Our family is in decline

Lance then slowly retracted his kicking leg, looking at his embarrassed appearance and mocking:

"You don't think I'm as useless as you, do you?"

This word directly broke his defense, and coupled with the original pain, he could no longer hold back his self-proclaimed noble face, which looked ferocious and crazy.

"I am the emperor of the empire, you damned bastard!"

The emperor roared and tried to get up from the ground, and even didn't bother to find a dagger to rush up again, but was scolded by Sophia on the side.

"If you lose, you lose. You have lost the face of the family. Don't let the family be ashamed again!"

The familiar voice made the emperor pause, and finally noticed the woman, and soon remembered something.

"Bitch! You are not dead, you are the sinner of the family, and you brought them in."

Even Sophia couldn't hold back now, and was too lazy to say anything. She raised her hand and waved the strong smell to take away his consciousness directly, and fell to the ground unconscious.

This is quite helpless to complain to Lance.

"With such a person, it's no wonder that our family has fallen..."

"A spoiled child."

Lance also lost interest in him. He was just a clown and could not be a fellow villager.

"What should we do? Kill him?"

"Why kill him? I plan to make this place a tourist attraction and renovate this room to let ordinary people see what the last emperor of the empire is like. If you like to be an emperor, then be an emperor for life and let him stay in it forever."

Lance couldn't bear to kill him. He just wanted to humiliate him severely. He couldn't let him die even if he wanted to.

A commoner could come in and visit the emperor for money. He was still alive like in a zoo. The so-called princes and nobles became a joke.

Killing people is boring. Lance likes to kill people.

But this made Sophia frown. After a little hesitation, she still asked a question.

"Open this place? Are you going to make Hamlet the capital?"

If it was before, she would definitely not dare to ask such a sensitive question, especially because her identity was a bit special, but after getting to know him, she felt that Lance was easy to get along with, even comfortable, and not at all a power madman like the emperor.

"Why do you ask that? Do you also think I want to be the emperor?"

Lance asked a strange question, which made Sophia not know what to say.

But then he smiled and comforted, "I know what you are thinking. Since we have conquered this place, it is just right to call everyone back to talk about this issue."

The rapid offensive of Hamlet's army eased slightly, because all the generals and senior officials gathered in the imperial capital, and a meeting to decide the next direction began.

"Although everyone is fighting to liberate the empire, I also know that many people actually have a question in their hearts, that is, when will I become the emperor.

Especially now that Saint Helier has been taken down by us and the so-called emperor is under our control, this question has become more and more intense.

In fact, this is only the surface. The deeper question is what kind of system will be used to manage the empire when we take it down, and what position will everyone here be in.

Now I can tell you very clearly that if I don't become the emperor, there will be no emperor here anymore."

This is an enlarged meeting. Many people came, including many talents who have emerged this year. It can be seen from the fact that most of these people are young and middle-aged that war is the best catalyst.

Some of these people may have heard of the legendary story of the man on the stage, but they may not have really had contact with him for a long time, so they are inevitably full of awe and mystery in their hearts, so they are inevitably a little nervous when facing such naked words from Lance.

"The environment has a great influence on people. You grew up under the rule of feudal aristocracy and religious society, and you are used to this. You have only been exposed to the Hamlet system for a short time.

In addition, the busy war has left you with less time to think about this issue, so it is normal to have doubts. There is no need to avoid or feel strange. What we need is to learn and think."

Feeling the restlessness of the crowd, Lance was very calm. His words seemed to have a magical power that made everyone immersed in thinking.

"To put it bluntly, you were slaves, mercenaries, civilians, merchants, foreigners, pagans in the feudal era... How many of you here are nobles?

I say this not to humiliate your origins, but to tell you that if Hamlet still wants to do something feudal and aristocratic, you would not be sitting here today.

Remember! You are here today not because of your blood or your origin, but because you have contributed your own strength to the greatest cause of mankind."

The reason why Hamlet was able to win so quickly was that the original huge civilian class of the empire had been suppressed for too long. Wherever the army went, a large number of people joined the resistance team, whether they took up weapons or did various logistics, they all contributed. Many talents were born as slaves and were quickly promoted.

A meeting determined Hamlet's next political system, completely burying the feudal aristocracy. Hamlet wanted to bring about change, not return to the quagmire.

