Fundamentally different from other super-empires, the Lanmeng is not an independent nation, it is an alliance of the Northland states.

The seven kingdoms of the Northland, which are regarded as border barbarians by human society, are the geographical core of this alliance, and the non-human races in it also occupy a very large share, with the integration of underground forces, the undead of Silro, the orcs of the Northland, and the elves of the Northland, it has naturally caused a change in the balance of power in the Lan Alliance, and the human kingdom is not the core of this alliance.

And what can keep this alliance alive is the Siluwei and Donglan principalities where the Lan clan is located, which are already vaguely regarded as the two countries of the new Lan country, and are the political core of the entire alliance.

The other five of the Seven Kingdoms of the Northland are also human kingdoms, which is a natural alliance, the Arashi defeated and conquered the Northland Orcs, the undead, the underground races, and the Northland Elves are inextricably linked with the Arashi, and under many factors, Renee and Grina have become the de facto leaders of the Lanmeng.

Non-interference in each other's internal affairs is the foundation of the alliance, and from the beginning of the alliance's establishment, "a relatively loose alliance, but in the face of great difficulties to warm up and tide over the difficulties together" is the positioning that the Lanmeng has given itself.

However, with the strengthening of ties and the entry of the whole world into a period of war, in order to prepare for war, in order to use the already small resources on the cutting edge, various resources and forces must be integrated, and once the integration begins, the independence of the countries within the alliance will naturally be greatly reduced.

This is why during the war, the roots of dictatorships are always easy to appear, and in order to deal with the threat of war, an efficient centralized organization is necessary, then, with the emergence of dictators, centralists, minorities will quickly lose their right to speak and protest.

Northland Winter Grain Reserve Dispatch Committee. This name directly points out its functionality, and it also sounds like a clear water yamen, but in fact, even the king of a country will maintain enough respect for the members of the committee.

Its main responsibility is to dispatch winter rations. Avoid large-scale famine and frost, because it can dispatch the food supply of the entire Northland countries, can redistribute the grain imported from other countries on the mainland within the Lan Alliance, and can selectively turn a certain country's rations into war reserves.

The headquarters of the Northland Defense Front is in charge of the construction of strategic defense, fortresses, and defense lines in the Northland, which means that it can coordinate the construction of defensive fortifications...... They have built forts in your house. Isn't it interference in internal affairs, and doesn't the kingship have no concerns?

But at the moment, this is necessary and recognized, after all, everyone knows that the war is imminent, and if it is still scattered, it is necessary for the Lan Alliance to exist.

Although Lanmeng has been developing as a whole in recent years, it has developed the fastest. Naturally, there is Dilfender and the Arashi Kingdom of the Magic Engineering Headquarters, when the two Arashi Kingdoms are united. The first human realm within the Lan Alliance has lived up to its name, and even the remaining five of the seven kingdoms of the Northland combined, are not comparable to these two countries.

And because of the strength of the Lan League in the Lan League, it is needless to say who the principals of these "working committees", "headquarters", and "headquarters" are, and with the preparation work one by one, the member countries of the entire Lan League are being integrated. The new Northern Lights Fleet, which has been built by bringing together the efforts of various countries, is the most obvious example.

It would probably take decades for the resources of a single country to come up with such super warships, but now, in just eight years, not only the first fleet has been formed. The armament, industry, and shipbuilding bases of various countries have also gone up, and as long as the resources can keep up, the second batch of fleets will probably be released soon.

In a sense, as the preparations for war progressed, rules were formulated, working committees held real power, the independence of the member states of the Lan League was rapidly decreasing, the king was demoted to a lord who had to obey the "orders of the superiors", and the lords were subject to the double restrictions of the Law Church and the Lan League institutions, and became more and more administrative and military officials.

Where there is light, there is darkness, power struggles or something, only where there are people, there will be meetings, and the Lan League, which is born from ideals, is no exception.

I won't mention the process, but if you play conspiracy, there are really few people who have played the dark elves, and now the entire dark elf society indirectly serves the land of Lan, and the final result is that the opponents have disappeared for various reasons.

