Chapter 228, confusing
Without any surprise, Stark, who had been prepared for a long time, ascended to the patriarch's throne as he wished.
It's a pity that because of the appearance, this wave of forced elections did not convince all the Minotaurs.
In particular, the chiefs of several large tribes had their faces more ugly than the other.
There is actually a person who plays with intrigue among the upright minotaurs, it is simply ......
Dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and the election is still legal and valid.
The road to the unification of the Minotaur clan is still a big step forward. However, whether Stark, the patriarch, can sit firmly depends on the subsequent performance.
"Patriarch Stark, today is a good day for you to be elected.
I have prepared so well in advance, I think I must have real insight into the development of my Minotaur clan! ”
Chief Primrose's yin and yang weird connotation.
It's just that he didn't grab the position of patriarch, and he was actually yin by competitors, who can swallow this breath?
The results of the patriarch election could not be overturned, but Stark wanted to secure the patriarch's position, and Primrose was the first to refuse.
Perhaps he had expected all this, but Stark, who was forced into the palace, was not only not annoyed, but said with a smile on his face: "Today I can be elected as the patriarch, because of everyone's love."
Sitting in this position, Stark realized that there was a great deal of responsibility.
The Minotaur clan has been divided for a long time, and reuniting will not be done overnight, and it will require the joint efforts of all of us.
In particular, we are still carrying out the task of defending the border, and we need all the more sincere unity.
This is no longer the case.
The Alpha Kingdom has risen, and the empire has not overwhelmed the enemy's military power for a short time. This means that for a long time to come, we border races will not have a good life.
Especially since we are still neighbors with the Great Demon King, the slightest carelessness is a disaster of overturn.
There are too many lessons from the past, and almost all the big clans in the empire have suffered big losses at the hands of the Great Demon King.
Even the powerful Eagle Man Imperial Family is now greatly damaged, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover to its peak state within fifty years.
The Beamon clan, who had previously carried out the task of garrisoning the border, now also suffered heavy losses.
Other victims, that's more.
In the face of such an enemy, we must adopt flexible responses. As a last resort, you can't face the Great Demon King! ”
When he said "flexible", Stark deliberately accentuated his tone. Obviously, there is a deeper meaning to "flexible" here.
The Minotaur chieftains present were not fools, and they understood Stark's meaning for the first time.
"Patriarch Stark, what exactly is your flexible response?
What about the Empire? ”
Primrose continued to ask.
If he could, he would have torn Stark to pieces, but the situation was different.
No matter how unhappy he was with the new patriarch, he had to admit that Stark's picture of the situation was the reality that the Minotaurs were facing.
If these problems are not dealt with well, then there is no power dispute to consider. I don't know, one day I'll go to see the beast god in a daze.
"Chief Primrose, I think you should understand what I mean, it was all done by the tribes of the border before, and we are nothing more than following suit.
As for the Empire, as long as we can stabilize the situation on the front line, they should be secretly happy. How can we trouble with it!
Even if you really get caught, it's a big deal to wait for an opportunity to fight with a few human lords who are easy to bully, cut off a few heads, and go back to the business.
However, in order to grasp the degree of it, the battle must be carried out within the territory of the empire, and cannot go deep into the territory of the Alpha Kingdom. ”
Stark said calmly.
There is no doubt that the few heads in his mouth are really only a few heads.
In order not to get into trouble, even the battlefield is limited to the territory of the empire.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to object, Primrose hesitated again.
With the strength of the Minotaur clan, this is undoubtedly the best choice. If you foolishly fight the enemy, you may be wiped out one day.
……
Kingdom of Hesse, province of Michia.
In a dark castle, representatives of cult organizations from all over the mainland gathered, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.
"This is a freshly taken pink rose, please enjoy it!"
As he spoke, the Lord of Darkness lifted the lid in front of him, revealing two beating hearts and a bright red drink beside him.
The hall was instantly polarized.
Some of the cult leaders directly held knives and forks, opened their hearts, and commented from time to time.
For these true demons, the heart and blood of the maiden are the best food.
The other part of the cult leaders frowned, and although they were as murderous as they were, they did not degenerate to the point of eating human flesh and drinking human blood.
"Dark, if you have something to say, just say it!
It took so much effort to invite us from all over the mainland, just to invite everyone to taste your pink roses, right? ”
The Skeleton Lord at the bottom said angrily.
is also a cult camp, and everyone has their own ways to play. Compared to the notorious Nether Cult, the Skeleton Society is as pure as a white rabbit.
"Haha......"
"Old skeleton, after all these years, you are still an anxious child.
