Chapter 1244: National Thief (seeking a monthly ticket)
Semitic people are just a general term, not actually a single ethnic group.
On the earth, there are more than a hundred Semitic residents living.
Among them, the Lingshan people are the most powerful, followed by the Leishan people. The rest are small tribes living in remote places.
Lingshan occupies the best land in the Semitic continent, with a pleasant climate and abundant rainfall. Therefore, compared to Leishan, the Lingshan tribe is relatively wealthy.
The capital of Lingshan is also the most prosperous. With its broad mind, it welcomes visitors from all directions. It is not as stubborn as Leibao, which is wary of outsiders.
Because of this sense of identity, the Semitic people prefer to think that Arkadelin is the capital of the Semitic people compared to Thunderburg.
Therefore, when people mention the Semitic people, they usually refer to the Semitic people.
For thousands of years, the entire Lingshan clan has been ruled by seven royal families - their ancestors came from the same family of the emperor at that time.
In a certain distant era, after the death of the emperor, due to the endless competition between the various forces, but they were evenly matched, the various forces involved each other and a stalemate came to a standstill.
Everyone holds the idea that "if I can't get better, no one else can get better either", and no one is willing to take a step back.
Under such circumstances, the throne became vacant.
Later, the High Priest of the Undead took the opportunity to intervene in Semitic affairs and became the actual supreme ruler of the Semitic tribe. Only then did the seven families suddenly realize that the snipe and the clam were fighting, and the fisherman benefited. They were in trouble fighting here.
Blood flowed, but in the end, others were advantaged in vain.
But facing the undead high priest who was as powerful as a demon, even if they wanted to fight, they were unable to save themselves.
Although there were a few unyielding heroes who drew their swords against the will of heaven and raised armies to resist, the final outcome was all defeats and spread throughout the world. They thought that those who came after them would be warned.
In order to preserve their strength, the Semitic royal family could only endure silently.
As the years passed, the seven royal families continued to multiply. Although some families gradually died out, more families became more and more prosperous.
Under this situation, the seven royal families spawned countless collateral family forces.
These children of the royal family either hold important positions within the Lingshan government, or serve in the army, or engage in business, or they are scattered all over the place.
They used their blood to weave an unfathomable network in Lingshan, firmly controlling all aspects of the Semitic political economy.
The relationship between them is complicated and intertwined, like a big ball of twine that has been kneaded together. There is no clue at all. When it comes to the history, even the most outstanding textual research experts cannot explain the reason.
However, the seven families themselves know it very well and will never mess it up - the genealogy and heraldry of the nobles is a must-learn subject for every noble child.
Although the royal family chose to bow their heads and give in, it was only against the high priest himself. It did not mean that they would surrender and withdraw from the stage of history willingly.
In the two thousand years of history, the struggle between the seven royal families and the undead clan, and other noble forces, and even between themselves, has never stopped.
Moreover, in these fierce struggles, the seven royal families have always stood firm by virtue of their strong strength.
Even the High Priest of the Undead can't do anything to them. It can be seen that their status in Lingshan is deeply rooted.
As the saying goes, ‘There is no superior in a poor family, and there is no inferior in a rich family’.
In Lingshan, if an ordinary person wants to be an official, he will not be able to gain a foothold in Lingshan if he does not have a good relationship with one of their families.
This is why the disciples of the High Priest of the Undead must launch a coup and kill those important ministers in order to establish their own power. Because these positions are firmly held by the royal family's cronies.
And afterwards, it was only because of the strong suppression of the High Priest of the Undead that there was no civil strife. Otherwise, due to the temper of the Zhao Lingshan royal family, they would have been reduced to a pot of porridge by now.
But it's not much better now.
Although the people in power who came to power in the coup and the Lingshan royal family coexisted peacefully on the surface, in fact they were in conflict.
In the dark, both sides are fighting, assassinating and retaliating against each other constantly. Several unknown corpses always appear on the streets of Arkadelin every day.
