Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 260 The butt decides the head
"Ahead is the town of Mara, which belongs to one of the territories of the Hydera family. The mayor of the town is Baron Currence." Little Thumb, who acted as a guide, introduced the three special envoys very competently.

Facing Little Finger, the Marquis of Borgasos always smiled, acting as if he had never cared about Little Finger's identity, and instead had a happy chat.

Earl Dekla's attitude was a bit worse. He didn't hide his arrogance from the bottom of his heart at all. He just looked down on the mouse-like little finger in the gutter, while Princess Nine still watched quietly and never expressed any opinion.

The difference in status among the three can be seen from the attitude towards the little finger, because the butt determines the head.

As an imperial aristocrat, behind the friendly attitude of the Marquis of Bogasus is both the helplessness of his own lack of background and the sympathy with the mafia.

The Black Hand is not a non-governmental organization, but a special establishment by a certain emperor of the empire to do dirty work, because the power of the traditional aristocracy soared during that period, almost occupying the political power of the seventh layer of the empire. In theory, as long as more than three If the two traditional nobles reach a consensus, the emperor can be replaced, and if all of them reach a consensus, the royal family can even be split.

No ruler can tolerate a courtier who is too powerful, so even self-mutilation is not hesitating, so the struggle has evolved from the court to a horrific massacre in the dark.

The black hand organization representing the anger of the emperor did not hesitate to raise the butcher knife against the traditional nobles, killing those traditional nobles who dared to offend the dignity of the emperor, and plundering the wealth accumulated in their era.

But this process did not last long. First of all, the traditional nobles are not easy to provoke, and the real big nobles cannot be provoked or killed by black hands, so although many people have been killed, it is only the small and medium nobles who are unlucky , The death of these people will only make the big nobles eat their mouths full of oil. After all, wealth can be plundered, how can land and population be plundered.

Even the emperor cannot directly occupy these lands, because according to the tradition of the nobles, as long as the bloodlines are not extinct, someone will always come out to inherit the title and land.

However, the traditional marriages between nobles have resulted in genealogy that is outrageous compared to spider webs. It is unrealistic to kill them all. Some bloodlines even extend to the royal family. How to kill them?

Not to mention the land, even most of the stolen goods were given to the traditional nobles. This shows that the killings ordered by the emperor did not hurt the foundation of the traditional nobles at all.

Although many traditional nobles have benefited from the killing of the black hand, it does not mean that the traditional nobles will continue to tolerate this behavior, because the black hand represents the emperor, and the emperor's behavior is destroying the traditions of both sides since ancient times.

You must know that almost all the traditional great nobles are founding fathers, and they are directly loyal to the emperor, which is the relationship between monarch and minister.

The problem is that this gentleman is always thinking about the minister's family property, who can bear it, of course he will resist.

But no matter what, both sides have a tacit understanding to limit the struggle within a certain range, because once the two sides really tear each other apart, the empire will immediately collapse, which is something no one wants to see.

They are all on the same boat, scolding is cursing, beating is beating, breaking the ship is not acceptable.

But the emperor who formed the black hand broke the tacit understanding between the two parties, and he crossed the line.

So after a tragic political struggle, the emperor had to abdicate early in embarrassment, and died soon after swimming in the lake.

The emperor is like this, how can a black hand as a butcher be better.

Even if the new emperor thinks that the black hand is easy to use, if he wants to keep it, he dare not do it blatantly, so he declares that the black hand is an illegal organization of the empire and must be severely cracked down.

This is so similar to the situation of the nobles of the empire. They are all the dogs of the emperor, but one is in the dark and the other is in the light.

At this time, Currence had already changed into the baron's costume, ready to welcome the arrival of the special envoy.

Because of the end of the riots and the merger of the military camps into the main force, there were not so many soldiers stationed in Mara Town. However, as the first front facing the south, it could not rely entirely on the musketeer militia, so Owen gave Currence A group of soldiers was deployed, including one hundred halberdiers and one hundred cuirassiers.

As a unit worth five progress points, not to mention its strength, its appearance surpassed that of ordinary soldiers by more than one level.

Vigorous energy, strict discipline, neat formation, and excellent equipment, all belong to elite soldiers in the empire.

The Marquis of Burgessos, the Earl of Dekla, and the Ninth Princess were all amazed. They were not surprised by the combat effectiveness of these soldiers. In fact, even if the number was increased by ten times, it would not mean much to them.

Seeing through the surface and knowing the inside is a necessary ability for a superior person.

As an envoy, the Marquis of Pegasus, who often travels to various places, has amazing observation skills, and as a traditional nobleman, Earl Dekla is very familiar with the training of soldiers. The two immediately realized that these soldiers were mass-produced, because of the cooperation of the soldiers And the queue is completely prepared for large-scale battles, not small fights with dozens or hundreds of people, but real wars with tens of thousands of people.

If not, then there is no need to train such soldiers at all, because the cost performance is too low.

Then this is interesting, except for the empire and the major traditional nobles, who has the ability to train elite soldiers of this scale?At the same time, what do you want to use these elite soldiers for?
The attitude of the three members of the Special Envoy Group, who were originally indifferent, changed immediately when they saw these elite soldiers.

The little thumb on the side saw the whole process and smiled, because this was exactly what he expected.

The stronger Hydera is, the higher the intelligence value in his hand.

But if he didn't see the real thing, even the hype he said was useless.

No, the three members of the special envoy who had been ignorant of him before now had a much more friendly attitude, including Earl Dekla.

Earl Dekla is proud but not stupid. Traditional nobles rely on land, but it doesn't mean they are bumpkins. In fact, they are the main source of students for the Imperial College. What's more, alliances and marriages have almost been carried out throughout the life of traditional nobles.

Therefore, facing a possible powerful lord, his first consideration was not whether to report to the empire, or how to guard against it, but how to form an alliance.

For the traditional nobles, the enemies of the empire are not necessarily their enemies. In fact, as long as they do not touch their land, anyone has the possibility to become their friend.

In the face of hidden problems, Earl Dekla doesn’t need to care. Marquis Borgasos and Princess Nine can’t. The former is the emperor’s envoy, and the latter has to shoulder the responsibility of the royal family. Therefore, they need to pay attention to and eliminate any unstable factors. The goal.

In any case, Currence's reception went smoothly, but the special envoy did not stay long, but went directly to the North City, the core of Hydera's territory.