Got a grievance? Of course, there are, but with the various dividends brought by the rise of the gods of Hades and the Lan Alliance, the abundance of materials, the improvement of national status, the increase in income, and the opportunity to work, at least most people have seen the situation clearly and are at ease to work on this super battleship.

"I don't care who is in charge, as long as my life is getting better and better, it's enough."

This is the idea of the vast majority of people, and in this regard, Lan Guo does what he promises.

Of course, not everyone is happy to see such a development, at least those "kings" and lords who are increasingly unable to grasp the situation have vaguely sat on the opposite side, the biggest difference between the Lan Alliance and other mechanisms is that the overseers of the Law Church will constantly review the actions of the nobles and the royal family, and the Lan Kingdom is a strong support of the church, which naturally makes those old-fashioned nobles who are used to the world and the earth bigger unacceptable.

And for some people, you move their rights as well as their lives.

The old-fashioned aristocracy is also a master of scheming, and they have a blood relationship and interest relationship with those countries in the center of the continent, if it were not for the swiftness of the dark shadows in the shadows, if it were not for the fact that those big powers were also afraid of the power of the Lan country, at least four or five alliances were on the verge of collapse, and as the Lan country's position in the internal war became more and more secure, the obvious decline of those who joined the king was almost an open secret.

And the iron triangle of Lan Guo, the undead of Xiluo, and the underground forces is the pillar of the Lan League, and the overwhelming strength makes all reactions and conspiracies come to naught.

The Lan forces have also repeatedly propagandized that these institutions to strengthen overall planning and resource allocation are only temporary, and they will all be revoked after the holy war, but this propaganda does not mean that the kings and lords who represent the old forces do not take it seriously, or the propagandists themselves are just talking.

"If you have the right to get it, will you let it go?"

Yes. After the holy war, I immediately found a place to retire, what do I want to do with those who don't, what fun does a rich man in the feudal era have, it is better to walk more to the world to see the scenery, but I am still telling the truth this time, but no one believes it as always.

Do those kings and lords who joined the Lanmeng regret it? I think I'm mostly sorry now. After all, many of the things that used to be free to do are now impossible to do, and those old-fashioned creatures of the Law Church are the real evil, but as the holy war progresses, the facts will prove that the original choice is correct, and their concepts will change.

But at this time, joining the Lan League meant giving up imperial power, which was extremely taboo in this era of feudal kingship.

"The Duchy of Thorne and the Kingdom of Philtias have applied to join the Lanmeng? When did it happen? What are they for? ”

Don't say I was stunned, the administrators who heard the news were dumbfounded. After all, it may be beneficial for the whole country and its people to join the Lan Alliance, but for such a decision to be made, it must be made by the Grand Dukes and Kings of the two countries, are they willing to give up their royal power and voluntarily accept the bondage?

The Duchy of Thorne and the Kingdom of Fertias are both in the south of the Seven Kingdoms of the Northlands in the past, and there is a small country in between, and the Duchy of Thorne can only be regarded as a small country. However, the kingdom of Philtias occupies the fertile Finn Plains and the Great River Chauvin, and its territory is quite extensive. The strength is not bad, and this application to join the Lanmeng is obviously a bit sudden.

"The application arrived three days ago, and was signed by Archduke Klein and His Majesty Vincent, and it contains the basic information of the two countries and the simple information on taxes, expenditures, and military, and the meaning of the executive branch. It is the sincerity of the two countries, and we must consider it carefully. ”

Renee numbly flipped through the information in front of me, her face full of bitterness but also seriousness, it seemed that she had just come back, and she wouldn't have to sleep tonight.

Regardless of whether the application of both countries is accepted. This is a major event related to the development of the Lanmeng in the past century, if accepted, not only will the area of the Lanmeng be directly increased by one-third, opening up the gap to the inland, but also harvesting a fertile grain production land, and if it is not accepted, at least enough reasons must be given.

I flipped through the map and looked at the large brown and blue patches on the map, comparing my memories of the past, which were probably more useful than the dull materials at this time.