According to my subordinates, your Skull and Bones Club has not had a good time in recent years.
First suffered a heavy blow in the Alpha Kingdom, and then lost a large part of the northern continent in the continental war, are you interested in turning over and doing a big vote? ”
As soon as the Lord of Darkness finished speaking, the Skeleton Lord's face became gloomy.
In recent years, the Skull and Bones Club has been unfavorable.
There are no eggs under the nest!
Many countries in the Northern Continent have been destroyed, and the local operation of the Skull and Bones Society will naturally be destroyed.
In a panic, they could only evacuate their men to the Alpha Kingdom for temporary refuge.
However, another order came from the headquarters of the Holy See, ordering them to launch an armed uprising, which led to them being severely damaged again.
Before they could recuperate, Alfa's strategy for the development of the Near East suddenly succeeded.
A large number of people have migrated, and social contradictions in the country have gradually eased, directly reducing the living space of cults.
Not only did it become more difficult to develop the congregation, but the risk of exposure also increased exponentially, and the slightest carelessness would lead to bloody suppression by the local aristocracy.
If this situation is not changed, it may not be long before the Skull and Bones Society will disappear into history due to the issue of inheritance.
"Darkness, do you think I'll believe it?
With the little strength of my skeleton club, I can barely survive, what can I do with a big vote! ”
The Skeleton Lord said disdainfully.
The most important thing in mixing among cults is not to be strong, but to have self-knowledge.
How much power to do how much, this is the main reason why the Skeleton Lord has been able to live until now.
Unless it has the ability to subvert the order, what should be low-key must be low-key.
But if they really have the ability to subvert the existing order, they will no longer be a cult.
"Jie Ji ......"
"Old skeleton, you're outdated.
If a single skeleton is not strong enough, can't it find someone to join forces?
All of you here are the best people in my evil ways, as long as we join forces, there is still hope for overthrowing a corrupt kingdom! ”
The Lord of Darkness said with a smile.
There is no problem, the cult organization unites to pull a rotten kingdom back, and the success rate is really not low.
The crux of the problem lies in the fact that cults are cults and their internal divisions are also varied.
The relationship between different cult organizations is not much better. Not only does he not have the sympathy for the same predicament, but he never has a soft hand when he falls into the well and stabs the knife in the back.
"Dear Lord of Darkness, which kingdom are you going to overthrow?
What do we have to gain when that happens? ”
Ryuki asked with concern.
As a representative of the July Society, he was completely out of place with everyone here.
As a member of a cult, the July Society is obviously not evil enough to even worship evil gods.
If it weren't for the black cauldron in the assassination of Prince Hesse that year, and they became famous in a passive battle, they would still be in the local small organization of the Alpha Kingdom.
Just because small regional organizations are weak doesn't mean they're weak. Because most of the members of the organization were the original declining nobles of the Northland, many people took advantage of the eastward expansion of Alpha and returned to the ranks of the nobles.
Troublesome things happened here. After returning to the ranks of the nobility, everyone's determination to rebel was no longer very strong.
In addition to the relatively unified stance of revenge on the five major families in the Northlands, on other issues, the July Society is already in a state of division.
Except for the unlucky ones like Ryuhi, who are on the wanted list and have no way to quit, most of the members of the July Society have become rational.
Looking at their performance in recent years, they can hardly be found except for the occasional assassination of a wave of members of the five major families of the Northlands.
Unlucky bastards, including Ryuxi, also began to waver in their hearts, and gradually inclined to compromise with the kingdom.
The revenge action of the July Society is very single-minded, and there is no expansion, and there are not many enemies in the Alpha Kingdom, mainly because the guiding ideology pulls hatred.
If you can let go of these unrealistic things and rely on their connections in aristocratic circles to operate, it is still possible to change your identity and become a new person.
"Naturally, choose one of the three kingdoms of the Middle Continent!
A powerful country like the Alpha Kingdom, we can't even do it together. The Duchy of Moxi is in debt again, and the creditors will not allow them to fall.
The Southern Continent has the most declining kingdoms, but unfortunately they are all under the noses of the great powers. Even if we start a civil strife, we will only make wedding dresses for others.
Count and count, and the three countries of the Central Continent can start.
As long as the flames of war are ignited, the Interracial Alliance will contain the Five Nations Alliance and buy us time.
When that happens, we can form a United Kingdom and stand in the sun.
You can divide the land of the New Kingdom according to their contributions. Even if you can't get a few provinces, it's much better than hiding in a dark corner and being chased and killed! ”
The Lord of Darkness said as a matter of course.
The persimmon picks the soft pinch, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. The only problem is that the painting cake he gave is not so reliable.