Although the framework of Hamlet was built in the early stage and the nobility had nothing to do with it, there are still many problems to be faced, such as the selection mechanism, administrative system, and supervision system... No political system is perfect, there is only the concept of adapting to current needs.

To be honest, Lance doesn't think that inheritance can be eliminated. Relationships are human nature and no one can escape them. At most, they can hide them in other ways and become unwritten rules. He thinks that what doesn't exist is just because you are not qualified to have access to it.

Because he has seen more violent changes than now, with a powerful explosion that cannot be defeated by even the most powerful enemy. But in the end, no matter how loudly he shouts slogans for mankind, it cannot change the fact of decadence and corruption.

That's right, we're talking about Warhammer!

The one who said he was not a god was placed on the golden throne and became a harmless statue of a god. Everyone below him used his banner, and he had to bear all the blame.

Anyway, Lance will definitely not be fooled. He is not a saint. This "emperor" can be fooled by anyone he likes. It is of no benefit to him at all. He is purely taking the blame.

Giving up power on the surface does not mean that Lance can't really influence the country's decision-making. It's more about hiding behind the scenes, because the core are all his own people who he single-handedly promoted.

The meeting unified their thoughts, and Lance also set an example. This news made Hamlet's proposition more profound. The slightly slowed war started again, and the emperor, the largest noble lord, was captured. The rest was just a matter of time.

The landmark event was that Hamlet's army captured the Holy See, countless clergymen underwent reform, and some heinous crimes were publicly tried and executed. As for the city where the Holy See was located, it became a scenic spot after a major purge.

Lance really did it, moving away another big mountain that was weighing on ordinary people, and Martin was also glad that he made the right choice and preserved a little bit of strength.

The liberation of the empire was quickly completed, and a new country was born on this war-torn land.

During this process, Lance did not interfere too much with the design of the superstructure. It is unreasonable to copy it and it must be combined with the local conditions.

It's just that he actually designated the area around Hamlet as an autonomous area, then gathered the extraordinary people there and established an organization to manage the extraordinary people.

The difference with the church is that this is not mandatory, but a clear channel for people with inspired talents.

To put it simply, Lance plans to make Hamlet the headquarters of extraordinary beings. The reason why he does this is very simple, to effectively cultivate and manage extraordinary beings to prevent them from losing control and harming the world.

After Lance stabilized the situation in the new country, he convened a small meeting with the country's core power levels, but it involved more secretive matters.

"The departure of the evil god only eliminated the nightmare that haunted our family and lurked in Hamlet, but from the information left behind by the cult, we can see that the threat of the ancient god still exists, and we must find a way to survive."

Lance is not an alarmist, this is the fact. The ancestor is like a bug lying on the ancient god's body to suck blood. No matter how hard he tries, he can only leave a mess on the ground, which makes him feel stretched. The embarrassment, otherwise it would not have been so easy to be killed by Lance.

“I need to study the extraordinary power related to space, find more space slits, and when disaster strikes, directly peel off a piece of real space and escape into the stars to save the last bit of fire for mankind.

I call it the [Wandering Planet] Project, and for this I need more extraordinary powers. "

Lance talked about the secret about Hamlet in a long way. In fact, everyone knew something about it.

"What do you mean, sir?"

"I want to talk to all the extraordinary forces in the world and regulate the extraordinary ones. Instead of wasting resources and talents in infighting here, gather everyone's strength to prepare to execute the plan."

"Our appearance has already attracted the attention of other feudal countries in the world, and we have even shown very strong malice. However, they also have their own interests in the extraordinary world. I am afraid that it is not so simple to unite."

"What if we have this?" Lance took out a few objects and lined them up. "Now that we have conquered the purification technology of spiritual crystals, no extraordinary person can refuse this."

Everyone looked at the crystal material, which was smaller than a copper coin, but exuded spiritual luster. The caster could feel that it was a good casting material, a ritual material, rich in spirituality and extremely low in pollution.

Spiritual crystals have always existed, but the direct extraction methods are complicated. Purification is very troublesome, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and is contaminated by extreme emotional condensation.

It's just that Lance discovered the unique effect of the comet, which can directly absorb the spiritual energy from the corpse and transform it into crystal.

