The biggest characteristic of young people is that they dare to do things. After receiving Hudson's prompt, Raquel reported to the royal capital without thinking about it.

This kind of thing is still a headache for the high-level of the principality!

Although Raquel, as the son of an old nobleman, hates this kind of rule-breaking practice, compared to the principality's strategy, it is acceptable to occasionally break the bottom line.

Besides, is there still less bottom line broken by the Principality of Moxi?

From the beginning of the orc invasion, the Duchy of Moxi has passively opened the "road of top-down improvement".

Again and again, the original political system has long since changed imperceptibly. The aristocracy's thinking now has changed from sticking to tradition to surviving.

The choice of external expansion is essentially due to the fact that the top leaders of the Principality of Moxi are frightened by the successive wars and have no sense of security at all, and their sense of crisis drives them to find ways to strengthen themselves.

Among the many strategies for enriching countries and strengthening the army, the plan that has the least impact on everyone's interests and is the easiest to succeed is naturally external expansion.

Eyeing the Warhammer Kingdom, that's because this neighbor is in great decline, and a group of powerful people are stupid to pack themselves up and send them to the door.

To put it bluntly, once the two sides officially turn their faces, they can dispose of the Warhammer Kingdom high-level as soon as possible.

……

"What do you think of the front's proposal to canonize the nobles?"

George asked with a deliberate change of concept.

There is no problem with canonizing the nobility, it is an indispensable activity after every great war. It is another thing to canonize commoners as nobles.

When it comes to sensitive topics that challenge the unspoken rules, even the king will inevitably have a headache.

"Your Majesty, now is the perfect time to expand westward. It's worth paying some price for it.

The Warhammer Kingdom is a big country after all, and no matter how much it declines, it has some strength, and if it is not handled well, the subsequent rule will be very troublesome.

If the local powerful faction does not have a big appetite, it is also a good choice to take the opportunity to pull them into the principality. ”

Count Martins was the first to support.

The bottom line is for breakthroughs. Being able to encroach on the territory of the Warhammer Kingdom by non-violent means is undoubtedly the best option.

It's worth causing some controversy for this. It's all an internal affair of the principality, and as long as you are thick-skinned enough, it's a big deal to be ridiculed.

Anyway, now that all countries are busy with continental wars, if they want to intervene, they can't do it.

"Your Majesty, Count Martins is right. It's just a matter of getting promoted to the nobility, and we'll just follow the usual rules. ”

Prime Minister Hercheg opened his eyes and told nonsense without changing his face.

The war destroyed not only the old order, but also the original household registration data. As the victor, if you modify the information, the commoners and serfs will become the declining aristocracy.

With so many nobles killed in the Warhammer Kingdom, it was only natural for them to inherit each other's titles as relatives.

There is one more program, and that is the game within the system. The children of the nobility pledged allegiance to the Duchy of Moxi, and it was perfectly in line with the rules to canonize them as nobles.

……

"Miss Delis, we're meeting again."

In a way that he thought was kind, he greeted the other party, and as expected, he ushered in a roll of the eyes. Hudson was not angry in the slightest, just because the other party had come to sign the contract.

The two sides reached an agreement, but there was still a lack of mutual trust. In order to ensure that the treaty can be fulfilled, according to the prior agreement, the senior management of both sides must sign the contract.

As the military elder of the kingdom, Hudson naturally couldn't hide.

Glancing at the contract document, there were already dozens of high-level members of the kingdom and the elven clan who had signed it, including the elven sanctuary in front of him, who was also on the list, and now Hudson was missing.

After glancing at the contents of the contract and making sure that there were no problems, Hudson directly signed his name on it.

At the moment when the pen fell, he felt a mysterious force fall on his body, and suddenly the mysterious compass in his body moved, as if to break free from the shackles of this force, Hudson hurriedly intervened.

It's good to break free from the power of contract, but it definitely can't be now. Doing things in front of other people's Sanctuary Elves is too contemptuous.

At the moment, both the kingdom and Hudson personally need to stabilize the elves. As for the follow-up questions, I'll talk about it later.

This time it was only a non-aggression pact, and there was still a Principality of Moxi between the two sides, so under normal circumstances, there would be no fight at all.

If nothing else, the top brass of the Principality of Moxi will also be forced to sign a unilateral promise: a treaty not to send troops.

The strength and the right to speak are equal, and the elves can calmly talk to the Alpha Kingdom, which does not mean that they will also give the Moxi people the same treatment.

"Marshal Hudson, the contract has come into effect, you should release him."

Delith said in as calm a tone as she could.

During the days when the two were in contact, she had been suffering. If it weren't for the fact that there were still many clansmen in the prisoner of war camp, she wouldn't have given a good face.

"Miss Delis, it's impossible to release them, but you can meet them first.

