I have to admit that luck is really important. The eyes of the entire continent were drawn to the southern continent, and the Duchy of Moxi took advantage of the situation to annex half of the Warhammer Kingdom.

The two elders were having a good time, and the Terran Alliance pretended not to see it, and it was impossible to hold a meeting at such a time.

There is no place to protest, let alone the international community to intervene.

The exiled Warhammer Kingdom government was forced to suffer, and like countless unlucky small nations, the dream of restoration was shattered.

After creating the established fact of annexation, the Alpha Kingdom immediately recognized the legitimacy of the Moxies' rule over the Warhammer Kingdom, and then the three Central Continents followed suit.

Within the encirclement of the Interracial Alliance, the Three Kingdoms of the Central Continent and the Northern Continent are all miserable and unlucky people who are connected by the same fate.

After suffering a loss, the five countries have no confidence in the major forces of several clans in the Southern Continent, and it has become a natural thing to huddle together for warmth.

The government of the Warhammer Kingdom in exile has no value to the four countries in crisis, and it is inevitable that they will be betrayed.

Not even a betrayal, to be exact. Throughout, neither the Alpha Kingdom nor the Three Central Continents recognized the legitimacy of Warhammer's government-in-exile.

Even if they elected a king, established a restoration agency, and had legal inheritance, it would not make any sense.

If you want to divide the family, you can merge if you want to merge, and you can play everyone like a monkey!

Anyway, the territory occupied by the Moses was recovered from the foreign army, and they did not directly seize the territory of the Warhammer Kingdom.

Both sides have a legal basis for swearing an oath to this land, which is itself a lake account, and anyone can support it.

The current embarrassing situation is actually caused by the powerful people of the Warhammer Kingdom themselves. It would have been a different story if they had stayed and held out until the expeditionary corps arrived.

In the Emerald Palace, Caesar IV is now miserable and happy. There is no surprise, the previous deal with the Moxies was still discovered by everyone.

The queen suddenly increased the dowry of six provinces, and to say that there was no behind-the-scenes deal would be to insult everyone's intelligence.

It's just that the incident happened suddenly, and by the time everyone realized it, the matter had already settled.

There is no evidence that the king and the Moses are engaged in insider trading, and it is just logical reasoning, which cannot be put on the table at all.

The issue of dowry, that is a matter between the royal families of the two countries, and the courtiers have no right to interfere.

The big nobles who couldn't find substantive faults in the procedure and were unwilling to suffer losses have vented their grievances in their own ways in recent days, and Caesar IV was anxious for a while.

Fortunately, this piece of meat was fat enough, and the oil and water in his mouth soothed his wounded heart.

"Humph!"

After a cold snort, Caesar IV casually threw away the fold. There was no accident, and it was again to give him eye medicine.

I have to admit that these big nobles are chicken thieves, and they never mention the "dowry of the six major provinces", but everything has something to do with it.

The new control area is not enough to get in your hands, but also to consider the security of the territory.

The noble lords, who had suffered a great loss, now insisted that the kingdom's defense plan had been determined, and could not easily change it, and refused to fulfill their obligations to the strategic security of these six provinces.

"These bastards, do you think that without them, we won't be able to defend the land of these six provinces!

It's ...... to be unsightly."

Caesar IV's angry scolding made the royal family elders very embarrassed. They really can't answer these words.

The current Alpha royal family, which nominally controls twelve provinces, has actually developed only three.

The three provinces that were developed were not owned by the king alone, but also included the domains of members of the royal family and some retainers.

If it is really invaded by foreign enemies, the power that the royal family can mobilize may not be able to hold it.

Of course, as a king, even if he doesn't use the king's *** team, Caesar IV can still cast the Great Summoning Technique.

Countless aristocratic side branches are waiting for the opportunity, as long as they promise enough benefits, they will not worry

No one helped him.

The only problem is that the enemy cannot be too strong, and the combat effectiveness of this kind of improvised army can never be reassured.

"Your Majesty, everyone is also worried about the kingdom, there are some things you don't need to take to heart."

The Prime Minister, the Archduke of Newfoundland, stepped forward to persuade him.

In this transaction, the king did a good job, but the monarch's desire to control also rose.

In his opinion, the royal family eats alone, and it is not a big deal to make people complain a few words.

The kingdom's defense plan cannot be easily changed, but it is not impossible to change. In essence, it is still a matter of political bargaining, and there is no need to make a fuss at all.

After a few days, everyone's anger has almost disappeared, and when we come back to talk, things will be much easier.

Anyway, the Ancient Relic Alliance is digesting the results of the battle, and it has no time to provoke trouble for a while, and there is still a period of peace in the border area.

