Chapter 147: Alliance Seminar (1)

Very suddenly, he went from being the lord of a small peasant town to becoming the leader of the western part of the empire. Rutega Crusnier, the poor twenty-eight-year-old young man, was completely overwhelmed.

If you want to recall your own life, it can probably be regarded as magnificent. Born into a family of commoners in the imperial capital, Lutga has an elite brother who is seven years older than him and has become a knight, and since he became sensible, he has dreamed of becoming a good knight like his brother.

At the age of twelve, he became a trainee at the Knight Academy, and at that time, his elder brother, Julius Crusnier, had already trained the strength of a mid-level warrior and above, and became the official knight of the 'Legendary Blade'.

Until the age of sixteen, he experienced an ordinary and fulfilling training life. Lutga can get along with anyone, and although Lutga himself doesn't really like his drifting personality, he is unexpectedly an inconspicuous but likable type.

Among them, even the royal family was fascinated by his personality, including the three princes, who always did stupid things at that time but were free and enviable, as well as the twin princesses Flora and the LaBelle sisters. After that, he became a couple with Flora, a powerful and cheerful princess knight who could even be called domineering, and made a marriage contract. Although to this day, he does not understand why the excellent Flora would favor him.

Then, at the age of eighteen, Lutega's smooth routine came to an end without warning, and his turbulent life began.

The death of the emperor and the civil strife of the empire, the death of his brother and the fall of the knights, the development of the [Holy Spirit Project] and the success of the blessing of the Holy Spirit, leaving behind the pregnant Flora to go to various places to fight in the east and west, and finally return to the imperial capital [Zesetoria] with the pain of losing his wife.

Originally, after experiencing all this, Lutega's magnificent life would come to an end. He just wants to spend the rest of his life with his daughters on the borders of the empire and spend it smoothly.

In fact, there have not been much waves in the past eight years. Although Silia, like the rest of the empire, is often exposed to the frequent threat of Warcraft, fortunately, as a knight of the 'Pre-Legend Blade', the Warcraft around the C-rank are not a problem. In Lutega's opinion, the roaming bandits gave him more headaches than those monsters that acted on instinct. In short, the daughters are thriving, and the governance of the territory is gradually on the right track through unremitting efforts.

But recently, the gears of his fate seemed to have gone crazy again, and he was swept into one whirlpool after another. In just a few months, he has been unable to sort out his situation.

First of all, the conspiracy of the imperial capital, the mastermind behind it has not surfaced until today, and the strange towers in the mouth of His Majesty the Emperor are now close to completion. As for the purpose of building the tower and the scale of the disaster that may occur, it is still hidden in the dark.

Then there is the encounter of [Etania], the dangerous medicine that drives ordinary people crazy, the strange barrier that can seal the [Holy Spirit's blessing], and the unstable atmosphere that swells in the city. Where did the medicine come from, what was the connection with the turmoil in the imperial capital eight years ago, and who provided the technology for sealing the enchantment?

Then he met Ratchi, the first girl since Flora to be fascinated by her and determined to marry her. However, before that, her identity was the Qingyuan Dragon, a demon dragon who broke free from the seal and once destroyed the entire country, and personally transformed countless cities into ice fields.

Right now, in the past few days, I have no time to prepare for the wedding, and when I was honestly staying in the city and running around for the wedding, I was told that I didn't know when I became the "alliance leader" of more than 20 surrounding cities.

And it was none other than his own precious daughters who conveyed this message to himself...... If it was just a verbal account from his daughters, he might have laughed it off and thought it was a child's joke.

However, the way these girls are acting is really scary. Alice, on the other hand, just said in a coquettish tone, "Father, I want to discuss something with you" and led him to the living room.

That's right, Alice's title today is a return to the past, "Daddy" who makes his bones crispy, not "Daddy". Deceived by her attitude, by the time Lutga came back to his senses, the living room of the Lord's Mansion, which had always been empty, had been crowded with all kinds of strange people who had suddenly visited.

Unbeknownst to Lutega, the identities of these people were not simple - in addition to the lords of the surrounding cities, there were also the presidents of the trade chambers, representatives of the Adventurers' Guild and the Wizards' Guild, and even the leaders of some well-known mercenary groups.

""Lord, โ€”โ€”!"

As soon as his insignificant rural aristocrat appeared, he actually made all the high-ranking and powerful figures present cast admiring glances, and this moment completely shattered the possibility of jokes. Lutga suddenly felt that his mind was blank, and he didn't know how to react.

You must know that he had no personal relationship with the nobles here in the past, and even he always felt that the other nobles didn't like him, especially the [Etania] lord who had just had a conflict a while ago at the front of the table, which impressed him even more.

