From Wild Mage to Wizard King
Chapter 314 Changes in the External World
In Apocalypse City, after Roland had tidied up his appearance, he spent some time meeting Ido. From his hand, Roland received a gift from the old leader of the Glorious Knights.
After sending Ido away, Roland looked at the gift box he brought.
Looking at the gift box in front of him, Roland could sense that the Crown of Domination in his right hand was getting ready to move.
Opening the box, it was as Roland expected.
This was the last fragment of the Crown of Domination.
Looking at the last fragment in the gift box, Roland stretched out his right hand and controlled the Crown of Domination in his hand to absorb it.
As this last fragment merged into the Crown of Domination, Roland also gathered up the fragments that were infinitely close to 99%.
It can be said that Roland has basically gathered up the Crown of Domination, and the remaining fragments are basically impossible to find again. God knows where these fragments have drifted to.
Now, Roland only needs to be promoted to a high-level extraordinary person, prepare some materials, and refine the Crown of Domination, and then he can refine it into the Crown of Domination in its heyday.
However, the current conditions do not allow Roland to do this.
Roland put on the Crown of Domination again and looked at the empty box.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, opened the red cloth in the empty box, and took out the note under the core.
At this time, the old leader left him a note, explaining the source of the fragment and providing him with some information and reminders.
Although the old leader and Hess were looking for this fragment at the beginning, they received support from various forces in the Silver Empire, so they were able to find the last fragment and get it from the force that kept it.
This means that Roland's existence has entered the sight of various forces in the Silver Empire, and this fragment is one of the investments made by various forces to Roland.
Although being targeted by various forces is not a good thing, if the War Committee needs resource investment, this is also an opportunity.
The old captain said on the note that if Roland needed it, he could be Roland's middleman and help Roland get some investment or something.
If not, just pretend you haven't seen this note.
After reading the note given by the old captain, a flame ignited on his right fingertips and burned the entire note.
Roland would not seek investment from any Silver Empire forces.
Their investment is not free, just like the United Army in the south. Although the chaos in the United Army and the political situation is largely due to the absorption of the remnants of various knight kingdoms, it is also inevitable that the various Silver Empire forces have made trouble.
Now the power of the War Committee is centralized and the organization is clear.
Although there are factional divisions, they are mainly the Roland faction cultivated by Roland from the rebel period, the border faction that seamlessly transferred from the rebel border faction, and the civilian faction composed of civilians who were rapidly promoted from the administrative and military systems in the War Committee.
With the common goal of fighting against and eliminating the Green Tide, the conflicts between the three factions were not great. Under Roland's guidance, they were slowly merging, and the identities of the members of the three factions were becoming increasingly blurred.
In this case, why did Roland start a factional struggle within the committee for a little resource?
Investment from the Silver Empire was not easy to get. If he took their resources, they would definitely send people to interfere with the operation of the committee, which Roland definitely didn't want.
Instead of taking their investment, it would be better to make nature suffer again, increase the speed of squeezing, and exchange more food for resources. At most, the area of the dead land would be expanded a little more.
Roland shook his head, and after ordering the border soldiers to strengthen the border's vigilance, he reconnected the space anchor point arranged in the magic formation and teleported back directly.
The magic formation still needed him to build.
After returning to the magic formation, Roland didn't waste time. After changing into a set of convenient work clothes, he took the materials prepared and processed in the camp, and walked steadily into the dangerous magic formation.
Since the war to recover the lost territory ended and a large number of refugees were absorbed from the United Army, the War Council has completely quieted down and quietly developed.
All the personnel who recruited refugees and attracted extraordinary people in the United Army were also called back.
Except for the border fortresses, which still had endless trade, the War Council was almost completely isolated from the outside world, and no news was leaked.
However, although there was no news about the War Council, the various forces in the outside world would not stop turning because of this reason, and the world was still running.
In the south of the War Council, the political situation of the United Army had undergone a huge change.
When the various factions of the United Army continued to fight internally, Eleanor, who was ignored by the factions because she had been enjoying herself and not caring about government affairs, ended up.
Before being promoted to a legend, Eleanor was a nine-ring knight. As a nine-ring knight, she was conservative and respected in any knight kingdom, whether it was building a large-scale project, building a palace, recruiting harems, or buying slaves.
To be honest, these were all things she was tired of playing with before. How could she really indulge in pleasure because of these things? It's just a disguise.
Relying on an army that was secretly formed at an unknown time and the support of factions that were quietly won over, Eleanor relied on her status as the legitimate leader of the United Army and a large amount of evidence of infighting, assassinations, and even open combat among various factions to launch a major case in the United Army.
On the charge of murdering nobles, Eleanor removed a large number of noble positions at once, and a large number of remaining royal family members were also forcibly kicked out of the political situation by her.
Later, after a large number of positions were vacated, Eleanor quickly promoted nobles and extraordinary people who were loyal to him.
