Chapter 742 The tragedy of fate !

The news that the king wanted to implement the new law spread quickly, especially the regulations on the reform of the nobility, which made the aristocratic district of the king’s capital panic.

In the depths of the aristocratic district, the Cisco family’s mansion, the butler knocked on the door of Mikil’s study: “Master, there are guests visiting.”

At this time, Mikil was covering his face with his hands, leaning his elbows on the desk in thought. After hearing the voice, he immediately replied impatiently: “I said, any nobles who visit during this period will not be seen!”

The king is going to carry out aristocratic reforms. This period of time is quite sensitive, and he doesn’t want to be dragged into trouble for no reason.

The butler shook his head outside the door: “No, the one who came this time is not a nobleman, but Mr. Bram’s younger brother.”

The familiar name brought back memories, startled Mikkel, and murmured, “Eri?”

When he was only a mid-level officer before, he had recruited an officer named Bram, but later Bram died in the War of Independence.

And Eli, who is Bram’s younger brother, took care of Bram a lot after he died in battle.

“What’s he doing here?” Mikkel muttered to himself, his face full of confusion, at this sensitive time, he really didn’t want to get into any trouble.

Only by living hard can we live for a long time…

But Mikil, who originally planned to see him, suddenly remembered Bram’s order to take care of his family, and felt soft: “Forget it, let’s meet again!”

He felt that seeing a commoner should not be involved in political turmoil, so he asked the housekeeper to bring Eli over.

Seeing Eli’s immature face, Mikkil was suddenly in a trance, as if seeing the former Bram.

Although he knew that the two brothers had no actual blood relationship, he couldn’t help but cast Bram’s shadow on Eli.

Mikil smiled and took care of him: “Ah, my good boy, what’s the matter with you coming to see me?”

Eli replied with a determined face: “Brother Mikil, I want to join the army and avenge Brother Bram!”

Mikil’s body froze immediately, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared: “Does your sister-in-law know about this?”

Eli nodded: “I’ve already told her, she asked me to come to you for advice!”

Looking at Eli with a serious face, Mikil fell into silence. He knew very well that the current stability of the Silver Moon Kingdom was just an appearance, and the war with the Empire might restart at any time.

He didn’t want to put Eli on the battlefield after Bram died in the battle, which seemed too cruel.

But he also knew in his heart that since Eli had already made up his mind to join the army, he, an outsider, couldn’t stop him at all.

After thinking for a moment, Mikil sighed: “Well, I’ll look for connections in the military department, how about sending you to the navy?”

Hearing what Mikkel said, Eli seemed a little anxious: “Brother Bram died on the land battlefield, I want to go to the army!”

Unexpectedly, Mikil directly made a decision: “No, in the past ten years, the army’s death rate is as high as 80%, and the navy’s is only 30%. You go to the navy!”

In the past ten years, the silver moon kingdom has experienced several wars, all focusing on the land battlefield, and the army soldiers have basically changed their blood several times.

In contrast, the navy, except for one destruction at the very beginning, is mostly used for confrontation or cleaning up pirates after reconstruction. There are almost no real wars, and the casualty rate will naturally be much smaller.

Bram had already died in battle, and he didn’t want Bram’s younger brother to die in battle, the navy was safer.

The two argued for a while, but in the end, Eli couldn’t hold back Mikil, the military leader, and could only return with a feeling of excitement and disappointment.

The excitement is because I can finally join the army and avenge Brother Bram, but the disappointment is that I can’t go to the army where the war is fierce, but can only go to the relatively comfortable navy.

Seeing Eli’s leaving back, Mikkiel sighed again: “It really looks like it!”

 …

In the palace, the king met Guy, the commander-in-chief of the fleet alone.

A map was flattened on the desk, and Simon pointed to the map and said: “Look, the Silver Moon Kingdom is located in the south of the mainland, and it is the dividing point of the coastline on the southern side of the mainland.

From the perspective of the inland situation, the Red Scorpion Khanate lies to the west, the empire lies to the north, and several principalities that highly support the empire lie to the east. It is impossible to get through easily.

And the coastline on the southwestern side of the mainland is all orc countries, and it is impossible for us to start exchanges and trade with them.

Only the coastline on the southeast side of the mainland, although the empire has a high influence, but the naval strength is not enough to dominate the sea battlefield. ”

Guy asked solemnly: “You mean, use the navy to break the empire’s blockade?”

Simon nodded in agreement: “Yes, we need a navy that is always strong, powerful enough to defeat the Imperial Navy, and even the navy that can defeat the entire sea power of the Holy Alliance of Humanity!”

Guy frowned: “It is very difficult to develop such a navy. Do you have any ideas?”

Unlike the army, the navy itself is a money-burning arm. Currently, the three fleets of the Silver Moon Kingdom have a total of 36 warships.

And among these three fleets, there is one that actually belongs to the Blue Kingdom, but in order not to attract the attention of the empire, the Blue Royal Family temporarily put it under the name of the Silver Moon Kingdom for foster care.

In other words, there are only twenty-four battleships that truly belong to the Silver Moon Kingdom, and the total number of warships of the Holy Alliance of Humanity is likely to exceed a thousand.

No matter how advanced the battleships of the Silver Moon Kingdom are, they are still wooden battleships with sails in essence. Faced with this absolute difference in numbers, it is impossible to win.

Simon nodded: “Yes, Silvermoon Kingdom is a small country and cannot develop a large-scale naval fleet, so I plan to build a new fleet, an elite fleet made of pure steel!”

