"The main purpose of inviting you here today is to discuss the future of the kingdom. Because of the civil war, our Warhammer Kingdom has suffered heavy losses, and at this moment, the alien army ......"

"Humph!"

"Humph!" Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by two cold drinks in succession, and Joseph II was so angry that his face turned pale.

He is the king of the Warhammer Kingdom, and he never expected that his subordinates would be so faceless. Even if you are breaking up, for the sake of the face of the kingdom, in front of outsiders, you should pretend!

Unfortunately, Joseph II's illusions were shattered. The representatives of the two camps expressed their unwillingness to recognize him as a king with practical actions.

If it weren't for the rules of the game, it would be unknown whether Joseph II, the king, would have survived until now.

The reality is so cruel, the political balance seems to be played by every monarch, but not everyone can play smoothly.

Once the game collapses, you will have to bear the price of backlash.

"Calm down, everyone, inviting you here today is to solve the problem, not to exacerbate the conflict. The army of the ancient relics is overwhelming, the elves are also ready to move, and the Warhammer Kingdom has reached the most dangerous moment. If you continue to make such a fuss, you should know what will happen next. The reinforcements of the Terran Alliance, which we can't count on in a short period of time, can only rely on ourselves now. Count Renato said solemnly.

The Warhammer Kingdom split is what the Duchy of Moxi wants to see, but only if it waits until after the continental war, not collapses at this time.

The unified Warhammer Kingdom is difficult to stop the foreign soldiers, and the Warhammer Kingdom in civil strife is even less hopeful.

In order to buy time for his family, Count Francis had to pull the countries of the Northern Continent to mediate the internal strife of the Warhammer Kingdom.

"Count Renato, I've got you to see the joke today. We all have a responsibility to get to where the kingdom has come to this point, but some of us are always reluctant to admit it. That's it! is destined not to be a person all the way, rather than reluctantly gathering together to fight every day, it is better to simply separate it. As he spoke, Marshal Borg's tears had already fallen.

As the pillar of the Warhammer Kingdom, it is really difficult to express the feeling of splitting the kingdom that you have fought for most of your life with your own hands.

But there is no way, people can't help themselves in the aristocratic circle. As a representative of the nobility of the western part of the kingdom, he first and foremost defends the interests of the group.

It was suppressed by the eastern aristocracy for hundreds of years, and finally gained the upper hand once, but as a result, not only did it not win more rights, but it triggered a civil war.

At this point in the situation, he has no way back, and the interest groups behind him are pushing him forward as a spokesman.

"Separate, separate, as if they begged you to be together! I know all day long that the kingdom will only grow better without you guys! Prime Minister Gai Yin said to each other.

Since you have gone to the opposite side, you can't lose momentum. It has nothing to do with personal preference, everyone is supported by interest groups behind them, and he also has no choice.

In the blink of an eye, the negotiations reached an impasse. The division is not as simple as talking, but also involves the division of territory.

Civil wars have been fought, and it is strange that the border line can be negotiated in a few words. If you dwell on this issue, things will be in trouble.

"Let's calm down first, whether or not to split up is your internal affair, and as outsiders, it is inconvenient for us to interfere. But one thing you have to think clearly, now that the alien army has been overwhelmed, the Warhammer Kingdom is at a critical juncture. The army of the ancient relics alone is exhausting for everyone to deal with, and if the elves send troops again, it will be even more troublesome. At this critical moment, we need to put aside the contradictions for the time being and unite to tide over the difficulties together. If you can't, then you can take a gamble and see if the alien armies will show mercy to your men! No matter how big the conflict of interests is, it must survive first. Think about it, time is running out for us. Count Gustavo tried to persuade him.

As the Minister of the Alpha Kingdom in the Warhammer Kingdom, he is now on a mission. Whether you live or die in Warhammer Kingdom is not important, the key is to buy time for your family.

The more people in front of him hold on, the more time the Alpha Kingdom will have to prepare. In this context, he naturally didn't want to see the situation go into trouble.

"Count Gustavo, there is nothing wrong with the truth, but some issues are not clear now, and they will be even more unclear in the future. Let's not talk about other questions, who will the king follow after the separation? We can't continue to co-host, can we? Forget it, let's be generous. For your sake, for the sake of your heavy losses in the orc invasion, let His Majesty follow you. It just so happens that most of the royal family's territories are concentrated in the eastern region, and they are directly divided according to the region, so there is no need to be entangled in this issue all the time. Marshal Borg said with a look of disgust.

It's a big deal to be demoted from a kingdom to a principality, as long as you can get rid of Joseph II, it's worth paying a little price.

