king.

A contract appeared in front of everyone, and everyone's faces became gloomy.

This kind of naked distrust made everyone feel very uncomfortable.

Perhaps seeing everyone's concerns, the Lord of Darkness explained sincerely:
"Sorry, for everyone's safety, I have to be cautious!

If the news leaks out, I'm afraid our troops will be wiped out by nobles from all over the place before they can gather in time. "

This is a real problem. Compared with the noble group, the power of the cult group is too weak.

The reasoning is correct, but everyone did not dare to relax their vigilance at all, and stepped forward to check whether there was any problem with the contract.

Clearly, this mistrust does not exist in isolation.The representatives of the cult organizations present were not at ease with each other.

The contract was signed, but the estrangement was also buried.The next joint venture is destined to be oriented by their respective interests.

……

Falcon Kingdom, Opley Manor.

Representatives of emerging nobles from all over the kingdom gathered together, and as the initiator of the meeting, Viscount Catalino spoke first:
"Everyone, the topic that I invite you to discuss today is a bit heavy.

Everyone must have felt that the kingdom government dominated by veteran nobles has always been full of hostility towards us.

In the new round of amendments to the kingdom's laws, the terms of imposing additional tariffs appeared again.Once the bill is passed, almost all industries will be hit hard.

We have less than one-fifth of the seats in the parliament. As long as the proposal enters the parliament for voting, it is almost inevitable to pass! "

As soon as the voice fell to the ground, the atmosphere in the room became dignified.

As an island country, the development of the Falcon Kingdom is destined to be inseparable from the sea.

The established nobles occupy more than [-]% of the kingdom's land. Because they stand still, they missed the dividends of ocean trade and gave up the opportunity to the emerging nobles in vain.

Not surprisingly, the emerging aristocratic group that enjoyed the dividends of ocean trade has risen rapidly in just a few decades.

The old aristocratic group that felt the threat to their power status would naturally not let it go.

On the one hand, they actively participate in maritime trade, and on the other hand, they use their power to set up obstacles for the development of emerging nobles.

In this context, the contradictions between the two sides quickly arose.

Unwilling to give up their interests, the emerging nobles first launched a blockade at sea, causing heavy losses to the established nobles.

Then it confronted the old aristocratic group politically.It can be seen from the expressions of everyone that they have fallen into a disadvantage in the political game.

"Dear Viscount Catalino, what is the king's position now?"

Baron Miklos asked with concern.

The two camps of emerging aristocrats and established aristocrats confronted each other, and the king's position became crucial.

In fact, this dispute was originally caused by the king.

It's just that the power of the Falcon royal family is limited, and they have the ability to provoke the confrontation between the two camps, but they are unable to control the subsequent development of the situation.

The contradiction between the old and new nobles is not a problem that happens overnight.

Now the two sides are playing only the most representative ones, and the core essence is still the conflict of production models.

The established aristocracy relied heavily on agricultural production, while the emerging aristocracy was dominated by commerce.

If the emerging aristocracy wants to obtain a larger commodity market, it must smash the traditional production model, which is somewhat similar to a bourgeois revolution.

The difference is that the aristocratic group of the Falcon Kingdom is too powerful, and the capital has been attached to the aristocrats since its birth, and the two have merged to a certain extent.

"Your Majesty, you've been fighting with us all the time. It's almost impossible for him to stand up and support us!"

Viscount Catalino shook his head and said.

The emerging aristocratic group was supported by the previous king, but the current king relied on the support of the old aristocrats.Not having a clear-cut stand is already considered a support for them.

It's a pity that this little support is not enough for the emerging aristocratic group.If you want to level the political gap with the old aristocrats, unless you get the full support of the king.

"Everyone, don't embarrass the king. He is not in the right position. With the support of the veteran nobles, he has surpassed the second heir. How can he stand with us?

The enemy's sharp sword has pierced our chest, and now the best choice is to resolutely take thunderous means to fight back.The longer the time drags on, the worse the situation will be for us! "

Viscount Frolov said with a sneer.

As a young faction among the emerging aristocrats, he couldn't understand the style of the old aristocrats the most, and he had long wanted to overthrow this group of vested interests.

It's just that among the emerging nobles, many people are afraid of the background of the old nobles and dare not act rashly.

The situation is different now, the veteran nobles have already pushed to the door, and they have already touched the financial resources of all parties.

Every penny raised from the tariff is bleeding from them.It was obvious that the veteran nobles wanted to overturn the table and reshuffle the cards when they saw that they could not eat meat.

"Viscount Frolov, we don't have much chance of winning against the veteran nobles with our strength.

