Chapter 525: Matchmaking From Lingxi

"Damn, bullying the honest people, right?"

The players are not the kind of people who are willing to suffer losses, especially when they are clearly doing good things.

Moreover, the Northeastern noble group seems to be standing up for the younger brothers in the West with the consciousness of a big brother, but in fact they want to take advantage of the situation to hit someone.

The reputation of the pioneers in Huiguang has taken a sharp turn for the worse. Although it still cannot shake their base in the south and even the capital, the support they have finally won in the Northeast has been vomited back.

There is no way. When people live in the world, the most important thing is human relations and worldly affairs. Not every noble can have the courage of "I am a barbarian" like Eleanor.

Moreover, compared with their noble colleagues who have been married for generations and know each other well, the pioneers who have just arrived and are always noisy are indeed "too untrustworthy".

But if the accusation of the Western nobles is to hand a knife to the Northeastern nobles, then the oppression of the Northeastern nobles has also given the pioneers a reason?

"Damn, bullying the honest people, right?"

The players are not willing to suffer losses, especially when they are clearly doing good things.

Now that the fists are hitting them, the major guilds and even the officials of various countries can no longer sit idly by and immediately use all their means to start operations.

And with the enemy at hand, no matter how many insects there are in the Radiance, not every noble is busy fighting among themselves.

Even if the Duke of Xiguang guarding the front line is very busy, the Duke of Arclight and the Sun King are still watching them in the capital.

Seeing that the pioneers are resentful and Lord Xi is struggling to support, Anton VI slapped his thigh and simply wrote a "Proposal" signed by all the nobles of the capital.

What else can it be a proposal? Naturally, it is to propose that all the knowledgeable people and passionate young people in the Radiance unite to share your worries.

"Fuck."

Xia Guang and Li Guang's eyes went straight when they saw this thing, and they looked at each other as if to say, "Your Majesty is also colluding with the thieves?"

But as the actual leaders of the Northeastern noble group, how could they allow the pioneers to be so easily protected by the king's order and easily swallow up the Western Territory?

Immediately, they dug out a case from the thick history of the kingdom, which was as thick as a door panel, and used the "right to warn the world" that their family had obtained since the establishment of the country to jointly write a letter to accuse the king of the wrong order at no cost.

"Your Majesty, Queen Bella once had an ancestral precept that only the nobles of the kingdom can fight in our shining land, and those who are not are all rebels, you see..."

Why Anton's ancestor had such an order is no longer known, but what is certain is that the situation must be different from today.

So in theory, the Sun King can use this reason to directly refute and fight back their ill intentions.

But Huiguang follows customary law. There are cases and cases. If there are no cases, the case is the case. Therefore, the ancestral law is really hard to change.

In this way, if the pioneers want to fight in Huiguang territory, in addition to the king's order, they must also have the endorsement of the nobles, otherwise it is rebellion!

What?

You want to know why they didn't bring out this ancestral precept during the battle of Luoshen Mountain?

Isn't this nonsense? At that time, the fire could really burn on their heads. This... Is this not double standard? Double standard guaranteed!

So the players were ready to go to the West to severely suppress the bandits, and they blushed when they heard the news.

"Is this a human being?"

But there is no way, the rules are the rules, and they can only quickly find the nobles they know to handle the free employment procedures and go to the battlefield as their mercenaries.

But unfortunately, the two dukes had guessed their response before they took action. How could they let them bypass the sanctions so easily?

I don't know how many benefits were promised, but the anti-pioneer forces in Gyeonggi and the south, which had been dormant, actually rose up at a critical moment, and a large number of nobles turned against them on the spot.

Although they were still afraid of death and dared not confiscate the pioneers' property openly, they still dared to stab them in the back and disgust them.

At least in the matter of hiring, they were determined to go against the players.

"What hiring? What the hell, there is no such thing!"

"Okay, so you play it this way, right? You wait for me!"

Fortunately, the players maintained restraint at the critical moment and did not fall for the provocation of the two dukes quietly. They used violence to solve the problem, making the already passive situation more complicated.

