The younger generation of nobles were worried about Roddy's "outsider", but Sally, who was in the center of the vortex, had no such concern at all - what she was more worried about now was the stability within Everta.

After all, since the orc invasion last year, the aristocratic structure of the entire Karen Kingdom has undergone huge and dramatic changes... Charles II was originally seriously injured, but if this continued, it would be basically destined to fall apart. However, the sudden appearance of the dragon clan allowed the royal family to integrate the nobles under his command in a reversal and turnaround manner, and regained the already lost power.

This turning point means that the pressure facing Everta suddenly increases.

The drastic political reform was carried out under the premise that the vested interest groups were missing on a large scale and Roddy had absolute military power. At present, this situation can only be said to be "more smooth", but it is definitely not smooth sailing - the cake is so big, and any reform is to redistribute resources. How many vested interests will be happy?

Sally herself is actually the highest-ranking existence among "losing interests", but she knows very well that it is not difficult to continue to be a scheming duke, but it is far from enough to face the threat from the demon plane... So the launch of change and war is inevitable after all, and under the current conditions, the earlier the start of the first, the greater the chance of victory.

If the royal family supported by the Dragon Clan becomes a climate, it would be too late to say anything.

But the problem now is that not everyone has this awareness.

Sally was flipping through the latest intelligence summary in her study in the Magic Tower, and her face became increasingly ugly. Although the cabinet finally agreed to launch the war, not all cabinet members were positive about the matter. The intelligence showed that two cabinet nobles had made excessive war "pessimistic" remarks in public, which was not a good sign for Everta, who had not yet begun the war.

After all, no matter how depressed the people below are, it is okay. As the highest-level leader, it is the same, that is, it will destroy one's ambition.

"This group of old ghosts..."

Sally was so angry that she pursed her lips, but she could only complain secretly. Roddy must have seen the same information, so what she has to do now is to give a handling opinion as a reference - as the duke, she currently has the power to "veto it". That is, if she thinks it is inappropriate, she can directly deny it if she thinks it is inappropriate.

This is the reservation and respect for the power of the "duke", but in fact she will not use it.

Inside the political structure, the right to know, the right to suggest, the right to veto and the right to decide basically means the increasing relationship between power. Now the Prime Minister of the Cabinet is basically the pinnacle of power, but what worries Sally is that the existence of other members of the Cabinet is not as reassuring as before...

The great lord was chosen to enter the cabinet, so that the rulers at the highest level of Everta were not in turmoil. When facing orcs, they were naturally obedient, because humans and orcs could not stand together.

But now? Sally is a little worried about the human desire for power in his heart. Although human progress depends on this desire, behaviors that are too short-sighted often lead to catastrophic consequences.

Holding the last page of the stack of information, Sally rubbed her eyebrows. At this time, a knock on the door came from her ear. She raised her head and found that it was the servant who brought her a warm drink. Edith's phantom also appeared aside. The great arcane saw her haggard look and asked, "It's so late, don't you rest?"

"I went to bed after reading this."

Sally stood up and sat in the armchair beside her. She did not intend to enter the Demon Tower office at first, but since two guys who had been involved in the ranks of servants were caught by Edith on the spot, Sally realized that her current status was no longer the unknown priest... For safety reasons, she moved into the Demon Tower at Roddy's suggestion and basically would not go out unless she attended important events.

This is not timidity, but to minimize variables for the entire war.

During this period, Edith has been making up for knowledge about human development. After all, as a high elves seven hundred years ago, after becoming a subordinate of Everta, she must first understand the composition and origin of this country, and secondly, she must speculate on the current development level of various forces on the continent. To this day, she feels that her choice is not wrong. Although Everta seems to be in danger, Edith, who has the power of a demigod, can easily see through the essence of the royal family.

Charles II is not even considered a "strong outside and strong at the same time". His current momentum is simply an illusion created by the light of the dragon clan.

"His Excellency Edith, will there be such wars during the High Elf?"

Sally was a little confused and didn't want to think about the cabinet, so she turned to talk about something else and wanted to relax.

"There are not too many internal wars, because with the development of crystal energy, the people in the country can have a richer life than the current human beings, while the royal family controls an absolute number of great arcane masters and troops. Only occasional famines or special reasons will lead to forces trying to rebel and rebel, but the consequence is that they will be suppressed soon."

