Chapter 649: The Restructuring of the Kingdom
"Do you have an idea for the Kingdom of Gilneis?" Sylvanas didn't know what Patrick's plans were, but when Arthas invaded, Sylvanas didn't listen to advice and trusted the five families too much, so she waited for reinforcements from Silvermoon City at the gate of Bandinorell, and was finally defeated and killed by Arthas.
However, although Sylvanas found out that there was a traitor in the Scourge Legion, he did not expect that the traitor was a high-ranking member of the council, and that traitor had quietly infiltrated Queldanus Island, causing the Bandy Norrell energy field to fail, resulting in the annihilation of Sylvanas's Far Wanderer forces and the Bandi Norrell garrison.
Now that she has learned from her past, Sylvanas still trusts Patrick.
"I think Gilneth should be used by me, even if they don't join the Arcane Convention, I can't let them join the Alliance."
In Azeroth, the strength of the alliance is the strongest, especially the Night Elves, who are definitely the strongest clan in the world, and after the Draenei joined, with the promotion of new high technology, the strength of the alliance is definitely growing by leaps and bounds, and Patrick cannot let the Kingdom of Gilneth join the alliance and continue to grow the strength of the alliance.
If left unchecked, then the future alliance is estimated to need the covenant and the tribe to join forces to compete with it. Therefore, first, the nascent Avengers must not be allowed to push Gilneth into the opposite side, and second, to absorb the Kingdom of Gilneth into the Arcane Convention, even if they cannot be admitted, the possibility of them joining the alliance must be eliminated.
Although the Lordaeron Alliance is an alliance and the Azeroth Kingdom Alliance is also an alliance, the gap between the two is very large, and the dominant ones are also different. Just like the relationship between the Arcane Pact of Azeroth and the Lordaeron Alliance, both have similar members, but the Arcane Pact was founded by Quel'Thalas, and the Lordaeron Alliance was founded by Lordaeron.
Patrick is confident in acquiring Gilnes. After all, the remnants of the Lordaeron Kingdom are still there, and Greymane still has great respect for Tyrenus, although Gilneth is closed to the country, and Tyrenus has also asked Gilneth for a high tax to establish an orc shelter and a watchtower, which led to the withdrawal of the Gilneth Kingdom from the Lordaeron Alliance.
However, King Jean-Greymayne still attended the baptism ceremony in Alsace, Jean himself still sold the face of the Archbishop of the Holy Light, and now, Terenas is gone, and Alonsos Fao, Old Fording and others are still there, the old friendship is still there, and with the relationship of Lordaeron, Patrick has full confidence in this.
The strength of the Kingdom of Gilneth is also quite strong, after the outbreak of the third war, King Jean let his subordinates lead the werewolf army to face the Scourge Legion, which is also the only kingdom in the entire northern region that has blocked the attack of the Scourge head-on.
"......" Hearing Patrick's thoughts, Sylvanas only had a trace of contempt on his face: "Just them? My Scourge army in the Arctic, combined with the elite Polluters before me, is enough to wipe out Gilneth. ”
Patrick's face was expressionless, and he uttered something that pierced Sylvanas' heart: "Then you will welcome the righteous alliance of Azeroth and wipe out the evil Banshee Kingdom." ”
"You ......" Sylvanas had nothing to say.
"What you need now is to hide, not to be in the limelight." Patrick shook his head slightly: "As a newly formed Avenger, you are still in the internal system of the Horde, and the Alliance will definitely not let go of this opportunity to weaken the Horde's power, and Thrall will definitely not support you in order to ensure Orgrimmar's status." What you need is to hide your strength, just to assist the tribe in defeating the enemy army in times of crisis on the mainland, and don't get too involved in other things. ”
"Don't say more, I already have arrangements for your future, but it will take time to do it."
Sylvanas didn't know what Patrick had prepared for her, but many things had proven that Patrick's plan was correct, his grasp of other people's hearts, and his control of the situation could be described as quite accurate, and sometimes, the enemy followed his plan, step by step, and walked into the grave by himself.
What will be the future arrangement? Sylvanas didn't know, but as Aurelia's sister, Sylvanas believed Patrick.
Subsequently, Sylvanas led the ambassadors back to the Undercity, and the Avengers still need one more condition, and as for when this condition can be achieved, Patrick can only rely on himself.
Things need to be done slowly, and now a new round of internal affairs in Quel'Salas is about to begin.
Patrick came to the Tower of the Sunfury, Kael'thas is about to announce the first batch of elves who have passed the exam and become a public official of the kingdom, from then on, the appointment of public office is no longer a monopoly of the big family and the gate valve, it is all based on the examination, audit, and probation, and after passing the three, you can serve as a public official of the kingdom.
Patrick looked at the list, a total of 116 elves were selected, all of them ordinary elves, and the first batch had a three-year probationary period: "How did they do on the exam?" ”
Duchess Marland took out a stack of exam papers and documents and handed them to Patrick: "Lord Cabolon, this is their exam papers and audit form, please take a look." ”
Patrick didn't read much, just roughly selected a few, most of the exam questions are some arcane knowledge, magic use common sense, and the maintenance of magic equipment, as well as some administrative knowledge, of course, indispensable to the mastery of some laws, generally speaking, some commonly used language understanding, data analysis, quantitative relations, judgment and reasoning, etc.
The arcane splendor shone brightly, and Patrick bookmarked the appointment with his magical signature, one to the left and one to the right, marking the official entry into force.
It won't be long before Patrick will bring true democracy to the Kingdom of Quel'Salas, giving the entire kingdom a new look.
In Patrick's own thinking, the opposite of democracy is not dictatorship, but feudalism, and the feudal system represents the current aristocracy of Quel'Salas. Patrick has now broken the monopoly of the five major families, allowing the elite among the commoners to have a path to rise.
Of course, Patrick can't tell Kael'thas about this idea, because in their thinking, voting is democracy, even if these ascending channels are firmly controlled by several families, and the common people can only be depressed for the rest of their lives.
The royal family needs votes to divide the parliamentary faction, and the parliamentary faction needs votes to act in front of the common people, but a broken ballot cannot represent a person's political demands.
