Chapter 616 The Environment Needed for Betrayal
The princes and ministers of Lordaeron not only have enemies like the Scourge in their eyes, but also all kinds of competitors.
From Stormgard to Falken, the neighboring country centered on Arathi, the origin of the human kingdom, has changed from a thug who depends on the Lordaeron Kingdom's rewards to live in one fell swoop. An upstart whose business spreads all over the world.
This is really very enviable. The country's development has such an efficiency, which is unprecedented.
As a result, it turns out that they not only develop rapidly, but also have not forgotten their roots, and are better at fighting than in the past.
With such a strong neighbor by his side, it is already full of pressure. Over the years, all the territories have gradually given birth to the saying that Falcon will make a fortune. Especially young people, there are not a few people who sneak away for this reason.
Such a loss of population naturally made the lords, big and small, very panic. If there is no one, then what a joke!
The lords even held several gatherings to discuss the solution, and the reckless ones went to Falken Kingdom to ask Zhao Jialin Trollbane to comment.
Naturally, this kind of person would not see Kane. There are dedicated reception staff who will run on them with words, and if they do more tricks, they will often be dismissed.
The lords gradually realized that Prince Garin was worthy of being called the spokesperson of the God of Wealth, and even the moves under his command were golden ideas, and some lords solved their problems and made a fortune because of this.
Ever since, not only the young people in the territory ran to Falken, but even the lords began to run there.
It is said to ask for ideas, study and study, but maybe it is really good there, and I don’t want to come back after I go there.
What a terrible situation this is. I would rather be a freeman over there than be a lord here.
If this kind of phenomenon is relatively rare after all, then it has become a trend among the nobles of various countries including the Kingdom of Lundane to send their heirs who are not heirs to study in Falken.
Generally speaking, people are profit-seeking, and there is no parent who does not want their offspring to be outstanding. Going to Falken to study is much more developed than sending him to the Illuminati sect to study as a priest.
Moreover, even if you really fancy the influence and future of the ever-growing Holy Light Faith, you should go to the Holy Temple, not the Church of Light. Now who doesn't know that whether it is hard power or teaching level, the Holy Palace is the best?
In the eyes of nobles from all over the world, the Kingdom of Falcon is like a wonderful flower that is already in bloom, and the beauty after blooming in the future will
I can only look up.
As the ruling class of the old powerful country Lordaeron, these great nobles felt the pressure from all aspects.
If it is Guotai Minan, then there are at least ten or eight years for them. Whether it is to adjust hard or to bear passively, in short, with the buffer of this period of time, they believe that they will be able to accept the fact that Falken has become the new leader of the countries, and they have also confirmed their new position.
But the house leak happened to rain all night, and natural disasters invaded.
Toss until now, intensified.
These nobles can clearly feel the decline of the country and the withering of the economy.
Many people are not interested in defending their country, but thinking about whether they can escape to a neighboring country and become its legal citizens.
After all, many of those who were attracted by Falcon's favorable recruitment conditions and went to work in the first place applied to become citizens of the Falcon Kingdom after paying a sum of money to the lord of their hometown.
In the past, a rogue ruffian could buy five hundred gold coins, and his lord would wake up laughing even if he was sleeping. But now, most of the lords feel uncomfortable, and some even play emotional cards to retain these people who used to work in Falken, and the promised rewards are also very generous.
What's more, there have been several cases where the daughters of lords fell in love with migrant workers and married them.
What does this mean?
Love is blind?
No, it means that if the Kingdom of Falken is a melting pot, then even scrap steel like ruffians have a chance to be smelted into good materials.
How many people are thinking: Even a scumbag like so-and-so can act like a dog when he goes to Falcon, wouldn't it be better if I go?
Therefore, most people from various countries have good impressions and fantasies about the Kingdom of Falcon.
Especially the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
Back then, Terenas thought it was really good. His negative equity had been cleared, and he could get the money back to make the people richer, which is a good thing.
Indeed, after two years, many people have returned to their hometowns.
As the saying goes, if you have money, you will be a man, and these people did bring wealth back. Most of them are no longer as jerks as they were before, and they have obviously made great progress in receiving people and things, giving people the feeling of "been to a big place, but it's different".
However, very few migrant workers stayed in their hometown to develop, but went to Falken again, and there were not a few who even encouraged their relatives and friends to go.
Only then did the rulers discover that Falcon had stolen people's hearts with his own economic vitality. My hometown is where my heart is at ease. When a person lives and works in a different place all year round, how much is his value to his hometown?
Therefore, regarding the rise of the Falcon Kingdom, Terenas and other dignitaries in the kingdom's ruling class have mixed feelings. This is not weakened because of several times of help from the Kingdom of Falken.
On the contrary, the more powerful the Falcon Kingdom is, the more unhappy and even hostile they feel.
This is the reason why all the nobles at the scene lost their voices and no one celebrated when they received the news of Uther's victory.
Even, according to the past analysis of history, betrayal and murder are also behaviors that breed under such a background.
