Chapter Twenty-Four—Deterrence
When the third prince came to the council hall with people, he happened to see the scene of Alessa fighting Karina and a female officer without falling behind, and still attacking Mia Linas. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Except for the old man, who had no ashes left behind in the fire, everyone was subconsciously shocked by Alesa's bravery.
And when the old man, who was also fireless, saw this scene, he immediately pulled out the straight sword at his waist, and after attaching a powerful magic weapon to the straight sword with a magic wand, he also rushed forward and joined the battle!
The old man's swordsmanship is very unpretentious, but his moves are straight to the point, so that the female officer and Kailina are suppressed for a while to the point that they are about to be killed! Luckily, Mia Linas reacted and began to direct the Crystal Lantern and the Lamplight Ghost to deal with the two Fireless Ashes, lest the Fireless Ashes target herself after killing Karina and the female officer herself.
Because of the previous battle between Lu Ming and Evenness, several palaces in the palace were destroyed, so when Mia Linas commanded the two ghost-based Pokemon, she did not let them use fire-based skills, so as not to suffer further losses in the palace.
But the problem is that relying only on ghost skills and a few other skills, trying to defeat or repel these two fireless ashes is basically a fool's dream!
In just a dozen rounds, the ghost of the light was knocked away by the old man's sword, and he fell to the ground, unable to get up.
Seeing this, there was no way, Mia Linas could only draw her sword for self-defense and join the battle group.
Unlike a normal swordsman, Mia Linas was forcibly promoted from a fighter to a swordsman, so she was not skilled at all in the control of her swordsmanship. It can only attach Gang Qi to the sword, increasing the sharpness and tenacity of the sword. And there is no way to use a godlike whip like Evenness's men, Gabgar, to attack the two fireless ashes.
Without the Gang Qi Long Whip, it is not easy to use the sword qi here in the palace, and the two younger brothers are even more optimistic about the show, and even killing themselves makes Mia Linas feel miserable.
But just as Alesa's scythe was about to cut off Mia Linas's head, an ice-blue beam of light suddenly struck her, freezing her entire body.
This scene surprised the old man and the two princes!
They hurried to look in the direction where the beam came, and saw a child dressed in aristocratic attire that only a Grand Duke could wear, with several counts and viscounts, walking towards the council chamber. And the guards of the third prince and the eldest prince were also ruthlessly suppressed by the armies of the two grand dukes.
With the arrival of the two Grand Dukes, soon all the Grand Dukes except for the Grand Duke Hasta of Karksa also arrived at the council hall with the counts of their own principalities, which shocked the Grand Prince and the Third Prince.
Eight Grand Dukes, seven came, what does this mean? Or just change the dynasty?
"Spread the fire, but also look at your own strength. Aftermath. When he walked past the somewhat frightened old man, Lu Ming, who arrived in time, chuckled.
Once upon a time, like the old man and Alesha, he was one of the people who rolled around in front of the salary king, and now he ......
The Grand Dukes sat down one by one, and Raels and Ferram, as economic leaders, took the lead in speaking, saying: "I didn't expect that before I waited for these important ministers, your royal family would start fighting on its own?" ”
As he spoke, Raels and Ferram glanced at the eldest prince and the third prince respectively, making their hearts flutter.
Then, Grand Duke U Fa of the Fish-Man Clan looked at Mia Linas, who looked a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "I heard that your royal family is willing to cooperate with our principalities to establish an economic and trade network. I don't know, is it true or not? ”
"It's true, Grand Duke of Law." Princess Mialinas gasped slightly, straightened her clothes and hair accessories, and sat down in the seat where she and the eldest prince, the father of the third prince, Ravensk Unos, were in the past, and said with a smile.
Mia Linas's move to sit in Ravensk's seat now made the Grand Dukes and their nobles frown. Because such a move is too revealing of her own ambitions.
But the Grand Duke and the nobles did not remind her of her clothes, and she had already sat down, so the crowd did not say anything.
However, if the grand dukes don't say it, it doesn't mean that the eldest prince and the third prince don't say it.
