This Lord is Very Scientific-Chapter 135 - 112 Rica’s Terrifying Gift (6k)_3
Chapter 135: Chapter 112 Rica’s Terrifying Gift (6k)_3
Where is Curry, the housekeeper, behind Princess Rica?
Lin Ke immediately had some suspicions in his heart, but now was not the time to think about them.
At this moment, Princess Rica paused for a moment, and before everyone could think further, she spoke again.
"Furthermore, Linke Azen’s organization at the frontline is commendable, and since Lord Ove has joined the Azanen Clan, Linke Azen is hereby conferred the title of Count of the Gula Kingdom! His fief is expanded to cover the entire Lava Swamp!"
Linke Azen is conferred the title of Count! fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
This means the Azanen Clan is no longer just a Viscount Clan, but a Count’s Clan!
In the past, noble promotions have often come through generations of effort, accumulating wealth, strength, and troops by various means.
Until one day, when the entire clan possesses the power to rival the fifteenth level, they can be promoted to Count.
To be promoted to Baron, one must have the strength to rival a fifth-level combatant; for Viscount, it’s tenth-level; for Count, fifteenth-level; Marquis, eighteenth-level; Duke, twentieth-level; and Grand Duke, a legend or deity.
And now, the Viscount Azanen Clan, because of Lin Ke, or perhaps because of Lin Ke and Ove’s presence, has been promoted to a Count’s Clan!
However, this isn’t the most exaggerated part. After all, many fortunate clans have risen due to one individual.
The most exaggerated part is the increase in the fief.
The fief — Lava Swamp!
The surrounding nobles gasped in shock.
That’s the Lava Swamp!
It is comparable to a duchy.
Is it possible that His Majesty Insomnia, angry because of this incident, is preparing to eliminate all the Kings of Magical Beasts in the Lava Swamp and annex the territory into the Gula Kingdom?
The Lava Swamp has countless Kings of Magical Beasts over level twenty; it is one of the three major magical beast gathering places in Naseng, and no power has ever managed to incorporate such a magical beast gathering place into its territory.
Moreover, such a large territory is actually going to be handed over to the Azanen, a humble family?
It’s known that for ordinary noble promotions, His Majesty Insomnia usually rewards a secondary plane as fief, and rarely chooses a fief in Naseng.
Not only because Naseng has many strong entities, making it difficult to develop, but also because several major powers in Naseng have agreed not to easily start wars.
And now, with the fall of Lady of Tides, it seems His Majesty Insomnia has already decided to launch a full-scale war on the swamp.
In that case...
The nobles turned their eager eyes towards Lin Ke, even Viscount Mantis couldn’t help but his eyes flickered.
Count Grizzly Bear squinted his eyes, and the sharp glint didn’t match his honest appearance, making it clear he was pondering something.
"Thank you, His Majesty Insomnia, for the recognition!" At this time, after Princess Rica finished reading, Lin Ke descended from the Gula bull, bowed with his right hand on his chest to express respect.
There was no need for any three-grovel-nine-kowtows, nor for any long live the Emperor, just a salute was enough, which was quite nice in this aspect.
Standing on the city wall, Princess Rica nodded slightly to Lin Ke after her speech, then stood still as if waiting for Lin Ke to make arrangements.
Seeing this, Lin Ke got back onto the Gula bull and looked at the nobles.
Facing those eager eyes, he first cast an Amplify Voice spell: "Gentlemen, from now on, I am the Grand Commander of the Great Wall!"
Surprisingly, there was no opposition this time.
Lin Ke guessed some of the nobles’ thoughts, and with a smile, he spoke: "I will try to retain your existing soldiers as much as possible without breaking up units. I also ask you to follow my orders!"
Hearing this, the trace of worry in the nobles’ eyes dissipated.
Seeing this, Lin Ke’s face was full of smiles, and he began to converse and get acquainted with the nobles one by one.
Now, everything else is secondary; holding the Great Wall until His Majesty Insomnia arrives with reinforcements in two months is most important!
"Then, let us discuss together..."
At this point, Lin Ke returned to his humble, seeking-advice demeanor, and discussed with the nobles one by one.
Cavalry, infantry, ranged units, charges, scouts, death squads, special forces, cannon fodder...
The various troops opened Lin Ke’s eyes, and countless strategic ideas took shape in his mind.
Finally, Lin Ke and the nobles discussed dissolving only a very small part of the complementary troops for reassignment, while unique units retained their original organization.
Of course, Lin Ke also knew that nobles like Count Giant Sword needed to be with their soldiers to be formidable.
However, during their discussion, someone reported.
"Lord Akel! My pet beast discovered unusual activity in the swamp!"
It was a person fully shrouded in a black robe, seated on a lean black panther.
This was one of Count Akel’s followers, an eighth-level Beastmaster.
Unusual activity in the swamp!
The nobles quickly looked at Lin Ke, waiting for him to decide.
"Unusual activity?" Lin Ke frowned, looking at Akel: "Uncle Akel, can you ask for specific details?"
Ever since the fall of Lady of Tides, the swamp has been engulfed by the King of Magical Beasts’ aura, making it impossible for humans to approach without being detected.
Their Scouts and Rogues have been discovered many times, making it difficult for Lin Ke to investigate the situation.
Akel looked at Lin Ke, then at his follower, and finally at Lin Ke again: "Little Lin Ke, you are the Grand Commander now! Ask whatever you want directly!"
Lin Ke nodded upon hearing this, gave Akel a grateful look, and then turned to Akel’s follower.
