Hearing that Wren had caught a titled alchemist, a large group of nobles' eyes turned red, Bowen's tone was sour, and he even promised a favor, hoping to borrow this alchemist if needed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This count is still like this, and the envy and jealousy of the other minor nobles can be imagined. But fortunately, they were fortunate enough to participate in this successful crackdown, and they were able to share some benefits from it, and they didn't show it too much.
The Balatan revolt was suppressed, and although the wind had subsided and the waves had gone, the undercurrent still raged beneath the calm surface. The Orlando Empire was founded for three hundred years, which is not a short time, compared to those empires that died in the second and third generations, the Orlando family is powerful enough.
This is also a very normal phenomenon in the feudal slave society, and the feudal system has caused a loss of power, and once there is a fundamental conflict between the interests of the local and the central government, it will immediately shake the rule of the royal family. Beginning with Orlando V, the Emperor tried his best to reclaim the power of the feudals, but this behavior also exacerbated the conflict between the royal family and the vested interests of the Empire.
During the reign of Orlando V, there were many civil wars, and a group of doomed nobles took the risk of overthrowing the rule of the golden nobles in order to continue the fire of the family's inheritance. Of course, the result was that they hit their heads headlong and broke their heads, but for this reason the empire reactivated a group of valiant warriors who fought for the country, and canonized them as new nobles. It's like a reincarnation, eliminating the shortcomings left over from the previous reincarnation, but thus opening the way for a new reincarnation.
On the road of royal centralization, in order to avoid being crushed by the royal family and the golden nobles, the nobles united and formed a group of interests, that is, the aristocratic group. They formed tight-knit, well-organized organizations either based on geography or because of their interests to counter the growing power of the center.
The Balatan rebellion did seem to have caused some problems and was successfully suppressed, but it also planted the seeds of restlessness in the hearts of the aristocracy.
Think about it, what if the nobles of Rennes and Bell hadn't intervened, if they were too preoccupied with the rebellion within their province and had no more energy to care about other people's affairs? What if this group of Self-Help Society members had more powerful support, and a leader who was politically astute and militarily savvy? What would have become of this rebellion?
If you think about it carefully, the more you think about it, the more terrifying it becomes, which is what people say is extremely scary when you think about it.
The royal family is far from being as powerful as people think, and the ruling power of the royal family cannot firmly suppress the aristocratic group below.
Yes, in order to maintain and continue the stable situation, the royal family canonized a number of "royal faction" city lords and governors to suppress the localities. But what if one day, these people also stand with the local faction because of something irresistible?
Therefore, the wind and waves have never passed, and they are still raging in places that people can't see.
It took more than ten days for the reward from the imperial capital to finally reach Balatan, and the food brought from the surrounding area temporarily alleviated the problems caused by the famine in Balatan, but it was only alleviated.
Wren was able to successfully suppress the rebellion for the Empire, and his knighthood was slightly upgraded by one notch, from baron to viscount. The level of the title actually has no meaning to the golden nobles, and the hereditary form of succession makes the patriarch of the golden nobles even if it is just a small baron, just like Wren before, and will not be despised by other nobles because of this.
In addition, there are some compliments and praises, highly praising Viscount Rennes's excellent character of understanding the overall situation, and hoping that Viscount Rennes can make more contributions to the empire locally.
There is a basket of, and there is no benefit. Perhaps Pars also knew that Wren had eaten enough this time, so he didn't give him any other benefits. The other nobles who participated in this suppression each received a reward. From the expansion of the territory to the promotion of the title, it can be said that everyone is happy, and the happy ending draws a perfect end to the Balatan incident.
When he went out, he only brought 2,000 people, but when he came back, there were more than 10,000 people, and the dense procession crossing the border brought a lot of pressure to the major city lords and lords. This is not a peaceful and stable world in the prosperous era, wars between nobles often break out with the connivance of the royal family, what if Wren also suddenly plays a hand? As for going into the city...... Forget it.
That didn't change until Wren passed by Veneer.
