Chapter 810: Empire's Outlook (5)
Please support the new book "Guild Wars of Online Games"
"Gru! Gru! Gru! Gru! In the middle of the loess-paved arena, under the watchful eyes of hundreds of thousands of spectators, a scarred leon-like orc struggled to pull out the giant axe of his own size from a beast the size of at least one small truck, and then raised it high above his head and shouted with all his might.
"Oooo Gru! Gru! Gru! Gru! When the leonin orcs proved that they had defeated the beasts, the gladiatorial arena once again erupted in earth-shattering cheers, the commoners cheered, the noble ladies threw their silk scarves at the orc named Gru, and even the nobles who were incomparably noble in the eyes of the commoners joined in the cheers.
Is it because this gladiator possessed a powerful charisma? Perhaps this does occupy a large part, but this is not the root cause of all the nobles who came to watch the cheers, and this reason actually comes from the identities and experiences of these nobles.
Nowadays, if you want to say that the nobles of that country are the most terrifying, everyone in the King Continent will tell you that the nobles who never set the sun are the most terrifying nobles in the King Continent, because the elite people attached to the Sun Never Set Empire are either businessmen who eat people and do not spit out bones, or officers who have cut hundreds of people from the battlefield, because the sun never sets Only these two kinds of people can obtain the title of nobles, and those nobles of other countries who submit to the Sun Never Set Empire have only these two paths to choose after surrendering.
And if you want to talk about the aristocratic group in which the sun never sets is the elite in terror, people's first reaction will basically be to say that it is the aristocratic group formed by the orthodox sun never sets, after all, there are 10 of them at random. All of them killed were at least the population of a small town, and it was possible that they had chopped that number with their own swords.
But in fact. Although the sun never sets on the aristocracy, they stand at the top of the imperial elite, but they are the real mainstay. It is indeed from the Western Continent after the surrender of thousands of Atlantan nobles.
It can be said that in addition to the nobles who are inferior to the nobles of the Sunset bloodline in terms of military ability and business ability, the rest of the nobility can be said to be equal to the nobles of the Sunset bloodline, and in terms of comprehensive ability, the Atlanta nobles are the best, and for the Sunset, they can be said to be the most brilliant treasures left by the Atlanta Empire.
As for whether the reuse of the Atlanta aristocratic group will lead to a split in the empire's elite class, Sun Lin is not worried at all: although Sun Lin has gradually opened up many rights involving the core of the empire to the Atlantan nobles in recent times, the real core of the empire: military power and commerce, military power has the blood of the nobles who never set the sun and the most loyal lackeys of the empire: the Xiyi family. However, the foundation of commerce and trade has always been firmly held in the hands of the bloodline aristocracy on which the sun never sets.
Even in addition to many other imperial foundations, such as agriculture, mining, entertainment, etc., are also in the hands of the noble groups in the northwest continent of the empire, although the Atlantan nobles seem to be the most favored on the surface, but in fact compared to those silent few noble groups, they are just a group of the most valued employees under their own hands, maybe they can climb high, but at least for a few decades, they are not qualified to replace the leader.
But the current form is for these Atlante nobles. It's enough for them to consume generations, so even some smart guys choose the status quo instead of rushing for quick success and pursuing higher rights again and again. Because they know that they don't have the capital to swallow those seemingly beautiful things.
It's just that the Atlantic aristocracy, who pursued the idea of "steady development", did not seem to notice that they had gradually begun to become sunset, and they began to learn to deal with things in a way that the sun never sets. Treat things with the behavior of people who never set the sun, although because of factors such as Poseidon religion and local customs. The Atlantan aristocracy certainly won't get so thorough, but over time. In the future, even if they look different from the Sunset People, even if they have different beliefs, they will eventually become, calling themselves the Sunset Atlantans, not the Atlantans, and this will also happen to all the Atlantans in the entire Western Continent, and even many peoples and races conquered by the Sunset Empire.
Just like now, the Atlantans, who originally had a somewhat romantic personality and wanted art and literature, have fallen in love with the entertainment product unique to the empire on which the sun never sets: gladiatorial fighting.
"Again! Again! Gru from the Boer family of the Southern Continent has won again, this is his 9th consecutive victory in the Colosseum! "In the medieval era, it was obviously impossible for a megaphone to be able to transmit its voice throughout a huge gladiatorial arena, even with the special sound transmission construction design of the Mo forging people, and each of the more than 20 viewing areas was equipped with a gladiatorial docent, of course, they also held the position of cashier in each area, after all, every gladiatorial fight was a huge profit.
"Father! This guy named Gru is amazing! Located on the marble platform with the highest view and the best view in the gladiatorial arena, and equipped with a special docent, the young Sun Ba, the prince of the sun never sets, said excitedly: "Father, can I choose this guy as my guard captain?" Looks like this guy is very good at fighting! β
"There are more exciting gladiatorial fights ahead, and you will definitely enjoy it." Sun Lin smiled and touched his son's small head, and then said, "Xiaoba, my father may have to spend a few minutes to meet a few uncles, can you and your sisters stay here for a while?" Father promised you that when the matter is done, he will take you to eat delicious food, as long as that Gru survives today, I will call him over at that time, okay? β
"A word?"
