Chapter Seventy-Five: Contracted by Our Stephen Sand!
I don't know for what reason, although Xu Nan didn't use [Dementia Touch], Evelyn actually quickly accepted this statement.
She naturally began to share her information with Xu Nan-
It turned out that Viscount Mu Lu had always been a chess piece laid out by the Minister of War in the north, and the purpose was to start a war one day at the right time!
And this war, of course, is directed further north, to the magical and exotic land, a mysterious land that the gods have never touched, Afaria!
At the beginning, the Northland countries were forced by the gods to have a long confrontation with the civilization of Afaria, and the battle was very fierce, and both sides were greatly injured, and the Northland countries did not take much advantage; So much so that later, after the gods set their sights on the earth, the northern kingdoms retreated from the battlefield faster and faster.
Although some nations coveted the unique climate of the Eparian civilization compared to the northern continent, the strong determination of the Epfarians to defend their territory deterred these greedy.
Peace lasted for a long, long time.
But Xu Nan also knows that peace will never be the theme of human existence.
Struggle, yes!
The eastern kingdom has been cultivating and recuperating over the years, annexing many small countries in the south, and although it is not called a king and a hegemon in the northern continent, it already has a certain status, otherwise Evelyn's father, the current king of the Rhine Kingdom, would not marry a woman with the surname Caesar.
Nowadays, the internal situation in the Eastern Kingdom is quite delicate, according to the ancestral rules, every prince and princess of the direct line is eligible to compete for the position of king or queen, including Evelyn, but among the four heirs of the kingdom, she is the least favored.
All of this seems to have nothing to do with Viscount Mulu, but the political pattern is all about the whole body.
Under Evelyn's detailed description, Xu Nan gradually understood what she had to face.
Viscount Mulu is just a cover on the surface, what may really pose a mortal danger to him is the military headquarters of the Eastern Kingdom, and after that, it is His Royal Highness the Great Prince, who is very likely to inherit the crown of the kingdom!
In the Eastern Kingdom, the military department has always been the place reserved for the eldest prince, in addition to the king himself, the eldest prince who has been in the army for many years has a very high prestige, and many military ministers are relatively clear to stand on the side of the eldest prince; It's just that due to the ancestral rules of the Eastern Kingdom, he hasn't made a public statement for the time being.
The so-called fair play between the four heirs is a joke in itself, and the eldest prince who sits on the eastern highland fortress country is not an opponent at all compared to Evelyn, who is trapped in the kingdom's enclave of the Ice Wind Lord.
Evelyn's father is getting old, and the battle for succession in the Eastern Kingdom is gradually heating up.
It's just that although the eldest prince seems to be the trend of the times, the other two competitors also have their own basic markets.
This wrestling is not destined to be so easy to distinguish between winners and losers.
The eldest prince himself seems to have lost patience.
So, perhaps it was him, or perhaps it was his staff, who came up with a brilliant strategy.
Start a war!
The Eastern Kingdom has been on the road to prosperity and strength for some time, and the gap between the rich and the poor in the country is widening at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and even many internal contradictions have arisen; Some time ago, His Majesty the King seemed to bring up this topic intentionally or unintentionally, and it is clear that the transfer of internal contradictions within the kingdom is a necessary condition for becoming the next prince.
And as we all know, war is the best strategy.
Especially the Epherian civilization of the north.
After years of peace, they gradually chose to disarm, and even began to do business with the northerners - there were some Ephrarian merchants in Wildfire City, and their attitude towards the people of the ice fields was still arrogant, but not as resistant as it used to be.
The Kingdom War Department believes that the time has come.
According to the Church, the New World (Earth) is isolated in the southern continent, and it is unlikely that the countries of the northern continent will want to get a piece of the pie, at least in the northern continent; At the moment, the attention of the whole world is focused on the south, and the northern kingdoms are the forgotten realms.
Choosing to go to war at this time is not only not risky, but also very likely to achieve surprising results.
If you can conquer the vine border that the Efarians have been holding for many years, it will not only be a strategic breakthrough for the Eastern Kingdom, but also have the possibility of gaining the favor of the gods.
"There are still many churches in the kingdom, but no one can dominate them."
"The Church of the God of Daylight dominates, but it seems that this bishop has a very deep blood relationship with our royal family, and has little interference in internal affairs, but only maintains a high degree of autonomy."
"The rest of the churches are trying to get a higher status, but they don't dare to make a mistake in front of the Daylight Church."
As she said this, Evelyn's expression visibly became a little confused.
Xu Nan understood her confusion.
Generally speaking, this phenomenon is very abnormal in the Northland countries.
