Arcane Lord

The emergence of a great arcanist can often have a profound impact on the area where he is located, and even have a considerable impact on Netheril as a whole.

The Southern Green Tower Alliance has a relatively long history, at least two hundred years ago. It was originally a defensive alliance that the lords of that area had to form spontaneously to deal with the orc tide.

Later, after all the large orc tribes in the Nese territory were wiped out, large-scale orc tides no longer appeared, but the form of the Green Tower Alliance was still preserved.

Since its development, it can be regarded as the largest group of forces in the south of the core area of ​​Nese.

Once a powerful Arcanist leader emerges from such a force, its cohesion will be unprecedentedly strong, and it will definitely have more interests.

As for where more benefits will come from, it can only be squeezed out from the surrounding territories, or even from Netheril as a whole.

After Iolum briefly introduced Cross and his Green Tower Alliance, Shado immediately thought that the Seven Towers might be bleeding heavily next.

The rise of the Green Tower will have almost no impact on territories far away from the Green Tower. After all, this era is still more about self-sufficiency.

At most, the benefits obtained from the Austrian Law Federation are less, but that actually has little impact. As for its surrounding territories, perhaps joining the alliance will be a good choice.

This is not a difficult decision to make.

The only one that will be greatly affected is probably the Seven Towers. If you want to be a leader or a ruler, you must take into account the overall situation. If others cannot get the benefits needed by the Green Tower, you can only leave the Seven Towers.

Shado kept thinking about the impact of this incident on the Southern Territory and the Tower of Time, and did not notice that Iolum had left at this time.

Seeing Shaduo lost in thought, Brod found it a little difficult to understand:

"Xia Duo, why are you thinking so much? Even if the Green Tower rises, it will not affect us. The Seven Towers should be the headache. For us, we should be happy. This will highlight the existence of the Arcane Law Federation. value."

"..."

Shado was speechless. In fact, in his heart, he preferred the Severnton Parliament to the Austrian Law Federation. Once the Austrian Law Federation gained actual power, it would have stronger control over lower-level units, which was not conducive to his development.

As for the Sevington Parliament, as long as it does not change its feudal nature, it can only be regarded as a nominal ruler for Chateau.

This is conducive to the birth and replacement of real civilization from within. In a sense, Shado and Seven Towers are the real alliance of interests.

Of course, he was unambiguous when it came time to reach out to the Seven Towers. In other words, what Shado had to do was to constantly pry the corners of the Seven Towers until he hollowed out the so-called "Sevington Council System."

It can only be said that even if Brod has applied to become a pioneer lord, he has not yet realized the consciousness of a true lord.

For the time being, Shado is relatively optimistic about the rise of the Green Tower. As Brod just said, no matter how he rises, it will be difficult for him to affect the neutral line of the Austrian Law Federation.

For the time being, as long as Shado takes care of Iolum's train, he doesn't have to worry about the adverse effects of the Green Tower's rise on him. Instead, he can take advantage of the other party's rise to benefit himself.

He knows that the rise of a force and the process of obtaining more benefits cannot happen suddenly. There must be a continuous process and a relatively stable method.

If a mage organization wants to obtain more benefits, if it cannot directly grab them, it can only sell products and use certain shares or discounts given by the Seven Towers to achieve profits.

In this process, competition may become fierce! Industry may have developed just like this!

This is probably the benefit that Xia Duo is most looking forward to.

Of course, Xia Duo does not expect the Green Tower to open up the market and then harvest it. The Tower of Time will definitely participate in the competition, and may conflict with the Green Tower.

As for what to do in the future, Xia Duo decided to wait and see the response of the Green Tower.

At the same time, he knew one thing better: the birth of the independent arcane fire device would have a more far-reaching impact than the rise of the Green Tower.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo is even more looking forward to putting the independent arcane fire device into practical use.

…

Two days later, the Green Tower in the South.

Cross, the newly promoted Grand Arcanist who was supposed to have great success, is now sitting in the study with a gloomy look on his face. The light in the study is a little dark, which further highlights Cross's mood at the moment.

At yesterday's alliance meeting, he vigorously promoted his deep integration plan to the lords and senior mages in the alliance, but before he could say "who agrees and who opposes", objections appeared one after another.

What upset him even more was what happened later. After the meeting, he originally wanted to talk privately with the opponents and ask them what they were dissatisfied with.

Unexpectedly, one of the opponents suddenly turned into a Grand Arcanist and warned him sternly not to forget the original intention of the alliance, which was to gather people to protect themselves, but to satisfy someone's ambition.

This turn of events caught Cross off guard. He originally thought that he was the only great arcanist in the alliance and should be the only leader, but now another one appeared.

Then when the alliance needed the other side the most, why didn't the other side step forward?

But now? Isn't this deliberately targeting him?

Later, Cross didn't have the heart to meet the few opponents behind him. He returned to the territory depressedly and called his brother Kabor back from Severington. He asked Kabol to go as a director of the Austrian and French Federation. Test the naysayers.

But the results can be imagined.

Even Cross himself could object, so what difference would there be if having a younger brother.

The only advantage is probably that Cross doesn't need to experience that embarrassing scene in person.

Just as he was thinking about what to do next, the light in the study suddenly became brighter. Cross subconsciously squinted his eyes and looked at the figure that appeared in the light. He knew that his brother Kabor was back.

"How is it? What did Lord Koch say?" Cross asked with concern.

"well--"

Kabol shook his head, "Lord Koch said that it is good for the alliance to maintain the status quo and no changes are needed."

Upon hearing this, Cross's anger, which had gradually subsided, suddenly surged out again, "Do these stubborn old antiques really think I can value their little possessions? Times have changed. If we can't adjust and adapt in time, , will definitely be abandoned by the new era!”

The furious Cross got up and walked around the study, as if venting his anger. Finally, he stopped in front of his brother Kabor, stared into his brother's eyes, and asked:

"Do you also think that I am very radical and ambitious?"

"I-" Kabor hesitated.

When Cross saw this scene, he didn't know what his brother was thinking. He was instantly angry and shouted: "Go away! Go back to your Severton!"

He didn't expect that his brother, who he always thought could understand him best and trust him the most, would choose to trust someone else at this time!

That hit even harder than all the opposition in the league combined.