And although the two dukes were powerful, this glory was by no means their one-man show. At the critical moment, the money bag faction and the sword and shield faction broke out with strong subjective initiative and called on a large number of nobles to take the initiative to hire pioneers.

The players' long-term efforts finally bore fruit. A group of southern nobles, led by Duke Jueqiao, clearly realized the shamelessness of the northeastern nobles and did not eat the cake they promised, but chose to support their pioneer allies.

As for Eleanor...

"Haha, everyone has talked so much. I just fainted from signing the contract and just woke up."

Faced with this situation, Xiaguang and Liguang wanted to continue to make trouble, such as requiring a limit on the number of mercenaries under each noble.

But there is no game in this world where only one side can play cards, so before they made a move, Xiguang and Duke Huguang also jointly wrote a letter.

What they wanted to express was very simple, just one word: "Pioneer, Haoren!"

And the Sun King had obviously checked the script with them a long time ago, and immediately wrote a letter of praise.

Praise - The country is in trouble, and the pioneers actually gathered in response at the first time to share the worries of the king. I am very relieved!

After expressing the core idea of ​​"no traitors, all loyal ministers" in detail, he also promised that when the pioneers returned triumphantly, he would personally confer a group of new nobles.

Xia Guang and Li Guang had no choice but to call back the messenger they had sent out, which was considered to be admitting defeat in front of the king.

At this point, the dust settled, and the quarrel between the two sides seemed to end here.

But the impact of this incident is far more than that. After all, is there any better reason for unity in the world than foreign war and defense against enemies?

Since everyone is no longer pretending, the drums are all exposed, and a new line has emerged.

The original money bag faction and sword and shield faction united, and together with some southern nobles headed by the Duke of Jueqiao, formed a unified interest group, referred to as "Royal Capital".

The two dukes Xia Guang and Li Guang, who had made their debut at the previous dinner party, and whose followers were all over the world, officially became the leaders of the "opposition" interest groups.

Since then, the power division of the upper echelons of the Glorious has entered a new era.

Of course, this is a nice way of saying it. In an unpleasant way of saying it, the former is a "firm royalist", and what the latter is... I don't need to say more.

And the masters' battle in the air is over, and the actual fighting has just begun.

Although it is definitely not as exaggerated as the last battle of Luoshen Mountain, the players who are holding their breath still gathered tens of thousands of troops to rush to the battlefield in the West, ready to support the Glorious army while clearing out the bandits.

"Ah, this."

And when there are more than ten thousand people, the earth is connected to the sky. Facing the pioneers rushing into the West from all sides, the local nobles are directly scared.

But they came with the king's order, and they dared not say anything. They could only close the door tightly and dared not let in a single pioneer. The bandits who had just gained the upper hand and hadn't even touched the champagne bottle were in a miserable state. They were chased by the players and had no way to escape.

"They are all crazy, they are all crazy!"

"Boss, think of a way quickly, I really can't run anymore!"

"I...way? No way! Do you think I'm the king of ideas in the West? Wait for death!"

Facing the full-scale liquidation of the players, they didn't even have room for resistance. They were all executed on the spot, and there was not even a trace of them left.

With the help of this group of truly fearless warriors, Lord Xi finally had the spare energy to gather the army and fight back.

The momentum brought by the counterattack of thousands of armored cavalry led by level 70 masters out of the city was extremely terrifying. For a time, even the experienced Deep Forest Border Army felt a little frightened.

Although Lord Xi still failed to break through the army of the Deep Forest Border Army in the end, and his own losses were quite large, this may be the first time that the Glowing People have swung their swords at the Deep Forest People since Marquis Changge committed suicide in the Sun Palace.

No matter how high the price is, it is enough to boost people's morale!

And although everyone knows who they are and who is related to their interests.

But at least in name, this group of Deep Forest Border Army is just "bandits who do not obey the king's orders on the Deep Forest border", so the Deep Forest People cannot drastically reinforce them.

Moreover, gambling requires capital, but the Deep Forest People want to do a business without cost. If they really invest a lot of money, they will lose!

