Arcane Lord

Hildarana showed her favor to Netheril on behalf of Ye Erlan, which was somewhat beyond Shado's expectations. Isn't she not dealing with King Mian? Why did you still take such a mission?

However, the accident turned into an accident, Xia Duozhao said bluntly, "Actually, the seven towers did not deliberately target Ye Erlan, but—"

"but what?"

"In this situation, if Ye Erlan wants to leave without paying anything, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to do!"

Hearing this, Hildarana's eyes suddenly flashed a shadow, but she still asked without changing her face: "What does Netheril want?"

"I just said that the Seven Towers did not deliberately target Yeerlan, but we hope that the southern area of ​​Sluvender, which has been occupied by Yeerlan, will become independent!"

"You want to make the southern region of Sluvand independent?!"

Hildarana reacted instantly and realized that this should be Netheriel's bottom line, and she also had a general understanding of the previous negotiations between various countries in Shado Floating City.

At present, the Sluvand area that Yeerlan has occupied is the focus of negotiation second only to the censorship of demons.

But for Hildarana, this is not unbearable. It must be known that Sluvender has been "supervised" by Yeerlan for thousands of years, especially the area near Yeerlan in the south, which has been influenced by Yeerlan in almost every aspect.

This kind of influence cannot be eliminated simply by changing the country or by becoming independent. That is to say, no matter which side the region ultimately belongs to, it will have little impact on Yeerlan's actual interests.

Even if it belongs to Ye Erlan, maybe it will be a burden that cannot be shaken off! After all, it has become the territory of the country, and many means that were originally used in the dependent countries can no longer be used.

But on the other hand, if they lose that area, the King Mian family will lose too much politically.

No matter how reasonable the reasons are, no one would be willing to bear the reputation of losing ground. Hildarana actually wanted something for this rare good thing that could severely damage the reputation of the crown prince!

At this moment, when Xia Duo made such a condition, her first reaction was not humiliation, nor embarrassment, but a surprise. King Mian's family already had the upper hand in Ye'erlan, but this war happened frequently. If he doesn't catch anything, King Mian will be the one who loses the most points in this war!

Hildarana and her faction's high-ranking family are actually not opposed to centralized reforms. What they really oppose is the excessive compression of their own authority under the new system.

In other words, if the reforms were led by them, they would even be more active and even more radical than King Mian, and correspondingly, they would also compress the authority originally belonging to King Mian to the extreme.

If the influence of the defeat in this war can be used to force King Mian to make concessions in the reform process, it will undoubtedly be a key victory for the opposition, which has gradually fallen into the disadvantaged and even completely lost.

"Lord Shado, the country will not agree to this matter easily, even if I promise you now, I don't think you will believe it, but what I want to say is that at least we have common interests in this matter, as long as There will be news of the independence of southern Sluvand coming back home in the talks tomorrow, and I will do my best to run this."

Although Hildarana said "try her best", her tone was very certain. If the southern area of ​​Sluvender was returned to Sluvender, it might not work well, but if it was just to let that side become independent In fact, there is still a chance, and the chance is not small.

After the news about the censorship rights of demon descendants was passed back to Taivimansa during the daytime talks, it immediately aroused unanimous opposition from the upper family. A few years ago, Netheril wanted to renegotiate the Mithril Agreement of the Three Kingdoms, but only once.

After that, news came out that King Mian wanted to carry out centralized reforms. After that, whether it was facing the rise of Netheril, dealing with the wave of orcs, or evaluating Cormanthor, the upper echelons of Yeerlan never had a unified opinion. .

Until now, the two biggest forces have formed in the country, one is the upstart force headed by King Mian, and the other is the ancient family line where Hildarana belongs.

Of course, Yeerlan's so-called ancient is different from the ancient families on Everska and Akola that can be traced back to before the Crown War.

Yeerlan is old and new, the difference lies in whether the family was formed before Yeerlan was founded.

There are only a very few real upper-class families who, with the idea of ​​investing heavily in a country, established Yeerlan together with those declining upper-class families.

The idea of ​​the ancient family line is that even the country is established by us. King Mian, you want to centralize power, have you asked us? Does the new system leave us a place of sufficient importance?

In fact, King Mian is also an ancient family, and he was a real upper family in the early days of the founding of the country. Otherwise, he would not have enough prestige to be recognized by all upper families. From the founding of the country to the present, the crown of Mian Wang was only circulated in the Herian family.

And those upstarts are actually not really emerging families. Most of them have various connections with the upper family, or branches or vassals, and they gradually developed.

In the past, the ancient lineage never thought that the domestic situation of Yeerlan would be so divided, and even gave the upstarts a lot of support with the idea of ​​​​spreading branches and expanding their wings, so that by this generation of crown kings, the upstart power has almost reached its peak.

In addition, there are also many elves within the ancient series who recognize King Mian's political philosophy~www.readwn.com~ eventually led to a result——

The reality is that the upper family that still holds most of the power in this country is going downhill in terms of momentum, actual strength, and future potential, and it is going faster and faster!

If it wasn't to avoid the civil war and the whole country to fall apart, perhaps King Mian would have pushed for reforms long ago.

In Hildarana's view, this key system reform was first proposed by King Mian, but this is also an opportunity for an ancient family lineage. If successful, their family will be completely bound to Yeerlan. , has been passed down ever since.

Correspondingly, this is also the last chance for all Yeerlan upstarts and even future emerging families. Once missed, if there is no huge reversal in the future, it will be difficult to succeed.

In fact, Hildarana was also faintly aware of the danger, not from the line of King Mian, but from the unease of the idea that only a few families would control a country.

This may be an important reason why many ancient families also stand on the side of King Mian, but the idea of ​​​​letting the family inheritance endure is also an irresistible temptation for many high-level mages.
