Chapter 138: The Turbulent Situation
The spring breeze is full of flowers, and the mountain collar wrapped in wildflowers is particularly enchanting. With the embellishment of lanterns, it is like the kingdom of God on earth.
The Lord's Palace, which has completed the main building, is the beginning of its glory, as if telling the birth of a legend.
The guests talked and laughed, and the lively atmosphere pushed the mood of the scene to a climax.
"Viscount Oran is here!"
"Viscount Nicholas is here!"
"Count Simic is here!"
"Lord Lonnwell is here"
……
The arrival of every big man will cause a sensation.
The nobles who appeared in front of them were okay, even if everyone didn't have the opportunity to make friends, they still met and mixed up with a familiar face.
The strong players who appeared later were different. Although these cultivators rarely show up, their popularity in aristocratic circles has never been low.
It is human instinct to worship the strong, and in the face of a group of top powerhouses, even nobles have to call them "adults" to show respect for them.
Of course, there will be no shortage of titles of nobility on the heads of these people. In order to win over these strong people, the title of honorary nobleman was arranged early.
The viscount is just the beginning, and it is not surprising that he has given several credits to the kingdom and has been given the title of earl and marquis.
If you are willing to die for the kingdom, then it is not necessary to say that it is possible to get the title of Grand Duke. A little bit of royal blood, a prince's title, that's appropriate.
The title of honorary nobility is not valuable, especially when it comes to wooing the strong, and the kingdom has never been stingy with titles.
Perhaps because there is no need to make money, all countries on the mainland like to give a string of false titles when they win over the strong.
The arrival of a number of powerful people in the province made the specifications of the banquet rise sharply, and the guests who participated in the banquet were dumbfounded.
Compared with the two previous high-profile banquets, this banquet has completely kicked off the grade. Hudson's display of terrifying connections made the minor nobles have to reconsider the issue of taking sides.
Especially the nobles of Lyte, the grass on the wall who was originally going to move closer to Viscount Sith instantly sobered up.
There is a grand duke's father who is really awesome, but this is a southeastern province. It is the local powerhouses that decide everyone's life and death.
Although I don't know how much they support the mountain collars, they have finally shown their attitude. This means that the forces behind Viscount Sith want to exert political pressure, and it is impossible to work here.
The five giants in the Northland are indeed powerful, but they are only one of them, and it is purely a dream to want the powerful factions in the southeastern province to bow their heads.
If it really involves core interests, even if the five are combined, everyone will not make concessions.
In essence, there is a serious dependence between the northern Xinjiang region and the southern Xinjiang provinces.
Although it is slightly weaker than the northeastern provinces, the large amount of money and food supported every year gives everyone enough right to speak.
It can be seen from the reactions of the guests that the purpose of shocking people has obviously been achieved.
The nobles of Northern Xinjiang who came to make up the number were just that, their backgrounds determined their positions, and they came to the banquet, which was just a courtesy congratulations.
The local nobles in the county were really frightened. Many people are secretly glad that they are not in a hurry to accept the pull of the Sith Viscount.
The guy who leaned over first and wanted to speculate is now even more anxious to burn his eyebrows, and wants to cut off with Viscount Sith immediately.
The cruel reality tells them that their origin determines their position!
If you want to be a wall grass, you have to ask the local elders if they will agree.
Lytte County's knockout round of the jungle has only entered the midfield at this moment, and it is far from the time to decide the winner.
The position of the county guard only means that whoever is behind him has a stronger voice in the royal capital. Now this is the statement of all forces in the province.
True and false, false and true.
The asymmetry of information made the minor nobles directly conclude that all local forces were "all" supporting Hudson based on what they saw with their own eyes.
Even if someone told them that the banquet didn't mean anything. It's just an ordinary overthrow to each other, the icing on the cake, and no one will believe it.
In terms of face, how does the Coslow family compare to the Dalton family?
The Viscount Cailliaud's celebration banquet was much lower than that. Mo said that it was a group of strong people, and even many middle-class nobles only prepared a congratulatory gift, and they couldn't see anyone at all.
The two sides are in a hurry, and the nobles who are not in the camps of both sides and don't want to offend people can naturally only be absent at the same time.
