Lux's Farewell

539 [0533] Split
For the aristocrats of the offshoot of the crown guard family in Mithril City, great sorrow and great joy came too soon.

From the anxiety of soldiers approaching the city, to the rest of their lives after a big victory; from the complacency of planning to annex land and stores, to the anger of someone disrupting the situation; from the gnashing of teeth when the traitor was discovered, to the surprise of Laxanna, the aunt, after she made another move indefinite……

During the period after the victory in the Battle of Mithral City, their hearts were subjected to extremely severe tests one after another.

From their point of view, Laxana's follow-up presiding over the overall situation is very likely to have reached some agreement with the five traitors-after all, these five families seemed to have acquired Laxana's for real money. merger share.

Uh, wait, these five families are lending grain to civilians, and at the same time acquiring Laksanna's share of the merger. Do they have so many supplies?

Thinking of this, many people couldn't help but start to mutter in their hearts. Could it be that the guide behind all this is that aunt?

If it was her, she would indeed have the ability to connect the five families and the Second Legion together, but the question is, what is her purpose in doing so?

In Fossbarrow, where the birds don’t shit, food is imported every year. Everyone knows that now selling the share of mergers and then bringing the obtained food and materials back to develop the territory is a normal method. You can see clear income.

Is she a great philanthropist who lends food to the civilians in Mitril City at this time?

After thinking about it, judging from the current situation, the biggest possibility is that these five companies promised Laksana greater benefits (such as more food supplies after autumn), and after some operations, they made themselves become The conscientious aristocrats among the civilians of Mithril City took advantage of this time of reshuffle to try to seize as much market share as possible under the new order.

And that aunt Laxanna pushed the boat along the way and caused some troubles for the side nobles in Mihrer City, which were almost monolithic. After this incident, it will no longer be possible for Miril City to fake natural disasters and reduce taxes as before. up.

Considering that the Second Legion also gained a wave of prestige in this matter, perhaps in the subsequent construction of the northern fortress, these companies also reached some tacit agreement with the Second Legion, by smashing everyone's food Pot, expand your network of relationships.

For nobles, prestige and contacts are not inferior to the precious wealth of land. Although these five families are isolated from the noble network of Mithril City, they have drawn closer to the military, and Laxana's Fosby Laura got close—this was the only possible reason others could think of for such an operation.

Therefore, in the eyes of other aristocrats of the crown guard family, the image of these five young birds who are ambitious and want to take advantage of the chaos has been completely settled since then-these five families are definitely after experiencing Mithril City. After the defense war, it was determined that the northern border would be turbulent, and wanted to plan ahead, abandon short-term interests and the harmonious relationship within Mithral City, and strive to make a fortune in terms of military exploits or trade.

No one thought that the cause of all this was really Lux's unwillingness to sit back and watch the large-scale land annexation of Mithral City.

In the main city area of ​​Mihril City, the frequency of side branch noble banquets is decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After this incident, although the aristocrats of the side branch cannot be said to be a shadow of a snake, at least in a short period of time, most people need to think carefully about their situation and their own choices next.

The nobles are a conservative and stubborn group, but no matter how conservative and stubborn the group is, after experiencing such great sorrow and joy, I am afraid that they need to think carefully about what to do next.

........................

It wasn't just the crown guards of Mithril City who were split internally.

At the end of the Mithril Battle, Lux directly blew a wave of jitters, and after all the grass and trees came out, the originally extremely powerful Winter's Claw tribe, after suffering such a heavy blow, is now on the verge of splitting.

As a typical Freljord tribe, the Winter's Claw fits the description of "their prosperity is also very fast, and their death is also short".

After Sejuani defeated her mother in a duel and became the Warmother of Winter's Claw, she expelled the Frostguard priests in the tribe, vigorously accepted all capable and powerful fighters, and actively plundered , Expansion of its own sphere of influence, which directly led to the full rise of Winter's Claw, and in just a few years it became a huge force in the middle of the Freljord, centered on the Sanjigra Plain.

During this process, Sejuani fully demonstrated the ability of a "Freljord traditional war mother". With her strength and charm, she attracted a large number of ice travelers, and with continuous plundering and victories, she will Among them, those who endured the death and elimination gradually became diehards.

In this way, Sejuani even launched a long-distance raid that seemed incredible from the perspective of the Freljord last winter, and fought with Avarosa, who was guarding the city. When they returned to the army at [-]-[-], they also plundered the frozen plains.

There is no doubt that from the perspective of the Freljord, Sejuani can be called a generation of heroes, and Winter's Claw is a blood descendant of Serilda, one of the three sisters. It is not impossible to dominate the Freljord.

However, once a tribe has no internal accumulation and relies on continuous victories to unite, once it encounters a failure, the problem of its lack of foundation will be exposed instantly.

We rely on Winter's Claw because Winter's Claw is strong enough, and if you lose, it means that you are not strong enough-in this case, why should we attach to you?
Therefore, when Winter's Claw smashed its halberd under Mihril City and the news that the life and death of the war mother Sejuani was unknown followed the rout of the army and returned to the Sanjigra Plain. , collapsed almost instantly.

Since Sejuani took away a large number of elites, none of these elites fled back to the Freljord. Many tribes that were suppressed by the Winter's Claw in the past found the opportunity to counterattack, even in the severe winter , but also give Winter's Claw a good look!
In this case, without the same leadership and no cohesion, Winter's Claw seems to have suddenly changed from a giant Leviathan whale to a Leviathan whale fall, from a strong man who oppresses all beings to countless little ones. tribal nourishment.

When Sejuani, who lost her sworn father Udyr, her mount Steel Mane, and half of her body, returned to the Freljord with difficulty on a simple crutch made of two branches, facing a mess The scene, she almost lost all hope.

Foreign enemies and internal strife, in this winter, Winter's Claw has exhausted its last trace of vitality. When Sejuani managed to find a battle flag and set it up on the Sanjigra Plain, only a group of hungry ice giants appeared magic.

Sejuani, who lost half of her body and lost the North Wind Flail, had almost no power to resist when facing these ice trolls looking for food.

Leaning on crutches, Sejuani fled all the way, and when she was searching for a crevasse in the glacier that could bring her the last bit of decency, she heard a wild voice.

"Surrender to storm and thunder!"