Angelo looked at the mighty crowd with joy, as well as the black-armored soldiers who had experienced the battle and blood, there was jealousy in his eyes, he hid the emotions in his heart very well, and showed great enthusiasm, "Wren...... Viscount, I almost forgot, congratulations, sir, that your acts of valor and justice spread even in places like Veneil. ”
Wren smiled and hugged him, and he quipped, "It's not about bravery and justice, are they?" they must say, oh my God, that demon butcher is coming." ”
The embarrassment on Angelo's face flashed, "How come?"
How could it not?
Ordinary people, the common class did not know the specific things of Balatan, and the people were intentionally or unintentionally pushed by some external forces, many people knew very little about the real specific situation of Balatan, only knew that the working class of that city was overwhelmed by the oppression and exploitation of merchants and aristocrats, and rebelled and killed the merchants and aristocrats, and more than 100,000 or 200,000 workers in the entire Balatan were involved in this matter. They also repelled the local nobles, and began to spread to the surrounding realms, terrifying to think about. But such a terrifying group of people was exterminated by Viscount Wren from the countryside of Ortlenburg.
People don't really praise Wren for doing a good job, because the people who are being suppressed are of the same class as them, and what they see and hear is artistically processed. Even if Wren stands on the commanding heights morally, ordinary people will not have a good impression of him because of this. Hatred of the rich is a general term, which can be interpreted to mean that as long as you are "richer" than yourself, rich in wealth, status, and political value, you are the target of hatred.
The most common word in the mouths of Wren, who bloodily suppressed the Balatan uprising, was butcher, even though Wren did not kill anyone with his own hands in this battle.
Angelo was obviously well aware of this, and the entire province of Bell was talking about Wren, and he was like the Black Death virus that had spread across the continent, making people deeply afraid.
There are certainly some disadvantages brought about by the Balatan incident, but there are also many benefits, at least in Bell Province, there are not many people who dare to offend Rennes, as long as you think about the great achievements he has made today, at the age of nineteen, he must be more rational to solve the contradiction through other means.
"Let's go ahead of the city!", Angelo was polite, welcoming, a little unusual, "I've made enough room to welcome the heroes of the province of Bell, drinks, meat, women, you name it. ”
Wren didn't go into the city with Angelo as expected, but stopped and said, apologetically, "I'm sorry, Angelo, my friend. It's been so long since I've been away from Ortrenburg, my heart is flying back to Ortrenburg now, and I have to go back first. I will definitely come here again if I have the chance. ”
How is this different from the plot in the script?
Angelo quickly came to his senses, he didn't know what was wrong, Wren was reluctant to enter the city, and he couldn't force Wren to go in. He pondered for a moment, "It's okay, I took the liberty. If you have time next time, be sure to come to Venenier and I will welcome you with the biggest banquet ever. ”
After a pause at this point, Angelo hesitated and said, "I heard that a caravan from the Chamber of Commerce of the Province of Bell was looted near the border with Venier......"
Wren interrupted him, smiling, "My friend, it's not your fault, we're friends, aren't we? ”
Angelo was speechless for a while, and when he talked about it, he was a little ignorant of current affairs and didn't know how to raise it. He wisely closed his mouth and smiled the same, "Thank you for your understanding, I still apologize to you for that." ”
"Well, I accept your apologies. ”
Two people are as good as wearing a pair of pants, but in fact they have their own thoughts. Angelo hopes to use the power of Wren to help him sweep away Sean's forces in one go, and at the same time put an end to the unhappiness that happened before. As for Wren, he doesn't plan to do anything to Sean now, and instead of trying to settle the matter as Angelo, the mastermind behind the scenes, hopes that Sean can jump out and overthrow Angelo's rule.
Ortlenburg is so small, how can it fit a golden nobleman?
The whole province of Bell is about the same!
Of course, he does not show strong aggression, which can only make other nobles huddle. He needs an opportunity, and this opportunity is in Sean's hands.
After saying goodbye to the Veneers, the team moved forward again, and with two days to go to Ortlenburg, the first rain of spring finally arrived.
It's just that this rain seems to be a little heavy.
Dark clouds covered the sky over the entire province of Bell, and raindrops the size of soybeans occupied the entire space.
The roads also became muddy, leaving Rennes a day and a half late than expected to return to Ortrenburg.
