For a long time, no dynasty could avoid the law of establishment, development, prosperity, prosperity, decline, reform, and extinction. Laing could generally call it the cycle of dynasties.
It had to be said that when the first Knight King established the country, the Knight King's system was advanced and reasonable. After the twelve founding wars, the entire Brittany only had one or two hundred villages and twenty to thirty castles. Generally speaking, there was only one settlement in the entire Kingdom of the Knight King.
At that time, the feudal system was completely correct. The operation after the second Knight King, "Reckless" Lewis, established the Knight King's Code of Knights wasn't necessarily bad. On the contrary, Brittany at that time rapidly entered a period of rapid expansion and prosperity, which laid the foundation for the third Knight King, "White Reaper" Guillaume's political and military achievements.
However, with the changes of time and environment, the previous system was not necessarily suitable for the background and people of this time. There were various problems, and there were various changes. Most of these changes were "treating the head when it hurts," and slowly went against the original intention of the system at that time, and finally led to its demise.
In this regard, the Emperor had the most right to speak. Laing knew from the Emperor that before the Emperor revealed his true nature to mankind, the Lord of Mankind had already made many subtle changes to mankind. The Emperor had established many religions and incarnated as a ruler, and established many codes of law. However, no matter how hard the Lord of Mankind tried to lead mankind on the right track, he always went astray in the end.
Then, the Emperor would be depressed to see that the things he had formulated were taken out and approved in large batches. If one looked at it from a God's perspective, even the Emperor's words and codes of law were not without problems and shortcomings. Because of these shortcomings, the Emperor would be criticized for his ignorance and shortsightedness as the system's creator at that time, completely ignoring the general environment and human situation at the time of formulation.
This was very childish.
Of course, we must understand that most people have an unrealistic expectation about the "system". Everybody hopes that there can be a universal and unchangeable "Canon of Astarte". It seems that all the problems have to be calculated from the Regent of the Empire, Prime Minister Makado of the Empire, and even from the Lord of Human Beings, but the changes of the environment and the changes of personnel after that are not considered at all is unreasonable.
Therefore, it was no wonder that the Imperial Emperor decided to reveal his true colors to Tara and the entire human race.
To Laing, the knight system was no longer suitable after the incident in Dore's Tower. It was time for a reformation. It was time for a reformation or even a reboot of the kingdom.
In the fog, Laing said to François and Kalard, "Think about it carefully and you will understand."
"Your Majesty, do you think that knights and nobles have to walk into the garbage dump of history?" François was silent for a long time. "But if that's the case, the kingdom will be in chaos. You have already caused a lot of dissatisfaction when you abolished the nobles' privileges."
"I spent ten years to make the whole kingdom understand that serfs can also become knights." Laing smiled. "I spent another ten years to make the whole kingdom understand that serfs can also enter the Old Guard and have a chance to obtain the Holy Grail. I still have another ten years, twenty years. Besides, it's not that I didn't give the knights and nobles a chance. It's very simple. Prove it to me on the battlefield. Look at the Empire on the other side of the mountain. Have the knights of the Empire ever left the stage? After Ludwig's reformation, have the military nobles ever been chased out of the center of the Empire? "
"The knights and nobles are just afraid. They are afraid that once the serfs rise, those bumpkins will break their iron rice bowl and tarnish their bloodline and glory. They are afraid that once the serfs begin to understand discipline and armed themselves, the advantage of the knights will be completely lost," Laing said meaningfully. "But I am not afraid."
François and Kalard's faces instantly turned pale. Yes, Laing is not afraid. The Sun King has already won the hearts of all the serfs and free people.
François opened his mouth. His father-in-law wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not say anything. He just nodded silently and finally muttered, "Your Majesty, if you have any other requests in the future, just let me know."
"I will always follow you, Your Majesty." Kalard suddenly had a deeper thought in his heart.
It seemed that François had reservations about Laing's opinion, but he did not oppose it in the end. Kalad wondered if it had something to do with the fact that Suria was Laing's wife and that Devenhill was likely to become the next Knight King in the future.
