Even high altitudes are not without danger, the airspace of an ordinary small country is simply undefended against the air knights of a large country, but entering the airspace of a large country at will is tantamount to provoking the country's air defense forces and air knights.

But the most dangerous thing is that it accidentally enters the attack range of the mage tower, even if the dragon encounters a well-prepared mage tower, it is easy to fall behind.

A high-quality mage tower can multiply a mage's spells tenfold, and it is entirely possible for a large area of high-ring magic to become a small forbidden spell after several stacks of bonuses, and there are quite a few dragons struck down by mages, which is also the source of the dragons' basic respect for the caster.

And as far as I know, the capitals of the main counties of the Kingdom of Baier have such air defense areas, and even slightly stronger lords will recruit archmages to build air defense areas, of course, they may not be guarding against foreign enemies, after all, the financial resources of the big lords of the super empire will not be inferior to the treasury of small countries, and there are not a few who can afford to raise empty knights.

Just as there is an eternal struggle between divine power and kingship, the autonomy of kingship and local lords is always in contradiction.

And if the royal family is in an extremely weak situation, the local lords will often attack each other first and seize each other's territories and people, perhaps the reasons they use are just "your kid didn't invite me to the birth celebration" and "your wife seduced my second brother-in-law" and other nonsense, but if the royal power loses its authority, these reasons that no one will believe are enough.

If the royal power is weak, civil strife is inevitable, and when a lord who occupies the majority of the country wins, a new royal family should be born.

And since the nascent kingship ascended to the throne with strength, it was naturally born to centralize power. The royal power naturally entered a period of strength, but there is no dynasty in the world that does not fall. It is even more impossible to represent the Ming monarchs, as long as they still implement the sub-feudal system and the bloodline inheritance system. It is only a matter of time before a new one is replaced.

Obviously, this is an unpleasant cycle, but such a social structure allows for non-stop struggle and annexation, and at the same time exposes ordinary people to the threat of war, it does not negate its contribution to social progress, at least it is a natural exchange mechanism, and the stupid or perverse king will eventually fall.

Considering the future development route, I have studied these political systems. But he didn't plan to come up with a "declaration of emancipation of serfs" and "fight local tyrants and divide the land", and he didn't even plan to carry out deep-seated social reforms outside the law, because in the current situation of vast territory, backward productivity, and overly strong wild monsters, this kind of system in which the lord is completely responsible for the people within his own scope seems to be backward, but in fact it is the most suitable for the current social situation.

"The whole world is for the public? Should everyone listen to the king? Since it's all royal, then you go to the royal family to protect you. ”

The lord's ownership and wealth possession of the territory and the people is also the driving force for him to build up his combat power and protect his family and land. Didn't the original chivalry come from the most basic loyalty to the lord to protect the territory?

Nobility comes from the ordinary, and the protection of one's own possessions is understandable, after a certain tone has been set throughout the era. Half a step forward is a genius, and a step forward is a fool who will be tied to the stake and barbecued.

If there really is a traverser who comes up, he will make a completely centralized power and county system, and replace the lord with a rotating magistrate. What awaits him is definitely not a bumper harvest, but the disintegration of the entire country.

It may take years for a central government decree to reach remote areas. I don't know what has become of the people who have ordered the grassroots opinions, and the population of the centralized government is overloaded. It is a problem that cannot be solved at all in the current era.

There is no solution to the plague and famine that may be caused by just too many people, and if you think about it a little, you will know that this is tantamount to death, and this is how good intentions do bad things.

Of course, if it is still feasible for a small country to try, if the technology develops to a certain extent, and gradually implements urbanization and modernization, medical care, communications, transportation, agriculture, industry, etc. will rise several grades with the industrial revolution, even if I don't do anything, the times will naturally change...... It seems that something was accidentally leaked, well, I admit that I personally did have a heartbeat, but to cut off the cycle of this change of kingship, it is not an overnight thing.

Of course, there are a few exceptions, such as countries that are too small, religious countries with unified divine and royal power, and border countries that are always under the threat of foreign invasion.

Ahem, the reincarnation of history will leave him alone for the time being, anyway, it has been turned so many times and no less this time, I don't plan to shout the slogan "All men are created equal" and "All wealth belongs to everyone", or what sickle and axe party is set up, and the plan to become a public enemy of the whole world, how much power and how much strength, let's take a look at the present first.

When the royal power of the Kingdom of Baier is now in its heyday, many local lords will naturally not attack each other, on the contrary, they will unite to resist the royal family's desire for centralized power, since complete centralization is an impossible dream under the existing conditions, this is a struggle that is destined to have no eternal victor, and the struggle between the two sides will continue forever until a new royal family is born.

Now that Baier is at the peak of history, Oros can even let other lords send their eldest sons to the royal capital to "learn", and the reorganization of other lords' private soldiers has also achieved certain results, but if you want to make all the lords obedient, it will take at least a hundred more years, and there will be no chaos inside and outside the battle, unless he is the undead protagonist who opened the golden finger, otherwise he will definitely not be able to wait.

Although today's Bayer is nominally unified, if it is divided according to strict standards, it is still a piece of feudal territory, calculating the combat power of a country, it often refers to the subsidiary army of the country's royal family and territory, and the Royal Knights are also equal to the National Knights, but if it is a large-scale battle, I am afraid that the private army of each lord will be added, after all, in response to the king's call, sending private troops to participate in the national war is also one of the basic obligations of the lord.

Don't underestimate the private army, their training and equipment are the foundation of a certain lord's family's inheritance, special equipment and troops are often adapted to local conditions, and there are many private armies that are stronger than the regular army of the kingdom. And often due to the royal family's restrictions on the lord, the large nobles who were limited in the number of private soldiers would try to win by quality. It is not without precedent that the average individual combat power far exceeds that of the Royal Knights.

