Chapter 855: Elda's New Force

The people of Elda became examiners of the nobles, and some nobles were able to submit a satisfactory answer sheet - such as the new nobles like Duke Wenxiang, who did have some minor problems and were also fence-sitters. But they had never done evil. They usually did a lot of good things, so there was no chaos in the territory. In other words, some grassroots corrupt officials were reported or simply taken out by mercenaries and the people.

Duke Wenxiang naturally put justice above his relatives and let everyone clean up those rats - so Duke Wenxiang actually got a good reputation. He was very discerning and surrendered to the shelter at the first time.

Some nobles were misers - such as Earl Benjamin of the Sky Eagle. Or the old nobles of this city. After being cleaned up by the people, they became honest. And those arbitrators who rushed over also appeased the public anger in time, took over the territory in the name of the Cathedral of Dawn and His Highness Alfonso, and did some construction and farming for those mediocre lords.

But some lords are evil - they naturally cannot submit an answer sheet that satisfies the people, and the result is naturally the same as what the old farmer said, they deserve to be beaten to death.

The work done by the Sanctuary in Elda, the upper leaders of Elda have already compromised - such as Saint Wilmick, Alfonso, Canglan, or the old king who is hiding in the palace.

So the nobles of Elda can't stir up any waves at all.

Occasionally, the great lords who can suppress the riots are basically dealt with by the southern wilderness bandits like Moss, or the source of disasters like Tanya.

According to Gavi's words - just these garbage lords? I can lead my troops to push forward and it will take less than a year to deal with it.

In this long-rotten transition, the spread of the Sanctuary thought is surprisingly fast. In this fog, people have longed for the light for a long time, and the countless teams of the Sanctuary are raindrops that make Elda bloom everywhere.

The number of rangers is now huge, and every town has its backbone - mostly local people.

This trend of thought in Elda not only awakened the power of the people, but also affected the superstructure. For the first time, the nobles realized that 'water can carry a boat but can also overturn it', and many leaders also thought about the true meaning of the word 'people'.

Alfonso also began to think.

The old king, representing the power of the Holy Court and the old noble lords, tried his best to suppress the development of the people, the development of commerce and the popularization of magical knowledge.

In recent decades, the changes in the Moon Kingdom have deeply affected Elda, allowing Elda's wizards and upstarts to rise. The old monarch could not represent their interests, nor could he be their protector. The contradiction between the two sides became more and more obvious.

So Alfonso seized this opportunity, and the new nobles and the Chamber of Commerce also set their sights on the fourth prince - he had an irreconcilable conflict with the first heir of Elda, and they also had common interests - to build a magic empire like the Moon Kingdom where the monarch could hold the divine power and the royal power in his hands at the same time, a paradise for merchants and wizards.

So Alfonso became the leader of the new power in Elda - the Canglan family, the leader of the Elda Chamber of Commerce, was the first to defect. It was not until the black tide came that the old nobles headed by Robert gathered the hearts of the people across the country in the name of the holy war, and the Grand Duke Canglan, a fence-sitter, left Alfonso behind.

Now Alfonso's former mortal enemies - the old nobles, no longer have the powerful power they once had. The newly rising nobles have gathered around Alfonso, and as for the Grand Duke Canglan, he has once again stood by Alfonso. Became one of the leaders of the new nobles. He advocated trade and strengthening the rights of the parliament. He did not want Robert to become the new king and continue to suppress the development of the Elda Chamber of Commerce. The two sides had common interests. They fought against the old feudal aristocratic forces headed by the old king together with Alfonso.

But according to the original history, Alfonso had a new ally around him - the guild.

Mercenary guilds, magic guilds, chambers of commerce, farmers' associations, trade unions, etc. Their power should not be underestimated and is an important weight to overwhelm the old nobles. They represent the lowest level of the Elda people. They also represent the shelter.

They are entering the parliament.

Alfonso suddenly discovered that while the shelter integrated the entire Elda power for him, it also held the entire Elda firmly in its hands, just like the Holy Court back then.

But this new Holy Court is somewhat different from the Holy Court in the past.

Occasionally, Alfonso would be very troubled and confused - according to the consistent attitude for thousands of years, the next step should be to kill his father and the first heir of Elda in the name of the divine right to sit on the throne of thorns.

But he always felt that it might be more appropriate to use the phrase "people grant the monarchy".

And this throne of thorns began to become difficult to understand - the person sitting on this throne could be a puppet who only eats and waits for death, or a king with lofty ideals and goals. But the only thing that cannot be is the authoritarian, dictatorial, and incompetent person.

He must always stand with more people.

Alfonso began to change his mindset. He began to win over those guilds and began to use their power to check and balance the rising nouveau riche. He also thought about the role and status that the guilds should occupy in the future United Kingdom of Elda.

Alfonso often saw that he could no longer see clearly what the future development of Elda and even the world would look like.

And even George often has this thought-this world is too different from his hometown. What he knows cannot be fully applied here. All he can do is break the shackles of the old era and build the skeleton of a new world.

A new order is gradually coming to perfection in this chaotic world. Many thinkers are also considering the future according to the circumstances. The skeleton built by George is being continuously improved. George would often look through the books written by scholars, constantly learning and changing.

At present, after the old nobles have been disturbed, they either cannot afford to raise troops, or the troops are disorganized. Therefore, the private soldiers in many Elda territories were either 'borrowed' by Alfonso, or they joined various guilds.

These private soldiers joined the private soldiers just for a meal, and it was inevitable that they would follow the shelter. Moreover, they not only provide food, but also provide military pay, teach literacy, and allocate farmland!

The most important thing is, look at the eyes of the common people when they look at the "Rangers" - it's the same way they look at heroes! Let the private soldiers have a great sense of belonging and honor.

The situation of the knights in Elda is similar. The knights who have no territory basically go out to hang out. But they look down on the mud-legged people in the mercenary group. They longed for honor and fame, so they focused on two places - the 'White Lion Mercenary Knights' jointly formed by the Great Temple and Alfonso, and the Glory Mercenary Knights of Grand Duke Canglan.

In fact, he also joined the mercenaries

The great knights inside are also mud-legged.