"Very well. Let's get ready for the upcoming war." Laing nodded with satisfaction when he saw that both François and Kalad supported his decision.
"We must win this war," Laing said firmly, "no matter the cost."
"The Water God Sect's miraculous rain needs to be saluted with waves." The stone formation lit up.
"The heartless Razcoto needs fearless warriors to awaken him."
"Lastly, the mysterious Feathered Serpent God Talbok requires the power of wings to manifest!"
"Praise from the Seven Ancient Sages and Seven Kings. The Seven Seals are dedicated to the essence of the forest."
"Flesh and blood to the Serpent God, purification to the Ancient Sage."
… I am the dividing line for the activation of the summoning ritual …
Just as Obien's army of knights was doing their best to build a wall to defend against the army inside and outside the city …
South of the Old World, Wasteland, Sea Gate.
A few high elves' dragon boats successfully arrived at the dock of Sea Gate. The little Eternal Queen Alissanda, who was wearing a transparent princess collar petticoat with white gothic gilded snowflake patterned stockings and round-headed princess sandals, led an entire group of high elves onto the land of Sea Gate.
As soon as Alissanda appeared, almost all the male creatures on the dock held their breaths. The elegant Alissanda slowly walked down the ladder, and the sound of her heels hitting the ground hit the hearts of all the male creatures. She was like a white lotus, exuding a moving fragrance and cleansing the dark corners of everyone's hearts.
It was difficult to describe the little queen's charm with words. Her appearance was pure and elegant, but her every move was enchanting. Her figure was slender and delicate, as if she had been carefully carved from celestial jade. Just from her temperament alone, Alisala's skin was as cold as snow. But when she opened her mouth or smiled, it was as warm as snow in spring or as warm as the sun in winter, causing one to feel tender affection for her.
Everyone on the pier was dumbfounded.
The high elves seemed to be very disgusted by all this. The shield-wielding Lothern Sea Guards and the maids of Avalon immediately escorted Alissanda down the ladder and guarded her. The dwarf's messenger, the relative of the Supreme King Solgrin, the chief of the dwarves, and the chief of the dwarves, Dolin Ironhelm from the Eternal Peak, was in charge of welcoming the high elves.
This time, in order to welcome the High Elves, the Dwarves of Eternity Peak had put in a lot of effort. A large legion of a thousand people was sent to the Sea Gate Pass, including a team of Eternity Peak Guards (about thirty to fifty people). For the population of Eternity Peak, which was only about one hundred and sixty thousand people, a legion of a thousand people was enough etiquette.
Dolin was a relatively young dwarf (more than a hundred years old). The Supreme King seemed to want to let his junior gain some experience. He led the Eternal Guardians closer, patted his chest gently with the runic warhammer, and said in the common language (which was the human language of the High Goths), which he was not very familiar with, "Granny, welcome, emissary of Azur, welcome, princess of Avalon, may your vitality be as strong as the fire in the blast furnace."
"What a mess of a metaphor." Tolendill, the son of the Dragon King of Kaldor, said in a strange voice in the elven language, "If I'm going to be in the same mountain as the dwarves, it's better to kill me. Hakong, hurry up and use the earthquake to kill these dwarves, and the world will be at peace."
The dwarves did not understand what the Dragon Prince was saying, and the archmage of the White Tower, Alamir, did not speak the dwarven language. The little queen Alisala took the initiative to step forward. She first smiled sweetly, reached out her hand to press the hem of her skirt, and took a step back slightly to salute the dwarf emissary. She said to the dwarf emissary, "The giant eagle flew to the old world, and the warhorse galloped to the evil land. After thousands of years, I'm very happy to see the elves and dwarves again. I'm very happy to see you all, former allies of Azur. May Granny bless your hammers, Grimnir bless your axes, and Valaya bless your cloaks and wine glasses."
"Oh ho!" Alisala's words made the dwarves feel as good as if they had drunk a barrel of the best Bargmann stout. The dwarf chief, Dolin Ironhelm, thought that it would be great if the elves could speak like this little girl.