"Forget it, just ignore these troublesome guys. The Near East strategy has just been launched, so you should all keep an eye on it, and don't make a mess.

As long as the situation in the Near East is stabilized, there will be no major chaos in the northern continent.

While the orcs were busy with infighting, they hurriedly built the Crescent Harbor to lay the foundation for subsequent development.

There are too many hidden dangers buried in this continental war, and I have an ominous premonition that the Aslant continent will not be peaceful for a few years.

Calculating the time, it is not long before the 10,000-year catastrophe that often appears in the history books.

It's all to blame on the idiots in the Southern Continent, all of them have small calculations, and they didn't grasp the opportunity to destroy the interracial alliance.

If the alien race is strangled cleanly, no matter how the situation develops in the future, the continent of Aslant will be the world of my human race!"

Caesar IV's complaint startled everyone. If the king hadn't mentioned it, they would have forgotten the legend of the "Ten Thousand Years Tribulation".

There is no way, too much time has passed, and there is too little information left. Based on just a few words in the history books, I don't know what happened 10,000 years ago.

Even if some ancient tombs have been excavated, not much information has been obtained from them. A lot of the content is also contradictory, and it is impossible to distinguish between the true and the false.

The only thing that can prove the existence of the "10,000-year tribulation" is the replacement of the continental hegemon. Most of the hegemons started at this point in time and gradually went into decline.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the outbreak of the "Ten Thousand Years Tribulation" does not mean that the overlord of the continent will definitely change, and the elven race has borne two rounds of impact, and it has gradually declined after encountering the third wave.

"Your Majesty, it's just a legend that can't be determined whether it's true or not, why bother with it, it's just a historical coincidence.

Continental melee, invasion of evil gods, invasion of the abyss, and the arrival of evil spirits...... Are these things happening less on the mainland?

We have not encountered disasters that may be triggered by a cult organization if it engages in a major operation."

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Marquis delgado, said with a nonchalant expression.

The various ethnic groups on the mainland are fighting, and there is no need to worry about it at all. The current interracial alliance is dominated by the elves, and as long as the human race does not take the initiative to start a big war, the elves will not want to start a war.

If it weren't for understanding the shortcomings of the elven race, and knowing that even if they were given a hundred years, their strength would not be much stronger, and the continental war would not have ended so easily.

It doesn't matter if you don't know what the 10,000-year tribulation is, just stare at a few big forces that inherit the ancient world. As long as these guys don't panic, then everything is still under control.

The invasion of the different planes also depends on what plane it encounters. If you encounter the abyss and the undead realm, then you can only consider yourself unlucky, and you will only have "bitterness" from beginning to end.

If you encounter a weaker plane, no one will invade!

"Okay, I'll just sigh. According to the records in the data, the time cycle of the 10,000-year tribulation is not fixed, it can be advanced by more than ten years, or it can be delayed by several decades, and the duration is uncertain.

If you're lucky, none of us in my generation will encounter it, so let's think about the current crisis first!

The noble lords around are in a mood, and I can pretend not to see, but wade

As for matters related to the Near East strategy, no one should be allowed to sabotage them.

If you're going to have too much trouble dealing with it, throw it to Field Marshal Hudson, he's been busy lately!"

Caesar IV said with a depressed face.

Everyone carved up the Warhammer Kingdom together, but in the end, he was scolded alone, and you can imagine how depressed he was.

It's just that these things can't be put on the table, so as not to cause a bigger ***, he can only bear the grievances of the big nobles alone.

……

Countless young men and women gathered in the square, lined up in long lines, anxiously waiting for the test results.

Those who were able to come and queue up had gone through three rounds of screening in advance.

In the first round of screening of the origin, it is not required to be a prominent background, at least it must be innocent.

Now is different from the past, after cultivating a large number of grassroots talents, the full-fledged Lord Hudson no longer needs to rely on "spies" to govern the territory.

The original "spy" either took the initiative to surrender and was accepted, or accidentally died on the battlefield.

has the opportunity to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, not only because they have made great contributions to the territory, but more importantly, their original masters have also defected.

In fact, to use the word "spy" to describe them is to look down on them.

With Hudson's status as a young baron at the time, it was not worth the big price for everyone to send well-trained spies to lurk.

Some of them are the disciples of the lords, and the other part are the children of the declining nobles who are threatened or bribed to help pass on information.

The higher Hudson's status, the more panicked the nobles who planted spies in the Mountain Realm. lest he be discovered by Hudson one day, and directly bring someone to the door to settle the account.

