Western Territory, Morning Star City.

In the hall of the temporary city lord's mansion.

"What did you say? The Maple Leaf Territory has been completely recovered by the elves?"

The Duke of Belencia looked at the clerk who reported the news with an expression of astonishment.

"Yes...yes, Your Majesty the Duke."

The clerk answered cautiously.

The Duke of Belencia took a breath, unable to conceal the shock and confusion in his eyes.

"One month... No, it's less than a month, right? How could they do it?"

"My Lord Duke, it is said that they have a floating fortress that can fly in the air. Several fortified cities were captured in this way, and... and... it is said that the **** of dusk and sunset also fell into the hands of the goddess of life. ”

"The goddess of life took action? The evil **** fell?"

The Duke of Belencia was slightly startled.

"Yes, according to the intelligence, all the idols worshiped by the cultists have cracked on their own."

The clerk replied respectfully.

The Duke opened his mouth, as if he was not ready to accept the news.

It wasn’t until he was silent for a moment that he said to himself with difficulty:

"Isn't it said that he is an evil **** who is so powerful that even gods are afraid of him? How...how could he be defeated so quickly?"

The clerk did not answer the question.

To be honest...this is no longer something that an existence at his level can investigate clearly.

Of course, the Duke of Belencia did not expect the clerk to answer. He just couldn't calm down the shock in his heart.

He raised the crystal glass to take a sip of wine, but found that the wine in the glass had been finished at some point.

However, when he raised his head, he found that the affairs officer standing in front of him was hesitant to speak.

The Duke's heart skipped a beat.

He glanced at the affairs officer, his expression getting worse and worse:

"Any other bad news?"

The clerk's Adam's apple rolled, but... because he was too fat, and his thick neck full of fat could not be seen at all.

"My lord...the Duke, the Maple Leaf Territory...the Maple Leaf Territory announced its independence from the empire..."

He stammered.

With a soft "click" sound, the precious crystal wine glass in the Duke of Belencia's hand shattered into pieces, making Count Meese's eyes twitch and feel a burst of pain.

"Say it again? What happened to the Maple Leaf Collar?"

The Duke of Belencia narrowed his eyes and looked at the clerk who reported the news with a gloomy and dangerous expression.

The temperature in the entire hall seemed to have dropped a bit because of his gloom.

The fat clerk wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then stammered in reply:

"My lord...Duke, Sophia, the heir to the Wells family, declared the Maple Leaf Territory independent. Not only that, she also abolished the entire Maple Leaf Territory's aristocratic titles and hereditary nobility system, and renamed it the Maple Moon Free Territory..."

As he spoke, he took out a crumpled booklet from his arms:

"This is their propaganda manuscript..."

The Duke of Belencia snatched it away and squinted his eyes to read it. However, as he read, his expression became more and more ugly.

After reading the entire manuscript, he threw it to the ground.

"Maple Moon Free Territory? Do you want to abolish the nobility? Is she going to be an enemy of the entire empire?! It's just a territorial district!"

He almost laughed in anger.

The Holy Mania Empire does not have free territories, but they are all separate cities, also known as free cities.

The free cities are not under the jurisdiction of the central empire or the local nobles, but are highly autonomous. However, even so, they dare not say anything about abolishing the aristocratic system.

"My lord...not only that...they have declared an alliance with the Forest of Elves, and have also accepted the Church of Life as the official church."

The steward said cautiously.

"Forest of Elves?"

The Duke of Belencia was startled for a moment, then became furious:

"How dare these **** long ears reach out to the empire's territory! Do they want to trigger a war of faith?!"

When Legend was angry, everyone in the hall felt an overwhelming sense of oppression, and even the magic lamps lit in the hall flickered vaguely.

After noticing the pale faces and trembling bodies of the others, the Duke of Belencia barely suppressed the anger in his heart and put away the pressure on him.

However, when he looked at the manuscript that was thrown on the ground, his expression became increasingly ugly.

He never expected that the border uncle who had defeated the Imperial Crusade Army would be defeated so quickly!

Even though there are gods competing in front, this speed is too exaggerated.

The Elf Kingdom could still persist for hundreds of years after the fall of the World Tree!

