Chapter 616: The Environment Needed for Betrayal
The princes and ministers of Lordaeron are not only enemies like the Scourge Legion, but also all kinds of competitors.
From Stormgard to Falken, the neighboring country with Arathi, the origin of the human kingdom, as the core, in more than a decade, has gone from a thug who had to rely on the Lordaeron Kingdom to make a living to an upstart with business all over the world.
It's really jealous. The efficiency of national development is unprecedented.
As a result, it turned out that people not only developed rapidly, but also did not forget their profession, and fought more than in the past.
With such a strong neighbor on the side, it is already full of pressure. Over the years, the various territories have gradually given birth to the saying that Falken has made a fortune. Especially young people, there are not a few people who sneak around for this.
Such a loss of population naturally made the lords of all sizes very frightened. No one, that's still an egg!
The lords even held several meetings to discuss the solution, and the reckless one went to the kingdom of Falken to ask for a judgment from Zhao Garin Torbain.
This kind of person will naturally not see Kane, and there are special reception staff who are not soft or hard to use words, and then make a few moves, and they are often dismissed.
The lords gradually discovered that Prince Garin deserved to be the spokesman of the god of wealth, and even the tricks under his command were golden ideas, and some lords solved the problem and made a fortune.
As a result, not only the young people of the territory ran towards Falken, but also the lords began to run there.
It is said that it is to ask for ideas and study and study, but maybe it is really good over there, and I don't want to come back after I go.
What a terrible situation it is to be a freeman over there rather than a lord here.
If this phenomenon is relatively rare after all, then it has become a trend among nobles in various countries, including the Kingdom of Lundan, for lords to send their children other than heirs to study in Falken.
In general, people are profit-oriented, and there is no parent who does not want their children to be excellent. Going to Falken to study is much more developed than sending him to the Illuminati to study as a priest.
Moreover, even if you really fancy the influence and future of the increasingly powerful Holy Light Faith, you should go to the Holy Temple, not the Church of Light. Now who doesn't know that whether it is hard power or teaching level, the temple of God is the best?
In the eyes of the nobles of various countries, the Falken Kingdom is like a strange flower that is ready to bloom and is already gorgeous, and the beauty after blooming in the future can only be looked up to.
As the ruling class of the old powerhouse Lordaeron, these great nobles felt the pressure from all sides.
If the country is safe and secure, then there will be at least ten or eight years for them. Whether they were trying to adjust or passively enduring, with this buffer, they believed that they would be able to accept the fact that Falken would become the new leader of the nations, and that they would be able to determine their new position.
But the house leak happened to rain overnight, and natural disasters invaded.
The toss has intensified until now.
These aristocrats could clearly feel the decay of the country and the withering of the economy.
Many people are no longer interested in defending their country, and are wondering if they can flee to a neighboring country and become their legal citizens.
After all, many of those who were attracted to work by the favorable conditions of Falken's recruitment applied to become citizens of the Falken Kingdom after paying a sum of money to the lord of their hometown.
In the past, a scoundrel could buy five hundred gold coins for a rogue ruffian, and his lord would wake up laughing even if he was sleeping. But now, most of the lords don't think it's a good taste, and some even play the emotional card to retain these people who have gone to work in Falken, and the promised remuneration is also very rich.
What's more, there have been several cases of the daughter of the lord's family marrying after falling in love with the worker.
What does this mean?
Is love blind?
No, it means that if the kingdom of Falken is a furnace, then even the scrap steel of the ruffians and the like has a chance to be smelted into good wood.
How many people are thinking: Even a scumbag like so-and-so can be mixed up like a dog when he goes to Falken, wouldn't it be better if I went?
As a result, there are many people in various countries who have good impressions and fantasies about the Falken Kingdom.
Especially the kingdom of Lordaeron.
At that time, Terenus thought it was really good, his negative assets were cleaned up, and he could get the money back to make the people richer, a good thing.
Indeed, after an interval of two years, many people have returned home.
As the saying goes, if you have money, you will be a man, and these people do bring wealth back. Most of them are not as jerks as before, including receiving people and things, etc., have obviously made great progress, giving people the feeling of 'having been to a big place, it's just different'.
However, few of the migrant workers stayed in their hometowns to develop, but went to Falken again, and even encouraged their relatives and friends to go.
Only then did the rulers discover that Falken had stolen people's hearts with his economic vitality. When a person lives and works in a different place all the year round, how much is his value to his hometown?
Therefore, regarding the rise of the Falken Kingdom, the feelings of the magnates of the ruling layer of the kingdom such as Terenus are very complicated. This is not diluted by the help of the Falken Kingdom on several occasions.
On the contrary, the more powerful the Falken Kingdom became, the more unpleasant and even hostile they became.
This is the reason behind the news of Uther's great victory, and the owner on the spot was speechless and no one celebrated.
Even, according to the analysis of the past history, betrayal and murder are also acts that breed in this context.
Many people are filled with righteous indignation when they talk about this kind of concept, how can there be such a pig and dog, grace will be revenge, treachery, how can people become like this?
