Xingyue, another world recasts the glory of human nature

"The army in your hands is our only strength now. Please supply it immediately and then defend the city to prevent Xi'an's army from attacking directly."

Seeing Enoch's weakness, Kom's depression due to the defeat dissipated a little. However, when he heard that the Xi'an Army might attack directly, his face became ugly again.

In the confrontation between the Roman army and the Unsullied army, despite the favorable location and people, the Unsullied were at a disadvantage.But the strength and bravery of the United Roman Legion gave Kom the most intuitive feeling.

Fortunately, until the evening and into the evening, no one noticed the trace of the army.

This made many nobles in Kom and Tandan breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that Xi'an's master has no intention of finishing the battle.

But this kind of stability made Tandan's nobles despair.

If Xi'an's army takes advantage of the victory and pursues it immediately, and Qiao Ya's Unsullied defend the city, there might be a slim chance of turning defeat into victory.

But if the other party has achieved results and victory, they can directly go back to rest and then send troops over.Facing the well-prepared Human Alliance, Tandan had no room for struggle or resistance.

The nobles of Tandan spent the whole day in such panic.

Discuss countermeasures, how to deal with Xi'an?

With Tandan's army completely wiped out and Qiao Ya's army severely damaged, it was impossible to deal with Xi'an.

Most of the nobles could only curse the initiators of this defeat, the barbarians who occupied Xi'an and only used force, indulged slaves, and the Silver Shield mercenary group recruited.

If it weren't for the barbarians who indulged the slaves and refused to abide by the traditions and order of Slaver's Bay, how could things have developed to this point?

If it weren't for the cowardice of the Silver Shield Mercenary Group and the stupidity of Pusaia as the commander, how could such a powerful coalition be defeated in such a short period of time?

For a bloated system that is close to stagnation, when something has a huge negative impact, the first thing to do is to attack the person who caused the negative consequences and the failure.

Roma and Xi'an are the victorious parties, and the Tandan nobles want to shirk the blame to no avail.And Pusaiya led the Silver Shield mercenary group to surrender directly to the enemy, and there was nowhere to find punishment.

In the end, the responsibility fell on Enoch, the great nobleman of Tandan.

The Silver Shield Mercenary Group was recruited at the initiative of Enoch. The mercenary group was timid and Enoch had to bear the blame for Pusaia.

Enoch, on the other hand, advocated a tough approach to the Xi'an issue and directly drove out the power from the Forbidden Land that entered Slaver's Bay.

This war against Xi'an was also strongly encouraged by Enoch.

Previously, there were voices in Tandan who wanted to stabilize Xi'an with an appeasement policy.

If it had been a policy of appeasement, it would never have fallen into such a passive situation now.

Chapter 131 Proposal

"Grandpa, it's time to take medicine."

In the luxurious bedroom of the mansion, the smell of spices filled the air. A girl in a long skirt came to the bed, holding a medicine bowl in her hand.She looked at her grandfather who looked gloomy on the bed, his face full of sadness and worry.

Seeing his favorite granddaughter, Enoch forced a smile on his wrinkled face.

The coalition forces were defeated and Tandan's Unsullied Corps was wiped out. This incident itself was also a blow to Enoch, so he fell ill the next day.

"City Lord's Mansion, those guys are probably attacking me now..."

As a member of the nobles, Enoch naturally knew what those nobles were.Climbing into the flames and adding insult to injury is a must-have skill.

Even in the current situation where Tandan is already in danger, this kind of thing will happen.

In other words, it is precisely because of the huge pressure from the outside world that the internal restlessness and disputes will become more intense.

"Nothing...my uncle knew that you fell ill not long ago and sent someone to express condolences. I was afraid of disturbing your rest, so I didn't inform you at that time."

The Enoch family has a brother-in-law relationship with the current Tandan City Lord's family. In terms of seniority, the current Tandan City Lord is Rajel's uncle.

Hearing what Rajel said, Enoch smiled bitterly.

"Are there any actions by the nobles in the city now?"

