Vol 2 Chapter 692: Empire's reaction

"World Tree Game ( to find the latest chapter!
Western collar, Morningstar City.
In the lobby of the Temporary City Lord's Mansion.
"What are you talking about? The maple leaf collar has been completely recovered by the elves?"
The Duke of Borencia looked at the clerk reporting the news with a look of astonishment.
"Yes...yes, Lord Duke."
The clerical officer replied carefully.
The Duke of Borencia took a light breath, his eyes could not hide his shock and confusion.
"One month...no, it's less than one month, right? How can they do it?"
"My lord, it is said that they have a floating fortress that can fly in the air. Several strong cities were captured in this way, and... and the of dusk and sunset is said to have fallen into the hands of the goddess of life."
"The goddess of life shot? The evil has fallen?"
The Duke of Borencia was startled slightly.
"Yes, according to intelligence, all the gods worshipped by the cultists have cracked on their own."
The clerical officer replied respectfully.
The Duke opened his mouth, as if he was not ready to accept the news.
It wasn't until a moment of silence that he said to himself with difficulty:
"Isn't it a Cthulhu who is so strong that even the gods are afraid? How... how could it be defeated so quickly?"
The clerical officer did not answer this question.
To be honest...this is not something that can be investigated clearly for his existence at this level.
Of course, the Duke of Borencia did not expect the clerk to answer, he just couldn't calm the shock in his heart.
He raised the crystal glass to take a sip of wine, but found that he didn't know when the glass was finished.
However, when he raised his head, he found that the clerical officer standing in front of him was hesitant to speak.
The duke's heart jumped.
He glanced at the clerical officer, his face getting worse and worse:
"What's the bad news?"
The clerical officer's Adam's apple rolled, but... because he was so fat that he couldn't see his thick neck full of fat.
"Duke... Lord Duke, Maple Leaf Collar... Maple Leaf Collar declared that he had separated from the Empire and became independent..."
He stammered.
With a soft "click", the precious crystal wine glass in the hands of the Duke of Borencia was turned into fragments, and the corner of the eyes of the Earl Mies who was watching was twitching, and there was a pain in his eyes.
"You say it again? What happened to the maple collar?"
The Duke of Borencia squinted his eyes and looked at the officer reporting the news with a gloomy and dangerous expression.
The temperature in the entire hall seemed to have dropped a bit because of his gloom.
The fat secretary wiped the sweat from his forehead, then stammered and replied:
"Duke... Lord Duke, Sophia, the heir of the Wells family, declared the Maple Leaf Collar independent. Not only that, she also abolished the entire Maple Leaf Collar’s ​​noble title and hereditary aristocracy system, and changed her name to the Maple Moon Free Collar..."
As he said, he took out a crumpled pamphlet from his arms:
"This is their propaganda script..."
The Duke of Borencia snatched it over, squinted and looked at it, but as he read, his expression became more and more ugly.
After reading the entire manuscript, he directly threw it to the ground.
"Maple Freedom? Also abolish the nobles? Is she going to be an enemy of the entire empire?! It's just a consular district!"
He was about to laugh angrily.
The Holy Mania Empire is not without a free zone, but it is a single city, also known as a free city.
Free cities are not under the jurisdiction of the imperial center or local aristocracy, but a high degree of autonomy, but even so, they dare not say the abolition of the aristocracy.
"The Duke... The Duke... Not only that... They have announced their alliance with the Forest of the Elves, and they also regard the Life Church as the official church."
The clerical officer said carefully.
"Elves Forest?"
The Duke of Borencia was startled slightly, and then furious:
"These long ears dare to reach out to the territory of the empire! Do they want to start a war of faith?!"
The legend was furious, and everyone in the hall felt an overwhelming sense of oppression, and even the magic lamp that was lit in the hall flickered.
And noticing the pale faces and trembling bodies of others, the Duke of Borencia reluctantly suppressed the anger in his heart and put away the pressure on his body.
However, when he looked at the manuscript that was thrown on the ground, his expression became increasingly ugly.
He never expected that the frontier man who defeated the imperial crusade army would be defeated so quickly!
