Hunter starting from Hunter World

After defeating the last human resistance on this land, the Arathor Empire began a top-down reform.

Emperor Thoradin has only one goal, and that is to completely understand the traces left by the tribe on all people, so as to ensure that all humans identify themselves as subjects of the empire from the bottom of their hearts, not as members of a certain tribe before.

Of course, this is not an easy task, and he still needs to do a lot of work.

In addition, the new human empire urgently needs to recuperate, reform technology, increase productivity, and lay roads to connect the various feudal noble territories to the capital city of Rapids, so as to strengthen the royal family's control over the entire country.

In short, there is endless work to do every day.

The only thing that made Thoradin feel lucky was that his teacher Allen had built a simple bureaucratic system from scratch.

And a few years ago, we began to train some children to learn common language writing, arithmetic, measurement, overall management and other skills.

Now, more than two hundred educated young people have officially taken on the important task of managing the country.

Although their behavior is still quite immature, and they often even do some ridiculous things, they are already much better than those tribal elders who don't know a few characters and only know how to find experience from their predecessors.

After the relocation and resettlement of the prisoners of war were completely completed, three full months had passed.

Except for the occasional bad news about beasts or trolls attacking human villages, the Arathor Empire has generally maintained stability and prosperity.

Even some tribes settled in the mountains heard that a powerful and prosperous human kingdom had been established, and sent envoys all the way, hoping to accept the emperor's canonization and join the empire.

It takes a lot of time and energy just to receive these messengers every day.

At the same time, Rapids was constantly expanding to accommodate more craftspeople, especially furnaces, blacksmiths, carpenters, and leatherworkers.

These are directly related to the foundation of rule-the army.

Due to the influence of Eren since childhood, Thoradin knew very well that only by mastering a powerful machine of violence - the army, could he ensure that his rule would not be shaken.

As for legal systems and lineage, they are all based on violence.

Therefore, as long as he is alive, he will never give up strengthening his army.

Standing on the top of the newly completed main tower of the palace, Thoradin looked down at the dense and busy crowd below, and said without looking back: "Teacher, I will get married in a while. What are you ready to give me? Got a gift?"

"What do you want?" Allen asked with a half-smile.

"I want knowledge! More knowledge about how to rule a country and command an army." Thoradin made the request without hesitation.

Since becoming the emperor of the Arathor Empire, he has gradually lost interest in wealth, land, livestock, and food. Instead, he has a hungry need for knowledge.

the reason is simple!

The former can be obtained easily after wielding huge power.

But in this barbaric era, the latter is rarer and more valuable than anything else.

At least so far, there is no one in the entire Arathor Empire who can give Thoradin constructive opinions except Allen.

So Thoradin needed the wisdom of his teacher, and even wanted to pry open the other person's head, dig out all the knowledge inside, and then stuff it all into his own head.

He knows better than anyone that ruling an empire and ruling a tribe are two completely different situations.

If nothing else, just establishing systems and laws is a huge project.

So far, the privileges that the aristocracy can enjoy and the various responsibilities and obligations that it must bear have only been temporarily established.

As for civil administration and taxation, they were still in a very primitive and crude state.

In addition, commerce is not very developed in the first place, so commercial tax revenue is very small. It mainly relies on land rent and agricultural taxes to maintain the country's financial operations.

fortunately!

With the vigorous expansion of the slave hunting campaign, a large number of trolls and fishman captives replaced humans in dangerous and arduous physical labor, greatly alleviating the originally tight financial and human resources.

Several mines near Rapid City were basically replaced with shackled slaves.

A few days ago, one of the mines collapsed, killing hundreds of slave miners.

If it were in the past, just paying pensions and compensation would be enough to make the person in charge of operating the mine despair.

But now, he only needs to submit an application form, and soon he will get a large number of captured trolls or fishmen from the slave hunting team to fill the vacancies.

And these slaves who will work to death do not need to be paid, nor do they need to care about their health, nor do they even need to be treated as "human beings".

The value created by their labor will be completely deprived of them, and they will use their blood and tears to contribute to the rise of the Arathor Empire.

It can even be said that Allen's devilish suggestion alone solved the trouble that had troubled Thoradin for a long time.

Not only that!

As a large number of murlocs and trolls were captured, the security situation in the territory controlled by the empire quickly eased.

At least most villages don't have to worry about being raided by troll tribes at night, and fishermen and cargo ships don't have to worry about being sieged by murlocs.

Looking at Thoradin's expectant eyes, Allen couldn't help but smile, took out a handwritten book bound with parchment from his arms, and handed it over directly: "Here, I think this is an urgent need. knowledge."

"The Prince?"

Seeing the line of Common Language letters written on the cover, the emperor showed an extremely surprised expression on his face.

Allen nodded slightly: "That's right! After you really read this book, you will understand what a country is. What a monarch can do to avoid having his power taken away or diluted. You know, political struggles have always It begins at the birth of the nation.”

Of course, this Azeroth version of "The Prince" has gone through a series of modifications and deletions, and all the parts about religion have been eliminated.

Because there are no priests who have mastered the power of the Holy Light among human beings at the moment, so the beliefs are very mixed and have not formed a system, so it is not worth wasting time to pay attention to.

What's more, Allen has a natural aversion to things like religion, so he would not bring the original author's thinking mode that was seriously influenced by religion into the book.

