Chapter 348

The eldest prince and the third prince were miraculously still alive, which could relatively restore the reputation of some of the Thorny Grand Dukes.

Although these two princes will never be destined to be the throne again in their lives.

It is impossible for Grand Duke Thorn to give up that throne.

How come that sentence is said? If the Grand Duke of Thorns sits in that position, everyone in the neutral sect will be based on the dragon's merit.

If Grand Duke Jingthorn does not sit in that position, everyone in the neutral sect will be rebels!

Rand had already promised Grand Duke Thorn to help him deal with some things. He probably would have to stay in Frost Moon King City for a while, and then go back to the resort villa. I guess there would be no less.

In short, Rand is about to be promoted to the king's hand.

Thinking of this, Rand couldn't help but sigh.

But being the king's hand is not all a disadvantage.

Rand finally gained status in the political field.

Rand was born as a nobleman in military merits. At the beginning, Rand relied on war to defeat them.

Then start to develop the economy.

Before this second Frost Moon Kingdom Civil War, Rand's economic and military influence were both outstanding in the country.

But lacks political power.

It’s not that Rand’s political influence is very weak, but that if Rand doesn’t deliberately manage it, he will not be able to integrate into it in a short period of time.

The last time the Poron Kingdom invaded, the quality of the troops supported by Rand in China was very low, which is why.

Simple economic bondage cannot make the nobles really bleed for Rand.

And now, Rand's political influence has finally transformed into substantial power and status.

Of course, it will make Rand even busier in the future.

However, Rand can also make some policy releases.

Use policies to support Rand's own economic and military development.

Rand's initial vision is to strengthen domestic population mobility and allow more adventurers to come to the resort to adventure and work.

And, can some villagers or nobles also come to the Earl of Moon Phase to get a job?

It is difficult for Rand to capture the population now. So can this method increase the population in disguise?

The army can have some mercenaries and the population can have more migrant labor.

However, you have to think about all these things slowly. If you do it too much, it will not be conducive to domestic development.

What Rand wants to do is win-win.

...

At the same time, in the City of Undead, the senior executives of the Natural Scourge Cult on the Obsidian Tower discovered that the energy demand in the Frost Moon Kingdom had disappeared.

However, the Archbishop of the Natural Disaster came to induce it personally, and it was not clear whether the undead in the Frost Moon King City who could receive the power of the undead from a distance was destroyed, or was it just a simple disconnection.

The Obsidian Tower has no communication function, so the Archbishop of the Scourge is not sure where.

but!

Since some special situations can occur, it has proved that there is a space invaded by the Natural Scourge Cult in the Kingdom of Frost Moon.

Chapter 412 Tan's marriage, Grand Duke Thorn ascends the throne, changes in the Nicholas family (5000!!)

Grand Duke Thorns was not surprised that Rand could easily deal with the harm of the palace.

Unfortunately, his cousin's bodies could not be kept in this world.

Cremation is now being arranged.

As for the undead inside and outside the city, which was revived due to the influence of the Death Knight's power, they are being handled by Tan's command.

Rand's army has many cattle and horses and flying cattle and horses. These twisted creatures can suppress the undead and make them more likely to be killed.

For example, under the influence of twisted creation, ghosts will lose their physical damage immunity and will no longer be able to penetrate walls.

Although Taner himself was injured, his command ability was good. The military and political center temporarily built on the Frost Moon King City Square was in charge of command. The undead who was already a rootless tree was beaten to retreat step by step.

It is estimated that the undead inside and outside the Frost Moon King City will be dealt with by Tan Er soon.

These thorny masters saw it and couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Earl Rand himself has great abilities, and he has so many capable people under his command, and he looks loyal.

In this way, as Rand's trusted confidant, Taner seems to have not yet been married.

Grand Duke Thorn touched his chin.

His direct daughter has not yet been married.

Of course, this is a marriage, but Grand Duke Thorn is very optimistic about Tan Er.

He has always been foresighted. If he doesn't try it now, he may not have a chance in the future.

Although Tel's current title is just the baron that Rand canonized him.

Koland himself is just an earl. When Rand's title is later operational, Taner, as Rand's confidant, will definitely follow up.

Moreover, regardless of the title, only status, as the confidant of the king's hand and the general who led the army, Taner's status is definitely not low.

It's time to discuss with Rand to give it a try.

It is difficult for my aunt, Grand Duke Jing Thorn, to keep commanding, otherwise Grand Duke Jing Thorn himself would be beaten.

But his daughter, to be honest, was well-educated by the Lord Thorns, and might be able to reach a marriage with Taner.

The Grand Duke of Thorns must find ways to reach a political marriage with Rand.

Rand himself can't do it, so it's okay to settle for the second best. Rand's general is also OK.

Although Rand promises to help with government affairs, Grand Duke Jing knows very well what Rand's personality is and may disappear at any time.

It's actually nothing. Even if Rand runs back to the crescent collar, he still has to deal with the work he has been mailing to him as the new king.

This Grand Duke of Thorns is very confident that he can catch Rand.

The problem lies in politics.

Once Rand leaves the royal city and returns to the Count of Moon Phases, it would be a bit difficult for Grand Duke Thorn to govern the entire Frost Moon Kingdom alone.

