After hearing Galen's words, many relatives of the Crownguard family could not suppress their expressions of dissatisfaction.
Yes, in the past, when faced with the ferocious offensive of the Freljordians, they did consider offering money and supplies in exchange to bribe these barbarians to retreat - but in the final analysis, wasn't that just a plan?
Now that the battle to defend Mithril City is a complete victory, what does the little thought before mean?
None of us have ever experienced this kind of thing. We were just talking indiscriminately in the panic. Why bother to go online?
Why do these nobles from the Crown Guard family dare to propose this plan?
It is true that they are greedy for life and afraid of death and do not want their own interests to be harmed. On the other hand, more importantly, in their view, the Crown Guard family is one!
Although the clan and side branches sometimes have conflicts on some issues, in external situations, the interests of both parties should be completely consistent.
From their point of view, it was understandable that Galen did not implement the bribery plan, because under the circumstances, Galen's war could cleanse him of the shame of his previous poor combat; and similarly, the purpose of the war was to protect each family.
I don't want to waste too much money and my life on the life and death of those mud-legged people.
The two sides had differences on this point, which eventually led Galen to adopt tough military control, which was acceptable to the side nobles.
You, Galen, have a good sister. You won in the end. Before that, we were placed under house arrest, our manors were conscripted, and our warehouses were taken over. We accepted all of this!
However, after the victory, you used our previous conciliatory attitude as a threat, assuming that if you don't support you, you will settle the score. This is obviously wrong.
Why do you threaten us?
You know, in the eyes of outsiders, no matter the clan or the branch, they are all members of the Crown Guard family, and leaking the fact that someone wants to negotiate for peace will bring shame to the entire Crown Guard family.
You must know that if you propose peace but do not actually provide any supplies, you will not suffer any substantial punishment, but it will bring shame to the family. If Galen really leaks this matter, he will also be embarrassed.
!
We are all members of the Crown Guard family. Although there are branches of the clan, they are truly all prosperous and suffer losses. If you expose the matter, it is true that our branch Feng Ping will be harmed, but your clan will be.
Feeling better?
No one would say that the clan family was exterminated out of righteousness. They would only say that the entire Crownguard family is a nest of snakes and rats. They would even say that the power of Demacia, like you, Galen, is in name only.
Do you have a problem in your head? You want to expose this matter after the fact and make everyone look bad?
Moreover, with such no room left, do you, Galen, want to directly start an internal strife among the Crown Guards, causing the Zong family to break up?
Yes, you are a clan, and your father is the clan leader, so he has the final say in family affairs.
But there are only five people in your family - oh, Tiana and Laxana are no longer counted, there should be only three people left - without our help, how can your family of three be so popular in Xiongdu?
Want something spicy?
The members of your clan are all in high positions, either as marshals and generals who hold military power, or as future stars in the Dauntless Vanguard. But don’t forget that in our Demacia, even the most respected officers themselves have no
How much is the salary? Every brick and brick of Xiongdu Crown Guard Manor was built with the support of Mithril City!
In the entire Demacia, which family has not taken root in the fiefdom, and the clan has expressed its ambitions in the capital?
Now you, Galen, have a big face. With just one mouth, you are going to expose things that we have planned before but have not yet implemented. The things that show your face belong to your clan. Should our branch be stepped on by you?
Now that Misilin City is under military control, will Misilin City still be under military control in the future?
After a moment of astonishment, many side nobles rushed towards Galen. Some even raised their fists regardless of their grace. Then, under Galen's instruction, these people were all stopped by Galen's guards.
, and looking at these guards who were extremely supportive of Galen, many nobles from the side branches felt as if a basin of cold water was poured over their heads, from the top of their heads to the soles of their feet.
In this situation... maybe Galen can really do it!
The confidence of these side nobles of the Crown Guard family ultimately comes from their control of Mithril City. In the huge Mithril City, the side nobles of the Crown Guard family are united and intertwined, and their people are everywhere.
It is no exaggeration to say that without their support, the Zong family would not be able to do anything in Misilver City.
However, under the current situation, Galen, who has the power of victory, may really be able to change this situation.
