Chapter 65: The Glorious Empire
After all, once it is proved that the Zerg can really allow level 8 powerhouses to advance to demigods, then there will be countless level 8 powerhouses who will voluntarily trade with the Zerg without any more effort from the Zerg.
"What do I need to do?" Now that he had decided to trade with the Zerg, the Hebrews did not continue to twist any further.
"Follow me!" Natali beckoned to the Hebrews......
The Glorious Empire is a typical feudal state, with 60% of the country's territory belonging to lords of all sizes. However, compared to other countries, the Brilliant Empire's control over the lords is still relatively strong. Nine hundred years ago, there was also a large-scale lord rebellion in the Glorious Empire, when nearly half of the lords became independent, and the Brilliant Empire was in turmoil for a while.
However, the glorious empire at that time was also an era of many talents, and famous generals and saints sprung up in an endless stream. In the end, the Brilliant Empire relied on this group of elites to defeat the independent lords, and also expelled the other empires that took advantage of the fire to loot from their own territory one by one, and continued the glory of the Glorious Empire for the next 900 years.
It was extremely difficult for a feudal country to end the feudal system, and one group of noble lords was defeated and another group of new nobles was born. The man who had followed the glorious emperor to conquer the world and swore allegiance to the death became the new lord of the empire.
The Emperor of the Brilliant Empire created a decree to prevent the recurrence of similar lord rebellions. No matter what the reason, no matter how remote the lord's land is, every four years the fiefdom lords of the whole country above the baron level must go to the capital of the glorious empire to meet the emperor, and the offender will be dealt with as a crime of treason. In addition to this, a series of large and small decrees were enacted to restrict the rights of the liege.
However, in order to continue the glory of the empire, the emperor of the empire should not weaken the power of the lords too much, after all, the rule of the empire in this world still needs the help of these lords. Although it is not easy for a centralized country to have a lord rebellion, most centralized countries are destroyed at the hands of other countries. The Kingdom of St. Ulan is a good example, and of course there are many such countries in the south.
This question is complicated to explain. It stands to reason that a centralized state should be easier to manage the state than a closed state, but in fact, most centralized countries can still maintain prosperity during the first two generations of monarchs, and will inevitably decline after three generations. The reason for this is that the whole country is the domain of the king or emperor alone, and the nobles lack a sense of belonging to their own country after their rights are weakened to the limit.
At this time, if there is an invasion from other countries, most of the nobles will not contribute too much, and most of the invading countries will give some benefits to the local nobles in order to stabilize the rule of the region, and even reward them with some territories. And at this time, once the monarch is also very mediocre, then the country is not far from extinction. To put it bluntly, the whole country is played by the king's family, and other nobles will not actively maintain the rule of the country if they do not get the benefits they deserve.
In a feudal country, even if the emperor is very mediocre, the lords will resist desperately for their own interests when other countries invade. And in order to expand their territory, the lords of the frontier are also mostly aggressive. This will undoubtedly preserve the blood of civilians in the country. As long as the empire has complete laws to ensure that the emperor's territory is not encroached upon by the lords, and the emperor is not abandoned by the great families, then the entire country will remain in rule for a very long time. Although there are also some cases where the lord grows to a certain extent and removes the emperor from power, it is much stronger than a centralized state with an average life expectancy of less than 200 years.
In the final analysis, it is a political system caused by the huge power of the family in this world, and the big family has a huge amount of resources and knowledge to continuously cultivate talents for the family. Some huge families have not even broken a level 9 powerhouse for several generations in a row. And how can civilians become powerful professionals if they can't even get a decent vindictive book?
In such an environment, it is impossible for the emperor to suppress the strength of the family, and can only rely on their strength. This is how such a strange political system has been achieved.
Wick City, the glorious empire. This is a realm directly under the Emperor of the Glorious Empire, but the lord of Wick City has always been Bocuse, and even now that Bocuse is too old to walk, the next lord will be his son. Because Bocuse was the most powerful family in the vicinity of Wick, such a thing was extremely common elsewhere at a time when the imperial power of the Glorious Empire was in decline. If it weren't for the mediocre old Biro who relied on the strong heritage left by his ancestors, he would have lost the entire empire long ago.
As usual, the gates of Wake City were finally opened as the sun rose over the horizon, and the pedestrians and merchants waiting outside to rush into the city entered the city in an orderly manner. In just half an hour, the city gate, which had been bustling with people, became deserted, with only a few pedestrians entering and exiting occasionally.
Gray Mai with a big sword, the bearded image with a straw hat, a shadow stretched by the morning sun slowly appeared on the horizon. He seemed to walk very slowly. But there seems to be an unusually fast one. Because he was still thirty miles away when the guards outside the city gate saw him, he appeared in front of the city gate in just one minute, seemingly unfast.
The two guards glanced at each other, and this person was indeed a little weird. Seeing that he was dressed as a ranger, he hesitated, but he still mustered up the courage to take his weapon and stop forward.
Ranger is a very special existence among humans, and most of them are poor warriors. But he doesn't want to be the canine teeth of the powerful, and he doesn't want to mingle with vulgar mercenaries all day long. But if they don't do these jobs, they won't earn a penny, so they have a special identity - to kill people.
It is the killer guild that kills people when they collect money, but the rangers are a special group of killers. They don't kill people because their employers give them enough money, they only kill those they want to kill, and then they go to the homes of the enemies of the people they are killed to collect money for the killings. When encountering this kind of person, they generally send it away as soon as they can, so most of the people who are found will pay them money. Most of these rangers have strange tempers and even a little nervous, but most of them are very strong, otherwise these people would have been captured countless times by the imperial army. Most of them are level 9 powerhouses who disdain them, but people below level 9 can't beat their existence.
In the face of such an existence, it is no wonder that the soldiers guarding the city gate are panicking. (To be continued.) )