Among them, the second sons of various local families were promoted by Eleanor to appease the local families.
Relying on the means of a big stick and a candy, Eleanor quickly cleaned up the chaotic political situation of the United Army and successfully gathered the power of the United Army in her own hands.
However, the composition within the United Army was too complicated. Even though Eleanor turned a blind eye to the War Committee's behavior of luring refugees and extraordinary people, she excluded all extreme revengeists from the United Army.
At the same time, she also took advantage of the internal struggles of various factions to clear out a large number of factions.
However, the situation within the United Army was still very unstable.
After Eleanor took the opportunity to clean up most of the factions that were purely dragging down the coalition, the remaining factions also began to quickly form a group, forming a local faction composed of exiled nobles from Donnar, an Eleanor faction headed by Eleanor and loyal to her, and a silver faction interfered by various forces from the Silver Empire.
Therefore, Eleanor could only compromise. Eleanor established the coalition parliament and invited the three factions to jointly govern.
However, although the parliament was established, Eleanor used the crime of murdering nobles to severely suppress the other two factions. Therefore, the Eleanor faction still occupied the main position of the coalition, and Eleanor also firmly grasped the power of the coalition.
After replacing a group of nobles to rule the local area, Eleanor's control over the coalition was also significantly improved, and various taxes also increased significantly.
As for the extravagant style of the coalition, after Eleanor physically eliminated the hedonists and took away all their wealth, this extravagant style was also quickly suppressed.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Eleanor was finally able to abandon the shackles of various factions and officially began to expand the army, and the true potential of the joint army was successfully unleashed.
At the same time, big news also appeared in Sinar.
The first offspring of the current emperor of the Silver Empire and the princess of the Kingdom of Inter was officially born in Ginza.
As the one who has the inheritance rights of the two most powerful human kingdoms in Sinar, the Silver Empire and the Kingdom of Inter, his birth has attracted the attention of countless people since the beginning.
As the common heir of the two human kingdoms, he was treated very solemnly during his embryonic period, and a lot of resources were invested in him.
Therefore, on the day of his birth, visible elemental waves briefly appeared above Ginza. He perfectly inherited the talents of both parents, and even possessed talents far beyond his parents.
The Silver Emperor and the King of the Kingdom of Inter were very happy about this news.
According to the peace treaty between the Silver Empire and the Kingdom of Inter, when the child grows up, he will inherit the crown of the Silver Empire and the crown of the Kingdom of Inter, becoming the common emperor of the two countries.
When the Silver Emperor and the King of Inter were happy, some people were not very happy. Whether in the Silver Empire or the Kingdom of Inter, there were people who did not want to see the Silver Empire and the Kingdom of Inter develop into a common federation.
Therefore, these dissatisfied people turned their eyes to the baby who had just been born in this world.
According to the content of the peace treaty, only the first offspring of the Silver Emperor and the Princess of Inter had the right of inheritance of the two countries, so as long as he died, there would be no possibility of a common federation.
Therefore, in the month of his birth, an assassination of him shook the entire human world of Sinar.
In the palace of Ginza, the newborn baby was assassinated by several three-ring death warriors.
In the heavily guarded palace, the death warriors arrived at the baby's palace without hindrance and killed him.
Although the assassins failed to succeed and were killed by the guards arranged by the Silver Emperor, the newborn baby was also seriously injured.
Although the assassins did not kill him, in the chaos of fighting against the assassins, the real assassin quietly injected the terrible toxin into his body. Under the effect of the toxin, the newborn baby fell into an almost eternal sleep.
For this result, the Silver Emperor was naturally furious and ordered a thorough investigation.
But there were too many people who wanted to kill his child. Except for his family, the remaining six of the seven silver families would not allow the current Silver Emperor to pass the position to his children. Even with the support of the Kingdom of Inter, they would never agree.
Moreover, in addition to these six silver families, there were also many people in the family of the Silver Emperor who disagreed.
If according to the inheritance law of the Silver Throne, everyone in the seven silver families could sit in this position. If he wanted to inherit and monopolize, wouldn’t that be destroying everyone’s rice bowl?
He had said that he would not have any children with the Queen of Inte, but suddenly he had a child. He wanted to make it a fait accompli. He really took everyone for fools.
Even if he reached a compromise with the Kingdom of Inte and had the support of the Kingdom of Inte, they would not compromise on this issue.
Even if the peace treaty between the Silver Empire and the Kingdom of Inte was destroyed, the worst that could happen was another Rose War. Anyway, there was no way to have hereditary succession.
Moreover, apart from the seven major silver families, most of the various princes of the Silver Empire were not very supportive of this offspring with silver and English blood.
In addition, the nobles, army, Pantheon and civilians of the Silver Empire were also very dissatisfied with the fact that the future emperor had English blood.
The Rose War lasted for 25 years, and countless nobles, soldiers and civilians died at the hands of the Kingdom of English. How could they accept a guy with English blood to become their emperor?