Everyone's development time is too short, and the power of the middle and lower classes may be able to surpass the veteran nobles, but the gap in the number of masters is still not small.

If you really get to that step, you will most likely die! "

Baron Oberstein said worriedly.

This is the voice of most emerging nobles. If they had overwhelming power, they would have taken action long ago.

"The greater the risk, the higher the reward!

What's more, we have no choice, unless everyone is willing to hand over the interests in their hands to others, and will serve as cattle and horses for the old nobles from now on.

In fact, cattle and horses are not so easy to do.They are too greedy, not only want us to sacrifice our lives, but also covet our flesh and blood.

Instead of sitting still and waiting to die, it is better to give it a go.The veteran nobles are indeed strong, but their power is too scattered.

We don't need to eliminate everyone at once, as long as we take control of the capital immediately after the action, and then disintegrate and disintegrate these old nobles.

Everyone can rest assured that after enjoying life for so many years, even if they are still lions, they are still well-clothed lions, and their combat effectiveness has long since ceased to be at its peak.

After seizing power, we can use the resources of the entire kingdom to cultivate our own high-end power.

......"

Viscount Frolov's alluring advocacy made many people hesitate, and the opposition was no longer so firm.

"Your Excellency, the Viscount is right, it is actually not difficult for us to launch a coup d'etat now.

The strength of the veteran nobles is scattered in various places, and most of our strength is concentrated at sea. We can take action at the same time and go straight to the king's capital to catch all parties by surprise.

However, the coup is only the first step, and the real challenge is after occupying the capital.Not only have to face the counterattack of the old nobles, but also consider international intervention.

Referring to past practice, more than [-]% of military coups eventually triggered international intervention.

The other [-]% of the exceptions are also due to the great changes in the international situation, and all parties have no time to interfere. "

The words of Baron Miklos once again awakened everyone's worries.

International interference is much more serious than the counterattack of the veteran nobles.Once the Terran Alliance decides that their coup is illegal, it will be the beginning of disaster.

Countries don't even need to send troops, just a "no-navigation order" can drive them to a desperate situation.

"This issue, everyone can rest assured. The Southern Continent and the Central Continent will soon be in chaos, and all parties will not care about us at that time.

We can wait for the signal before taking thunderous measures.Before that, everyone just needs to find an excuse to gather their strength. "

Viscount Catalino's words made everyone understand at once.

This is obviously well prepared!

If you didn't personally participate in the planning, how could you know that there was going to be trouble in the Southern Continent and the Central Continent?

According to the behavior style of the Terran Alliance, the mainland strategy has always been the priority.Even if it is just a turmoil in a fallen kingdom, it will attract more attention from the outside world than the Falcon Kingdom.

Back then, the establishment of the Falcon Kingdom was mainly due to the fact that the human race was too weak and did not have much confidence in seizing the hegemony of the mainland.

In order to preserve the inheritance of the human race, it launched an overseas expansion.The predecessor of the Falcon Kingdom was just a few reserve provinces, acting as the rear.

After the empire collapsed and the human race was divided, the Falcon Kingdom came into existence.

However, at that time, the human race had seized the hegemony of the mainland, and the strategic value of the Falcon Kingdom also declined.But overall it still plays the role of the rear, contributing to the human race's struggle for hegemony on the mainland.

It wasn't until the last few years that the human race became stronger and established a strategic victory, and the Falcon Kingdom gradually faded out of the mainland stage.

After the development of ocean trade, in order to make a fortune silently, the Falcon Kingdom is also deliberately reducing its sense of existence.

However, no one paid attention when it was low-key, and once something happened, it would still attract the attention of the outside world.

Especially sensitive events such as "coup d'état" are the most able to help everyone wake up memories.

The best option is to do more things to attract the attention of all countries so that they don't focus on themselves.

……

The wheel of history is rolling forward, and half a year has passed since the World of Warcraft base restarted in a blink of an eye.

Seeing countless pregnant female animals walking around the breeding base in groups, Hudson was very satisfied.

Judging from the current situation, there will be a Warcraft baby boom in a few months, and a few years later, there will be another army of Warcraft.

In fact, some Warcraft have already begun to give birth, but the proportion is not very high.The pregnancy cycle of most monsters is not short, of course, the exception of bird monsters.

For example: Griffin.

After the mating was completed, it didn't take long for the eggs to be laid, and they have now hatched.

I have to admit the strength of the dragon's blood. Originally, a nest of griffin eggs hatched at most one or two griffins, and the rest were reduced to beasts due to insufficient blood concentration. Now they are all monsters.

The only problem is that the number of eggs laid has dropped sharply, far behind the original.

But this is also a small problem, with previous incubation experience.Now it is completely possible to collect more eggs and hatch them together.

