In the distant capital of the Dambreth Kingdom, Kesir, the current king of the kingdom, Lethamon, sat solemnly on the throne, listening to the speeches of his subordinates.
Wright Harmon has a medium build, a serious appearance, very sharp blue eyes, and a majestic and steady demeanor. He is in the prime age of a man in his fifties.
At this time, Lighthamon, who had ruled the Kingdom of Dambreth for nearly twenty years, was energetic and in good health. Lighthamon, who had established the prestige of the king in the past, was not satisfied that he was just a king with limited power. He decided to restore the full power of his ancestors to rule the kingdom. Glory, ending the kingdom's feudal system, suppressing the unruly nobles, working hard to weaken the influence of the great nobles, reclaiming the land of the nobles, and improving the king's power and prestige. He wants the king's power to exceed that of the noble council and become Dambreth A great monarch who can be ranked high in history.
"Your Majesty the King, in the southern continent of the kingdom, the Duke Brant family and the Baron Elant family have started a war. The current Baron Yi Liuyun of Elant accused the Duke of Brant of murdering his father, and resolutely recruited an army of more than 5,000 people to lead a fleet to attack Brant. Deepwater City, a subordinate fiefdom of the Special family."
"Baron Bratt, a member of the Brandt family of Waterdeep City, was defeated by Baron Elant. Now he is returning to his small fiefdom. He used the reputation of his family to summon the surrounding nobles. Many nobles in the eastern region of the southern continent participated in this Duke Brant also supports this battlefield, and I heard that he has sent his capable subordinates and thousands of troops from Senwen fiefdom in the south to participate in this war."
"Wait a minute, Duke Brant doesn't trust his brother so much that even one of the frontier troops fighting the rebellion in the southern mountains was transferred to Waterdeep City. It seems to me that these two brothers are really at odds with each other!" Wright King Harmon raised his hand to comment.
"Yes, Your Majesty the King!" Plantu, the prime minister of the palace, bent slightly and said seriously.
"The old Duke Brant was very fond of his youngest son Bratt. Affected by the rules of the aristocracy, he could not pass the title to Bratt. However, before his death, he assigned the Brant family one of the fiefdoms directly under his family, and the land was fertile. , the peaceful, prosperous and prosperous Waterdeep City and a large area of ??land around it were granted to his youngest son."
"The deep-water port is located in a concave position facing the east in the southern continent. This is an excellent deep-water port. On weekdays, there is little passenger traffic. However, once there are typhoons, tsunamis, winter, autumn and other off-seasons, fishing boats and merchant ships come to dock here. Rest, then it will definitely become prosperous, and it will be a good and comfortable location. Therefore, although Baron Brant disliked his brother for more than ten years, he did not have enough interface and motivation to take back his brother's territory, but it is different now. He has found an interface. The Duke of Brant will definitely take back his brother's territory."
"Well! I see, what kind of person is this Baron Bratt?" Wright Harmon asked with interest.
Plantu frowned and said with disdain: "This Baron Brat is in his thirties, fat and timid. He eats, drinks, has fun, sings and gambles, and is very good at hosting banquets. However, once he encounters important things, he will not make decisions." Not decisive and perseverant enough, he is a typical corrupt aristocrat."
"Very good!" Lethamon clapped his hands happily and walked down from the throne, pacing back and forth and said: "This Baron Bratt has the direct bloodline of Duke Brant. He is uneducated and has no skills. He is definitely timid and afraid of getting into trouble. We can use the target and send someone to contact him immediately. We will definitely support him against his brother."
Lighthamon raised his head and looked out the window, and said melancholy: "Plantu! There are too few fiefdoms and direct nobles of the royal family. In the southern continent of the kingdom, in that large area, not a single piece of land belongs to our royal family. I have to do something for my descendants.¡±
"Yeah!" Plantu looked at the worried king, nodded sympathetically, and continued.
"Baron Yiliu Yun of Elant is definitely an excellent general. This man used to be ordinary. Less than a month after he took over the title of baron from his father, the main castle was broken into by Duke Brant's expeditionary army, and he headed towards in embarrassment. Forward to the next stronghold city, Haisha City."
"Here, Baron New Elantra, who fell to the ground while riding a horse and injured his head, suddenly had an idea. He used the power of thunder to kill his traitorous uncle, and in a hurry he recruited citizens, militiamen, and mercenaries to form a 1,000-man army. An army of many people successfully defeated the same number of enemies through reasonable tactical deployment."
"From then on, Yi Liuyun, the heir to the Elante family, seemed to have changed half of his person. He quickly reformed everything, developed the army, trained soldiers, and fought against pirates. He recruited nearly 5,000 troops on more than 600 kilometers of land, and then used These troops fought against pirates, attacked the Brant family's eastern fleet, and attacked Waterdeep City. They performed very bravely and very powerfully!"