The reluctance of the western aristocracy to have Joseph II as king did not mean that the eastern aristocracy welcomed him.

In the last orc invasion, both the Alpha Kingdom and the Duchy of Moxi put their armies in the hands of the most capable generals, but Joseph II ran to the royal expedition in order to play a political balance.

The king personally led his troops to the battlefield, and it was also the norm in the continent of Aslant, so there was nothing wrong with it. But once the battle is lost, then there are problems everywhere.

Joseph II, who had lost all his family, naturally became the most unpopular persona. If you want to shake the pot, you can't get rid of it, the coach is what he rushed to do, and the order was also given by him personally, so he naturally has to bear the responsibility for failure.

"Marshal Borg, you can't say that. Our political system is mature, the government is stable, and anyone can run on their own, but you need Your Majesty to preside over the overall situation. We have been friends for many years, and at such a time, how can we take advantage? Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. The land under the royal family can also be replaced, and we can go over it with a quick turn, just by the way to solve the current territorial conflict. ......" As soon as Prime Minister Gai Yin's words came out, everyone was instantly dumbfounded.

After doing it for a long time, the focus of contradiction between the two camps of the Eastern and Western camps of the Warhammer Kingdom actually became

"Don't want the king". A king can be disliked to this position, and Joseph II can be regarded as a historical precedent.

Needless to say, just abdicate! Thinking about Joseph II's riotous operations in the past few years, even the royalists have nothing to say.

If he hadn't insisted on going his own way, with the strength of the Warhammer Kingdom, he wouldn't have lost so badly in the war.

If they had responded positively from the outset, they could have had every chance of keeping most of the kingdom safe from war.

The eastern nobles hated Joseph II for his blind command, causing them to lose their homeland; The western nobles hated him for using the Western aristocratic coalition as cannon fodder in order to maintain balance.

Originally, when this kind of thing happened, he should have taken the initiative to admit his mistake and abdicate to take responsibility in order to alleviate domestic contradictions.

It's a pity that Joseph II just stubbornly refused to give up his position. In the rest of the reconstruction work, Joseph II continued to pursue his balancing act and carried out the riot operation to the end, so that the royalists did not want to speak.

Renato and Gustavo glanced at each other, and both of them showed expressions of helplessness. Asking the king to abdicate is also taboo.

It's not that I'm worried about offending Joseph II, it's mainly about what my boss thinks.

In case you are worried about yourself because of this, it will be a blood loss. They don't mind slamming out of the door if they can dodge.

However, the situation on the battlefield requires them to reconcile the internal contradictions of the Warhammer Kingdom, even if they know that mixing this kind of thing will not end well, they can only bite the bullet.

"Your Majesty, what do you think about this matter?" Count Renato asked angrily. It is a miracle that the king is in this position.

Renato was very suspicious that if Joseph II was tossed any longer, he would be able to guillotine himself.

Of course, it is more likely to be a violent death. Since the end of the papal era, there has been no precedent for the execution of kings in Aslante.

"Humph!" After a cold snort, Joseph II slapped the table and said, "Haven't you already arranged it, and asked me what I am doing?" Don't you just want me to abdicate, as long as I can maintain the unity of the kingdom, I can make concessions! "In the past, this was definitely a touching sacrifice, but unfortunately now that the two factions are jointly forcing the palace, there is no room for maneuver in the matter for a long time.

"In that case, let the eldest prince and the second prince succeed to the throne! For the sake of fairness, the royal family is divided into two, and we then draw lots to decide which prince will be the monarch on which side. Marshal Borg said exhaustedly.

There is nothing more cruel than destroying with your own hands the kingdom that you have fought for most of your life. But things have developed to this point, and splitting up is already the best choice.

In past civil wars, both sides were stained with each other's blood and barely sat together, which only made the contradictions more acute.

Directly divided into two, with more royal collar as a buffer, the two sides have the opportunity to calm down and think about how to deal with the alien invasion.

"Good!"

"Good!" …… A series of applause formed a critical blow to Joseph II, and he fainted directly on the spot.

Frightened, the crowd hurriedly called the pastor to come and rescue him. It doesn't matter if the joint-stock country is divided, if the king is forced to death, it will be a big trouble.

Essentially, the two sides chose two princes to succeed to the throne in order to avoid being on their backs

The crime of "rebellious ministers and thieves". If Joseph II had died here, it would have been in vain. Fortunately, he was only angry, and with the help of the priest, Joseph II saved his life.