Even if there is a battle of gods ahead, this speed is too exaggerated.
Back then, the Elf Kingdom could last for hundreds of years after the fall of the World Tree!
And even let the maple leaf collar declare independence and abolish the noble system!
If this matter reaches the imperial capital, I don't know how many sinister villains will attack him in the council.
After all, it is his Borencia family who is dealing with the Maple Leaf collar now!
The Duke of Borencia felt his brain hurt when he thought of the impact of the news of the Maple Leaf Collar fermented.
Looking at the Duke rubbing his temples, Earl Mis hesitated and said:
"Master Duke, the elves intervene, it is better than the evil to control the territory. I think we need to handle the maple leaf leader carefully..."
"Master Earl, the area around Augs City has also been merged into the Maple Moon Freedom."
Seeing the unhurried expression of Earl Mies, the clerk of the Duke of Borencia reminded him in a low voice.
Earl Mies:...
His face changed, and he quickly changed his words:
"Master Duke! Don't let the lost land fall into the hands of the Elves! What Maple Moon collar... must be the puppet of the Elves, Maple Leaf City was once the capital of the Elves! This must be the revenge of the Elves!"
"Lord Duke, we have to dispatch troops quickly, take advantage of the maple leaf collar has not completely settled down, regain the territory!"
Count Mies looked eager, and saw the Duke of Borencia speechless.
He sighed and said:
"Your Excellency, do you think that the Elf Legion that can easily destroy the Red Maple Army, can we win?"
Count Mies was speechless for a while.
"But isn't it a declaration of war? The elves dare to stand for the rebellious platform of the Maple Leaf collar. As you said, isn't this trying to provoke a war of faith?!"
Count Mies insisted.
The western region is not rich, and the land near the city of Augus is fertile and dangerous. If it is really gone, it will be like cutting his flesh.
The Duke of Borencia was noncommittal, but the slightly clenched fist indicated that he was in a very bad mood at this moment.
After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Report this matter to the parliament and ask the parliament to make a decision."
"Master Duke!"
"Stop talking! Your Excellency, this is not just a problem of Maple Leaf Collar, but a problem of the Living Church and the Eternal Church, the Elves and our Empire! If you want to solve it, you can only rely on the pressure of the Empire and the Church. Let the elves return to the forest of elves and promise not to participate again!"
Borencia stopped the persuasion of Count Mies.
As he said, he looked to the south again and sneered:
"Abolish the aristocracy? Equality and harmony? Haha... Without the powerful power of the aristocracy, without the rich knowledge of the aristocracy, without the municipal bureaucrats loyal to the aristocracy, with a group of ignorant civilians, want to rule the maple leaf collar?
"It's ridiculous!"
...
Players don’t know the waves caused by the Maple Moon reforms in the north and west, let alone how much the news has spread to the entire Holy Mania Empire and the Kingdom of Ayris in the south, and how much it has produced in the two human kingdoms. Impact……
Only some players who often trade with the Human Chamber of Commerce have heard of it. It seems that the Maple Moon reform has broken through the human world.
However, most people don't care too much.
Although today, players have been tuned to experience and play the world of Segus as a real world, but in fact, unless some plots are directly related to themselves, otherwise, most People are too lazy to control.
No matter how much trouble Fengyue Liberty has caused in the human world, as long as humans do not openly send an army, few players will pay attention and worry about it.
But Fengyueling strengthened the defense against the north.
Of course, most of the soldiers defending at this moment are humans.
Most of the players have already evacuated with the end of the mission, or returned to the Fairy Forest to find other instances to spawn monsters, or to explore the underground world.
That's right, the underground world.
When the Maple Leaf Leadership map is opened, the corresponding underground world area is naturally open to players, harassing the underground world, eating black in the chaotic dark country, is also one of the players' interests.
However, this does not mean that there are no players in the Maple Leaf Collar. In fact, there are still many players staying in the entire territory, because the construction of the Maple Leaf Free Collar still cannot do without the support of the players.
Players are involved in preaching faith, encircling bandits, repairing city walls, or restoring production and opening schools.
