Warhammer Wizard

Promote to the Holy Soul Wizard, enter the Supreme Council, canonize the duke and obtain the territory.

This process is a step-by-step process. Rennes has completed the first two steps. Unless he declares that he voluntarily renounces the title and domain of the duke, he can apply to the Supreme Council at any time within a year to set aside a domain in the territory of the empire. .

Duchess cannot be arbitrarily delineated, there are several restrictions.

First of all, the area cannot exceed half a province and can include several cities, but important imperial cities such as Northrill and Shenzhen City cannot be selected.

Secondly, the territory must be unowned and cannot conflict with existing nobles.

Finally, the total population at the time of the Duke's leadership cannot exceed 10 million people.

These three conditions determined that the duke could not choose the most prosperous area of ​​the empire, either in the border areas or in cities with relatively backward economic populations. The duke needed to carefully manage and develop his territory to feed the empire.

In addition to this, there is a law that states that the duke shall not be hereditary.

The holy soul wizard himself died, and the territory was re-owned by the empire. In the history of the empire, three holy soul wizards died or disappeared, and the title and domain of the duke were cancelled.

Rennes wanted territory without a vote by the Supreme Council.

However, the location and area of ​​the territory must be discussed by the holy soul wizards, and then reported to the magic goddess, and after his consent, a grand canonization ceremony will be held.

Marius handed the map of the mines on the plateau to Renn, and left by himself.

Ren looked at the map and thought.

The Cheyenne Plateau is not an empire's territory, and he cannot directly classify it as a territory, but it is precisely because of this situation that he can take the entire plateau into his bag. Otherwise, the area and population of the plateau far exceed the limits of the duchy.

The entire plateau is equivalent to twenty imperial provinces!

Even in the eyes of the empires, the plateau has little value, but such a large territory will definitely be criticized, and the Netherites and the Balancers will also oppose it.

Although it is useless to oppose it, it is not appropriate to stimulate them too much now.

So a roundabout strategy is required.

Renn soon had an idea, inspired by the enemy Duke of Redstone.

The Dukedom of Kelston is Urg City and the surrounding area, the area meets the requirements, but this territory is located in the center of the northern prairie, guarding the traffic arteries, and becoming the largest city on the grassland, with influence radiating the entire grassland.

After decades of operation, Kelston essentially dominated the northern prairie, controlling an area more than ten times the size of the duchy.

This set can be learned!

Ren's gaze searched on the map, after thinking for a long time, his finger lightly dropped on a location on the map, it was here.

Two days later.

After more than half a month, the Supreme Council convened again, and the projections of the holy soul wizards entered the Supreme Palace, sitting on both sides of the long bronze table.

"Anxi, what's the matter this time?" Duke Grey Eagle asked impatiently.

The Mordu sent a family to dominate the Supreme Council. He hasn't been angry so far, and he is very dissatisfied with the status quo. He decided to study Hess Magic Circle with all his strength, put all his energy into it, and no longer pay attention to the Supreme Council's affairs, so frequent meetings. Let his anger rise again.

Kelston also resisted the meeting.

The holy soul wizards of the Netherite and the Balance School are now wary of every move of the Mordu School.

Ansivdaus said lightly: "There is nothing important, just ask you to discuss the canonization of the Duke of Rennes and the delimitation of the territory."

Everyone's eyes turned to Renn.

There were two or three holy spirit wizards sitting across from the long bronze table. Their expressions changed a little. Tim Kennan said in a deep voice, "Rene, you already have the Earl of Glamorgan, and there is a principality in Congatro. , And Gotham in the New World, now there is a duchy, isn’t it too greedy?"

"No one would think that there are too many territories." Renn smiled disapprovingly.

These words won the approval of the Silver Star Duke, his face was full of envy.

But not every holy soul wizard covets the territory, the Duke of Purple Flame, the Prophet Mediver and Master Huo Huai have no interest in the territory.

Anse Verdaus said: "The Holy Soul Wizards of the Supreme Council are eligible to be granted the title. This is the rule set by the goddess, and Renn did not declare to give up. Gray Eagle, Renne wants a duchy, you should have no reason to oppose it. Bar?"

Tim Kenan was upset for a while, but couldn't refute it.

There was silence for a few seconds in the Supreme Palace.

The Great Sage of Congerald rarely spoke, and asked with interest: "Rene, which place are you going to choose as your territory?"

"Osien Province." Rennes replied softly.

