I am a god in another world
Chapter 686 Court Meeting
"No matter how great his achievements are outside, to us Cormier, he has not accomplished even an inch, so how can he be rewarded? If this sets a precedent, all capable people can come to us Cormier to ask for help. To get the reward, we don’t have a second piece of rock land.”
"The award of Baron of Yandi is based on the complete eradication and governance of Yandi, rather than the eradication and governance of Yandi after being made a baron. These are two completely different concepts. Please don't get confused, Lord Maxer. If we are like this If done, wouldn’t it dampen the enthusiasm of those who are working hard for this, such as the Red Crow Mercenary Group in Arabe City? They are very active in this matter. Not only do they take over most of the mercenary business on the Yandi front line, they also A large number of farmers have been hired from China to move eastward, and they have actively cultivated wasteland in the Hongquan area. We have already made initial achievements, and we cannot turn a blind eye to this."
"Those who can thoroughly control the rocky land will be awarded the title of baron of the rocky land. This was an old rule more than ten years ago. At that time, Tiffanydon had not yet become a part of our kingdom. Now that Tiffanyton echoes the Arabe City, as long as we add The number of purple dragon patrols sent can turn this place into a safe place. With a little encouragement, a large number of farmers will take the initiative to open up the land here. It is no longer reasonable to classify this place as a rocky area, even if it is necessary. To seal the rocky land, the rocky land area must also be re-planned. Tiffanyton and the surrounding Hongquan Reclamation Area should be separated into a separate area. The rocky land refers to the rocky land highland alone. "
"To change course rashly is extremely short-sighted and undesirable. If there were no Tifanton and Hongquan reclamation areas as bait, who would invest a lot of financial, material and energy in the rocky land? Even if the rocky land is cleared, there will be no stability. How can we ensure long-term peace and stability here if it were you? I would definitely not be that fool."
"If we are unwilling to make even a promise, how can others try their best to help us do things? They must also be worried that once they really do it, what will we do if we don't recognize it?"
The topic of the quarrel in the royal court meeting room can be said to be the same old tune. These princes and nobles hold their own opinions, and no one can convince others, because behind this involves intricate city, family and personal interests.
Let's not talk about other things for now, just talk about the Red Crow mercenary group that is quite active in clearing the Yandi. This is by no means a mercenary group promoting this matter by itself. There must be other nobles behind the scenes as the driving force.
This is evident from the fact that they can mobilize a large number of farmers from the Kingdom of Cormyr to reclaim wasteland. Without the cooperation of local noble lords, a mercenary group, even if it is strong, will not be an easy task, just like without the cooperation of Zalanda , the immigration that Gavin can activate is greatly reduced.
They have invested so much manpower and material resources in this matter, how could they give it up so easily?
Now in the royal court meeting hall, the opinions of the princes and nobles of Cormyr are mainly divided into three groups.
One faction is the one with the greatest interests, represented by Maxer. He believes that using the rock to tie the conqueror Gavin is a very cost-effective deal. Not only does it give hope to the Qingyan Land, but the Kingdom of Cormyr can also use this man. Expanding the influence of powerful people outwards is a good thing that can benefit the whole country with one stone, and this process only requires some families to abandon their selfishness.
There are very few supporters of this faction. If people had no selfish motives, the world would have been peaceful a long time ago. They have already reached a consensus, so why bother arguing here?
The second group is the Rockland map redistricting group. They believe that the previous division model of Rockland is outdated and must take the opportunity to make a new division. The focus is on Tiffanyton and the surrounding Red Spring Reclamation Area, which should be divided into a separate area. In this way It can not only ensure the vested interests of the kingdom, but also effectively restrain those who obtain the title of Yandi.
The proposer of this suggestion was Aracelin Qiuyi, who was the Lord of Tiffanyton and a typical person who gained immediate benefits. If Tiffanyton was tied to the Rockland and awarded to Gavin the Conqueror as a barony, she would Where to put this city leader who has just taken office less than three years ago?
She is the person who least wants the rocky land to be cleared. At least she doesn’t want the rocky land to be cleared by others. This task should be completed by her. Apart from Gavin and the Red Crow Mercenary Group, she is the third person who is most concerned about clearing up the rocky land. , but now she is powerless.
Although she was born into a noble family, her family had been in decline for many years. In the early years, she was even forced to join a mercenary group. Later, she entered the Purple Dragon Army and her situation improved. It was not until she was recommended as the Lord of Tifanton City that the family finally Follow her through the revival.
But Tifantun itself is not a peaceful land. As an outsider, her intrigues with the local forces there have taken up all of her energy in the past three years, not to mention cleaning up the rocky land, even in the relatively rich Red Spring Reclamation Area. There was not much energy to develop, so the Red Crow Mercenary Group backed by Abel City took the lead.
The third group opposed the re-division of the Yandi map, and also opposed the canonization of the Yandi to the conqueror Gavin. Instead, they still followed the original agreement. Whoever cleared the Yandi first would be the final recipient, regardless of origin.