It's just that the whole has been hit hard, and it will never be as high-spirited as before. …… The news of the warhammer kingdom splitting in two spread, and soon caused a major earthquake in the continent of Aslanth.

Despite the fact that they still retain their names and consider themselves orthodox, everyone knows that another kingdom has fallen.

"Eastern Warhammer Kingdom",

"Western Warhammer Kingdom", as you hear the name, is the result of a compromise between the two sides. In normal times, the Terran countries would have to intervene!

are all such willful plays, where will the royal power go? Even if it is still the Warhammer royal family that inherits the throne, everyone knows that the two new kings who have been baked in pink are most likely to be set aside.

If you want to struggle, you have no chance, and the royal family is ruined by Joseph II. The little bit of power that remains can keep the royal inheritance is the result of everyone's face.

What the monarchs of various countries think, Hudson didn't know, anyway, he was very satisfied with the current situation in the Warhammer Kingdom.

sometimes

"1+1" is not equal to 2, and the separation of the two contradictory interest groups reduces the opportunity to trap each other's teammates, but can play a greater role on the battlefield.

The next thing is to protect their own interests, and they are not afraid that they will not care. Even if the Warhammer Kingdom falls, there will still be many noble castles that will hold on.

The Ancient Relic Clan is just a general term, and I am afraid that only they can figure out how many races there are inside.

There are many people and many things, not to mention a multiracial alliance. At this moment, when fighting the world, we can still work together because of interests, and when we have results, it will be time to fall apart.

Not every race, has ambitions. Most of the ancient relics just want to get a land suitable for survival, and it is almost impossible to compete for the hegemony of the continent.

It's not that these people are unambitious, it's that the population of the race is limited. Especially those small clans with a population of only tens of thousands, let them fight for the hegemony of the continent, do you really think it is a dragon per capita?

In Hudson's opinion, as long as the Warhammer Kingdom survives the first wave, there will be a division within the Ancient Remnants.

Realizing that the Terrans are not easy to deal with, some races with no ambition will choose to take advantage of the good and turn to attack to clean up the rear.

For the Alpha Kingdom, one less enemy has one better chance of winning. Even if it's just a few small races, maybe it will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back at the critical moment.

Standing on the pavilion, watching the knights in the ring challenge to the monsters, looking down at the cheering crowd below, Hudson spotted the opening of a family

The "Colosseum" is also good. When the knights in their own territory are finished challenged, they can also relax the restrictions and use the slogan that whoever subdues the monster will belong to them, attracting knights from the outside world to come and challenge.

Not only can you sell tickets, but you can also charge an entry fee. Anyway, the last remaining demonic beasts are all diehards among the beasts, and they are not so easy to surrender, even if they win, most of them will fight in vain.

If you don't want to pay the money, you can just help once. Hudson was not demanding, and he could just follow suit during the Continental War.

"Mr. José, you came from the royal capital, how much do you know about the Colosseum?" Hudson asked with concern.

Even if the plan is good, it must be implemented. The entire southeastern province, and the Colosseum in Beda City, can explain a lot.

If the money in this industry was easy to make, the nobles everywhere would have followed suit a long time ago, and it would not have been promoted until now.

"Earl, the Colosseum is very simple to run, nothing more than a field, plus

"Beast" and

"People". In the case of mountain collars, it is not difficult to meet these conditions, the key is that it is difficult to make profits. Relying solely on ticket revenue, at most it can protect the capital, and the real money is still the gambling commission.

In addition, the sale of some food, the provision of special services, and the cost of compensation after a fight are also important sources of income.

Judging from the actual situation of the territory, unless the Colosseum is placed in the city of Dadir and attracts the nobles of the neighboring counties to come and watch, it will be difficult to break even. After listening to Jose's analysis, Hudson was also helpless.

The mountain collar seems to have all the organs, but this sparrow is too small after all. Light industry is textiles, and heavy industry is ironmaking.

But these are handicraft workshops, and the workers are completely dependent on him, the lord. Spending power, it's a joke.

Even if Hudson was willing to find gold as wages, these people would not be able to spend it, or would be reluctant to spend it.

Under the premise of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the provision of the lord, everyone's desire to consume is almost equal to zero.

Of course, their shriveled pockets also determine their low desires. Life goal: to eat well, and further pursuit: to eat well.

Spiritual pursuits, perhaps tickets can be given out as a reward. After all, who can't expect a bunch of guys who can't afford to spend a few copper coins in their pockets.

Raising everyone's income and changing the ration system to cash payment can only be imagined. Most of the revenue from the territory was used by Hudson to invest in the construction of the territory, and the other small part was used to raise the army.