By the way, the care of the captives has been handed over to the Warhammer Resistance. You can communicate with them about specific matters.

In recent days, the coalition forces of the Ancient Relic have been frequented. Prisoner of war camps have been attacked many times, but we have stepped up our vigilance to ensure the safety of prisoners of war. ”

Hudson said without a leak.

It is impossible to release people, and the only way to take people out of the camp is to rob them.

The expeditionary force has elven captives in their hands, which has long been known to everyone, but it cannot disappear without explanation.

Hudson, who cherished feathers, didn't want to leave a stain on the surface.

"Farewell!"

After saying that, Delis turned around and left. The meaning of not waiting to be seen is directly revealed.

Seeing this scene, Hudson smiled slightly. It's not a good thing to get too close to the top of the different races.

Don't look at the kingdom to be secretive, there will definitely be a day of exposure in the future. Maybe when the time will come to turn over old scores, there is never tenderness in politics.

The deeper the mixture, the harder it will be to get out in the future.

This threat is not only coming from abroad, but also from within the country.

For the sake of secrecy, this plan was known only to a few high-ranking members of the kingdom. At best, the remaining nobles of the kingdom had some guesses, but they were not sure exactly what had happened.

During the war, everyone could understand that this was "for the kingdom", but after the war ended, there were bound to be many people who deliberately pretended to be painted and used as an excuse to play on the topic.

Once there was a disturbance, King Caesar IV was certainly the first to bear the brunt, but Hudson, the marshal, was inevitably criticized.

Wartime heroes, postwar sinners, not once or twice in human history.

As a powerful faction, Hudson is not worried about being liquidated, but the stain can be avoided, and it should be avoided as much as possible.

"Pass the order, the expeditionary force will return home tomorrow!"

The actors of all parties are in place, and if he, the boss, does not leave, the drama of the Warhammer Kingdom will not be able to sing.

……

In a deserted manor, several high-ranking members of the Tegusta Resistance gathered to discuss the future fate of the organization.

"Well, do you think the Moxiese promise is reliable?"

Baxter, the leader, asked uncertainly.

As a mercenary, he always fantasized about becoming a nobleman. But after really working hard, he realized how unreliable this idea was.

I'm working hard, and no one else is idle! The children of the aristocracy are not able to get involved internally, so there is no room for outsiders to interfere.

Military merit knighthood, just listen to it. If you want to achieve military merit, you must first win the battle.

The problem is that in the last few years, except for the time when there was a civil war between their own people, the kingdom's army has been beaten and fled.

Victory or defeat on the battlefield is not something that a small soldier has the ability to change. Joining in is nothing more than cannon fodder +1.

It's all about licking blood from the knife edge, working hard for the nobles, it's better to be a mercenary, at least you can earn more.

If it weren't for the development of the situation, which pushed him to the forefront, Baxter would never have dreamed that he would be able to pull up an army.

The lack of vision and the sequelae are revealed at this moment.

At the moment of life and death, everyone has no superfluous ideas, and he will naturally have no problem when he comes out to lead the resistance.

With the gradual improvement of the situation, the future fate of the group must be considered.

Jin Ge has fought on the iron horse, and if he wants everyone to go back to be serfs who are not well fed and clothed, it is difficult for everyone to adapt.

"Big brother, whether he's real or fake, you have to try it. As long as you are willing to canonize us as nobles, why not work for them!

We brothers can't fight hard to build a foundation, and we will cheapen the country of children who can only flee for their lives......"

After all, he was still jealous, and when the words came to his mouth, Scarface still forcibly swallowed back.

After the separation of the Eastern and Western Warhammer Kingdoms, the two princes who succeeded to the throne were both empty monarchs, and the power fell directly into the hands of the great nobles.

The two unlucky kings, who had not had time to do anything since they succeeded to the throne, hurriedly fled for their lives to the king, and their reputation among the people naturally fell to the bottom.

But it doesn't hurt to think about it, and everyone is still very cowardly to publicly accuse the king.

Those who dare to point at the king's nose and scold, those are "warriors", and more ordinary people are still full of awe of the royal power.

"Big brother, Scar is right.

The Mossi people wooed us, and finally promised to knight everyone. When the time comes, big brother, you will become a lord, and we will also be able to make a knight.

The representatives sent by the nobles in the country looked arrogant all day long, and they had no fart ability except for the loud shouting.

Why did our brothers kill a lot of foreign races, and also recovered a lot of lost territory for the kingdom, and we should also reward a knighthood when rewarding meritorious deeds!

Ten years of goddamn tax exemption, bullying us as if we hadn't seen any money. It's even more ridiculous to be incorporated into the regular army, and I'm ashamed of the kingdom's army!

Behave well and be their retainer, I bah!

Obviously, he just wants us to work for nothing, and he doesn't want to give benefits. If you really become their retainers, won't everyone's military exploits become theirs? ”

The thin young man snorted angrily.