The empire’s administrative division map appeared in the minds of the holy spirit wizards. The Osian province is located on the western border and is one of the smallest and poorest provinces in the empire.

Two-thirds of the province’s territory is part of the Seine Plateau, and there are only five cities in total, all crowded in the eastern region. This area occupies only one-third of the province. It is located at the foot of the plateau and has a relatively flat terrain. The largest "Qingtan City" is the provincial capital with a resident population of only more than 600,000, making it the worst-developed capital of the empire. .

The population of the entire Osham province is only more than five million.

Nothing else is commendable.

The only impressive thing in the province is the "Tianchi Lake". It is the largest inland lake in the world. It covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of square miles and has a high altitude. The largest rivers in the empire all flow through Tianchi Lake, so it is called It is the imperial water tower.

Ren's choice was beyond the expectations of the holy soul wizards.

The Duke of Silver Star said in surprise: "Rennes, why would you choose Osam, this place is located inland, far from the coast, and there is almost no development potential."

"Yes..." The Storm Queen also nodded.

"Isn't our original intention of being duchy, to support the backward areas and allow all the people of the empire to develop in a balanced way?" Rehn said sternly: "As a consul, I shoulder the responsibility of governing the empire, so I naturally have to set an example. "

"It is precisely because of the many shortcomings of Osam's province that I choose it as my territory."

"What do you think?"

Renn asked in the last sentence, his gaze swept across the holy soul wizards, and the few people who had originally questioned Renn's choice were a bit embarrassed.

"It's because of the Thain Plateau?" Kelston said suddenly.

He was completely unmoved by Renn's words, his face was indifferent, as if he had already seen through Renn's intentions.

The holy soul wizards immediately remembered that the origins of Ren's ultimate fighters were no longer a secret. They were the Makurag barbarians from the Seyn Plateau.

Since the Xtreme Band became famous, many people have secretly sent people to Astarte to spy on the situation of the Makurag tribe, only to find that Astarte is tightly guarded and is guarded by Xtreme fighters at all times, even if the legend sneaks into Asth. Tate couldn't come out alive either.

Observing from a distance outside the city, there is no useful clue.

Rennes squinted at Kelston and said contemptuously: "Don't use your careful eyes to speculate on my grand pattern. Who knows the barrenness of the Thain Plateau is definitely not as good as the northern prairie. I can contemplate something on the plateau. ?"

This cynicism made Kelston's face gloomy.

However, he mentioned that Thayen Plateau reminded the holy soul wizards that Renne must have some plans, but he didn't know it for the time being.

Judging from past experience, Rehn has never been aimlessly, inevitably concealing certain key information.

"If you don't clearly explain your motives, I am opposed to designating Osam as your duchy." Kelston said in a deep voice.

Renn sneered.

"As early as a few years ago, I heard that the Duke of Redstone is the master of the northern prairie." He suddenly changed the subject. Many cities and tribes have to pay taxes to you."

"I couldn't control it before, but now I am the Archon."

Rehn said in a natural tone: "There are loopholes in the empire's tax system. I have the responsibility to check the gaps and make up for them, and prepare to let the tax department go to the grassland to investigate the situation."

"you…"

Kelston stood up suddenly and glared at Renn.

The northern prairie provides him with a steady stream of benefits. Pallas Floating City can have its current prosperity and prosperity, relying on blood transfusions from the entire prairie.

If Ren cut this source, it would be a fatal blow to Urgo City and Pallas Floating City.

"The northern prairie is not all empire territory." Kelston defended.

"Neither is Thayen Plateau." Renn immediately responded.

The empire's territory is very large. Except for the east coastline, the western and northern territories have no clear borders. The borders of the Cheyenne Plateau and the northern prairie are very blurred with the empire and can only be regarded as spheres of influence.

Kelston took advantage of this loophole to rule the northern prairies and implement its own tax system.

Now Renn is ready to do the same.

Kelston was silent for a few seconds, and finally sat down without saying a word. He was subdued in this posture, and the fight with Renn was defeated again.

However, the dispute between Rennes and Kelston also convinced the holy spirit wizards that he was plotting the Thayne Plateau by choosing Osam as his territory.

Everyone was very curious, what did Renn fancy about the plateau?

resource? population?

Tim Kenan stared at Renn, he was really afraid of Renn's calculations, and asked directly: "Ren, you'd better state your motives, don't use those empty words to perfuse us."

"I am going to unify the Thain Plateau and incorporate it into the empire." Ren said calmly.

The holy soul wizards looked at each other.

