You and me under the world tree

Of course, more importantly, they can be a batch of sophisticated weapons and equipment.

These things are either hidden in every corner of the town, or even buried deep underground in the plain.

These things are basically the capital used to make a comeback.

As a king, Jibishi grew up from a time when the kingdom was in danger, and a man like this must have considered the so-called difficult times.

For example, being beaten into the palace, or even having to leave the royal city.

Under such circumstances, those so-called hidden treasures became the capital for a comeback.

Anyway, according to the rumors, it is said that the royal family of Burgundy did make a little of this thing.

However, with the passing of the last king, Gunter, this thing has become a permanently sealed secret.

No matter how glorious the royal family of Burgundy had been, there was nothing left under the fire.

Then the sage led his army back from Burgundy

Although the Raven Legion and the Fog Demon Legion suffered losses, the joy of victory in the war has always been overflowing, and the families of the dead have also received enough compensation.

Still, some surface work is always to be done.

For example, engraving the name on the stone tablet of the king's tomb, or burying the corpses of the war dead in the tomb.

It is worth mentioning that because of the extremely sophisticated armor, the [-] carefully selected Skyfury Guards who went out with the army also made a terrible reputation in this era.

The three hundred Skywrath warriors were naturally wounded, but there were no dead. The legacy from Gurnita Hyde proved the forging skills of the dwarves with a battle.

And all of a sudden, the Skywrath Guards became the most desirable legion in the entire Netherlands.

However, these things have little to do with Hodder. He is only responsible for fighting and returning to China to accept the next task scheduled: stationed in Burgundy.

This is a planned plan from the beginning.

In fact, if it was just to save trouble, Hodder could even ignore these messy things and simply stay in Burgundy and wait for Siegfried to send the mission directly.

But in the end, just to be on the safe side, he decided to take a trip.

Moreover, as a sage, he personally made a trip to help Hagen relieve the pressure of public opinion to some extent.

The complete annihilation of the Burgundian royal family and the pressure of public opinion created by this kind of thing are still very high, and there are still people who are unwilling to give up accusing the palace minister Hagen of bad intentions and borrowing the power of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to protect themselves. Clear the way.

It is inevitable that such words will appear, because for now, Hagen is the biggest beneficiary, not one of them.

When the main line of the royal family is wiped out, as an illegitimate child, he has the right to be the first in line of succession.

If he wanted to, he could use the power of the Netherlands to help him ascend the throne, and he could even engage in a wave of power and usurpation when Siegfried was weak.

God knows what kind of monster Hagen's name has turned into when the sage went out to fight and was completely away from the king's city.

But eventually, the rumors died down.

Because an official announcement came from the palace: As the heir in line of the only remaining Burgundian kingdom in name, Hagen chose to hand over the long-inherited Burgundian crown and dedicate the throne to the people he is loyal to. the king of

That is to say, now Siegfried has become the king of Burgundy through this kind of "abdication", and he has two titles of kings on his head.

Originally, this kind of thing would make Siegfried bear unnecessary stigma.

In the eyes of the people of Midgard, expanding the territory is definitely a good thing, which can reflect personal bravery and political wisdom.

However, this kind of thing is bound to attract criticism. After all, which kingdom has no background?

It is not that simple to change the face. Legney of the Hengding family spent a lot of time to eliminate the influence of the Volsunger family, but in the end it was not cleared.

But this kind of thing is nothing now.

After all, Hagen's previous attitude as a powerful minister in charge of the kingdom's political power proved that Siegfried, as the king, was still recuperating at that time and did not participate in government affairs at all. This can be said to be Hagen's own actions.

In addition, the cause of this war originally originated from the poisoning and assassination of the royal family, and the person who launched the attack without authorization was the impatient King of Burgundy himself.

So this negative effect has gradually subsided.

But that doesn't mean the matter will end there.

In fact, this matter has only just begun.

Because it didn't take long for Hagen, who already had his own fiefdom, to be appointed as the lord of Burgundy, temporarily governing everything in the territory.

To put it simply, Hagen is still loyal to Siegfried, but the land where he grew up belongs to him.

Moreover, because of his status, although he, the 'Lord of Burgundy', seemed to be airborne, his status was higher than that of other so-called lords.

This almost airborne position suddenly set off a huge wave in the rich and powerful circles of Burgundy.

Anyone who is a little sensitive can perceive that for that land, the so-called war is just a starting point.

The real bloody place is still behind...

"This is simply deceiving!"

Those lords who had heard the news and surrendered directly overturned the table after receiving the letter from Hagen.

And through the dim light, the contents of the letter were also revealed.

A large part of the above is full of nonsense. For these powerful lords, the most important thing is the last sentence: Please hand over the military power and political power.

To put it bluntly, as lords, they can still enjoy this hereditary status, but they only enjoy the taxes in the territory, and everything else must be handed over to Hagen, the 'big lord'.

Will anyone approve of this?

of course not……

Therefore, a civil strife and storm have also begun to brew.

…………

…………

good afternoon!

How should I put it, I really hope that everyone can understand this wave of operations [scratching head]

If you covet the title, your favorability will be reduced by 20 (no).

