Chapter 203: Imperial Viscount?
What is the status of a Viscount?
Before crossing, Panda would probably only be able to answer "It's a title, below the Earl, above the Baron", but after this period of wandering, Panda has a better understanding of the political structure of the world, so now he can give an accurate answer. 's answer.
In this world, the lowest-level lords are knights, who generally control one village to one town. The former is of course needless to say, while the latter often comes with two or three subordinate villages.
Knights are barons, and barons can have at least one town with three to four villages, if they are more, they can even build cities, and their subordinates can’t exceed three towns at most.
Above the baron is the viscount. The viscount must have a city and three or four towns. In terms of villages, there will be at least twenty in total—that is, there will be at least twenty knights as subordinates.
Among the viscounts, there are also powerful ones, and many even have ten or so towns, but in any case, there can only be one city.
The viscount goes up to the earl. The earl owns a main city and several sub-cities. There are often hundreds or more of the villages under his command. If it is a frontier leader like Tara Khan, the village can even reach 200 or even 300. above.
The marquis and dukes above the earl are generally of high political status, but the territory is not much more than the earl - any more will shake the king's rule, or if the territory is larger, the ground will be broken After being a king, who is still a vassal...
In terms of the political structure on the earth, the villages of knights are generally less populated than villages on earth, but the territory is larger; the territory of a baron is almost equivalent to a township containing various affiliated villages; a viscount is almost from a county-level administrative district to a Between counties; the earl's territory is at least equivalent to a district-level administrative region, and like the Earl of Tarakhan, it is even equivalent to a small province on the earth.
Mulandana is an earl-level territory. Its territory on the map is even larger than that of the Earl of Tarakhan. It includes thousands of miles of grassland, forests and other areas, with a total area of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. Among them, there are nearly a hundred herdsmen tribes, and there are almost the same number of peasant villages. Unlike Tara Khan, which generally has a small population in various villages, the villages and tribes in Mulandana tend to have a large population. Regardless of the territory, the villages are only equivalent to about half of the Tara Khan, but they can really mobilize the troops. Instead, it surpassed Tara Khan.
Not only that, because Mulandana organizes the monster crusade all the year round, the number and combat effectiveness of the army are very strong. There are a large number of veterans here. Under their leadership, the folk martial arts are very popular. Even field farmers can use hoes and pitchforks to display a few military spear techniques, not to mention that adults can be regarded as cavalry. Orc herdsmen, the war potential is enormous.
As the governor of Mulandana, recommending a viscount is definitely not a problem. It is nothing more than the size of the site and the degree of abundance.
The question is, do you want to be this viscount?
Panda hesitated.
He can be sure that if the earl wants to recommend himself as a viscount, he is definitely not going to be crazy after drinking too much. The old man's eyes were very calm and sober, obviously he just raised this matter through the banquet to avoid his rejection.
Yet...why is he worried about his rejection?
It doesn't make sense!
Who would refuse to be a viscount?
But the current situation is not a situation that can be considered slowly. Panda agreed after thinking a little about it.
Anyway... it's a big deal to leave the territory and escape, can the Governor still tie him in the territory?
After getting his affirmative answer, the Governor laughed and said, "That's great! With a hero like you as my neighbor, I feel more at ease."
Panda was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to ask, James had already opened his mouth in surprise: "Lord Governor, are you planning to arrange Mr. Panda's territory in Mulandana?"
"To be precise, it is the east of Mulandana." The governor said, "He is an orc, and he probably doesn't like farming life either. I will arrange for him about twenty tribes and let him be the chief of these tribes. manage them."
"...Will those herdsmen agree?" an official asked worriedly. "They hate being ruled."
"They just hate that the weak can rule themselves by virtue of their blood or wealth." The governor smiled and said confidently, "If it is replaced by a dragon slaying hero, they will be too happy."
Everyone thought about it and nodded.
Orcs have the ethos of worshipping the strong, and making a dragon slaying hero their lord is indeed not an unacceptable thing for them.
Although after Panda's death, his descendants may not be able to maintain the rule, but this is the problem of his descendants, no one else.
In contrast, being able to make such a dragon slaying hero one of Mulandana's subordinate lords is really reassuring.
With his participation, Mulandana's crusade will be much more stable, and there will no longer be the heavy losses that occasionally occurred in the past.
Even the water dragon let him be killed, what are the other monsters?
Moreover, with the addition of this dragon slaughtering hero, those orc tribes who have always looked at Mulanda's unpleasantness should also have a little more respect for Mulanda and make less troubles...
If you think about it, this is really a good thing!
Panda just laughed, didn't say anything, and acted like an over-happy, confused warrior.
After the banquet, he returned to the residence arranged for him by the patrol department, and immediately posted the incident in the group chat.
[Panda: ...It's basically like this, what do you think? 】
[Horus: Damn it! Panda, you went out for a few months and earned a territory? ! Is the national treasure so cheap? 】
[Sleepless night: Very good, one more territory is never a bad thing. Like you said, if it's a big deal and go away, can they still want you all over the world? 】
[Harmony: But I always think this is a bit strange...]
[Anthony: Don't say anything else, since you want to become the lord over there, help me contact a few heroes who are good at teaching others to ride horses. Tara Khan needs to train cavalry. 】
Everyone was chatting and talking, generally agreeing.
There is no reason not to take advantage of the benefits delivered to your door!
Looking at everyone's speech, Panda nodded slightly.
Suddenly, he moved in his heart and said, "I suddenly have an idea... Say, how about my request to arrange the territory near Wolf's Den Lake?"
[Sleepless Night: Wolf's Nest Lake? Not many people live near that place. 】
[Sanyu Wumengsheng: I understand! What a great idea! 】
[Sleepless night: ... Oh, it is indeed a good idea! 】
[Anka: What are you talking about? Play a riddle? 】
[Panda: There are a lot of monsters in the Wolf's Nest Lake, and there are also murloc tribes in the lake. Are you worried that you don't have enough monsters to kill? As long as you build a teleportation array in my territory, everyone will have a stable leveling point, and maybe you can get some more advanced goods like water dragons! 】
After a while, the chat channel was full of jubilation, and many people who usually don't speak much jumped out and expressed their support.
