King’s Kingdom

"Of course, you are seventeen years old this year, which is the best age to get married. In fact, you should have been married last year, but because a lot of things happened at that time, it was delayed until now!"

"The country is booming now, so your marriage must be put on the agenda. A king has no heir. This is a very big hidden danger for a kingdom. You have to solve this problem in a short time!" Mrs. Pat did not give Opportunity for Theodosius to resist, in which she has an arbitrary right.

Looking at Theodosius' expression, Mrs. Pat was helpless: "Besides, do you think I don't know about you and that female elf? If you don't marry Critidos, you can't give that Female elf name!"

Speaking of which, I have to talk about the marriage law within the Rine Kingdom and even the Hilkati Empire.

As king, Theodosius could have a wife and four second wives, and the children born to them also had the right to inherit, but they were lower in the line of succession than the children of the first wife.

Generally speaking, the first wife of most people is the fiancée given by their parents, and the other four wives can be chosen by themselves.

However, you are not allowed to marry other wives until you are married to your fiancée. Such rigid regulations are not only in the state, but also in the polytheistic church.

For example, in the battle formation sect believed in by the Lanyin Kingdom, it is still a crime to marry another person before marrying the fiancee whom he had already decided on.

Of course, those who do not have a fiancee are not included in this list. Even commoners will choose a fiancee when their children are thirteen or fourteen years old.

Such a marriage system naturally made Theodosius very satisfied. I am afraid that no man would be unwilling to marry more wives.

In fact, such a marriage system appeared 4,000 years ago. At that time, the war between the Eight Holy Kings and the dark creatures had just ended. Countless human armies fought one after another on the battlefield against powerful non-human species, causing great casualties.

Descendants speculate that in that war that lasted for more than 30 years, at least 40% of the human males on the Dragon Continent died directly on the battlefield. It was a real family of men who fought together, grandfather, father, and son three generations. Serving in the military is innumerable.

Later, due to the sharp decline in the population, the number of males was even more pitiful. After the holy kings communicated with the leaders of the church at that time, they finally released the constraints of the monogamy system, hoping that such a new system could be used to speed up the population. speed of recovery.

However, such a system is naturally not without its drawbacks. From a macro perspective, the wealthy aristocrats can provide for more spouses, while the lower class can only have one or two wives. In the long run, the children of noble families will become more and more The more, the more stable the position.

However, for Theodosius, this is an uncompromisingly good system. As a king, no matter how many children he has, he doesn't have to worry about it, but he is less worried about extinction.

At the same time, it can make the ruling position of the Orteban family more stable. More than half of Theodosius' important ministers are his relatives, and half of the knights are from the Orteban family.

Under such circumstances, it was almost impossible for other families to usurp Theodosius' rights and throne.

After hesitating for a while, Theodosius nodded and stopped expressing his objection. In the end, he didn't dislike Kritidos, but he was very fond of her atmosphere and heroism.

This girl actually has many advantages, but she is only brave and good at fighting, and it covers most of her beauty. Unlike women, women are the biggest original sin in this world, even if there is no clear standard to explain, what is it? is the real woman.

Theodosius didn't really care about this, he just felt that according to Critidos's character and way of doing things, he probably wouldn't have much interest in life after marriage.

Thinking about spanking her butt, but she understood it as a signal to learn from each other, and he had a big fight with him. Thinking of such a situation, he felt a little bit of a pain in the ass.

"Well..." Theodosius' thoughts had already drifted to the sky: "It's not impossible to change his personality, it'll be good to tune it up when the time comes."

"Theodosius! Are you listening? I have put your wedding on November 21st, the birthday of St. Ender!" Mrs. Pater looked at Theodosius in a daze, and said: Knowing that he didn't listen to what he just said, his voice became tougher.

"Okay, okay, no problem mother, everything depends on your arrangement!"

Seeing his agreement, Mrs. Pat nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, it's time to have a wife to make you more mature!"

"Where am I immature? I'm very mature, okay?" Theodosius didn't dare to say it, so he could only murmur in his heart.

After Ivar came to the Lanyin Kingdom, he was immediately shocked by the wealth here. Everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment. The huge granaries were also filled with grain, and there were cattle and sheep everywhere.

Have you ever seen such sufficient food, cattle and sheep from the Ruidan tribe who live in the north of the Hengduan Mountains all the year round? In that cold land, it was almost impossible to grow crops. They could only make a living by hunting and gathering~www.readwn.com~ Suddenly seeing so much food, all the Ruidan people felt that it was really good to take refuge in the Lanyin Kingdom. One of the most correct decisions Ivar made.

And Theodosius was not stingy, and gave each of their families a 100-acre arable land, intending to let them settle down near the city of Rhine.

And he didn't let this group of people spread out, just a few thousand people couldn't have much influence on the Lanyin Kingdom.

What's more, Theodosius recruited them only because of their stature and fighting power. If they were to engage in ethnic fusion, it would probably be annihilated in two or three generations. He wouldn't do such stupid things. .

The small blacksmith castle outside Lanyin City has been clinking and never stopped. The blacksmiths and a large group of apprentices work overtime to build weapons and armor. It has to be said that the speed of producing tie armor is much faster than chain armor.

The need for more than 1,200 sets of armor was completed in just over twenty days. At this time, Theodosius' Varangian guards had all put on a set of full-body chain armor.

Of course, their equipment is more than that. Their strong bodies cannot be wasted in vain. Heavy infantry who cannot wear three-layer armor are also called heavy infantry?

Theodosius is a senior armor builder, and the strength of his armor can directly affect the combat effectiveness of an army.

The training of this brand-new army is very efficient. It took more than a month to initially meet the requirements of Theodosius. The main reason is that he does not emphasize the discipline of heavy infantry, as long as he can put a complete formation. .

His positioning of the Varangian Guards is not to resist the cavalry charge, and other soldiers under his command can also complete such a task. After the formation, the Lanyin warriors like steel hedgehogs have absolutely no cavalry dare to charge the needle, even his iron armor Neither do the Paladins.
