Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Chapter 525: Matchmaking from Lingxi

"Damn it, you're bullying an honest person, right?"

Players are not the kind of people who are willing to suffer losses, especially when they are clearly doing good things.

Moreover, the Northeastern noble group seems to be standing up for its younger brothers in the West with the consciousness of a big brother, but in fact they want to take advantage of the situation to attack someone, needless to say.

The reputation of the Pioneers in Huiguang took a sharp turn for the worse. Although it still could not shake their base in the south and even in Gyeonggi Province, all the support they had worked so hard to win in the northeast region was lost.

There is no way. When people live in this world, the most important thing is to understand the human relationships. Not every noble has the courage to say "I am a barbarian" like Eleanor.

Moreover, compared with their aristocratic colleagues who have been intermarried for generations and know each other well, the pioneers who have just arrived and are always noisy are indeed "too untrustworthy".

But if the accusations of the Western nobles handed a knife to the Northeastern nobles, then the oppression of the Northeastern nobles also gave the pioneers a reason, right?
"Damn it, you're bullying an honest person, right?"

Players are not the kind of people who are willing to suffer losses, especially when they are clearly doing good things.

Now that the fists are pointed at them, the major guilds and even the governments of various countries can no longer sit idly by and must immediately use all means at their disposal to take action.

Moreover, with a powerful enemy at hand, no matter how many glowing insects there are, not every noble is busy fighting among themselves.

Even though Duke Xiguang, who is guarding the front line, is very busy, Duke Arclight and King Sun are still watching them in the capital.

Seeing that the pioneers were full of resentment and Lord Xi was having a hard time holding on, Anton VI slapped his thigh and simply wrote a "Letter of Initiative" signed by all the nobles in the royal capital.

What else can I propose? Of course, I want all the knowledgeable people and passionate young people in Huiguang to unite and share your worries.

"Fuck."

When Xia Guang and Li Guang saw this thing, their eyes widened and they looked at each other in bewilderment as if to say, "Your Majesty is also colluding with the thieves?"

But as the actual leaders of the Northeastern noble group, how could they allow the pioneers to obtain the king's blessing so easily and swallow up the Western Territory so easily?
They immediately dug up a case from the kingdom's history, which was as thick as a door panel, and used the "right to warn the world" that their family had obtained since the establishment of the country to jointly write a letter to accuse the king of having made a mistake in his orders at no cost.

"Your Majesty, Queen Bella once said in her ancestral teachings that only the nobles of the kingdom can wield swords and fight in our Glorious Land. Those who are not are traitors. You see..."

It is no longer possible to determine why Anton's ancestor gave such an order, but what is certain is that the situation would definitely be different from today.

So, logically speaking, the Sun King could use this reason to directly refute their ill intentions.

However, Huiguang is implementing customary law. There are cases and cases. If there are no cases, this case is the case. Therefore, the ancestral law is really difficult to change.

In this way, if pioneers want to fight in the Glorious Land, in addition to the king's approval, they must also have the endorsement of the nobles, otherwise it would be rebellion!

what?
Do you want to know why they didn't bring up this ancestral precept during the Battle of Luoshen Mountain?
Isn't this nonsense? At that time, the fire could really burn them. This... Is this not double standard? Double standard is guaranteed!
So the players were all ready to go to the Western Border to crack down on the bandits, but when they heard the news, they were immediately shocked.

"Is this horse or a human?"

But there is no way, rules are rules. I can only quickly find the nobles I know to go through the free hiring procedures and go to the battlefield as their mercenary.

But unfortunately, the two dukes had already guessed their response before they took action. How could they let them bypass the sanctions so easily?
No matter how many benefits were promised, the anti-pioneer forces in Gyeonggi and the south, which had been dormant, suddenly rose up at the critical moment, and a large number of nobles turned against them on the spot.

Although they were still afraid of death and did not dare to confiscate the pioneers' property openly, they still dared to stab them in the back and disgust them.

At least when it comes to hiring, they are determined to go against the players.

"What kind of hiring? What the hell, there is no such thing!"

"Okay, let's play like this, eh? Just wait for me!"

Fortunately, the players maintained restraint at the critical moment and did not fall for the provocation quietly set by the two dukes. They did not use violence to solve the problem, making the already passive situation even more complicated.