In short, after half a month of fighting, this "Summer Plunder" that no one expected to go the way of ended.

Although the price was a lose-lose situation, the Deep Forest failed to steal the chicken and lost the rice. Not only did they send away the bandit group that they used quite well, but the border army also suffered some losses, and the income was greatly reduced. It was completely out of income and lost money!

Several villages and towns of Glow were plundered and slaughtered, and the regular army also suffered heavy losses. The current specific figures are difficult to estimate, not to mention the subsequent relief and reconstruction work, which also lost money!

But in the past, the Deep Forest people made a lot of money, and the Glow people lost a lot. Now both sides lost money. It goes without saying who won!

So the Sun King was naturally very happy. He hosted a large number of nobles and pioneer representatives in the Sun Castle and began to praise the pioneers in front of everyone.

And didn’t the opposition say that the pioneers were outsiders, not of our kind, and their hearts must be different. Everyone must exclude them?

Haha, it won’t be spicy in the future!

Because after the banquet, he directly asked the Duke of Arc Light to read out his rewards, and conferred one earl, three viscounts, and eight barons in one breath, and there were countless virtual titles such as knights.

Although most of the fiefs are located in the southern part of the kingdom, it is considered to be a fief of others to others, and the land area is very small and barren.

But the king's order is the king's order, and the pioneers just held their heads high and naturally integrated into the power circle of Huiguang, and would never be separated from them again.

And good things come in pairs. When the players were celebrating their victory and joking that "Huiguang" would be the largest country on Earth in the future because everyone was considered a Huiguang person, a very large trade fleet cut through the waves and came to the White Eagle Port, which had basically been built, braving the summer hurricane.

"My dear friends in the tower, your loyal Lingxi friend James is here to see you!"

They were naturally the Lingxi people who came to the Wild Plains by mistake last time.

After buying various local specialty products from the players, they immediately returned to Lingxi to sell them.

The result was naturally that things were rare and expensive, and the prices of these novelties from the Wild Plains kept rising, allowing each of them to make a lot of money.

Especially the firearms, this kind of exquisite mechanical creation even made the king's dwarf master craftsman astonished, and instigated the king to spend a huge price to buy them all.

The Golden King: "What do you want me to pay for... Shit!"

This time it was not just a sky-high transaction. The Golden King called all the senior executives of the fleet, including Professor James, to the palace.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"

The Golden King did not speak, but took out a black card blessed by the goddess of wealth, which was similar to a bank card, and threw it directly over.

So.

The king invested, the duke invested.

The duke invested, the crown prince invested.

The crown prince invested, and everyone invested.

With this overwhelming wealth, the commander of the fleet was so excited that he almost flew up, and immediately began to organize a new voyage.

Merchant ship?

Buy, buy a big one, otherwise the gold coins are not enough!

Frigate?

Rent, rent a ship with more guns, otherwise the gold coins can't protect it!

Guard?

Hire, hire strong people, otherwise the gold coins will not be pulled out!

Money is attractive, and no rhetoric can compare to dazzling gold, so he quickly organized an unprecedented trade fleet.

And only three months after leaving the Savage Plains, he returned to this land that seemed to flow with milk and honey with a larger trade order.

But since this voyage involved many nobles including the Golden King, it could not be as simple as it seemed.

In fact, when this caravan was still being organized, another team of faster boats had already set out from the capital and quickly headed for the Garkuo grassland in the north of the Deep Forest.

But in seven days, while receiving the materials he ordered, the Bemos Khan Xili Dege also received a secret letter from the Golden King.

[Friend, I still remember my original promise. I think I have found a potential ally for you, but the situation is still unclear. Please wait patiently for my good news]

After learning about the many changes that have taken place in the Glorious within the past month, especially the conflict between the Pioneers and the Deep Foresters in the Western Territory, which has formed a deep grudge.

When the trade fleet had already set off, the second secret letter from the Golden King also reached the hands of Xilidger.

[Friend, do you remember the potential allies I told you about before? I think they can be]
