Broad World

In order to make Nalia a qualified political leader, Henry described a lot of methods in the following time about how to win over allies, how to exchange benefits, how to fight enemies, and so on. These things let the girls realize for the first time the dark nature of politics, that is, the eternal class and interests.

It can be said that no matter what kind of system the country implements, it cannot get rid of these two basic points. However, classes are gradually blurring in the land of Amn. At least in terms of legal terms, commoners enjoy the same status as nobles and big merchants. But in practice, both judges and councils will tend to the latter. After all, only they can pay a lot of taxes and bring prosperity to this country.

Precisely this point is where the contradictions and conflicts stand out the most. Maybe the people in Faerun have never heard the stories of Sheng Mien and Dou Michou, otherwise they would never give civilians a high status in the law. The greed of human nature determines that the more you give, the less you will be satisfied, and it will also produce an inexplicable hatred.

Just like a slave, if the slave owner has been maintaining a high degree of oppression, then he will never have any other thoughts, and will only work honestly. But if, on the other hand, the slave (slave) master is a little more merciful, such things as: it would be great if he could do less work, it would be great if he could not do it, it would be great if he could be free, and it would be great if he could be free. Why can't I be a slave owner... and so on, there will undoubtedly be a large-scale uprising in the end. This is precisely the situation in Amn now. All people are equal in legal status, but the quality of life is far apart. People in the upper class eat delicacies from mountains and seas. Live in a mansion. The lower class civilians could not get three meals a day. Moreover, when there is a conflict of interest, the ruler is obviously biased towards the wealthy class, and huge dissatisfaction has been brewing among the people.

If you walk on the streets of Askatla, you can hear the civilians living in this city complaining and cursing at any time. Almost every civilian thinks that they have been treated unfairly, but they don’t know it How to resist, how to fight. Anyone who knows modern history knows that this is exactly the same as the eve of the European Revolution in the eighteenth century. It's just that the supernatural power greatly limited the advantage of the number of people, making the situation ambiguous.

In Henry's view, Amn's current situation can be described as internal and external troubles, just like a powder keg, a slight spark will erupt immediately. And Nalia is this Mars. With her status as a nobleman and the political capital left by Sir Deanis, she can easily integrate into the upper class. As long as the civilians show enough strength, political speculators will naturally place their bets, and a large-scale turmoil is inevitable. This more in-depth political lesson lasted for several hours, until the servant came to tell me that it was time for lunch. Had to stop. Hina, who has been living in the mountain village, shook her head with a wry smile and sighed: "I used to think that ruling was an easy task, but I never expected it. There are so many ways hidden behind it."

"Yes, although I have often heard my father talk about this aspect, but this is the first time for such a direct analysis of the essence. With these theories, I believe that I will definitely be able to change this country." Nari said A confident expression appeared on Ya's face. She didn't know that if she followed this path, Amn would either be divided into countless city-states, or be divided up directly by the surrounding countries.

Aimon, who doesn't care about politics, stands up and announces loudly: "Okay, this is the end of the discussion of national affairs. Let's go downstairs and have dinner. My stomach is growling with hunger."…

Henry nodded with a smile and agreed: "Yes, filling your stomach is the most important thing right now. Let's go, I've asked the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal to ensure your satisfaction."

Soon the four of them came to the restaurant talking and laughing, enjoying nearly a hundred delicious dishes. Also eating together were Sir Nick, who had just been canonized as a knight, and Ernest, the interior officer. While eating, they asked Henry for opinions on the development and planning of the territory, and set the main tone of low agricultural taxes and heavy commerce at the dinner table.

At the same time, the sahuagin army finally arrived at the outskirts of the Angome Islands. In order to ensure the concealment of their actions, they did not attack any passing ships along the way, the purpose is to achieve the effect of surprise. Jacques Houas glanced at the bustling city of Bruwent, with a ferocious smile on his face.

He turned around and told the pastor who was following him: "Let everyone rest where they are. Send some other people to drive the fish away. Only when they are full can they have the strength to fight."

"Understood, but I want to remind you that there is a huge mage tower on this island. If we get too close, we will be detected immediately." After speaking, the priest left to assign tasks. She was in a bad mood, because this raid was literally a trade of life, and when the people on the island reacted, I am afraid that few people would be able to leave alive.

