Chapter 201: Forced Troops
Main led all his disciples to Haydonis, which surprised Sawan and the others, and it might not be a good thing to see Main's posture. In fact, Main was also very surprised when he saw the scene of Haydonnes, only to see that half of the huge castle had been demolished, and the remaining half looked extremely discordant and a little crumbling.
However, on the land around the castle there was a large expanse of simple houses, and a large number of people lived here, like a huge slum, bustling from morning to night. Main couldn't understand the reason why Sawan did this, he had to tear down and build a slum if he didn't live in a good castle.
However, Sawan had his own opinion, saying to Main that "the castle is a barrier of communication between the people, and the nobles who live in the castle think that they have a protective shell and ignore the suffering of the people, and the people regard the castle as a place of sin, and the upper and lower classes are completely separated, and in the long run society will be ossified." β
Main shook his head and said, "I don't know what you want to do, our Magic Guild didn't help you do this. β
Savin asked, "Don't you want me to build a kingdom where the Magic Guild can be used as a base? I have already planned to give a piece of land here to the Magic Guild in the future, so that you can establish a magic academy, and other lords will not give you such benefits." β
Main smiled bitterly: "Of course this is good, but it's not too late to do these things slowly later, now that time is pressing, you must act immediately and show your strength to the entire continent." β
"What does it mean to show strength?" asked Savin, frowning.
Main refused to explain more, but said very strongly: "Anyway, you have to find a way to take down Herones as soon as possible now, and you must complete this goal within a month." β
Seeing that Main suddenly became unreasonable, Sawan immediately sneered, he touched his chin and said, "What if I don't want to? You can see it yourself, I don't even have an army now, how can you let me take Heronys? More importantly, there must be a reason to occupy other people's territory, right?"
Main said without flinching: "I don't care about this, in short, if you don't take Herones within a month, the Magic Guild will cut off all support, you can do it yourself!" After saying that, Main flicked his sleeves and left Savan's hut.
"Fuck your uncle!" After Main left, Samin was so angry that he smashed the table in front of him in half.
"Lord, what's going on?" asked Narros, who hurriedly pushed the door in.
Sawin held back his anger and said, "It's nothing, you go and gather everyone over, I have something to discuss with you." β
Narros looked at Savan, then at the table that had split in half, and turned away without saying anything. Before long, several of the main leaders arrived at Savein's cabin, including Holtz, Winnett, Larry, Lyanna, Selia, Narros, and Swain's recently recruited political scientist, Alwin.
When everyone came to Savin's house, they all looked at the scene in front of them with some surprise, it was obvious that Sawin had lost his temper just now, but no one knew why, and they all stared at Sawan with suspicion on their faces. Sawin said to everyone with a blank face: "Sit down, I have important things to discuss with you today." β
After everyone sat down one by one, Sawan began to speak, "Everyone knows that Master Main of the Magic Guild is here, and everyone knows that the Magic Guild is our most important supporter. This time, Master Main brought a message that the Magic Guild has asked us to take down Herones within a month, what should we do?"
Savan's words surprised everyone, the request of the Magic Guild was too unbelievable, how could such a request be possible to occupy Herones in a month, not only was the time too hasty, but also everyone was unprepared.
Seeing that everyone was at a loss, Sawin had no choice but to explain: "I also find it strange that the Magic Guild made such a request, but Master Main mentioned that time is urgent, I think something big must happen, otherwise they would not have made such an excessive request." Now we have no choice but to find a way to get this done, or ......"
Sawan doesn't need to say that everyone knows what the consequences are, it must be that the Magic Guild cancels all support for them, and this price is not something they can afford.
For a while, the room fell silent, and everyone was thinking in their minds how such a big thing could be done in a month. Everyone here is more or less good at using their hands but not their brains, and the only people with more brains are probably Larry and Alvin, and Larry is better at handling accounts, and he doesn't know much about strategy. Therefore, everyone unanimously set their eyes on Alwin.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Alwin knew that he couldn't stop talking, especially as a newcomer, if he didn't show his talent at this time, it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold here in the future. I saw Elwin cough lightly twice, and then said: "If you want to make a move against Herones, you must first have a reason, if we attack for no reason, I'm afraid no one will support us." β
"Reason?" Sawin smiled bitterly in his heart, this matter was obviously ignored by his side, what other reason could he find?
"Hey, aren't you pretending to be stupid, what reason are we going to find when we take the initiative to beat people?" Lyanna said to Alwyn in a mocking tone.
Alwin didn't care too much about Lyanna's attitude, he shook his head lightly and said: "It's not that simple, even if we take the initiative, we need reasons, these reasons are not used to convince ourselves, they are done for others to see, no matter what kind of reason, whether it is reasonable or not, even if it is to make one." β
Most people couldn't understand what Alwyn meant, but Savin did, and the reason Alvin said was an excuse that people would follow him as long as he had it, no matter how far-fetched that one needed something to fool them.
"I see, now let's think about what kind of reason we can find. Sawan nodded.
Alvin was very relieved to see that Sawin understood his words, so he took Sawin's words and said: "Actually, the reason is not difficult to find, as long as it sounds reasonable, such as creating friction and so on. β
Celia interjected, "I thought of one, and I said that the boundary of the territory is disputed, so as to create an incident, is this a reason?"
Alvin nodded and said with a smile: "This is indeed an idea, but we don't have such a problem at the moment, and the border issue alone is not enough to give us a reason to send troops." β
Everyone fell silent again when they heard this, originally Hironice was an inconspicuous small country, and there were only a few lords in the country, usually everyone lived their own lives, and there were very few contradictions, and now it was really not easy to create an incident.
Seeing that everyone had no ideas, Alwin could only continue to guide everyone, and he reminded: "Actually, it doesn't have to be us, it's okay to use other people's names. β
Everyone looked at Alvin suspiciously, obviously not understanding what he meant, Alvin felt a little embarrassed, so he had to continue: "Actually, we might as well take advantage of the Duke of Amberton, this land is still nominally the Duke's, the contract we signed is a long-term lease, and the Duke only said to the outside world that we are guarding the land for him, plus there is a marriage contract, so to some extent, we and the Duke are one." β
Everyone nodded in agreement, and there was some truth in what Alwyn said, and the Duke and his own interests were largely tied together.
Seeing that everyone understood this, Alwyn continued: "The Duke of Amberton is also a member of the royal family, and if he replaces the current king, I believe that most of the people will accept it, and the other nobles have no reason to oppose it, so we only need to control the duke, carry out a coup d'Γ©tat in his name, and put him on the throne, which is equivalent to indirectly controlling Herones, and it does not require too many troops to do this." β