As soon as he heard that Mia Linas planned to cooperate with the seven principalities in order to successfully gain the support of the Grand Dukes, the Grand Prince immediately said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the conditions given by the Imperial Sister can be given by me as well as Plicast Unos!" ”
"Me too!" The third prince then said.
Hearing this, Winsland Meer, the countess of the Grand Duke of Ferram, suddenly smiled evilly and asked, "Even if you are allowed to join the Grand Duke of Ufara's house?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter, even the Grand Duke of U-Fa, who was also teased at. Only the faces of the two princes were red with anger, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
"Guys, I think we're ready to start deciding on the bill." Once everyone had calmed down from Winslant's joke, Lothric spoke to the Grand Dukes and Mia Linas and the two princes.
For the matter of the crown prince and the new emperor, the grand dukes did not specify who it must be, but Mia Linas came to power, and the benefits brought to the various principalities were a little greater. After all, the city of the eldest prince and the third prince is much deeper than Mia Linas, who has been hiding under the wing of Ravensk. The two of them are not easy to control and bring benefits to the principality.
But if Mia Linas really can't help herself and her attitude towards foreign enemies is not tough enough, the Grand Dukes will not hesitate to abandon this princess who has nothing for the support of themselves and others.
"Commerce, which is now a project that is in full swing in all of our principalities. Therefore, the seven principalities of Errepos, Tartarus, and Laleier all hope to establish a hub in the center of Miracaisa, the imperial capital of Oreno, so that the entire Miracaisa can establish a huge trade network and let Miracaisa develop rapidly. ”
"The development of commerce can make the handicraft, blacksmithing, and agriculture of the entire Mirakesa progress rapidly! So we felt that this trade network, which spread throughout Miracaisa, was an indispensable choice for Miracaisa. Moreover, the establishment of a trade network can allow the country to better control the mercenary army, which has been very difficult to control from the moment it appears. The development of trade can make merchants see the benefits, so that they vigorously hire mercenaries to protect their caravans. ”
"In this case, the mercenary can know that it will be more profitable to work for the caravan tool in the trade network than for the enemy country. In this way, the mercenary will think about whether it is worth it to do things for the enemy country. Working for their country's caravans, they can earn 5 gold coins at a time, and two or three times a month. For doing things for the enemy country, they may be able to get 10 gold coins, but in the end, very few people can get gold coins. Moreover, after the war, the first people to clean up the enemy country will definitely be them. When the time comes, it is impossible for them to be sheltered by their own country and hunted down by their employers, and in the end, how many people will survive, and how many will be able to live comfortably? ”
"So, once the trade network is successfully established, as long as they are not fools, it is impossible for those mercenaries to do things stupidly for the enemy country. The stronger the mercenary, the more money they want to get. The emergence of trade networks will give them safe and stable jobs, and we can also introduce various laws and regulations to control these mercenaries and caravans. ”
Listening to Lothric's words, the first reaction of the eldest prince was to see a way to completely control the group of mercenaries. With this method, the previous method of the official mercenary organization is not even garbage!
It can be said that this is the result of the difference between the vision and the goal point.
Previously, Ravensk's idea was only for mercenaries, but now the Grand Dukes' idea is to focus mainly on business, and the control of mercenaries is just a side product.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I agree with your thoughts." The Grand Prince stood up and said to the Grand Dukes, "I think it is much better for me to cooperate with you than with Mia Linas!" ”
Hearing this, Mia Linas immediately stood up and said to the Grand Dukes: "Ladies and gentlemen, I think it is enough to cooperate with you to bring Mirakesa to a prosperous and powerful future!" ”
However, neither the Grand Dukes nor the nobles of the various principalities had any intention of speaking for the two of them.
Looking at the two crown princes lightly, watching their sisters and brothers convince themselves and others as much as possible for the throne to get more and more possibilities, the grand dukes are a little bit optimistic.
From the slightly hooked corners of the Grand Duke's mouth, Lu Ming and the other nobles all saw that in the future, the royal family would enter a period of downturn. If the trade network is built up too quickly, a constitutional monarchy is the future of the royal family of Miracaiza. Although it may be because of the gods, a part of the power will be left. But it is basically impossible to restore the power of the Ryvinsk era.
