The King

  Chapter 139 The turbulent situation

  In the spring breeze, a hundred flowers bloom, and the mountain collar surrounded by wild flowers looks extraordinarily enchanting and colorful. Coupled with the embellishment of lanterns and festoons, it looks like a kingdom of gods on earth.

  The Lord's Mansion, the main building, has been completed, and its first appearance is the beginning of glory, as if telling the birth of a legend.

  The guests who came and went talked and laughed lively, and the lively atmosphere pushed the emotions of the scene to a climax.

   "Viscount Oran is here!"

   "Viscount Nicholas is here!"

   "Count Simic is here!"

   "Lord Romwell is here"

  …

  The arrival of every big person will cause a sensation.

  The aristocrats who appeared in front of the stage are okay. Even if everyone didn't have a chance to make friends, they still met each other and got acquainted with each other.

  The powerhouses who appeared later were different. Although these cultivators seldom show up, their popularity in the aristocratic circle has never been low.

  Worshiping the strong is human instinct. Facing a group of top strong men, even nobles have to address them as "Master" to show their respect.

   Of course, these people will not lack noble titles on their heads. In order to win over these strong men, the title of honorary nobleman was arranged early on.

  The viscount is just starting out, and he has made several contributions to the kingdom. It is not surprising that he is given the title of earl or marquis.

  If you are willing to devote yourself to the kingdom and die, then it goes without saying that it is possible to get the title of Grand Duke. A bit of royal blood, a title of prince, that's all right.

  The title of honorary noble is worthless, especially when it comes to wooing the strong, the kingdom has never been stingy with titles.

  Perhaps because there is no need to pay a salary, when countries in the mainland like to win over the strong, they like to give a series of false titles.

  The arrival of a group of powerhouses in the province raised the standard of the banquet suddenly, making all the guests who attended the banquet dumbfounded.

  Compared with the previous two high-profile banquets, this banquet has completely opened up the grade. The terrifying network resources displayed by Hudson made all the little nobles have to reconsider the issue of standing in line.

  Especially the nobles in Wright County, who were planning to move closer to the Viscount Sith, instantly woke up.

   There is a grand duke whose father is really awesome, but this is the southeastern province. What decides everyone's life and death is still a group of local powerful factions.

  Although they don't know how much they support the Mountain Territory, they finally showed their attitude. This means that the forces behind Viscount Sith want to exert political pressure, which cannot be effective here.

  The five giants in the Northland are indeed powerful, but they are only one of them. It is purely a dream to want all the powerful factions in the southeastern province to bow their heads.

  If core interests are really involved, even if the five companies add up, everyone will not make concessions.

  Essentially, the northern Xinjiang region is heavily dependent on the southern Xinjiang provinces.

  Although it is slightly weaker than the southeast province of the Northland, the large amount of money and food supported every year gives everyone enough voice.

   From the reactions of all the guests, it can be seen that the purpose of shocking people's hearts has obviously been achieved.

  The northern Xinjiang nobles who came to make up the numbers are nothing more than their backgrounds determine their positions, and coming to the banquet is just a courtesy congratulation.

  The local nobles in the county were really frightened. Many people are secretly glad that they are not in a hurry to accept Viscount Sith's solicitation.

   The guy who leaned over first and wanted to speculate is now even more impatient, and wants to cut off with Viscount Sith immediately.

  The cruel reality tells them that birth determines position!

  If you want to lean over like a wall, you have to ask the local bigwigs first if they will agree.

  Wright County's knockout round of the weak and the strong has only entered the midfield at this moment, and it is far from the time to decide the winner.

  The position of the county guard just means that the supporters behind them have a stronger voice in the capital. Now here is the statement of the various forces in the province.

  True true false false false false true true.

  The asymmetry of information allowed the small nobles to directly draw the conclusion based on what they saw with their own eyes: all local forces "all" support Hudson's conclusion.

  Even if someone told them, this banquet meant nothing. It's just an ordinary show of mutual favor and icing on the cake, no one will believe it.

   In terms of face, how does the Koslow family compare with the Dalton family?

  Viscount Cayo's celebration banquet had a much lower standard than this. Not to mention a group of strong people, even many middle-level nobles just prepared a congratulatory gift, and they couldn't see anyone at all.