The mountain leaders are still in a fiscal deficit, and there is no surplus value that can be taken out and distributed!

Internal purchasing power is not good, and external purchasing power is also not rising. Seeing that the war on the mainland is approaching, the nobles are busy expanding their armaments, who has spare money to spend?

"Then put the Colosseum in the city of Dadir! The rest of these demonic beasts are all stubborn, and they have been defeated more than a dozen times in a row, without the slightest intention of surrendering. Coercion and temptation, we have all tried, but it still has no effect, and the possibility of being recovered is already very low. simply took it out as a prize to attract knights from all over the world to come and challenge. According to our rules, whoever can make the monster surrender after the fight is good. The registration fee is set at fifty gold coins, and with such a small amount of money, in exchange for a chance to become a Warcraft Knight, I think there should be many people who take the bait. After all, it's much safer to challenge yourself in the ring than to try your luck outside. As long as a few lucky people succeed, the follow-up popularity will not be worried. In this way, even the money for hiring the Beastfighters was saved. If it's run well, maybe the Colosseum can still make some money. Of course, whether the Colosseum can make money or not is not the point, the key is to be able to promote the spirit of martial arts! "It's not the point of saying it, but it's all about the money.

The more war years there are, the more valuable the goods that can be strengthened. In the case of Warcraft cubs, for example, the price has soared by forty percent compared to before the outbreak of the Continental War.

This is because it needs to be cultivated for a long time, otherwise the price can rise even more fiercely. There is a chance to obtain the recognition of adult demonic beasts, even if it is only a low-level demonic beast, the little nobles will also flock to it.

Compared with ordinary knights, Warcraft knights have more advantages whether they have made achievements or run away after defeat.

Even if the success rate is low, there will be many people who can't help but come and try. It seems that the registration fee for one time is not much, but there is more than one monster left for them to challenge, and it is not a small amount after a round.

What's more, you can't sign up for the challenge right away. The time of queuing in the middle is also a lot to consume.

Whether it's food, clothing, housing, transportation, or going to a few games, they are all contributing profits to Lord Hudson.

If the income is good, Hudson doesn't mind not making the industry bigger and stronger, and capturing more monsters and putting them in the Colosseum.

When necessary, you can also open up to the monsters, feed them some Hastelloy growth potion, and stimulate the enthusiasm of the nobles to participate.

"Earl, will the knights in such a realm have an opinion? After all, our Warcraft Legion plan has only just begun, and there are many knights who are watching it with their eyes open. Jose said with a slight hesitation.

As an outsider, there are usually a lot of things to consider. Especially these things that touch the interests of local knights, they have to be cautious.

"Don't worry, I'll talk to you about it. Whoever has an opinion, let him come to me. All you need to do is elect one of the people responsible for the Colosseum. Hudson said with a steady.

The lack of Warcraft is only a temporary thing, and these days, neither Maxim nor Bear Stearns have been idle.

Every day, I go out early and return late, and even go out for several days in a row, just to step on the Blackstone Mountains. When the situation is almost understood, it is time to act.

Of course, for the sake of safety, these monsters will not be sent to the mountain territory as soon as possible, but will have to make a big circle from the outside.

Even if there is a high-level demonic beast that tracks down the scent, it will first track it down to other places. What's more, since you want to act, it is also a measured action.

It's not to wipe out all the low-level demonic beasts in a certain area, and if there are a few fewer demonic beasts in each area, it won't cause any waves at all.

Originally, Warcraft was also the law of the jungle, and it was also a common thing in the world of Warcraft to grab a few low-level Warcraft to eat.

As long as it is not entrenched for a long time to grab territory, the local high-level demonic beasts will not care. Even if it is a head-on encounter, it is nothing more than a matter of fighting.

As long as you grasp the proportion, things are under control. The only problem is that there is a limited number of monsters that can be captured.

But that's nothing, the number of knights in the Mountain Territory is not much. Even if you add the entire Coslow family, you can't get together eight hundred knights.

Considering that the troops still need commanders, the Warcraft Legion only needs to have a three-hundred-man establishment. In the future, we will have to wait for the younger generation to grow up.

Not all knights are eligible to challenge Warcraft. Those little ones who have just become knights are not opponents of Warcraft at all, and can only raise Warcraft cubs.

It seems that the gap is very large, but the actual demand is not as much as expected. The main purpose of continuing to capture Warcraft is to increase the survivability of the officers on the battlefield.

You must know that most of these people are brought out by Hudson. I don't dare to say how rebellious my abilities are, at least they all came out of the sea of corpses and blood.