After a period of silence, the Grand Duke of Amp was the first to speak, shouting to the three crown princes who had the right to compete for the throne: "Now is not the time to decide who the new emperor is, Your Majesty's body has not yet been buried, and the construction of the mausoleum has not begun. You have started to grab this position like this, so that your majesty's soul can rest in peace?! ”
However, Archduke Amp did not expect that his own question would give Mia Linas a chance to strengthen her competitiveness.
After the Grand Duke of Amp, she said to the Grand Dukes: "I have fire in my body from my father's body, which proves that I am the successor appointed by my father!" ”
As soon as he heard this, the eldest prince immediately retorted: "That's because we weren't there at the time, and you were the only one in the imperial capital!" ”
"So, why did my father let you leave the imperial capital and let me stay?!"
"Do you think you were chosen by your father? So why don't you have supporters of your own? Why isn't there a single minister, a nobleman, willing to support you? ”
Seeing that Mia Linas and the eldest prince had a tendency to quarrel, the Grand Duke of Amp suddenly roared angrily: "Shut up for me!" ”
In an instant, Mia Linas and the eldest prince did not dare to quarrel any longer.
The Grand Dukes are now watching them, and anything that is wrong will make the Three Princes and Princess Ella, who is still in Erepos, inexplicably profitable.
In such a situation, excessive quarrels will make you unfavorable. So the two of them sat down obediently after a loud shout from the Grand Duke of the Principality of Amp.
"I don't care, which of you is the person designated by His Majesty, our Grand Duke only cares about which of you can lead this country! If it were true that one of you could become emperor, then Evennese would have been an empress long ago!! ”
After glancing viciously at Mia Linas, the eldest prince and the third prince, the Grand Duke of Amp said in a deep voice: "We will make a decision in half a month, you had better preside over His Majesty's funeral, the reconstruction of the imperial capital and the arrangements for refugees during this period of time, and the person who does the best, and does not play tricks, will be the new emperor we elected." If none of you do a good job, we'll have to find someone else. You know, Prince Rukaziaika's daughter is now also in the imperial capital!! ”
Prince Rukazeka was the eldest brother of Ravensk, Evennes, and Heines, and was considered the best heir to the throne by both the royal family and the Wolf Pack Council.
It is said that at the age of thirteen, the prince began to lead troops to fight against some foreign rebels in the country, and was the first to include captives of various primitive alien races in his army and think tank.
He was also the first to choose the policy of tenderness when targeting various primitive tribes, cavemen, woodland insects, swampland lizardmen and other alien races. Let Mirakesa instantly get the support of a large number of alien races and obtain a large number of troops. Many of the duchymen's troyodytes and bugmen, as well as the lizardfolk nobles, were also chosen after learning the methods of Prince Rukaziaika.
It was also because of his thoughts that the principalities gradually and quickly suppressed and absorbed these aliens, making them a part of the kingdom of Mirakaisa, and making Mirakesar and the principalities instantly much stronger.
It is a pity that such an excellent crown prince was poisoned by his younger brother and sister at the age of fifteen. The only person who was saddened by his death was the seven-year-old Princess Heines. And the other brothers and sisters were all happy about his death!
But when Prince Rukaziaika died, he left behind a trace of blood.
While quelling an alien rebellion, he had a love affair with a matriarch of the Zerg, who also gave birth to a daughter.
And this outlier in the royal family, who is neither a human, nor an orc-eared tribe, nor a fish-man, a woman of the three main races of Mirakaisa, is now under the full protection of the Wolf Pack Council and has survived to the present.
Because he is the heir of the previous crown prince, this thirty-two-year-old Royal Highness does have the right to inherit the throne!
So when Mia Linas and the others heard that she was also the target of the Grand Dukes' consideration, they couldn't help but be shocked.
If the people in the imperial capital of the Wolf Pack Council knew about this, they still don't know how happy they would be? They will definitely fully support that person to come to power, and do everything they can to suppress the three of them.
At that time, as the children of one of the suspects who poisoned the father, the fate can be imagined. (To be continued.) )