   The two sides rushed to get together, and the nobles who were not in the camps of both parties and did not want to offend others, naturally had to be absent at the same time.

   It was originally just a sequela of the banquet time bumping together. Now it has been over-interpreted by many people as: the political stance of various forces.

  This kind of misunderstanding is exactly what Hudson wants to see. He never had too many younger brothers, even younger brothers who had their own ulterior motives, could still shout a few times along with them.

  It works well, but it can also be used to bluff people. Hudson is experienced in playing bluff.

  Many seemingly accidental, but in fact inevitable. This grand banquet was no exception.

   There are so many people here, it is because the personal connections are mutual. Today someone came over to support the show, and if someone needs it someday, Hudson will also have to run over to help the platform.

  The aristocratic network resources are terrifying, and it is essentially a big show of mutual flattery. The ability to continue acting is because the actors are too involved in the play, and they take it seriously when they are acting.

   When you are strong, this kind of thinking is not wrong. Everyone is happy to do the icing on the cake, and can fully enjoy the dividends brought by network resources.

  Once the power declines, that's another story. Generally speaking, it is definitely better to have many friends than to have no friends.

  …

   As the protagonist of the banquet, Hudson is like a hardworking bee, constantly shuttling in the hall.

  Important guests should be received with emphasis, and ordinary guests who come to join us should not be neglected either.

   After talking about unnutritious words over and over again, my throat was about to smoke before I met all the guests face to face.

  Character settings cannot be lost!

  Arrogance is destined not to belong to the middle and small nobles. If you want to get ahead, you must be courteous and corporal, and show a friendly attitude to everyone as much as possible.

  Compared to Hudson's secret complaints, Baron Redman, who was also wandering around at the banquet, was elated, which made him sigh the strength of his spiritual power.

  It's normal to think about it. After spending most of my life standing still, I finally relied on my son to cross the class. If I can show it off, it will naturally be full of energy.

   Wandering around, and returning to the team of strong men, the style of painting became bold and unrestrained again.

  Fortunately, the banquet was divided into two parts, otherwise the scene of people cooking with monsters would be seen by outsiders, and they would have to applaud while breaking down inside.

   It's all the bad start of Bear Stearns. The last time he messed around in the Governor's Mansion, he has now received retribution.

   It is simply that Hudson has already prepared and prepared the World of Warcraft package in advance. Although the specifications are not as high as the banquet in the Governor's Mansion, it is better to have a large quantity to satisfy your needs.

   Roasted sheep and roasted cows are served whole-headed, and animal milk and honey are served pot by pot.

  It's a pity that not all monsters are good at this. Except for the monsters in the bear, other monsters are mainly interested in meat.

  …

   "I'm afraid the mainland is going to be in chaos.

  The orcs in the north began to be restless again. There are many signs that they are preparing their horses and fighting hard, and the battle to invade the south is imminent.

  The only thing that is not sure is where they will focus their attack. Let's hope it's not the Alpha Kingdom, or we'll be in trouble.

   What's even more damning is that at this moment of crisis, the Holy See is still restless. Not long ago, it ended its conflict with us, and recently it has confronted the Frankish Kingdom.

   Shamelessly claiming that their king is illegal, do you really think they are still ruling the mainland?

   Say what, what is it?

   Just wait, as the most powerful country on the mainland, the Kingdom of Franks will not save them face.

   If one day I wake up and a bunch of new Dawn Holy See suddenly appear, I will not be surprised at all!

   Now it depends on which country is willing to take the lead. Anyway, our Alpha Kingdom will most likely follow suit. "

   Longwell said mockingly.

   As an earth knight, he has personally trained on the orc battlefield. It's just that it was just a medium-scale southward plunder, and only two of the five orc royal courts came.

  Even so, the Alpha Kingdom suffered heavy losses. It took 200,000 troops and 500,000 civilian casualties before the orcs were driven out.

  In Longwell's view, rather than driving the orcs out, it is better to rely on the defense line of the fortress, dragging down the logistics of the orc empire and being forced to withdraw.

   It's not a question of whether to be cowardly or not. No one really wants to face such a difficult guy like the Orc Empire.

   Originally, the orc invasion to the south was enough trouble. But the Holy See is still not at ease now, and keeps doing things on the mainland.