Originally, it was just the after-effects of the banquet time colliding together. Now it has been over-interpreted by many people as a political statement by various forces.
This misunderstanding is exactly what Hudson wants to see. He never has too many little brothers, even if they are little brothers with ghosts, they can shout a few voices.
If it works well, it can also be taken out to bluff people. Hudson was experienced when it came to playing with bravado.
A lot of what seems to be accidental is actually inevitable. This grand banquet was no exception.
So many people can come, because the connections are mutual. Someone else came over to cheer today, and if someone else needed it one day, Hudson would have to run over to help stand on the platform.
The aristocratic connections and resources are terrifying, and it is essentially a big drama that flatters each other. can continue to act, it is because the actors are too deep into the play, and they take it seriously when they act.
When you're strong, there's nothing wrong with that. The icing on the cake is something that everyone is happy to do, and you can enjoy the dividends brought by network resources.
Once the power declined, that was another story. In general, it is definitely better to walk with more friends than without friends.
……
As the protagonist of the banquet, Hudson is like a hard-working little bee, constantly shuttling through the hall.
Important guests should be receiving, and ordinary guests who come to cheer should also not be negligent.
If there is no nutrition, I spoke again and again, and my throat was about to smoke, so I took a photo with all the guests.
You can't lose your character!
Arrogance is destined not to belong to the small and medium-sized aristocracy. If you want to come out, you must be a corporal and show kindness to everyone as much as possible.
Compared with Hudson's secret complaint, Baron Redman, who was also hanging around the banquet, was proud, which made him sigh at the strength of his spiritual power.
It's normal to think about it, I've been standing still for most of my life, and I finally crossed the class by relying on my son, and I can take it out to show off, which is naturally a hundred times more energetic.
After wandering around, he returned to the ranks of the strong men, and the style of painting became bold again.
Fortunately, the banquet was divided into two parts, otherwise the scene of people cooking with the monster would have been seen by the people outside, and they would have to clap their hands and shout - okay while their hearts are broken.
It's all Bear Stearns' bad head, the last time he fooled around in the Governor's Palace, and now he has been punished.
Hudson was prepared for a long time and prepared a Warcraft package in advance. Although the specifications are not as high as the Governor's Palace banquet, it is better than a large amount of fullness.
Roast sheep and roast cows, they are all whole heads, and animal milk and honey are also potted one by one.
It's a pity that not all Warcraft are good at this, except for the Warcraft in Kumanai, the other Warcraft are mainly interested in meat.
……
"I'm afraid the mainland is going to be chaotic.
The orcs in the north began to be restless again, and there were many signs that they were fighting their horses, and the battle of the southern invasion was imminent.
Ranwen
The only uncertainty is that they put the direction of the main attack over there. I hope it's not the Alpha Kingdom, or we'll be miserable.
What is even more odious is that in such a moment of crisis, the Holy See is restless. It was not long ago that it ended its conflict with us, and recently it has been with the Kingdom of the Franks.
Shamelessly claiming that other people's kings are not legitimate, do you really think that they are still the era of dominating the continent?
What is it?
Wait, as the number one power on the mainland, the Frankish Kingdom will not save face for them.
I wouldn't be surprised if I woke up one day and suddenly a bunch of new Dawn Sects appeared!
Now it depends on which country is willing to take the lead, anyway, our Alpha Kingdom will most likely follow suit. ”
Longwell said mockingly.
As a knight of the earth, he had personally trained on the orc battlefield. It's just that it was only a medium-sized raid to the south, and only two of the five major orcs came to the imperial court.
Even so, the Alpha Kingdom suffered heavy losses. It took 200,000 troops and 500,000 civilian casualties to drive the orcs out.
In Longwell's view, it was not so much about driving the orcs out, but rather relying on the defense line of the fortress, which dragged the logistics of the orc empire to the weakness, and could only be forced to withdraw the army.
It's not a question of cowardice, when it comes to a difficult big guy like the Orc Empire, no one really wants to face it.
Originally, the orcs invaded the south, which was troublesome enough. However, the Holy See is still not worried and keeps doing things on the mainland.
The last time they supported the skeleton to make trouble, they accidentally exposed the existence of the "Blood Moon Horn", and they were found on their heads by the Alpha Kingdom.
