Chapter 359: Political Means
Everyone was embarrassed and speechless, looking at Soth, and looking at each other, you look at me, I look at you, but Soth didn't speak, just folded his arms on his chest, and didn't smile, just looked at everyone with a scrutinizing eye, as if he wanted to see through the truest thoughts in everyone's hearts.
Riley looked at Soth and couldn't help but be a little impressed, after experiencing the initial surprise and incredulity that Soth was coming blindly, after his own careful thinking, Riley was surprised to find that all this was not just nonsense, but a very well-thought-out strategy, which can be called the bottom of the kettle, although it seems that there is no way out for himself and others, and it is mandatory to let everyone make a choice, which is inevitably a little domineering and unreasonable, and may even force the nobles to be anxious, so that they may jump off the wall in a hurry.
But if you think about it carefully, all this is really not a reckless move, but just a mentality that eats you, Soth is simply fearless, these nobles have to listen to him, and they have to listen to him if they don't listen to him, and they can't even be half-hearted, because there are so many people here today, since they have chosen to go on the ship of Soth, they can't go down easily, because Soth is not ambiguous, he said it clearly, his consul was robbed, and he is the rebel thief of this country.
Knowing this, if the nobles still choose to join Soth and listen to him, then there is no doubt that they are thieves, that is, they have joined the traitorous party, which is a big taboo for the king, this is the so-called no retreat, so that these nobles have no chance to return to the arms of the king in the future, because even if they sincerely surrender, the king will not accept it, because what every person in power is most afraid of is always that his power is taken away, and for a king, he is not afraid of external enemies, not kings of other countries。 What he really fears is always the thieves in those countries, and how can the nobles who have assisted the thieves return to the king's account.
Even if the king was willing to accept them, the nobles themselves would be uneasy, and they would have a much better understanding of the king's psychology than they did, and Riley touched his nose, and even began to feel that the so-called tacit plan he had in mind at the beginning was so stupid that it was far from what Soth had done in the long run or in the near future.
This kind of practice of not leaving room for the nobles is simply wonderful, in a word, it is extremely insidious, Riley thought at first that Soth's words were simply brainless, at first glance he was a political rookie, he didn't understand anything, but after thinking about it carefully, he broke out in a cold sweat, it turned out that where was this rookie, it was clearly an old fritter who was proficient in various means, and Riley himself couldn't help but shudder.
Why is it wonderful to say that Soth doesn't leave room for the nobles, because he doesn't need to take care of the nobles' emotions at all, as long as he forcibly puts the hat of a thief on the heads of these nobles, they just don't want to help Sos in the future, and they can't do it half-heartedly, because after following Sos on this road of rebellion, the only thing in the world can protect them is Soss, and as long as Sos is good, they are good, and their family is good, and maybe even there will be an unprecedented development. The dukes and their ancestors who ruled countless territories did not follow the king to expand their territory, they did not become big nobles from a small nobleman in a battle of blood and fire, and the masters they followed became kings, and they eventually became dukes and earls, and each of them became rich and strong, becoming overlords, and making power in their own territories.
This is the insidious place, as long as everyone here today agrees, as long as they do not rebel against Soth alone in the future, then these people will wear the hat of traitors, in the eyes of the other nobles of the whole kingdom and the king, they are traitors, which can not be washed by jumping into the river and washing, so that as long as they agree, their interests will change, and an invisible line will connect the interests of Soth and the family interests of these nobles, and then Sos will not need to take the initiative to resist the other armies attacking Sanafriya, these nobles may be more anxious than Sos。
Soth is alone, almost invulnerable body Riley has also heard of it, he can defeat more than a thousand soldiers and knights by himself, and his skills are not at all like what humans can have, so even if Sanafriya is breached, there is probably no one who can catch Soth, so Soth can almost be said to come and go freely, if he can't fight, and the rebellion fails, it's a big deal to go, who can stop him?
Riley shed a drop of cold sweat, he also really discovered at this time, how terrible it is to be strong to a certain extent, even if the whole kingdom is afraid that there is no way to take him, this also makes Riley think of the scene when a dragon invaded the kingdom, the whole kingdom can only provide for the dragon well, counting on him to eat and drink well, and leave by himself, in front of some superior creatures, human beings are so weak and incompetent, he looked at Soth, and thought in his heart that with Mr. Soss's ability and dragon comparison, who is stronger and who is weak? Maybe it's not equal, right?
Riley himself was taken aback by this conclusion, and on a dragon's footing, was there anything else Soth needed to be taboo in this country? No wonder he acted so freely, saying that he would drive away the Archon of Sanafria.
Thinking like this, Riley's thinking became clearer, and there was only one choice left for the nobles except to get on the thief ship and join Soth's camp, and that was to disagree with Soth's approach, and refuse his request to become a firm king's faction.
Thinking of this, Riley could only shake his head and smile bitterly, and looked up at the nobles around him, everyone was also smiling bitterly, and even some people's faces turned purple, which was even more ugly than a rotten gourd, it seemed that everyone understood the insidiousness of Soth's words, and the insidious part was that it seemed that there were two choices, but in fact there was only one, because the nobles could not choose to oppose Soth's opinion, they could only agree, and they were half-tied to the thief ship of Soth.
It's like a joke, Soth not only feels Sanafriya in his own strength, he has a thousand soldiers under his command, he has a knighthood, to put it bluntly, he is the most powerful, who dares to resist him, it is pure impatience, in this case, how can you expect the nobles who are good at protecting themselves to oppose Soth? unless they want their family to be destroyed now.