"Oh! The Elante family is from the east of the southern continent of the kingdom.An archipelago? I heard that the land there is very fertile and suitable for growing crops, and there are many fishery resources near the sea. Among the barons, the Elante family is definitely a rich man. "King Lighthamon said looking at the underground map of the kingdom with great interest.
"Well! The total area of ??the Elante Islands, including the surrounding islands, is definitely more than 800 ordinary kilometers. According to the rules of the kingdom, it is the territory of at least one viscount. Unfortunately, his family is a descendant of the Huangshi people from the ancient east. I can only force them to become a baron." Plantu nodded and commented.
Wrighthamon nodded appreciatively and said: "Speaking of which, this boy is very courageous. He actually recruited an army of 5,000 people to attack the Brant family. You must know that 5,000 people are the strength of a legion on our frontier."
"Yes! It can't help but be true. He heard that he also formed a navy with more than 100 warships. It has won victories against pirates and Brant's Eastern Fleet. It is very powerful."
"Well! This little baron is worth winning over. The Brant family has too many vassals and territories in the Southern Continent, too many. We must prevent it from continuing to grow. The more chaotic the Southern Continent, the better, and the more chaotic the better, Only when the chaos becomes more severe will our royal family have the opportunity to acquire the land and influence in the south."
Lethamon walked back and forth and said: "Building such a powerful army, even if it is composed entirely of farmers and fishermen, will consume huge resources. Baron Elant must not be able to hold on for long before he decides to attack Duke Brant's stronghold in the southern continent. , use war to support war, and avenge the Brant family. In this matter, when necessary, whether it is diplomatically or materially, we must support the Elant family, and at the same time restrain the nobles and officials directly under the royal family from doing things secretly, and at the same time As a nobleman who is an enemy of the Brant family, you send someone to tell Baron Elantra that the weapons and food he needs can be obtained at low prices from the north. We will never block sea shipping transportation from various places. If next, Baron Elantra will Revenge has failed, then we must keep the chess piece Dongfang, and we must not let Brandt¡¯s people land on the Elante Islands and occupy this place.¡±
"yes!"
Plantu nodded in agreement, raised his hand with a slight hesitation and said, "It's just that there are some things that I have to tell His Majesty."
"Say it!" Wright Harmon said, staring into Plantu's eyes.
Plantu gritted his teeth and said seriously: "This kid Yi Liuyun, after his head hit the ground and was thrown, he kept saying some strange words. He said that he wanted to build a society where everyone is equal, fair, just, harmonious, and friendly. .¡±
"Not only did he say this, he also did it. He lowered the taxes in the territory and fixed them at one tax per ten. He dissolved all manors and villages and gave everyone free status. He dissolved the slaves and regulated the territory. No slaves were allowed to exist above, and all slaves must be released unconditionally. Some slave merchants' slaves were forcibly purchased by him, and slaves and servants were freed. In addition, he also opened granaries and built Jimin canteens to provide money to people without money and downtrodden passers-by. Free bread and porridge, he also sheltered all the refugees, prisoners, and slaves who fled to his territory. He also opened forests, mountains, oceans and other natural resources to the people of the territory without taxing"
"What?" Wright Harmon opened his mouth in surprise, looked at Plantu in disbelief, and said with a smile: "Plantu, my distant cousin, you didn't lie to me! How can there be such a fool in this world? people."
Plantu looked at the king seriously and said seriously: "Your Majesty, everything I said is true. I didn't believe it at first. Later, all the intelligence and observations said so, it must be true."
"Really?" Lighthamon looked stunned, and said while pacing back and forth with a wild face: "If it is true, then Dambreth Kingdom, including the entire world, will not be able to tolerate him. Young man? You can be forgiven for being impulsive. But no one can forgive this stupid behavior. Send someone to write a letter asking him to stop his current stupid behavior. Otherwise, even if I am the king, I will not tolerate my nobles coming to destroy society. Order, if the noble council knows about what he did, then I can¡¯t stop this group of people from uniting to attack the Elante Islands!¡±
"Hey! A chess piece that can shake the order of the entire kingdom finally appeared. I am really unwilling to disappear!" Lighthamon sighed with a complicated expression.
"Well! I will try my best to write a letter to dissuade this boy from these bad behaviors. If he wants to arouse the hatred of the nobles, then at least he will have to wait until he breaks the order of the Southern Continent and makes the Southern Continent full of fireworks. When we have an interface to send troops, he It's not too late to seek death and arouse the hatred of all the nobles!" Plantu said wisely.
"Well! You go down! You must control the situation. I am over 50 years old. I really don't want to wait too much time. I must do it at the end of my life."Now, do something for my royal family. "Lite Harmon sighed with his hands behind his back and looking at the sky.