After suffering for a while, the small and medium-sized nobles who could not bear the pressure successively expressed their sincerity to Hudson.

In order to appease people's hearts, Hudson generously said that he didn't care. It's just that the spies who expose their identities are inevitably kicked out of the center of power and engaged in some work that does not involve secrecy.

In front, Hudson's family background was too weak, and the territory was seriously lacking in talents, so he had to use his talents first when he had no choice but to use them.

Now that the wings are full, "loyalty" has become the primary factor in selecting talents. Hudson was not willing to spend a lot of money to train talent for the enemy.

In the second round, the daily performance is screened and the conduct of the person is preliminarily examined.

Frankly, this is a very ambiguous hurdle that cannot be quantified. As long as you don't have a female offense and don't have a tendency to oppose the lord, you can basically pass the test.

The third round is the qualification screening.

Because the population of the current territory is too large, and the number of magicians is too small, it is impossible to do the national testing at all, so Hudson simply disclosed the early meditation method and the knight basic training method.

Relying on these things alone, naturally there are no big results in practice, but it is enough to determine the cultivation qualifications.

The current fourth round of testing is the only way to truly determine the quality of cultivation qualifications, so as to determine the future direction of cultivation.

This comprehensive selection model is also a challenge to the Kingdom's current talent selection mechanism. A year ago, Hudson would not have dared to play with such fanfare.

Now it's different, under the banner of developing the Near East, some behaviors that are slightly out of the ordinary are acceptable to everyone.

In the past, the kind of elite selection from soldiers, and then teaching the Dou Qi cultivation method, and screening out soldiers with cultivation qualifications from them, is now obviously unable to meet the requirements.

Hudson had already completed the qualification test in the army, and the soldiers with cultivation qualifications had all obtained the cultivation method.

It's a pity that there are too few people with cultivation qualifications, and even fewer people with good talents. After screening the tens of thousands of troops in the territory, including a group of reserve soldiers, there are more than 4,000 people in total who have cultivation qualifications, and only half of them have cultivation value.

This ratio is far lower than that of the children of the nobility. Obviously, the bloodline theory circulating in the Aslant continent is not completely unfounded.

In Hudson's view, though, this is more like the self-evolution of human beings.

Just like selecting seeds, the seeds with the largest and fullest grains will most likely produce better yields and quality.

The parents of the children of the nobility awakened the cultivation talent, and the essence of life was sublimated, and this talent had a certain probability of being passed on.

After continuous optimization and screening from generation to generation, the probability of noble children having cultivation qualifications far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Not only is the probability of having cultivation qualifications high, but even the qualification grade is relatively high. This is also one of the reasons why it is easier to give birth to strong people by inheriting the ancient nobles.

Looking at the converging test results, Hudson had a new understanding of the class solidification of the continent of Aslant.

Fortunately, the base number of commoner children is large enough, even if the number of people with cultivation qualifications is less than one-tenth, it is still a considerable number after this large base.

"Duke, this is a statistical test result.

A total of 926 people aged 12 to 18 in the territory possess magical talents, including 469 with inferior talents, 376 with inferior talents, 72 with medium talents, and 9 with superior talents.

There are a total of 24,867 people with knight cultivation talents, including 14,346 inferior talents, 8,764 inferior talents, and ...... medium talents."

Listening to Kane's debriefing, Hudson frowned. That's a lot less than he expected.

Counting the royal family and the refugees allocated by the kingdom, the current mountain territory has a population of two million. The population of 12~18 years old alone is enough for 300,000.

What's worse is that having cultivation qualifications does not mean that there is cultivation value. Cultivating inferior talents is a pure waste of resources.

There is no problem in making up for the shortcomings of diligence, provided that there is a large amount of resource investment. The cultivation qualifications of these people in front of them all depend on Hudson's grants, where can they get so many resources for them to squander.

This kind of test may not be completely accurate, if you awaken some special physique in the later stage, or encounter an adventure, it is still possible to change your qualifications.

"Inferior talents, just let them go back! Tell them that if they have cultivated their qi sense within three years, they can come back.

If someone can persist in cultivating every day, they can not be assigned tasks for three years, and their daily ration can be increased by 0.5 pounds of fish and meat.

Those who have a talent for magic are assigned to the Wizards' Regiment.

The rest of the boys were all put into the reserve, and those with inferior qualifications were trained in the direction of warriors, and those with intermediate and upper qualifications were trained in the direction of knights.

Girls are left to choose whether or not to stay, except for all of the higher qualifications. If you choose to stay, then you will be trained according to the same standards."

Hudson said with a sigh.

He gave the opportunity, but whether these people can grasp it is an unknown.
