Gods: The Swarm

Almost all the people who are eligible to be invited to attend this gathering are the direct descendants of various families.

Many of the guys present have more or less the same mentality as Colin.

Nowadays, many nobles' control areas are in a mess because of these insects and beasts.

The development of the situation is no longer a simple resource problem.

The fall of the control area in the "cradle" not only concerns the face and reputation of the Longwa nobles, but also affects the right to speak of these heirs in the family.

After Colin finished describing the situation of his family's control area, someone immediately echoed him.

"My family is in a similar situation, and we have been harassed recently."

"Fortunately, the strength of the support sent by the family is not bad, so the overall loss is still within the tolerance range."

As soon as the person who agreed finished speaking, another Longwa noble said disdainfully:

"You underestimated the enemy, so you capsized in the ditch!"

"In my personal opinion, those weird insects and beasts are not that difficult to deal with."

"On the contrary, the several invasions in our family-controlled area were easily resolved, and we are still chasing them. In the process, a large number of insect beasts were annihilated. "

"The insect beast groups I encountered were not very good in number and strength."

"Not only were they scattered, but even different groups had a subtle sense of restraint. It was not difficult to defeat them."

"That's because the insect beast groups you encountered were too weak. When you encounter a strong group... "

"Hehe, I think you are just making excuses for your failure."

In the quarrel of different opinions, the topic shifted unconsciously.

Although Perrin was expressionless, he felt secretly happy when he saw that the nobles of Longwa were not getting along with each other.

Perrin, who was born in the side branch of the royal family, knew very well that the current royal family actually had very limited control over the nobles of Longwa.

If the various noble groups in Longwa cooperated closely, that would be the real trouble.

"Okay!"

Raising his hand gently, he interrupted this meaningless quarrel, and signaled everyone to be quiet, Perrin continued:

"Although the princes are conquering outside the territory, they have also been paying attention to domestic affairs."

"After learning that many noble-controlled areas in the 'Cradle' have been occupied by lowly humans, they are all deeply dissatisfied."

"So I specially ordered me to gather you and convey the will of the royal family!"

Looking around at everyone with cold eyes, Perrin saw that everyone sat up slightly and posed, and then continued:

"You are all the backbone of Longwa, in order to maintain the face of the empire."

"Next, you need to deal with the problem of the 'Cradle' within one real time."

"If you can't do it, the royal family will personally clean up the mess."

"By then, all the areas recaptured by the royal family will be returned to the royal family!"

As soon as Perrin said this, the faces of the nobles present all changed.

In the quiet box, everyone turned their heads and cast their eyes on Perosa and Nalain.

Nalain, who still maintained the etiquette of the nobility, did not speak, but curled his lips and sneered, with a face full of teasing.

Perosa, on the other hand, had put away the smile on his face and tapped the table with his fingers.

"Will you return the recaptured area to the royal family?"

"Is this not a formal order from the emperor? I wonder which prince is joking?"

"You also said that, like in the early days of the 'cradle', it depends on strength, whoever occupies it will be the owner?"

As soon as the voice fell, the whole box fell into a strange silence.

Everyone cast an inexplicable look at Perrin.

Although the Longwa Empire nominally has the highest imperial power, it is deeply rooted in the aristocratic system.

It is true that the royal family is very strong, but in essence, it is just the strongest family of true gods in the empire.

Once many noble groups join forces, they are enough to overturn the rule of imperial power.

In the earliest days, the 'cradle' resource well was just the back garden of the royal family's direct lineage.

But as time passed, with the tacit cooperation of many nobles, it changed from the private property of the royal family's direct lineage to the 'cradle' of the new generation of the entire Longwa Empire.

For this reason, it also led to a period of unrest in the entire Longwa Empire.

The noble group, which was at a disadvantage at the time, even instigated the members of the royal family's collateral lineage to sign a series of 'peace' treaties with human forces.

When the noble group won, the direct lineage of the first generation of the royal family was extinct, the Longwa Empire returned to peace, and the new generation of imperial emperors supported by the noble group ascended the throne.

The new imperial emperor discovered that Longwa at this time was no longer able to deal with the humans who took the opportunity to rise.

The Cradle can be said to be a place of shame for the royal family.

This is also the fundamental reason why there are few royal gods in the Cradle, and royal demigods are almost extinct.

Perosa's words seem to be talking about the rules of the Cradle, but secretly implying that the Cradle is the cause of the extinction of a generation of royal lineage.

Not only is it heartbreaking, but it also does not give Perrin and the prince who instructed this matter any face.

"You............."

Perrin seemed to be stabbed in the throat by Perrosa's words, and his face turned blue.

However, when he saw Perrosa's fierce eyes without dodging, he did not immediately attack.

And he forced himself to suppress his anger and turned his eyes to Nalain, who was watching the show on the side.

Trying to get support from this guy who has always been at odds with Perrosa.

But what he was greeted with was Nalain's teasing look as if he was looking at a clown.

"Ahem............"

Perin knew that he could no longer follow the other party and continue to delve into this topic.

After coughing twice to ease the dull atmosphere, he immediately brought the topic back on track.

"One tenth of every profit of the 'Cradle' will be paid as imperial tax."

"Nowadays, the output of the mass nobles has declined, which is also a loss to the empire. Solving the 'Cradle' problem is our focus."

While speaking, he distributed detailed information to everyone present.

"This is the research data on various insects and beasts that I have sorted out, including their body functions and fighting methods."

"These insects and beasts look like a unified group."

"But from the current behavior patterns, they actually have countless branches."

"It seems that they are independent tribal groups, and the relationship between them is not friendly."

"Different tribes are not under the same jurisdiction, and they are barely united, and the coordination is extremely inefficient."

Speaking of this, Perrin also displayed several images on the projection screen in the box.

"There is data showing that when two tribes meet, they generally do not interfere. Their occasional cooperation or hostility can also support this inference from the side."

"We only need to gather an absolute superior force to defeat these bugs one by one with minimal losses and completely clear out the 'cradle'."

Perosa and Nalain saw that Perrin finally put away his tentative thoughts and were unwilling to argue with him on sensitive issues related to the royal family.

The two of them almost simultaneously restored their polite smiles between nobles.

Cleansing these annoying bugs was also something they were happy to see.