The Dwarves had already reserved a high-end tavern and a block of land for the High Elf envoys to stay.
The group of people walked through the block under the lead of the dwarf emissary. Most people looked at the group of people curiously, especially the humans who saw the little queen. Many men were already smiling like pigs, and they could not even walk.
This made the dwarves feel even more disgusted. They thought to themselves that this was the extent of the monkeys.
Alisala, however, did not think so much. The little queen's bright green eyes noticed a blanket that was doing business at the end of the alley.
Dong! A machete swung down. A huge barbarian with a golden braid, wearing a full body armor blessed by the ancient sages, and a giant gray wolf skin draped over his back, chopped a roast duck in half. At the same time, he said in a very impatient tone, "Do you want to go to the village or the village?"
"Yes, the village, and the neck too." A dwarf butcher nodded.
"Okay, I'll give you the duck head too." The barbarian chopped up the roast duck in a few slices, then took out a package of oil paper, tied it up skillfully, and handed it to the dwarf butcher. "Fifteen copper coins in total."
The dwarf butcher took out a handful of copper coins. The barbarian took the money and urged the dwarf beside him, "Hurry up, Bjorn, it's almost time."
"Yes, sir."
Right beside the barbarian, there was another barbarian with a silver wolf helmet and full body armor. Lightning was flowing in his body, and he was assisting the barbarian. He had a giant iron claw in one hand, and the other hand was taking a few roast geese out of the oven.
"Fenris Deep Well Ice Roast Duck, Anaheim style, roast chicken, roast duck, roast goose, beef, lamb, pork chops, and shredded chicken! Fenris Honey Wine (specially diluted version) and secret barbecued pork sauce for free! "
"Freshly roast geese, two silver coins each! Hurry up if you want to buy! "
Alissanda's heart skipped a beat.
Another demigod! Selling roast duck on the street of Haimen Pass?!
A demigod selling beef offal, and a demigod selling roast duck? Do you human demigods like to sell snacks on the street so much?
The little queen wanted to see more, but the dwarf envoy signaled that they had arrived. Thus, the little queen and the others entered the tavern arranged for them to stay in.
The tavern was very much in the style of the dwarves. It was simple and sturdy. The high elves habitually complained that the ceiling was too low, the bar was too low, and the bench was too uncomfortable to sit on. The atmosphere was dull, and they couldn't see the sun, so they sat down one after another.
There was no time to rest, or perhaps Dorin didn't know how to read the situation. The dwarves quickly arranged for a large group of merchants, local craftsmen, representatives of the King of Haimen Pass, the messenger sent by Lucian, and the border baron, Durant, to visit the little queen.
When Durant saw Alisala, he almost drooled. It took him a lot of effort to hold back and reach out to shake the little queen's hand. However, he was immediately stopped by the Eternal Queen's maid, Josparis Daltrian. The maid shook her head in disgust and said, "Thank you, but it's fine. Her Highness is tired and needs to rest."
Durant left in a hurry. The border baron cursed in his heart. He didn't want to help escort the little queen. He felt insulted, so he directly left Haimen Pass with his people.
No matter what, the border baron had his dignity. He felt insulted.
The Dragon Prince of Kaledor, Torendier, leaned on the table with a half-dead look. When someone came to greet him, Torendier didn't even bother to lift his eyelids. He just looked at the person with his nostrils and snorted as a response.
"Hello, Your Highness, Dragon Prince of Kaledor."
"Hmph!"
"Welcome, Descendant of Kaledor."
"Hmph!"
"It's our honor to see the Dragon Prince of Kaledor again after thousands of years."
"Hmph!"
"Hey, pointy ears, what are you doing in Haimen Pass?" At this time, a rough and wild voice sounded. Torendier subconsciously wanted to snort again as a response. However, when he saw who it was, the dragon prince was so shocked that he jumped up from his seat.
A living demigod was standing in front of him!