Of course, it is paid.
In addition, although the Maple Moon reform abolished the noble system and built a new shelf from top to bottom, it was only just getting started.
If you really want to run the entire territory well, you still need to constantly explore and improve.
It is also unrealistic to move some of Blue Star's systems to the Seggs world bluntly, and it is also necessary to take into account the specific local conditions.
These things, if you rely solely on the illiterate poor, will naturally cause confusion.
But fortunately, on the one hand, there are interested players to make suggestions, on the other hand, there is no shortage of well-learned people among human civilians.
This is the biggest difference between the Segus World and the Blue Star in the Middle Ages.
In the Blue Star’s medieval world, nobles control knowledge, and retainers loyal to the nobles directly manage the territory, and most common people are ignorant.
Without the awakening of the common people, the rule of the nobility will be unbreakable.
In the world of Seggs, the dissemination of knowledge is far more profound than that of Blue Star. The core advantage of the nobility is actually extraordinary power and extraordinary knowledge.
Extraordinary power and extraordinary knowledge are nothing more than tools to maintain violent rule.
At least in the world of Seggs, extraordinary power is far from being a means of developing productivity.
In this world, nobles are more like a protective umbrella, protecting weak ordinary people.
However, as time goes by, it is not clear whether it is more protection or more oppression.
And now, without the power of the nobility, there are still living churches, as well as players, as well as the transcendents who are able to take on the important tasks cultivated by the future territory.
They can also serve as indispensable extraordinary powers.
From this perspective, without nobles, the entire territory can function normally, as long as there is a strong force as a backing.
As for whether the new transcendents will gradually form new classes over time, or nobles in another sense, that is the future.
And these things are not Eve's worry.
After all, abolishing the aristocracy is nothing more than a way for him. After all, the human aristocracy in the world of Seggs is too deeply bound to the eternal church or the churches of other human gods...
For thousands of years of development, although the aristocracy and the church have been in constant friction, on the whole they are interdependent.
Unless they are dealt with, it will be difficult for Eve to move the faith of the entire human society.
equality?
The slogan is nothing.
At least for Eve.
But there are slogans and pursuits, at least better than nothing.
Just like Kuafu chasing the sun, maybe you will never be able to really catch up with that sun, but in constant efforts, when you look back and look behind you, you will find that you have gone very far, at least much better than not working hard. .
And if one day the dragon slayer becomes an evil dragon...
Well, to the extreme, if this evil dragon is good for Eve, he doesn’t mind turning one eye and closing one eye~EbookFREE.me~ After all, his ultimate goal is to strengthen himself, not To bring changes to the world of Seggs.
He is not a savior.
Although some life believers in the human world are bragging like this...
Regarding Fengyueling, the noble council of the Holy Manian Empire discussed for three days and nights.
Just as always, there was no discussion.
What's interesting is that this time the reaction of the nobles was much fiercer than that during the Frontier Bo rebellion, but the Eternal Church was relatively calm.
In fact, it can be understood that this reform has really touched the foundation of the nobility.
However, no matter what the quarrel, no matter how to argue, no one in the entire Holy Mannia Empire thinks that this time is the time to face the elves and the Fengyue collar head-on...
The Red Maple Kingdom was destroyed in less than a month, which really scared the nobles.
But for the church, it's just a parish, with a population of five million.
At this moment, if there is a real war with the elves, the war continues, and the evil forces around the world are ready to move, then it will not be a matter of a mere five million people.
Only the real senior leaders of the church know that the most important thing for the church now is actually the war between gods and demons half a year later.
In the end, the Imperial Assembly and the Eternal Church only sent representatives to Fengyueling to condemn them.
Even the imperial crusade was disbanded, the Marshal Duke of Borencia was recalled, and the Second Guard Corps was stationed in the west.
Eve knew that this was not because the opponent was really afraid of the player and Feng Yueling.
They are just waiting for the Segus World to be completely unblocked after three years.
In the world of Seggs, the struggle of various races is ultimately a struggle between gods.
This is the game of the true and the sorrow of mortals.