Frankly, the conditions offered by the Warhammer nobles were not low. Under the current system, there is only so much they can give.

Title?

That was purely thinking too much, and the puppet king pushed out by the Warhammer nobles, after receiving the news of the great victory of the expeditionary force, was momentarily excited and "fell into the water".

Everyone was so busy fighting for power that they didn't have time to investigate the cause of the accident for a while. Anyway, they are all puppets, and if they die, they can be replaced.

There's nothing wrong with that, but the rules still have to be followed. Without the permission of the king, he promised to be knighted without authorization, and a rebellious hat was put on.

The best condition that can be given is to be accepted as a retainer. Retainers are also nobles, but the nobles canonized by the big nobles have much lower gold content.

Usually in the territory of the great nobles, they can obtain the same rights and interests as the nobles; But in the outside world, all kinds of political power do not have their share.

If people give face, they will admit that you are a nobleman, or if you don't give face, then you are an ordinary commoner.

Even if the lord generously divides the fiefdom, his political status will still not change.

"But they want us to rob ......"

Before Baxter could finish speaking, Scarface was the first to speak: "Big brother, the robbers have to be named."

If the brethren have not achieved an inch, why should the Moses canonize us as nobles?

You must know that after completing the task, the highest can be canonized as a viscount, which is to be able to obtain a city + several large towns of fiefdoms!

What do our brothers want when the time comes? For the sake of wealth in the second half of his life, how can he fight it. ”

……

"After passing the steel defense line, even if I return to my homeland, I don't know how far the situation in the country has developed.

Tell everyone to speed up. At this critical juncture, we must join in the reconquest! ”

Marshal Borg said in a firm tone.

It's a pity that the sadness between the eyebrows can't be concealed. Once he lost his footing, he hated it for eternity, and if he had known that he would be able to counterattack and regain lost ground so quickly, he would not have been in a hurry to run out.

There is no regret medicine in reality, and in the situation at that time, neither the Eastern and Western Warhammer Kingdoms could see any hope.

According to the initial estimate, the entire Northern Continent will fall, and at most, the remaining provinces of the Alpha Kingdom will hold out to the end.

In order to preserve the strength of the restored country, they had to order a retreat in order to preserve the living forces.

Anyway, there is always a separation between the plan and the reality. In the process of retreating, the kingdom's army collapsed first, and a large number of routs and refugees were mixed together.

As long as the evacuation can be successful, a few changes are nothing. It is a pity that the Moses stabbed them at a critical moment and forcibly absorbed the defeated army of the exiled past.

The army was gone all of a sudden, and their bargaining chips for the restoration of the country were also lost. It was too late to appeal to the Terran Alliance, and the time for a great counteroffensive had come again.

The sudden change in the situation forced them to strengthen diplomatic public relations on the one hand, and reorganize the army to return to China to compete for dominance.

This time the operation was half the battle, and the diplomatic relations went very well, and all parties expressed their support for their reinstatement.

As for the army, there is no need to think about it, it has long been sent to the front line by the Moses to be cannon fodder. Even if you want to withdraw, you can't get it back.

What's more, they are also worried about forcibly withdrawing the army, triggering the collapse of the battle line and sabotaging the cauldron of the coalition's resistance to foreign invasions.

In a hurry, he pulled out an army from the refugees and hurriedly returned to China to participate in the power struggle.

Many times, anxiety must also be raised. Under the banner of fighting against the aliens, the Mossi people kept urging them to set off, but they couldn't refuse.

was originally a marshal who was highly respected by the countrymen, but because of the previous evacuation, he was infamous and lost his popularity.

At the very least, the armed groups that remained in the Warhammer Kingdom resisted had no good impression of them, the powerful people who had fled.

"Whoosh ......"

"Enemy attack!"

The sudden rain of arrows from both sides stunned the team in an instant. Isn't this place recovered, how can there still be enemies?

After seeing the enemy clearly, Marshal Borg's face changed dramatically. Where there is a foreign race, it is clearly a human race.

He was not low in political acumen, and he realized the danger in an instant. Subconsciously asked, "Who are you, and why are you ambushing us?" ”

He was greeted by an even more fierce attack from the enemy, and no one answered his questions at all. Obviously, this is a group of enemies who don't understand the rules of the aristocracy, and they don't even want the most basic etiquette.

From the ordnance used by the enemy to attack, Marshal Borg quickly recognized that this was the standard equipment of his own kingdom, and the identity of the enemy was also clear, and he was a proper member of the resistance armed group.

Internal power struggles are often more intense than external struggles. Unfortunately, it is normal to get in the way of others, and it is normal to cause death.

Don't talk about aristocratic rules, but the enemy is not a nobleman! Maybe one day they will come out and uphold the rules, but that will be after they become nobles.

