In ancient dynasties, especially in traditional feudal kingdoms like Cormyr, how to persuade the nobles to spend large amounts of real gold and silver on one matter has always been the king's biggest headache.
It is unlikely that the nobles will directly disobey the king's order, but they can make it impossible for me to do something!
The same goes for bureaucrats.
The same goes for the bureaucracy. If the bureaucrats appointed by the king do not intend to ruin it, then the bureaucrats will often have two thoughts in their minds.
First, he asked how to make some political achievements to be seen by the king or the nobles in order to gain the opportunity for promotion?
Second, he asked how he could do illegal things in a non-violative way and turn the property of the king or nobles into his own?
That's normal. The Emperor's Custodian La-Endymion has reminded him more than once: People have selfish nature, and even the Emperor himself is not exempt from it, let alone other human beings. In the tens of thousands of years on earth,
Watching from the sidelines allowed the Emperor to see through human nature: although a very small number of pioneers displayed very noble and selfless qualities, most of them were not inclined to leave their influence and wealth to their descendants.
Moreover, the east of the fantasy world is respected for its strength.
So, is there any way to make the nobles focus their efforts in one place?
It's simple, pioneer.
That was not Aaron's plan. He planned to use one year to recuperate, and then after the autumn harvest, the army of the Moonfall Leader, including the Ninth Shepherd Legion, officially began to march towards the Hurek Forest, from Purple Dragon
The armies of the kingdom would conquer that land again after Assan IV.
In addition to the Hurek Forest, Aaron plans to continue to march and conquer the Thunder Peak Mountains to the north and east of the Hurek Forest until he completely controls the two portals.
At the same time, Aaron also proposed a plan to regain Tiffanytown.
Tifanton is the gateway to the north of Cormyr. The city located at the junction of the Thunder Peak Mountains and the Stormhorn Mountains has fallen since the Goblin War. The Kingdom of Eyes and Dragons has no intention of regaining it. A large group of human bandits and jackals
The human tribe occupies the place, and there seem to be many signs of drow appearing there. According to Ms. Raul's information, the large group of human bandits have the support of Zhentai Wai.
It's not like the tower is scattered and the vehicle is crooked.
As for why he planned so, Aaron was concise and to the point.
During the unified period of the ancient and modern times (except for the Song Dynasty) of the earth in Aaron's previous life, national defense was absolutely politically correct, and there were very few people in that field who "can't see any benefits at present and will not see any benefits in the future", but
Is it easy to get everyone's support and give everyone a reason to be willing to spend a lot of real money?
If the "security army" has very good profits, then the "field army" has actually never lost money. You can think about it, I want to bring the best group of people in my territory, the youngest and most energetic
A group of people, a group of people who symbolize the future of the country, are locked up together all day long, let them be completely free of work, support them with the taxes of other subjects, and let them consume energy and waste their time in the military camp all month long.
How much is the loss when entering and exiting?
Everyone understands this truth, but does any country really dare not to raise the wrong field troops?
Is that the biggest fool? All fools know the consequences of giving up national defense.
Combined with "recovering lost territory" and "defending the northern frontier", it would be difficult for the Cormyrs to have any reason to turn against the princess and Aaron.
If Aaron needs to obtain actual prestige, land and wealth through conquest wars, he cannot always use his own wealth to cover the huge territorial expenses.
"He gave me two years." Lisser gave a timeline: "He plans to lead the Susar army to regain Tifantun in three years. When the time comes, I will bring my army to participate.
"
"I have two years to conquer the entire Hurek Forest and the Thunder Peak Mountains. Any land I conquer will be directly sealed to me, he promised."
"Prove it to him, Aaron Salian, the future Prince of Cormyr, Lord Protector of the Purple Dragon, his... fiancé."
The regent princess smiled brightly and accepted the heirloom of the Salian family.
Since then, the relationship between the two parties has been completely settled. Alice Sel can finally let go of any worries and completely give her body and mind to him. The candlelight dinner at an altitude of 300,000 meters and what happens after will become her
The best memories of my life.