Although the two dukes were extremely powerful, this glory was by no means theirs alone. At the critical moment, the Money Bag Faction and the Sword and Shield Faction burst out with strong subjective initiative and called on a large number of nobles to actively hire pioneers.

The players' long-term efforts finally paid off. A group of southern nobles, led by Duke Jueqiao, clearly realized the shamelessness of the northeastern nobles. They did not accept the promises made by them, but chose to support their pioneer allies.

As for Eleanor…

"Haha, everyone has talked so much. I just fainted from exhaustion from signing the contract and just woke up."

Faced with this situation, Xia Guang and Li Guang originally wanted to continue making trouble, such as demanding to limit the number of mercenaries under each noble.

But there is no game in this world where only one side can play all the cards, so before they took action, Xiguang and Duke Huguang also jointly wrote a letter.

What they wanted to express was very simple, just one word: "Pioneer, Haoren!"

The Sun King had obviously discussed the script with them long ago and immediately wrote a letter of praise.

High praise - When the country is in trouble, the pioneers actually gathered to respond at the first time and share your worries. I am very pleased!

After expressing in detail the core idea of ​​"there are no traitors, only loyal ministers", he also promised that when the pioneers returned triumphantly, he would personally enfeoff a group of new nobles.

Xia Guang and Li Guang had no choice but to call back the messenger they had sent out in shame, admitting their defeat in front of the king.

Things have come to this point, the dust has settled, and the quarrel between the two sides seems to have come to an end.

But the impact of this incident goes far beyond this. After all, is there any better reason to unite in this world than to fight a foreign war and defend against enemies?

Now that everyone has stopped pretending, the drums are all exposed, and a brand new line has emerged.

The original Money Bag Faction and Sword and Shield Faction united together, together with some southern nobles headed by the Duke of Jueqiao, to form a unified interest group, referred to as the "Royal Capital".

The two Dukes Xia Guang and Li Guang, who had made their debut at the previous dinner party and had followers all over the world, officially became the leaders of the "opposition" interest groups.

From then on, the power division among the upper echelons of the Glorious entered a new era.

Of course, this is a nice way of saying it. In a bad way of saying it, the former is a "firm royalist", and what is the latter... I don't think I need to say more.

Moreover, the masters' battle in the air is over, but the real fight has just begun.

Although it was certainly not as exaggerated as the last battle at Luoshen Mountain, the players who were holding their breath still gathered tens of thousands of troops and rushed to the battlefield in the western border, ready to support the Glow Army while clearing out the bandits.

"Ah this."

Moreover, when there were more than ten thousand people, the land and the sky were connected. Facing the pioneers who rushed into the western border from all directions, the local nobles were simply scared silly.

But they came with the king's order, so they dared not say anything. They could only close the door tightly and did not dare to let any pioneers in. The bandits who had just gained a slight advantage and had not even touched the champagne bottle were in a miserable situation. They were chased by the players and had no way to escape.

"They are all crazy, they are all crazy!"

"Boss, please think of a solution quickly. I really can't run anymore!"

"I... have a solution? I have no solution! Do you think I'm the King of Ideas in the West? Just wait for death and we'll do it!"

Faced with the players' full-scale liquidation, they had no chance to resist and were all executed on the spot, without leaving even a trace of them.

With the help of this group of truly fearless warriors, Lord Xi finally had enough energy to gather his troops and launch a counterattack.

The momentum brought by thousands of armored cavalrymen leading a counterattack out of the city under the leadership of a level 70 expert was so terrifying that even the experienced Deep Forest Border Army felt a little frightened for a moment.

Although Lord Xi still failed to break through the Deep Forest Border Army's formation in the end and suffered considerable losses himself, this might be the first time that the Glowing People swung their swords at the Deep Forest People since Marquis Changge committed suicide in the Sun Palace.

No matter how high the cost is, it is enough to boost people's hearts!

And everyone knows who they are and who their stakeholders are.

But at least in name, these Deep Forest Frontier Troops were just "bandits on the Deep Forest border who did not obey the king's orders", so the Deep Forest people could not send drastic reinforcements to them.

