Hudson, who had just returned from the construction site, was directly stunned by the news from the royal capital.

It is one thing to acquiesce to the annexation of the Kingdom of Hesse to the country of Korubia, and it is another thing to personally frame him.

At the beginning, everyone discussed the Sui *** policy, but they didn't say that they would help the Hessian Kingdom annex Korubia. Remembering the diplomatic note sent by the two countries, Hudson knew that his king was beginning to live in good order.

Caesar IV was not a peaceful lord after all, and after only a few days on the throne, he couldn't bear it anymore.

Busy, certainly not for nothing. The assassination of Eucalyptus by a failed prince alone was not enough to make the Alpha Kingdom pay such a big price.

Jointly issuing diplomatic notes and playing together to frame up the spoils, most of them will not lack the common sharing of spoils.

The partition of the Korubia kingdom will indeed allow the kingdom to take advantage of it in the short term, but as soon as the precedent of blatant framing is opened, there will be endless troubles!

The Kingdom of Hesse did that, and Hudson could still show understanding. Being in the land of four wars, catching up with this great era of a hundred boats competing for the crossing, if you don't work hard to expand your strength, sooner or later you will be the meat on the eucalyptus board of others.

The strength of the human race is inversely proportional to the binding force of the rules. The faster the strength of the race increases, the less attention everyone attaches to the rules.

The orc empire was crippled, the human race occupied the orc steppe, and the major alien races only came forward to mediate and did not send troops to intervene.

At first, Hudson thought that it was the hatred of the orcs, coupled with the good work of Terran diplomacy, that contributed to this situation.

As his status grew, and his understanding of the situation on the mainland deepened, Hudson realized that this was not the case at all.

In the face of racial survival, few races will act rashly because of past hatred.

Watching the Terrans expand and not act to intervene is tantamount to chronic suicide.

The truth is that after hundreds of years of continuous suppression, the living space of all ethnic groups on the mainland has been squeezed very much. In the past few decades, the overall strength of many races has fallen instead of rising.

When the Orc Empire sent a signal for help, the various races also wanted to send troops to intervene, but they were limited by their own strength and could not cope with the war that happened in the Orc Empire.

Theoretically speaking, the combined strength of all the alien races on the continent of Aslant is still above the human race.

It's a pity that this is only strength on paper, and there are also many contradictions between the major alien races, and they lack enough trust between each other, so they can't do intimate cooperation at all.

What's more, they are still divided by the Terran countries in various parts of the continent, and even if they can really unite, they will not be able to gather for a while.

If you want to save the orcs, you will start a war in a hurry. A group of alien races scattered all over the continent will not only not be able to take advantage, but will also fall into the embarrassing situation of fighting on their own.

In the end, there is a high probability that the Terran countries will concentrate their forces to defeat them one by one.

After the orc empire was crippled, the Terrans, who originally had a strategic advantage, had an increasingly obvious advantage over the races on the mainland.

Correspondingly, the high-level of the human race, the sense of crisis also declined. Everyone is less and less concerned about the threat of alien races.

Without the threat of foreign enemies, everyone's minds are active, but they still retain a certain moral bottom line.

This time Caesar IV's operation is undoubtedly a big pull down everyone's already small discipline.

If the two countries succeed in carving up the country of Korubia, then there will be many followers. A new round of merger frenzy can be said to be imminent.

Now it depends on the ambitions of those in power in the major powers.

If the ambition is great, then condemn it and secretly contribute to the flames, as much as possible to facilitate the annexation of Korubia by the two countries, and lay the foundation for their next expansion.

If you don't have much ambition, then you should intervene decisively and maintain the current status quo as much as possible.

Hudson was helpless about this uncontrollable change.

The rules are the thing that can't stand the toss. Today you break one, tomorrow I break one, and the day after tomorrow no one cares about the rules.

The rules gradually lost their effectiveness, everyone's moral bottom line was constantly lowered, and finally it was inevitable that "the Spring and Autumn Period would transition to the Warring States Period".

If this trend is not curbed, the next continent of Aslant will become more and more difficult to mix.

I wanted to stop it, but the pen was in my hand, and Hudson put it down again.

Diplomatic notes have been sent, and even if the Alpha Kingdom stops now, the bad political impact has already happened.

