Chapter 938: Aristocrats, No Glory
When her consciousness returned to her body, Latinia flapped her eyelashes slightly and slowly opened her eyes.
Then she shook her head at the maid sitting in front of her.
The result was not unexpected, and the maid sighed softly, although it was not unexpected, but it was not an answer that would make her happy.
The 'Seal of the Gods' will be broken, and the demon tide will also surge, and the magic element will infiltrate the Black Forest in a short time, even the outer part of the Black Forest will be affected by it, and even the inside and outside of the Great Wall will be affected by it.
However, the people of the Principality of Sorrow were already familiar with this, and even if the situation became more difficult, it would be a piece of cake for them.
But for the rest of the continent, this is likely to be a devastating shock, and if nothing is prepared, many towns and villages will be history.
It was a war that had been foreshadowed for a long time, but it was clear that people in other regions did not believe what they were saying.
And for them, even if the Demon Tide arrives, the first to be affected by the impact is the northern part of the Mendes Continent or the southern part of the Sloh Continent, and they can 'sit back and relax' and continue to live a leisurely life.
The stupidity of these people is hard to describe in words, so all the time, the maid has been strongly resisting communicating with these people, because 'ignorance' is contagious!
"Even if I don't have to do it, the God of Radiance will let the news spread throughout the continent of Sloe Mendes. Latinia sighed, "But the question now is, how can we make those stupid noble lords understand that they are now preparing for a chaotic era, and let them prepare for war with all their might?"
The coming war is not one of the 'war games' of the nobles, and the brutal monsters will not give the nobles a chance to pay the ransom, and they do not need any ransom.
The nobility is hopeless, but the commoners under their rule should not lose their lives because of the stupidity of their lords - even in this day and age, the lives of commoners are poor, and it is a misfortune to be born into a commoner family, but they still have the right to live!
Now the aristocracy has lost its heroism, they now have only cowardice, even if most of them are smart, but their 'aristocratic innocence' is enough to make them die without a place to bury.
'The lord rules the body, the gods guide the soul' is no longer applicable in this era, when even a legendary paladin like Grush killed a nobleman, the noble community did not dare to demonstrate directly to the Church of Justice, because they still needed to maintain dignity.
As nobles, as lords, they can't be evilโeven if they are, no one can rebuke them like that.
They will not ask the Church of Justice to hand over a paladin who has killed a nobleman, because that would be 'interfering with the Church', contrary to the oath made by the ancestors and the gods, but on the contrary, the Church cannot prevent the nobles from wanting and killing a holy warrior who has been charged with a crime, otherwise it will be 'interfering with the rule'.
This has prevented the nobility and the church from working together, and is one of the reasons why the world of Assatom is slowly sliding into the lower planes.
That oath applies to the times that came before, but not to the times that followed.
'The tide is coming', this is no joke!
"Let the adventurers and merchants do it. The maid took a deep breath, "They come and go, and although on some levels they are no different from bandits, they are one of the main ways in this era to deliver external information to the people at the bottom. โ
Latinia frowned and looked up, "What do you want to do?"
This is knowingly asking, even if the maid doesn't need to answer, Latinia herself can understand what she wants to do.
"Thanks to the nobles, most of the people are ignorant...... the maid raised the teacup, took a sip, closed her eyes, and felt the fragrance circulate in her mouth.
After a while, she slowly opened her eyes, the corners of her mouth slightly curled, "As long as the news spreads, the people will panic, and then they will subconsciously seek refuge, but the nobles will not waste their precious troops to protect the 'untouchables' in their eyes." All they need is taxes, and as long as there is a living person under their rule, even if he has no money on him, they will not pity the civilians, but think that the civilians owe them, even if they have never sheltered the civilians under their rule......"
"At this time, as long as adventurers and merchants preach the reliability of the church, the commoners will be like drowning people, desperately trying to grasp the last straw, because they know full well that their lords will not protect them at all!"
The maid smiled slightly, but seemed to show her fangs.
After listening to this, Latinia was silent for a long time.
She knew that Serra had wanted to deal with the nobles of other countries for a long time, but there had never been a good opportunity, so she put it aside for the time being, and in recent years, she had died down, as if everything she had done before was just for posturing.
The new political system did not make any waves on the mainland, and the aristocracy realized that as long as they held power tightly in their hands, then there would be no problems.
The confident nobles were completely relieved this time, and they would no longer be surprised by the actions of the Principality of the Sorrowful Wind, as if they had been completely victorious......
However, it was only Sera who didn't deal with them.
"Do you have to deal with them at this time?" asked Latinia with a sigh.
The maid smiled proudly, "Since they have not fulfilled their duties, then it is no wonder that the church has bagged the loyalty of the commoners!"
"And what about after this?" said Latinia, frowning, and continued, "Do you want the church to be opposed to the nobility?"
Shaking her index finger slightly, the maid chuckled and said, "Latinia, you know the 'nobles' group very well, you should know what the nobles of this era are ashamed of. Even if they don't shelter their people, as long as one of them is still alive, they will collect the 'due tax', and even if the food has been trampled by the invading monsters, even if the houses have been destroyed by the raging monsters, they will still do it, won't they?"
Latinia gasped, "So, are you trying to pit commoners against nobles? Are you crazy? Do commoners have the capital to fight against nobles?"
"Latina, you're wrong again!" the maid shook her head and smiled, "I don't want the 'commoners' to pit the nobles, but to pit the entire 'commoners' against the nobles!"
Pursing her lips, Latinia leaned forward, stared into her eyes full of confidence, and said word by word: "You're crazy!"
"Yes. The maid did not deny it, bowing slightly, "I'm crazy." โ
Biting her lower lip, Latinia tried to find a hint of madness in Serena's eyes, but unfortunately, she could only see calmness and indifference.
"What do you think will happen if the current nobles continue to lead the commoners?" asked the maid abruptly after a moment of relative silence.
Latinia was silent, slamming her body against the soft back of the couch, her hands on her chest, one leg crossed, but she didn't say a word.
"They will die, many will die......," Serena sighed helplessly, "The nobles don't treat commoners as human beings, and they don't care how many civilians die...... As long as their own serfs are not dead, and their own slaves are not dead, they can still have soldiers. โ
"They value neither the lives of civilians nor ordinary soldiers, they value only themselves and the knights of their own fiefdoms......"
"They are a group of devils walking in the world!"
"It's a lot different now...... Aristocrats, no glory. โ
