Chapter 150: Pioneer (I)

The Civil War broke out in the Kingdom of Kolo.

Hearing this, the maid was not much surprised, this is a matter of time, at least half a month, at most two months, a civil war will definitely break out.

She had been wondering which side would be the first to send the troops, and she had always felt that with the character and wisdom of Krylov III, he would definitely take the lead and create a favorable environment for public opinion for himself, after all, there were too many dirty things among the nobles.

He wants to canonize the new nobles regardless of his background, the maid and the black dragon are very clear, although what he wants to do is similar to what the maid is doing, all in order to weaken the power of the old nobles, but it will bring a lot of problems in the future, which is just the opposite of their practice of cultivating the plank road and secretly crossing Chen Cang.

The essence of aristocracy is 'exploitation'!

In this dangerous world, if there is no strong strength, even if there is no natural disaster, the beasts in the wild can destroy a settlement, and then a powerful person appears in a settlement, he becomes the protector of the settlement, he is responsible for protecting others, and others need to provide for him, which is the source of the original nobility.

At that time, only the social division of labor was different, people respected such protectors from the heart, and it was a later thing to elect them as leaders, because of the respect for the protectors, so they also respected the bloodline of the protectors, and then passed on from generation to generation, and gradually formed a system in which the powerful protect ordinary people, and ordinary people support the powerful.

But at the time, it was just a transaction, people were still equal, and the class system came into being later.

Later, it slowly developed, and society appeared!

That was tens of thousands of years ago, and it had nothing to do with modern humans, when the rulers of the continent were not yet humans, and the existing systems of human beings were also learned from other races.

Weak human beings have many flaws, but the reason why they can become the rulers of the continent is because of the two advantages of 'good at learning' and 'strong fecundity', and after continuous inheritance and reproduction, the current human beings appeared.

But regardless of the aristocracy of the time, the aristocracy of today is essentially 'exploitation'.

If the nobles of the past would have protected their subjects, many nobles are now unable to even do basic 'protection'.

If in the event of a war, the first thing the nobles think of is themselves, and many stupid nobles shrink their armies at the beginning of the war to protect themselves, so how can they rule the people?

Basically, no one will protect those 'mud legs', either fleeing or being plundered, and most of the slaves who became slaves in the war were civilians rather than prisoners of war, and now many nobles can't even do basic 'protection'.

Krylov III canonized the new nobles, and as long as it is passed down for a few generations, the new nobles will become like that, and then his children and grandchildren will be more troubled than he is now, because he has done it now, and those nobles will definitely be wary in the future, and it will be impossible to think of him like this again.

On the contrary, the maid is now not only weakening the power of the aristocracy, but also trying to change the perception of the commoners towards the 'nobility' group.

'Everything in the realm belongs to the lord', this is the common opinion of the commoners, but what she and Cervantes are doing now is slowly changing the common sense of the commoners.

For example, when they go to the street to buy something, they will personally hand over the coins to the vendors, and the vendors have changed from 'uneasy' at the beginning to 'habitual' today, just like they have been teaching the vendors that 'it is natural to repay debts', even if the lord buys something, of course, he has to pay, no matter how much it costs, there must be no less.

Every week the maid would give the black dragon some 'money' to go to the bazaar, and he had to buy things, and after he had bought them, he had to pay for them, and in any case the commoners had to accept the concept.

The Duchy of Grief will gradually abolish the aristocracy, and in the end, the 'Grand Duke' will also disappear, because the aristocracy is too backward.

Maybe the aristocracy 'suits' this world, but she doesn't want the world's aristocracy to disappear, she just wants to change the Sad Wind Leader.

But if she wants to do this, then sooner or later she will have to confront the god of nobility.

She is not afraid of the gods, and if she is given enough time to prepare, she can even kill the gods, but at that time, how many countries will establish diplomatic relations with the Principality of Sorrow, and how many merchants will do business with the Principality of Sorrow?