And he even asked the Maple Leaf Territory to declare independence and abolish the aristocratic system!

If this matter reaches the imperial capital, I don’t know how many insidious villains will attack him in the parliament.

After all, it is his Belencia family that is dealing with the Maple Leaf Collar issue now!

When he thought about the impact of the Maple Leaf Collar news, the Duke of Belencia felt a headache.

Looking at the Duke who was rubbing his temples, Count Meath hesitated and said:

"Your Majesty Duke, it is better for the elves to intervene than for the evil **** to control the territory. I think we need to handle the Maple Leaf Territory matter carefully..."

"My lord, the area around Augus City has also been merged into the Maple Moon Free Territory."

Looking at the unhurried expression of Earl Meath, the affairs officer of the Duke of Belencia reminded him in a low voice.

Earl Meath:......

His expression changed and he quickly changed his words:

"Your Majesty Duke! We cannot let the lost land fall into the hands of the elves! The Maple Moon Territory... must be the puppet of the elves. Maple Leaf City was once the capital of the elves! This must be the revenge of the elves!"

"Your Majesty the Duke, we must send troops quickly to regain the territory before the Maple Leaf Territory has completely settled down!"

Earl Meath's expression was so anxious that the Duke of Belencia was speechless for a while.

He sighed and said:

"Your Excellency, Earl, do you think we can win against the Elf Legion that can easily destroy the Red Maple Army?"

Earl Meath was speechless for a moment.

"But isn't this a declaration of war? The elves dare to stand up for the Maple Leaf Territory's rebellion. As you said, isn't this trying to provoke a war of faith?!"

Earl Meath insisted.

The Western Territory is not rich at first, but the land near Augus City is fertile and the terrain is dangerous. If it is really gone, it will be like cutting off his flesh.

The Duke of Belencia was noncommittal, but his slightly clenched fist showed that he was in a very bad mood at this moment.

After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Report this matter to Parliament and ask Parliament to make a decision."

"Your Majesty the Duke!"

"Stop talking! Your Excellency, this is no longer just a problem for the Maple Leaf Territory, but a problem between the Church of Life and the Eternal Church, the elves and our empire! If you want to solve it, you can only rely on the cooperation between the empire and the church. Put pressure on the elves to return to the Elf Forest and promise not to participate again!"

Berencia blocked Count Meath's persuasion.

As he spoke, he looked south again and sneered:

"Abolish the nobility? Equality and harmony? Haha... Without the powerful power of the nobility, without the rich knowledge mastered by the nobility, without the municipal bureaucrats loyal to the nobility, a group of ignorant commoners also want to rule the Maple Leaf Territory? ”

"That's ridiculous!"

……

The players did not know about the ripples caused by the Maple Moon Reform in the northern and western territories, nor did they know that as the news spread further to the entire Holy Mania Empire and the Kingdom of Iris in the south, two human kingdoms What an impact it had...

Only some players who often trade with human chambers of commerce have heard about it. It seems that Maple Moon's reform has made a breakthrough in the human world.

However, most people don't pay too much attention.

Although today, players have been trained to experience and play games in the world of Segas more and more as a real world, but in fact, unless some plots are closely related to them, otherwise , most people are too lazy to care.

No matter how much trouble Maple Moon Free Territory caused in the human world, as long as humans did not openly send out troops, few players would pay special attention or worry.

On the contrary, Maple Moon Leader has strengthened its defense against the north.

Of course, most of the defensive soldiers at this moment are humans.

Most of the players have already evacuated with the end of the mission, or returned to the Elf Forest to find other dungeons to spawn monsters, or to explore the underground world.

Yes, the underworld.

When the Maple Leaf Territory map is opened, the corresponding underground world area is naturally open to players. Harassing the underground world and taking advantage of the chaotic dark kingdom is also one of the players' interests.

However, this does not mean that there are no players in Maple Leaf Territory. In fact, there are still many players staying in the entire territory, because the construction of Maple Moon Free Territory still cannot do without the support of players.

Players are involved in preaching faith, encircling and suppressing bandits, repairing city walls, restoring production, opening schools, etc.