Therefore, in order to control the situation, the prime minister who came to power in a coup had to work hard to form a large number of new divisions in order to bypass the control of the royal family and build his own power.
The Fourth Caribbean Division was born under this background.
At the same time, he also spared no effort to dismantle the original legion system, disrupt the officers from the royal family and branches, and deploy them everywhere.
City Lord Brad was born in the direct line of the Iskander family and has a noble status. With twenty years of experience in officialdom and upper class society, he is also well aware of the huge power of the family.
In short, there is nothing they can't handle.
It was the first time for Lord Brad to receive a warning from his family to "be careful" like this.
Even our family can't guarantee his safety, which shows how serious the matter is.
After suddenly hearing the news, Lord Brad took a few steps back and sat down on the chair on the balcony, sweating on his forehead.
The old butler quickly poured a glass of wine and handed it to Lord Brad.
Frankly speaking, Lord Brad is not a bold and ambitious person, otherwise he would not be satisfied as the Lord of the Caribbean, nor would he be able to raise a kind-hearted daughter like Fiona.
The bad news really shocked him.
Thinking of the recent incidents of forced recruitment of soldiers, Arkadelin didn't even give a notice. Lord Brad quickly figured out that it was the people who came to power in the coup who wanted to take action on him.
But after all, he was a member of the Iskander family, and the royal pride that was embedded in his blood was instantly aroused. Even if he died, he could not lose the family honor.
Thinking of this, City Lord Brad took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and then stood up with his knees pressed.
He said to the messenger with a calm face: "Thank you sir for reminding me. I know what to do. Butler, take him down to rest and entertain him well."
After the butler took the order and left, Lord Brad looked up at the bright moon in the sky and murmured: "Since you want to come, then come~!"
Lord Brad's fat body was suddenly full of fighting spirit.
At the beginning, the problem that Lord Brad was most worried about was that his daughter's vision was too high and she would not be able to get married. He even suspected that this matter would become a problem for him throughout his life.
But now, this problem has long been solved.
Although she was from the same human race as Lorraine, which made him a little reluctant to let go. But no matter how you looked at it, the young man was really good. He could make money and take care of his family. He also had good literary talent. He was also a good hand at copying and killing people.
Not to mention, my daughter wrote in a letter saying that the boy promised that if he gave birth to a son in the future, he would definitely inherit the Iskander family.
This made the city lord so happy that he almost didn't find Bei. Because the second problem he was most worried about was also solved.
The current city lord can be said to be fearless.
He waved his guards over and whispered: "There is a man named Karl Homann among the guests. Send someone to keep an eye on him."
Although the tone was gentle, there was still a hint of murderous intent. People in the royal family all bleed cold blood. They may pretend, but they will never be merciful... At this time, Karl Homann slowly walked out of the noisy room.
Hall, from the brightly lit luxurious hall, into the dim courtyard.
The Governor's Palace of Caribbean City sits majestically on the top of the mountain. This is the most beautiful place in the entire Caribbean Port.
Looking up, you can see the sky full of stars, and looking down, you can see the surging sea under the moonlight.
The chirping of insects can be heard from all around. The flower beds on both sides of the courtyard are filled with green plants, and if you look closely, you can see small red or green fruits hanging on them.
Karl Homan raised the corner of his mouth, showing a sneer, and thought to himself: "This is some damn poisonous wolf fruit~!"
If the bubble of hype about the poisonous wolfberry hadn't collapsed, the garden full of poisonous wolfberry would probably be worth a sky-high price.
But now they are just a kind of fruit. Although they are much more expensive than Chinese cabbage, they are just a kind of fruit.
The storm of speculation emanating from the courtyard of the Governor's Palace has ravaged almost the entire Semitic people. Some people have made a fortune while others have lost everything.
The violent shock caused by the collapse of the bubble has not dissipated to this day.
"A national thief!" Karl Hohmann snorted and cursed in a low voice.
He looked back at the luxurious hall with a look of disdain on his face.
Compared with others, he knew a little more: the trend of hyping the poisonous wolf fruit originated from those damned Lorraine and Leo.
