Just two days after Tang Dou issued the decree on the abolition of slaves, he issued another bombshell-like decree.

All the families must hand over eighty percent of their combat effectiveness to form a professional army.

In Arsa, there were no professional soldiers in the true sense of the word, and when it was necessary to start a war, it was the lord of the country who gave the order, and then the small and medium-sized families under the leadership of the big families sent troops one after another.

To put it bluntly, in Arsa, the army was a combination of the private armies of the nobles of various countries plus the slave troops.

This is similar to the medieval Western European war model in the world of Tang Dou's previous life.

But this pattern is actually only found in Arsa. The three continents outside are completely different.

The Jiuxiao Continent implements a typical centralized system, although each city has a separate army, but these armies are nominally directly commanded by the central government, if they do not listen to the command, they will be directly labeled as a rebel, and there will be countless people who want to replace them to jump out to help the central government kill the rebellion.

The Barbarian Yuan Continent is grouped together by tribes, but the different races and tribes themselves also have professional armies. The demon clan is more like a huge alliance state.

The elves of the Heavenly Wind Continent are a mixture of humans and demons. They also have the form of alliance of the demon race (the great alliance of the four races), and they also have centralized power (the great unified power of the golden elves, as well as the centralized power of the other three races themselves).

Arsa, because of the special environment, developed this military system under almost slavery.

And Tang Dou is going to take this knife at this time.

Strictly speaking, if it weren't for the fact that there was a source of life space as the rear, Tang Dou would never dare to do such a thing. He does not have the absolute strength to crush everything, and if he wants to confront the entire Arsa system that has been going on for thousands of years, it is to kill himself.

Unless he can do it slowly by boiling a frog in warm water.

But he's so violent, and that's definitely going to cause a lot of backlash.

But Tang Dou has a source of life space as the rear, and he has already moved Crowley and the others. Then first of all, he will be able to stand in the corner, and the rest will only need violence.

In fact, Tang Dou's plan has a high success rate at this moment, the only problem is that it will leave a huge hidden danger in the future, but with the source of life space as the rear, he doesn't care about this hidden danger at all.

Harley couldn't remember how many times a day she had come to Tang Dou during this time.

This guy is simply a lunatic.

"Nicholas, what do you want? You're going to destroy the kingdom of Gus! Harley felt that the biggest reason why she didn't fight hard with Tang Dou was because she couldn't beat the other party.

Tang Dou spread his hands: "I will concentrate all the military power and civil affairs. Crow is the queen to unify the country, you are the civil administration, the development of people's livelihood, Ryan is in charge of the military, unified the forces, is there anything wrong with this? "This thing looks innocent.

Hallie almost rolled her eyes to the back of her head, "Don't play word games with me, don't you know the consequences of doing that?" Even if these families don't dare to resist you now, they will all remember that if there is any accident, they will immediately jump out, and then the entire Gusi Kingdom will be destroyed by your crazy actions! ”

Tang Dou smiled: "I don't need anything for a long time, just give me three months, and then 100,000 ordinary puppets, 5,000 Enheria." Plus the 50,000 former slaves who are loyal to us, and all the slaves who have fallen to us to restore their freedom. Which families do they want to oppose? Hey, no problem, I just couldn't find a chance to kill them! ”

Harry froze, and all the anger in her stomach was suppressed: "Okay, 100,000 ordinary rune puppets, 5,000 Enheria, even if you can get them out in three months." But how can you be sure that the legions of former slaves will fall to us. Don't forget that in essence we are the same as those families, in the eyes of those slaves. Now that they are free, they are naturally grateful to you. Those slaves will indeed be loyal to you for the rest of their lives. But those war slaves are different. They don't have anything else to think about now, but when they get a foothold, they will have something else to think about. People's hearts change! ”

Hallie, that's a bitter mouth.

