The best plots don't need to be perfect and leave no room for doubt.
All it has to do is do the "right" thing at the critical time, and then everything goes as it should.
"San Antonio is in chaos."
Even passers-by and children can come to this conclusion.
The original Maria forces directly shrunk their sphere of influence, gave up a large area of the periphery, and opened up the road to San Antonio's most precious treasure, the Golden Plains, the continent's largest food producing area.
Duke Batlló ordered to shrink the defense range, and within just half a month, he strangely reached some kind of agreement with the demons in the Sapphiron Mountains, and the front line ceased fighting.
Now, his forces are frantically recruiting troops to prepare for war, but this time, his opponents may not be foreigners.
On the other side, Prince Winston, who is facing two fronts, is probably too anxious to sleep at night. As his backup, the Holy Church is also serious this time.
It is said that not only were two reorganized groups of Holy Knights dispatched, but two gods were also dispatched.
Wendy, the God of Mercy, and Finn, the God of Wheat (harvest), are the weakest new gods, but what they came down from are the true bodies of the true gods.
One has been a god for 120 years, and the other has been a god for 95 years. They are both followers of the Holy Light system.
The evaluations given by the goblins were that they were Transcendent Level 5 who had just reached the standard for the true form of a weak god. However, ten years ago, they were definitely the strongest beings who could not be defeated by anyone in the mortal world. It is difficult to say now.
Already.
The descent of the true god also represents an escalation of war, which has directly transitioned from a mortal war to a serious drama in which gods personally engage in hand-to-hand combat.
Although there have been high-end combat forces in the Elf Kingdom before, that was the old practice of the Demonic Tide.
And this time, it is said that it was also because the Abyss side used top combat power first and broke the unspoken rules.
Top-notch combat power appeared in the assassination? Now the goblins are spreading the news everywhere. The real assassin is Cavins, the prince of the abyss. Except for Duke Batro, who is the master of the suffering, most other forces also agree with this explanation.
After all, in the eyes of those in power, Roland has done a lot in this holy war, and the existence of the Lan Alliance also determines where he should be.
Perhaps, this is the explanation that most human kingdoms are willing to accept. After all, the location of the Lan Alliance is becoming more and more important.
In this regard, Bayer, the country of mages, and Oran have done the best. They supported my innocence on every occasion and praised me to the point where I didn't even recognize myself.
It's a little touching, but I also know that this is also because they are becoming more and more tied to Lan Meng. This explanation is beneficial to them.
But it's a pity that the bystanders can see clearly, but both parties involved can't see it. One side is pretending not to see it, and the other side can't explain clearly.
And the information about Duke Batlló was also unearthed. Bartó Keys, a contemporary member of the Keys family with a history of more than 500 years, is also a very powerful demon sorcerer.
He used to be Maria's staunch supporter and pursuer... When I saw this situation, I also felt that this guy's taste was really strong.
Anyway, it's just a poorly played set of princes and generals, Xiang Ning has the guts, and the emperor's position is replaced by someone else.
"It seems that there is some chaos in San Antonio."
I thought about it carefully, calculated the resources available at hand, and finally gave up the idea of intervening.
San Antonio is vaguely the most powerful country in the mainland. Its trees are big and attract the wind, and its tall people can support it when the sky falls. Now that the world is in chaos, naturally he is the first to suffer.
The sudden death of the former emperor and the civil war between the princess who used the power of the abyss and the prince who represented the traditional knight class had already left a shadow of discord.
This is not an accidental contradiction of individuals, but is determined by the national conditions of San Antonio.
The land is vast and the resources are vast, but it also needs sufficient strength to protect it.
The general slowness of communication in this era made it possible for the command of military forces to lie among the local generals. By sending a message from the capital, two months might have passed by the time they reached the border.
It is impossible to command blindly from a distance in the capital, so the knight class of San Antonio is quite pure and purely united around the Iron Hat Prince on the border.
Anyway, there must always be someone to control the troops at the edge of the town, and they should not be given to outsiders but to their own relatives. San Antonio is located in various border fortresses, which are the fiefdoms of the princes.
In contemporary times, there are twelve Princes of San Antonio, most of whom were originally the second sons born into the royal family and the children of side wives, and then blossomed in border fiefdoms and continue to this day.
It is easy to make a prince, but it is difficult to lose a prince. The eldest son inheritance system of territorial nobles is the cornerstone of feudal society. Why should the descendants of princes give up the territory of their fathers.
In recent years, the royal family has also seen the problem and has not named a new prince, but it is already too late.
To be a pure professional soldier, the knight class needs military merit. But if they want to perform meritorious service on the border, what they need to please most is not the royal family in the capital, but these princes.
Over time, there have naturally been rifts between the royal family and the powerful border princes, but this country is large enough and stable enough, and the royal family has always handled it carefully, and there have never been major problems.
At least, since there are checks and balances between the princes, and the royal family itself is also the strongest feudal noble in the country, no one will be stupid enough to take the lead before the royal family goes too far.
But in recent generations, the royal family has not been prosperous, and the princes have been tempted.
By the time of the previous generation of emperors, it was still barely able to maintain it, but the princes were already ready to make a move. According to the noble heraldry law, when the direct bloodline was severed, it was natural to find a successor from the branch line.
So, almost two months before the old emperor died suddenly, Maria's only brother also died unexpectedly.
Winston was the leader of the Royalists, but he was also the agent of the entire knightly class and feudal aristocracy.
The princess represents the supreme royal power, and all those who are loyal to the royal power naturally unite around her. However, in order to strengthen the royal power, she has done a lot to suppress her ambitious uncle and uncle.
Around her, there are spellcasters, military knights with civilian backgrounds, small commodity traders, and magicians and demon sorcerers who are considered dangerous elements. As long as she is loyal to the royal authority, she will not be picky about any origin.
New forces and traditional forces are incompatible by nature, and the battle between them is only a matter of time.
The unexpected sudden death of the old emperor was the trigger of the civil war.
The outbreak of the Holy War before allowed the two sides to reluctantly make peace. Now that Maria is dead, it is equivalent to completely tearing apart the foundation for peaceful settlement of civil strife.
Once the banner of revenge for the Lord fell, the reformists lost their so-called justice. As San Antonio people, they should obey the new royal family.
Maybe righteousness sounds illusory, but it affects everyone's heart.
Originally, they who were forcibly brought together by Maria would soon fall apart, but obviously, those reformists who had finally changed their destiny were unwilling to accept such a fate.
One side is the one who was sent to the gallows after being liquidated, and the other side is the founding hero after fighting hard. How to decide has been proven by facts.
Batllo is still preparing for war. I don’t know the day when the civil war started, but I know that on the day it ended, blood was shed on both sides, the city turned into ruins, and everyone from civilians to careerists suffered heavy losses, which can no longer be accepted.
It is only through the pain of war that it is possible to sit at the negotiating table.
The alliance between Duke Batlló and the forces of chaos has made the truth even more confusing, and everything has been plunged into fog.
I'm afraid no one can calculate how many conspiracies and calculations are involved, but the fact that a big tree attracts wind and San Antonio has fallen into this situation is probably the result of the conspiracy of all forces.
Maybe, instead of trying to prevent San Antonio from disintegrating, the major powers of mankind are now busy holding celebration banquets.
"San Antonio, there is no hope..." (To be continued.)