Is the dinner party arranged by Slaanesh’s good brother obviously effective?
Early the next day, Aaron came out of the princess's temporary residence with his hands on his waist. He was so tired that he fell asleep when he returned.
After waking up, when the sun was about to set, the two of them did many, many exercises that were beneficial to the body and mind outside the house. They talked sweetly to each other all day long, until night came, and Lisser suddenly
A strict curfew was announced, and the princess changed into a heavy black windbreaker and a goose-yellow princess dress. Her slim figure was paired with a pair of pearlescent black silk pantyhose and a pair of high heels, and she walked up and down the street with Aaron in the dark.
Many exchanges in the alleys and towns left traces of their ruthless feelings.
It wasn't until the third day that the regent Princess Alice, who was satisfied and refreshed both physically and mentally, officially announced that she was leaving the Moonfall Territory and returned to Susar. Before leaving, she transferred Purple Dragon Knight Ramsey and Purple Dragon Knight Haver to
He left it to Aaron and boarded the ship back to the royal capital with the rest of the staff.
The ruthless Lisser took Charlotte away for personal revenge. No matter how hard the eldest lady struggled, the princess insisted on taking her away.
The bestie agreement between them is very effective!
Before the princess left, Aaron and Eleanor stood at the pier to say goodbye to the princess regent.
Finally leaving, Aaron, with two dark circles under his eyes, thought that his legs felt like they were wrapped in cotton.
Finally leaving, the smiling pastor lady Eleanor quickly waved her legs to say goodbye, thinking that it would be best for the two of us not to come again.
Before leaving, Ian Hutson, the Grand Overseer of the Purple Dragon Knights, said to Aaron: "He wished Lucian and I a long life of three years."
"Teacher, he can't be separated, so please take care of him." Aaron shook hands with the Grand Inspector without leaving a trace, and a golden ticket with the Holy Emblem of Lady Joy was stuffed into Ian's hand.
In the sleeves.
The gold ticket with a face value of 3,000 gold lion coins made Ian frown: "Salian of Quchu, please respect him, look after the flag officer, and provide greetings and benefits. It is not his obligation as the Grand Inspector General!"
!”
"He thinks that my place is not very good. It's like a penal colony. If you make a mistake in the future, those Purple Dragon Knights who are not good will be exiled to me." The Grand Inspector said seriously: "Champion of Obeschier
Can Cavaliers Aaron Salian accept the organization’s trust?”
"I am willing to serve the Purple Dragon Knights!" Aaron also nodded seriously: "Everything will destroy the glory of Cormyr!"
Watching the Royal Navy of Sussal leave the shore, Eleanor, who was standing next to Aaron, gently squeezed the center of Aaron's leg. The priest's face was bright red and she said meaningfully: "It seems that there have been cats and dogs recently.
Do you have any idea if you are peeing in the corner of town? Honey?"
"He has intuition, so does he have a big golden hair?" Aaron looked at the pastor lady and replied vaguely, with a smile on his face: "I understand, his intuition has always been very accurate."
"Hmph~" Eleanor snorted softly and gave up arguing with Aaron on that issue. She knew that Aaron would not have such an inheritance now without the support of the princess.
Anyway, most of Aaron's time is not his. Holding Aaron's arm, the pastor lady thought of it.
How dare you come to snatch his position as mistress? That's no ordinary Bichi. You must take a heavy blow!
…………
More than a week later, in March, Ser, the land of the red robe wizards, was a trading post for the red robe wizards.
Ichiatu-Zham, the son of Benn, walked behind the long table in the trading post conference room. For some reason, he always liked to be half-naked. Tomorrow he was wearing a very formal aristocratic dress, and his expression was quite serious.
Ichiatu Chamu could not be described as escaping from death in the Demonic Chaos Realm. It was considered a false alarm. After he was involved in the Demonic Chaos Realm that day, he fought out of it by himself, relying on the most powerful people.
