Arcane Lord

There is no doubt that this seemingly fair separation of powers is actually an out-and-out trap.

Because there are more than one third among the nobles who are Andre’s supporters, and the Wizards’ Association is his back garden, which means that if this proposal is passed, the power of Linton City will be stabilized. Landed firmly on his hand.

Regardless of whether Lauretta chooses internal affairs or military affairs, she will encounter various difficulties in the next few months, just like a rope hanging around her neck, little by little lock , Until strangled people to death.

To give the simplest example, if Lauretta chooses the military, Andre, who controls internal affairs, can cut military spending through various excuses, so that the officers of the city defense army learn to deduct military payments and become more and more Corruption will eventually completely lose combat effectiveness. By then, they will use this as an excuse to challenge the opponents completely from the political arena.

Of course, Lauretta can also pay for the army by himself, but the problem is that if he does this, he will also give Andre an excuse for trouble. No matter what he does, he will always be wrong.

As for choosing internal affairs, it’s even simpler. He has no army, which means he has no resistance. Andre can enforce martial law and search in the city at any time in the name of arresting the enemy. It doesn’t take two or three. By the end of the month, the economic situation in the city will drop a thousand zhang in one fall, when the time comes, you can also use this as an excuse to oust the other party.

Political struggles have always been ugly and omnipotent, so Andre didn’t have any mental burdens from beginning to end. When he stood up and gave tit for tat with Laurel, he You must play the role of a good politician. Otherwise, you are not responsible for yourself and your allies.

As a wise man, he knows very well that many people will die in this political storm, and many more will fall into the abyss and become worthless ever since.

But compared to the tens of thousands of civilians in Linton City, the death of some nobles is better than the destruction of the entire city.

Laureta is not an idiot, on the contrary, she is very smart, so she saw through this trap deliberately set up for herself.

But the problem is that he can’t directly refute it, let alone deny it, otherwise he will appear to be wild ambition, causing further suspicion and panic among the noble congressmen.

Looking at Andre’s faint smile face, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be underestimating the enemy, and he was not fully prepared, resulting in a very passive situation.

There is no hesitation!

I didn’t do more entanglement either!

Laureta immediately gave up the idea of ​​seizing all rights, pretending to be convincing, and said: “Your wisdom amazes me! As the last duke of this city, I suggest immediately Initiate a vote to see how many people support this new mode of operation!”

“The last duke? No, no, no, not one duke, but two.” Andre said slightly Cocked, stretched out his right hand and shook his index finger gently. “Just before Duke Georgie and Duke Alexander were killed, they had joined hands to nominate a person to replace the position vacated by Duke Ian. This person is Duke Anastasia. The two dukes are in charge of the military and the other. Internal affairs, this is the balance, isn’t it?”

Obviously, Andre wants to take advantage of the victory and pursue, completely close his opponent to a dead end.

“Yes! We are all witnesses!” Old George stood up first.

“Yes! Me too!”

“Me too!”

……

Under his leadership, conservatives One after another stood up and loudly agreed, showing their strength, and at the same time staring provocatively at the radicals of Western Mountain, many people who set up Sect were also infected and actively joined them. After a while, half of the venues All the people above stood up.

As for the rest of the people’s faces are a bit ugly, they all cast their eyes on Laureta on the podium, waiting for him to send a counterattack signal.

But it is a pity that Laurelta not at all, like ordinary politicians, seize the last chance to be Final Struggle.

He is a man who can afford to let go. He quickly took two steps forward and posted to Andre’s ear said with a smile: “My dear opponent, you won this time, but Don’t be too proud, we still have a lot of opportunities to fight next time, next time I won’t take it lightly. Besides, since you want to be the Guardian of this city, then I might as well give it to you first and see if you can You can hold it.”

“Hehe, I hope you can find such a good excuse to justify yourself next time.” Andre counterattacked without showing weakness.

He can feel Laureta’s emotions that are gradually starting to lose control, and he is very eager for the other party to do it immediately, so that he can solve everything in the simplest and most direct way.

“Excuse me? No, I don’t need to excuse myself. Failure is failure. I just want to tell you that this is just the beginning. Then you will gradually see all the power I have “After that, a strange color flashed in Laureta’s eyes, and in front of everyone, she turned and left the council hall.

He didn’t even bother to explain to the nobles who supported him, and he didn’t even intend to hold a part of his rights, but gave up completely.

If you have to use one word to describe it, it is the pit of gods. About 40% of the nobles are completely pitted to death and become victims of political struggle. What awaits them will be the purge of ruthless.

Staring at two cold eyes, Andre patrolled everyone present, and then said in a slightly proud voice: “Everyone! Just now! The respectable Duke Laureta has agreed to let me Come to take over his position temporarily and preside over this emergency meeting. Since more than half of the congressmen present agree with my proposal, let’s start voting now.”

Shocked!

Silence!

The abandoned nobles quickly showed desperate eyes, because they knew that as long as they wait for the vote to pass, they will lose their rights completely. The best end is to keep their property and a noble title. Maybe they will be suppressed and forced to leave the city.

In contrast, conservatives, especially George, have begun to shake hands and hug their allies to celebrate the upcoming victory in advance.

Countess Anastasia quickly tidied her clothes and hair to make herself look more noble and elegant, with a reserved smile on her face, nodded gently nodded tribute no matter who she saw.

As the upcoming Duchess, she must maintain a relatively fair attitude from now on, at least to let the failed aristocrats feel at ease, do not cause any major disturbances, and wait for complete control of the situation Then, slowly liquidate one by one……
