Chapter 501 Someone Is Going to Fight to the Bitter End

What Amber said was not nonsense.

He naturally knew the plans of those veteran nobles. When he was doing the Star Dragon Empire's quest line in the game, he often came into contact with these guys from the 'Old Saint-Saunière Zhengxing Dragon Banner' in the side quests.

Contact in all senses, friendly, unfriendly, verbal, physical

So Amber knew very well what kind of virtues these old noble groups were, and he had to admit that there were indeed some real 'good nobles' among these nobles.

They are loyal to the emperor and patriotic. They concentrate on running their territory on weekdays. They do not pay so many excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but vigorously develop various special industries. The people in the territory live a worry-free life under their rule, and they also love them very much. .

And when the royal family needed their help, these people would not hesitate to take the family's private soldiers all the way to Saint-Saunière to 'serve the king'.

But except for this small group of people who can truly bear the title of 'noble', the other established nobles of the Star Dragon Empire are more 'personified' than the other.

You can easily find all the "evil deeds of nobles" that you can imagine and never think of in this group of people, and most of them have accomplished multiple "evil deeds" at the same time.

According to Amber, when Dong Zhuo, Bloody Mary, and Elizabeth Bathory met the old nobles of the Star Dragon Empire, they had to scrape a layer of 'oil and water' off their bodies to pay tribute.

The only people who can sit at the same table with them are the chief executives of the planets in the Federation or the top officials of the autonomous government.

If Amber had to describe the moral level or crimes of these people, it would be that if you put these people together, you can shoot with your eyes closed without worrying about killing an innocent person.

Although Lilith didn't know why Amber was so familiar with the 'deeds' of these veteran nobles of the Star Dragon Empire, since Amber said so, she would choose to believe it without hesitation.

However, she still asked curiously: "If you go by what the Master said, wouldn't Norton II be in a very dangerous situation now? Not to mention whether he can realize what he wants in his heart, if Her Royal Highness Agnes formally inherits the throne No, he may not even be able to keep his title of 'Prince Regent'."

"You are right. The current situation for Norton II is very dangerous. It can be said that it has changed from a 'great advantage' to a 'big disadvantage' overnight."

Amber nodded and continued:

"In the original Regent Party, not everyone was of the same mind as him. Many of them were speculators who took advantage of the changing circumstances. When it came time to wield swords and guns, Norton II could rely on him. , except for the troops under his own control, only the two Dukes, Duke and William, were left.

But in this case, he still has the strength to fight and can even be said to have the upper hand. This is why Norton II has always been confident and not anxious at all, because the fleet and celestial fortress in hand are his biggest assets. trump card.

But now, he has lost one of his most important military right-hand men. The chain reaction and the resulting strength gap are much larger than we imagined, especially the blow to morale and confidence within the 'Regent Party'. It can be said to be huge”

Lilith: "So those old nobles don't plan to continue fighting with him?"

"No" Amber shook her head,

"It should be said that those veteran nobles never thought about risking their lives from the beginning to the end. Even if the regent and the royal family officially went to war before, these old foxes would most likely be waving flags and building momentum, and then waiting to distribute the fruits of victory.

Now, these old foxes may not even want to wave the flag, because they have begun to worry that Norton II will eventually fail, and they are also likely to be implicated and then liquidated by Agnes. "

Amber closed his eyes and thought. He carefully connected the plots of missions related to the Star Dragon Empire that he had experienced in his previous life - after becoming a psyker, it is not too convenient to read these memories, even if he glances at them briefly, Memories that have been 'classified' by the brain as 'unimportant information' can be recalled quickly.

After a moment, he opened his mouth and gave instructions to Lilith:

"Lilith, you have been paying more attention to the movements of the old nobles in recent times. I guess that the voices within the 'Regent Party' that hope to reconcile with the royal family may become louder and louder with their encouragement."

"Okay Master, I will focus on collecting information in this area." Lilith nodded in agreement, "If this happens, Master, how do you think the Regent will respond?"

"How to respond. Good question."

Amber sketched a portrait of Norton II in his mind. In the evaluation of many plot parties, Norton II has always been a very contradictory character.

As a high-ranking aristocrat, he is willing to betray his own class for the sake of his 'ideal', trying to destroy the current bloated and corrupt political system of the Star Dragon Empire in the form of an 'aristocratic revolution'. While seeking equal rights for all the people of the empire, he is also trying to restore the empire. Cast glory.

But from another perspective, in order to achieve his ultimate goal, Norton II used any means in the process, including instigating rebellion, assassination, coercion, and inducement. As long as he can achieve his goal, there is no means that he cannot use.

In the "armed forced palace" that players in the previous life are familiar with, he could send his fleet to "send death" without hesitation, just to delay the main fleet for more time.

But at the same time, he also paid extremely high pensions to the families of these fallen soldiers, and ordered the nobles in the territories where these soldiers were located to take good care of the families of these fallen soldiers.

So in the eyes of the empire's high-ranking officials and nobles, Norton II was a tyrant, an ambitious man, and a conspirator.

But in the eyes of most grassroots soldiers and the public, he was a good man who "loved his soldiers like his own sons" and a "honest and upright master" who brought them hope.

It can be said that Norton II's reputation has long been in a binary superposition state of "holy lord and tyrant".

As for the title of "revolutionary", Amber felt that it could not be easily used on Norton II, because no one knew what would happen if the regent succeeded.

Will the future of the Star Dragon Empire become better? Or will it slide directly into the abyss?

No one knows, Amber doesn't know, maybe the main copywriter of "Starry Sky OL" knows, but now Amber can't ask.

The massive civil war that swept across the Star Dragon Empire in the previous life ended abruptly after Princess Agnes and the old Emperor Frederico both disappeared and the Regent was assassinated by an unknown person, which also led to the final division of the Star Dragon Empire.

After thinking for a moment, Amber looked up at Lilith and said:

"The Regent has now reached the point of a do-or-die battle. It is very likely that he will directly "turn evil" and then take military risks~"