To put it bluntly, Siegfried was only in charge of fighting. He named Hagen the great lord. In name, because the distance was a bit far and his hands were a little out of reach, he temporarily sealed the territory to Hagen like a lord.

And what happened next has nothing to do with Siegfried, Hagen works in name, and the sage works behind his back.

That's why, early in the volume, Hodder asks Hagen if he can take it _(:з」∠)_

Siegfried's reputation must be flawless, so the dirty work has to be done by someone else.

NEXT: Advent

The atrium world is surging, and war is the eternal theme in this land.

Because no matter what kind of contradictions and conflicts there are, once they rise to a confrontation between forces, they can easily turn into wars.

The gods need war because it allows them to collect the souls of many brave warriors.

And today's Netherlands also needs war, because both the sage Hodder and Siegfried need this so-called 'last resort' to find something to do for their kingdom.

They need excuses to change perceptions in the eyes of the public.

Zigmund's Treasure and the Dwarf Legacy of Gurnita Heide...

Once, because of the existence of these nominal treasures, Siegfried relied on various obviously loss-making trade strategies to forcibly drag down the Hengding family, forcing Legney to forcefully launch a war and made himself the name of a flawless hero.

And because of the existence of these nominal treasures, the Kingdom of the Netherlands does not need to worry about the treasury at all.

Although at the beginning, the deficit on the books was horrifying, but as long as this treasure is there, there will be a lot of adjustments that should be made.

From the fort to the defensive measures of the town and the village itself, everything should be there, and even in the end, roads and pass renovations began.

These nominal treasures did give Hod and Siegfried a lot of help at the beginning, because they didn't have to think about people's livelihood like other newly established kingdoms.

Coupled with various preferential trades with other kingdoms, they have no shortage of ore or food after purchasing a large amount of reserves.

And all that's left is to send money to the people below.

As far as the current situation is concerned, this so-called political strategy will definitely have side effects that cannot be ignored in the future.

But its most basic purpose has been achieved, because the entire kingdom has been operating according to the original plan.

It only takes a few more years to raise the tax rate to its original level as originally planned, and then the operation of the kingdom can return to normal levels.

Combined with all kinds of land rents copied in advance, in fact, even if it does not rely on treasures, the income of the kingdom's treasury is positive.

In this case, there has been a near-saturation trend in the entire Netherlands.

Although no one knows how much money is left in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, in the eyes of most people, the Kingdom of the Netherlands is rich.

At first, this recognition gave the people confidence in Siegfried as king and in the nascent Kingdom of the Netherlands.

But for now, this treasure has become a kind of prestige encumbrance to the Netherlands.

Therefore, they need to find an opportunity to completely throw away and use this so-called treasure.

And the Kingdom of Burgundy is a good introduction...

Anyway, for now, the Kingdom of the Netherlands has absolutely no money to build a temple of Rausch.

After all, the Kingdom of Burgundy is in ruins right now (shock)!

But the entire Kingdom of Burgundy needed some 'little changes' before construction could actually begin.

However, these things have nothing to do with those who have left the game after all.

Location: Northern Seas

This is a forbidden area forever shrouded in the cloud of death and icy air.

And some time ago, this place used to be the stronghold of the North Wind Pirates.

Due to some historical reasons, those losers who were expelled from their own kingdom had to act here and seek the opportunity to return to their own kingdom and take back everything that belonged to them.

But that's all a thing of the past now.

After the North Wind Pirates left here, the navy of the Netherlands used it again.

Few people know that a considerable part of the so-called "treasure retrieval" fleet sent by Siegfried has come here.

The purpose of these fleets has never been to take treasures, but to transport supplies.

Wood, stone, food seeds...

These things were all transported to the northern sea area.

And at an incredible speed, a large-scale naval fortress was established here.

It has its own shipyard, guard tower, and even a planting base constructed based on magic.

Although the output is not much, with the support of the Kingdom of Iceland, it is not difficult to achieve self-sufficiency.

As for the flag above the fortress, there are two sides.

On one side is the wolf flag of the Netherlands, which symbolizes the Volsung family, while on the other side it depicts the pansy of the Kingdom of Iceland.

And the ownership of this fortress is self-evident-it is a fortress jointly stationed by two kingdoms, and the supreme commander here is Her Royal Highness Princess of the Kingdom of Iceland.

In fact, there was a drafted and signed military alliance agreement between Iceland and the Netherlands, but only the royal families of the two kingdoms knew about this agreement.

In this case, only Hilda is suitable to control this area, and no one else is safe.

But just today, three people who must be taken care of were sent here.

The relationship between them is brother and sister, but in order to deal with it safely, their past memories and faces have already been modified.

Even here, only Hilda knew their true identities.

"Ugh……"

Looking at the letter written by Siegfried himself, Hilda could not help but sigh deeply.

Immediately afterwards, she stuffed the letter into the stove and watched the letter gradually burn to ashes.

"Now, it's probably the only way to go."

On the other side, in the subterranean kingdom of the mountains in the distant Gnitalhead, the sage in armor lightly placed one stick figure after another in front of his friend.
