"My lord, I ......," Carter tried to say, but in the end he didn't open his mouth. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Well, my lord, that's how it is now......."

After some explanation from Carthus, I also roughly figured out what was going on.

At the beginning, Field Carter can be said to be ungrateful, and he killed Master Kelswens so that he has not been able to revive to this day. After Master Kelsvens fell asleep, the already unstable Free Cities League was thrown into disarray, and Rock Lauren was forced to retire by his subordinates after working alone for a few years. Harry Jones has also been busy fighting the harassment of the kingdom and has not worked hard to take care of the affairs within the alliance. As the consul of Mondona, Field Karther inherited the largest and richest piece of land in the Free Cities Alliance, but at the same time, he also inherited the political legacy of Master Kelswens and fell into a very difficult situation.

Master Kelsvins planned to do a lot of things that were ahead of his eyes during his reign. For example, secretly sending money and materials to support the uprising of the northern mountain people, so busy that the kingdom's army could not be opened, and creating a safe environment for the development of the Free Cities Alliance. At the same time, the master also relied on the connections he had accumulated during the kingdom period to secretly sell some local products of the Free Cities Alliance to nearby kingdom cities, and made a lot of money. And this money is also used to buy the materials that the alliance lacks at a low price in the kingdom, ensuring that the alliance can develop without worry. Moreover, the master also made a big plan, if his plan is followed, the alliance will have the military strength of the kingdom's two regular legions within ten years, as well as the economic level equivalent to the kingdom's ten medium-sized cities. Moreover, at that time, the master had already planned many small-scale uprisings, and when the time came, the southwest of the kingdom would be in chaos, and the Free Cities Alliance would expand again. At that time, the master had already advanced to the Magister, and the Subic Kingdom would not launch a conquest against a Magister and the Free Cities Alliance that already had a certain strength because of a few cities in the southwest, not to mention that the Alliance's magic array was so strong in defense of the strong. The Alliance of Free Cities can survive on the continent as a small independent force, and the Master can retire and devote himself to the study of magic.

But by the time of Archon Field Karther, everything went wrong. First of all, the Free Cities Alliance was scattered, Carter was unable to mobilize the power of the entire Free Cities Alliance, and Calsvens's plan for the development of the Alliance came to naught. And because the city of Mondo was limited in its capacity to provide enough supplies, support for the northern mountain people was completely cut off after a few months. And even within Mondona, the new class of power, as well as the old nobility of the former kingdom, began to make trouble for Carthus.

The source of these troubles was also found by Carter himself. The guy who seduced Carthus with his power and thus used his tricks for the master was the leader of the rebel army, "Milon Pobot", who rebelled with the kingdom's army in the last civil war in Mondona. It turns out that this guy is not trustworthy at all, and he is very skilled in selling teammates. At the time when Carter thought he could safely monopolize Mondo, this guy sold a good teammate and told the inside information to the powerful people in the city, and once this news leaked out, the Free Cities Alliance would directly collapse and even start a civil war. So in order to keep his mouth shut, Carter was forced to accede to many unreasonable demands of these elites, and handed over to them many rights and financial functions that should not be delegated, and they also had the right to intervene in politics from then on.

In the years that followed, the effects of Master Kelsvens' fainting gradually subsided, and Rock Lauren, who was most likely to turn against Carter, was forced to step down, but before Carter could breathe a sigh of relief, he discovered another serious problem. Those powerful people have developed faster and faster in the past few years, and they have become more and more powerful, so powerful that even Carthus can only ask them for help in many things, and these people have also formed a community of interests with Carthus, sharing Mondona's rights together.

And many of the things that Master Kelswens made back then were vetoed by these magnates one by one, because those things would harm their own interests and make their gold coins fly out of their pockets, which they would not agree to anyway. Foreign trade became more and more difficult due to the deterioration of relations with the kingdom and the several turns of the Grandel and Mondona, and finally became a means for some merchants to make profits, and not a single tax was collected in this regard.

Carter was self-defeating, but the Free Cities Union lost its best opportunity to grow, and has since become even more disorganized and vulnerable. That's why the Free Cities Alliance has a series of seemingly ridiculous problems that we first crossed over, which are all the knock-on consequences of a bad incident that year.

As for the letter in my possession inviting me in the name of Carthus, it also has a lot to do with these Mondona magnates. Because of our arrival and rapid development, Mondona became our vassal power, and the Free Cities Alliance was once again united and continued to grow under our stewardship. But it also seriously affects the interests of these magnates, and the impact is so deep that even the holy water trade I give them cannot make up for it.

We stationed troops in Mondona, changed the tax standards in Mondona, and changed some laws, which caused the loss of the privileges of many powerful people, and the loss of the opportunity for tax evasion by many unscrupulous businessmen. And we have also emptied their power by administrative and military means, although the matter is still in their charge, but it must be carried out under our supervision. Oil and water are getting harder and harder to fish, and we're still growing stronger, so strong that even the kingdom can't compete with us head-on. These magnates felt more dangerous than ever, so they decided to take the plunge and do something that would be ridiculous to think about.

They were going to invite me to Mondona, and for this reason they obtained the blank signed manuscript and the consul's seal, which Carthusian had prepared, and sent their men to deliver the letter to me, and to bring me to Mondona. Then wake up Master Kelswens, hoping to use the Master's strength and popularity among the people to fight against us and regain their lost power.

Carter didn't tell them that I already had a Warlord to help them, so they were still naïve enough to intimidate us, they underestimated our strength. And a master like Kelvens, who was awakened to help a cunning parasite, I don't think the master will be happy. And these guys didn't expect that the meaning of the letter would have such a serious impact on me, an Oriental, and came to Mondona so long in advance, knowing these things, I guess they knew that they would hit the wall in anger.

But I also have a way to deal with them, since they want to wake up the master, good, then I'll help them wake up the master!
