Pendor Empire In Other Worlds

Vol 2 Chapter 1: The discomfort of Baron Simifer

Simivre Sethtifa, the Baron of the Duchy of Perth, covers an area of ​​more than 70 square kilometers, including Morwin Town, Lucar Village, and Fayside Village, and has more than 2,800 households. More than a thousand people.

   One town and two villages, this is the lowest standard for baronialism in the duchy.

  In the Duchy of Perth, there are very few barons whose territory is as small and remote as the territory of Baron Simifer.

   Generally speaking, the fiefs of the baronial nobles of the duchy are directly granted to a certain town-level area.

   In the original area of ​​Morwin Town, in addition to Morwin Town itself, there are actually five villages.

   But when Simifer was promoted from knightly to baron, the duchy not only entrusted his territory to the remote inland, but also refused to enclose three of the five villages, including Leiden Village. Only the territories of the lowest standards were reserved for him.

   All of this cannot be entirely attributed to the earl’s stinginess, and it is inseparable from the choice of Simiver’s father.

   The cause of the incident must start from twenty years ago.

   At that time, Earl Ostard had just succeeded as Earl of Qatar, and his brother Viscount Husey had also become Viscount Suflenborg.

   The father of Baron Simifer, was a knight of the Qatar family at the time.

   From 998 to 1003, the barbarians who lived in the depths of the Maomoru hills for generations began to migrate to the northwest due to climate change. And finally contacted with the territory of Qatar on the southeast line of the Principality of Perth and other territories.

   These humanoid races that have obeyed the law of the jungle since ancient times have not been very friendly with the Principality of Perth.

   In the beginning, it was just a small group of barbarian hunting teams. There were small-scale hunting conflicts with hunters in several villages on the edge of the principality.

   These conflicts often ended with the heads of the Orion being chopped off by the barbarians.

   But for the Principality, the loss of a few Orion can not even splash a relatively large wave. Regardless of whether it is Qatar territory or other territories, they have only issued orders to strengthen their guard against border villages.

   But as more and more barbarian tribes migrated near the Duchy of Perth, the conflict between the two sides intensified.

   In the early spring of 1003, the first village to be broken by barbarians appeared.

   The barbarian tribe who attacked the village because of the exhaustion of the winter food reserves, suddenly tasted the sweetness.

   They discovered for the first time that human villages are actually so rich.

   Food, iron tools, clothing... these are all they crave.

   There are two. By the end of the summer of that year, 17 villages had been breached. In addition, the towns of two barons were also looted, and one baron was killed in battle.

   If it weren't for the barbarian tribe, it would only attack the village when the supplies were not enough, and the loss would be even greater.

  The most important thing is that in every village that is smashed by barbarians, male villagers will be killed, and female villagers will be killed or taken away.

   This time, the Principality of Perth was angry.

  If only the mere supplies were robbed, it would be okay to say that the nearly 20,000 casualties of the civilians would make the principality feel like a heartache.

   You must know that even now, the total population of Qatar is no more than 500,000, and the population of the entire Principality is no more than 3 million.

   Twenty years ago, the population of the Principality was only over two million.

   Two percent, it seems very small, but it is an unbearable loss for the Principality.

   At the end of the spring of 1003, the Grand Duke gave an order to summon the nobles to participate in the war.

   The situation at that time was not as tense as it is now. Even though the Paiano family has gradually become stronger, they still dare not ignore the Grand Duke's order.

   In June, the regular army of the Principality and the private soldiers of the nobles formed an army of 20,000 and gathered on the front line of Trimburg. With the former Grand Duke as the coach, the Marquis of Karl Karst, the Earl of Ostad and others led the army, and launched an attack on the barbarian tribes that were getting deeper and deeper into the territory of the duchy.

   One side is a well-organized human army, and the other side is a mess of barbarians and people.

   From the very beginning, this war was destined to be an unequal war.

   In the four months from June to early winter, the army of the Principality wiped out the barbarian tribes close to the territory like a hot knife cutting butter. The number of barbarians killed was more than 80,000.

  Even, the troops led by Count Ostard once went deep into the hilly area and hunted down the barbarians several times.

  The barbarians who have seen the power of the human army fled into the depths of the hills where they once lived, preferring to face the increasingly difficult living environment, rather than confronting the soldiers of the principality.

   The father of Baron Simifer, who accumulated military merit in that war, was canonized as a baron by the duchy after the war.

   But compared with other nobles who were promoted during the same period, the old baron's gift seemed too shabby.

  Earl Ostard would not even be promoted to his title unless he had real merits.

  The reason is that Baron Simifer’s father was divided into the ranks of the Marquis of Paiano during the war.

   The former Grand Duke had actually sensed the increasing threat of the Marquis’ power, and divided many small aristocratic troops close to the Principality to him, only to take the opportunity to suppress it.

   The real effect is not very good. Although the troops belonging to other nobles did affect the overall combat power of the Marquis's team, the degree of weakening was not great when faced with the weaker barbarians. At most, it reduces the marching speed of the team.

  Except for the father of Baron Simifer.

   I have to say that although the old baron’s political wisdom is a flaw, his personal bravery is still commendable.

   The troops he led have served as the vanguard many times. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com broke through the barbarian resident and made a lot of feats.

  I have to praise the political wisdom of the contemporary Marquis, Karl Karst.

   When the nobles and generals who were close to him thought that the old baron had taken the credit that belonged to them, the marquis greatly admired his performance.

   Not only did he provide the old baron with more opportunities for meritorious service, he also praised him for his bravery in public several times, praised him as a "true knight", and even promised to appeal to the Grand Duke and Count Ostard for him.

   He did.

   The result is that although the old baron has made a lot of military merits, after being promoted to the title, he is not only sent to remote places, but the territory has just reached the baron standard.

   According to the usual practice, it should still be the original knight manor in his territory, but it was also taken back by the earl with excuses.

  When it comes to economic output, it has even dropped.

   However, Count Ostard is his immediate superior, and the division of territories is in full compliance with the laws of the duchy. The old baron felt very depressed and puzzled for a while, but he didn't know what went wrong and how to solve it.

  Since then, although due to the power and affiliation of the two parties, Baron Simif is still a subordinate nobleman of the Earl of Qatar on the surface.

   But in terms of standpoint, he was unsurprisingly biased towards the Marquis.

   For the villages around his own territory that are attached to the town of Morwin but are not in his own territory, if it weren't for a head-on confrontation with the earl, Baron Simifer even wanted to refuse them to enter the town.

  Of course, there are some reasons why they can bring some benefits to Morwen Town.

  So, when I received that the new fiefdom was Leiden Village, Baron Simifer felt uncomfortable in his heart, you can imagine.