This time, the throne of the Frank Kingdom was changed, and the selected supporters had a small accident and accidentally broke the gang.
There is no doubt that the Holy See's investment must have failed, and it has lost all its money. If not, the pope would not have been angry and declared the new king illegitimate.
It's a pity that this doesn't make any sense, the nobles voted directly with their feet, and the Holy See was right to oppose it.
Not legal, right?
After the Holy See announced this decision, the Terran countries, which were still waiting to see the situation and did not immediately recognize the new king of the Frankish Kingdom, made their positions clear - recognizing its legitimacy.
As for the lack of Pope participation in the coronation ceremony, it is also very simple, and it would be nice to be directly downgraded. If there is no pope to preside, then pick a random bishop to go up and make up the numbers.
Anyway, this is nothing new, like the Alpha Kingdom, where the king appoints an archbishop, and the archbishop presides over the coronation ceremony of the king's succession.
Because the Frankish kingdom is the first power of the human race, the card is larger, and every time there is a change of throne, the pope himself presides over it.
Now that the two sides have completely fallen out, then play on your own. Anyway, in terms of military strength, the Frankish kingdom is not much different from the Holy See, and it is not cowardly.
"Not only that, but it is said that the Kingdom of the South Bank has recently clashed with the Grey Dwarves, and the Kingdom of Hesse has been at odds with the Mountain Dwarves.
The Kingdom of Dante in the east, it seems that because of the problem of catching slaves, it is now in conflict with the Elven Kingdom.
There are countless similar skirmishes. It felt like overnight, and the Terrans were already the enemy of the world. ”
Magister Antar sighed.
"Antar, you're making too much of a fuss. Since becoming the overlord of the continent, when has my human race not been the enemy of the world?
No matter which race becomes the hegemon of the continent, it will enjoy this treatment.
Even if they are peace-loving elves, when they ruled the continent hundreds of thousands of years ago, weren't they also enemies of the world?
As the hegemon of the mainland, how can he be afraid of these conspiracies. If you want to come, come on, it's all in trouble, and it's just a one-time solution.
As long as the Terran countries don't fight among themselves, even if they are combined, they won't be enough for us to fight. What is there to be afraid of?
As long as we resist the invasion of the orcs, the other battlefields have nothing to do with us. Even if you want to manage it, the Alpha Kingdom doesn't have that strength.
This time is different from the past, and with the power of the Three Kingdoms, we may not be able to deal a heavy blow to the Orc Empire.
If we can hurt the vitality of the orcs, we will not only be able to regain the lost territory, but also advance the battle line to the north for a thousand and eight hundred miles.
Coming three or five times over and over again, you can also turn the Orc Empire into history and completely solve this great enemy that threatens the survival of our human race! ”
Magister Claude said domineeringly.
The hawks among the magicians are rare. Most magicians are known for their rationality, and only a few are extraordinary, and they are full of enthusiasm.
The Claude Magister in front of him is undoubtedly the other of the other. As far as Hudson knew, this man not only talked about war, but also studied all kinds of weapons of war.
There is no doubt that these weapons of war are inseparable from magic. No one knows what the results will be, but this spirit is definitely commendable.
If the Terran magicians had come up with more big killing weapons, maybe the Northern Frontier battlefield would not have been passive forever.
Watching the heated discussion of a group of powerful people, Hudson could only be a silent listener. The lack of information made him lose his voice.
Mo said that it was the entire continent, and even the changes that occurred within the Alpha Kingdom, the speed at which the Coslow family received the news was a step slower.
The slow rate at which the message is received is even slower when the message is delivered. Unless it may involve their own interests, they don't even pass the idea on to each other.
It's all poor.
If each branch really took the initiative to collect information and exchange information in a timely manner, it would have to increase the cost of at least thousands of gold coins every year.
There are hundreds of branches, large and small, which seem to be amortized, and there doesn't seem to be much. But the problem is that there are many branches in the middle, and that is really poor.
Some of them were not even able to keep the nobles' families, and they were directly reduced to commoners.
If it weren't for Hudson's initiative to invite him and become a branch of the civilian population, he would not have participated in this event at all.
Maybe something should be done?