The caliber is justice, and the range is the truth. It is time for the world to redefine these two words!

Guy narrowed his eyes: “Steel Fleet? As long as you have an idea!”

Simon said solemnly: “After you go back, you must train the navy well. In the future, we will definitely have a shocking sea battle with the empire!”

 …

In the depths of the aristocratic district, a group of nobles with masks and mysterious robes, obviously engaged in shady activities, gathered in a certain underground room.

This room, which has been secretly passed down since ancient times, has always been a secret of the nobles. Even the kings and popes of the Silvermoon Kingdom do not know about it.

The floor, ceiling, and surrounding walls of the room are densely engraved with runes, which can even prevent the prying eyes of legendary powerhouses, so that nobles can conspire here.

From ancient times to the present, I don’t know how many conspiracies have been born here…

And today, in order to deal with this powerful king, this room was activated again!

“Mr. Lauren, anyone who enters this room must keep their identities secret, and any conversations in this room are not allowed to be leaked. This has been a rule since ancient times. Why don’t you pretend?”

Looking at Lauren who entered the room majesticly without any disguise, the other nobles in the room expressed their dissatisfaction.

Lauren sneered: “Does it make sense to disguise your identity? Could it be that the people gathered here can’t guess whose identity it is?”

All the nobles fell silent one after another. Indeed, a group of people usually get along day and night in the noble district, but now even if they put on a disguise, everyone can basically guess who is who.

Disguise your identity, just to make yourself feel at ease…

After the silence, a nobleman with a relatively high status opened his mouth to reveal the matter: “Ahem, since everyone has arrived, let’s officially start!”

One of the people below retorted: “The Patriarch Sissoko hasn’t come yet!”

Lauren gave him a blank look: “Please, can you have some brains, those who didn’t come obviously plan to completely surrender to the king!”

The man was startled: “What, then they won’t betray us?!”

The reason for plotting here is because it is hidden enough, and once someone betrays, this room will not be safe.

The nobleman who spoke first shook his head: “No, the rule of this room is that you can not participate, but you are absolutely not allowed to disclose it, otherwise the family it belongs to will be wiped out by all of us. Those who did not come will never Take that risk and inform the king.”

In fact, the reason is also very simple.

If the conspiracy in this room is successful, the families of those who did not come will be slightly affected at most, and the inheritance will not be broken.

After all, we are all in the same noble group, and the first consideration is the interests of this group.

But once they choose to inform, they have to risk the family’s destruction to attract hatred for the king. Such benefits are completely out of proportion to the risks they have to bear.

The reason why those people didn’t dare to come was that they were cautious and fearful, so they chose to wait and see, so how could they take such a risk?

Thinking of this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but some people were still worried: “Although this room can prevent the legendary powerhouse from peeping, what if the gods cast their eyes?”

They can’t be blamed for being cautious, after all, once the things plotted here are found out, their heads will be moved immediately, and the whole family will be implicated by the way.

Also, this king is not just a king, he is also the Pope of the Moonlight Church, the darling of the Moonlight Goddess.

When the time comes, what should we do?

Lauren smiled and took out a pocket statue: “A gift from the God of Shadows, even the Moon Goddess can’t detect the existence of this room!”

The God of Shadows As a member of the human gods, the Shadow Church is also an important part of the temple of the gods.

Not to mention, Simon also killed a legendary high-ranking member of their Shadow Church. This kind of deep hatred is simply irreconcilable, and he will naturally spare no effort to support Simon’s opponents.

Seeing this shimmering miracle statue, everyone’s eyes lit up, it’s a good thing!

Seeing this, Lauren smiled triumphantly, and then put the statue back into his cuffs. This kind of memorable thing should be put away!

The noble who presided over the meeting cleared his throat and said, “Now that everyone has eliminated their concerns, let’s talk about how to reform the king’s nobles?!”

“This humble **** with impure blood, I have long seen that he has bad intentions. I shouldn’t have chosen him as king in the first place!”

“That’s right, when UU Reading www.uukanshu.com he abolished the lordship system, we should have seen his wolfish ambitions, and joined forces with the lords to kill him, what a pity!

After confirming that the news in this room would not be spread outside, the nobles completely let go of themselves, and the unsightly yelling and cursing were endless.

The aristocratic reform announced by Simon this time abolished most of the privileges of the aristocrats. It was obvious that the aristocratic class would be beaten to death with a stick. How could they not hate it!

The noble who presided over the meeting coughed twice: “Everyone, shouting and scolding cannot solve any problems, but it insults the elegance of the nobles. Let’s discuss practical actions!”

The body of the noble who was scolding froze at the same time, drooping his head like a defeated rooster, and the room became silent again.

It was precisely because they were unable to resist the king that they only dared to hide in this room and yell, so as to vent their grievances.

Let them really resist Simon, they really dare not!

Seeing that no one spoke, a nobleman sighed in despair and pain: “The king’s army is so powerful, and the lords have already been defeated. They don’t even have an army at hand. How can we resist the king?!”

Everyone in the room felt it and sighed.

Only Lauren snorted coldly with disdain: “Without an army in our hands, can we not resist the king?”

“My lords, don’t forget that we are nobles. Although we don’t have swords, we still have lies and deceit! Daggers and poison!”

“Aren’t these the best tricks of nobles?!”

Hearing this, the frustration in the room immediately dissipated, everyone’s eyes lit up, and they showed chilling smiles.

Indeed, how can he easily admit defeat if he has not used his good tricks!
