Chapter 703: Drastic Reform (3)

Somewhere, the Chamber of Secrets.

In this small room, there is a round table in the center, on which is placed a square metal plate, smooth and silvery, with fine lines on it to form a complex six-pointed star array.

When a pale blue ** stone was placed in the middle of the circle, the fine elemental light flowed along the magic lines to form a star-like river, until it converged at a certain corner of the six-pointed star, and there, a badge of the same size was placed.

Like a projector, the elemental light shines through the badge and gathers a changing light and shadow on the oncoming wall, accompanied by a somewhat noisy sound, revealing the scene of the banquet hall.

The initial picture was a little shaky, as if the camera was unstable, until the Third Prince Havana began his speech, and then it stabilized, and the noise around him gradually disappeared, and some distorted sounds became clearer and clearer.

Then, the speech of Havana, the question of the fat merchant, and the facial movements of everyone around him, all the scenes were clear, changing on the walls over time, and also reflected in the eyes of the master of the secret room.

Finally, when the camera began to shake again, the speech ended, but in the secret room, on the opposite side of the light and shadow, a hand reached out in the darkness.

This hand is fair, slender, elegant, but thick and thick, with an inexplicable sense of strength, and a huge ruby diamond ring on its index finger, but it is very strange that it does not give people the slightest nouveau riche feeling, but looks extremely harmonious.

That is, this hand taps on the metal plate, and the picture on the wall begins to change, like a cycle, back to the starting point, and the speech begins again.

It was the second pass, but not the last, and as time went on, when the second pass was done, the finger tapped again, and then there was a third pass, and then a fourth, and then a fifth......

It wasn't until the finger was about to tap for the seventh time that a voice rang out in the room.

"Enough, don't waste everyone's time, can you tell me what you think?"

The voice was thick, domineering, and a little impatient, but it also succeeded in stopping the white palm, and after a slight pause, the palm was withdrawn, and a young voice laughed and said:

"Opinion? I think, the fat man is so fake, the more I look at it, the more fake it becomes, and I don't know where the third brother found the best, the acting skills are really, uh, okay, don't insult the word 'acting'. ”

"You've watched it so many times, and you're staring at this? The fat man was obviously discovered, and the third child didn't want to hide it!" The domineering voice was obviously angry, but he didn't have a seizure after all, but suppressed his anger and said:

"The third child is going to make trouble, I didn't expect him to come out and fight us for that position, but why can't I understand what he wants to do?"

"Hehe, I didn't see him go to his father on an errand, and I didn't see him go to get the support of some lords, so he just gave speeches one after another? Well, this is the ninth game, right? He doesn't think that just by expressing some opinions, he can get everyone's approval? naΓ―ve!"

"Innocent, hehe, big brother, so you discovered the third brother's advanced transcendence in advance?"

"You mean, you found out?"

"I didn't find it either, I believe the eighth didn't find it either, we didn't find it. But don't you think it's a little scary for a prince who doesn't know when he advanced to the extraordinary and hides it from the present? Naive? Do you think naivety can really be used to describe him?"

"Then you say, what does the third child want to do? Just give a speech, I let him play freely for a hundred years, there is no transfer of interests, there is no marriage between each other, do you think he can get the support of even one real power lord?"

"This, this ......"

The two voices kept squeezing back and forth in the room, and it was clear that the owners of the voices were at odds with each other and had different opinions, but their quarrel was finally broken by a third voice: "I smell danger, everyone knows the situation in the Empire, objectively speaking, what he says is the truth." ”

"I could feel the danger of that thought, what he must have been through during this time. I'm sure my father knew that, but he didn't do anything after all, which is a bad sign, especially at this critical time. ”

"I don't know what the third brother wants to do, but I think it's better not to have a fourth participant in the battle for the throne. ”

As he spoke, a man peeked out of the shadows, and through the dim fluorescence, he could faintly see a large man with a beard, and he reached out and pressed on the metal plate, and the light and shadow on the wall were extinguished.

The room grew darker and darker, and I saw a pair of cold eyes flickering.

"So, I think we're going to work together to get him out first. ”

After a long time, a voice responded: "Agreed!"

"I agree!"

......

Ilmassu City, Rose Castle, inside the Council Chamber.

Mu En took off his glasses and wiped them with a piece of silk cloth, the dark lenses did not transmit light, but they also covered his closed eyes, and made him look less weird.

Well, it's weird, although blind eyes don't affect his vision and perception, but for others, being stared at with a pair of closed eyes always feels weird.

This is Aya's reminder to him, and then Mu En referred to the glasses on the earth, and sent someone to make a pair, although it is more eye-catching after wearing it, it seems to be able to restrain some of its own coercion.

