For the nobles of the Crownguard family in Mithral City, great tragedy and great joy came too quickly.
From the panic when approaching the city, to the aftermath of a great victory; from the complacency in planning to annex land and stores, to the embarrassment and anger when someone disrupts the situation; from the gnashing of teeth when the traitor is discovered, to the surprise after Laxana, the aunt, takes action again
indefinite……
During the period after the victory in the Battle of Mithril City, their hearts were subjected to extremely severe tests one after another.
From their perspective, Laxana's subsequent management of the overall situation is likely to have reached some agreements with the five traitors - after all, these five companies seemed to have acquired Laxana's company with real money.
Merger share.
Well, wait a minute, while these five families are lending food to civilians, they are also acquiring Laxana's share of the merger. Do they have so much supplies?
Thinking about this, many people couldn't help but murmur in their hearts. Could it be that the guide behind all this is that aunt?
If it were her, she would indeed be able to connect these five families with the Second Legion, but the question is, what is her purpose in doing so?
Everyone knows that Fossilona is a place where food is imported every year. It is a normal method to sell the annexed share and then take the obtained food materials back to develop the territory. You can see
Clear income.
Is she a great philanthropist by lending food to the civilians of Mithril City at this time?
After much thought, judging from the current situation, the most likely possibility is that these five families promised Laxana greater benefits (such as more food supplies after autumn), and then after some operations, they became
The conscientious nobles among the civilians of Mithril City are taking advantage of this great reshuffle to seize as much market share as possible under the new order.
And Laxana's great aunt followed the trend and caused some trouble for the side nobles of Mithril City who were almost monolithic. After this incident, it will no longer be possible for Mithril City to fake natural disasters and reduce taxes as before.
.
Considering that the Second Legion also gained a reputation in this matter, perhaps during the subsequent construction of the northern fortress, these companies have reached some tacit understanding with the Second Legion, by destroying everyone's food.
Pot, expand your network of relationships.
For nobles, prestige and connections are as valuable as land. Although these five families are isolated from the noble network of Mithril City, they have close relations with the military and Laxana's Fosby.
Luo got closer - this was the only possible reason that others could think of for such an operation.
Therefore, in the eyes of other nobles of the Crownguard family, the image of these five families as ambitious and eager to take advantage of the chaos has been completely established since then - these five families have definitely experienced the experience of Mithril City.
After the defense battle, I determined that the Northern Territory would be turbulent, and I wanted to plan ahead, abandoning short-term interests and harmonious relationships within Mithril City, and strive to make a big fortune in terms of military exploits or trade.
No one has thought that the cause of all this was just Lux's unwillingness to sit back and watch a large-scale land annexation occur in Mithral City.
In the main city of Mithril City, the frequency of banquets for side nobles is decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After this incident, although the side nobles are not said to be in vain, at least in a short period of time, most people need to carefully think about their situation and consider their next choices.
The aristocracy is a conservative and stubborn group, but no matter how conservative and stubborn the group is, after experiencing such great tragedy and joy, I am afraid they need to think carefully about what to do next.
……………………
It is not only the Crown Guard nobles of Mithril City who are experiencing internal divisions.
At the end of the Mithril Battle, Lux directly caused a wave of panic and everyone came out. After the originally extremely strong Winter's Claw tribe suffered such a heavy blow, it is now on the verge of splitting.
As a typical Freljord tribe, the Winter's Claw completely fits the description of "it flourishes and dies suddenly".
After Sejuani defeated her mother in a duel and became the war mother of Winter's Claw, she expelled the Frostguard priests in the tribe, vigorously accepted all capable and fighting strong men, and actively plundered
, expanding its own sphere of influence, which directly led to the full rise of Winter's Claw, and in just a few years it became a huge force in the central Freljord, centered on the Sanjigra Plain.
In this process, Sejuani fully demonstrated the ability of a "traditional war mother of Freljord". She used her strength and charm to attract a large number of ice travelers, and with constant plunder and victory, she
Among them, those who withstood death and elimination gradually became die-hard loyalists.
In this way, Sejuani even launched a long-distance attack last winter that seemed incredible from the perspective of the Freljordians, and fought a battle with Avarosa who was defending the city.
After a fifty-fifty battle, they also plundered the frozen plains when they returned to the army.
There is no doubt that from the perspective of the Freljord people, Sejuani can be called a heroic figure. In addition, Winter's Claw is a blood descendant of Serelda, one of the three sisters. It seems that Sejuani
It is not impossible to dominate the Freljord.
However, if a tribe has no internal accumulation and relies on continuous victories to unite, once it encounters a defeat, its lack of foundation will be exposed instantly.
We took refuge in Winter's Claw because Winter's Claw is strong enough. If you lose, it means you are not strong enough. In this case, why should we rely on you?
Therefore, when the Winter's Claw collapsed under the Mithral City, and the news that War Mother Sejuani's life and death were unknown, along with the defeated army, returned to the Sanjigla Plain, the Winter's Claw, which originally had the potential to swallow the sky,
, it fell apart almost instantly.
Since Sejuani took away a large number of elites, only ten of them escaped back to Freljord. Many tribes that were suppressed by the Claws of Winter in the past found the opportunity to counterattack, even in the severe cold of winter.
, I also want to give Winter’s Claw a good look!
Under this situation, without unified leadership and cohesion, Winter's Claw seemed to have suddenly changed from the Leviathan Whale to the Leviathan Whale Fall, from a strong man who oppressed all living beings to countless little ones.
The nourishment of the tribe.
When Sejuani, who lost her sworn father Udyr, her mount Steelmane, and half of her body, struggled to return to the Freljord with a simple crutch made of two branches, she faced a mess.
The sight made her almost despair.
Foreign enemies and internal fighting. In this winter, Winter's Claw exhausted its last bit of vitality. When Sejuani reluctantly found a battle flag and erected it on the Sanjigla Plain, only a group of hungry ice giants appeared.
magic.
Sejuani, who had lost half her body and no flail of the North Wind, had almost no power to resist when faced with these foraging ice trolls.
Picking up her crutches, Sejuani ran away. As she was searching for a glacier crevice that could bring her the last trace of dignity, she heard a wild voice.
