Chapter 723: Incorrigible
The best conspiracy doesn't have to be done flawlessly and without question.
All it has to do is do the "right" thing at the crucial time, and then everything goes with the flow.
"San Antonio is in chaos."
Even passers-by and children can come to this conclusion.
The forces of the original Maria directly shrank their sphere of influence, giving up a large area of the periphery and giving way to the most precious treasure of San Antonio - the Golden Plain, the first grain producing area on the mainland.
Duke Batlló ordered the defense to be curtailed, and in just half a month, a strange agreement was reached with the demons of the Safilon Mountains, and the front line was suspended.
Now, his forces are frantically recruiting and preparing for war, but this time, his opponent may not be a foreign race.
On the other hand, Prince Winston, who was facing two fronts, was afraid that he could not sleep at night with anxiety, and as his backup, the Templar Church was also serious this time.
It is said that not only did the two reorganized paladins be dispatched, but also two gods came down.
Wendy, the god of forgiveness, and Fein, the god of wheat (harvest), are the weakest new gods, but what they come down from is the true body of the true god.
One has been a god for one hundred and twenty years, and the other has been ninety-five years, all of them are subordinate gods of the Holy Light system.
The evaluation given to them by the little goblins was that they had just reached the fifth level of transcendents who had just reached the standard of a weak god's true body, but in the mortal world ten years ago, they were definitely the strongest who were invincible, and it was difficult to say now.
The descent of the true gods to the earth also represents the escalation of the war again, which has directly transitioned from the war of mortals to the main drama of hand-to-hand combat by the gods themselves.
Although there were also high-end combat power in the Elven Kingdom before, it was the old practice of the Demon Tide.
And this time. It is also said that the abyss side used top-level combat power first. Breaking the unspoken rules.
Top-level combat power in assassination? Now the goblins are spreading the word everywhere. The real assassin was Cavins, Prince of the Abyss, and most of the other forces agreed with this explanation, except for Duke Batlló, who was the bitter lord.
After all, in the eyes of those in power, Roland has done a lot in this holy war, and the existence of Lan Meng also determines the position he should be in.
Perhaps, this is also the explanation that most human kingdoms are willing to accept. After all, the location of Lanmeng is becoming more and more important.
In this regard, Bair, the Nation of Mages, and Oran have done the best, and they have supported my innocence on every occasion, and praised me to the point that they do not recognize me.
It's a little touching, but I also know that it's also because they're getting more and more tied to Lanmeng, and this explanation is beneficial to them.
But alas. Onlookers are innocent, both sides of the parties. But I can't see it, while pretending not to see, but I can't explain it clearly.
And the information of that Duke Batlló was also dug up, Batlló. Keith, a contemporary family of the Keith family with a history of more than 500 years, is also a very powerful demonic warlock.
He was once a staunch supporter and suitor of Mary...... When I saw this, I also felt that this buddy's taste was really strong enough.
Anyway, it's nothing more than a bad game - the prince will have a kind of Xiangning, and the emperor's position will be changed.
"It seems, San Antonio, there's a mess."
I thought about it for a while, calculated the resources available to me, and finally gave up on meddling.
San Antonio is the first power in the faint continent, the tree is big, the sky is falling, and the tall is on top, and now the world is in chaos, so naturally he is the first to suffer.
The sudden death of the former emperor and the civil war between the princess who used the power of the abyss and the prince, who represented the traditional knightly class, have already planted the shadow of discord.
This is not an accidental contradiction of individuals, but is determined by the national conditions of San Antonio.
The land is vast and the resources are vast, but it also needs enough strength to protect it.
In this era, the general communication was slow, so that the command of the military force could only be among the local generals, send a message from the national capital, and wait until they reached the border, and it was difficult to make it impossible for two months to pass.
It is impossible to command blindly from a distance in the national capital, so the knightly class of San Antonio is quite pure, quite pure united around the Iron Hat Prince of the Frontier.
Anyway, there must always be someone in charge of the town, and outsiders can't give their own relatives, and San Antonio is in various border fortresses, which is the fief of the princes.
In modern times, there are 12 princes of San Antonio, most of whom were born as second sons of the royal family and children of the side chambers, and then blossomed in the frontier fiefdoms and continue to this day.
It is easy to seal a prince, but it is difficult to have one less prince, and the primogeniture inheritance system of territorial nobles is the cornerstone of feudal society, so why let the descendants of the prince give up their father's territory.
Over the years, the royal family has also seen problems, and there is no new crown prince, but it is too late.
The knightly class, to be a purely professional soldier, is to make military merits, and if they want to make meritorious contributions on the border, what they need to please most is not the royal family in the national capital, but these princes.
Over time, there will naturally be rifts between the royal family and the prince with real power on the border, but this country is big and stable enough, and the royal family has been careful to handle it, and there have been no major problems.
At least, because there are also mutual checks and balances between princes, the royal family itself is also the strongest feudal aristocracy in the country, and no one is stupid to be a bird before the royal family does too much.
But in recent generations, the royal population has not been prosperous, and the princes are all moved.
By the time of the previous generation of emperors, it was barely able to maintain, but the princes were already ready to move, and according to the aristocratic heraldry law, when the bloodline was cut off, it was natural to find an heir in the branch.
So, almost two months before the sudden death of the old emperor, Maria's only brother also died unexpectedly.
Winston was the head of the Prince's faction, but he was also the agent of the entire knightly class and the feudal aristocracy.
The princess represents the supreme royal power, and all the loyal royal power naturally rally around her, but she has done a lot more to suppress her ambitious uncle and uncle in order to strengthen the royal power.
Around her, there are spellcasters, military knights from civilian backgrounds, petty merchandisers, sorcerers and demon sorcerers who are regarded as dangerous elements, and as long as they are faithful to the king, she does not find fault with any origin.
The new forces and the traditional forces are not compatible by nature, and the struggle between them is only a matter of time.
And the unexpected death of the old emperor was the fuse of the civil war.
The outbreak of jihad before made the two sides reluctant to reconcile, and now that Mary is dead, it is equivalent to completely tearing up the foundation for a peaceful settlement of civil strife.
As soon as the banner of revenge for the Lord fell, the reformists lost their so-called righteousness, and as San Antonios, they were supposed to obey the new royal family.
Righteousness may sound illusory, but it affects everyone's heart.
They were forcibly gathered together by Maria, and they would soon fall apart, but it was clear that the reformers who had managed to change their fate were unwilling to accept such a fate.
On the one hand, he was sent to the gallows after being liquidated, and on the other hand, he was the founder of the country after the struggle, and how to decide has been proven by facts.
Batlló was still preparing for war, and I don't know when the civil war began, but I knew the day it ended—that is, the blood was shed on both sides, the city was in ruins, and everyone from civilians to careerists suffered so much that they could no longer accept the pain of war before it was possible to sit at the negotiating table.
And the alliance between Duke Batlló and the forces of chaos made the truth even more confusing, and everything fell into a fog.
I'm afraid no one can calculate how many conspiracies and calculations there are, but San Antonio has fallen to this point is probably the result of the joint calculations of all forces.
Now, instead of rushing to prevent San Antonio from falling apart, the great powers of the human race are busy holding celebratory banquets.
"San Antonio, there is no ...... to be saved" (To be continued.) )
