Humans are not as good as heaven, and it is up to people to make things happen. I don't know how many times I have said such nonsense, but according to the rhythm of the development of the story, those who say lines with similar meanings should soon hit the street.
No matter how great plans and conspiracies are, if they are unlucky, they will fall short due to various messy reasons. Heh, the wheel of fate has turned, and it is not certain that the hairy boy of a certain hotel is the protagonist of those legendary novels.
After years of summarization, someone has now concluded the three laws of conspiracy and bankruptcy - killing the protagonist's father/master and other respectful elders, kidnapping/robbing the protagonist's beloved girlfriend, and finding a former genius to break off the marriage. The common point of the three is probably one - Offended the protagonist. ...Ahem, it seems that no matter which world it is, legendary novels are very routine.
Well, I've always been talking about fiction.
While sometimes fiction is stranger than reality, for the most part, fiction is fiction and reality is reality.
In reality, the success rate of conspiracy and trickery is very high. After all, neither the planner nor the executor is a fool. Since the master who can plan a conspiracy to cover the sky has reached the execution stage, most of them already have a certainty.
In order to ascend to the throne, a certain marquis family waited for the royal family to die out for a hundred years, and successively assassinated four members of the royal family who might succeed to the throne, and finally succeeded in ascending the throne... Well, I am talking about the current San Antonio, their crowns can come. Not kind at all.
Don't the big nobles in the country know how this crown came from? Were the ex-royals defenseless? In fact, the royal family has long known that the Marquis of Mist was very ambitious, and even knew how the princes died in accidents, but the Mist family held the military power and the loyalty of one-third of the great nobles. , I can only watch myself dying step by step.
In those legends, the boy with the head of hair saved the princess in distress forever and finally revives the royal family to become the king of a country. I have often heard of it, but I have never seen it. It is the ugly and old "villain" in those stories that finally succeeded. Then, by the way, he married the princess of the previous royal family and gave birth to several children, and the number of those who seized the orthodoxy was countless.
There is no other reason. Conspirators are often only powerful. Ambition often comes from the corresponding power and strength. Nobles are stronger than the royal family. Naturally, there will be ambitions to replace them. However, there are very few who still follow the original covenant and loyalty. Even those conspiracies are about to become conspiracies, and the rebels of today are the past of the newly crowned tomorrow.
The current civil war in the Principality of Sala is an example, but it is not an isolated example. In the past few years, there have been so many rebellions, rebellions, assassinations, and civil wars that they have not been able to make headlines. Even if several super empires are still trying to restrain, but The smaller the country, the worse the chaos.
If you just use the jihad period to explain the continuous outbreak of civil wars and rebellions, I am afraid it is too taken for granted. Judging from the intelligence of the goblins and the Lan Alliance, many of them have traces of other races and forces intervening.
A certain great noble suddenly got a certain powerful artifact, a certain lord has a few more super-mages of different races, a certain principality suddenly has a few orc tribes to take refuge, and a sudden appearance of a counselor greatly expands a certain The military power of a warlord... These strange news have been common in the past few years, but the following developments are more common. Either the lord whose strength has expanded "due to destiny" begins to rebel, or the king who feels threatened starts to clear the door.
The expansion piece of the "vulture of war" in "History" has appeared before us in another form - civil strife and civil war of the nobles.
For the vast majority of countries, the civil war between neighbors in this period is the most annoying. If you don't care about it, it will burn on you. If you don't care about it, the hat of interfering in internal affairs and invasion will be detained immediately. on the head.
Of course, some ambitious kings and grand dukes took it as a great opportunity, so the war became more and more prosperous, and the civil war became an international war.
As far as I know, several superpowers, including Bayer, Ciro, and San Antonio, have made a lot of money in private in the past few years, but this is the internal affairs of other countries, and outsiders cannot interfere at all.
This is a disaster for a small country, but a trivial matter for a big country? No, it's super troublesome to anyone.
A war that is only won but not lost, the expansion of the territory of a big country not only makes the status of the royal family more stable, but also benefits the domestic market, nobles, and soldiers. The people of the big country are more and more eager for more wars, and the desire of the domestic people is forcing the king and the nobles. Wage more wars... that's the big trouble.
If this is a conspiracy on the Chaos side, I have to say that it is really beautiful.
A few wild powerhouses, a group of non-human natives, a few cultists, a good weapon, a bit of new technology, and a few bags of gold coins, as long as they are used well, they can plunge a country into civil strife. It is the living force of the whole plane.
