The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich

Chapter 660: A Not-So-Glamourous Covenant

It is fundamentally different from other super empires. Lanmeng is not a single country, but an alliance of northern countries. This article is written by . . starting

The Seven Kingdoms of the North, regarded as barbarians on the border by human society, are the geographical core of this alliance, and the non-human races in it also occupy a very large share. The influx of people naturally caused a change in the balance of power in the Lan League. The human kingdom is not the only core in this alliance.

But what can keep this alliance going is Sluwell and Donglan Principality where the Lan Clan is located. The two countries that have been vaguely regarded as a new Lan Kingdom are the political core of the entire alliance.

The other five kingdoms among the seven kingdoms of the Northland and Lan Kingdom are also human kingdoms. This is a natural ally relationship. Lan Kingdom defeated and conquered the Northland Orcs. Due to the tangled relationship, due to many factors, Renee and Galina became the actual leaders of Lanmeng.

Non-interference in each other's internal affairs is the foundation of the alliance. From the beginning of the establishment of the alliance, "a relatively loose alliance, but in the face of adversity, it is an alliance that sticks together to keep warm and overcome difficulties" is the positioning that Lanmeng has given itself.

But with the strengthening of ties, the entire world has entered a period of war. In order to prepare for war and use the few resources on the cutting edge, various resources and forces must be integrated. Once the integration begins, the countries in the alliance will Sex will naturally be greatly reduced.

This is why during war, the source of dictatorship is always easy to appear. In order to deal with the threat of war, an efficient and centralized organization is necessary. Then, with the emergence of dictators and centralizers, the minority will quickly lose them. the right to speak and protest.

Northland Winter Grain Reserve Scheduling Committee. The name directly points out its functionality, and it sounds like a Qingshui yamen. But in fact, he is the king of a country. It will also maintain sufficient respect for the members of the committee.

Its main duty is to regulate winter grain rations and avoid large-scale famine and freezing famine, because it can regulate the food supply of the entire northern countries, and can redistribute the grain imported from other countries in the mainland, and can selectively The right to turn a certain country's rations into war reserves has long been stuck in the necks of Lanmeng alliance countries. If it is not interference in the internal affairs of other countries, then what is interference in internal affairs.

The northern defense front constructs the headquarters. In charge of the construction of strategic defense, fortresses, and defense lines in the north, that is to say, you can coordinate the construction of defensive fortifications...the forts are all built in your house, isn't it considered interference in internal affairs, don't the royal powers of all countries have any concerns?

But at the moment, this is necessary and recognized. After all, everyone knows that the war is imminent, and if it is still a mess, it is necessary for Lanmeng to exist.

Although Lanmeng has been developing as a whole in recent years,

But the fastest growing. Naturally, there is the country of Lan with Difende and Magic Engineering Headquarters. When the two countries of Lan are united, the number one human country in the League of Lan has already lived up to its name. Even the remaining five of the seven Northland countries combined cannot compare to these two countries.

And due to the strength of Lan Kingdom in the Lan League, it goes without saying who the people in charge of these "working committees", "commands" and "headquarters" are. The member states are being integrated, and the new Northern Lights Fleet built by gathering the strength of all countries is the most obvious example.

It may take decades for a single country to produce such a super warship with its resources, but now, it takes only eight years. Not only did the first batch of fleets take shape, but the foundations of arms, industry, and shipbuilding in various countries also increased. As long as the resources can keep up, the second batch of fleets will probably be released soon.

in a sense. As the preparations for the war progressed, rules were formulated, and working committees took control of the real power. The status of the members of the Lan League was rapidly decreasing, and the king was reduced to a lord who had to obey "superior orders". The dual restrictions imposed by churches and Lanmeng institutions have become more and more administrative and military officials. While the entire Lanmeng is thriving, there are naturally some people who will be dissatisfied because of the loss of interests.

Where there is light, there is darkness, power struggles and so on, where there are people, there will be society, and Lanmeng, born of ideals, is no exception.

I won’t mention the process, but when it comes to conspiracies, very few people have ever played dark elves, and now the entire dark elf society indirectly serves Lan Nation, and the final result is that the opponents disappeared due to various reasons.

