Warhammer Wizard - Chapter 859 duchy

Qingtan City.

At noon, the three largest magic airships flew from the eastern sky. Their speed was very fast, and they became bigger and bigger in the field of vision. The residents of the city saw a huge square flag hanging on the airship in the middle. Embroidered with double-headed eagle.

The imperial flag, which is the symbol of the consul's travel.

The consul is here!

Pedestrians on the street stopped one after another and looked up at the magical airship in the sky. People's faces were full of excitement and awe, and many people ran to tell them.

The airship quickly flew over the city.

Some people with good eyesight saw a group of extraordinary people wearing exquisite armor standing on the deck, armed with weapons, heavily guarded, exuding a strong breath, everyone wore a double-headed eagle medal on their chest, showing their identity, Rui The Guards!

"Master Consul."

Ren walked out of the cabin, standing at the front of the deck and looking down at the city below to the chorus of salutes by the guards on the deck.

As far as the eye can see, are their own territory and people.

Qingtan City is the largest city in the province of Ossian—now renamed the “Duchy of Ossian”—it is built along a large river, and the urban area is strip-shaped from west to east. The mountains, with just a long valley running from north to south, make the whole city look like a huge "X" symbol.

Naturally, where the river and the valley meet is the urban center of Qingtan City, where the Governor's Palace of the province is located.

Looking to the west is the endless Sain Plateau.

On a plateau more than a hundred miles away, a huge lake is surrounded by several mountain ranges that stretch for hundreds or even thousands of miles.

Even though it is so far away, you can still see the sparkling waves. The water surface reflects the sunlight into the sky, reflecting the blue sky, giving people an illusion, as if there is a huge mirror embedded on the high mountain, "Tianchi Lake" Hence the name.

It is said to be a lake, but when approached, it looks like a sea.

"The world's largest inland lake really lives up to its reputation!" Ren exclaimed.

After a while.

The flying speed of the magic airship slowed down, and at the same time the altitude decreased, the mechanic captain landed the airship on the open space of the Governor's Palace very accurately.

Three airships lined up.

A large number of officials and guards were waiting in the open space. Their eyes were focused on the airship in the middle, but the airship doors on both sides opened first.

boom! boom! boom……

The sound of heavy footsteps seemed to be stepping on people's hearts, and then they saw dozens of extraordinary warriors in blue armor disembark.

They were all wrapped in metal fortress-like armor and could not see their appearance, but their burly bodies with a height of two and a half meters, as well as the trembling aura they exuded, all reminded everyone in the Governor's Mansion of the identity of these extraordinary warriors.

Extreme battle group!

As the Ultramarines disembarked, a group of knights riding bronze galloping horses were exactly five hundred people. Their armors shone with sacred light, carrying strange soul spears, and long swords hanging from their waists. They rode their mounts and flew into the air. Formed a net of heaven and earth surrounding the Governor's Palace.

A large number of dwarves descended from the other airship. Some were wearing armor and holding warhammers and shields. They were obviously dwarven warriors, but more of them were craftsmen.

Finally, the airship in the middle opens the hatch.

The Rick Guards disembarked, and the leading knight held a spear and a square flag. The cavalry spread out in the open space and stood in a row.

With such a battle and pomp, the people in the remote Osi An province have seen the majesty of the imperial consul.

All the people present were in awe, their eyes fixed on the airship's hatch, and their eyes were full of anticipation.

In anticipation, a tall figure appeared in front of him.

His appearance is very young, he seems to be in his early twenties, his tall and straight body is dressed in fitted mithril armor, a strange long sword hangs on his waist, and behind him is a large blood-colored cloak, with a faint smile on his face, making people feel When I saw it, I felt cordial and had a great impression.

Imperial consul!

The youngest Holy Spirit wizard in history, the master of Ossian Province, Duke Jinhui!

He is as young and handsome as the photos in the newspaper, and as powerful and majestic as the rumors describe him. Although there is no trace of breath leaking out, the keen perception and instinct of the superhuman caused inexplicable fear in the hearts of everyone present. Head down.

Ren walked off the airship and saw a group of people standing in the open space.

The leader is a tall and thin middle-aged man. The eye of the soul shows that he is a nineteenth-level shadow assassin, reaching the pinnacle of legend. His strength is quite good. He wears a black formal suit and the two badges on his chest represent two different identities. .

Imperial MP and Governor of the Province.

Ren had an impression of this person, the Governor of Oscean Province, Moserio, but the two sides have not had contact because Moserio is from the balance camp.

"Meet the Archon!"

Mercerio saluted loudly and took the lead in half-kneeling.

Behind him, the officials of the Governor's Palace and the extraordinary guards, as well as the mayors and major officials from the other four cities, and all the upper-level figures in Qingtan City, all bowed down and shouted: "Meet the consul. !"

