my fortress

Chapter 178 Interests (please order first)
"Master, maybe what you said is right, human desire is infinite!" Cumberland, who was in the mountain temple of Thunder Mountain, came to the highest peak of the mountain temple, and stood respectfully in front of the statue of the squatting mountain god, incomparably Said in frustration!
"Maybe I, like you, should dedicate my life to my God!"

As the high priest of the mountain god temple, and also the wise man and prophet of the entire barbarian tribe, standing by the mountain god statue, his back was extremely desolate.

At this moment, he no longer has the kind of passion and blood he had when he stood in front of the master for more than 200 years, only endless regret!

With a wave of his hand, a vortex of time and space suddenly appeared in front of the huge statue in front of him. He turned around and took a look at the mountain he had fought for for more than 200 years. He sighed and stepped firmly into the space in front of the statue. In the vortex!
With the disappearance of his figure, the space-time vortex also slowly disappeared.

Immediately, a hazy light enveloped the entire mountain peak, and the entire mountain peak slowly disappeared as if being hidden in a thick fog!

The whole group of temples seemed to be cut out from the middle by something!
As the main hall of the mountain temple, the changes in the main hall were immediately discovered by the people of the temple, and some priests at the bottom began to panic!
Facing the panic of the low-level priests in the temple, the priests in charge of each branch temple gathered together after they knew the changes in the main temple of the mountain god for the first time!
"Lord Humphrey, everyone below is panicking now, what should we do?" The gathered crowd asked one of the old men who was dressed in unusually gorgeous clothes.

Looking at the eyes of everyone, the old man suddenly smiled and said in an excited tone.

"Hahaha, since the Prophet has decided to worship my god wholeheartedly, how can we interfere with him again?"

Hearing his words, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then laughed at the same time.

"Yes, as believers of my god, we should not interfere with the wise man's belief in my god!"

Everyone echoed what Humphrey said!
A few hours after the main hall suddenly disappeared, the twelve branches of the temple jointly issued an announcement.

[The Prophet Cumberland received the favor of the mountain god and began to hit the god level. He specially ordered that from today onwards, during the period of the prophet's training, all affairs of the mountain temple will be negotiated and handled by our twelve branch halls! 】

Regarding the announcement jointly issued by the Twelve Branch Halls, the impact of the disappearance of the main hall of the Mountain God and the wise man of Cumberland at the same time suddenly became extremely weak!

Especially those lower-level people of various tribes firmly believe that the wise men of Cumberland, who are favored by the mountain gods, will be able to successfully advance to the god level and bring a brighter future for their barbarians!
At the same time, Tracy, who was hunting in the glacier land, stopped suddenly, turned around and looked in the direction of Thunder Mountain, sighed suddenly, then his face became extremely firm, and continued to head towards the glacier land Go deeper!

"Everyone, I called you here today because I need to inform you about something!" In the palace of Ironthorn City, Federer sat on the throne in the palace hall with half-closed eyes and said.

On both sides of the main hall, one side was full of elders from the Imperial House of Elders headed by Haydn Bell, and on the other side were various officials from the military department headed by Brian.

"Please speak, Your Majesty!" Everyone in the hall said in unison after hearing Federer's words.

"Bryan, this matter involves your military department, so it's up to you!" Hearing what everyone said, Federer looked at Brian and said.

"Of course, Your Majesty!" Hearing Federer's words, Brian respectfully replied, then stood up and took out a parchment.

"Yesterday, the military department received a battle report from Locke, the lord of Maple City. The Viscount Yifei of the Wild Wolf family led his family's knights to wipe out all the outlaws who violated the will of the empire in the Delia plateau. And successfully added a new piece of land to the empire, so the military believes that the military exploits of the Wild Wolf family are enough to elevate their family's title!"

As soon as Brian finished speaking, Federer spoke!

"Grand Duke Hayden Bell, what do you think of this decision of the military department?"