The proposer of this suggestion was Ms. Milman. This person is the lord of Arabe City and the biggest promoter and financial backer behind the Red Crow Mercenary Group. The original contract between the royal family and the Red Crow Mercenary Group to clear the rock was Arabe. Cheng was behind it all.
When they launched the Red Crow Mercenary Group to clear out the rocky area, they did not have too much selfish motives, but considered the overall situation.
At that time, Tifton had not yet joined the Kingdom of Cormyr, and the city of Arabel was located at the frontier. Once the monsters of the rocky land emerged from the rocky land and broke through the border, they would be the first to bear the brunt.
However, as the investment continued to increase, Tifton surrendered, and the area between the two cities became fertile land, which brought huge benefits to the city of Arabel, so they could not sit idly by.
If the leader of the Red Crow Mercenary Group, Leyana, could be pushed to the position of Baron of Rocky Land, Milman's influence would be greater than that of a duke, and he would be the most powerful official in the Kingdom of Cormyr.
The three parties each insisted on their own opinions, and no one could convince anyone.
King Yassan, who had been sitting high on the throne, had no intention of expressing his opinion, but glanced at Fenggedahast inadvertently.
The court mage who had been watching from the sidelines cleared his throat in understanding. All the members of the royal court meeting room stopped arguing and all their eyes fell on him. In the Kingdom of Cormyr, you can disrespect King Yasan, but you must never ignore the court mage, because his words sometimes carry more weight than King Yasan's. Without his strong protection, there would be no King Yasan today, and there would be no Kingdom of Cormyr today.
The court wizard was used to this and spoke slowly: "Here, I have to correct one thing first. General Gavin has made some contributions to the kingdom. On the way to Susal, he worked with the princess to smash the conspiracy of the Secret Hunting Cult to hunt and sacrifice the princess. He summoned the incarnation of Lady Strategy and killed a divine incarnation of the hunting god Mala."
"Killed a divine incarnation? The goddess of strategy is a weak divine power who has just ascended to the godhood, and Mala is a weak divine power, and he is in the process of taking the initiative in the conspiracy. How is this possible?"
"What's impossible about this? The divine incarnation is just a divine incarnation, not the original deity. The two sides are moving. The strength used may be even more disproportionate than you imagined. "
"Anyway, it is also the incarnation of the divinity of a god, and the fall of any one of them is not a small matter."
"No wonder your majesty is so angry, it turns out that the Secret Hunters are really shaking our country's foundation, so they deserve to die."
Everyone present was shocked. It was obviously the first time they heard this news. The previous comprehensive suppression of the Secret Hunters was all mobilized by the royal family's direct troops. The king's order signed directly by King Yasan did not explain too much to these princes and nobles. They knew more or less about the reasons, but they did not know that it involved an incarnation of divinity.
Anything related to gods is no small matter.
Once it is not handled properly, the suffering of all living beings is the least, and the serious will cause continuous wars-those believers of the gods will hold high the banner of their gods and launch a holy war, even if many times it is for personal gain.
"Could the wild beast disaster that broke out in the King's Forest this time be caused by those Mala believers?"
"It must be related to them. They were targeted by those violent beasts. It is said that many of the dead were later found to be secret Mala believers. It must be them who provoked the wrath of nature, causing our innocent people to be implicated."
"But after this battle, the King's Forest will be cleaner than ever before. Not only did those Mala believers die, I believe many forest bandits and fugitives also died. It is said that many of them took the initiative to run out of the King's Forest and surrender, just to beg for asylum from the Purple Dragon Patrol. Haha... The criminals It is not common to arrest their soldiers and ask for help. "
"It is just that countless innocent villagers have also been affected. I don't know how many people have died in the mouths of wild beasts. This is all caused by those Mala believers. We should arrest and expel these cultists nationwide."
"What are the origins of those tree spirits? How come we didn't know there were so many tree spirits in the King's Forest before? What role did they play behind this incident? Could it be that they were controlling those violent beasts from the beginning to the end?"
"Tree spirits do have the ability to charm animals, but this time it is the collective action of all creatures in the entire King's Forest, which is far from enough. Beyond the upper limit of the tree spirits' abilities, they are more like helping the villagers to prevent more casualties. "
"They are indeed further preventing the outbreak of war, but don't think too highly of them. They are not helping our villagers, but those violent beasts, preventing them from mindlessly attacking our defended villages and towns, resulting in a large number of casualties. They are not seen in the logging sites and small settlements destroyed by violent beasts. "
"No matter what their starting point is, they at least prevented the situation from further escalating and indirectly helped us. This is undeniable. "
"In the future, We should be more cautious when dealing with the King's Forest. They will not easily make concessions in the area of logging."
"We have been cautious enough in dealing with the King's Forest. As a result, our shipbuilding industry in Susar has been seriously affected. Although we are guarding an ancient forest, the wood for shipbuilding needs to be imported from thousands of miles away. This kind of thing can only happen in Susar."
Since the topic involves the King's Forest and Mala believers, it is inevitable to talk about the disaster of wild beasts. This incident has such a wide range of impact that Susar got the news at the beginning of the outbreak and responded to a certain extent.