Rajer shook her head. She only knew that the noble council was just quarreling, but did not take any action.

"It must have been a day since I fell ill. Haven't the adults in the city discussed a countermeasure and taken action?"

Enoch became a little excited, so much so that he coughed violently.

Rajer put down the medicine bowl, sat on the edge of the bed, and gently stroked his grandfather's back.

"As soon as we know that Tandan's army has been completely wiped out and there is no resistance left, we should immediately send an envoy to Xi'an to express our surrender to Xi'an."

Enoch said, but his voice and expression were full of bitterness.

"With this stalemate waiting for the Lord of Rome and Xi'an to bring his army to Tandan City, how will the nobles deal with themselves when the time comes?"

Seeing his grandfather's appearance, Rajer slowed down his voice and said cautiously:

"Actually, a noble made this suggestion...sending an envoy to Xi'an, willing to pay a large amount of wealth in exchange for Tandan's peace."

"It's just that the nobles are somewhat reluctant to part with their wealth, so the amount of wealth they should pay is still under discussion..."

Hearing what Rajer said, Enoch laughed angrily.

"Want to bribe that lord with wealth? And, because of the amount of the bribe, the matter has not been determined yet?"

"What did those guys think?"

"Leaving aside the fact that only strong fists have the right to bargain, now Tandan has nothing to scare the other party. If you want to bribe others, why doesn't the other party personally lead the army to seize the wealth?"

"Besides, do those guys really think that the young lord is the same kind of person as themselves?"

"The Lord of Xi'an is more like a noble on the mainland than a noble from Slaver's Bay."

"There are no rules on that continent where the loser pays a ransom to maintain the status quo. The winner takes all and the loser loses everything."

It was precisely because he saw clearly that the lord named Kazama and the nobles of the Slaver's Bay city-state like himself were not the same people that Enoch argued against all the opinions and advocated the removal of this threat.

Even if the war failed, Enoch still believed that his idea at the time was correct.

As long as the new Xian order exists in Slaver's Bay, drastic changes will occur in Slaver's Bay sooner or later.

And this change, even if it is slight, is enough to completely collapse the aristocratic system of the slave-owning city-state.

Thinking of this, Enoch became extremely depressed again.

The idea is right, but it cannot beat the opponent in terms of hard power.After all, weakness is the original sin.

"Sending an envoy to Xi'an should be an expression of complete surrender, even if the other party wants to abolish Tandan's slavery system, even if it wants to seize our title and wealth."

"Our ancestors have been living in Tandan for generations. Even if we are reduced to civilians, as long as we can save our lives and stay here, sooner or later we will be able to rise again."

However, it is absolutely impossible for the Tandan nobles to take the initiative to do so.

Even if Enoch himself knew that this was the most correct approach, when he thought about being deprived of his noble status, losing his wealth, and having a humble slave be equal to him, Enoch would never accept it.

"Any more?"

Enoch turned his head to look at his granddaughter.

"About the next course of action discussed by the Noble Council."

Rajer's parents died very early, leaving only the only daughter.

And Enoch himself is already very old. In this era when the average life span is no more than 40 years old, Enoch is already a monster who has lived for a long time.

Enoch didn't know how long he could survive. Sooner or later, the family would be inherited by Rajel.

He has been training his granddaughter to become a qualified noble.

In fact, Rajel is qualified to participate in the Noble Council, but she doesn't like the atmosphere there, and at most she can just listen outside.

"There are still some people who advocate taking refuge in Qiao Ya..."

Rajer reported to Enoch.

"Just like those former Xi'an nobles, they used this time to take the wealth that Tandan can take away to Yadan before the Lord comes to fight. Those who can't be taken away will be destroyed. Absolutely don't let Xi’an’s people have gained nothing in Tandan.”

"This proposal was proposed with the support of Lord Kom."

"Lord Kemu promised that as long as the Tandan nobles are willing to move to Qiaoya, he will guarantee the original status and wealth of the Tandan nobles."

Upon hearing this proposal from the Noble Council, Enoch's expression became very ugly.