Moreover, Caesar IV was not a person who liked to listen to persuasion, and a group of princes and ministers in the royal capital could not stop him, and Hudson did not believe that one of his letters could be effective.

Glancing at the direction of the royal capital, Hudson couldn't help but sigh: "The political credibility that His Majesty Caesar III has painstakingly managed has been lost!" ”

After a pause, Hudson relieved himself and wrote again. It's just that this letter was not addressed to Caesar IV.

"Tom, send someone to deliver this letter to Mr. José, so that our people in the royal capital can do a good job of answering it."

If you can't persuade your own king, then you can dig the foot of the wall with a hoe.

After Caesar IV succeeded to the throne, in order to win the hearts of the people, a large-scale aristocratic canonization has been held, and all the ceremonies that were too late to be carried out before have been supplemented.

However, among the many canonists, José was nowhere to be found. The court earl, who carried the black cauldron for the crown prince, seemed to have been forgotten.

It is possible that other people are forgotten because of the mistakes of the managers, and it is impossible to say that their own people who follow the royal family are forgotten.

Even if Caesar IV was busy and forgot for a while, someone around him would come out to remind him. After so many years in the royal family, Jose couldn't have even had a friend to help talk.

Anyway, he is also the "hero" who helped carry the black cauldron, and now that Caesar IV is on the throne, there should still be proper care.

It is a pity that after waiting for such a long time, Caesar IV did nothing, and did not even summon Jose in private.

Perhaps Caesar IV wanted to erase his black history too much, and he didn't know how to face Jose, who witnessed that period of history throughout the whole process, so he simply chose to treat it coldly and use time to transform everything.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people who knew about it, José would have been killed. In order to maintain their reputation, the superior will do everything.

Since Caesar IV didn't care, Hudson was not welcome. He has long been greedy for the talent reserve of the royal family.

Hudson also did a lot of foreshadowing in order to be able to poach people, and now it is finally time to harvest.

……

In the Frankish kingdom, Charles III, who received the news, was first shocked, and then overjoyed.

As the first kingdom on the mainland, it is certainly majestic, but it has been in the limelight for a long time, and it is impossible to do something out of the ordinary.

obviously has a huge military strength, but he can only bully the surrounding aliens. Any small action within the Terrans will be deeply interpreted.

However, the alien races bordering the Frankish kingdom have long been driven to the barren land, and there is not much oil and water to fish.

In order to break the situation on the mainland, Charles III also made a series of strategic layouts, the biggest of which was to pull the countries of the continent to defeat the crippled orc empire.

As it turned out, he was not wrong in his judgment. When the threat of aliens decreased, the balance within the Terrans was also upset.

Now that the Kingdom of Hesse and the Kingdom of Alpha have taken the lead in breaking the rules of the game, the shackles that originally bound the Kingdom of Franks have become loose.

Charles III had a hunch that as long as the country of Korubia was divided, the political ideas now pursued by the Terran countries would be impacted.

When everyone abandoned their moral code and began to expand unbridled, the power of the rules that bound the Frankish kingdom ceased to exist.

In the chaotic game without the constraints of rules, everyone fights for strength.

"What do you think of the actions of the Hesses and Arfa?"

Charles III asked.

"Your Majesty, this will be the beginning of chaos on the mainland. After so many years of peace, many people have long been impatient and want to do a big job.

Taking the Holy See as an example, in recent years, it has been engaged in a series of things in order to provoke a continental war.

Now that this has happened, Pius VII will definitely add fuel to the chaos in the Northern Continent.

Once Korubia is divided, the reality of the Alpha Kingdom will be exposed, and everyone knows that their determination to block the northward advance of the central powers is not strong.

The Kingdom of Dante and the Kingdom of the South Bank, which have long been ready to move, will not watch the Hessians eat meat, and will definitely act together.

Perhaps the next unlucky ones will be the turn of the two wall-to-wall nations of Grint and Nadal. The Alpha will not turn against two great powers for the sake of two traitors.

The Principality of Moxi was limited in strength and did not have the ability to intervene with troops; The Warhammer Kingdom is still busy with civil wars, and when they are done, it is estimated that half of the countries in the Northland will be reduced.