Moreover, the Pantheon was also very dissatisfied. Although the Kingdom of English was once part of the Silver Empire, after it broke away, their mainstream beliefs also changed and evolved into a heretical belief that only worshipped three gods.
Even if the Silver Emperor guaranteed that his offspring would be of the Pantheon's faith, the majority of people in the Pantheon were still dissatisfied.
At the beginning, the Pantheon pinched its nose and agreed to the Silver Emperor's marriage to the heretic Princess of English. The Silver Emperor also promised them that he would not give birth to an offspring, but this promise was still broken.
The current Silver Emperor's bad behavior has completely consumed his credit. No matter how much he promises now, most people will only look at him with suspicion.
Therefore, when the entire Silver Empire wants the newborn to die, the Silver Emperor's rage is basically useless.
How can he find out anything if he investigates himself?
Under the interference of various forces, almost no one will really investigate the assassination.
Even if the Silver Emperor sends his confidant, it will be the same. As long as he dares to send it out, it's okay if he knows how to do it. If he really dares to investigate, his confidant will quickly die in the stinking ditch, and even the confidant's family will be completely killed.
Even if the Silver Emperor guarantees his confidant and guarantees to protect his family, it will be useless. At most, the killing will be delayed for a few days, and he will still die.
Even as a threat, the Silver Emperor watched the person he promised to protect die tragically in front of him, and the people around him were indifferent and watched it all coldly.
After even losing their own people, the Silver Emperor's trusted forces also quickly collapsed, leaving only some loyal subordinates.
Compared with the relatively restrained court conspiracy of the Silver Empire, the Kingdom of Inter was not so gentle.
Except for some unlucky people, the Silver Empire basically did not have many deaths, but the Kingdom of Inter launched a rebellion that was destined to be extremely bloody.
The lords of various places in the Kingdom of Inter were full of complaints about the Rose War. They did not support the Kingdom of Inter to declare war on the Silver Empire, but after the Kingdom of Inter made up its mind, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they fulfilled their feudal obligations and went to war with the army.
In the twenty-five years of war, the sacrifices made by the lords of various places were not small. They contributed manpower and money, and I don't know how much war tax they paid, and how many nobles died in the war.
The once prosperous wine trade was completely destroyed in the war. The lords of various places were seriously injured one by one, and the losses were countless. It can be said that the Rose War was almost fought for twenty-five years by the lords of various places selling blood to help.
As a result, after fighting for so long, the peace treaty between the Kingdom of Inte and the Silver Empire was an empty victory.
It was just an empty victory, and the Kingdom of Inte used the empty treasury as an excuse to not give them any due rewards, and even did not give them any honorary rewards.
That's fine, at least it's peace, isn't it? After all, they were not exterminated, and the territory is still there. At most, they can stay in the territory and farm for more than ten years, and they can finally catch their breath.
As a result, King Inte continued to collect taxes from them on the grounds of rebuilding the kingdom.
Well, they also admitted that the damage caused by the war was indeed serious, and the reconstruction of the kingdom was indeed their obligation. They gritted their teeth and paid the tax.
What was the result? In the past few years, the reconstruction of the kingdom has been slow, but the taxes collected have been getting higher and higher.
Therefore, after the news of the birth of the Silver Emperor and the Inte Emperor's daughter reached their ears, these lords completely collapsed.
Damn, I said don't fight, but you insisted, and when the fight started, we sold blood to support you. But halfway through the fight, they suddenly made peace. Not only did they not get any reward, but they also continued to collect taxes.
If the taxes were really used for reconstruction, we would have tolerated it, but you used them to feed your own offspring, right?
What, your family is human, but ours is not? In order to pay taxes, we don't have many resources to cultivate our own newborns.
This practice of constantly exploiting lords from all over the country just to allow their family members to ascend the throne of the Silver Empire completely broke the defense of the lords of the Kingdom of Inter.
They are the lords of the Kingdom of Inter, but don't forget that this country is not the royal family. They also have a share. The royal family is just the largest shareholder.
Therefore, when King Inter spoke in support of the Silver Emperor and fantasized that his family would hold the throne of the Silver Empire and the throne of the Kingdom of Inter at the same time, the lords of all parts of the Kingdom of Inter had already contacted each other and decided to rise up to resist the tyranny.
Therefore, when the Silver Emperor was furious about the assassination, King Inte had no time to speak out in support, because the ultimatums from the lords of the Kingdom of Inte had already been delivered to him.
Compromise or go to war.
Modify the vassal contract and give up the unscrupulous exploitation of the lords, or see who has the better military force.
Should the Kingdom of Inte suppress them and replace them with a new group of lords, or should they overthrow his tyranny and replace him with a new king.
King Inte would never compromise.
Or rather, he had been waiting for this opportunity. The Rose War had almost bled all the lords dry, but he had retained some of his strength in the war.
Now, it was time to clear out these lords and bring the entire Kingdom of Inte under his wise rule.
