Don't need nobles, and don't need kings?

Anthony was amazed at Lynn's whimsy.

"In the land of wizards, there are no nobles and kings, and the wizarding council is in charge of everything." Lynn explained.

"A kingdom of wizards alone......" Anthony muttered softly, an exciting proposition indeed.

"But then aren't we going to turn against all the people of the kingdom?" Anthony asked with a slight hesitation, this is too big, isn't it?

The power of the nobility is deeply rooted in the kingdom of Hadrata, not to mention that they also need to deal with the power of the church.

"Nobles and royalty don't represent the entire kingdom!" Lynn said with a sneer. "Don't forget, we have another force to support - the largest number of people in the kingdom are the laborers in the mines!"

"What do you mean by those slaves?" Anthony couldn't help frowning, "I don't think these people can afford to make any waves." ”

"You underestimate their power and anger too much, these miners have been oppressed and inhumane in their daily lives, like a powder keg, they can explode at a point, and if used well, it is enough to subvert the entire kingdom!" Lynn swore an oath.

He also knew why Anthony was so dismissive of those miners, because in this world, it was difficult for ordinary people to resist the clergy who had mastered extraordinary powers, even if they were gathered together.

Often, after a few magic spells, the improvised poor people with farm tools and mining manuscripts in their hands would scatter and flee.

But these people represent the majority of the kingdom, and they just lack a leader and the courage and strength to resist.

Of course, Lynn didn't plan to do anything to those nobles so quickly, at least until the church power was completely uprooted, these people could still be used.

Under Lynn's constant explanations, Anthony quickly understood what he meant.

Use the power of royalty and nobility to deal with the Holy See, and then sweep them all away to create a kingdom that belongs exclusively to wizards.

"So what do we do now?" Anthony asked.

"Wait! Wait for the right moment! Lynn spoke, he had sent Lauder to infiltrate several mines in the kingdom of Hadratta, and he believed that it would not be long before he could see the results.

……

The Barony of York is located in a town facing the sea to the east of the kingdom, which is rich in iron ore despite its barren land and harsh environment.

更让男爵大人感到高兴的是，近期王都内部有人正在大量收购各类矿石，导致价格也是愈发的高涨。

Anecdotally, this may be related to the dispute over the royal heir.

For York, who is greedy for pleasure and has no ambitions, it is the same for any prince to ascend to the throne, and he only cares if he can take advantage of this rare opportunity to make up for the growing deficit of finances due to extravagant life.

Naturally, the task of increasing production fell to Rupert as the overseer.

Rupert also lived up to the Baron's expectations, and the iron ore shipped to the royal capital increased almost every week.

However, things did not always go so smoothly, and Rupert was very disappointed to find that in recent days, the industrious miners had learned to be lazy, and as long as he did not pay attention, someone would take advantage of the darkness of the mine to curl up in the corner to sleep......

This made Rupert not feel annoyed, and it would not be a joke if the production of ore displeased the Lord Baron.

"Get up, get up for me!" Rupert vigorously swung the long whip in his hand, and struck a middle-aged man in ragged clothes cowering in the mine.

"Spare me, Lord Rupert, I'm too hungry to have any strength......" The man rolled on the ground with a whip, and cried out incessantly.

"Waste, everyone else is struggling to dig ore, and you don't have the strength to do it alone?" The force in Rupert's hand was a little stronger again, and with one blow, the man's chest was opened, and he directly hit the dead hand, ready to kill the other party on the spot as a deterrent, so that the other miners could have a long memory!

This is the end of trying to be lazy!

The sound of the long whip breaking through the air and the man's wail were intertwined, and the miners present were all trembling, not even daring to stop the movements in their hands, let alone excuse the man, for fear that the next moment, the long whip would be drawn on their bodies!

"That's enough, don't fight......" A voice suddenly rang out in the crowd.

Rupert turned his head with an ugly face, trying to see who dared to challenge his majesty.

Standing up was a young man in his twenties, dressed in a coarse linen dress full of holes, with a dirty face, and because he could only eat black bread and wheat leaves for a long time, his figure was very thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him down, but the stubbornness in his eyes was unusually strong.

"Raeder, don't think that you know a little about herbs and can heal the wounds of these lowly miners, I won't dare to kill you...... I'd better identify you for me! Rupert said in a fierce tone, and then flicked his hand directly into the other party's face.

The young man named Raeder didn't have time to dodge at all, let alone dare to dodge, so he took the whip stiffly, and the whole person was knocked to the ground, and a bloody mark was punched on the right side of his face, and a sharp pain suddenly surged into his heart.

But Raeder endured the pain, got up from the ground, and whispered a word of mercy.

"Lord Rupert, more than a dozen people have died last week due to the mining accident, if Uncle Hamm also dies, then the production of iron ore this week may become even less, please spare him!"

Rupert hesitated, he didn't care about the life or death of a mining slave, but as the other party said, before the next batch of mining slaves was delivered, for every person who died, the ore production would be reduced.

The surrounding miners also put down their tools at this moment, silently watching the situation on the field, and when Raeder was whipped by Rupert, some people even wanted to stand up and speak for him, but in the end they were still stopped.

Raeder, unlike Hamm, is a very important person in the mine.

These miners were digging ore in the mine day and night, and injuries were inevitable, but the stingy Rupert would not give them a doctor or anything, and many of them relied on Raeder's half-baked medical skills to barely save their lives.

Most people took this kindness to heart, so after Raeder was whipped, many miners spontaneously gave up their tools in silent protest......
