invites you to dinner." After finishing his work, von Willow originally planned to leave the Viking Empire and return to the New World. The New World did not have enough military force, and he was a little worried about Medusa.
I originally planned to come back and take a look, but I didn't expect so many things to happen. I fought another war and it dragged on for several months.
Winston, the emperor of the Viking Empire, was a middle-aged man with a rough appearance and a very strong body. When he saw Feng Willow coming, he welcomed him into the living room in a very friendly manner.
"Grand Duke Willow, I invited you here this time because I have something I want to discuss with you." Winston said enthusiastically.
"Just speak directly if you have anything to say. I don't like the nobles' beating around the bush." Feng Willow said bluntly. With his current status, he could ignore many rules and customs and make everyone adapt to his rules and customs. Even if the other party was an emperor, Feng Willow didn't think he should be inferior in status.
“Okay, I’ve heard that Grand Duke Willow has a straightforward personality, so I’ll be frank. Our Viking Empire has suffered heavy losses this time. Among the four great empires, we have fallen to the bottom.
I believe that in the future, all the major cults will inevitably wreak havoc in the Viking Empire. It is the instinct of those cults to bully the weak and fear the strong. "Winston said sincerely.
Feng Willow just nodded, indicating that he agreed with Winston's statement. However, he did not express any opinion, after all, it had nothing to do with him.
"The main reason is that our Viking Empire is now in great need of nobles. Many lords of territories have died in battle or surrendered out of cowardice.
In our Viking Empire, a large amount of unowned land has been created. Now, due to the emergence of the spirit world, monster invasions are discovered from time to time in various places.
Those people without lords will become very dangerous. Our royal family has limited power. We can indeed protect some territories and people, but there are still some territories that we cannot manage.
This time, you performed outstandingly in the war to restore the Viking Empire. Therefore, I have discussed with the ministers of the empire and am willing to reward you with the three counties in the western part of the empire as a fiefdom. You are the Grand Duke of the Anerfa Empire and also the Grand Duke of our Viking Empire.
We don't ask for anything else, we just want you to protect the people and prevent them from being harassed by monsters. They can live safely in this world. "When Winston said this, his eyes were filled with tears and his voice was full of sorrow. It seemed that he was really worried about the country and the people.
If Feng Willow had not known that when the Death Cult attacked the royal capital, this guy fled the city with all the treasures and property, Feng Willow would have almost believed that he was a good emperor who loved his people like his own children.
"Look, I have discussed with the ministers of the empire and have decided to grant you Yuexi County, Nanyue County, and Yuegao County. These three counties are rich places, not only densely populated, but also mostly plains. Whether it is developing industry or agriculture, there will be many conveniences." Winston was like a salesman, selling him the territories on the map. He didn't have to spend a penny.
Feng Willow could see that the Viking Empire was clearly trying to win him over, and the money was very high. Feng Willow wanted to refuse, but when he looked at the map of the three counties, he hesitated. Winston was offering too much. He also saw that the three counties were located adjacent to the Snowy Empire, and they were the only three counties in the Viking Empire that bordered the Snowy Empire. Now they were all assigned to him.
Obviously, Winston was calculating very loudly. Through this incident, he could see that the Viking Empire was no longer the same as before. If the Snowland Empire wanted something from them, they could just force it to take it. As the emperor of the Viking Empire, he couldn't even refuse now.
Especially when the contract was signed this morning, neither the envoys from the Snowland Empire nor the envoys from the Anerfa Empire showed corresponding respect to him as the emperor.
A year ago, the Viking Empire was still able to beat the Anerfa Empire, but unexpectedly, the situation changed. In just one short year, the Viking Empire had become the weakest empire. This result was unacceptable to Winston.
He felt that their Viking Empire was just lacking a strong man who could make the final decision. As long as they had a strong man to protect them for a period of time, their Viking Empire could rely on the contract with the Behemoth and become the most powerful empire among the four empires again. The territories that were lost now could be taken back by force in the future.
Feng Weiluo was indeed a little hesitant in his heart, just like a man who has a girlfriend, if a beautiful woman asks him to change his girlfriend, he will definitely not be happy, but if he is asked if he minds having more than one girlfriend, most men cannot resist.
Von Willow is now faced with this choice. Light VI does treat him well. If he were asked to directly jump to the Viking Empire, he probably wouldn't consider it.