"Of course, it's a deal!"
After hooking up with his son, Sun Lin took the two members of the royal guard to leave the high platform where he was and walked towards another high platform, but on the way, a member of the guard who followed him couldn't help but say to Sun Lin: "Your Majesty, you really want to let a Southern Continent orc prisoner of war be the head of the prince's guard, will this be inappropriate?" β
And another member of the guard also spoke: "Yes, Your Majesty, instead of letting that Gru come, it is better to transfer the elite of the half-orc legion or the elite of the orc legion, our orc warriors are definitely dozens of times stronger than that Gru." β
"The problem is that this prince has been paying attention to this guy named Gru for a long time!" Sun Lin shook his head and said, "He revealed in front of my crown this time that he wanted this Gru to be the captain of the guard. It's not that he's already settled, I'll agree to all his requests in the next few days, don't forget that there is someone behind the little prince. β
There is someone behind Sun Ba. There is no need to think that the two members of the guard know that behind the prince must be the mother of the current empire. The rumor that His Majesty the Emperor is a strict wife has already spread throughout the empire, and this is really the case, especially in recent times, His Majesty the Emperor has been snubbing his wife in the war in the south and the north, and it is said that the first thing he did after returning to the new capital was to return to the palace to pay for a day's sin.
And now, it is said that Queen Yue'er is not only pregnant with a second child, but also so far very fond of her eldest son Sun Ba, but this point has been thoroughly understood by the little prince of the ghost, it is said that the little prince has been extremely happy recently. Anyway, as long as it's not too much, it seems that the matter of letting His Majesty ride him as a horse seems to have happened, after all, His Majesty has lifted the two in the family and the one in the queen's belly to the sky.
So Sun Lin can't say anything about this request made by Sun Ba in front of him, because he is afraid that as soon as he disagrees with this kid, he will go to his mother's place to grind and soak hard, which will not be fun.
"Then Your Majesty, why don't we find someone to defeat this guy in the gladiatorial arena?" Said the members of the guard.
"Looking for whom? The two of you? Is it possible? And apart from the two of you, you can tell me, who can really guarantee that he has done that Gru now, although I don't want to admit it, this guy's battle is really up to our orc elite and even orc officers. But the question is, where do I go to find our orc officers now? As for the members of the guard, I heard that you have been with the prince a lot lately, and it is said that there is a guy who has a brain drain and dares to take my son to visit the kiln. β
"Your Majesty doesn't have such a thing!" The two members of the guard instantly broke out in a cold sweat, but they didn't say anything when they saw their emperor. I didn't dare to say anything more, and these guards were all elites who survived from the battlefields of the Empire's conquest, especially the thousands of Imperial Imperial Guards currently under Sun Lin's control, all of them were the elites of the elites who survived from the meat grinder battlefields on the Maginot Line. So they also know that what Sun Lin said is completely right. This guy in front of him is definitely a master, and judging from the murderous aura and fighting style on his body. This guy is definitely the elite of the Orc Empire's army.
"The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, it's a big deal that I will just hand you all over to him, I think that kid is estimated to have coveted you long ago after learning about the achievements of the various troops in our empire." When Sun Lin was chatting with the two guards, he had already come to another high platform, but it should be a quiet high-rise room, but at this time, there was a dispute between a young woman and a middle-aged man, of course, Sun Lin, as the king of a country, did not have a habit of eavesdropping on the foot of the wall, and he didn't care about it, so he directly pushed the door open.
"How can you get your fiancΓ© to go to gladiatorial fights! He's an officer of the Empire! If something happens, don't talk about you, even me and a few people present can't afford it! The door opened, and at this time, several men were surrounding a middle-aged man and constantly persuading something, but the middle-aged man ignored the persuasion of the people around him, and angrily scolded a noble girl before his death.
"It's obvious that Andriel is going by himself, why are you talking about me? And it's just an ordinary gladiatorial fight, not a life-and-death fight, what are you afraid of, Dad? The girl said with a nonchalant expression
"You idiot! It's an orc, and it's the same orc named Gru, what if he goes berserk, how can he be with Andrell's human body"
"How impossible! He's a centurion of the orc legions! β
"That's just a centurion! That Gru is you, you, you're going to me off. β
"It seems that I have come at the wrong time." Although Sun Lin's voice was not loud, it seemed to have a magical power, which made the brains of everyone present fall into a brief blank, and then, except for Sun Lin and the two members of the guard, everyone present immediately knelt down The noble girl did not react, it was his father who directly pulled it down with a big wave of his hand.
"See Your Majesty!" (To be continued......)