What are the benefits of unifying the plateau to the empire?

If it is just for the imperial map to become larger, the imperial legion is dispatched, and the high military expenditure and cost are paid, then the gain is not worth the loss.

Rennes had long anticipated the thoughts of the Holy Soul Wizard, and continued: "I am not going to send out the Imperial Legion, nor will I ask for financial allocation. I only send out the Ultimate Fighting Group and the Holy Spear Knights in my own name to conquer step by step. The Cheyenne Plateau, it may take several years. After success, the Cheyenne Plateau will become part of the empire."

"What good is this for you?" Duke Silver Star was a little puzzled.

Rehn calmly said: "In the eyes of the people of the empire, opening up and expanding the territory is the best political achievement. After the plateau is unified, I will try to develop some resources to drive the development of the western part of the empire."

The holy soul wizards were suddenly stunned.

Although they still somewhat suspected that Rennes had another plot, it also made sense.

Since the Unified Plateau is solely responsible for the profits and losses of Rennes, and there is no loss to the empire, it doesn't matter.

Ansivdaus took the words and said: "The area of ​​Ossian province is small, only about half of the other imperial provinces, and the population is only over five million, all of which meet the requirements of duchy. Therefore, I suggest that The entire province of Ossian is designated as the territory of Rennes, what do you think?"

"Yes." Silver Star Duke was the first to agree.

"I agree!"

Several members of the Mordu faction, including Master Oroin and Queen of the Storm, naturally had no objection.

The holy soul wizards of the other two factions were still thinking, Tim Kenan reluctantly nodded in agreement, Kelston said nothing, and it was useless for others to object.

"Then it's so decided."

Anse Vados stood up, turned towards the statue of the goddess of magic in the Supreme Palace, and said loudly: "Great lady, the Supreme Council implores René Augustus to be canonized as Duke, and the province of Ossi is to be designated as a duke. , Madam, please approve."

The duke of the empire can only be canonized by the goddess of magic.

In the next second, the tall idol trembles slightly, and magical light shines in its eyes.

A misty voice sounded in the minds of the holy spirit wizards: "Rene Augustus, I declare that you can be canonized as the Duke of the Golden Emblem, with the province of Osian as the territory, congratulations."

"Thank you madam!"

Ryan got up and saluted the idol solemnly, but thought in his heart that the goddess canonized the title of duke is too casual.

The dukes of the Supreme Council, gray eagle, redstone, silver star, purple flame, black robe, and blue oak, are all named after color plus something. Although they fit the hallmarks of the holy spirit wizards, they sound I always feel a little bit meaningless.

The title of Duke of the Golden Emblem is obviously derived from the coat of arms of the Augustus family. UU reading www. uukanshu.cOM

The golden sign of the cross of the warhammer and the crescent moon!

Ryan regretted it a little bit. He knew that he had communicated with the goddess beforehand. He thought of a title and told him, and then canonized it. How could it sound better than "Duke of Golden Emblem".

never mind.

Anyway, the title of the duke is only temporary and will not be used frequently, so it will be changed sooner or later.

After the canonized title was announced, the majesty of the goddess of magic quickly disappeared, and the idol was restored to peace.

"There is another duke in the empire. Congratulations to Ren." Dean Sabra congratulated softly.

Other holy soul wizards also congratulated a few words.

Ryan appeared to be very calm, without the excitement and tears of Dean Sabra when he was canonized, as if it were just a trivial matter.

Anse Wadaus asked, "Ren, how will your canonization ceremony be held?"

"Teacher, I just became the consul. I just held an inauguration ceremony. It is not suitable to hold a large-scale canonization ceremony." Rehn had thought about it and replied: "I plan to hold a simple press conference in the Dutch Palace to tell the outside world. Just announce the news."

"That's fine too." Anse Waldos nodded.

The projections in the Supreme Palace disappear one after another.

Not long after the meeting ended, the news spread that the consul was canonized by the goddess as the "Duke of the Golden Emblem", and cabinet ministers successively went to Rennes's office to congratulate him. The next day, dozens of newspapers from the Empire were invited to the Dutch Palace, attended the press conference, and officially announced the news.

The empire was not too surprised. People discussed it a few times, and stopped talking after envy.

There is only one place where the people's response was the most enthusiastic, that is, the province of Osam. People are all looking forward to the arrival of their lord, the consul of the empire.

A few days later, Qingtan City, the capital of Osian Province, finally welcomed the Duke of Golden Emblem!