Henchal died in battle, and the entire Northern Second Army was without a commander for the time being. Even if Xiongdu responded immediately, it would probably be at least a few months before the new commander came here and took office—
—Although Mithral City is located in the north, the nobles who are willing to come here to command the Second Legion can all be lined up from the Grand Square to Dawn Castle. It is not that easy to find a suitable candidate!
Although the military situation is urgent, the Freljord's barbarians have just been killed and defeated, and Mithril City has suffered another flood. Compared with a rash change of commanders, I am afraid that Xiongdu is more willing to see Garen take charge here.
situation for a period of time.
Who doesn’t know that the head of the Crown Guard family is the famous loyal dog of the royal family?
……………………
As if silence was contagious, the entire banquet hall soon became eerily quiet.
Then, just when everyone was unsure whether Galen really planned to implement complete military control, and when they were hesitant, the door to the banquet hall was suddenly opened.
A gust of cold wind blew in.
Many nobles subconsciously looked in the direction of the door, and then they could no longer contain the panic in their hearts, and their eyes widened in disbelief.
With six royal guards in tow, Lux walked into the banquet hall with a smile on her face.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! She is wearing a light blue dress, which shows her slim figure to the fullest. Anyone who sees it will say "What a handsome girl"
.
However, for the nobles from the Crown Guard family present, the bright red flowers on the skirt of this light blue dress reminded them of some not-so-pleasant memories!
Especially when Lux held the hilt of the sword and glanced at everyone's vital points as if inadvertently, this uneasiness almost solidified!
After all, just six years ago, Lux was like this. Wearing a clean dress and holding a long sword that seemed to be just a ritual weapon, she easily cut off Cordola's arm and killed him.
Killed on the spot.
For this aunt of the Crown Guard family, many nobles from the Crown Guard branch present were afraid to the core!
This time they dared to besiege Galen, largely because they got the news that Laxana was exhausted and went to rest early.
Who would have thought that this aunt didn't go to rest, but was waiting here!
"Why are everyone silent?" The smile on Lux's face was sincere and bright, but when it fell into the eyes of these uncles, it made them feel as if they were falling into an ice cave. "Keep playing music and keep dancing!"
Who dares?
In the awkward silence, Lux shook her head as if she had expected it, and then waved her hand to the Archon behind her.
Then, these royal guards were not polite at all, and ran directly to the orchestra's position, "borrowed" various instruments from the orchestra, and started playing on the spot.
Since Sona is one of the main education leaders of the Archon, the Archons also have many small music groups of their own in their spare time. Although only two of the Archon who came with Lux have actually practiced piano, they
The other four were more or less able to show off, and after tinkering for a while, the six of them actually "played" a dance song that was quite outrageous in the literal sense.
The extremely clumsy performance echoed in the gorgeously decorated banquet hall of Mithril City, filling the scene with an indescribable weirdness. Many nobles from the side branches looked at each other, extremely embarrassed but did not know what to do.
Under this situation, Galen took the initiative to walk to the center of the dance floor and began to twist his body like a bear and wave his arms up and down, almost blocking the beat.
Seeing this scene, the other nobles finally ignored their grace and stepped onto the dance floor one after another, starting a wild dance of demons.
Finally, as the song ended, Lux picked up a glass of wine and raised it high.
"Then, let us raise our glasses and wish the Northern Fortress a successful completion, and wish Misilin City long-term peace and stability!"
……………………
Under the threat of Galen and Lux, the nobles of the Crown Guard branch of Mithril City finally acquiesced to their request to contribute money and help to build the northern fortress.
After the banquet, Galen excitedly held Lux and talked for a long time. He did not hide the fact that these "uncles" had deceived him as a fool. His words were full of elated excitement.
Lux also smiled and responded to her brother who was smiling like a bear. After he had laughed enough, she told him to rest early - Galen's injury was not completely healed today. He took the lead during the day and blocked the Winter's Claw attack in the port area.
The leading force, which delayed a lot of time, is now holding on.
Then, when Galen nodded in agreement, hoping that Lux would also rest early, and finally left, Lux, who had been smiling before, could no longer smile.
Galen was pleased with the results of this pressure.
However, Lacus was actually not satisfied in her heart.
In Galen's eyes, it was a good choice to let the branch of his family manage the fiefdom. Although the clan and the branch had differences, the two sides could always discuss it and sometimes each could take a step back.
But in Lux's view, Mithril City can actually develop better.