Opposite Muen, Brad and Eliad were sitting precariously, each holding a scroll in their hands, reading carefully, their brows both constricted, as if there was something difficult to solve.

Obviously, neither of them read very quickly, or rather, they read the information in the scroll very carefully, word by word, for fear of missing something, and as time passed, when Brad finished reading and rolled up the scroll, Eliad still did not look up.

Mu En did not urge, but waited patiently, he watched the other party finish it little by little, and then fell back to the front, choosing to read it again, and after repeating it, he put away the scroll with a solemn face.

At this time, Mu En put on his glasses, looked up, and said, "How do you feel after reading it?"

When the words fell, Brad and Eliad couldn't help but glance at each other, strictly speaking, they were not familiar with each other, and they couldn't talk about friendship, especially if they were both commanders of the army, one represented the Glory Legion, and the other represented the old forces of the Rose Leader, and there were some other meanings.

But at this moment, the two of them had a rare heart, and they seemed to be able to feel the surprise and complexity in each other's eyes.

The room was inexplicably quiet, neither of them answered, Mu En was not different, he simply said: "Your Majesty Eliad, you still say it first, right?"

Eliad grinned, the scars on his face twisted and writhed, looking extremely hideous, of course, if anyone who knew him well, he was smiling bitterly. Of course, it was not his turn to refuse at this time, and he muttered for a long time before he organized his words:

"With the continuous deepening of the demon tide, in the near future, there will inevitably be a significant increase in personal combat power, and the number and strength of the strong will also make great progress. At this time, if too much attention is paid to the construction of ordinary regiments, or if the old concept of winning by quantity is obviously unrealistic.

The future trend of warfare will inevitably become elitist, legional, and specific, and even with the emergence of elemental users, elemental strikes, long-range coverage, and high-speed raids have become inevitable.

It is conceivable that a legion of heavily armed second-order professionals, supplemented by various magical tools, also charges on the battlefield, almost indestructible, unbreakable, even the simplest decapitation tactics can eat the whole world. ”

"According to the plan, the Rose Lord's legions will be divided into two distinct classes, with the inferior guardian legions having the numerical advantage, but the quality of personnel is uneven, mainly for the order and defense of the city.

After all, with such a large territory and so many people here, there are not enough legions to effectively manage and defend them. ”

"At the same time, the Guardian Legion is also a process of screening and training, and only the strongest ones are selected from the middle to enter the High War Legion. ”

"The strength of the lowest rank of the pinnacle, ruled by the aura of a legion knight, blessed by the belief of immortality, supplemented by the strongest armor, the sharpest weapons, the best supplies, the most perfect welfare, the most brutal training, and even the full use of magic tools.

Just by imagining, I can feel how terrifying this kind of legion will be on the battlefield in the future, or rather, if you want to cross the continent in the future, there must be such a terrifying legion. ”

"Of course, there are some things that I still can't understand, such as this independent air force, to be honest, the sky has always been a battlefield under the transcendent crown, and in the face of the transcendent, I don't feel that the legion composed of these iron eagles has any effect. ”

"However, on the whole, this plan of yours, Grand Duke, is almost closely related to the trend and direction of the future war, and its long-term vision and precise grasp are simply breathtaking. ”

"But ......"

Speaking of this, Eliade stopped speaking and raised his eyes to look at Mu En on the other side, and Mu En's face showed an expression of 'sure enough'.

First boasted that there were few in heaven and nothing on earth, and then, a divine turn came......

Routines, all routines!

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

"Ahem, although the plan is good, it is not easy to implement it. After another pause, Eliad said almost word for word: "The resistance is very great, and it can even be said to be shaking the foundation of your rule." ”

"......" Mu En silently:

What is the foundation of a kingdom's rule in Atlanta?

It is a system of aristocratic feudalism, in which the upper nobles distribute the land and population to the lower nobles, and obtain the allegiance of the lower nobles, so to speak, this strict hierarchy maintains the most basic operation mode of the Atlantic continent.

Muen's military reform is equivalent to bringing together the most elite professionals under his own hands, the strong are strong after all, and Muen must also give enough benefits to stabilize these strong people, to put it bluntly, they will all be emerging nobles in the future, with land, population and castles.

Where did these come from? In addition to the expansion accident, it was only taken from the old aristocracy.

At the same time, this reform is also a kind of centralized advancement. The cake of power is only so big, and it is all in Mu En's hands, which is equivalent to the reduction of the interests of the nobility.

Don't look at Mu En's current prestige in the Rose Collar, but it is undeniable that nine out of ten people from the nobility, whether it is the army, the government system, or the tax collectors.

In other words, if they pick a child, the rose collar will be paralyzed immediately.