The Duchy of Thorne, which has only been established for a hundred years and two generations, is a small country established in ruins, and there seem to be only a few city-states in the country, and there are no particularly famous specialties, so it should only be regarded as a vassal of the Kingdom of Philtias.

What ruins? The ruins of the Scourge of the Eternal Night...... Ahem, these two countries still have a little relationship with me, although in this way, there are many countries on the mainland that have a relationship with me.

There's no way, the Lan Kingdom was in the extreme north, and if you want to seek revenge on the Templar Church, you will definitely pass through these countries if you go south, probably because it was destroyed back then.

"Ha, I remember, Philtias and I have no enmity, the Legion of the Eternal Night passed by him back then."

"Well, it has a grudge against Cavins, it was crippled by the demon army back then, and even the king was killed, and the current royal family is migrated from the inland kingdom."

I'm speechless, what is this, did we offend all the countries around us back then?

"Speaking of facts, it's true, a demon legion invaded the south, an undead legion invaded the south, how many blood feuds? How do you think so many killers came about these days? You should be grateful that humans are short-lived, and that these lords and kings are purely political creatures who will not fight for the forgotten blood feud of their ancestors and you. If it is an immortal seed, even if the leader can not care about past grudges, the people will force him to fight with you. ”

The dead cat showed off the advantages of the immortal race in front of me, but I vomited in my heart, "Your elves are not obedient and obedient, it's more realistic to have a big fist this year", of course, I won't say it, after all, touching the dignity of the elf race or something, the dead cat is easy to jump, and I still need her protection.

"Also, the rise of the two Lan Kingdoms is equivalent to digging out two pieces of land out of nothing, in the past, it was not the Seven Kingdoms of the Northland, but the Nine Kingdoms of the Northland, what do you think happened in the middle? You can ask Renee how her ancestors were so strong. ”

Actually, I didn't take the past too seriously, the other side of the short-lived species, is to lament the unquenchable desire/desire derived from the shortness of life and pleasure, expanding the territory to become an emperor through the ages or something, probably the dream of many kings, and the final result is that the human aristocracy and the royal family are all bad debts, and there are many blood relations between them, and there are also a lot of brain-braining relationships.

Those past events, anyway, the ashes of the party's death are gone, and only when it is politically necessary will it be used as a reason for declaring war, such as "Your grandfather killed my uncle and robbed me of my ** milk, if you don't compensate me for the queen as my little wife, I will go to war with you" and the like, who cares about those old things on weekdays.

"Short-lived species, it is enough to live in the moment, and it is more exciting to live in the present."

Ignoring the dead cat with a face full of superiority, I focused on the information, and at least from the current intelligence, I would deny this application to join.

Yes, negation, not to allow the two countries to join, to make the Lan alliance stronger.

At least at the moment of the outbreak of the holy war, I just calculated a little, once the two countries joined, our defense border will be greatly increased, and we will lose a lot of natural dangers and fortress defenses, and the original iron bucket defense will naturally be flawed, and if we completely ignore the defense of the two countries...... From the beginning, the Lan Alliance was a military defense mutual assistance alliance, and once it gave up aiding the member countries, it would be equivalent to a double collapse of the alliance and people's hearts.

"Let's gather information first, at least to find out why they chose to join the Lanmeng."

I had a headache, touched my eyebrows, and then put down the scrolls, while the attendants kept bringing in all kinds of books and materials.

"History and culture, financial revenues, military intelligence, the movements of important domestic figures, and the real reasons for joining the Lanmeng...... The intelligence services seem to be exhausted, and by the way, they also have to consider the impact on the entire jihadist defense system once they join, and it seems that the strategic departments will also lose sleep, as well as diplomacy and administration, which is simply fatal. ”

I shook my head, a little distressed and a little sighed, thinking as I walked, I changed my thoughts....... I just walked to the door, but I found that the door had been blocked, and the attendants were full of smiles, but they refused to let go of the way.

"Don't think about slipping away! Don't miss work! Let's work overtime together to the death! ”

Behind it, Renee's deep resentful words, my escape plan was once again seen through (to be continued. )