In other words, it was precisely because Fosbairo personally led a series of reforms that when she looked back now, she felt that these relatives of hers were particularly hateful.
Mithril City is also located in the north, but its climate is much better than that of Forsbarrow, and it can even grow winter wheat.
Unfortunately, compared to Forsbarrow, who was prospering and everything seemed to be developing in a better direction, Mithril City felt dull to her, like a pool of stagnant water.
Lux had previously promoted a group of disaster patrol knights in Mithral City. Those people were all experienced farmers with many years of experience. Kalya personally interviewed them.
In addition to reporting disasters, these disaster patrol knights were also tasked with supervising agricultural production. At the time, Lacus did not fully understand why Kalya had such persistence, thinking that it was just to cause some trouble for the nobles on the side.
It will not hide the truth and at the same time give farmers a way out.
But after Forsbarrow's Fouquelin team cooperated with herb collectors to jointly study the cultivation of fragrant red sage, Lux has realized the significance of this kind of technical exchange.
When she came to Mithril City this time, she found that only half of the disaster patrol knights she had appointed were left, and no more were added in the future.
At this moment, Lux realized very clearly that the aristocratic rule of Demacia brought not only the oppression of the nobility on the heads of the common people - more importantly, the existence of the nobility itself had hindered the
Further development of the entire country!
It is precisely because he has been to the most barren places and seen the miracle of Shurima in the yellow sand; it is precisely because he has presided over Zaun's three-year plan and led the changes in Forsbarrow. Lux understands this better than anyone else.
, Mithril City, or Demacia as a whole, has amazing development potential!
And because of the existence of the aristocratic system, Demacia's development potential can only be development potential and cannot be realized at all.
In fact, after getting to know Kalya and seeing the huge separation between nobles and commoners, Lux has been thinking about a question: What does the nobility mean to Demacia?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At the beginning, Lux thought that the rights and obligations of the nobles were equal, because the nobles had to go to the battlefield to defend the country, and the clan of the Crown Guard family was also called
He is worthy of being a loyal martyr of the times.
But later, Lux was surprised to find out from the mouths of common people that the nobles' sacrifice for the country was an elusive opportunity for many common people.
In this case, Lux believed that the biggest problem between nobles and commoners was fairness. Compared with commoners, nobles inherently had more rights.
This realization made Lux even have self-doubt to a certain extent, as if nobility itself was a kind of original sin.
It was at this stage, under Kalya's plan, that Lux left Demacia and came to Zaun, where she saw an unprecedented form of organization and division of labor. Under Kalya's guidance, she led
Zuan’s first three-year plan.
In the eyes of the people of Zaun, Lux and Ino are fierce girls sent from heaven, but in fact, in the past few years, Lux has been studying and thinking. In Zaun, she truly realized that development can bring
What, for the first time, I truly understood what the "original sin" of the Demacian nobles was.
Three years later, she and Ino left Zaun and traveled across the vast Dashai Desert. Along the way, they saw many ruins of the former Shurima Empire, felt the glory of the former Shurima Empire, and saw
Countless people miss the once great empire.
Sometimes Lux wonders, if Demacia is gone, will people in the future still miss Demacia?
No matter how many times you think about it, the answer may be no - Demacia has its own glory and history, but if one day this kingdom is destroyed like the Shurima Empire, the people who live on this land will probably
I will not miss Demacia.
Time will dilute and eliminate the traces of Demacia's existence, instead of becoming a sheep, a thousand river dam, and an underground waterway like the Shurima Empire, remaining with people forever.
Later, when she returned to Demacia, when Lux was telling the history to the Archon and the soldiers, the teachings were mutually beneficial. She was also reviewing this history and the confusing past, and as Forsbarrow
At the beginning of great development, at this moment, Lux finally had a conclusion about what Demacia's nobles were.
They were once the pioneers who opened up this country, and they were also the heroes who protected countless people in the Rune Wars. However, with the development of the times, the system they left behind and their descendants have become the continuation of the Demacian people.
obstacles to progress.
Now, my mission is to smash these obstacles, sweep the old aristocracy and aristocratic politics into the garbage dump, and keep the meaningful parts in the museum.
Starting from Forsbarrow and Mithril City, we will continue to build on the past and create a new era.