The limit on the number of private soldiers is often related to the title, but there are also ways to exploit loopholes such as militia and militia reserves. Although each individual does not seem to be much, and once accumulated, the accumulated combat power of the noble private armies of most countries is several times more than that of the royal family, so as to restrain the royal family, after all, in a sense, the royal family of the feudal kingdom of this era is itself the strongest lord in the country.

This is still a normal lord, and if it is a big lord guarding the border pass, it is impossible for the strength of his troops to be limited. Such a big nobleman can also easily become a new royal candidate.

And along the way, I also saw how deep the confidence of the Kingdom of Baier is.

Basically, in any area, there will be air knights who take the initiative to follow, or griffin knights, or Pegasus knights, and even dragon knights have encountered one, and there are even spellcasters riding manticores, or a small team. Or three or two, the empty knights that ordinary small countries can't afford to raise are the most basic configuration of the lords of Bayer, and I actually look at the two towers looming in the clouds.

They saw the blue dragon of the Grand Duke of Dragoon in front of them, but they did not leave directly. Just silently follow until you leave the airspace, often when you are on the border. A new empty rider came, and the previous one turned back. And this polite and distancing attitude is not just for us outsiders. Along the way, no one greeted the Grand Duke of Dragoon, which was unusual from the bones.

The Dragon Knights, who nominally belong only to the royal family, still have the right of free passage in various regions, but these empty knights who follow silently may not be able to stop the dragon knights from doing anything, but at least they show an attitude - "This place is mine, you can come, but it must be within our surveillance." ”

This is obviously a bit too much, and it is very different from what I heard at the beginning, and it seems that with the time limit of the Emperor's Majesty approaching, these lords have new ideas.

But even if I haven't arrived in the royal capital yet, I can guess something, it's just that there are too many princes, and this civil war seems inevitable, but once the fight starts, no matter who is the last victor on the throne, the authority of the royal power will naturally be greatly reduced, and the era of the lords oppressing the royal family more than forty years ago seems to be possible again.

As for the dragon knight's defense, it may not only be a political statement, but also somewhat practical.

"Who knows if you're here to record deployments and military deployments in preparation for a possible war later."

As for us outsiders? We weren't interrogated at all, perhaps, because of this guide, we were also seen as members of the Dragon Knights, and our new companions were also walking with us.

New partner? Well, didn't I just say it casually before, and suddenly there was a tornado? In fact, it was so coincidental that the rampaging storm reappeared in front of us and took the form of a familiar figure - Kamdil'an, the god of the wind element.

"Your Excellency Roland, I have come to you on a special trip. There are some very important things I would like to discuss with you. ”

After killing Om Diloken, he fled...... He left in a hurry, but now he took the initiative to appear in front of me, obviously looking for me, and unlike the little bugs and stupid mortals in the past, he obviously lowered his posture.

These ancient storage zài are so realistic, if you don't come up with a record that proves that you are the same as the zài, they will not look at people squarely.

Of course, I'm glad to meet Kamdil'an, after all, I'm now looking for the artifact of the Wind Elemental God and killing him...... Just ask him, and you might find a reward.

But if you look at the past carefully, you can only reluctantly give up a backup plan, after all, the other party is just an incarnation in front of me, this kind of thing will blow itself up at every turn, not to mention, it's difficult to explode any good equipment, this kind of boss that is difficult to fight and doesn't drop things is still forget it.

But now in the middle of the journey, obviously not the time to chat, so I asked him to follow directly, but strangely, he was anxious to say something, so I asked casually, and he was overjoyed to ask directly.

"Your Excellency, I am talking about what you did in Orlan, the blasphemous priest and anti-holy ...... who banished the divine powers."

"What? Blasphemy of the priest? Anti-Holy Knight? ”――

While the Battle of the Titan was being staged in the theater southwest of Bayer, the naval battle of Oran also achieved amazing results.

The cooperation of the Four Spirit Sword Envoys sent by Renee and the Funeral Fleet achieved amazing results, the battleship group went on a rampage, and the Sea Clan who were scattered in formation would be divided into three teams of Four Spirit Sword Envoys to harvest, and the results were remarkable all the way.

In fact, this set of tactical team and fleet coordination tactics was originally used to cooperate with the Northern Lights and the seven super heavy warships in its fleet, and it is just right to take it out now.

In actual combat, the problems of squad tactics have also been exposed, for example, the individual combat strength is too weak and the guide does not dare to fight hard, and some equipment has many problems such as water leakage and electric shock due to the poor manufacturing process, and non-combat losses are increasing.

But Renee's command is still very proper, with the Aurora Knight with a very high average combat power as cover and support, Donglan's results are remarkable, although he lost some equipment, but the loss of personnel is not much.

Although the reinforcements of the Sea Clan arrived, they still couldn't stop the slow charge of the black funeral fleet, and the two sides entered a meat grinder-style war of attrition, but one side was blocked, and the Sea Clan, who lacked fighting spirit and sacrifice, naturally retreated.

Although the losses on the human side were not small, the strategic goal set at the beginning was still achieved - to reach the dock area where the underwater base is located.

And when they got there, the fleet began to turn sideways and enter a state of arming, and the divers and the ocean were ready to start underwater operations, but an accident completely reversed the shape of the entire battlefield, and also made Camdir find Roland thousands of miles away, after all, what was shown in this war meant great to an ancient elemental god like him.

"Those dark elves, strike! They turned the whole battlefield around! (To be continued......)