Karl Homan even dared to assert that the hype was definitely a conspiracy by Lorraine to disrupt the stability and unity of the Semitic people.
It is a pity that those incompetent officials, out of selfish motives or because of their incompetence, finally allowed his vicious plot to succeed.
The sudden outbreak of the poisonous wolfberry crisis caught Arkadelin's officials off guard, and for a time affected the most important war preparations.
As the origin of the storm, Lord Bullard, as the lord of a city, must have played a role in fueling the storm. He bears a heavy responsibility.
In Karl Homan's view, Lord Brad was a real national thief.
When Lorraine was in his city, he not only did not know to report him, but on the contrary, he assisted Lorraine in harming the Semitic people.
He even sent his daughter to help Lorraine cover up, allowing Lorraine to easily sneak into the guards, disrupting the high priest's plan to unite Ling Shan and Lei Shan.
For this, Lord Brad and all the high-ranking officials and nobles who indulged Lorraine all bear unshirkable responsibility.
The Lord of Brad City is a spiritual person. If he had any sense of self-consciousness, he should have committed suicide by caesarean section to thank the people of the country.
However, the Iskander family went against the grain and not only refused to admit guilt, but also made excuses in every possible way, saying that the matter had nothing to do with them.
They obeyed orders from the Prime Minister and acted as traitors.
Lorraine disrupted the high priest's plan and stole the war fortress, causing extremely heavy losses to the Semites.
After the investigation, in the end, only a few petty officials were removed and a few insignificant characters were arrested.
None of the relevant responsible persons have been punished. Including Lord Brad, he is still sitting peacefully in his position as Lord of Caribbean City, without any trace of shame.
I really don’t know~!
This situation not only shocked the young officers who occupied the backbone of the middle and lower levels of the army, but also made them extremely angry.
According to Karl Homann, this is the reason why they must launch a coup, execute the incompetent bureaucrats and revive the Semitic people.
If they do not do this, the future of the Semitic people will be dark. Only conscientious, passionate and true Semitic people can save the future of the Semitic people.
When he thought that he would become a city lord or admiral in the future, leading Semitic armies to gallop around and establish immortal achievements, a sense of destiny and mission made Carl Homan's excited Ananda tremble.
He clenched his fists, looked back at the brightly lit hall, and murmured: "Only our actions are just. The sinners must be punished. Today it will be you, tomorrow it will be the Iskander family, and the day after tomorrow it will be all the silverfish,
Finally, there is the human continent..."
Karl Homan walked out of the city lord's palace, walked down the hillside along the road, and walked around the dark Caribbean City a few times. Until he was sure that no one was following behind him, he quietly came to a house in the lower city and asked for help.
The technique knocked on the courtyard door.
After a while, the courtyard door opened with a creak. A narrow crack was revealed, and a vigilant eye appeared from behind the crack. He glanced at Karl Homann before opening the door. He complained dissatisfiedly: "Why are you just opening it now?"
Come."
Karl Homan didn't even look at him, walked straight to the room, and said casually: "I just went to attend the dinner party at the City Lord's Mansion."
The man was startled and said in horror: "You don't want your life~!"
Karl Hohmann turned back and glanced at him contemptuously, saying: "Fritz, you are so courageous? Then I really found the wrong partner."
Fritz said angrily: "It doesn't matter if you don't want your life, we still have so many brothers. We are in the business of killing heads. Do you know how many soldiers there are in the city? Five thousand people~!"
Karl Homan opened the door and said calmly: "It doesn't matter. I mocked the old dog in person, but he didn't react at all.'
It’s ridiculous that he doesn’t know yet, but I am the one who is going to kill him.”
Sitting or lying in the room, there were about a dozen burly men gathered together. They were powerful, with fierce expressions, and weapons at hand. They were obviously not good people.
They just raised their heads for a glance, then lowered their heads and went about what they were doing.
Fritz was quite dissatisfied. He chased after Karl Hohmann and kept chattering: "Please don't show us the way you used to please women in Akadelin.
