The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich

The Chauvin Dominion, the name says a lot, it is not a country, but just a "self-administered territory", and even for a long period of time, it was isolated from the diplomatic circle of the entire Northland.

In the fantasy world dominated by the feudal era, human lords and nobles are not only a status, but also a responsibility of blood inheritance, and of course, a right.

In Ashe, which has nothing to do with peace, nobles have a series of enviable privileges. For example, as long as they surrender in time, they can generally save their lives. As long as they pay enough ransom, they can return home relatively decently. Civil war, this is also the reason why human aristocrats will fight desperately once they encounter a foreign war. On the battlefield, you will die or I will die, and the civil war will be relatively less intense.

And another enviable privilege is probably to be a lord, only aristocrats. This is a helpless unspoken rule, but it is taken for granted by the world.

There are few ways for commoners to become nobles. The most reliable way is to reclaim wasteland by force. Even if they succeed in opening up new territories, such pioneering knights are regarded as inferior. At least until three or four generations ago, it is impossible to enter the big of the aristocratic circle.

And such a relatively closed class concept is common in all countries. The intermarriage of nobles in various countries has deepened the "circle culture". In the face of a powerful enemy, the royal family is still desperate, but the nobles have surrendered to the reality of the enemy because of a bigger bargaining chip.

Aristocratic heraldry is just the study of the history of nobles in various countries, family emblems, blood inheritance, interests of nobles, and inheritance rights. A specialized discipline has emerged. It takes several years to study. In a sense, it is really enough. Idle...ahem, this is a kind of culture.

As for the Chauvin Dominion, when it couldn't even be called an independent country, the Haber family, as the lord, was recognized by the aristocratic circles in the North. Because Jagalol Huber's lineage originated from Lan Kingdom, and was once a local nobleman of Lan Kingdom at that time.

Things like history and the honor of ancestors are not worth mentioning when you meet someone you don't recognize, but if you throw them into the aristocratic circle who talk about the honor of ancestors every day. What a thing.

Unlike the relatively stable central area of ​​the mainland, the history of the tried and tested nobles of the Northland is not long. The maps of various countries have changed again and again. Families of three or four hundred years have a long history, and the Hubble inherited from Lan Kingdom Er family. It was not recognized when the Lan tribe was in decline, but when the Lan tribe rose again in the Northland, they got a free ride all of a sudden.

Therefore, even though it is only the lord of a dominion, "Cunning Fox" Gargalore dared to yell at the earls and marquises of various countries. With the advantages of landlords and past reputation, the lords of the royal families of various countries really obeyed. For his deployment, he sent his own bodyguards and mercenaries.

After all, this is not a civil war between human kingdoms,

Once the line of defense is breached. Hungry beasts will not save your life because of your noble blood, on the contrary, the pampered noble children's fine skin, tender meat and fat body are more delicious.

"Damn it, where did these beast hordes come from? The mercenaries have already dispersed all the beast herds on the map."

Facing the endless hordes of beasts, the Chauvin Dominion had already abandoned all the outer defense lines, and the outer cities were captured one by one, and the villagers who hadn't had time to move had no chance of surviving.

In front of the herd, the once-famous Chauvin Guard Corps and mercenaries performed very poorly, with chaotic organization and lack of personnel. The result of long-term lack of training is that even weapons and equipment are not prepared, and lives are lost in vain. Under the threat of wild beasts, deserters actually appeared.

The Chauvin Dominion used its own experience to teach all the Northland lords present a lesson. Even if you have entered a period of internal peace, you cannot hand over the sword to protect yourself to others.

Out of the 20,000-strong professional soldiers, less than 4,000 were actually able to play, while the patchwork of temporary mercenaries and bodyguards easily formed ten thousand-man teams.

