Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel
Chapter 49 Master Li Wei’s Viscount Dream
The last priority is naturally the pure May Day promotion.
In most cases, there is no chance of "4+1", let alone the exchange of the 5 pieces of barony that have been obtained for the viscounty. There was a very famous family in the history of the Kingdom of Fontaine, called the "Koslow" family.
When the family was at its peak, the family patriarch held 8 baron titles at the same time!
The Koslow family wanted to be promoted to the Viscount family more than once, but unfortunately each time the promotion was given a low priority. In the end, over the past few hundred years, a total of eight baronies were accumulated.
Later, a Baron Koslow, whether because of his confusion or because he felt sorry for his sons, actually divided all eight baronies, and each son inherited one or two baronies.
Until now, the Koslow family, which has flourished all over the kingdom, has not obtained even a single viscounty. Members of each branch whose blood relationship has long been estranged have gone their separate ways. However, the number of baronies belonging to the Koslow family has expanded to 13.
Why is it said that the May Day Promotion Law is the result of the game and compromise between the small and medium-sized nobles, the big nobles and the royal family.
Before this, if small and medium-sized nobles wanted to go further, they could only collect enough military merits to be promoted to a noble rank at one time before the settlement of military merits. This was simply impossible for most small and medium-sized nobles.
The small and medium-sized nobles were granted more and more territories through military merit, but the channels for promotion to nobility were extremely narrow, which led to increasingly fierce conflicts between the small and medium-sized nobles, the big nobles, and the royal family.
The great nobles and the royal family are the actual decision-making level of the kingdom. From the perspective of the great nobles and the royal family, the fewer people involved in dividing the meat, the better. They certainly do not want more small and medium-sized nobles to join the kingdom's decision-making ranks.
However, as the conflicts increasingly intensified, the large nobles, the royal family and the small and medium-sized nobles finally reached a compromise policy, namely the May Day Promotion Law.
The channels for small and medium-sized nobles to rise to the top have indeed been broadened, but it is still difficult to be promoted to a nobility based entirely on accumulation over several generations.
The kingdom's great nobles and the royal family hope that the new great nobles will be an upstart with better luck, rather than the kind of established nobles who have been in business for generations and have deep roots.
Therefore, there is a rule that unpaid military merits will be given higher priority in promotion.
Therefore, before the next round of military merit is settled, Li Wei is determined to obtain another military merit worthy of a barony!
In the Kingdom of Fontaine, promotion to the rank of nobility is something that must be done in one go. Levi doesn't want to delay again and again, and end up like the Koslow family, with N baron titles on his body, but he just can't be promoted to viscount!
"But how to obtain military merit next?"
Levi couldn't help but feel a little confused at this time.
After experiencing this battle, Li Wei had a certain understanding of the power of his subordinates.
First of all, the quality of my two hundred cavalry is indeed good, but the number is too small!
If it were a head-on confrontation, against a cannon fodder-based army like the Orcs, they would definitely be able to crush them with the same number, but if the number of enemies was three or four times that of Levi, it would be a 50-50 battle.
However, the position of these two hundred cavalry has never been to act recklessly. What Li Wei wanted most was to use the high mobility of his private army, not to fight against strong enemies, but to look for opportunities to make mistakes.
In addition, in terms of strong men, although Harland and Bellam under Levi's command are considered good in an ordinary barony, they are completely inadequate in the big battlefield of Yorkshire.
As for Li Wei's Fat Zi, Fat Zi successfully upgraded to the fifth level after devouring a large number of high-quality orc corpses.
Li Wei estimated that Fat Zi would be able to reach the upper limit of his strength by devouring some more orc corpses. If he wanted to advance further, he would need the so-called mid-level void source crystal provided by the system.
This thing can either be drawn by luck or exchanged for three mid-level treasure tokens, which is not cheap anyway.
In general, it would be very difficult for Levi to obtain another barony with just his own strength.
Even this time, the army of 5,000 orcs was nearly wiped out. Most of the elites of the third level and above were killed by Viscount Ome, and most of the ones he wiped out were low-level cannon fodder.
According to Viscount Ome, if Li Wei can annihilate an army of three to four thousand orcs on his own, or make a significant contribution in a large-scale battle, or find a way to obtain the command of a kingdom levy army and fight multiple times If he performs meritorious service, Li Wei will have the opportunity to obtain another military merit equivalent to a barony and be further promoted to Viscount.
Li Wei thought to himself that he was not a powerful person descended from heaven, and engaging in conspiracies and tricks was the limit.
How can he lead his two hundred cavalry across the battlefield, fight one against ten, and capture the head of an enemy chief among thousands of troops?
The most ideal way is to get familiar with Marquis Ashan first.
From now on, he will either serve as a dog-headed military advisor to the Marquis and make some unreliable plans. Master Li Wei is not good at anything else. He has read countless unofficial histories and battle cases, but he is unparalleled in terms of talking about military affairs on paper.
Either way, you can obtain the command of a kingdom's levied army. Only with more soldiers can you achieve better results.
Two levied legions of ten thousand men from the inner counties of the kingdom have arrived in Yorkshire. Each legion of 5 people was divided into regiments, each with men. Li Wei really wanted to get the command of a regiment.
200 vs. 4000 is unreliable, but 2000 vs. 4000 has a much better chance.
Of course, all this must be established with the support of Marquis Ashan. There is no reason why a small baron like him could obtain the command of a 2000-man levy army out of thin air.
Even Levi's grandfather Gareth was able to serve as the commander of the legion in 1999 because he served in the army from the beginning. Later, he continued to make meritorious deeds and slowly climbed to the position of legion commander.
The question now is how to get into the eyes of Marquis Ashan.
"Gan, we can only take one step at a time. I saved the apple of Marquis Ashan's eye and fought such a wonderful victory. I should have a good impression on Marquis Ashan.
If that doesn't work, just do some PY trading with Marquis Ashan. "
Mr. Levi has tasted the benefits since the last successful PY transaction with Gallie. Not only did he obtain the second barony, as well as a large amount of manpower and material support from the Norton family, but more importantly, he gained access to the Norton family.
Among other things, Earl Norton had given him a lot of help during this period of time and told him a lot of information that the country baron could not find out.
But if you were to make a deal with a big shot like the Marquis of Ashan, you wouldn't be able to get rid of something that would stretch your hips.
And if you try to sell iron and get a rare treasure, others may not be interested in it. And an industry that can flow slowly should be enough to make the Marquis of Ashan excited.
Yes, Levi planned to take out the healing potion formula drawn from the system and give it to Marquis Ashan. Although Levi felt a little bit pained, the basic production line of extraordinary weapons in his own territory was enough for him to digest for a long time.
Li Wei, who had sorted out his subsequent thoughts, was extremely relaxed now. He was already looking at the expression on YY and Viscount Weilin's face when they met.
Dear readers, I'm so sorry, I'm late!
I'll try to come up with another chapter early in the morning.
