king.

Chapter 331
In the Emerald Palace, Caesar III was looking out the window and sighing.The news of Hudson's wedding came out, reminding his son that it was time to start a family.

As the top family in the mainland, Crown Prince Caesar has been a favorite since birth, and there are many people who want to marry him.

Even excluding unequal status, the range of options is wide.It is precisely because there is too much room for choice that it actually drags things down.

As the Crown Prince of the Alpha Kingdom, this marriage was doomed, full of political factors.

Until the outbreak of the orc invasion war, Caesar III did not make up his mind.After such a delay, the situation changed.

An experience that was supposed to be a military achievement, unexpectedly exposed his shortcomings to his son who was almost perfect in the eyes of the outside world.

The matter was settled by Caesar III, but it is an indisputable fact that the crown prince's evaluation in the eyes of the outside world has plummeted.

Blessings are unparalleled until misfortunes never come singly.

It's fine if one's personal ability is questioned. Political marriages often give more consideration to the forces behind them, and the ability of the parties is a secondary factor.

However, at this juncture, the strength of the Alpha Kingdom has also been severely damaged, and it will not be able to recover its vitality at all if it does not rest for more than ten or twenty years.

If that's all, Crown Prince Caesar is still a high-quality marriage partner.Originally, the investment in marriage is the future, and it is not a loss to wait more than ten or twenty years to obtain a strong ally.

It is a pity that in the international competition, the Alpha Kingdom has shown signs of decadence.Not only is it lagging behind the countries in the south economically, but it is also lagging behind in military technology.

With the combination of many factors, the marriage value of Crown Prince Caesar will inevitably decline.

Originally, Caesar III planned to marry the Kingdom of Franks, and the two great powers of the South and the North echoed each other, but now he can't speak.

"Your Majesty, I just received the news that civil strife broke out in the Warhammer Kingdom. At present, we don't have much information, and we are temporarily unable to determine where the situation will develop!"

Earl Francis said worriedly.

What the decimated Alpha Kingdom needs most is time. The turmoil in the Warhammer Kingdom at this time is bound to stir up the situation in the North Continent.

Whatever happens next, it will be a disaster for the Alpha Kingdom.Even if the best opportunity comes to your door, you can't grasp it if you don't have enough strength in your hands.

"Stay neutral and wait and see. For a long time to come, we will not be able to interfere in foreign affairs!"

While speaking, Caesar III couldn't help but sighed.Faced with such a change, there are not many options left for the Alpha Kingdom.

Deep down in his heart, he had made up his mind to marry the Principality of Moxi.The two countries have been turned into "bad brothers and bad brothers" by the war, and the situation is a little bit better than that of the Warhammer Kingdom. At this time, they just hold together to keep warm.

It took until now to make a decision, mainly because the problems faced by the Principality of Moxi were more serious than those of the Kingdom of Alpha.

Everyone borrowed money to survive together, and walked on the verge of bankruptcy. Caesar III knew better than the outside world how big the financial hole of the Principality of Moxi was.

According to the information collected in his hands, he can easily draw the conclusion that at this moment, the Principality of Moxi has embarked on the road of repaying the old with the new.

Even with a "debt repayment tax," they won't collect much until production generally resumes.

If there is a choice, Caesar III is definitely unwilling to choose an in-law full of "trouble" for his son.

It's a pity that at this point, he can't care so much anymore.No matter how troublesome the Principality of Moxi is, it is also one of the important countries in the northern continent.

If you want to quickly stabilize the situation in the North Continent without giving other human forces the chance to intervene, the two join forces is the best choice.

"Your Majesty, after contacting all the large and medium-sized nobles in the kingdom, we have initially reached an agreement on the issue of building a magic beast cavalry corps.

Everyone's enthusiasm is very high. At present, we have recruited 580 six female animals. After the elimination and screening, there are 310 seven females left.

This number is still growing, and those who have the conditions are forming animal traps and doing their best to build the Warcraft Cavalry Legion.

The Earl of Hudson has also coordinated, and there is no problem.Let's see when his red dragon can enter the estrus period! "

Grand Duke Affiero said solemnly.

For the smooth development of this plan, he, the Minister of Military Affairs, was exhausted.In a short period of time, it is not so easy to coordinate the relationship between dozens of nobles in the kingdom.

However, no matter how much he did, he still could not satisfy Caesar III. There are more than 300 female beasts, which seem to be a lot, but they are actually from multiple races, and they are all low-level monsters.

It's not that there are no mid-level and high-level Warcraft kingdoms, but these races with high intelligence are not suitable for breeding animals at all.

"Warcraft Cavalry Legion", just by hearing the name, you know that the scale is not small.If you want to scale up in a short period of time, it is doomed to force ripening manually.