A little bit of change, a little bit of force.
It's not a great favor, but it also has a bit of a common taste.
As the saying goes, things gather by like, and people are grouped. The gap is too big, one party will look down, one side will look up, and they all feel awkward, and once they pretend to be mindful in their hearts, then the unintentional actions have become show-offs, and the unintentional words have become sarcasm. It's better to get together and disperse, and find a level to play, it's better than even the face friendship being torn off in the end.
But the problem now is that the old rich of Lordaeron can't get around the upstarts of Falken, and they don't look up to see each other. That's uncomfortable.
Tyrenus: They don't know if Tolbanes and sons are uncomfortable, but they are really uncomfortable anyway.
They are also the best among people, they have been brilliant, arrogant, and confident, but they are far worse than others, which is really very unpleasant.
And what's even more unpleasant is that others are taking off too much, and they are memorizing words, seeing that the gap is getting bigger and bigger, and even catching up has become impossible.
So, is there anything more hurtful and unpleasant than this?
Yes, even now, Terenus knew in their hearts that if the Lordaeron Kingdom wanted to pass the test smoothly this time, it would not be possible to obtain the dependence of the Falken Kingdom, or more precisely, the Solas father and son.
Arrogance, and even dignity, were thrown into the mud and trampled by their own hands.
That's why it's said that this is the soil that breeds betrayal such as revenge.
Simply Terenus sanity still prevailed, and besides, he could see hope, or rather, a willingness to believe that tomorrow would be better. So he didn't go astray.
I have to say that in this regard, the support of the Falken Kingdom as always, is also very important.
Let's say Kane is now using his own defense as a reason to draw a ladder in the air.
Originally, he withdrew from the alliance, but because of Kane, the Quel'Thalas elves who were reserved to participate in more and more coalition activities will definitely flash people.
As soon as the elves withdraw, the Alliance's main cast support force, as well as cannon fodder (a large number of metal golems), were gone. The mages of Dalaran will surely have different hearts as well.
Don't think that those people are highly educated, knowledgeable, and good people who put morality first.
How do you say that sentence: I didn't slaughter many dogs in righteousness, and I was a common reader.
The dog slaughterer refers to the temperament of the person, the emotion, the righteousness.
Scholars are too resourceful and less decisive, or they see things too thoroughly and are unwilling to take big risks, let alone fill in with their lives.
The mages of Dalaran came to sniff out some of the collaborative projects between the Kingdom of Falken and the Elves of Quel'Thalas.
Not only the coalition forces in the Daron region, but Kane's Shadow Fang Fortress in the Silverpine Forest, Mage Dalaran, and even the Quel'Thalas Elves, didn't they take the initiative to join in?
In turn, Lordaeron has been fighting for more than a year, and the battlefield is Lordaeron, the granary of its own country, and other regions have also been affected to a greater or lesser extent, with an economic downturn, and even high debts, which are all there. What kind of hospitality will you take to entertain the Dharma Master of Dalaran, let alone attract it.
To be more specific, without the logistics of the Falken Kingdom Engineer Corps, it is estimated that people will not be able to last a few days if they can gnaw on rye bread that can kill people, not to mention the Dharma Master of Dalaran, even the officers and soldiers of their own country. It's not for nothing that it's hard to go from luxury to frugality.
So someone said: "The war of the Lordaeron Kingdom is now supported by the Falken Kingdom." ”
Even if they rushed to this point, they withdrew the Knights Templar, and Tyrenus had nothing to say.
Who doesn't know that the core of the Falken Kingdom is industry, which drives agriculture, fertilizers, agricultural machinery, transportation, etc., so that agriculture can take off, and then there is a large amount of grain for animal husbandry.
In addition, the processing of agricultural and animal husbandry products is also inseparable from industrial equipment, and it can be said that the markets of various countries can have abundant daily necessities, which are basically supported by the industrial operation of the Falken Kingdom.
Protecting this system is tantamount to protecting the lifeblood and foundation of the alliance. This is by no means an exaggeration.
If Kane used this as an excuse to evacuate people and things, it would really be a ladder in the air for the kingdom of Lordaeron.
If the natural disaster takes advantage of the illness to die, the magnates of Lordaeron are desperate, and the probability of being bewitched by the Dread Demon King can be imagined.
Kane actually knew early on that the vested interests could do anything bad for themselves, so after the natural disaster to the south, he sent the volunteers to make a detour to the north.
This kind of behavior that is clearly to protect the flank of the Lordaeron Kingdom, but in fact, he is specialized and even suspicious of taking advantage of the situation, which will certainly be criticized by some people, and even his reputation will be damaged. Accused by some of coveting the territory of other countries, eating the Hillsbrad Hills and wanting to swallow the silver pine forest.
But on the other hand, it has given hope and confidence to the people of Lordaeron.
The strong army is on the side, and the general trend is on me. It's still pressed, and you can still play......
With such thoughts, the magnates of Lordaeron would not betray easily. After all, there aren't many people who don't let people go and don't do it, instead of having to be dogs.