In desperation, Lutga had no choice but to turn his attention to the daughters who had led him into the hall, but the eldest daughter, Alice, put on an awkward smile, pushed her back with her delicate body, and forced him to the main seat with indescribable brute force.

So, the inexplicable alliance meeting left Rutga on the main seat and kicked off on his own...... Of course, Rutega, who had not made any preparations in advance and did not even know anything about what was really going on, could not say a word from beginning to end. Only his three daughters kept listing all kinds of plans that made him jaw-dropping, and at the same time giving detailed answers to the various questions posed by the audience.

Rutga turned his head at full speed, trying to make sense of the agenda, and as he began to comprehend its contents, he couldn't help but be more and more frightened by the grandeur of the plan.

Alice's attitude at this time was not at all as hearty and casual as after the reunion, but as steady as everyone's ladies and gentlemen: "Fellow citizens, as I said before in [Regedia], there are countless people in the empire who are in dire straits. Political, economic recession, and in the long run, it is only a matter of time before the country collapses...... But, happily, now that we in Silia have the means to solve this dilemma, the strategy led by my father, the lord of Count Rutga Cruznier, is well underway. Today, we will share it with all of you free of charge and without reservation. Then, before we can solve the problem, we must first recognize the root of the problem, Ariz-"

- Eh, solving the Empire's woes, coping strategies, is there such a thing?

Aliez took over the topic, and unlike Alice, who almost changed her personality, she still had the same brisk tone: "Well~~Actually~I don't know much about politics~~ But the continuous deterioration of the living environment of the empire this year is due to its natural factors~~Everyone, please see~~"

As she spoke, the second daughter Eliza snapped her fingers, and then summoned a huge light curtain from mid-air that was translucent and indicated a map of the continent, and you could faintly hear everyone's exclamations, especially the representatives of the Magician Association, who were about to pop out of their eyes, but Alize didn't take these to heart, " With the national boundary of the Terrence Empire as the boundary, the spatial boundary of the entire region is in an extremely unstable state, affected by other dimensional axes, the concentration and conductivity of the magic power of the entire territory of the empire have reached more than two hundred percent of the surrounding countries, and according to my regular sampling comparison, this value is still increasing~~"

Descriptions like this made everyone present look dazed. In response, Arize's arm tightened the rabbit doll in her arms, and she looked at the ceiling with an innocent look, as if trying to think about how to explain it. Suddenly, she continued as if she had a flash of inspiration, "Uh~~ To put it simply~~ It's our country, which is connected to the 'Demon Realm'~~ A large amount of runaway magic power that continues to overflow from the 'Demon Realm' is making the Warcraft continue to become active, and at the same time inhibiting the growth of ordinary animals and plants, so the Warcraft disaster continues to intensify, while agriculture and animal husbandry have been shrinking, and over time, it has fundamentally caused the shortage of domestic materials~~ As for the solution~~ Little sisterโ€”โ€”"

Such an explanation made many people present show a look of sudden realization, especially the lord of the port city [Regedia] - Count Will, in recent years, the frequent occurrence of demonic beasts in the sea has caused the fishing industry to become increasingly depressed, and he is deeply touched by this.

I don't even know! What the hell is the Demon Realm?

It's just that the alliance leader Lutega, who has always taken the lead in cleaning up the surrounding demonic beasts, still has no idea about it.

In the end, Sophia quietly began to tell in a flat tone: "Hmm...... In the end, the solution revolves around three points. First, defend against the frequent outbreaks of Warcraft, consolidate city defense facilities, and send stationed troops. Second, to neutralize and purify the environment from harmful magical forces, and to restore the development of agriculture and animal husbandry. Third, and most importantly, reform the current political system. As for how to do it......"

I don't know whether it was intentional or not, Sophia said this, and turned her eyes in the direction of Lutga.

-- Sending troops, cleaning up pollution, improving politics, and howโ€”โ€”!

This made Lutga panic, knowing that even the small place of Silia had already worked hard, and he couldn't find any solution to the above problems. At such a critical moment, it would be cruel to throw the topic to yourself.

But at this moment, the door to the living room behind Lutga opened, and it turned out that Sophia's eyes were on the door and not on herself. I saw that the maids in the lord's mansion appeared one after another, and as if they had been prepared, they distributed the parchment scrolls in their hands to everyone in the living room. In other words, from beginning to end, only he, as the "leader of the alliance", didn't know anything about it.

And just like that, the meeting of the alliance has just begun...... And the leader of the alliance, Count Rutga Crusnier, is on pins and needles.
