The questions raised by the Marquis of Youke made all the great nobles present at the meeting worry about it. www.vodtw.com
“Without the addition of settled adventurers, grassroots talents will become scarce.” An earl said distressedly, “but…what conditions should we use to attract adventurers?”
“The fief?” asked another earl.
“Impossible!” Another earl immediately denied, “Granting a fief is easy, but it is difficult to deprive it. Settled adventurers often only have one or two generations to use, and most of them have no outstanding performance since the third generation. How can they be granted fiefdom!”
“Yes, if it is a high-level adventurer, it’s not worth it. The mid-level adventurer is really not worth granting a fief.”
“But if there is no fief, the conditions we can give are no better than the merchants. We cannot give every mid-level adventurer a quasi-knight status. As for the low-level adventurers, they are more likely to have official status. Can’t give it…In contrast, the Merchant faction can at least give them hope of family inheritance.”
“What kind of **** family heritage! There is no fief, what kind of family? It’s just ridiculous!”
“But those middle-to-low-level adventurers don’t think so. For them, with a stable industry and a inherited family, this life is considered appropriate.”
“It’s damned! Can’t these guys be more pursued!”
“If you are more aspiring, you may go to the Northwest Republic.”
“…that country is too bad!”
After a lot of humiliation, everyone still failed to draw any good conclusions, nor did they draw any seemingly effective methods.
In the final analysis, the position of power of the nobles is really not binding for adventurers.
Of course, adventurers also respect the power of the nobles, but they are free. Even if they turn their faces, pat their buttocks and leave, can the nobles go to other noble territories to hunt them down?
Although on the whole, the nobles still have an advantage when facing adventurers, but when it comes to individuals, there are often nobles who are killed by the adventurers and then fail to catch the murderer.
Just look at the wanted lists of the Church of the God of Nobility and the Church of the God of Law, and you can find that this situation is really not uncommon.
Adventurers have courage, so-called holding a murder weapon and start to kill themselves. In the face of unfair treatment, the weak may swallow their anger, but the strong will often choose to be upright and fight for justice with their fists.
As a result of this kind of conflict, most adventurers suffer losses, but there are also many cases where nobles suffer. In the past five years alone, five or six barons and one viscount have died as a result of the entire main plane. As for the level of knights, there are more, the nobles are too lazy to count.
If a head-on conflict arises, a high-ranking adventurer can save his life and threaten an earl. As for those nobles who had died, it was only mid-level adventurers who killed them.
So I want to rely on the position of power to oppress the adventurers and force them to submit. This method really doesn’t work.
Since it cannot be threatened, naturally it can only be lured. But the nobles were reluctant to come up with enough benefits, and the temptation method also didn’t work.
Neither did this, nor did that. Of course, everyone had nothing to do in the end.
“Perhaps… after all, we must rely on war to solve the problem.” After a long silence, an earl said.
He is a member of the local aristocracy, and has always united with other local aristocrats to fight against the central aristocracy composed of two marquis and their vassals. Unlike the central aristocracy, the local aristocrats did not want to fight the merchant faction because they knew that if they fought a war, they would definitely lose more.
Not to mention, their territory is adjacent to the merchant’s territory.
Break it in your own home, smash some bottles and jars, that’s pretty sure.
However, in the face of the obvious crisis, he has no choice.
“I think we can wait.” The Marquis of Gordon said before the Marquis of Uk. “War is not a trivial matter. It only makes sense if you have to fight and win. So we must first prepare and ensure that Just win.”
“Facing those guys who can only recruit mercenaries, it’s hard to lose.” A count smiled and said, “Menciers can’t fight tough battles. They really fight hard. They will soon Will crash.”
“But that would cost a lot…” the other earl said worriedly.
“Don’t worry about loss at this time!” Earl House’s eyes flashed coldly, “If you agree, I’m willing to do it first!”
“Huh? Haven’t you made peace with them before? Do it now, okay.”
Earl House sneered: “Talking about peace, I’ve been preparing for war, and now I’m almost ready. If I fight, I have absolute certainty that I can gain an advantage.”
You nobles, look at me, and I look at you. They are all silent.
After a while, the Marquis of Gordon said: “Let’s wait a little longer, at least a few more people are ready… and then work together.”
“Okay, then you better hurry up.” Earl House said, “Opportunities wait for no one, and the merchants in the north are not fools. They can also think of things we can think of.”
The great nobles nodded one after another, and after the meeting, they each prepared to go.
When the Marquis of Uk returned home, he first went to the secret room hidden underground.
His eldest son is still imprisoned here today, unable to go out.
“Have you figured it out?” He didn’t enter the door, only asked from outside.
“I should ask you this.” A tired but firm answer came from the door~IndoMTL.com~Father, have you figured it out? “
“Even if a distinguished lady can surpass the golden crown, we will rule this country in the future. Why should we take such a big risk?” Marquis Yuk sighed, “If our family is just an earl, then I I don’t object to you taking a gamble, but our family is already at the top of the gold coin federation. Where else can we rise?”
“The King!” The tone of his best eldest son was a bit hot, “The kingship is the ultimate goal of the nobility!”
“It’s not that easy to be a king.” Marquis Yuk said, “First of all, we don’t have the power to overwhelm others.”
“My lord’s church can provide such power.”
“What’s the point of the kingship that is subordinate to theocracy?” The Marquis of Uk sneered and asked back.
“Mortals are subordinate to gods, and it was originally taken for granted. We all die, and our destiny after death is far more important than the glory of our lives.”
“It’s nothing more than a transaction. I didn’t think about who I had faith in in the past.” Marquis Yuk said flatly, “You can donate a large sum of money before you die, and most of the kingdoms of God can go. The destination after death. , It’s not a problem at all for us.”
“How can a place that is not suitable for you be called home?”
The Marquis of Uk sighed: “It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have let you be a pastor…”
“No, I want to thank you! If I didn’t believe in my lord, my life would have been lost.” His eldest son said with a smile, “Father, you have been lost for too long. It’s time to look back.”
The Marquis of Uk shook his head: “Think about it, I will see you tomorrow.”
He didn’t mean to continue arguing with his son. The dispute between faith and interests will not be fruitful.