Due to Bane's magical power and inheritance, Chamu was not in a particularly big dilemma.
But it still made Shamu feel palpitated, especially the scene where Cyric's incarnation was completely destroyed by Aaron.
Son of God Benn was a little scared. He frowned and looked at the busy trading station in front of him. He always had an unreal feeling.
Aaron's initial goal shouldn't be against him, right?
Did Shamu think of it?
Since arriving in Ser, relying on the faith of the people there, Chaim has easily regrouped an army loyal to him. Businessmen with previous affiliations have also generously donated money, instantly allowing Chaim to
Get out of trouble.
The intelligence system was restored. Chamu looked at the new pieces of information and murmured: "That's it, it's over like that?"
"He doesn't believe it. Aaron Salian must be brewing a deeper conspiracy!"
From the information sent, Shamu learned that Kelben Blackstaff, Lyla Silverleg, Alustriel Silverleg, Elminster and others had successfully returned to their residences, among which the official
The news came out that Cyric had taken away five volumes, and Alustriel Silverlegs had been given one volume.
This caused a sensation in Silvermoon City, and the Silvermoon City Magic Academy immediately established a new "Star Academy" to study brand-new magic based on Salian's second volume.
At the same time, the intelligence system came to report that Kelben Blackstaff had stayed behind closed doors since he returned to Waterdeep City, even entrusting him with the tribunal.
The Church of the Lady of the Night announced that the Lady of the Night has gained new power from the Shadowfell Underworld, and that the Shadow Web is mutating.
The red-robed chief Sazastan was injured and announced his retreat after returning to Sere. However, the six-ring magic called "Salian Exchange" has begun to become popular among the red-robed wizards.
Can summon a powerful Chaos Demon to be proud of.
News from the outside reached Chamu's ears one after another. Surprisingly, Aaron and Cormier were very silent and did not make any move.
"What exactly is that guy Aaron Salian planning to do?" Shamu took a deep breath of the cold air.
At this time, Disma walked in from the outside, and the strange dark green energy of the liquid shrouded the second senior's body. The aura around him became more and more powerful and disorderly. Although he had not yet touched the legendary realm, he
Come to Shamu and hand over new information to Son of Bane: "The figure of Mansu, the Lord of the Zhenta Chaos, appeared in Zambia. He seems to have become the magical advisor to the great lord of Zambia, Samaron Uskron II.
...Who is that person in the Moon Sea?"
"Oh, Disma, they will most likely be able to meet Mansu, Lord of the Zhenta Chaos, in the future." Shamu said with a sneer.
After lowering his head and searching for a while, Son of God Benn took out a document from the east and handed it to Disma: "Oh, what about the news about Susar? My mentor Lucian has recovered and came out of the nursing home. It is said that the Purple Dragon Knight
The regiment plans to retire him and give him retirement benefits equivalent to those of a castle owner."
"...He knows." Disma was silent for a long time and looked away: "That way...well, the smelly old man should have taken care of himself long ago."
"Is there any good news for them? Dark Moon lost an incarnation in that incident. He should not disrupt their plans for the time being." Chamu stood up and looked at the caravan in the distance, his expression always serious.
"The bad news is that Aaron Salian is becoming more and more powerful, and the Reinsdorf Caravan seems to have joined his command."
"The God of Justice, the Church of Our Lady of Red and Silver, the Church of the God of Guardians, the God of Nature, the Church of the Lord of the Morning and the Mother of the Earth, and the Fairy Wilderness, there are four powerful gods behind Aaron."
Shamu punched the door frame and murmured: "How did that guy become so powerful without knowing it?"
"If he is allowed to develop and move eastward, the country will most likely usher in a new turmoil, which will be very detrimental to them."
"Whether disputes belong to his domain, they are not his!"
"Call Fu Zuoer over."
"Preparations for him to ascend to the throne of God should be put on schedule as soon as possible."