Are you dissatisfied? Of course there are, but with the various dividends brought about by the rise of the gods of the underworld and the Lanmeng, such as the abundance of materials, the improvement of national status, the increase of income, and job opportunities, at least most people have seen the situation clearly and are at ease. Go on in this super warship.

"I don't care who runs the house, as long as my life gets better and better, that's enough."

This is what the vast majority of people think, and in this regard, Lan Guo has indeed fulfilled his promise.

Of course, not everyone is happy to see such a development, at least those "kings" and lords who are increasingly unable to grasp the situation, have been vaguely sitting on the opposite side, the biggest difference between Lanmeng and other mechanisms is that The supervisors of the Law Church will constantly review the actions of the nobles and the royal family, and Lan Kingdom is the strong support of the church, which naturally makes it unacceptable for those old-fashioned nobles who are used to being bigger and bigger.

And for some people, if you touch their rights, you touch their lives.

The old-fashioned aristocrats are also masters of intrigue, and they are even more related to the countries in the center of the mainland in terms of blood and interests. If it weren't for the swift action of the shadows in the dark, if it weren't for those big countries who were also afraid of the power of the Lan country, there would be at least four or five The sub-alliance is on the verge of collapse, and as Lan Kingdom's position becomes more and more stable in the internal struggle, it is almost an open secret that the power of those alliance kings has obviously declined.

And the Iron Triangle of Lan Kingdom, Xiluo Undead, and underground forces is the backbone of the Lan League, and its overwhelming strength makes all reactionary and conspiracies come to naught. Since there is a core, there are naturally edges, and the result is the original old aristocracy. Power is clearly marginalized.

The Lan Kingdom forces have also repeatedly propagated that these agencies that strengthen overall planning and resource allocation are only temporary, and they will all be abolished after the jihad. That's all.

"Will you let go of the rights you have already obtained?"

Will do. After the jihad, I immediately found a place to take care of the elderly. What do I want to do with those who have nothing? What fun is there for a rich man in the feudal era. It's better to go around the world to see the scenery, but I'm telling the truth this time. But as always, no one believed it.

Do those kings and lords who joined Lanmeng regret it? I think I mostly regret it now. After all, many things that I did in the past can’t be done now. Those old-fashioned creatures of the Church of the Law are truly evil and must be killed, but as the Holy War continues, the facts will prove that the original choice is correct. , and their perceptions will change.

But at this time, joining Lanmeng means giving up imperial power, in this era of feudal kingship. This is extremely taboo.

"The Principality of Thorne and the Kingdom of Phildias applied to join the Lan League? When did it happen? What are they for?"

Don't say I was stunned. The administrators who heard the news were dumbfounded. After all, joining the Lan League may be beneficial to the entire country and the people, but such a decision must be made by the Grand Dukes and Kings of the two countries. Come out, are they willing to give up the kingship and accept the bondage on their own initiative?

The Principality of Thorne and the Kingdom of Phildias are both in the south of the former Seven Kingdoms of the North, and there is a small country in the middle, and the Principality of Thorne can only be regarded as a small country. However, the Kingdom of Ferthias occupies the fertile Finn Plain and the Chawen River, and its territory is quite vast, and its strength is not bad. This application to join Lanmeng was obviously sudden.

"The application arrived three days ago. It was signed by the Grand Duke of Klein and His Majesty Vincent. It contains the basic information of the two countries and simple information such as taxation, expenditure, and military affairs. The meaning of the administrative department is that the two countries are very sincere. , we must carefully consider it.”

Renee flipped through these materials numbly in front of me, her face was bitter but also full of seriousness, it seemed that she had just returned. I don't need to sleep tonight.

Regardless of whether the applications of the two countries are accepted or not, this is a major event related to the century-old development of Lanmeng. If you accept it, the area of ​​Lanmeng will not only directly increase by one-third. Open the gap leading to the inland, and you can also harvest a fertile grain-producing land, and if you don't accept it, you must at least give enough reasons.

I flipped through the map casually, looking at the large areas of brown and blue on the map, and compared my past memories. At this time, my past memories are probably more useful than dull information.