With the exception of a few countries, many countries have a clear belief that if the gods of nobility join forces with other gods to resist the Duchy of Sadness, then the Principality of Sadness may break off diplomatic relations with many countries and cut off economic channels.

In order to avoid such a thing, it is necessary to promote the development of the world economy and occupy an important position in the world economy.

After linking the world economy into a whole and allowing the Duchy of Sorrow to occupy an indispensable position in it, even if the gods want to do something against the Principality of Sorrowful Wind, they must weigh it, because now is the era of co-rule of man and god, the 'gods' are no longer mysterious, mortal kings are no longer afraid of them, and even the two empires and several kingdoms on the continent have the power to 'kill gods'.

Otherwise, why would the gods rule the world with mortals?

Having said all that, let's go back to the civil war in the kingdom.

Krylov III's approach may have brought about a moment of prosperity, but it could also make things worse for the kingdom of Koloe.

It is not what will happen between the royal and local factions, at least in Krylov III's generation, the new nobles will not rebel against Krylov III, because not only because they will be loyal to him, but also because they will see the power of Krylov III in this war.

What the maid is referring to is that the kingdom may become more corrupt.

I hate to admit it, but the nobles are indeed 'capable', at least they know how not to play with it, and if Krylov III wins this civil war, the new nobles canonized will come from 'all walks of life', which is a mixed bag.

How can such people expect them to be of high quality?

If they cannot be effectively controlled, then I am afraid that the Kolo Kingdom may be further and further away from the 'ideal country' in Krylov III's mind.

However, it is a pity that Krylov III's canonization of the nobility this time is a 'meritocracy', whoever has it can become a nobleman, and whoever has high merit can become a great noble.

Then the question arises, what kind of people can get enough merit on the battlefield?

If it is by virtue of their own ingenuity, then it is nothing, but it is more likely that the nobles that Krylov III will be canonized are a bunch of 'executioners'!

The interior of the Kolo Kingdom is different from the Sorrowful Wind Lord, the knights there are not as free as the Sad Wind Lord, most of the knights have their own 'masters', they are loyal to other nobles, if they don't want to lose an inch in this life, then they are unlikely to betray their loyal masters.

The oath they made when they became a knight will always bind them, and if the oath is broken, they risk losing their strength as knights, leaving them with only a well-honed strong body and swordsmanship.

Although it is mysterious to say, but in fact, it is just through autosuggestion and exercise to let the spirit cooperate with the body to break through the physical limit, without that layer of hints, they will fall into self-contradiction, the main point of 'physical strength' and 'will' knights fall into self-contradiction, and the supernatural power will naturally disappear.

Although the 'knight's oath' can be tricked or optionally bypassed, you must not deceive yourself or betray the oath.

The royal faction has the most powerful force in the kingdom in its hands, the 'Ceremonial Mage Regiment', and if you want to fight such a strong enemy, the strength of the local faction cannot be weak, and the local faction has more nobles than the nobles who stand on the side of the royal family, which also leads to the fact that the number of knights on Krylov III's side is not large.

Although the maid was very interested in the fact that Duke Valho, one of the two nominal leaders of the local faction, had 'lost his soul', so the only great nobleman who could command the local nobility was the Marquis of Elfaro, she was betting on Krylov III's side, and only if Krylov III won could she maximize her interests.

So now she has to set her sights on the long-prepared 'Pioneer Plan'!

Krylov III couldn't have imagined it, but she had already prepared it for him -

'The gentleman's ze, the third generation and beheaded'!

If a nobleman fails to make any contribution for the third generation, but instead dominates and acts in his own territory, then he will be demoted from the third generation until he is reduced to a free people.

The maid will also practice this within the Grim Wind Collar, although ostensibly to stimulate the vitality of the nobility and inject new blood into the noble class, but is it actually so?

Anyway, she didn't plan to expose her true goals at such a time.