This is not just bragging with girls in the theater, do you know how to kill someone?"
Karl Homan interrupted him angrily and said: "Shut up. Can you, a simple-minded warrior, kill a city lord?"
Fritz sneered, crossed his arms across his chest, and said coldly: "I don't know how to kill a city lord, but I know how to kill you."
The big men around him felt the murderous intent in his words, and couldn't help but look at each other, and then they all changed their sitting postures. Inadvertently or unintentionally, their right hands had already touched their own weapons.
Carl Homan responded tit for tat and said: "Don't forget who sent you here, they can make your life worse than death."
Fritz seemed to remember something terrible, and shuddered, and his momentum suddenly weakened.
Karl Homann showed a victorious smile and said: "I have already thought of the plan, and you just have to execute it when the time comes. Leave the rest to me. After it is completed, I will ensure that you will live a lifetime of prosperity and wealth."
Fritz curled his lips unwillingly, poured himself a large glass of strong wine and drank it in one gulp, then stared at Karl Homann and said, "Tell me about your plan."
Karl Hohmann was very proud of his plan and said proudly: "Let's create an explosion first."
"What the fuck?" Fritz asked doubtfully.
"A country bumpkin is a country bumpkin," Karl Homan cursed in his heart, and said, "They just find a bunch of people to gather around and make trouble in front of the city lord's palace. This will lead to corruption, and officials are most afraid of this."
Fritz shook his head and said: "They will definitely step up their guard when there are more people. How can we take action?"
Carl Homan said with a straight face: "Just listen. I have already found the person. They all lost their money when they were speculating on the lone wolf fruit. If I say I can help them recover their losses, they are willing to listen."
In my opinion, they are really a bunch of idiots who are easy to deceive, no wonder they ended up being the takers."
Fritz also laughed. In his opinion, spending dozens or even hundreds of gold coins to buy poisonous wolfberries was a sign of something wrong with your brain.
"Your people just blend in with the crowd." Karl Homan said: "When things get into trouble, the city lord will show up and give an explanation. That's when you take action. Do you guys take advantage of it?"
"No problem," Fritz said with a slap on his chest, "This is what brothers do, eh..."
Fritz took out a crossbow from under the table and threw it on the table, saying: "The arrows are all poisoned. The venom of Black Mamba will seal your throat when it sees blood."
Karl Homan smiled and nodded, saying: "I will let them create chaos. You kill the city lord, and I will swarm them and break into the city lord's mansion.
The foolish city lord was beaten to death by the angry people, which is indeed a death method suitable for the Iskander family."
Fritz said: "After the incident is completed, how do we retreat?"
Karl Homan waved his hand and said: "I have already planned it. As soon as the city lord dies, I will send a signal, and the Fourth Division outside the city will rush in to take over Caribbean. You can mix among them and go to the Fourth Division's military camp. There
No one dares to check. Stay there for two months, and then you can go home after the storm has passed."
"Is it really that simple?" Fritz shook his head worriedly and said, "That's the Iskander family, and they will take revenge."
Karl Homan laughed loudly and said: "You don't understand politics. If the city lord is assassinated, it will cause an uproar, and the Iskander family will definitely not let it go.
But if he is beaten to death by angry people in a mass incident, the nature is different. This is called the government forcing the people to rebel. It means that there is a big problem with this official.
For the sake of regional stability, Akadelin will only minimize the big issue and put the responsibility on the dead officials. Not to mention that the Prime Minister is on my side.
The Iskander family could only try their best to cover it up because it was a scandal.
Brad, Iskander will not only die, but he will also die in infamy, and he deserves it."
Fritz shook his head blankly and said: "I don't understand, the nobles are still afraid of killing a few common people."
Karl Homan glanced at him with the eyes of an expert looking at an outsider, and said: "No matter what the reality is, officials and nobles do what they do better than anyone else. Officials have to make decisions for the people. This is called politics. If you don't
Got it,
You don’t need to understand, just do it.”!~!
