Chapter 372: After the War
The war is over, completely over......
Krylov III did not expect that things would turn out so much more than he expected!
Although the cause of this war is related to the perennial conflict between the nobility and the royal family, Krylov III did not expect that Albernard Elfaro would kill so many people for a magic experiment......
According to the legendary paladin, Abner Elfaro killed all the local nobles, and it is almost certain that the last 'Mind Flayer' to appear is the Demon Lord who controls Rykan and the 'Boss Mott'.
The devil was played around, but the mind snatcher became the ultimate beneficiary - after confirming that this was the case, Krylov III had a feeling that the world was so ridiculous.
Krylov III thought that he knew the world well enough, but he did not expect that he was also kept in the dark.
'It's time for me to leave, His Majesty Krylov III. ’
Krylov III vaguely remembered the scene when the legendary paladin - the legendary paladin who could summon the gods - Grush said goodbye to him.
'You are a good king, and no other nobleman can compare to you, but I will continue to follow through to the end. ’
The legendary paladin's face was calm, but there was a fire burning in his eyes.
'I hope you will warn your nobles that I respect you and that no king is as brave as you, but if your nobles abuse the common people, I believe that one day I will appear before them, and the laws of the kingdom cannot stop their wantonness, and the sword in my hand can. ’
To Krylov III and the nobles around him, Grush's words were no different from a 'threat', but Krylov III did not choose to do anything, even though the nobles' faces were very ugly at that time, and Master Floys was by his side.
But this is the kind of deterrence that Krylov III needed!
Even he didn't expect that he was almost middle-aged, but he was almost middle-aged, but he was able to rekindle his enthusiasm and keep it for a long time.
Once, after getting used to the sophistication of human feelings, what Krylov III wanted to do and would do was how to avoid trouble instead of solving it, but that also meant that the problem was not actually solved, but only hidden.
Originally, it may be just some small problems, but if it is put aside for a long time, these problems will ferment, and the problems will not solve themselves, only face up to these problems, and actively try to solve these problems.
If you don't try, the problem will never be solved!
After the end of this war, will Krylov III relinquish power and redivide the old and new nobility into royal and local factions fighting each other?
That's obviously impossible, he wants to learn the Sad Wind Leader, and it's naturally good to be able to override all the nobles, but the strength he has can't do that at all, so he can only try to introduce the current system of the Sad Wind Leader to erode the power of the nobles little by little.
Even if they could still have ownership of the territory, but the rule was in the hands of Krylov III himself, could they impeach him again?
I'm afraid that by then, they won't even be able to assemble the impeached army!
Krylov III himself did not possess enough force to deter them, but Grush could, especially when Grush's 'legend' was once again sung within the kingdom, and the 'just hand' would become the 'executioner of the bad nobles'.
While this would cause his commoners to worship Grush and become a little disappointed in him as a king, there was no need to worry about it if he could make their lives better.
He had learned a lot from the head maid of the Sorrowful Wind Leader, and what amazed him the most was the power of 'language'.
Krylov III knew that in many parts of the world, most commoners only knew who their lord was, but not who their king was, but in the Sadwind Realm, the opposite was true!
Everyone knows that the head maid is the one who really works for their welfare, and the reason why they can live such a good life is all thanks to the head maid.
If they didn't say it, no one would know that the head maid had done it, and they would only think that their lord had 'converted'.
Without any publicity, it would be impossible for those civilians to know the name of the head maid, and then her reputation in the Sorrowful Wind Territory would not be so high.
It is precisely because of the publicity, coupled with those real achievements, and judging from the bastard things that the nobles have done before, those things cannot be done by the nobles.
'Language' is terrible, propaganda is also crucial, although Krylov III thinks that he can't do the level of Serena's maid, but the most terrible and ordinary thing in the world is 'comparison', with those waste-like aristocrats, will Krylov III still be afraid that he will not be able to get the support of the people?
What the chief maid was doing was against all the nobility, the existing aristocracy, and if Krylov III did the same, he would be attacked by the nobles, and even more seriously, the noble goddess!
But Krylov III couldn't help it, who let him see a more advanced management system than the aristocracy?
Because he wanted to work hard, he wanted to be a better king, better than his ancestor Krylov I, and at this time, he happened to discover a better and more advanced system than the aristocracy, how could this not impress him?
He will inevitably be opposed and attacked by all the nobles, because they are vested interests - even his father-in-law, even the prime minister of the kingdom, they will not choose to support him, because they are all vested interests.
If he touches the interests of those people, then they will not hesitate to betray themselves and stand on the other side!
But, yes......
As a king, does he really have to learn from his father and equate 'politics' with 'compromise'?
Is politics really the 'art of compromise'?
It's ridiculous!
Compromise creates only the illusion of prosperity, and if you don't fight, you end up with nothing but a mess – like the war that just ended!
If it weren't for the contradictions that have accumulated over the years, then Abner Elfaro would not have been able to provoke this war so easily.
Of course, Krylov III also did something wrong, and if it weren't for the fact that he was bent on 'reviving the royal family', then this war would not have been so easily provoked.
The army from the Grim Wind didn't choose to evacuate first, as they needed to rest too, and their supplies were depleted, and they wouldn't be able to get far if they didn't replenish them.
From the Prime Minister came the news of the 'suicide of Mott' - he did not disappoint Krylov III!
In order to allow his race to walk in front of people like other races, instead of just hiding or being put on a 'collar', in order to cooperate with Krylov III, Mott chose 'death' between 'death' and 'living'.
If he dies, then his race - the vampires who will not attack humans - will be able to get a chance to live in Greenland!
They are no longer a bunch of 'monsters', but real 'residents'!
This is what Krylov III promised, and Mott chose death, so that vampires would surely be able to become inhabitants of Greenland like the 'rat people'.
This will be part of Krylov III's blueprint for the future!
