Chapter 526 Meeting 2

Almost all those who are eligible to be invited to attend this gathering are the direct descendants of the major families.

Many of the guys present have more or less the same mentality as Colin.

Nowadays, many nobles' control areas have been messed up by these insect beasts.

The development of the situation is no longer simply a resource issue.

The fall of the control area in the "Cradle" not only concerns the face and reputation of the Longwa nobles, but also affects the right to speak of these heirs within the family.

After Colin finished describing the situation of his family's control area, someone immediately echoed him.

"My family is in a similar situation. We have been harassed recently."

"Fortunately, the support sent by the family is quite strong, so the overall loss is still within the acceptable range."

As soon as the person who agreed finished speaking, another Longwa noble said disdainfully:

"It's because you underestimated the enemy that you capsized in the gutter!"

"In my opinion, those weird insect beasts are not that difficult to deal with."

"Anyway, the several invasions in our family-controlled area were easily resolved, and a large number of insect beasts were annihilated during the pursuit."

"That's right, the insect beast groups I encountered were not very good in number and strength."

"Not only were they scattered, but even different groups had a subtle sense of mutual restraint. It was not difficult to defeat them."

"That's because the insect beast groups you encountered were too weak. When you encounter a strong group..."

"Haha, I think you are just making excuses for your failure."

In the quarrel of different opinions, the topic shifted unconsciously.

Although Perrin had a blank expression, he was secretly happy to see that the nobles of Longwa were at odds with each other.

Perrin, who was born in a branch of the royal family, knew very well that the current royal family actually had very limited control over the nobles of Longwa.

If the major noble groups in Longwa cooperated closely, that would be a real big trouble.

"Okay!"

Raising his hand gently, he interrupted this meaningless quarrel, signaling everyone to be quiet, Perrin continued:

"Although the princes are conquering outside the territory, they have also been paying attention to domestic affairs."

"After learning that many noble-controlled areas in the 'Cradle' have been occupied by lowly humans, they are all deeply dissatisfied."

"So I specially ordered me to gather you and convey the will of the royal family!"

Looking around at everyone with cold eyes, Perrin saw that everyone sat up slightly and straightened their posture, and then continued:

"You are all the backbone of my Longwa, in order to maintain the face of the empire."

"Next, you need to deal with the problem of the 'Cradle' within one year in real time."

"If you can't do it, the royal family will personally clean up the mess."

"By then, all the areas recaptured by the royal family will be returned to the royal family!"

As soon as Perrin said this, the faces of the nobles present all changed.

In the quiet box, everyone turned their heads and cast their eyes on Perosa and Nalain.

Nalain, who still maintained the etiquette of the nobility, did not speak, but curled his lips and sneered, his face full of teasing.

Perosa, on the other hand, had put away the smile on his face and directly tapped the table with his fingers.

"Do you want to return the recaptured area to the royal family?"

"Isn't this the official order of the emperor? I wonder which prince is joking?"

"Or do you want to rely on strength like in the early days of the 'Cradle', and whoever occupies it will be the owner?"

As soon as the voice fell, the whole box fell into a strange silence.

Everyone cast an inexplicable look at Perrin.

Although the Longwa Empire is nominally the supreme imperial power, it is deeply rooted in the aristocratic system.

It is true that the royal family is very strong, but in essence, it is just the strongest family of true gods in the empire.

Once many aristocratic groups join forces, it will be enough to overturn the rule of imperial power.

In the earliest days, the ‘Cradle’ resource well was just the back garden of the previous generation of the royal family.

But as time went by, with the tacit cooperation of many nobles, it changed from the private property of the royal family to the ‘cradle’ of the new generation of the entire Longwa Empire.

For this reason, the entire Longwa Empire was in turmoil for a period of time.

The noble group, which was at a disadvantage at the time, even instigated the members of the royal collateral line to sign a series of ‘peace’ treaties with human forces.

When the noble group won, the previous generation of the royal family was extinct, the Longwa Empire returned to peace, and the new generation of imperial emperors supported by the noble group ascended the throne.

The new imperial emperor discovered that Longwa at this time was no longer able to deal with the humans who took the opportunity to rise.

The ‘Cradle’ can be said to be a place of shame for the royal family.

This is also the fundamental reason why royal gods are rarely seen in the ‘Cradle’, and royal demigods are almost extinct.

Perosa's words were apparently about the rules of the 'cradle', but secretly implying that the 'cradle' was the fuse for the extinction of the royal family of the previous generation.

Not only was it heartbreaking, but it also didn't give Perrin and the prince who instructed this matter any face.

"You............"

Perrin seemed to be stabbed in the throat by Perosa's words, and his face turned pale.

However, when he saw Perosa's unflinching and stern eyes, he did not attack immediately.

Instead, he forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart and turned his eyes to Nalain who was watching the show on the side.

He tried to get support from this guy who had always been at odds with Perosa.

But what he met was Narain's teasing gaze, as if he was looking at a clown.

"Ahem..."

Peilin knew that he could no longer follow the other party and continue to delve deeper into this topic.

After coughing twice to relieve the dull atmosphere, he immediately brought the topic back on track.

"Every year, 10% of the 'Cradle''s income will be handed over to the empire for taxation."

"Today, the output of a large number of nobles has declined, which is also a loss for the empire. Solving the 'cradle' problem is our focus."

As he spoke, he distributed detailed information to everyone present.

"This is the research information on various insect beasts that I have compiled, including their body functions and fighting methods."

"Although these insect beasts seem to be a unified group."

"But based on the analysis of today's action patterns, they actually have countless branches."

"It's like there are independent tribal groups, and the relationship between them is not friendly."

"Different tribes do not belong to each other. Even if they reluctantly unite, their cooperation will be extremely inefficient."

Speaking of which, Peilin also displayed several images on the projection light screen in the box.

"There is data showing that when two or more tribes meet, they generally do not interfere with each other. Their occasional cooperation or mutual hostility can also support this inference from the side."

"As long as we gather an absolutely superior force, we can defeat these bugs one by one with minimal battle losses and completely clear out the 'cradle'."

Seeing that Perrin had finally put away his probing thoughts, Perosa and Narain were unwilling to argue with him on sensitive issues related to the royal family.

Almost at the same time, the polite smiles between nobles returned to their faces.

Getting rid of these annoying bugs is also what they are happy to see.