This is actually quite normal, there are herd threats in the wild these days. It is normal for a noble lord to bring hundreds of mercenaries and bodyguards. Hundreds of nobles can easily gather tens of thousands of armed forces, and they are all elite soldiers such as personal guards, professional bodyguards, and mage consultants. It seems to be stronger than the regular army.

And those who dare to wander around the whole Northland with one or two bodyguards are even better, after all, that only shows that the strength of a single strong man is more than a hundred professional fighters.

The more noble the person is, the stronger the camouflage around them is. Many royal families and noble nobles in the Chauvin Dominion have temporarily mobilized and organized civilians as a line of defense. It is better to ask these people for help.

As worthy of his reputation as a cunning fox, Jiajiaruoer insisted on finding a way out of desperation, and his own prestige and relationship with Lan Kingdom also made his appeal play a real role.

Now, thanks to the mercenaries and bodyguards brought by the lords from all over the place, taking advantage of the city walls, they managed to piece together a temporary line of defense and successfully intercepted the vanguard of the herd.

But in the face of the endless beast hordes in the wild, no one knew how long they could last. The only thing they could count on was probably that reinforcements would arrive as soon as possible.

"Eagle tribe? They should be the nearest reinforcements."

The barbarian tribes allied with the Chauvin Dominion lived in the mountains not far from Chauvin. They were the most likely reinforcements to arrive, but only Jagalore knew that the trusted barbarian allies could not be counted on.

"...they have made a lot of money selling ore these years. Who still lives in the deep mountains and suffers from the cold? Most of them have moved to big cities to enjoy their fortunes. There are only some miners in the mountains."

In a sense, what the barbarians will do after earning money is indeed worth discussing. Some people may think that they will use gold coins to improve and repair their own villages, while the barbarians of the Eagle tribe But they gave the most direct answer, they took the money and went to the city to become local tyrants... They are all rich, but who is still shirtless on the mountain.

"The barbarian elves and half-orc tribes around? They should still have enough combat power, we pay them to help rescue, no matter the cost!"

There are quite a few mixed-race residents in the Chauvin Dominion, but most of the people living in the city-states are mixed-race people who have accepted human culture. Those mixed-race tribes who advocate orc totem culture and life in the mountains of elves are also scattered among the city-states of the Chauvin Dominion. outside.

They have maintained a strange relationship with the Chauvin Dominion. They often come down to the city to buy daily necessities, but they always refuse the penetration and assimilation of human culture.

Their combat power is extremely good. Eight years ago, it would have been a good idea to ask for help from them of the same origin. But now, Jagalol is full of remorse in his heart, regretting why he was so quick and ruthless.

"...Now there are still primitive barbaric tribes. Our travel plan has opened up all those tribes as tourist attractions. Various bandit villages and tribal style streets are well received by tourists. Those barbaric mixed-race warriors..."

"...Won't they all be killed? Or were they expelled?"

The attendant was shocked. As the lord's guard, he had never heard of such a thing. Could it be a bloody secret massacre?

"Is this a thing of that era? Who still does this kind of thing these days? It's better to make a fortune together than to fight and kill. They take a huge amount of compensation for demolition and want to go to the elves to go directly to the elves' kingdom to buy a house and a household registration. Anyway They are not afraid of being bullied with the support of Lanmeng. Those who want to experience the life of real orcs can take the money and go to the orc plain. I only received their letter a few months ago. It is like living the life of an emperor. I can spend money to buy a chief, and I am envious of the small life I live."

In a sense, the Chauvin Dominion has also risen. The result of every inch of land and gold around it is that everyone looks at the money together, and then the possible reinforcements around them are "developed" and "opened up" one by one.

The rest are business people who make a fortune together, expecting businessmen to go to the battlefield? That is naked murder.

As a lord, Jagalore may not be very qualified, but he is also recognized as a talented person in the North...an outstanding business genius, but now, he is full of helplessness and regrets.

"I can only hope that Lan Country will catch up, the fleet should be in time, no, for the gold coins that will belong to me in the future, there must be time..."