Tang Dou beckoned to Harley with a smile, with a look of "let's whisper": "Harley's family master, if you were a member of those families, what would you do in such a situation?" ”

Harley glared at Tang Dou, seemingly dissatisfied with the other party's comparison of herself to those who were disloyal, but she quickly replied, "I will choose to hibernate first, and then secretly contact other countries." The other five nations have been trying to do something to you since they were threatened by you last time, and now as long as they have the secret support of most of the families in the Gus Kingdom, the five kingdoms will definitely dare to make a move. It's useless if you have a magic teleportation array, you don't have enough troops, even if you push it one by one, it will take time, but they can wipe out the entire Gusi country in the shortest possible time! ”

Tang Dou nodded: "Well, it's similar to what I thought." So, what harm did the destruction of the kingdom of Gus do us? ”

Hallie almost jumped out: "Why not?" What the hell are you thinking, you ......"

She was stunned.

Because she remembered the words that Tang Dou had come to lobby her before.

At first, she didn't quite understand the meaning of Tang Dou's words, but now, combined with Tang Dou's words, she suddenly understood.

"You didn't think about keeping the Gusi Kingdom in the first place, you just want to force those people to rebel, let them contact the Five Kingdoms, let the Five Kingdoms invade the Gusi Kingdom, and then find an excuse to oppose the Five Kingdoms? Is it all because you have an absolutely safe territory that no one knows? ”

Tang Dou grinned: "The Lord of the Kingdom has agreed to go to my territory to continue cultivating, I can give him a better cultivation environment, more cultivation resources, and more opportunities to confront strong enemies." And Ryan doesn't care about what he has here in Gus. So, the Hallie family, what about you? Can't you bear everything here? ”

Hallie looked at Tang Dou and remained silent for a long time.

Reluctant? Of course I can't help it. But......

Strictly speaking, the cake that Tang Dou painted for her did not lose any of her interests at all, but would increase her interests.

Once what Tang Dou said is true, then there will no longer be twelve families in the Gusi Kingdom in the future, but only three families.

Crowley's family, as well as Ryan's Reynolds family, and her Becca family.

From the original head of the twelve, it has become one of the only two. And according to what Tang Dou said, the Gusi country at that time will be the only country in the entire inner ring.

In that case, what will the Becca family look like?

Hallie, unlike Ryan, is ambitious. It's just that her ambitions are all under her own loyalty. On the premise of being loyal to Crowley, she will work hard to fulfill her ambitions. And Tang Dou's plan is a catalyst that will drive her ambitions.

But.

Just as she hesitated at first. Tang Dou's territory is completely controlled by Tang Dou, and Tang Dou bluntly said that after joining, he will never want to quit. Children and grandchildren, from generation to generation.

Nominally, she is free, and she continues to be loyal to the people she pursues, but in fact, she has become a person under Tang Dou's control.

That's where Hallie hesitated.

As for what homeland does not exist for the people of Arsa.

Even if it is the people of the Seven Great Countries, they will not have any such thing as "hometown feeling" for the oasis in which they live. There is one of the most basic reasons to live in this wild land, and that is to go after the oasis.

Although each of the seven great nation's oases is an oasis that has existed for at least a thousand years, no one can guarantee that all of them will be eternal. For a group of cultivator-type immortal species with an average lifespan of three to five hundred years old, one or two thousand years must be the time span they need to consider.

Not to mention that there are still many elven hybrids here, and those with elven blood can live for at least a thousand years as long as they don't die in battle. Then there is an even more important question to consider.

What if one day the oasis you live in is gone?

Therefore, the people of Arsa have no family affection, as for whether they will be nostalgic for this desert...... Hehe, except for a very few guys, who doesn't want to live in a better place to live?

They just can't leave.

Facing the topic that Tang Dou brought up again, Harley was silent for a moment before finally raising her head: "How sure are you?" ”

"Then it depends on how much you cooperate with me, Lord Harry's grave?" Tang Dou grinned.

