The Origin of Arcane

Man Yu's army leads the capital, the city of Sauron, the castle of the Duke.

A tyrannical shadow hangs over the entire castle, everyone is in a hurry, looking cautious, lest they will be killed because of a small mistake.

Trash! Idiot! Idiot!

Boom...boom...choke...

The loser is a veteran general who has experienced many battles. He can't even hold back a group of wine bags and food bags. He lost his troops without seeing the enemy's face. This is the first time this king has seen such a useless battle. How dare you Please let me decide? Why do you still have the nerve to live in this world?

One earl, eight viscounts, more than thirty barons, if they say nothing, they will be gone. Do you think it is worthless lettuce? How much do you want? Do you know how much threat this will pose to the king's rule?

After summoning the orderly who came back from the front line, the sound of cursing and beating has never stopped. The orderly was also carried out, and he was only half breathed. It is estimated that his body has been completely cold by now.

From Duke Borg's indistinct growls, it could be heard that the army that set off on an expedition to the Andes mountain thugs a week ago had failed.

The loss was heavy, at least one earl, eight viscounts and more than thirty barons were lost...

When hearing this, the passing waiters and maids wanted to plug their ears and run as fast as they could.

There are too many things involved in this piece of information, far exceeding their ability to participate. If they are a little careless, even if they have the signboard of the Duke's Mansion on them, they will be doomed.

In the past, like a sieve, the Duke's Mansion was well-known to passers-by with a little trouble, but this time it was uncharacteristically turned into an iron bucket, with no news leaked out.

But only half a day later, the whole city of Solo knew about it, because there were a large number of other lords and nobles who went to the Bastille, and they didn't have any sense of secrecy, and the whole city was blown up.

Usually, the death of a viscount is a major event. In order to fight for the right to inherit, there are various struggles from the local to the territorial capital, such as power and money transactions, political marriages, and military competitions.

All kinds of fighting between brothers, uncles, nephews, and sisters. There are big fights and duels in the arena. Various methods emerge in endlessly and in various ways. It is a topic that people in the capital talk about after they are full of wine and food. .

However, there were too many nobles and nobles who died suddenly this time, so many that they began to shake the rule of the Faerun family over the Manyu military leader.

Sure enough, on the third morning, news came that two brothers of the Hogan family had a duel in order to fight for the succession of the baron.

The older brother was shot down by his horse, broke his neck, and died. The younger brother successfully inherited the Baron Hogan's position. This is considered the lightest loss, but for the leader of Man Yu's army, he still lost a young regular knight, a potential big man. knight.

The right to inherit the baron is usually carried out through this kind of duel. After all, most of the properties involved belong to a small town or a castle. It’s amazing to add a few manors. Most of their private soldiers were taken away by the previous baron, or buried forever Bastille, or he won't come back in time, and there won't be much noise.

What is really fatal is the ownership of the titles of the earl and eight viscounts. The scope and power involved are huge, and it affects less than half of the Man Yu army.

The Duke family, which the Hogan family is loyal to, has already had a military confrontation for the succession of the viscount, and it is still divided into three.

Since the former Viscount Duke had just succeeded to the throne not long ago and had no direct descendants, his uncle, brother and wife all jumped out and declared that they had the first right of succession.

None of these three people is good, and they all have their own forces. They formed a three-legged confrontation model in Duke Viscount, and started a long battle for unified hegemony. , emerge in endlessly, if it is recorded, it can be written as a miniature version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms in another world.

On one side is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, on the other side is the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, and farther away is the chaos of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, not only fighting in one's own territory, but also fighting with other neighbors. Others want to take advantage of the fire and rob, and expand the territory that their family has not moved for many years.

The entire Manyu military leader was raging with flames of war and smoke everywhere, turning into a mess. As the supreme ruler, Duke Borg was also devastated, so he didn't have the energy to deal with the culprit, the Andes mountain people.

Hastily repaired the Bastille, which was almost burned to the ground, left a regular army and nearly 10,000 servants to garrison, and the rest of the army withdrew to the territory to suppress the rebellion.

It is true that the Duke of Borg is the supreme ruler of the Manyu army, but he is restricted by the enfeoffment system. Unless he receives a clear request, he cannot interfere in the internal affairs of his vassals. The right of inheritance is the core point. This is written The purpose of entering the pamphlet is to ensure the independence of the vassals themselves.

The vassal of the vassal, the Duke of Borg is even less qualified to intervene.

Let's put it this way, a knight is loyal to a baron, the baron is loyal to a viscount, and the viscount is directly loyal to the Duke of Borg, but neither the knight nor the baron needs to be loyal to the Duke of Borg. allegiance.