"Your Excellency the Governor does not need to be more polite." Ren responded mildly: "Everyone, get up."

"Yes."

Moserio Oriso got up, took two steps forward and said, "Sir, I once met you in the Temple of Truth, but unfortunately I was not able to listen to your teaching face to face. Now that my lord has come to Qingtan City, I am finally lucky. Make up for the previous regrets, it is really the protection of the goddess!"

Ren smiled without saying a word. Since he became a consul, this kind of flattery has been heard.

"I don't dare to teach, Your Excellency the Governor is older than me." Ren still said politely, "I would also like to thank Your Excellency the Governor for voting for me in the Imperial Parliament."

"It is my lifetime honor to be able to vote for your lord." Mercerio had a proud expression on his face.

Ren stopped chatting and looked at the crowd behind Moserio, "Your Excellency the Governor, please introduce me to me."

"OK."

Moserio introduced the main officials and upper-level figures of Osang province one by one.

In fact, before he came, Ren had already sent someone to collect information about the characters, and roughly grasped the various forces of Osian. Now that he meets people in person, it corresponds to the information in his mind one by one.

Everyone was respectful in front of Ren and greeted him with a smile.

However, when the eyes of the soul saw their smiling faces, some people were uneasy, some were trembling, some were just pretending, and some were even indifferent and full of hostility towards themselves, but they didn't dare to show it.

They are vested interests in Osang province, and now that the entire province has become a private domain, there will always be people whose interests will be harmed.

Usually strong dragons do not overwhelm local snakes.

But they are giant dragons, and they are just little snakes in the grass. It is not much harder to crush them than to crush ants.

Ren kept these hostile people in mind, Osi An province is his own territory, and no thorns are allowed.

All the bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods who dare to take the lead, they will never show mercy and clear them all.

"Othian has just become my duchy."

Ren stood in front of the crowd and said in a low voice, "I'm new here, and I'm not familiar with the territory. You have been in Osi An for many years, and I can't do without your help in governing the territory. I will rely on you in the future."

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

"As long as the Duke speaks a word, we will never shirk." Gu

"We unconditionally obey the will of the consul!"

Everyone hurriedly expressed their position, and some people slapped their chests loudly, and they did not forget to flatter a few words that were exaggerated. Ren has been observing with the eyes of the soul. Most people are trying to please, but some people are not sincere, and they are people who are hostile to themselves.

Ren sneered in his heart, and his tone suddenly became cold: "The ugly words are ahead, I have great expectations for the Duchy of Ossian, and I plan to use it as a development pilot and then promote it in the empire. Soon after, Ossian There are even bigger changes in the duchy, and everything is going in a good direction."

"If anyone dares to say one thing and do another, and make a stumbling block behind their backs, once I find out, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Speaking of the back, a terrifying aura swept across.

The crowd in the open space felt the coldness in the consul's words, and their souls trembled, and the whole scene was silent.

The most powerful Governor Moserio also lowered his head and did not dare to make a sound.

"It's all gone."

Ren waved his hand, and the crowd didn't dare to stay for a second, so they left quickly. As the governor, Moserio couldn't walk, so he said bravely, "Sir, I'll take you to visit the governor's palace?"

"Excuse me, Your Excellency the Governor."

Ren's smile reappeared on his face, which made Mercerio relieved and bowed: "Please come with me."

The Governor's Mansion occupies a large area. In addition to a five-story office building, there are seven or eight buildings scattered around it and a courtyard. It is not only the residence of provincial officials, but also an extraordinary team of about 2,000 people. Guarded barracks.

The strength of this extraordinary army is of course far inferior to that of the Imperial Legion. The average level is less than two levels, and the weapons and equipment are also very poor. It is called the "Osi An Security Team".

They are under the command of the Governor and are responsible for city policing and border patrol.

There are four other cities in Osian, whose population economy and scale are not as good as Qingtan City, but there are also a certain number of security teams, and the entire province has nearly 4,000 extraordinary guards.

Othian is now the duchy of Rennes.

According to the regulations, the officials, the public, and all the extraordinary security teams in the territory are all under the name of Ren, who can freely appoint officials, canonize lower-level nobles, collect taxes by themselves, and be responsible for all administrative expenses. .

But there is one exception, and that is the Governor of the Province.

This position is appointed by the consul of the empire, and after the province becomes a duchy, there is no longer a governor.

For the rest of Othian, it may be just a nominal change of duke, but for the governor, it is a huge loss.

The Governor-General is a top official in the vassal region. He covers the sky with one hand in the province. He wants power, authority, and people.

The power is so great that it is essentially the same as that of a duke.

Othian became a duchy, and the governor lost everything.

In the process of visiting the Governor's Palace, Ren has been observing Moserio with the eyes of the soul. The other party is very respectful to him on the surface, and he knows everything. Even some secret things are told frankly. And unwilling to hide deep in the bottom of my heart, there is a little resentment, but not strong.