Hearing Federer's words, Haydn Bell, who was standing in the main hall, exchanged glances with the old men beside him, and immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, since the military department thinks that his combat achievements are enough to elevate his title, then we Of course, the Hall of Elders has no objections. We agree to elevate his title to the first level!"

"No, Grand Duke Haydn Bell, according to the laws and regulations formulated when the empire was founded, anyone who expands the territory must be granted a title; whoever has a title, the title will be promoted! Therefore, we believe that it is completely against The agreement between the sacred Emperor Iron Thorn and the families!"

As soon as Hayden Bell's words fell, Brian immediately retorted!

"General Bryan, there are very detailed standards in the agreement. The land to be conquered must have a county, and the title can be promoted to a higher level. The wild wolf family only conquered the Delia Plateau. There is no such barren land at all. Meet the standards in the regulations!"

Hearing what Brian said, Haydn Bell said very confidently.

"I'm very sorry, but I forgot to tell you one more thing, Grand Duke Hayden Bell, the Wild Wolf family has subdued seven barbarian tribes including the Thunderhawk tribe, the Hound tribe, and the Yager tribe..."

Then Brian said with a smile.

As soon as Brian said this, Haydn Bell knew that this must be a trap he had set up long ago, and the purpose was to elicit the sentence he just said!
"Grand Duke Hayden Bell, since the land conquered by the Wild Wolf Clan is already a county, do you think the title of Viscount Yifei is..." At this moment, Brian looked at Grand Duke Hayden Bell in front of him and asked with a smile.

"Since the wild wolf family has reached the standard, let's promote it. He was the third-class viscount before, so let's promote him to the third-class earl!" After Brian finished speaking, Hayden Bell did not object anymore, and clicked nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, please sign this letter of commendation!" A few minutes later, Haydn Bell took out a parchment and respectfully said to Frederick on the throne.

Federer took the scroll, quickly signed his name, and stamped it with the seal representing the royal family!
"Your Majesty, since the wolf family has conquered a county, shouldn't a new county be established?" Carl, who was standing aside, asked suddenly after Federer stamped the parchment. road.

"Yes, Your Majesty, since the Wild Wolf family already owns a county, I think their family should take on more responsibilities!" Hearing Carl's words, Haydn Bell immediately reacted and said hastily.

Hearing his words, Federer glanced at Carl and Haydn Bell meaningfully, and said calmly: "These are matters that your Elder Hall is responsible for, you should discuss it yourself, and report directly to the I'll do it!

If you want, you can also set up a new province, after all, their family is still very good at subduing the barbarians! "

"Obey, Your Majesty!" Hearing what Federer said, Haydn Bell immediately said happily.

Regarding the suggestion that Karl just made, Federer knew very well why the Cacedon family made such a request.

Because the movement of the wild wolf family scared them during this period, especially the establishment of the space-time channel, it touched the sensitive nerve in their hearts.

They can't guarantee that before they can establish time and space, the wild wolf family will suddenly build a time and space channel directly leading to the sanctuary on a whim, and then suddenly, from an imperial territory to a principality!
In that case, according to the regulations of Sanctuary, Yefeng County must be assigned to the Wild Wolf Family and become part of its Principality!

But in front of their Cachedon family, Yefeng County is already on their plate, and they certainly don't want to fly away like this.

As the king of a country, he also has such worries. In Maple Leaf Province, the only piece of land that still belongs to the royal family is Yefeng County. Of course, he doesn't want the royal family's territory to become smaller!
As long as the territory of the Wild Wolf Clan also becomes a county of the empire, when the Wild Wolf Clan becomes a principality, he only needs to give a little bit of land symbolically to express his congratulations, without assigning the entire Yefeng County to the Wild Wolf Clan!

It would be even better if it became a province, he wouldn't even have to give up that bit of symbolic land!

After all, the nature of Maple Leaf County is completely different from that of the Khajid area. The land in the Khajid area is only owned by the empire in name, but in essence, they have always belonged to the barbarians in the Khadz area.

Therefore, he has no reason not to agree to something that is very in line with the interests of the royal family!