Driven by strong curiosity, Thoradin quickly browsed through it and was immediately attracted by the viewpoints elaborated in the book. Then he asked without raising his head: "Teacher, where did you get this knowledge? According to me As far as I know, you grew up in a similar environment to me. You have always stayed in the tribe and have never traveled far. Could it be that...you have received enlightenment from the gods?"

"Yeah! That's right! I did get some enlightenment, so I have this inexplicable knowledge." Allen pretended to be careless and panicked.

"That's it! Your luck is really enviable. But I'm a little strange, why do you have to train me and let me do things that you can obviously do on your own?" Thoradin finally said the thing that was weighing on him. A secret that has been in my heart for many years.

In his opinion, if the other party wants to, they can definitely repeat the story of establishing the Arathor Empire, and maybe even do it better.

"Because I hate restraint. It is certainly a happy thing to become the emperor of the empire and leave a mark in history. But at the same time, it also requires huge sacrifices. Take you as an example, even When you marry a queen, you don't consider whether you like her, but what benefits she can bring. So in my eyes, the emperor's throne is more like a shackles than an honor."

Allen did not hide anything and openly expressed his inner thoughts.

He had also considered playing the life of Emperor Thoradin himself.

But later he discovered that he couldn't play the role at all.

After all, the emperor is first and foremost a political creature.

If played by Allen, he would definitely act willfully and eventually change the history of Azeroth beyond recognition.

"Shackles? Hahahahaha!" Thoradin laughed at himself. "Okay, I have to admit that your description is quite accurate. But such shackles are what countless people want."

"Yes. Power is like a poison. Most people will inevitably become addicted to it after tasting it. So you must always be vigilant and don't one day become a monster controlled by power." Allen used warned in an extremely serious tone.

"Don't worry, I will never be corrupted by power." Thoradin assured without thinking.

Of course, it is unknown how long his guarantee will last.

But at least for this moment, he meant it.

"So about your wedding, how did you arrange it?"

Allen obviously knew that continuing to discuss this issue would definitely not lead to any pleasant results, so he decisively changed the topic.

Thoradin stroked the thick beard on his chin and responded: "I plan to take some of the food and wine from the treasury and share it with all the residents of Rapids, so that they can also feel the happy atmosphere. In addition, I I will also give birth to a boy with my queen as soon as possible to stabilize people's hearts."

"What about those nobles? Don't you plan to take this opportunity to give expensive gifts to those nobles who own land? You must know that this is the best opportunity to make money." Allen reminded meaningfully.

But when Thoradin heard this, he immediately shook his head: "Forget it. As the first generation of nobles, they spent no less on building their territory than I did. In addition, the autumn harvest has not yet come, and there will be no future output from the land." Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered, teacher, you seem to have never checked your own territory, right?"

"Yes. You have always been short of manpower here. How can I have time to inspect my territory." Allen spread his hands with an innocent look.

In fact, he didn't look down on the territory that was extremely rich in the eyes of others, let alone the output of that land.

After getting it, he gave it to a person named Lyle to take full responsibility.

Anyway, as long as eight hundred soldiers are gathered when the emperor of the empire calls for them, it will be enough.

"I'm sorry, this is all my fault. While the empire is safe and sound, I might as well give you a holiday and go back to your own territory to have a look. In addition, you are not young anymore. It's time to find someone. Women get married and have children.”

When he said these words, Thoradin's tone was full of ridicule.

"Are you doing something else?" Allen keenly sensed something was wrong.

Thoradin quickly denied it: "How is that possible! I am only caring about you, teacher. After all, the blood of an outstanding noble like you should be passed down no matter what. And I also hope that my son or daughter can be like yours." The son or daughter enters into a marriage alliance.”

"But you are only in your twenties, do you need to think so far?" A look of astonishment appeared on Allen's face.

"People who have no foresight must worry about the near future. It is never a bad thing to make more plans for the future. What's more, the enemy we have to deal with in the next stage is the trolls of the Amani Empire. I am not sure that I can make a decision in this game. Survive the war for humanity’s destiny.”

Whenever the word "Amani" was mentioned, Thoradin's eyes became particularly gloomy.

There were too many forest trolls in the north to count, and they blocked the sky like dark clouds, preventing him from relaxing for a moment.

"Relax! We will win! Nothing can stop the rise of humanity!"

Allen raised his hand and patted Thoradin's shoulder gently, then turned and left the emperor's study.

Since the emperor gave him leave, he would naturally not give up the opportunity to return to his territory to take a look.

After all, when he first learned about the history of the east and west of the earth, Allen felt that what made Western history more interesting than Eastern history was that the former was a true feudal system, and noble lords had supreme power in their own territories.

Although this system once put the West in the Dark Middle Ages, all indicators of human society were appallingly low.

In this way, after a simple handover of the work at hand, Allen quickly rode on his horse, taking a group of cavalry sent from the territory to protect his safety, and headed straight to the valley plain hundreds of kilometers away.

They slept and ate in the open along the way, and were even attacked by highland velociraptors at night.

But no one died at all. There was just one unlucky guy who had a large piece of flesh removed and could no longer do any strenuous activities for a short period of time.

After riding horses and running in the wilderness for several days, everyone finally saw a lush farmland rising from the horizon.

Some tenant farmers are wielding tools in their hands, carefully cutting away the weeds near their crops, and diverting water from the nearby river for irrigation.

A few cows were lying by the river drinking water quietly, while the hounds raised their heads and patrolled the surroundings vigilantly. Once they found anything suspicious, they would immediately bark.