Of course, there is a reward.

In addition, although Maple Moon's reform abolished the aristocratic system and built a new framework from top to bottom, it was only just beginning.

If you really want to run the entire territory well, you still need to continue to explore and improve.

It is also unrealistic to rigidly move some of Blue Star's systems to the Segas world, and the specific local conditions need to be taken into consideration.

These things, if only the illiterate poor rely on them, will naturally cause chaos.

But the good thing is that on the one hand, there are interested players who can offer suggestions, and on the other hand, there are also well-educated people among the human civilians.

This is the biggest difference between the world of Sagas and the medieval era of Blue Star.

In the medieval world of Blue Star, nobles controlled knowledge, retainers loyal to the nobles directly managed the territory, and most civilians were ignorant.

If the common people don't wake up, the rule of the nobles will be unbreakable.

In the Segas world, the spread of knowledge is far more profound than that of Blue Star. The core advantage of the nobles is actually extraordinary power and extraordinary knowledge.

In the final analysis, extraordinary power and extraordinary knowledge are just tools to maintain violent rule.

At least in the world of Segas, supernatural power is far from becoming a means to develop productivity.

In this world, nobles are more like a protective umbrella, protecting weak ordinary people.

However, as time goes by, no one can tell whether it is more protective or more oppressive.

But now, without the power of the nobles, there are still Life Church, players, and extraordinary beings trained by the future territory themselves who can shoulder heavy responsibilities.

They can also serve as indispensable extraordinary forces.

From this perspective, the entire territory can function normally without nobles, as long as it has strong power as a backing.

As for whether the new extraordinary beings will gradually form a new class over time, or whether they will be nobles in another sense, that is a matter for the future.

And these things are not Eve’s thing to worry about.

In the final analysis, abolishing the nobility is just a way for Him. After all, the human nobility in the world of Sagas is too deeply bound to the Eternal Church or other churches of human gods...

Throughout thousands of years of development, although there have been constant frictions between the nobility and the church, overall they are dependent on each other.

Without getting rid of them, it will be difficult for Eve to leverage the faith of the entire human society.

Equality?

It’s just a slogan.

At least for Eve.

But having a slogan and pursuit is at least better than nothing.

Just like Kuafu chasing the sun, maybe you can never really catch up with the sun, but in your continuous efforts, when you look back and look behind you, you will find that you have gone very far, at least compared to not working hard. Much stronger.

And if one day the dragon slayer becomes a dragon...

Well, to put it to the extreme, if this evil dragon is good for Eve, he wouldn't mind turning a blind eye.

In the final analysis, His ultimate goal is to strengthen himself, not to bring changes to the world of Segas.

He is not a savior.

Although there are already some life believers in the human world bragging like this...

Concerning the matter of Maple Moon Territory, the noble council of the Holy Mania Empire discussed it for three days and three nights.

As always, no results were discussed.

What’s interesting is that this time the reaction of the nobles was much more intense than during the Border Count rebellion, while the Eternal Church was relatively calm.

In fact, it is understandable that this reform has truly touched the foundation of the nobility.

However, no matter how they quarrel or argue, no one in the entire Holy Mania Empire thinks that this is the time to go head-to-head with the elves and the Maple Moon Territory...

The Red Maple Kingdom was destroyed in less than a month, which really scared the nobles.

But to the church, it is just a parish with a population of five million.

If there is really a war with the elves at this moment, and the war continues, coupled with the evil forces that are ready to move around, it will not be a matter of a mere five million people.

Only the real senior leaders of the church know that the most important thing in the church now is actually the war between gods and demons in half a year.

In the end, the Imperial Council and the Eternal Church simply sent representatives to the Maple Moon Territory to condemn them.

Even the Imperial Crusade has disbanded its levy, recalled its marshal, the Duke of Belencia, and only stationed the Second Guards Corps in the Western Territory.

Eve knows, however, that this is not because the other party is really afraid of the players and the Maple Moon Leader.

They are just waiting for the Segas world to be completely unblocked in three years.

In the world of Segas, the battles between various races are ultimately the battles between gods.

This is the game of true gods and the sorrow of mortals.