Although it is very convoluted, this is the actual situation of the Man Yu army leader, and even the entire Byron Alliance.

This was the bane planted at the beginning of the founding of the Byron Alliance. Under the special background at that time, this ruling mode was no problem, and even accelerated the pace of reunification of the entire Arshan continent.

Over time, various drawbacks of this governance model were exposed, and the Byron League said it was a coalition of countries, but in fact it was eight countries.

The Lancelot family has only nominal power to rule, and the actual power to rule is in the hands of dukes like the Phelan family. The proclamation signed three hundred years ago is what maintains this nominal rule. It is very fragile. Once these dukes It's hard for the Lancelot family to do anything to them.

The situation of Man Yu's army leader this time is too special, and Duke Borg can't care so much anymore. If they are allowed to fight on, the entire Man Yu army leader will be turned into a piece of white ground by them, and all people will die by then. What's the use of having more power?

The Duke of Borg read out what later known as the Proclamation of the Citizens in Solo City, and gave those hereditary nobles a month to choose a new lord, and went to Solo City to swear allegiance to him, otherwise the Faerun family would pay Various armed forces are used to protect the legal rights and lives of the people of the Manyu Army.

If the heirs who fought fiercely for the right of inheritance could be resolved because of a small notice and threat, they would not have developed to this level. Basically, no one paid attention to the unilateral notice of Duke Borg.

A month later, the army of the Faerun family pushed forward all the way, and the world was surprised to find that the Duke of Borg didn't help these families to run for a new lord, but overthrew all the forces that were fighting each other, and wiped out the entire territory. Take control back into your own hands.

This stab can poke a hornet's nest, and the lords and nobles who were originally fighting were joined together to fight against the Duke of Borg, but they were surprised to find that they had been completely isolated.

Prior to this, the Duke of Borg had already reached an interest agreement with other nobles and nobles who were not in the quagmire to carve up their territories together.

After the fire at the Bastille and their own internal divisions and wars, the power of these noble families was already weakened to the extreme, and now they are facing the joint army of Man Yujun and other noble nobles who are like jackals. The strength of the two sides is not at all. a notch.

In just five months, one hereditary earl with real power, six intern viscounts with real power, and 21 hereditary hereditary barons became the past tense of Manyu's military leader. Half of the family fief fell into the hands of the Faerun family, half It fell into the hands of other lords and nobles, and the entire Manyu military leader underwent a power reshuffle.

The overall war strength of the Man Yu army has declined significantly, but the strength of the Feilun family has increased significantly, and the rule of the Man Yu army has reached an unprecedented height.

But this is definitely not what Duke Borg wants to see. Although he is committed to the centralization of the entire military leader, it is definitely not through this method.

The impact of the war is definitely not unilateral, but in all aspects. This turmoil has affected the entire army and lasted for nearly a year. It directly or indirectly caused the death toll to exceed one-twentieth of the Manyu army.

The economic losses are countless, and the number of people in exile is as many as one million. Nearly one-third of them have flocked to Solo, the capital, which has caused great pressure here. After three times, the locals in Lingdu were almost unable to survive, and this was also the indirect reason that prompted Duke Borg to be ruthless.

The other two pillar industries of Man Yu's army - wrestling and slavery have been greatly affected.

The war is in full swing, who is in the mood to watch the gladiatorial fight?

The lords and nobles of other military leaders did not dare to come, and they were slaughtered by those mobs if they were careless.

Not to mention the slave trade. Although the Manyu army has two major channels for slaves, the Odin Grassland is limited by roads. After all, it is a small head, accounting for only one-tenth of the entire slave trade. Andis mountain people This is the big head.

Now that the supply of goods has been completely cut off, no matter how high the price is, it is useless if there are not so many new slaves entering the market.

During this period, it was not that no one had the idea of ​​attacking the mountain hunting slaves, but once they left the Bastille, more than 90% of these people disappeared and never came back. A few slaves came back, but in the end I didn't even see a slave hair.

According to the surviving hunters, the sky has changed in the Andes Mountains now, and the ancient river channel of Jacob is no longer the original ancient channel, and it is full of various hidden traps.

There are also countless Andes mountain hunters lurking in it. Even the elite legion of the Faerun family who are well-equipped will not give in. Once they are targeted by them, they will bite like a gangrene.

If you chase him, you will run away, and if you run away, he will chase you, which will make you exhausted, and in the process, the number of the other party will soon gather to a terrifying level, and then there will be no chance to get out of the mountain. This is the most typical wolf pack tactics.