But this incident broke out too suddenly and affected too wide a range. Even the powerful Kingdom of Cormyr could only send extraordinary battle mages to important and large towns to assist in the defense of small settlements. Or the village cannot take care of it.
Except for King Asan, the Palace Archmage and the Crown Princess, a very few people who had contact with Gavin knew who the culprit of this incident was. Whether it was these princes, nobles or ordinary residents, the blame was either placed on those who came to stop it. The tree spirits of the violent beast army either believed that this was the trouble caused by the Maura believers. After all, the violent beasts were mainly directed at them, and ordinary residents were only affected.
King Asan and the others had a very tacit understanding and did not reveal this matter. This young general had no allies in the Kingdom of Cormyr. Even if the Crown Princess implemented the matter of granting him the Baron of Rockland, it would be very difficult for him. If any unfavorable news about him was revealed again, , will directly become a new attack point for these princes and nobles, making things more complicated and not conducive to the implementation of the next plan.
The Maela believers should bear the blame, so it is not too unfair to them.
When the princes and nobles had finished talking, the palace mage added again: "Do you think that the Zhenyin family alone has the strength and courage to attack Her Royal Highness the eldest princess?"
In an instant, the entire royal court meeting hall was silent, so quiet that one could hear everyone's breathing and heartbeat.
This issue is a bit big and sensitive.
If a bad person is involved in a conspiracy that shakes the country, it will definitely be doomed.
Especially when the Crown Princess happened on her way to meet Gavin the Conqueror, it would be difficult for most of the people here to get rid of the relationship, especially those who have conflicts of interest with Gavin.
King Yasang, who had been silent until now, said: "This matter has been settled by the Zhenyin family. I won't go into it any further. I only need you to remember one thing. The foundation of the country cannot be shaken. Whoever moves it will be the one I want." head, no matter how deep he hides it.”
One monarch and one minister, one was a good person and the other was a bad person, completely defining this matter and no longer digging deeper, but they were also warning and beating those who were thinking about something they shouldn't have.
"Your Majesty's lesson is right. Only a country has a home. I believe that no one here will do such a stupid thing. Once discovered, they will become our common enemy."
"We will always be loyal to the royal family and to our country."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that we will never let this happen a second time."
All the princes and nobles expressed their loyalty, although everyone knew that this was superficial.
King Yasan said unequivocally: "Since everyone's opinions are so different, we will solve it one by one, starting from the division of rock land. Your Excellency, Archmage, what is your opinion?"
The palace mage replied: "In my opinion, there is no need to argue about this matter. No matter in terms of geography, politics, or historical divisions, the Yandi and Hongquan reclamation areas are tied together. If it is because of If people break things up rashly, they will fall into the wrong facts and get a reputation of being untrustworthy. As long as we follow a consistent approach from beginning to end and treat all participants equally, we will be invincible."
"Your Excellency the Archmage is right. There are some things that cannot be changed without authorization. Once changed, it will be a breach of trust and shake the foundation of the country. This is the case with the rock division."
"The long historical heritage is what distinguishes Cormyr from other countries. We should respect history and heritage. This is also the case with rock land division."
"Since it is for the overall interests of the country, if I continue to insist on my opinion, I will be stubborn. I am willing to obey all your Majesty's arrangements." Lord Aracelin changed his opinion in a good-hearted manner.
Although she is a newcomer in the political arena of the Kingdom of Cormyr, she has basically understood the country's deliberation model.
When the palace mage expresses his opinion, it usually means that King Yasan has already made a decision, just to leave room for it to be said through the mouth of the archmage.
There is absolutely no good fruit to be gained by going against the king of this country.
Since there is no way to change things, the easiest way is to adjust your strategy and start by conquering the rocky land, instead of blindly trying to separate the rocky land from Tifanton and the Red Spring Reclamation Area.
King Yasan spoke again: "This matter has been settled. Please everyone agree on the issue in the future. As for the issue of Baron Rockland, since many companies have invested a lot of manpower and material resources in it, we cannot ignore it. , take this opportunity to bring everyone together to discuss this matter, what do you think?"
Upon hearing King Yasan's suggestion, everyone present couldn't help but curse the old fox.
His move was not just to plot against Gavin the Conqueror, but to plot all the forces that were peering into the rocky land, and let them openly earn, rob, and seize.
No matter who wins the final victory, the Kingdom of Cormyr will be invincible because their purpose of clearing and developing the rocky land has been achieved.
"Your Majesty is wise. Your Majesty's strategy is much better than my suggestions. I believe that under the stimulation of many competitors, no matter which company is developing and building, they will do their best to try to get ahead of others." Guardian of Susar Maxer took the lead in raising the flag of approval.
Because from the beginning, he didn't have too much selfishness. He had no intersection with the Conqueror Army. Even if he met the Conqueror Gavin on the street, he might not recognize him. The reason why he suggested that the Baron of Rockland be awarded to him was entirely out of consideration for the overall interests of the Kingdom of Cormyr. When he found a better suggestion, he naturally no longer insisted on his own way.