Each major church has its own basic plate, and with the strength of the gods, the church's interference in the internal affairs of the state is very serious; Most seriously, the power of the pope himself is far above that of the king, and to a lesser extent, he also has a great deal of power in affairs.
Like the Eastern Kingdom, there are too few people who are the bosses of the Daylight Church but don't care about things.
This may have something to do with the legendary pope of the Northlands.
Xu Nan kept an eye on it, and turned around and prepared to use the intelligence agency of Paradise Lost to find out what the origin of that person was, so as not to accidentally operate in the Eastern Kingdom in the future and provoke a guy who should not be provoked.
In sum, the situation of the church gave the eastern kingdom a great capacity to accumulate strength; Instead, the military department has increased its voice.
The Great Prince's plan is clear: start a war against Afaria, and if he wins, he will be crowned king when he returns in triumph!
It's pretty much a card strategy, and anyone who knows the inside story can see it.
But the question is, how to start this war?
Whether it is the earth or the general world, a nameless war will always be spurned, and the eldest prince certainly does not dare to risk the condemnation of the world; What's more, the biggest problem facing the provocation of war has not yet been solved!
That's Wildfire City, a frontier town where the Iceplains govern themselves.
When Afalia was first attacked, Wildfire City was the most important stronghold.
Now, if you want to start a war again, you must at least confirm that the city is your logistics base.
As a result, the eldest prince intervened in the kingdom's intelligence agencies and forged the [Wild Exploration Order]!
After some careful planning, the news about the Wildfire City Lord's Wild Exploitation Order is very loud, and for the eldest prince's people, they only need to stand up at the critical moment and control the puppet city lord.
But what they never expected was that the plan couldn't keep up with the change!
The news of the Wild Frontier Order spread quite quickly, Toomel. Sue also bought the token as a matter of course - but the appearance of a conspirator disrupted the layout of it all; And the chaotic intrusion of Xu Nan and Gray led to the incident in Wildfire City being pushed to a climax beyond the control of mortals!
"According to Evelyn, the eldest prince himself is a very devout believer in the Daylight Church......"
"He probably didn't expect that a plan he carefully prepared would actually be taken by Fairlando......
Xu Nan speculated ill-intentionedly.
The truth is indeed similar to what Xu Nan guessed.
The secret of Wildfire City made Ferlando directly intervene in the matter, although he did not send an oracle, but directly warned the Great Prince in the body of a sage, and frightened the kingdom agents to flee Wildfire City directly.
Then came the thrilling night of Heaven and Purgatory in Wildfire City.
After the incident, Fairlandor probably didn't squeak, and the eldest prince's side was probably scared half to death.
Although he is a mortal, there are always some capable guys around him who can speculate about what is going on in Wildfire City.
This kind of chaotic situation of gods, devils, and legends entering the play, I'm afraid he has never seen it when he is so old.
It stands to reason that he should have retreated bravely.
But sometimes, it is difficult for human reason to overcome greed.
For him, who is already thirty-eight years old, the crown is so close that it is really difficult to give up.
After confirming that Ferlando had lost interest in the matter, he ordered another test of Wildfire City.
And Viscount Mulu, this chess piece that had been planted near Wildfire City many years ago, finally played its role.
The capture of the granary of Sebaron was only the first step.
If Xu Nan continues to retreat, I'm afraid the next step is to directly send troops to take over the city defense of Wildfire City.
……
"Politics is so complicated......"
After listening to Evelyn's analysis, Xu Nan shook his head, although he guessed something, he didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns hidden behind the movement of a little viscount.
This is not quite the same as what is written in the online article!
When you encounter this kind of mentally retarded villain, don't you just pass it and it's over?
Xu Nan was aggrieved.
"Now that you understand the people behind Mu Lu's own, what will you do?"
Evelyn bit her lip and looked at Xu Nan with some expectation.
Xu Nan pondered for a moment:
"That's it!"
Although it seems that the opponent has changed from Viscount Mu Lu to the eldest prince, it seems that the grade has improved a lot, but this does not scare off the city lord of Xu
Determination to protect your emerald mine! On the contrary, Evelyn's intel made him more alert!
"Want to go to war? No way! ”
"Lao Tzu wants the emerald mine for peaceful development, and he opens a sweatshop to live an addiction to being a capitalist!"
"Even if you really want to fight, you have to wait for Lao Tzu to complete the business transformation and sell arms instead!"
Regarding the eldest prince's abacus, Xu Nan firmly said no!
A hint of surprise flashed in Evelyn's eyes, but she hesitated:
"But my brother is ...... strong."
Xu Nan waved his hand generously:
"It's okay, do you have the contact information of your brother Wang?"
"That's what you told him......"
"The land of Wildfire City has been contracted by our Stephen Sand!"