The Principality of Thorne has only been established for a hundred years or two generations. It is a small country built in ruins. It seems that there are only a few city-states in the country, and there are no special products that are particularly famous. It should only be regarded as a vassal of the Kingdom of Phildias.

What ruins? The ruins of the Calamity of Eternal Night... Cough, these two countries still have some relationship with me, although in this way, there are many countries that have relationship with me on the mainland.

There is no way, the country of Lan was in the extreme north back then, if you want to seek revenge from the Holy Church, you will definitely pass through these countries if you go south, probably it was destroyed by chance back then.

"Ha, I remembered now. Ferdias and I have no enmity. The Eternal Night Legion passed by him back then."

"Well, it has a grudge against Cavens. It was beaten and maimed by the demon army back then, and even the king was killed. The current royal family was migrated from the Inland Kingdom."

I am speechless, what is this? Did we offend all the nearby countries back then?

"To tell the truth, it's true. A demon army invaded south, an undead army invaded south, how much blood feud? How do you think there are so many killers these days? You should be grateful that human beings are short-lived species, and these lords and kings are pure A political animal will not fight you for the blood feud that has been forgotten by the ancestors. If it is a long-lived species, even if the leader can ignore the past enmity, the people will force him to fight with you."

The dead cat showed off the advantages of the longevity species in front of me, but I complained in my heart, "Your elves are not obedient, it's better to have big fists these days." Of course, I won't say it out, after all, I touched the elves Racial dignity or something, dead cats are easy to jump, and I still need her protection now.

"Also, the process of the rise of the two great Lan kingdoms is tantamount to digging out two pieces of land out of nothing. In the past, it was not the seven kingdoms of the North, but the nine kingdoms of the North. What do you think happened in the middle? You can ask Renee, how did her ancestors fight one against three so fiercely?"

In fact, I didn’t take the past too seriously. The other side of the short-lived species is the unstoppable desire/desire derived from lamenting the shortness of life and enjoying pleasure, expanding the territory and becoming an emperor through the ages, probably quite a few The king's dream, the final result, is that the human nobles and the royal family are all bad debts, with a lot of blood relationship between them, and a lot of brain-brained relationship.

Those past events, anyway, the ashes of the death of the person concerned are gone, and only when political needs are needed will they be used as a reason to declare war, such as "Your grandfather killed my uncle and robbed my milk, if you don't pay me the queen If you are a little wife, I will start a war with you", etc., who cares about those old things on weekdays.

"Short-lived species, living in the present is enough, and living in the present is more exciting."

Ignoring the dead cat with a face full of superiority, I devoted my attention to the information. At least judging from the current information, I will deny this application for joining.

Yes, negating, rather than allowing the two countries to join, makes Lan League stronger.

The bigger the country, the better. At least at the moment when the jihad broke out, I just calculated a little bit. Once the two countries join, our defensive boundaries will increase significantly, and we will lose a lot of natural dangers and fortress defenses. The original iron barrel defense is natural There will be loopholes, and if the defense of the two countries is completely ignored... Lanmeng was originally a military defense mutual aid alliance. Once it gives up aid to the member countries, it will also mean the double collapse of the alliance and the hearts of the people.

"Let's collect information first, at least know why they chose to join Lanmeng."

I had a headache, touched the space between my brows, and then put down these scrolls, but those attendants kept bringing in various books and materials.

"History and culture, financial income, military intelligence, the movements of important domestic figures, the real reason for joining the Lan League... The intelligence department seems to be exhausted. By the way, we have to consider the impact on the entire jihad defense system once we join, It seems that the strategic department is going to suffer from insomnia, as well as diplomacy and administration, it’s killing people.”

I shook my head, a little distressed and a little sighed, thinking about it as I walked, and walking when I changed my mind... I just walked to the door, but found that the door was blocked, and the attendants were all smiles, but they refused to let go.

"Don't try to get away! Don't want to skip work! Let's work overtime together until we die!"

Behind the scenes are Renee's deeply resentful words, and my escape plan was once again seen through (to be continued.)