There are many similar operations, all of which are the accumulation of experience.In terms of the breeding experience of Kiadramon, the mountain leader has now ranked first in the mainland.

It is mainly due to Maxim's credit that other giant dragons will be in heat at most once during the limited life cycle of the dragon knight, and some of them will not.

In just a few years, two estruses are completely legends.Under normal circumstances, it is the female dragon that can make the dragon enter the estrus period in a short period of time.

If you are teased by a happy female dragon, even if you have just finished estrus, you can quickly start the second spring.

The outside world is speculating that Maxim was tricked by some unscrupulous mother dragon.Some people even secretly searched for this non-existent "mother scumbag dragon", just to make her scumbag her own dragon again.

"My lord, last night a member of the patrol found a letter outside. It was signed by a tauren, and the addressee is you!"

Tom's words made Hudson look confused.

"Could it be that the orcs want to play tricks again?"

But this is unreasonable, the crime of collaborating with the enemy is very serious, but it also depends on who falls on it.

Just a letter, trying to frame him for colluding with the orcs, it's a joke to say it.

Looking at the entire continent, who doesn't know that Master Hudson is the most active in fighting orcs!
Who would believe that a commander who killed the most number of orcs would be charged with "collaborating with orcs"?
It is almost used to frame the tauren!

Even if there was a collusion, it was his master Hudson who was splitting and disintegrating the orc empire, and it was by no means collaborating with the enemy.

Taking advantage of the situation, Hudson took the letter, and after a brief glance, Hudson was a bit dumbfounded.

The emotional tauren was discouraged, and wanted to be friendly with neighbors, so he wrote a letter to exchange business and trade.

Based on the gap in productivity between the two sides, Hudson has no intention of opposing this kind of commercial trade that is more beneficial to the kingdom.

Of course, the letter is about mutual trade, but in fact it is still a smuggling trade.

Whether it is the Alpha Kingdom or the Orc Empire, they all need face.

The smuggling trade is done casually in secret, and no one will take it seriously, but no one will let go of the ban on the surface.

"Tom, send someone to secretly release the news that the tauren intends to relax restrictions on smuggling trade.

Things are done a little bit more covertly so that no one can catch their tails.This kind of thing has nothing to do with us. "

It is impossible to reply to the letter. Hudson will not do such a thing of giving people a handle.

Besides, the mere tauren family is not worthy of his equal treatment.

Whether the content of the letter is true or not, let the smugglers below find out.If the restrictions on the border are really relaxed, the smuggling trade will become more convenient.

Hudson has always welcomed this kind of market expansion. The only pity is that the orcs are too poor.

You can tell by looking at the taxation situation. The special export tariffs collected by Xueyue Ling have not increased for two consecutive years, and there has even been a slight decline this year.

At first, Hudson thought that moths were born, and launched an anti-corruption operation within the tax collection system.Corrupt bureaucrats have caught a lot, but it hasn't had much impact on the decline in tax revenue.

Obviously, the number of participants is increasing, but the tax revenue is constantly decreasing. The core factor is: buyers have no money!
The current smuggling trade has changed from the initial money transaction to the current barter.

Once there is more supply of anything in the market, the price will inevitably decline.

Fur, which used to be priceless, is now almost reduced to the price of cabbage.Animals such as cattle, sheep and horses are also worthless in the Near East.

When many smugglers came back, out of optimism about the market prospects, they all paid taxes in kind to Hudson, the great lord.

If the market of the orc empire cannot be further opened, this kind of near-predatory trade will only become more and more difficult in the future.

In fact, even if the orc empire fully opened up the market, with their productivity level, the good days of the smugglers would not last for a few days.

In the past, the two sides were able to maintain a balance because the orc empire could come and plunder from time to time.

The wealth gained through robbery smoothed out the deficit in the smuggling trade.

There is nothing to grab now, and the result of the trade between the two sides is that the wealth of the orc empire is constantly passing away.

Anyone who is proficient in economics can see at a glance the crisis that the orc empire is facing.

It's a pity that this is an era that advocates force. As the ruling group, the orc royal family and royal family don't take economic issues seriously at all.

Especially the newly-rising royal family. In the past, they have always been poor, and they didn't find anything wrong with it.

They all planned to lead the army to snatch the wealth from the Alpha Kingdom when the empire regained its vitality.

Others did not discover the essence of the problem, but thought it was caused by insufficient military strength and the inability to go out to rob. As the enemy, Hudson, it was even more impossible to remind him.

Enemy, it's better to be stupid!
Bartering is good, this means that the commercial trade within the orc empire will be suppressed to the extreme.