Ren can understand Moserio's mood.

It was me, and suddenly a person was parachuted into the air and robbed him of everything he had. This person's prestige status was too high, and the strength gap was so great that he didn't even have the courage to resist. The only way out was to accept this.

When Mercerio introduced the upper-level figures in Ossian just now, Ren could see that this governor was very prestigious in the local area.

It can also be observed from the question and answer that Mercerio's ability is very good, and he is an honest person.

I secretly investigated beforehand, and the Ossian province has a good evaluation of the governor, and it can be ranked in the forefront of the governors of other provinces in the empire.

Ren is not shy about giving opportunities to such talents.

After a moment, in the large office on the top floor of the Governor's Palace, Ren was sitting in the seat that originally belonged to Moserio, while Moserio stood in front of him with his hands tied across the table, looking like he was waiting for the judgment of fate.

"Motherio." Ren asked, "How long have you been in Osi An?"

"Thirty-three years."

Ren nodded. After working as the governor of the province for so many years, he could see Moserio's ability, and asked again, "Your family is in Qingtan City, right?"

"Yes, my lord." Mercerio's heart tightened, but he answered truthfully.

"Your family is rooted in Osi An, and your career and interests are also in this place. Now that I have deprived you of everything, will you hate me?" Ren asked playfully.

Moserio was suddenly startled, waved his hands again and again, and smiled bitterly: "How dare I hate you! Your lord is the imperial consul, or the Holy Soul Wizard of the Supreme Council, even if you give me a hundred more courage, I dare not be right. You have a complaint."

"Really not at all?" Ren stared at him.

"I was really unwilling at the beginning." Mercerio hesitated and said boldly: "Just the day before yesterday, I went to the floating city of Flannes to see the Duke, but he didn't see me, only let Master Otiluke Bring me a message and let me stand by in peace."

He sighed, "Actually, I know the situation very well. Even if the Duke is willing to see me, there is no solution, so I accept it."

"I'm going to take my family to Lumpis after handing over to the adults."

Rompus is the duchy of Tim Kennan and the city where the Flannery Floating City is located.

The Eye of the Soul saw that what Moserio had said was the truth.

Ren stared at Moserio for a few seconds, but didn't speak. The inexplicable pressure made his forehead sweat, and suddenly he heard Ren say: "I'll give you two choices now: the first one, Suranye province. The position of the governor of the city is just vacant, and I can appoint you as the governor of Suranye as compensation..."

Moserio couldn't help feeling ecstatic.

Suranyeh province is adjacent to Osian province, just to the east of Ossian, with an area more than three times larger than Ossian and a population of 30 million. Since Governor Hutts died in Bambe City, I don't know how many people in the Empire have been staring at this Governor's position, but they didn't expect it to fall on their own heads.

Moreover, the province of Suranye is also the sphere of influence of the Duke of Grey Eagle.

Further east from Suranye is the Duchy of Lumpis, who was originally a balancer, and the Duke will definitely support this appointment.

Mercerio almost agreed immediately, and finally managed to hold back his voice.

He continued to listen to Ren's words: "Alternatively, you can stay in Qingtan City, but you can no longer serve as the governor. I will hire you as the governor of the Duchy of Osian to assist me in governing the territory, but it is only temporary, it depends on you. Your performance will determine your future promotion."

After that, Ren was waiting for Mercerio's response.

He was willing to give Mercerio a chance, in addition to the opponent's ability and familiarity with Osian, he also took a fancy to Mercerio's personal talent.

Moserio is a legendary peak shadow assassin, but he is just over a hundred years old, quite young, and has a great chance to break through the holy rank and become the king of shadows!

If you help him, maybe he will be promoted in a few years.

Of course, the premise is that you choose to stay.

After listening to the two choices, Mercerio showed hesitation on his face.

He has been the governor for more than 30 years~www.novelbuddy.com~ Although he is a poor border province, he is very concerned about the upper-level structure of the empire. He knows how much power and influence Ren has in the empire now, surpassing the previous consuls. Almost the ruler of the empire!

How many people want to hug Ren's thighs have no chance.

But staying means breaking away from the Balance faction. He can have today's strength and status, most of which is due to his own efforts, but he is also inseparable from the support of the Flanis Floating City. My own character, or from personal feelings, is not easy to accept for a while.

Once you leave, there is no turning back.

Motheridon suddenly remembered what happened in Flanes the day before yesterday, and felt a little gloomy in his heart. Obviously, he did not have much weight in the eyes of the Duke.

Maybe, it's time to choose another way, you can't miss a golden opportunity!

The hesitation on his face quickly subsided, he bowed to Ren, and said loudly: "Motherio sees the Duke."