Of course, if we take the lead in intervening, we can also make them unable to do anything. But this is not in the interest of the Kingdom.

The shift of the strategic center of gravity of the three central kingdoms to the north is also a good thing for the kingdom.

The kingdom of Oprus next door has been in decline for a long time, but it is a gift from the Lord of the Dawn to the kingdom, and now is the right time! ”

Prime Minister Bergson said murderously.

In other countries, Hesse and Alpha are still carefully plotting a 50,000-square-kilometer country, but the Franks, who are immobile, have already set their sights on the vast kingdom of Oprus.

The pattern of the two sides is obviously not on the same level.

The kingdom of Oprus has also had a great history of glory. Even if it is declining now, relying on the strong family foundation left by the ancestors, it can be squeezed into the top ten kingdoms of the mainland.

It's just that the glory is only the past after all, and with the rise of the Frankish kingdom, their hard days began.

In the past hundred years, seven wars have broken out between the two sides, and the kingdom of Oprus has lost all of them. And three of them were wiped out, and only the pants were left.

No matter how thick the family foundation is, it can't withstand such a toss. After successive defeats, it is inevitable that the kingdom of Oprus will decline.

Cutting land and paying compensation can only be regarded as a trivial matter, under the constraints of the rules, they have been defeated seven times, and they have lost most of the provinces, the key is that the nobles of the Oprus Kingdom have lost their morale.

If the ridge of a country is broken, it will be too difficult to bring it back.

Successive generations of Oprus kings wanted to reverse the kingdom's decline and adopted a series of political reforms to this end.

It's a pity that the internal resistance is too great, and there is a good neighbor next door who comes over from time to time to cause trouble, and under the internal and external troubles, the more they carry out reforms, the faster they will decline.

"The prime minister is right, now the big forces on the mainland have been unable to bear it, and they are just a fuse.

However, before starting to annex the kingdom of Oprus, my personal suggestion is to clear the surrounding alien races first, and strangle the hidden dangers in the cradle in advance.

In order to reduce political pressure, we can also pull the Libyan Kingdom with us. They have been eyeing the declining kingdom of Avalat for a long time, and they are also just one step away from making a move.

If necessary, we can also instigate the Holy See to invade the Kingdom of Ruthenia.

It can be said that once the flames of war are ignited, it will inevitably affect the entire continent. At that time, not only our Terran countries will be in a fight, but all major alien races will also be involved.

Calculating the time, it is estimated that when the mainland is in chaos, it will almost reach the period of 10,000 years.

Perhaps this is the most taboo 10,000-year catastrophe of the ancestors.

I just don't know if this is a coincidence, or if there is a mysterious force deliberately pushing it, every 10,000 years in time, the Aslante continent will definitely be in chaos.

It's a pity that the time is too long, and the materials left behind are only a few words, and it is impossible to restore the historical truth at all.

Even if the kingdom excavates a lot of ruins, the knowledge of the previous era is still very limited! ”

The sigh of the Marquis of Jesús directly affected the emotions of everyone. Almost all the ancient ruins, the great forces that have been inherited for a long time, have records about the "10,000-year catastrophe".

But everyone only mentioned it on paper, without a specific description of the content, followed by a series of strong warnings.

If it weren't for the fact that these materials were too old, too widely distributed, and appeared in alien ruins, and didn't look like they could be manipulated by individuals, they couldn't help but suspect that this was a prank.

"There's no need to think about it, even if you find the details, it's useless, the continent of Aslant 10,000 years ago is not the same as it is now.

At that time, the human race was so weak that they could only survive in the cracks of the alien race, and lived a precarious life all day long.

The slightest movement of the alien race was a test of life and death for the human race at that time. Perhaps the 10,000-year catastrophe in the eyes of our ancestors is also a more cruel war in our eyes.

But since there is a saying of a 10,000-year catastrophe, we have to take advantage of it.

Send someone to release the news, and say: The alien race is plotting to unite, trying to start a war in the period of 100,000 years and subvert the dominance of our human race.

When public opinion is not enough, he will call on all countries on the mainland to launch a great purge.

I don't have the luxury of cleaning up all the alien races on the continent, at least I have to cripple them first, so as to prevent them from having any possibility of turning the tables! ”

Charles III said harshly.