Wanting cult organizations to carry out terrorist attacks and using religious means to play armed insurrection -- these are their strong points.
When it comes to governing the country, these people are completely blind. There have been countless cult rebellions in history, and no matter how great the momentum is, none of them has succeeded is enough to illustrate many problems.
The rebellion organized by a single cult is not clear about the internal government affairs; With so many cult organizations united to govern the country, there is even less hope.
Just look at the food on the table and know that no populace can tolerate such a brutal ruler.
No matter how bad the rule of the aristocracy was, no one dared to put the girl's heart and blood as food and put it at the banquet openly.
Whoever dares to die like this will not only have a bad reputation, but religion and the law will not spare them.
"Darkness, you just said that the uprising in the Kingdom of Hesse is over, why go around in such a big circle?
All of you present are from the Northern Continent and the Middle Continent. It is clear which country is strong and which is weak.
If you want us to get involved, at least let everyone know who is behind the scenes. Without the support of the big forces, I don't think this alliance would have succeeded!
Even if you are lucky enough to occupy one kingdom and are not recognized by the Terran Alliance Council, you will soon be extinguished by the other four countries. ”
The Hurricane Pope said nonchalantly.
Unlike many cults that mingle on the mainland, the main area of activity of the Hurricane Church is in the coastal area, and most of its followers are fishermen, pirates, and sailors.
The mixed believers, coupled with the fact that they have been on the beach all year round, have a different way of thinking than the inland churches.
Other cults are still weighing the pros and cons, and the focus of the Hurricane Pope has shifted from the matter itself to the supporters behind the scenes.
"Hurricane, do you still need me to say something so obvious?
In addition to the hatred of the alien races for the Five Nations Alliance, the Aslant Continent can also have such a large amount of blood, don't you know? ”
The Lord of Darkness said mockingly.
Being guessed by others and the identity of the owner of the money by himself seems to have the same result, but the nature is completely different.
Once this plan succeeds, the five-nation alliance will become the four-nation alliance, and the political turmoil caused by this will be great!
In this respect, it is likely that there is more than one force motivated to support them in launching this operation.
I didn't know if I colluded with the interracial race!
As far as cult organizations are concerned, there is no problem in cooperating with the devil, and colluding with other races naturally does not have any psychological burden.
"Darkness, don't play with these vanities. You must know that there is an act in the world called: framing.
Those politicians like to play these tricks the most. Just from the analysis of the pros and cons, the conclusions drawn may not be true.
If you guess the wrong object and treat the enemy as an ally in a specific operation, it will be very fatal! ”
The Hurricane Pope had an experienced expression, and directly pulled up the atmosphere of the scene, and all the delegates expressed their demands to know the truth.
"Alas!"
"You people just lack trust. There are three sponsors behind the scenes, namely the Interracial Alliance, the Falcon Kingdom, and the last one is what you guessed.
Because there are more supporters, the event is relatively well funded, and now it's time for everyone to join. ”
As soon as the Lord of Darkness's words landed, everyone was dumbfounded.
The Interracial Alliance and the Holy See supported this rebellion, and everyone can understand what it means that the Falcon Kingdom is involved?
As an island nation, the Falcon Kingdom and the continent of Aslant are separated by the sea. Although the overall national strength is good, the Kingdom of Franks and the Kingdom of Iliba happen to be on the other side of the strait, and they are not given the opportunity to get involved in continental affairs at all.
According to the past practice, except for when the Terrans were at a disadvantage in the continental war, the Falcon Kingdom would send troops to participate in the war, and they rarely came out to brush up their presence in the rest of the time.
Because Lonely Overseas is not a mainland country, many times their existence is deliberately ignored by everyone.
In the past, when arranging the ten kingdoms of the continent, they were not counted.
The Falcon Kingdom also seems to enjoy this feeling of being ignored, and has been low-key for a long time. Including the meetings of the Terran Alliance, they all play the role of playing soy sauce.
It is obviously a bit abnormal for such a peaceful country to suddenly come to support the cause of the cult.
Perhaps knowing that everyone would get to the bottom of it, the Lord of Darkness immediately added: "The current situation in the Falcon Kingdom is special, and the situation in their country is already precarious, and it may cause civil strife at any time.
Now we are supported by one of the factions, and their goal is very clear: they want to mess up the continent and attract the attention of various countries in order to cover their next actions.
It is not yet known what the specific action will be. However, 20% of the strategic supplies they have provided have now arrived.
The rest will also send things over one after another after everyone agrees to join. So what the specific internal contradictions of the Falcon Kingdom are, in fact, it doesn't matter to us! ”