Many people are filled with righteous indignation when they mention this kind of concept. How can there be such a pig who is inferior to a dog, repays kindness with revenge, and breaks promises. How can people become like this?
A little bit changed, a little forced.
This is not a big favor like hatred, but it also has a little bit of similarity.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. If the gap is too large, one side will look down on the other side, and the other side will look up, both feel awkward, but once they pretend to care in their hearts, then unintentional actions will become a display, and unintentional words will become irony. It's better to get together and get together, each to find a level of fun, it's better than losing face and friendship in the end.
But the problem now is that the old rich in Lordaeron can't get around the new rich in Falken, and they bow their heads and don't see them. This is uncomfortable.
Terenas and the others don't know if Trollbane and his son are suffering, but they are really suffering anyway.
They are also the best among them. They have had brilliance, arrogance, and self-confidence, but they are far behind when compared with others. This is really very, very uncomfortable.
What's even more uncomfortable is that others are taking off too much, and I am memorizing words. The gap is getting bigger and bigger, and even catching up has become impossible.
So, is there anything more self-respecting and uncomfortable than this?
Yes, right now, Terenas and the others knew in their hearts that if the Kingdom of Lordaeron wanted to pass the test smoothly this time, the reliance on the Kingdom of Falcon, or more precisely, the dependence on Solas and his sons, was unattainable.
Pride, even dignity, was thrown into the mud by myself and stepped on.
That's why it is said that this is the soil that breeds betrayals such as revenge.
It is simply that Terenas' rationality still has the upper hand. In addition, he can still see hope, or in other words, he is willing to believe that tomorrow will be better. So he didn't go astray.
It has to be said that in this regard, Falken Kingdom's support as always is also very important.
Try as Kane now makes an aerial draw on the grounds of home defense.
The Quel'Thalas elves, who originally withdrew from the alliance, but because of Kane, have participated in more and more alliance activities with restraint, will definitely escape.
Once the elves withdrew, the coalition forces' main support force for casting spells, as well as cannon fodder (a large number of metal puppets) were gone. Dalaran mages will definitely have a different heart.
Don't think that those people are well-educated, well-educated, and they are good people who put morality first.
How to say that sentence: righteousness does not kill many dogs, but heartbreakers often see scholars.
The dog-slayers refer to people with a good temper, who are emotional and righteous.
Scholars think more and think less, or see things too thoroughly, and are unwilling to take big risks, let alone risk their lives.
The mages of Dalaran came here after smelling some cooperation projects between the Kingdom of Falken and the elves of Quel'Thalas.
Not only the coalition forces in the Darrow region, Kane in the Shadowfang Fortress in Silverpine Forest, Dalaran mages, and even the Quel'Thalas elves, didn't they take the initiative to join them? Cutting-edge techniques, and there are a lot of practice sessions, such a good learning opportunity, you have to go there with a shy face.
Conversely, Lordaeron has been fighting for more than a year, and the battlefield is Lordaeron's own granary. Other regions have also been affected to a greater or lesser extent, with economic downturns and even high debts. How to treat the Mages of Dalaran? Not to mention attractive.
To be more specific, without the logistics of the Falken Kingdom’s engineering corps, letting people eat rye bread that can kill people, not to mention the Dalaran Mages, or the officers and soldiers of the country, it is estimated that they will not last for a few days. It is not for nothing that it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
That's why someone said: "The war in the Kingdom of Lordaeron is now supported by the Kingdom of Falcon."
Even for this one, Terenas and the others had nothing to say when they withdrew the Knights Templar.
Who doesn't know that the core of the Falken Kingdom is industry? Industry has driven agriculture, chemical fertilizers, agricultural machinery, transportation, etc., allowing agriculture to take off, and then there is a large amount of grain for animal husbandry.
In addition, the processing of agricultural and animal husbandry products is also inseparable from industrial equipment. It can be said that the rich daily necessities in the markets of various countries are basically supported by the industrial operations of the Falken Kingdom.
Protecting this system is tantamount to protecting the lifeline and foundation of the alliance. This is definitely not an exaggeration.
If Kane uses this as an excuse to evacuate people and things, for the Kingdom of Lordaeron, it is really a ladder in the sky.
If the natural disasters take advantage of their illness to kill them, one can imagine how likely the nobles of Lordaeron will be bewitched by the fearful demon king when they are in despair.
In fact, Kane knew early on that those with vested interests could do anything bad for themselves, so after the natural disaster, he dispatched a volunteer army to detour to the north.
This kind of behavior, which is clearly protecting the flank of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, is actually suspected of being exclusive, or even taking advantage of the situation, will certainly be criticized by some people, and even damage his reputation. Accused by some people of coveting the territory of other countries, eating Hillsbrad Hills and wanting to swallow Silverpine Forest.
But on the other hand, it gave the people of Lordaeron hope and confidence.
A strong army is by my side, and the general trend is with me. I can still hold it down, I can still play...
With such an idea, Lordaeron's dignitaries will not easily betray. After all, there are not many people who would rather be a dog than a master. ()