Lance used the ritual left behind by the legendary mage Alves to extract the power of the crystal and refine it into a higher purity spiritual crystal to make coins.

War will inevitably bring about death, and hundreds of people die. So how much spirituality is condensed in their lives?

In addition to the blood crystals harvested from the dungeon and those from the Blood Holy Grail before Lance, it can be said that it is more than enough, and it is still being produced.

Lance was arrogant, but not a madman. He never thought about becoming an enemy of the whole world, so after liberating the entire empire, he did not seek more external land. On the contrary, he quickly lifted the blockade and began normal commercial trade.

In the current world of immortality, spiritual stones are common consumables, but the technology is monopolized by Hamlet. If they want it, they have to come to Hamlet.

And this is indeed the case. Those extraordinary organizations, or individuals, basically come to Hamlet in order to obtain spiritual coins.

Then they discovered the magic here. After development, crystal lanterns have been installed on the bustling streets, a real city that never sleeps, and the project of renovating the ruins has created a city that serves extraordinary people. Everything is developing. middle.

One year to regain territory, one year to liberate the empire, and one year to stabilize the country.

It has been three years since Lance came to this world. Now that the three-year period has arrived, he has finally completed the layout. The next step is to adapt to the development of the times, promote the advancement of science and technology, and integrate extraordinary power.

…

It was spring again, and Greendale, Leonard, and the others found Lance fishing on the beach.

"I understand that your lord has given up on becoming the emperor. Now even Hamlet's lord has given up. Will he also give up on us in the future?"

Lance liberated the empire but gave up the power of this new country and returned to Hamlet, which was divided into autonomous regions. After the situation stabilized, he actually gave up his status as a noble lord.

To be honest, changes in the system will definitely harm the interests of some people. The situation with Hamlet has been a bit unclear recently, and many people have opinions about him.

As someone who had been with Lance all the way and knew clearly what he had to do, Greendale couldn't understand it very much. She was so good-tempered that it made other people anxious.

After receiving the news, Leonard and the others immediately put down their busy work and rushed back from the field just for this matter. They were worried that the lord would be put under pressure in this regard. Everyone knew that the lord was kind, and good fucking people should have their guns pointed at them. ?

"I've been hiding here and you can still find me."

Lance still smiled when he heard this. He knew this would happen, so he hid and fished.

But since he was asked, he answered.

"I divided Hamlet into autonomous regions to better manage the extraordinary people, not to keep the nobles. If you leave a noble today, countless people will find ways to exploit this loophole later. Then haven't our two years been in vain? Already?

Although I am no longer a lord, I am now the first principal of Hamlet College and the first director of the Emergency Management Bureau. A noble title that everyone shouts about is of no use.

And power means responsibility. You should know that I have no interest in these things. I have been fighting for several years, can't I enjoy it? "

To be honest, Lance is really not interested in the trivial and nonsense things among ordinary people. Now he has too many titles on his body.

I'm here to fucking enjoy life. I couldn't help it when I was a cow and a horse in the past. Now that the situation is stable, I still want to be a cow and a horse. So wasn't my work in vain?

It is impossible for him to hide behind the scenes with a name. On the contrary, getting rid of the noble title of lord can make him gradually fade away.

"But it was so difficult for us to solve Hamlet's problem back then. You suddenly did this and everyone was a little bit at a loss..." Greendale felt a little unwilling for Lance.

"Who are these people?" The smile on Lance's face became even brighter, and he complained unceremoniously, "Do you want to rest on your credit book? I told them to study hard and not to slack off. They themselves were beaten by others. Still not convinced that you can’t catch up but can’t compare with others?

Or do you want to use my name to express your ambitions? If he had the courage and ability, why not go it alone? Just because you have a relationship with me, can you look like a human being? "

Lance didn't care, and he didn't say a word. Some people were really concerned about his sudden retirement, while some were worried about their own interests after he retired. Lance could still tell the difference.

However, he also knew that his actions were a bit sudden, so he immediately comforted a few people.

"Throughout the history of the world, even the ancient empire that almost unified the continent has disappeared, and even the capital, which carries huge ambitions and is known as the Eternal City, has been breached and has become a joke.

Kingship has no eternity, and no matter how huge an individual's ambition is, it will become meaningless in the long history, but what we do is eternal, because as long as humans exist, our stories will continue..." (End of this chapter)
