Chapter 290 Planning and Instructions
Ronin returned to his room in a daze. It was not because he drank too much, but because he was too tired to socialize with the endless stream of people who came to greet him.
With the help of the servants of Wushan Fort, he took a bath and changed into clean clothes, and then he felt relaxed.
He called out the system and checked the achievement interface.
[Famous all over the world]: The title is both a symbol of status and a manifestation of strength. Please work hard to become a marquis, rewards: attribute points +1500, energy essence +3000
"It's not easy to be a marquis."
There are only two ways for Ronin to become a marquis.
One is to inherit the title of marquis of Wushan Fort.
Although Lu Lans is willing to let him regain the right of inheritance, having the right of inheritance and truly becoming a marquis are two different things.
In this world, generally speaking, only when a noble dies can his descendants inherit his title and territory.
In other words, if Ronin wants to become a marquis through inheritance, he must first wait for Lu Lans to die, and then wait for Wiggins to die.
Let's not talk about how long Rulans can live. Take Wiggins for example. Although he has a broken leg, with the physical strength of a senior knight, if there is no accident, it is completely possible to live another 20 to 30 years.
Roning wants to wait for Wiggins to die and then inherit the title of Marquis, but that is estimated to be 40 to 50 years later.
What's more, he doesn't want Rulans to die at all.
As long as the soul-devouring surge in the old Marquis' body can be removed, with Rulans' meteor-level strength, it is completely possible to live for another few decades.
So this way is not very feasible.
In addition to inheritance, the second way is to confer titles.
Rulans is a Marquis, and he has no ability to confer titles on his vassals.
If Roning wants to be conferred the title of Marquis, he can only seek to establish meritorious services to the royal family so that His Majesty the King can confer titles on him.
Although he is a vassal of Wushan Castle, Wushan Castle is loyal to the Alduin royal family. In this case, he can be loyal to the king while serving as the Earl of Wubei Territory and obtain additional fiefdoms from the royal family.
The Earl of Wubei Territory and the Marquis of the Kingdom, this situation is theoretically possible.
"In this way, the marriage with Blanche is even more critical."
Marrying Her Royal Highness Princess is of great help to Ronin.
If nothing else, at least it connects him with Alduin. If it weren't for Blanche, Ronin would have difficulty meeting His Majesty the King.
"But even so, it's very difficult to become a Marquis."
Ronin sighed.
From Baron to Viscount and then to Earl, although he has made meritorious contributions, he has the halo of his status, and Rulans has opened a green channel for him, which allowed him to be promoted so quickly;
But if it is put at the level of the kingdom, there is no shortcut to become the Marquis of the Kingdom.
He doesn't think Blanche has such a big face to let His Majesty Bruno cheat for him.
"It looks like I will hold this title of Earl for a long time."
Ronin's eyes swept across the achievements of [King of Slaughter] and [Lucky Fortune], and looked at the remaining two achievements:
[Prosperous Population]: The registered population of the territory reaches 30,000, reward: attribute points +300, energy spirit +600
[Conquer Cities]: Own two cities at the same time, reward: attribute points +400, energy spirit +800
The population census of Chishan Town is estimated to have been completed, but the total population is still a little different from 30,000.
But if all the people in the Stone Territory and Wiggins and Kabir are counted, the population in Ronin's territory will definitely exceed the 50,000 mark.
Ronin felt embarrassed for himself when he thought that he was a count, sitting on such a large territory, but with such a small population.
"The population of Chishan Town exceeds 10,000 people. According to the system mechanism, it should meet the conditions for attacking cities and conquering territories. This achievement can be completed before setting off for Jinyu City."
As for the population census of Giant Stone Territory, it may not be completed in a short time.
It will take at least ten days for the political officer Serin to go from Wubei Territory to Giant Stone Territory.
"Rydar needs to participate in and take over the Fifth Knights, and will be stationed in Shore City in the future. Giant Stone Territory has just been taken over by me, and we need someone trustworthy to guard and coordinate the defense of Chishan Town."
