Chapter 508: Chapter 7: The Newly Born Agricultural Holy Land and Philis’s Unease (Part 3)

However, due to their lack of thought and fiery temper, they have offended far too many people. So, even though they have at least three elector votes in every election, they are still unable to ascend to the throne.

In nearly five hundred years, the mead formula in the White Wolf Holy Grail has changed thirteen times, but the votes on the Midland Elector list have always frozen at the number "Three"—just like the glaciers outside the walls of Middenheim that never melt, and like the three blocks of frozen hard cheese that no one can break at the Northern people’s banquets.

But when they truly produce a hero for troubled times, it means they can often be elected as the Emperor of the Empire with an exceptionally high number of votes.

Currently, the Midland Elector of the North, Graf Erich von Kazabagel, is a typical hero for troubled times. Not only is he formidable in strength as a powerful White Wolf Knight, but he is also an iron-fisted tyrant. Under his governance, the Midland Grand Prince’s Territory is powerful and robust in its style. He strengthened the Northern trade routes, vigorously developed the economy, greatly mitigating the inadequacy of resources in the North.

In terms of religion, he continued the expansion of the grand Yurik temple, making him very harmonious with the Pope, successfully strengthening the status of the Inquisition, controlling the interior with a brutal style, greatly alleviating the chaos corrosion that the Midland Territory had faced for a long time due to the Chaos Wasteland.

Militarily, he is even more strong-handed, relying on the Yurik Church, with the Midland Territory known for its White Wolf Knights and elite infantry. The resilient and robust infantry of the Midland Territory have practically become the Empire’s most battle-hardened troops. Especially through the enhancement of arena and martial spirit, these soldiers have significantly improved their combat power in ice houses and hunting.

Supported by this strong military power, he forcefully subjugated a large number of barbarian tribes, mountain dwarves, and even a Forest Elf Kingdom within his Prince’s Territory.

In terms of economy, politics, military, and diplomacy, he used iron-fisted methods to make the Midland Grand Prince’s Territory strong and prosperous.

This has made him a model revered by countless ruthless nobles of the Empire.

Though the nobles are ruthless, they are not foolish; all of them see the perfect image of a tyrant in Graf from the Midland Grand Prince.

Under his rule, the territory has formed a bloody prosperity through high-pressure order. He himself is the military commander and religious tyrant of the territory, holding tremendous internal authority and conquering a series of severe natural obstacles and cruel enemies externally.

If the common people of Hesse Territory were to give a fair evaluation, compared to this powerful Midland Grand Prince, the lord of Hesse Territory, Su Li, would seem like a candle flame, unable to match the brilliance of the bright moon. Even the Iron-blood Chancellor from the Black Forest, the Divine Chosen-level bureaucrat, Oliver, is a little fan boy of this Midland Grand Prince.

Oliver’s various policies clearly show that he is learning from the Legendary White Wolf Knight, Midland Prince Graf Erich von Kazabagel.

In the future, if Su Li truly wishes to ascend to the Empire’s throne and have a contest with this Northern tyrant, not a single vote can be overlooked.

It is said that Graf has already secured five votes now, and both the Nord Territory and West Territory hold this Midland tyrant in high esteem.

Brutality within the Empire’s borders is never a bad reputation; the Empire often favors electing a strong-handed tyrant to consolidate the complex factions within the Empire and rally to oppose the invasion of evil monsters.

Moreover, the territories of the North Empire universally consider brutality as a virtue; a weak monarch can never stand firm in the harsh environment of the Northern Empire, and mercy is completely unrealistic in the North.

As of now, Su Li has no votes!

He is far from unifying the Border Prince’s Territory.

According to intelligence, Philis, who can provide him with a crucial vote, is currently nowhere to be seen.

She is not concerned with anything now, carefree, only thinking about enjoying the present happiness and giving birth to the baby in her belly.

This life for over a month has been too beautiful for her, dreamlike and fantastic, making her anxious, fearing such a wonderful time is merely a fleeting dream or could be broken by a sudden storm.

She is about to give birth; the pregnancy cycle of humans in this world is not ten months, nor 40 cycles like on Earth, but 30 cycles!

Of course, one cycle in this world is eight days, so it corresponds to eight months on Earth. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

To ensure the health of her and her unborn child, she has been consuming Extraordinary Spirit Grain since the sixth month.

This strong supply basically guarantees that the child in her womb will grow up to be an Elite Knight and not, like some in the Bauhinia Family bloodline, fail to awaken as an Apprentice Knight.

Fortunately, Isabella the nun has planted the 100-square-meter purple Spirit Field around the Holy Purple Vine Tree with Extraordinary Valley Ears, enabling Su Li such a luxurious life.

In this farm, Isabella planted a total of 276 stocks of Emerald Green Ears, with an estimated yield between 2,500 Golden Crowns and 3,500 Golden Crowns.

But after stabilizing this Spirit Field, during this farming cycle, the priestess of the Sun Goddess buried a section of the Finger Bone Relic of Holy Sanctuary Knight, Unfeeling One, Odo de Paragon, beneath the ground here, slightly enhancing the yield of this wheat field.

As the First Volume Title Page of the Imperial Agricultural Festival says: "Soil and bloodline are equally sacred; where the wheat waves surge is where knightly honor lies."