Edith said a few simple words, then pointed to the detailed map behind Sally: "In fact, what Prime Minister Roddy is doing now is somewhat similar to the high-elf royal family. I believe that in the near future, Everta will have a very stable situation."

"Really?"

Although Sally has been in the high position of "Duke" for a long time, her vision cannot be compared with the great arcane. Her eyes then turned to the map, and after a brief thought, she spoke out: "Are you referring to... these 'roads'?"

"Dude, where do you think the 'road' will be used in addition to this battle?"

Regarding this question, Sally looked carefully at the "roads" marked with solid red lines on the map. The roads from Elsen City to Hollier City have been connected, and four territories are passed through the middle, including eight branches leading to the main cities of each territory and the more prosperous market towns. From the two places of Palling and Elsen, two parallel lines extend to the east at the same time, which is obviously prepared for the next battle.

But Edith's meaning is obviously not that simple.

"Well... With this battle, these roads will radiate to the entire Iversta area with Elson and Hollier as the center. In this way, future trade transactions will seem to be more convenient."

"In cooperation with the Prime Minister's reform, the lord's rights will be taken back in the future. In the case of trade freedom, the economic situation will naturally be gradually controlled by the 'Palling Chamber of Commerce'." Sally's eyes lit up: "That is to say... power is not only nominal concentration, but also controls the lifeline of the interests of each lord. This is the real concentration of power!"

Edith nodded. These things were actually understandable for a smart lord, and Sally was qualified in this regard. However, the great arcane had obviously experienced more. With a finger, a faint light appeared on the city areas of the lords on the map.

"The war period is for the sake of foreign countries. After the war is over, if anyone in these places has bad intentions, then the time it takes for the army to lead from Parr to take within three days."

Edith estimated the time was the data given by Roddy. Although Sally knew it, she still didn't sound very confident - because since she could remember, the time for the army to travel between cities was calculated monthly...

"If it can really arrive within three days, it means that the Prime Minister has more direct military strike capabilities and suppression capabilities than the high-elves' period." Edith whispered: "Believe me, this ability is irreplaceable for the ruler of the country."

Sally nodded, but said a little unconfidently: "I hope so."

*******

By the end of April, Elson was already warming up.

The atmosphere in Elson City still seemed to be maintained before the end of the "magic exchange meeting". There were a lot of people walking in robes in the streets and alleys, and various magazines were scattered, but it was difficult to see "Royal Weekly" - it was obvious that Roddy deliberately blocked the information sources that might come from the royal family, so that the mages in the city could study magic with peace of mind.

The mages and apprentices who signed the contract at the exchange meeting either entered the Magic Academy or joined the "Magic Research Department". The extremely high benefits, good salary, and a positive and healthy magic environment made these mages very satisfied... Of course, this was when they did not know the royal trends.

The public opinion in the city was firmly controlled by Roddy, so there was no bleak atmosphere like the city of Hollier. The farmers living on the edge of the city were even more happy to develop the fields. Originally due to the irrigation capacity, farmers did not dare to have more land even if they had land, because if they could not take care of it, they would completely waste seeds. But now the situation has completely changed. Artificial rainfall solved the irrigation problem. The newly developed simple puppet of the Research Department replaced plowing oxen, which not only could cultivate the land, but also could apply fertilizer to a large-scale farmland in a very short time. As a result, the liberated labor force could cultivate a larger area and obtain more food.

Of course, only farmers under Elson City can do this kind of welfare of expanding farmland, while farmers under other nobles or simple self-cultivating farmers need to spend money to rent or purchase. Of course, Roddy has been actively supporting the development of farmland in recent years. The cost of renting arcane puppets is very low. If used by number of times, ordinary self-cultivating farmers can rent once or twice while arable land.

Therefore, compared with last year, the expected output of Elson's grain has increased several times. It can be said that in such a remote territory, under intensive cultivation and centralized control, the total grain output has reached half of the total farmland output in other territories of Everta...

This sounds ridiculous, but under the influence of druid hybrid seeds, artificial rainfall, glutinous farming and fertilizer, the yield per mu has indeed reached this amazing level.