A day later, the Reynolds family, the Becca family, and the Adellie family jointly issued a statement that they would respond to Tang Dou's decree, give up their family's independent force, and integrate eighty percent of the family's combat strength (that is, all fighters except for the most core descendants) into the "First Army of the Gusi Kingdom" that Tang Dou was about to form.

With these three leaders, the remaining eight families couldn't hold on. They were already so frightened by Tang Dou's thunderous methods that they didn't dare to resist head-on, but at this time, suddenly Tang Dou came to do it again, although they were extremely angry, but what could they do?

Poppy Family Chamber Room.

"Nicholas is too much, he doesn't want to leave us alive at all!" Gould slapped the table with an angry look on his face.

"We need to find a way out on our own, and it can be seen that Nicholas intends to destroy all of our families, so that the entire country of Gus will become the stuff of the four of them!" Johnny sighed.

"What kind of way out? We can't beat it now! There's nowhere to run! Goodale tugged at his beard and pulled it down.

"Find the other five countries, they have a grudge against Nicholas, and as long as we cooperate inside and outside, Nicholas will not even have a chance to use the magic teleportation array to attack the five countries!" Johnny thought he had come up with a good idea.

Just as Tang Dou thought, under the oppression of the whole high pressure, each of the remaining Eight Great Families was secretly discussing countermeasures, and those small and medium-sized families began to stand in line, most of them stood with the Eight Great Families, after all, they didn't want to give up their own interests. But there are still some small families who decide to find Tang Dou's side. Some of them are long-term, and some of them are simply psychologically shadowed by Tang Dou.

Johnny and Goodale had been discussing with the Poppy family for a long time, and had come up with several sets of ideas that sounded effective, and then went to prepare for them with great satisfaction.

But Isaac, the head of the Poppy family, has been silent.

But he had always been silent, so Johnny and Goodale thought he had acquiesced.

It wasn't until the two of them left that Isaac finally spoke: "Xia Xia, what do you think?" ”

Sia Bobby. Isaac's most valued son, the next heir to the head of the family, like Isaac, has already received the title of the younger generation of wise men at a young age.

"Father, I think Nicholas is playing a trick!" Sia said respectfully.

Isaac's eyelids lifted, "Oh? Tell me about it! ”

Knowing that his father was the examiner, Sia pondered for a moment and then said carefully: "Judging from all the actions of Nicholas, he is definitely a person who plans and then acts. He never pushes himself into a corner, and he will definitely leave enough to follow. After every seemingly crazy and reckless action, there are enough hole cards. If we easily launch a counterattack, we will only lead ourselves to destruction! ”

"So, you think we should take Nicholas? You should know that by Nicholas's approach, we have a lot to lose! Isaac smiled at the corner of his mouth.

As if receiving some kind of affirmation, Sia became more confident: "Not really. From these previous actions, it can be seen that his real purpose is not to destroy the major families, but to implement the external administrative structure. He is a typical human being, maybe he lived in the Nine Screams Continent before he came to Arta, so he is likely to implement the three major countries of the Nine Screams Continent. If that's the case, he still can't do without the support of his family! ”

"Now he wants to rein in the military power, but when he develops it, he will definitely still decentralize the military power. And in my opinion, even if you don't have military power, there is actually no problem. What we really need is profit, not military power. Military power is used to protect our interests. What's the point of military power if we can protect our interests by other means? If we are destroyed by Nicholas in order to seize military power, then what is the use of our military power? ”

In fact, West Asia's point of view is very simple, it is nothing more than a more upgraded version of "from the Dragon Minister".

In fact, there is no one who can stop Tang Dou's rise and rule. With Crowley's support, he is completely justified, and with the support of Ryan and Hallie, he has enough power to influence various small families.

So what is the effect of the remaining families jumping harder?

If you change to someone else, you may really be afraid of a few big families, but is Tang Dou afraid?

Xia Xia thought about the things that Tang Dou had in his hand, and then shook his head vigorously.

"Sia, go see Nicholas. Clandestine! ”

"Yes! Father! ”
