Chapter Ninety-Nine, The Joy of the Molai People
The Duke of Cyrus's palace in Port Molai has been jubilant during this time.
Ever since General Brev Sellers stepped into the legendary level, the Sellers family has exhaled and raised their eyebrows, not to mention being energetic at home, holding their heads up and confident even when they go out.
Previously, because of their position, although the old Duke Sellers and his son led the army to win the battle of the Iron Lock Fortress, and defended Molai in the face of hundreds of thousands of troops led by the Mountain Legion, which can be called the savior of the Federation, they are still a little weak politically - engaging in politics is not a war, and they can not fight as much money as they are. What's more, it's one thing to fight a war, it's another thing to make money and fight in politics, and the Sellers family has always been bad at these things.
In the case that the struggle between the two factions of the Federation is almost completely torn apart, the Sellers family is also powerless, and the Duke's Palace has always maintained low pressure.
But all the problems have disappeared because General Brev stepped into the legend!
In the face of the Federation's only legendary powerhouse, whether it is the powerful "Gordon-Norton Alliance" or the influential "Irma Alliance", they have to bow their heads.
The legendary powerhouse is not only a powerful deterrent by force, but also a banner that attracts people's hearts. For a long time, the Molai Federation has not had its own legendary powerhouse, although there is an element of luck, but the more important reason is the threat of the Pirate King - in the face of the powerful red-bearded Barbarossa, none of the legendary powerhouses who may be invited by money and status dare to come out and face him head-on.
In the Western Continent, there are generally three sources of legendary powerhouses. The most common and stable ones are naturally the priests, because they are determined to cultivate hard, and they can summon divine power, and the chances of stepping into the legend are much higher than ordinary people. However, there is a natural contradiction between the clergy and the noble lords - with the exception of a few exceptions such as the Church of the God of War, the vast majority of the clergy are on the side of the people, opposing the exploitation and oppression of the lords. If everyone doesn't fight, even if it's thankful, where can you expect to hire and buy them?
The second source of legendary powerhouses is the creatures of those powerful races, such as dragons, high elves, mermaid royals, golden dwarves, etc., they are extremely talented, not only talented, but also have a long lifespan, and it is relatively easy to step into the legend. But their numbers are scarce, and many of them are unwilling to enter the world, much less than the clergy.
Most of the legendary powerhouses of this kind have their own ethnicity and their own fixed territory, and there is no way to buy them. Or like the relationship between the Leighton Kingdom and the Dragon Lord and the Dwarf King, everyone is a good neighbor and has cooperated for a long time. Either they can only do the Drake family's purchase of the green dragon Kamala III, and every time they ask the other party to help, it is a separate cooperation, and it is impossible to form a stable employment relationship at all.
There are no legendary races living in the territory of the Molai Federation - there may be, but they obviously don't want to be seen in front of people, so it's like nothing. I want to invite one or two people who are willing to help, but I can't stabilize it.
As for the last category of legendary powerhouses, those who are born among mortals, they generally have their own families and have descendants. Although they are strong enough, they can't help but think about the safety of their grandson - Jayne Van Russell of the "Earth Ranger" failed to hunt down the pirate king Barbarossa, and his descendants have been attacked by Barbarossa more than once afterwards. In the end, in desperation, he could only migrate his family to the "Narwhal Cape" in the easternmost part of the Western Continent, and took refuge in the legendary powerhouse "Gatekeeper" Jin Yan Zhang, who never went out.
Barbarossa was so powerful and ruthless that almost no one wanted to provoke him unless it was a last resort. Therefore, there has been no progress in the recruitment of legendary powerhouses by the Molai Federation, which really gives all the Molai people some insight a headache.
Fortunately, this situation is finally over now! Mo Lai also has his own legendary powerhouse!
As a member of the Sellers family, General Brev is himself the highest level of Molai, and it is absolutely impossible for him to betray Molai. And with his status, he will not encroach on too much power of others, which is far more acceptable to the upper echelons of Molai than a legendary powerhouse out of thin air.
Not only that, Molai's high-level has been suffering from the lack of high-end military force for many years, and with the breakthrough of General Brev, whether it is the old and strong "giant ship" Duke Irma, or the thoughtful "food" Duke Norton, they are all overjoyed and have expressed their welcome. Duke "Golden" Gordon, although he reacted a little later, also welcomed and strongly supported it - he even suggested that a separate seat should be prepared for Mr. Brev at the "Duke's Conference", the highest authority in Mora.
The proposal was rejected by Duke Sellers, who said that Brev was his younger brother and was originally one of the leaders of the Sellers family. His attitude is his own attitude, and his decision is his own decision. So it's better to skip that chair and just give the Sellers family an extra vote in the final vote.
When Duke Sellers said this, he quickly fell silent. Duke Gordon, who had spoken very well before, pretended to be deaf and dumb, and several other dukes also adopted a silent attitude.
In this regard, Duke Sellers was not angry at all, but had the intention of watching the joke.
"These people still haven't recognized the reality yet!" he said with a smile when the whole family was having dinner, "Now that the old men are here, they can still fill the scene with their age, and in a few decades, our generation will all die of old age, and those dukes of the younger generation or even two generations, how can they hold their heads up in front of Brev?
Brev touched his cheek and smiled a little shyly.
He did not dismiss his brother's claims, and his views on the future of the Federation were similar to those of his brother.
"It's just that the old men are reluctant to save face. The old duke did not mean to sneer, "There is no need to worry about them, they will always understand." Anyway, Brev, you're only young, and you're still a thousand years away. Time is the greatest force in the world, and it will educate them for you. ”
Brev nodded repeatedly, and the whole family laughed heartily.
After a few hours, the people of the Sellers family couldn't laugh, and the entire Molai Federation couldn't laugh.
After dinner, on the way back to his mansion, the new legendary powerhouse of the Molai Federation, "Thunder Knight" Sellers, was attacked by an unidentified figure, and his subordinates were killed and wounded, and he himself disappeared and was not heard from!