Considering the input cost, the ripening magic potion used on a large scale is obviously not a high-end product, and the side effects are definitely not small.

The level of the female beast is low, the key is that after the specific subdivision, the number of the same kind of monster is actually not much.

Even if these demonic beasts are very fertile and can produce litter by litter, it will take time to settle down if they want to scale up.

Considering the accidents that may happen in the middle, it is not known when the real results will be produced.

"I have already said hello to the Mage Association. They will send people to help. Now send these female beasts to the mountain collar, so as not to miss the opportunity.

Aphrodisiac potions are also prepared, in case the red dragon's estrus period is not within the year that Earl Hudson said, maybe it can still be used.

This matter is for Earl Hudson to decide for himself, and he must not make his own decisions and offend the dragon to death.

Prime Minister, for the Earl of Hudson's wedding, you will go there on behalf of the royal family, and discuss the relevant details by the way. "

Caesar III said solemnly.

The biggest reason why the Kingdom is so eager to recruit female beasts is the information provided by Hudson: the red dragon Maxim's estrus period may be at the end of the year.

It is just a "possibility" that makes the whole kingdom busy, which is enough to prove that everyone attaches great importance to this matter.

……

The news of Hudson's big wedding in the Principality of Moxi had an impact no less than that of the Kingdom of Alpha.

The second thing is that everyone has fought the gun together. The key is that the Moxi people also missed Maxim's waist.There is no way, the seeds of the dragon are so sought-after.

Among the Warcraft group, there are indeed some that can rival the giant dragon in combat power alone.However, these equally talented and powerful races do not have the talent to be a stallion.

Except for the giant dragon, which is an alternative that can cross races and release its own seeds as much as it wants, most other monsters have a very specific aesthetic.

Even if there is occasional interracial reproduction, it is only a very small number and does not have universal representation.

On the issue of forming the Warcraft Legion, compared with the research of the Alpha Kingdom, the Principality of Moxi has actually gone further.

It's a pity that most of the research they conducted was theoretical research, and even if there were experiments, it was a small-scale breeding of monsters.

As for the result, let’s not mention it.If there is a big result, it won't be so badly beaten by the orcs.

"Two months later, Marshal Hudson will have a big wedding. This is a good opportunity. I plan to go there myself!"

As soon as George finished speaking, there was an uproar immediately.

"Your Majesty, there are too many things involved in your personal visit, and according to the etiquette procedures, you should go to the royal capital to visit the host Caesar III first, and the time can't be arranged!"

Prime Minister Herceg hurriedly persuaded.

The king's visit is a big event. After a set of cumbersome procedures, let's not say that he is going to attend a wedding. Maybe it will be next year.

"The prime minister is right. It is indeed too late to set off at this time. So let's do it, Count Renato, go there for me.

By the way, find an opportunity to communicate with Caesar III, and test whether we can join their Warcraft Legion plan.

It's a pity that the Warhammer Kingdom is currently in civil strife. Otherwise, if they join, the probability of the Alpha Kingdom agreeing will be even greater.

But this is not a big problem. The Alpha Kingdom has been focusing on the issue of fighting the orcs in the past few years, and has no energy to distract him at all.

Now starting from scratch, if you want to build a Warcraft Legion, the problems you face cannot be solved in a day or two.

Our joining, although we can't guarantee how much this time can be advanced, at least we can help them share the cost.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs seized the time to contact the northern countries to try to reach an agreement on this issue.If you want to catch up with the southern countries, joining forces is the best choice, and Caesar III should not refuse.

Count Renato, this time your mission is heavy.If the Alpha Kingdom rejects us, then you have to find a way to convince Earl Hudson to help us secretly. "

George said with a serious face.

After experiencing the orc invasion, the principality of Moxi attached great importance to the development of military affairs, and it was almost to the point of madness.

After seeing the power of the Warcraft Cavalry, George came up with the idea of ​​building his own Warcraft Cavalry Legion.

However, the gap between ideas and reality is always so great.The Principality of Moxi, whose vitality was severely injured, was clearly at a disadvantage in this arms race.

Choosing to join hands with the Alpha Kingdom at this moment is also a choice of last resort.But when there are better options, no one is willing to give up the dominance.

"Your Majesty, the principality's finances are out of money!
Judging from the tax collection situation in various places, the result is quite unsatisfactory.Many noble lords used the war bonds issued by the Principality to offset their taxes.

When it comes to the credibility of the bond, the tax department cannot refuse this kind of offsetting behavior.It is expected that there will be a huge deficit in this year's fiscal revenue, and it is very likely that there will be difficulties in the next bond redemption.

At such times, it is difficult for the Ministry of Finance to squeeze out large amounts of funds.So in the next..."

