Chapter 853: Elizabeth's Problem (Page 1/1)
There have been a lot of major events in Goldrim City in recent days, such as the assassination of the old city lord, the first heir in line was also killed in the chaos, and the second heir in line went away to study abroad, and for a while there was no more suitable heir except for the old city lord's Amazon daughter.
Elizabeth is not an unacceptable new lord to the nobles of Goldrim City, but when you add the Amazons who are eyeing her back, it's worth pondering.
The city of Godram has been in conflict with the Amazons since its founding, but the relationship has become ambiguous with the strange relationship between Count Algernon and a certain Amazonian princess.
The nobles of the city made a lot of money from the Amazons on all kinds of luxury goods from the Old World, and the last thing they wanted was for the Amazons to directly intervene in the trade.
Elizabeth Prince apparently had a strong Amazonian background, which made the city's nobles and merchants wait to see what she did next, but they were soon disappointed.
In addition, the church also regards Godrim City as its breakthrough in the Far South, which may be a great opportunity that the church has never had in the Far South Continent, after all, the reason why the pioneer nobles of the Old World stayed away from the civilization circle was to find themselves a place outside the law without a ceiling, and the church power was the most rejected by them.
And now, the nobles of the city of Godram showed their goodwill to the Church, and instead of opposing the mass presence of the clergy in the city, they took a tacit attitude.
Both the Seris and the Amazons were alien to the aristocracy, and if they had to take sides, they would prefer to cooperate with the more familiar church.
Even more important to the head of the Elizabeth lord is the former suzerain, the Duchy of Sarion, after decades of recuperation, gradually recovered from the abyss of civil war, and also showed some interest in the isolated city of Godram.
Just yesterday, a merchant ship laden with mercenaries had just docked in the harbor, and they were received by the Priest Kidd of the Temple of Fortune, among whom was a small group of lion knights.
As a proud veteran of the Lion Knights, Arvis was sure that there were at least seven Lion Knights, and the armor under their robes and the swords at their waists bore the Lion Knights' emblem.
Until now, no one has reported this to Elizabeth, which makes the girl feel that her ability to control the city seems to be hollowed out.
The last time the Seris made a havoc in Godrim City, Elizabeth chose to exclude the dissidents and let the demon hunter take the Assassins, and the nobles in the city completely lost trust in Miss Elizabeth.
The Knight of Arvis was probably the only nobleman in the city who supported her wholeheartedly, and Elizabeth had to balance the various forces every day to prevent a sudden outbreak on one side.
The Kshatriyas have withstood the pressure from all sides and survived in the cracks, but the days have not been so satisfactory, especially recently, more and more priests, more and more Amazonian female warriors, more and more mercenaries, all of which have put great pressure on them.
The Kshatriyas, who were mainly Ganges, were clearly heretics in the eyes of the clergy, and they also came from the East, and many of the clergy regarded them as potential allies of the Seris, which made the Ganges unable to shed tears.
The Amazons are more direct, and the feminist fighters from the matriarchal society have no different attitude towards the Ganges than they do towards the greenskins, and they will go to war directly when they encounter them, which makes the Kshatriyas have the idea of completely withdrawing from Godrim City.
Perhaps the only good news is that the mercenaries who came from afar seem to have made a special trip to trouble the New Huaxia people, and the Ganges people finally confirmed the news after many inquiries.
The two Singers, who had experienced a death, got together and were currently engaged in the business of providing services to the mercenaries, from the intelligence of the New China people to the logistical support, and the entertainment services as long as they were paid to take any job.
And these mercenaries, who receive weekly salaries directly from the Temple of Wealth, have been very rich in money lately, and they are very generous.
Abhishek Singh, with his long-sleeved dancing ability, has recently had a heated fight with Kidd, the pastor of the Church of Woking, and from the pastor's mouth, he knows that these mercenaries are just the tip of the iceberg.
The mercenaries who have now arrived in Godrim City are basically adventurers from the Running Single Gang, and they left when the news from the Far South just spread, and those warbands that are really powerful and have a large number of transcendents are basically still on the way because they need to gather people, prepare food and grass, and confirm contracts.
Abshek felt that this might be another opportunity for the Ganges, especially when he learned that there were many supporters behind the Wojin Church.
In less than an hour, the two middle-aged old foxes, who were secretly pregnant with ghosts, hatched a plan that would benefit both parties.
Abshek expressed his willingness to take on the task of taking on the tasks against the Seris on behalf of the Kshatriyas, and said that their organization numbered 1,500 men, making it a large warband.
Of course, this is not entirely nonsense, the total number of Ganges in the Far South is about two thousand, but they have not yet been fully gathered by Singh, and the current Kshatriya Gang will not exceed eight hundred non-Ganges players, and the extra places are completely for empty pay.
Kidd did not hesitate to sign the employment contract, and under the watchful eye of Ms. Waukin, Abshek passed the integrity test perfectly.
In Abshek's mind, the Ganges were one, and sooner or later they would join the Kshatriyas, allowing him to circumvent that very simple ritual magic.
In this way, the Ganges do not have to worry about financial problems for the time being, and they even have spare money to buy better weapons and raw materials to make their own gunpowder weapons.
In return, Kidd would be paid fifty mercenaries once a week, entirely for himself, all of whom nominally belonged to the Kshatriyas.
Kidd has no conscience at all about this kind of kickback-taking behavior, his position as a priest of the Bank of China is all donated with money, and the reason why he squatted in this remote area of the Far South is mainly because of a fraud case involving royalty in the Old World a few years ago.
Of course, in fact, Kidd only lost an investment, and was eventually characterized as a fraud because of some unknown political factors.
For example, he lost all the money that a crown prince had saved for 30 years.
