"Teacher, I remember that Lord Guy told you earlier that this battle was not a simple battle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn addition to luring the snake out of the hole, the most important thing is to arouse the public's enthusiasm for the new deal. In other words, this is a cohesive war, and it is also a great operation to unite the new nobles, commoners, serfs, aliens, all the living beings in Essis! “

"That's right, that's the Duke's purpose, and it's our mission." Zeno nodded in reply.

"I think you, as the Prime Minister of the Duchy and the person on whom the Duke relieves him, must know that we have long since broken with the old-fashioned nobility on the mainland. But the power of those old-style nobles is still huge, and it is definitely very difficult to rely on the strength of our family alone. But they are not absolutely without weaknesses. Saying this, Joseph's tone gradually became excited.

"Their weakness lies in the people I just mentioned. Because whether it is a commoner, a serf, or a foreign race, even some of the declining nobles are at the bottom of society. They endured the oppression and bloodsucking of the nobles from above, but why did no one stand up and resist? Why didn't anyone come out and overthrow this rotten ruling class?

Because they're so scattered! No one stepped forward to unite them. And now, what the Duke has to do is to mobilize these oppressed and mutilated people. As long as we have the support of them, who make up the vast majority of the population on the mainland, then the nobility is nothing more than a dead tree, which will fall with a push! “

"You're right, but what does it have to do with those aliens. You should know that alien races do not intervene in human affairs, and the population is small, so it does not play much role at all. “

Zeno asked, confused. Although there are many races, most of them live on the edge of the continent, and their numbers are not comparable to that of humans. Most of the aliens maintain a closed or limited open-door policy, and their communication with humans is very limited. Therefore, it never intervenes in the political disputes of mankind.

Hearing Zeno's question, Joseph smiled slightly: "Teacher, you are indeed very high in learning, but you are still a little short in the study of people's hearts. I remember that when we promulgated the Regulations on the Administration of Foreign Races, many people were still very confused about what this was for. Later, they saw the alien race that had been hiding around them slowly coming to the people. This proves that the "Regulations on the Administration of Foreign Races" promulgated by us are correct and win the hearts of the people. This also proves in disguise that the administration of the Duke is good.

And now, at the moment when Essis is besieged by the rebels and is in danger. What would the ordinary people of Essis think about the inconspicuous alien race who were usually ostracized to stand up bravely and defend Essis for their own lives?

Even the vulgar aliens can stand up bravely, so isn't the hundreds of years of prestige accumulated by the Ouranos family in Essis enough to inspire passion and courage in the people? “

Zeno looked at this student who was talking eloquently in front of him, from an ignorant student to now being able to take charge on his own, and he was sincerely gratified. He patted Joseph on the shoulder, nodded with a smile, and said, "You have done a good job, and the world will be all for you young people in the future." “

Joseph hurriedly bowed and bowed humbly: "Thank you for the teacher's compliment, but I am still young after all, and I still need a lot of reminders from the teacher in the future." ”

Zeno nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then do what you think." “

"Yes, Teacher."

The sun rises again into the sky and illuminates the earth. This also indicates that a new round of siege is about to begin.

After a night of constant harassment by trebuchets, a large number of houses in the outer city were smashed and burned, and a large amount of rubble piled up, blocking the roads. Constantine had already begun to clear the rubble with hundreds of men.

Some of the homeless residents also took refuge in the inner city, causing a certain amount of chaos, but fortunately, under efficient management, they were properly resettled in a timely manner.

Fortunately, on Chris's side, the five trebuchets had long been overwhelmed after intense operation. In the second half of the night, it collapsed directly, and the parts that flew out killed several people, causing a small piece of chaos.

Without the help of trebuchets, Chris was a little regretful, but it didn't dampen his determination. So under his command, wave after wave of troops began to attack. The fighting outside the city was fierce and brutal, and the earth-shattering sounds of fighting could be heard clearly even in the inner city.

At the same time as Chris's siege, the actions of the leaders of the three races were launched.

After a night of careful discussion, they reluctantly discovered that they had long been tied to the same boat as Essis. If the rebels had taken Essis, they would have no good fruit to eat. Not only are the beautiful elves and skilled dwarves the first choice of slave traders on the mainland, but even the barbarians with only one brute strength are also excellent candidates for labor, not to mention the covetousness of individual noblewomen.

In short, the day the city of Essis was broken was the end of these alien races. In addition, Essis itself is attractive enough, and it is also a rare land for them to live in peace. And after becoming a citizen of Essis, he is even more qualified to participate in the politics of Essis. This is not unattractive to these outcasts.

So, after discussing it, the three decided to cooperate with Essis. Early this morning, he came to the consul's residence and found Joseph. And Joseph, of course, greeted them warmly.

"You three of you, please take a seat, how are you thinking? You must know that time is unpopular, the war is anxious, and there is no time to waste. ”

The three of them looked at each other, and it was Olli who spoke first, "My lord, after we have thought about it, there are a few things that need to be explained to you. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Seeing that Joseph was not dissatisfied, Olli continued: "First of all, we need to sign an agreement between us, otherwise we will not be able to trust you. ”

"That's no problem, since everyone is cooperating, of course I won't deceive you."

"Second, we can't go to war, you know that we are too small to afford casualties."

"Yes. This is a matter between human beings, and you don't have to meddle. ”

After receiving two guarantees, the mood of the three of them improved a lot. Now that he has finished speaking, it will be Joseph's turn next. And Joseph was not polite, and said directly: "Since everyone has reached a consensus, then without further ado, let's assign the task immediately." ”

"Listen to your lordship." The three of them said in unison. (To be continued.) )