Faced with the aristocratic forces in the country, the orc problem that has not been dealt with now, and the Southern Kingdom is eyeing it.

And, what kind of disaster will the City of the Undead cause, these problems are quite troublesome.

There will be some trivial matters in governing the country.

For example, the contradictions between some nobles and the distribution of interests after the end of this war also took a long time to argue.

This all needs to be dealt with by the Grand Duke of Thorns, and to borrow Rand's political influence when it is necessary to have enough voice.

Grand Duke Thorn must obtain a tough ally relationship with Rand that is understandable in the eyes of outsiders to prove that at least in a short period of time, the two sides will not break up.

...

Rand rested for three days before his health was basically "healed" and reappeared.

When I came to the office of Grand Duke Thorn, Grand Duke Thorn was still processing the documents.

Seeing Rand coming, Grand Duke Thorn waved to disperse others, leaving only the Bucks Earl and a few confidants.

The thirteenth son of the Black Brown Marquis family is also here.

The dark green eyes of the Grand Duke of Thorns were as deep as ever. He sighed and said, "I will succeed to the throne the day after tomorrow."

"I will deal with security issues and maintaining order." Rand took on some work directly, and he was relieved to do these things by himself. There must be no problem with the safety of Grand Duke Thorns.

Although Rand was very suspicious, Grand Duke Thorn himself was also the unfathomable one.

But Grand Duke Thorn never encounters a time when he has to use personal force.

Grand Duke Thorns are very relieved to hand over the security issues to Rand.

Grand Duke Thorn nodded and continued, "I will pass the title of Grand Duke Thorn to my eldest son Adrian, and I, Marcus Frost Moon, will succeed the throne of the Kingdom of Frost Moon."

These were things discussed before the war, and Rand and the Bucks Earl naturally had no objection.

"Then it's the Lord Bucks Earl." Grand Duke Thorn looked at the Bucks Earl, "The territory of the Bucks will be replaced, and the territory of the Bucks will be replaced to the area near the royal city. It will be a real marquis. It's a fertile land."

"You can now call you Marquis of the Bucks," said Grand Duke Thorn. "You will also serve as Foreign Minister."

The Frost Moon Kingdom basically governs the country with great nobles, but they will also divide positions such as the Foreign Minister and the Finance Minister. These positions are often in vain, but the Grand Duke of Thorns obviously wants to take advantage of them.

The Bucks Earl is very good at negotiating, and has a good relationship with domestic aristocrats, except for a few.

The Bucks Earl is also good at taking sides, holding banquets, and managing caravans.

The Grand Duke of Thorns needed the wisdom of the Bucks Earl to reconcile domestic aristocratic relations and handle diplomatic affairs.

"The position of the Minister of Military Affairs will be empty." Grand Duke Thorns looked at the Thirteenth son of the Black Brown Marquis.

Then Grand Duke Jingthorn talked about some rewards to the Black and Brown Family.

Finally, it's Rand.

"The King's Hand, Rand." Grand Duke Thorn announced.

Unfortunately, Rand, who had obtained such a powerful position, was not very happy.

"When I succeed to the throne, I will enthrone you as the Grand Duke and enjoy a vast territory." said Grand Duke Thorn.

Rand was a little stunned.

This is not what we had discussed before.

It would be meaningless to enthrone Rand as the Grand Duke.

Rand's merits were indeed so numerous that the minstrels could not finish singing for several days and nights.

It is indeed worthy of the merits of the Duke.

But it's a pity.

Rand's accumulation is far from enough to support the title of Duke.

Even if Land is enthroned such a large land, Land is unable to manage it.

Ineffective land will only become a burden.

There is no border land around the Earl of Moon Phase to enthrone. There is only the Kingdom of Rence, the Kingdom of Poren, the Bucks Earl of Black Brown Marquis around it.

Thinking of this, Rand understood.

Replacing the territory for the Bucks Earl and feeding him land, but it is still far from enough.

"Rand, the Great Duke of the Moon," Marcus Frostmoon announced. "The original land of the Bucks family will become part of your direct territory, but more will depend on you to seize it from the Kingdom of Renza and the Kingdom of Poren. Now."

It’s not that the Grand Duke of Thorns cannot enthrone more territory to Rand.

But as Rand thought, Rand had only been a noble for five years. Compared with the aristocratic family that had been in operation for decades and hundreds of years, they had accumulated too little.

Rand's number of talents was difficult to support him in direct governance of too much territory.

Moreover, if there are too many enthrones, it will cause criticism from domestic nobles and will be detrimental to the future national stability.

However, the Grand Duke can be given the title first, and then it depends on how far Rand can expand his territory.

Marcus believes that Rand's external expansion can bring prosperity to the Frost Moon Kingdom.

Although now, it will not be easy for Rand to eat the original territory of the Bucks family.

Even if the Bucks Marquis will help him.

Although Rand was a little surprised by Marcus's enthronement, it was still good to think about it. It was also good to get the name first.

"That's nothing?" Rand asked.

Marcus said, “One more thing.”

Rand waited for Marcus to continue.

Marcus said that he wanted his eldest daughter to marry Taner.

Rand was a little stunned again.