The Principality of Sala is the most obvious example. The civil war between the lords is not a class change. In the end, no matter who wins in the end, it is inevitable that the country's comprehensive strength and population will drop sharply. There is no such thing as a real victory. However, overall and in the long run, everyone loses.
A civil war of limited size? When the war really starts, it will not be so easy to stop.
It's hard to stop this kind of behavior. It is common for careerists to see if they have strength to support them. Can we still check the lord's aides and subordinates one by one? Don't let those noble lords try to improve their strength? Considering the general and complete autonomy of the current feudal aristocracy, this is not even possible for the royal family of their own country.
This is not the style of the devil. They start it straight away when they come up. Instead, they are like those devils who specialize in disgusting people. This kind of trick will not see results in a short time, but if it drags on for a long time, it will weaken the entire human race.
Perhaps it was the betrayal of some devil monarchs and the departure of the will of the abyss, which made the remaining devil bosses change their usual jihadist neutrality, eager to show their position and ability.
Well, this is another main quest that I chose to stay in the Duchy of Sara. I originally planned to see who was behind the marquis and whether I could find out anything, although there was little hope of catching the culprit along the line. , but at least you can try it, at least know that those bastards from the lower planes are doing things.
"Tsk, the calculations were all messed up, and I actually encountered this kind of thing. Am I really the legendary death pupil? Why am I so unlucky when things happen there."
"The one who should be called unlucky should be that Taring. He almost succeeded in taking the position. If it hadn't met you, the hundred years of planning would have been in vain."
From this point of view, the founder of Taling is also a remarkable conspirator. At least he started the layout hundreds of years ago, patiently waited until the holy war period to start operations, and used adventurers to take away important key pieces, and then Trigger undead wars to obliterate key pieces and gain independence for the entire clan.
But from the moment an accident happened, the conspiracy of the undead emperor and the founder was doomed to go bankrupt.
"The only mistake they made was to offend the protagonist! Me!"
"...Are you sure it was your protagonist's luck, not the halo of disaster that came with you? Those 'reinforcements' seem to be here to hunt you down."
I was speechless. The undead natural disaster, which would have caused terrible disasters and consequences, was blocked. The most critical turning point was that Amela came with the wood spirit, and the assault team here was able to handle it, thanks to Renee.
"Dead cat, will you really die if you don't spit?"
"meeting!"
And when the dead cat and I stared at each other, finally someone couldn't stand it any longer.
"Be serious, it's a war!"
Even though I'm reminding myself that it's a battlefield, I can't take it seriously.
The downward passage was opened, and the demons did come up, but Renee was blocked there, and I saw the silver sword flying, the spear drawing arcs, and then... No more, the flesh and the sword light flew together, I Haven't seen what a complete demon looks like so far.
"Rene is so fighting spirit, she is showing her progress. By the way, is this the sword skill you taught?"
"Tsk, I didn't teach this kind of sword skill only for gorillas."
I'm not blind, how can I not see the style of this sword skill, I did teach Renee how to fight and skill, but this one is so honest, using instinct and perception more than rational orangutan sword skill, Only the simple and crude brain of Cavens would use it.
And although Renee's outbreak is surprising, I don't think those demons can pose a threat to Renee, and I can take the opportunity to be lazy and plan for the future.
Well, plan the future, plan the future of this relic, plan the future of this huge legacy.
In my opinion, when Amyra and her fleet came, and we eliminated the most troublesome "Heng", unless two main gods suddenly jumped out, I don't think anyone would be able to let the duck fly Lose.
There are no treasures of gold coins that make adventurers crazy, but the tattered pieces encountered along the way are actually treasures that are a hundred times more valuable than gold coins.
Maybe I am not a qualified engineer, but at least I can speculate a little about the evolution of a civilization from the creation and tools.
Self-disciplined machines, artificial souls, the design and construction of various never-before-seen machines, semi-mechanical and semi-undead creations, and spiritual creatures that can imitate the fluctuations of other people’s souls have gone beyond what previous sage civilizations have excavated. In sum, it can be called a super bumper harvest.
It is just a special space that can communicate with other planes. It is of great use value for the Chaos side, and for us, it is also valuable.
If these news are leaked, it is foreseeable that a more intense civil war in the Principality of Sara will be triggered. Maybe some major powers will find a reason to invade. .
"Perhaps, it is safer to keep this gate and keep the ruins in a state of 'war'."
Many thoughts and ghost ideas were still hesitating in my mind, but Katarina, the real orthodox owner of this ruin, walked up to me and seemed to have something to say.