  The last time they supported the Skull and Bones to cause chaos, they accidentally exposed the existence of the "Blood Moon Horn", and the Alpha Kingdom found them on their heads.

  This time with the replacement of the Franconian throne, the selected supporters had a little accident, and they accidentally got caught.

   There is no doubt that the Holy See's investment must have failed, and it lost everything. If it weren't for this, the pope wouldn't have declared the new king illegitimate in anger.

  It's a pity that this doesn't make any sense. The nobles vote directly with their feet, and the support of the Holy See's opposition is right.

   Illegal, right?

  After the Holy See announced this decision, they were still waiting to see the situation, and the human nations that did not immediately recognize the new king of the Frankish Kingdom expressed their positions—recognizing its legitimacy.

   As for the absence of the pope to participate in the coronation ceremony, it is also very simple, just downgrade and hold it. If there is no pope to preside over it, just pick a bishop at random to make up the number.

  Anyway, this is nothing new. Like the Alpha Kingdom, the king appoints an archbishop, and the archbishop presides over the coronation ceremony of the king's succession.

  Because the Frankish Kingdom is the most powerful country in the human race, its cards are bigger. Every time there is a change of throne, the Pope personally presides over it.

   Now that the two sides have completely fallen out, then play on your own. Anyway, when it comes to military strength, the Frankish Kingdom is almost the same as the Holy See, so I don't hesitate.

   "Not only these, it is said that the South Coast Kingdom has recently clashed with the Ash Dwarves, and the Hesse Kingdom has also had conflicts with the Mountain Dwarves.

  The kingdom of Dante in the east seems to be in conflict with the kingdom of elves because of the issue of slavery.

   Similar skirmishes are numerous. It feels like overnight, the human race has become the enemy of the whole world. "

   Antar Magister said with emotion.

   "Antal, you are making too much fuss. Since becoming the overlord of the mainland, when has my human race not been the enemy of the world?

   Regardless of which race becomes the overlord of the continent, they will all enjoy this kind of treatment.

  Even if they were peace-loving elves, when they ruled the mainland hundreds of thousands of years ago, they were also enemies of the world?

  As the overlord of the mainland, how can he be afraid of these conspiracies and tricks. If you want to come, come, all of them are in trouble, and it happens to be resolved at once.

   As long as the nations of the human race do not fight among themselves, even if they are added together, it is not enough for us to fight. What's there to be afraid of?

  As long as we withstand the invasion of the orcs, other battlefields have nothing to do with us. Even if it wanted to control it, the Alpha Kingdom didn't have the strength.

   Today is different from the past. With the power of the Three Kingdoms, we may not be able to severely damage the Orc Empire.

  If we can hurt the vitality of the orcs, we can not only regain the lost ground, but also push the front line northward by thousands of miles.

  Come here three or five times over and over again, you can also turn the orc empire into history, and completely solve this great enemy that threatens the survival of our human race! "

   Magister Claude said domineeringly.

  The hawks among magicians are rare to see. Most magicians are known for their rationality, and only a very small number of other magicians are full of passion.

  The Claude magister in front of him is undoubtedly an alternative among the alternatives. As far as Hudson knew, this man not only clamored for war, but also studied various war weapons by himself.

   There is no doubt that these weapons of war are inseparable from magic. No one knows the specific results, but this spirit is definitely worth admiring.

  If the human magicians come up with more big killers, maybe the northern battlefield will not always be passive.

  Looking at the heated discussion among the powerful, Hudson could only be a silent audience. The lack of sources of information made him lose his right to speak.

   Not to mention the entire continent, even the Koslow family received the news of the changes that occurred within the Alpha Kingdom, and it was a step slower.

  The speed of receiving messages is slow, and the speed of delivering messages is even slower. Unless it may involve their own interests, everyone did not pass this idea to each other at all.

   It's all caused by poverty.

  If the branches take the initiative to collect information and exchange information in a timely manner, at least thousands of gold coins will be added to the annual cost.

  Hundreds of branches, large and small, seem to be amortized, but it seems that there are not many. But the problem is that there are many branches in the middle, which are really poor.

  Some even failed to keep their aristocratic family status, and became civilians directly.

  If it wasn't for Hudson's initiative to invite and become a branch of civilians, he would never have participated in this event.

   Maybe something to do?

  …