Ronin thought for a while, and among the three men, he could only let Elron stay in Wubei Territory to lead and develop his magic potion experiments; let McKen take some people to Giant Stone Territory to assist in the defense of Chishan Town.
As for the training of the guards of Wubei Territory, I am afraid it can only be handed over to Zhuweit, Sim and others who have followed McKen and Rydar for a long time.
Although they are not as good as Rydar and McKen, they are all professional knights, and have participated in military discipline training. There should be no problem in the initial training of the guards of Wubei Territory.
As for actual combat, Redar and McKen need to come back every now and then to inspect the results and give guidance.
The key is that there are not enough people under my command.
"I need to ask them to bring more people to me."
The figures of the two senior knights, Joffrey and Rogner, flashed in Ronin's mind, but he didn't think of transferring them back in the end.
Future wars will definitely take place in the south. Let them learn more from Redar and McKen, and in the future they can also go back and forth between Wubei Territory and Giant Stone Territory to lead the team and guide training.
"Fortunately, there are no hostile forces around Wubei Territory. Usually, we only need to maintain good law and order. Otherwise, we can't allocate people."
Dongdong~
The door was knocked.
Ronin frowned. Who would come to him so late?
But this time he didn't take David and Tom with him, so he had to open the door himself.
The door opened, only to see McKinney who had changed into a more casual dress.
"I haven't bothered you so late, my dear brother."
Luo Ning spread his hands: "Obviously you've disturbed me. I'm ready to sleep."
"Won't you invite me to come in and sit down?"
Luo Ning turned sideways and said with a smile, "Welcome."
He knew that McKinney must have something to talk about when he came so late, and he was quite curious.
"Tell me, sister, why are you looking for me so late?"
McKinney glanced into the bedroom, then sat down on the chair in the room: "You are much more stable than before. I thought you would sleep with your magician."
"Come on, Erin is just a fourteen-year-old girl."
"You can get married at the age of fourteen."
McKinney emphasized, and then said: "There is speculation that she is your lover."
Luo Ning shook his head helplessly: "I just brought her out to see the world and broaden her horizons. However, I can't help what people outside think."
There is a saying that goes well: right and wrong are forced by others, and it is difficult to distinguish right from wrong. This kind of thing cannot be explained clearly, and it will only get darker and darker.
"My mother died early and didn't teach you much. You didn't learn much before, so now I can only remind you. When your status improves, some things cannot be handled so casually."
McKinney said seriously: "You are about to marry Princess Blanche. Before the matter is finalized, if there are rumors that you have a little lover, even if this is not the case, it will bring disgrace to the royal family."
Her tone became solemn: "You have brought hope to the Wushan family. If this kind of thing affects your reputation and makes marriage no longer feasible, then it will be a huge loss to you and the Wushan family! "
Luo Ning frowned. Although it felt bad to be lectured, McKinney did make sense.
"Irene left the party very early. Did you say something to her?"
McKinney nodded: "She is very smart. I just mentioned the matter between you and Blanche, and she left the banquet hall quickly. Although you may blame me, I am really worried that you will invite her to dance and then do Doing things like kissing.”
Luo Ning sighed, "Your worries are unnecessary."
"That's best!"
McKinney smiled and said: "Many nobles have lovers, even your brother-in-law Kabir may have lovers, but don't let these things affect your future Ronin."
"Thank you for your advice, I will remember it."
Luo Ning did not blame the other party for talking nonsense, because the other party was also thinking about him.
"It's a pity that I originally planned to take Eileen to see the world, but I didn't expect that these rumors would affect my mood."
McKinney shook his head: "That little girl has feelings for you. I can see it. She's just a little confused. Maybe she didn't realize it?"
She stood up and said, "Okay, I've finished my words. I heard that you are leaving for Golden Feather City soon. I wish you a pleasant journey."
"Oh, by the way, during this time I have prepared the people Kabir promised you, a total of ten thousand. Please arrange for people to go to Brilliant City to take them away as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Luo Ning smiled: "Thank you, sister, and brother-in-law Kabir!" (End of Chapter)