Moreover, gambling requires capital, but Shenlin people want to do a business with no costs. If they invest a large sum of money, they will lose it!

In short, after half a month of fighting, this "Summer Plunder" that no one had expected ended.

Although the price was a lose-lose situation, the attempt to steal a chicken in the deep forest ended up with a loss of rice. Not only did they lose the bandit group that they had used quite easily, but the border troops also suffered some losses, and the income was greatly reduced. They were completely out of pocket and lost money!

Several villages and towns in Huiguang were plundered and massacred, and the regular army also suffered heavy losses. The current specific figures are difficult to estimate, not to mention the subsequent pensions and reconstruction work, which is also a loss of money!

But in the past, the people from Deep Forest made huge profits, while the people from Glorious Light lost huge losses. Now, both sides are losing money, so there is no need to say who is the winner!

So the Sun King was naturally very pleased. He hosted a banquet for a large number of nobles and pioneer representatives in the Sun Castle and began to praise the pioneers in front of everyone.

Moreover, didn’t the opposition say before that the pioneers were outsiders, not of our race, and their hearts must be different, so must we all exclude them?

Haha, it won’t be spicy from now on!

Because after the banquet, he asked Duke Arclight to read out his own awards, conferring one earl, three viscounts, eight barons, and countless other honorary titles such as knights.

Although most of the fiefs were located in the southern part of the kingdom, it was considered as giving the land to the other party, and the land area was very small and barren.

But the king's order is the king's order, and the pioneers held their heads high and naturally integrated into the glorious circle of power, never to be separated again.

And good things come in pairs. When the players were celebrating their victory and joking that "Glow" would be the largest country on Earth in the future because everyone was considered a Glow person, a huge trade fleet cut through the waves and braved the summer hurricane to the White Eagle Port, which had been basically completed.

"My dear friends in the tower, your loyal Lingxi friend James is here to see you!"

They were naturally the Lingxi people who came to Manyuan by accident last time.

After purchasing various local specialties from the players, they immediately returned to Lingxi to sell them.

The natural result was that scarcity made things valuable, and the prices of these novel gadgets from the wild kept rising, allowing each of them to make a fortune.

Especially the firearms. These extremely sophisticated mechanical creations even amazed the dwarf master craftsmen employed by the king, and instigated the king to buy them all at a huge price.

Golden King: "What the hell do you want me to take out... Shit!"

This was more than just a sky-high price deal. The Golden King summoned all the senior executives of the fleet, including Professor James, to the palace.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"

The Golden King did not say anything. Instead, he took out a black card blessed by the Goddess of Wealth, which functioned like a bank card, and threw it over.

Then.

If the king invested, the duke would invest.

The Duke invested, and the Crown Prince invested.

If the Crown Prince invested, everyone would invest.

With this huge fortune, the fleet commander was so excited that he almost flew, and immediately began to organize a new voyage.

Merchant ship?

Buy, buy the big one, otherwise you won’t have enough gold coins to fit it!

Frigate?
Rent, rent a place with a lot of cannons, otherwise you won’t be able to protect the gold coins!

Guard?

Hire, hire someone with great strength, otherwise you won’t be able to pull all the gold coins!
Money is a great motivator, and no words can compare to the dazzling gold, so he quickly organized a trade fleet of unprecedented scale.

Just three months after leaving Manyuan, he returned to this land that seemed to flow with milk and honey with even larger trade orders.

But since many nobles including the Golden King are involved in this voyage, it cannot be as simple as it seems.

In fact, while this caravan was still being organized, another team of faster boats had already set out from the royal capital and quickly headed for the Garko grassland north of the deep forest.

However, within seven days, Beimos Khan Shilidege received a secret letter from the Golden King at the same time as he received the supplies he ordered.

[Friend, I still remember my original promise. I think I have found a potential ally for you, but the situation is still unclear. Please wait patiently for my good news.]

After learning about the many changes that had taken place within Glorious within the past month, especially the conflict between the Pioneers and the Deep Foresters in the Western Territory, which had created a pretty deep grudge between them.

When the trade fleet had already set off, the second secret letter from the Golden King also reached Shilideg's hands.

[Friend, remember the potential allies I told you about before? I think they can be]