You must know that the mage tower is equivalent to a 360-degree fixed fort with no dead ends. As long as the energy reserve is sufficient, all kinds of powerful magic will be continuously released. Unless the attacker has a powerful spellcaster or mage group, thinking about how many of these ordinary fighters will die will be useless at all.

Originally, there were a lot of mages and priests in the sahuagin army. But after being bombed by Henry's terrifying legendary spell, they basically died in the port area of ​​Waterdeep City. Now there are less than 80 people left, and most of them are not very high-level. It is undoubtedly a dream to rely on them to fight against such a large mage tower.

Of course Jacques Houas also knows this truth, but he has no other way, whether it is human souls or his own souls, in short, he must gather enough quantities, otherwise the father of the sahuagin will be delayed. Sekora's plan has dire consequences.

Not long after, hundreds of murloc hunters with forks began to chase fish in the surrounding waters. A fisherman discovered this strange and strange phenomenon, and hurriedly drove his boat back to the port and reported to the guards. The guards who got the news did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent four copies of the news to the city hall, the barracks, the mage tower, and the lord's mansion.

Half an hour later, Shikodi, who is the wife of the lord, came to the city hall to hold an emergency meeting, and all the important people were present in no time. As a representative of the mage tower, Borken took out a mirror and lightly touched the diamond inlaid on it, and the picture of the sahuagin army resting on the seabed was displayed in front of everyone.

He pointed to the picture in the mirror and said: "I believe everyone has seen it. This is a seabed army with a number of about 20,000. There is no doubt that they are coming to the city of Bruwente. According to divination As a result, these guys will launch their first attacks in the evening or at night."

"Can the island be defended with the current strength?". Shi Kodi asked with some concern. As an ordinary woman, she has an instinctive fear of war.

The half-orc warrior Vaughan promised with a big smile, "Don't worry, ma'am, I guarantee that as long as any of these bastards dare to go ashore, they won't be able to go back alive."

Since both Corey and Hawk left, he is basically in charge of the military on the island. After so many years of recruiting and multiplying, there are a total of 2,000 heavy armored barbarian fighters alone, plus the number of ordinary human soldiers, it is not a problem to gather 5,000 people, which can be regarded as a strong army.

"That's right, I can also dispatch a hundred and fifty dwarf shield warriors, these bandits don't want to take advantage of anything." Cagan, who became the dwarf lord, also echoed loudly.

Borken also stepped forward to comfort him at this time: "Madam, you don't need to worry about the safety of Bruwent City at all. The Mage Tower has sent people to build portals around the two main islands. No matter where the murlocs come from We can quickly respond to attacks from any direction. And we now have a killer weapon, that is Lord Lord’s animal companion, Ares. I observed it two days ago, and its size is already larger than an adult dragon. And the thick fur on its body is strong enough to resist most sword attacks. I believe that once such a legendary giant bear attacks, it will be a nightmare for any enemy."

"But Henry is not here, are you sure someone can command it?" Shi Kodi asked suspiciously. She had only seen this big bear not long ago. It was obvious that although Ares never hurt anyone, he basically would not obey other people's orders except Henry.

"I have already sent a message to Mike, the leader of the tree rings, and one hundred and fifty druids will arrive soon. I believe they must have a way to communicate with Ares."

Hearing Borken's arrangement, Shikodi nodded slightly. "Okay, then I will leave all the work to you. Let's move as soon as possible, and let the citizens outside the city walls withdraw first."

"No problem, we will arrange everything before the enemy attacks." The half-orc warrior stood up and gave a military salute, and then walked towards the barracks. Not only did he not feel nervous now, but he was faintly excited. For a fighter, this is simply a great thing, because only when fighting to the death can one maximize one's martial skills.

Vaughn is already in his thirties this year. For a fighter, this is the most important period. If he can't break through his limits and become a legendary fighter before the age of forty, then the hope for the future will be slimmer. He himself is very aware of this, so he cherishes this hard-won war very much.

As soon as he returned to the barracks, Zuwosa, who had been waiting for a long time, hurried over and asked, "What happened? They actually started to call in soldiers on a large scale?"

"It's a war! A real war! About 20,000 sahuagin are on the bottom of the sea not far away. I've finally waited for this day." Vaughan hugged the half-orc ranger fiercely kissed. Although the two of them have not announced that they are married, they have actually been living together for a long time.