Let's not talk about whether Qiao Ya's army, which only has [-] remnant soldiers who have escaped and is defending the city, can stop Xi'an's weapon.

Can you believe that you can go to Qiaoya with Tandan's wealth and still get the same status and guarantee your own wealth?

The reason why Tandan is willing to take in Xi'an's old nobles is because it is beneficial for Tandan to keep these old nobles.

If Xi'an can be snatched back, Tandan can rely on this group of old nobles to obtain a lot of benefits.

But now, there is no need to think about fighting back. There is no use in taking in the old nobles. At most, it just looks better in face.

It also guarantees the wealth and status of the Tandan nobles who have taken refuge in Joya... City-state slavery is inherently an extreme pyramid structure, and the number of people belonging to the upper class is always limited.After all, Tandan is an outsider. If he enters the opponent's system rashly, he will only be squeezed out.

As for wealth, if you go to Qiao Ya with your wealth, then you will be a slave to others and you will be a fish and meat, so what guarantee is there that you can keep your wealth?

Chapter 132 Undercurrent

To express surrender to Xi'an was just hard for Enoch to accept.That made Tandan's nobles take refuge with Qiao Ya with their wealth, and this proposal made him feel the danger.

In the former case, with the former Xi'an noble as an example, the lord did not carry out a bloody cleanup, but only expelled them.

It can be imagined that the other party is not a cruel person. As long as he is willing to surrender, he can save his life even in the worst case.

In the case of the latter, this proposal has already involved the political struggle within the city-state.And in such a struggle, the city-state nobles who are participants are definitely not as kind to their fellow humans as the outsider lord of Xi'an.

The core question of Qiao Ya's proposal is: What should the city lord of Tandan do?

Can the city lord of Tandan maintain his status and wealth in Tandan after taking refuge in Qiao Ya?

No, that's not possible.

Even if the Lord of Tandan City is willing to just be an ordinary nobleman of Qiao Ya, the Lord of Qiao Ya will never really accept the Lord of Tandan City.

Compared with taking precautions, killing people is often the most convenient and effective way to solve troubles.

The Lord of Tandan City should be able to think of the danger behind this proposal. Compared to completely surrendering to Xi'an, the Lord of Tandan City will never accept this proposal.

Because this is directly related to your own wealth and life.

The reason why this proposal was successfully put forward and discussed in the Noble Council was because...

Enoch suddenly covered his chest, with a look of pain on his face, and slowly closed his eyes.

He thought of the key to the matter and understood the current situation.Before facing the crisis in Xi'an, Tandan may have to go through an extremely tragic crisis first.

Seeing his grandfather in such pain, Rajer's face became extremely pale.

She said hastily:

"Grandpa, please have a good rest and don't think about this matter again."

"How could you not want to..."

Enoch squeezed a moan from his mouth.

"Now is the most dangerous moment for our survival..."

"grandfather..."

Rajer was about to say something, but Enoch grabbed her hand.

"Ragel, listen to me first."

Enoch held Rajer's hand tightly and tried his best to speak calmly.

“It doesn’t matter whether it’s a vicious tiger or a lion that’s coming on the outside, but inside there’s already a vicious wolf showing its sharp teeth.”

"It's Colm, the Joya Unsullied that that bastard is holding."

Due to this defeat, the alliance between Tandan and Qiao Ya is now in name only.

And when the alliance ceases to exist, the power that remains in Qiao Ya has turned into a huge threat.

The deepest meaning of the proposal to join Qiao Ya is to "take sides."

Ordinary Tandan nobles can indeed choose Qiao Ya.After all, nobles still value face. Even if face is useless, it is quite good for decorating the facade.

A controllable number of Tandan nobles have taken refuge in Qiao Ya. As long as Qiao Ya's class pyramid can bear it, maybe Qiao Ya will really keep his promise and give the Tandan nobles their original status and guarantee their property.

But not the city lord, nor the nobles who have a close relationship with the city lord.

The Enoch family belongs to this kind of nobles who have close ties with the city lord.
