Chapter 191: Condos's Thoughts
The roads of Nanshan are bumpy, with its peaks and rocks, and any army that arrives here will endure great resistance to marching.
In the course of the empire's conquest of the Blagos Kingdom thousands of years ago, various tactics were used to force the army of the Blagos Kingdom to fight a decisive battle in a slightly flat area.
But the two armies that are now marching in the South Mountain, whether they are the vanguard army of the Five Kingdoms or the Demon Vine Armor Army of the Jade Empire, can be said to be galloping in the mountains.
In particular, the Demon Vine Armor Army, through the blessing of the aura of the race and the legion, can be called like walking on the ground.
......
Condos had never felt this way before, he had been in the province of Blago, for many years, and he had followed his brother-in-law to the province of Blago, since the Governor of Chels appeared in the province of Blago.
After so many years, Condos really dared to say that in the entire empire, even those experts in the imperial capital who studied the province of Blago could not know more than himself.
It is precisely because of his knowledge that Condos is not optimistic about the future of the empire in the province of Blago.
The center of the empire itself, His Majesty the Emperor's Imperial Council did not pay attention to the southern provinces, and the contempt for the southern provinces in the entire court has reached a very serious level.
Because in the eyes of the bigwigs in the court, there are very few useful resources in Nanshan, and the really useful things are not something that these small kingdoms can have, they are all in the hands of that legendary Inhuman Empire.
But the Inhuman Empire is thousands of miles away from the Emerald Empire, and even the valiant Imperial soldiers cannot cross such a long distance to attack the distant Inhuman Empire.
This kind of great resistance even His Majesty the Emperor could not advance the strategy for the South, and even if he could see the importance of the South for the future of the Empire, all he could do was to get Zaga to come here with a small number of resources.
Condos had spent countless times in the middle of the night deducing the future, all in despair.
If there is no big opportunity, there may never be a big change in the province of Blago.
The Empire's sending two regular legions here as garrison legions was already a last resort that could be done.
It is absolutely impossible to let the Emerald Capital send troops here again, it is okay to send auxiliary legions, and even as many slave soldiers as you want, but those soldiers are not useful at all, and even send experience to the armies of the five kingdoms to help each other practice.
Condos is the brother-in-law of the Governor of Chels and one of the confidants of the Governor of Chels, and this relationship makes the two of them almost one prosperous and one loser.
Governor Chels came to Blago Province, naturally because of the consideration of His Majesty the Emperor, but when he came here without complaint, he must have committed something when he came to this wild place.
His Majesty the Emperor may have valued the talent of the Governor of Chels, or perhaps he had some affection with the Governor of Chels, and sent the Governor of Chels to a slightly embarrassing place on the southern border.
High and powerful but miserable!
If the Governor of Chels wanted to return to the imperial capital and fulfill his wish to become a professor at the Academy of St. Trajan, he had to make outstanding achievements in the province of Blago.
It wasn't enough to defend the empire, and Condos knew that the only way was to win a great victory in the war against the Five Kingdoms.
It would be nice if one or two kingdoms could be wiped out with the resources of the province of Blago.
Now!
Condos finally saw this opportunity, this opportunity to return to the imperial capital.
The arrival of Saga has given the entire province of Blago a new look!
Although he arrived alone, he brought with him a large number of personal resources, the most precious of which was the training methods of the two high-level legions.
The training methods of these two high-ranking legions have not only brought about an increase in combat power, but also a transformation of the identity of the freedmen throughout the province of Blago.
How could he not have seen with Condos' knowledge that the first mass citizens of the Empire would appear among the Blago people!
The Grand Men of the Imperial Council will not allow the two High Legions to be in the hands of the Free Folks, except for vassal states and the armies of their allies, and all other High Legions must be served by citizens of the Great Empire.
Condos expected that once the war ended victoriously, there would be nearly 20,000 Imperial citizens among the Blagos.
This is certainly a tiny number for the number of Blago people in the entire South Mountains, but it is a huge improvement.
You know, in the entire empire, the Blago people have no group of citizens of their own!
The Blago people have been part of the Empire for a long, long time, but all of them are freedmen, except for a few powerful people who were granted citizenship when the Empire was first founded.
Imperial citizenship is an extremely rare resource, and it does not mean that His Majesty the Emperor can wave his pen and the dignitaries of the Imperial Council agree to it.
The world of Lablar is a world of extraordinary abilities, where there are many parts of idealism, and the will of approval is a very important thing.
Wanting to be a citizen of the Empire requires recognition in many ways, especially the Pantheon and the Senate, which in some ways represent the will of the citizens of the entire Empire.
Once the province of Blago has its own citizens, the war potential of the entire province of Blago will be completely different, and many of the resources of the empire will be called up because of the presence of the citizens of the empire.
In particular, the children of the citizens of the province of Blago will all be sent to the central provinces of the empire to become the adopted sons of other citizens of the empire, and then sent back to the province of Blago after receiving civic education from the empire.
Their parents will fight for their future on the frontiers, and these little children will be educated in the Central Provinces to be loyal to the Empire, an education that is completely irresistible from a young age, and they will completely lose the spiritual core of the Blago people and identify themselves as citizens of the Empire!
This kind of education was usually practiced by invaders in occupied territories, but the Emerald Empire used them among the newly formed citizen tribes.
This is a policy from the period of the Five Sages Emperor, and the existence of this policy reinforces the significance of the citizens of the Emerald Empire as a whole.
The Emerald Citizen has become an existence that is above race and ethnicity.
The ruling class of the Emerald Empire has been completely consolidated, and no one in this world can overthrow the class barrier constructed by the five million citizens of the Empire.