But now the Viking Empire is willing to let him be the Grand Duke of the Empire and give him a huge fief. Feng Willow feels that he can't stand it. At least there is no moral restraint. He is not considered to have betrayed the Anerfa Empire.
Although the territories allocated to him were all three counties bordering the Snowy Empire, these three counties did have fertile land and a prosperous economy.
Faced with such generous conditions, Feng Weiluo was indeed tempted, but he did not agree immediately. For such a big matter, he needed to carefully weigh the pros and cons.
The benefits are obvious. He is now preparing to store grain. The territories of these three counties are all large grain-producing counties. Moreover, they are developed farmlands, which are much more convenient than redeveloping them in the New World. They can be used directly.
The territory of the three counties is not just about producing food, but also has convenient transportation, is located at the border of the two countries, has relatively developed commerce, and produces some extraordinary resources. No matter from which aspect, it is a big piece of fat meat, and it is a big piece of fat meat that is delivered to your mouth.
The downside is that from now on, they will be neighbors with the Snowy Empire, and they might attack at any time. But Feng Willow thought about it and realized that at least before the attack, he could take advantage of it. If they really attacked in the future, he would not lose anything if he gave up. From this point of view, it was a hundred benefits with no harm.
As for offending the Snowland Empire, that was pure nonsense. He had already offended them a long time ago. When he had released the plague into their territory, he had already offended the Snowland Empire. Why was he still afraid of offending them now?
"Well, thank you very much for your generosity, Your Majesty. I am very honored to accept the title of Duke of the Viking Empire." Von Willow said with a smile.
"Hahaha, okay, Grand Duke Willow, from today on, you are also the Grand Duke of our Viking Empire. Tomorrow, I will invite the nobles of the empire to meet the new Grand Duke of the empire." Winston said cheerfully in a good mood.
The dinner was a great success for both the host and the guests. Feng Willow got the territory of three counties, while Winston got a strong barrier. They no longer had to worry about the Snowland Empire thinking about them. Of course, this was what they thought was a barrier.
During this trip to the Viking Empire, von Willow reaped a lot of rewards. Not only did he obtain three ancient treasures, but he also gained the territories of three counties and the title of a grand duke. He also let Taris lead his men to plunder the capital of the entire Viking Empire. The money and extraordinary materials he obtained were priceless.
The next day, while the envoys of the Anerfa Empire, the envoys of the Snow Empire and the army had not left yet, the Emperor Winston of the Viking Empire held a high-profile medal awarding ceremony and directly conferred all three counties of the Snow Empire on Grand Duke von Willow.
The envoys of the Anerfa Empire were horrified. They helped the Viking Empire to restore its country, paid money and sent troops. Although they gained five counties, they now had to sacrifice the strongest man in the empire. No matter how you look at it, this deal is a bit of a loss.
The Snowland Empire's envoy frowned, thinking about the border issue in the future. Feng Willow, this madman, is not only powerful, but also has the ability to release the plague. For an empire, the ability to release the plague is too threatening. In the future, they can no longer expand wantonly towards the Viking Empire.
The most angry person among all people is Pickjam. As the commander-in-chief of the Snow Empire army, he believes that he has played an important role in this war of national restoration, at least a role equal to that of von Willow.
Feng Willow led an army to help restore the country, but there were only 3,000 people. Even if they were all Sequencers, their combat effectiveness could not be compared with his Iron Puppet Legion.
He also represented a great empire and commanded a powerful army, playing an irreplaceable and important role in destroying the Cult of Death.
In the end, all the good things went to Von Willow, and Pickle Jim got nothing. Why did this happen?
Pickjem was almost going crazy with jealousy. In the Snowland Empire, he was just an earl, and his territory was just a city, which was only one-third the size of a county.
But now, with only one battle left, he asked himself whether he had performed well in this war to restore the country, and had made enough contributions (defeating and killing the corpse wizards). He also gave up a large amount of property for the sake of the imperial army. The thought of the amount of that wealth still made him feel distressed.
In the end, he had nothing, while Feng Weiluo had gained so much. He was not convinced! He even wanted to kill Feng Weiluo. He didn't believe how strong Feng Weiluo could be. Even if he had a giant dragon protecting him, could he still beat my 20,000 latest-model steel puppets of the Empire?
Feng Willow did not stay in the Viking Empire for long. He needed to return to Dragon City to organize people to take over the three counties. Fortunately, he had already started to train talents in Dragon City. It was relatively easy to handle government affairs. He was not afraid that accepting the three counties rashly would cause trouble. (End of this chapter)