Seeing George's gloomy face, the Chancellor of the Exchequer also looked helpless.It wasn't that he wanted to pour cold water on the king, it was because the financial hole of the Principality of Moxi was too big.

Affected by the war, not only the government's finances are in short supply, but most of the nobles in the principality have financial problems.

Now everyone is using war bonds to offset taxes, which is actually a last resort.The territory is in the midst of a waste of time, and the life of the nobles is not easy.

Other taxes are easy to say, if there is no tax, there will be no tax.Only the "repayment tax" is apportioned according to the fiefdom, regardless of whether the territory is profitable or not, it has to be paid.

It is still good to be able to use war bonds to offset.In some areas, nobles and lords even collectively resisted taxes, asking the principality to suspend tax collection on the grounds of lack of money.

In the face of a group of really poor nobles, the Ministry of Finance has nothing to do, and can only passively accept the tax arrears of the noble lords.

"Understood, didn't I ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to bring in other countries to act together! We share the cost together, and the initial investment should not be too large.

When a large investment is really needed, or when it is popularized on a large scale, there should not be too much pressure in a short period of time.

If the government's financial pressure is a problem, then continue to discover bonds!Now that the war is over and the principality is in a period of ruins, the newly issued bonds are called construction bonds! "

George said indifferently.

When he first took over the throne, he also didn't think about eating and drinking because of the debt problem.I tried everything, but in the end I couldn't solve the problem.

After an accidental communication with Hudson, George started his bad career.As long as you don't want to solve the problem, then there is no problem.

With a change in his thinking and concept, George suddenly found that the troubled debt problem was not so difficult.

Continue to borrow if you have no money, and use the funds raised from the new bonds to pay the interest on the previously issued bonds.

Theoretically speaking, as long as the credit does not collapse, this model of borrowing new money to repay old money can continue forever.

Heavy debt costs, which may lead to financial bankruptcy in the future, are better than financial bankruptcy now.

As long as we survived the most difficult time and waited for the principality's economy to recover, things might still turn around.

……

As the wedding day approached, Hudson became more and more busy.He got flustered, and at one point he even suspected that monogamy was prevalent in the continent of Aslante because getting married was too troublesome!
Originally thought that becoming a great nobleman would be able to break the shackles of the rules and gain a higher degree of freedom.I didn't expect that this was just coming out of one besieged city and entering another besieged city.

"Freedom", just think about it.If there is a joke at the wedding, the title of nouveau riche may be difficult to remove in this life.

Hudson doesn't care. No matter how everyone criticizes secretly, no one dares to run in front of him.

But the Koslow family can't afford it.Whatever the strong do is easier to be understood and accepted.But the backlash caused by this will fall on the children of other families.

The main issue is mentality. If one's heart is strong enough, one can completely ignore the opinions of the outside world.It's a pity that most people are ordinary people and cannot bear the pressure of public opinion.

"How did you get here?"

Seeing Isabel entering the new house, Hudson was speechless.Although the bride has not yet started, it is obviously inappropriate for the lover to come to the wedding room first.

In order to avoid trouble, the lord's mansion that Isabel had already moved out of was arranged in a house in the west of the new city.

But moving away doesn't affect her coming to visit.In fact, most of the time, Isabel still stayed in the Lord's Mansion.

No one took such a small matter seriously.No one, including the Holliser family, expressed any objection.

It was just a mistress. In their view, if there were no accidents, Hudson would have many mistresses in the following years, but there was always only one main wife.

No matter how favored a lover is, he can't stand the waste of time.When the face gets old, everything will return to normal.

"I can't be the hostess here, I'll come and visit the hostess' residence, it's okay!"

Isabel's coquettish tone made Hudson lose his temper.It was obvious that she felt threatened and came here to invite pets.

"Okay, people come and go here, it's not good for people to see!"

Facing the temptation to deliver it to his door, Hudson, who was a little overwhelmed, hurriedly spoke to dissuade him.

"Don't worry, I greeted them, no one dares to spoil the good things of you, the earl, at this time!"

With naked seduction, Hudson finally understood Isabel's purpose.Feelings want to come and enter the bridal chamber early, and I have to admit that a woman's jealousy is really terrible.

"Don't make trouble, Isabel. If this kind of thing gets out, I'm afraid it will be hard for you in the future.

Don't let jealousy blind you.Believe it or not, if you dare to play like this, after Melissa passes through the door, she can arrange a bunch of sisters for you to come in, and maybe even pull you to play with her...

I don't care, I enjoy it anyway.It will be miserable for some people, and it may be difficult to even get out of bed. "

Hudson's half-joke made Isabel turn pale with fright.

I never saw the newcomers laughing, but the old ones crying.If the main wife really keeps pushing people around her husband, all the lovers will be exhausted.
