The Lord of Ashes

Chapter 442: The Snera Family

He didn't knock on the door directly. Sean just flashed and disappeared from the spot.

With a strong physique, Sean's muscle control ability has reached the extreme.

When he entered the city of Gezis before, Sean did not use flying magic, but jumped lightly with his legs... and flipped in.

With a physique of more than 200 points, Sean is enough to compete with the knights of the same level who have just broken through.

Along with the growth of physique, Sean's fighting style has also changed.

However, Sean did not play his physical advantages much in the battle with the second-level black magician a few years ago.

Including Sean himself, he is not very suitable for close combat with the enemy.

A strong physique only gives Sean an extra layer of backup and hidden means.

I believe that those opponents who regard Sean as a weak magician and try to give him trouble will usher in a "surprise" after approaching Sean!

The architecture of the Snera Mansion is different from the Grant family in the Green Source Land.

The human nobles on the main continent of the wizard world prefer to build castles.

Although a few of these native human nobles in the Western Islands have the habit of building castles, most of them still live in high-ranking courtyards.

Including some areas such as noble service, traditions and concepts, they are also different from the nobles on the wizard continent.

Baron Snera's mansion looks a bit dilapidated from the outside, but after entering, you can find that this baron's mansion is still well maintained.

The entire baron's mansion, just servants, has nearly 200 people.

This is not to mention the guards and servants who patrol and guard the mansion.

Now is the war period, and Baron Snera's mansion originally had 300 guards and servants.

However, 200 of them were recruited by the earl to garrison on the walls of Gezis City.

The only more than 100 guards left in the mansion are the last strength of the Snera family.

If the city of Geizes is finally conquered by the Kingdom of Josephhan, these more than 100 guards will be the last force to protect the Snera family to retreat to the heartland of the Teutonic Kingdom.

Even in times of war, the people who suffer are always the lower-class civilians.

Although the noble class like the Snera family will also fall into hardship due to the impact of the war, at least the noble families have no shortage of food and drink.

And when danger comes, these nobles are definitely the fastest group of people to run.

Many nobles in the city of Geizes have fled to the heartland of the Teutonic Kingdom, or even the capital.

Many female relatives and second and third heirs of the Snera family have also retreated to the rear.

Only Baron Snera himself and his eldest son did not leave.

In addition to the fact that Count Hank of Geizes City kept a close eye on them and did not let Baron Snera and others leave.

Another reason is that Baron Snera and his family are not willing to leave the homeland where they have lived for generations.

Unlike other nobles who have only a few hundred years or even more than a hundred years of history.

The Snera family is an ancient family that has been passed down for thousands of years.

This family's ancestors had obtained the title of earl, but it has been declining since hundreds of years ago.

Not only was the noble title forced to be downgraded, but even among the baron families, the Snera family did not stand out.

Although it was very ordinary among the baron class of the Teutonic Kingdom, the Snera family still had great power in a corner of Gezis City.

The Snera family can be called the second most influential noble in Gezis City besides Count Hank.

The reason for this is not because of the financial resources of the Snera family, nor because of the military force controlled by the Snera family, but because of the land they own.

Nearly two-thirds of the land around the entire Gezis City is suitable for growing buckwheat, which is owned by the Snera family.

Even in the most difficult times, the Snera family would rather sell those treasured antiques than sell their own land.

It comes from the unique wisdom of the successive heads of the Snera family.

Wealth and antiques can be regained, but land is not so easy to get, especially good farmland.

The special situation of the constant war on Qianye Coral Island has made gold and antiques not hard currency in the three kingdoms here. Only food is the eternal truth.

If the war can be slowed down a little, the Snera family, relying on the large tracts of land around Gezis City, can easily turn over in just one or two decades.

The heads of the Snera family of all generations also thought so. Unfortunately, since the Teutonic Kingdom lost a large area of ​​territory more than a hundred years ago, making Gezis City the first line facing the Kingdom of Johnson, the hard days of the Snera family have come.

On average, a war breaks out every few years, not only the loss of civilians around Gezis City is very serious.

Including during the war, the trampling of farmland and the plunder of food are also very eye-catching.

Just over a hundred years ago, the Snera family could easily organize a private army of more than a thousand people.

But now, the equipment required to maintain more than 300 people is already their limit.

As for the more than 200 servants in the mansion... In fact, the Snera family didn't spend much money to support them, just give them food and don't starve to death.

On the contrary, those guards not only need to be well fed, but also need a certain amount of equipment and weapons expenses.

At this time, the current head of the family, Baron Snella, was sitting in a hall at the back of the mansion with a frown on his face.

This year, the Kingdom of Jensen is coming with great momentum, and it is ready to annex eleven cities on the border of the Kingdom of Teutonic. Gezis City is just one of them.

As an ancient family with a thousand-year heritage, although the Snella family seems to have declined and decayed a lot, there are still many heritage items in the family.

Especially more than a hundred years ago, Gezis City was almost destroyed under the pressure of the war of the Kingdom of Jensen.

At that time, the Snella family took out a magic prop that had been passed down for hundreds of years, and defeated the vanguard of the Kingdom of Jensen, so that Gezis City did not fall.

But it was also this experience that made the development of the Snella family over the years mixed.

At that time, the royal family of the Kingdom of Teutonic used the title of nobility as a bargaining chip and a threat price to cheat two precious magic props from the Snella family.

Including Count Hank at this time, he was also constantly eyeing the background of the Snera family.

Whether the city of Geizes can be defended this time, Count Hank's original words, depends on the performance of the Snera family.

"This damn reckless man!" Baron Snera, who was originally well-educated, couldn't help but slap the armrest of his chair.

The Hank family is a knight family, including Count Hank himself, who is also a high-level knight attendant.

This is a strong man who looks rough on the outside, but is very scheming inside.

Obviously, the background of the Hank family is better than that of the Snera family on the surface.

But this guy has not expressed anything so far, just pushing the Snera family forward.