"You bastards, are you actually provoking infighting at such a time, for fear that the kingdom will not be destroyed?"

Roaring filial piety can't solve the problem, from the moment of doing it, the two sides are endless.

"Kill!"

Marshal Borg ordered indifferently.

Full of anger was mobilized, at this moment he didn't want to think so much, and he was bent on killing all the enemies in front of him.

At about the same time, the great nobles who had returned from abroad were subjected to similar attacks.

It was as if their whereabouts were in the hands of the enemy. No matter which way you go, you can't escape this catastrophe.

Some people escaped by chance, but many more fell on the battlefield forever.

As one of the few victors, after defeating his enemies, Borg sat in a pool of blood in a dejected state.

The hands were stained with blood on each other, which meant that the infighting in the kingdom had escalated further, and there was no room for ease on all sides.

】

You know, even when the Eastern and Western Warhammer Kingdoms were fighting, no one was ambushed like this.

"Marshal, you must cheer up, otherwise what will happen to the kingdom?"

The middle-aged officer's persuasion made Borg smile wryly. The more you know, the more troubles you have.

"Cohen, the situation is completely out of control. If these resistance forces dare to come and kill us, they will see us as mortal enemies.

You have seen the eyes of the enemy soldiers, and perhaps in their eyes, we deserters are the cancer of the kingdom and must be cleaned up.

If we had gone into the mountains and resisted, perhaps the situation would have been very different now.

The kingdom has already declined to the extreme, and now there is still endless infighting, and we are afraid that we will not be able to go on the next road to recovery.

I have a hunch that there is a force behind these people who are plotting. Otherwise, they would never have dared to do so!

No, the enemy's conspiracy began long ago. Perhaps from the moment we entered the Duchy of Moxi, we were caught in a great conspiracy.

It's all my fault for being careless, when Your Majesty fell into the water and died, it should have aroused vigilance! ”

As he spoke, Borg gave himself two big mouths. With such an obvious flaw, he was able to ignore the past.

The king fell into the water and died, this is the first time such a bloody thing has happened in the continent of Aslanth.

The first time it happened, they hung up at one time, and they happened to be on the same boat.

At that time, everything was normal, after all, those two unlucky kings were all waste snacks carefully selected by them, and they did a lot of death in the country.

If you think about it, it's full of flaws. The guards who take turns guarding the king happen to be landlubbers who don't know how to water.

After the accident, it was the Moxies who rescued the two unlucky kings. The person did not lose his breath on the spot, but the Lord of the Morning Light who saw him during the treatment.

That's right, both unlucky eggs died under the Krypton Healing. The priest who came to the rescue was still in exile together, and Borg knew him.

They had no motive to kill the king, so the problem was with the Mossi who brought the king ashore.

It's a pity that everything was guessed out of thin air, no problems were found at the time, and it was too late to investigate at this moment.

The main reason is that the two unlucky kings are puppets, and they are still in a hurry to ascend the throne, and they have not yet had time to be recognized by the countries of the mainland.

No one could have imagined that someone would assassinate these two puppets.

"Marshal, could it be that you are thinking too much. If the mastermind behind this is the Arfa, why should the expeditionary force be in a hurry to evacuate? ”

The middle-aged officer shook his head and said.

"Nonsense, I also know it's not an Arfa. If they had ambitions for the kingdom, they would not have withdrawn all their armies.

And don't forget the Moses, who are no less ambitious than the Arfans! ”

It's okay not to explain, but once you explain, everyone won't believe it. Isn't it a joke that the tiny Duchy of Moxi dares to plot against the Warhammer Kingdom?

But after laughing, everyone's faces changed drastically. Where is there any Warhammer Kingdom now, there are just two grass platform teams, plus a group of messy warlords.

Dragons have no leader, and they can dominate one side; But the sheep have no leader, but they can't resist the prying eyes of the wolves.

Unfortunately, their role is sheep at the moment. Now, no matter who is in power, they can't convince the public.

All his prestige has been lost, and Marshal Borg, who used to be a man of his word, has also lost his appeal at this moment.

The best option is to quickly introduce a king and establish diplomatic relations with the nations. The most legally appropriate is undoubtedly the abdication of Joseph II.

It's just that this one was ousted by everyone together, and then let him take the throne, that is, the kingdom is not chaotic enough.

As soon as the idea of a different candidate came to mind, Borg never got back on it.

The only problem is that there is such a thing as choosing a king, he alone does not count, and he must win the support of the major factions.

In his mind, pulling out all the royal family members and comparing and screening them one by one, Borg was quickly confused.

There are a bunch of puppet king candidates, and they can clean up the current mess, but they can't find it.

It's not that the royal family doesn't have elites, but that these elites have had accidents for various reasons in the previous infighting.
