King’s Kingdom - Chapter 235
“The King’s Kingdom (
In fact, Theodosius did not have other ideas. Since the other party made himself the dwarf king, some of the matters must be made clear in advance.
He knew that it was absolutely impossible for these dwarves to make themselves their kings for nothing. Although they did not say it explicitly, according to his speculation, these dwarves may have hoped to obtain a piece of land as a shelter.
The reason is very simple. There is no place for them in the Hengduan Mountains. Gondolin Mountain was carefully selected many years ago as a barely livable place, but now it has fallen into the control of the monsters. among.
The dwarves have been severely damaged after the previous battle. How can the dwarf warriors who are only in their early 3000s retake the Gondolin Mountain, which is home to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of monsters?
Although the dragon has been killed by himself, after all, those monsters have not been completely wiped out, and where will they go after they escape? The answer is already obvious.
Compared to trekking through mountains and rivers, traveling 500 to 600 kilometers in the cold Hengduan Mountains and returning to the territory of the Morodo Empire is obviously more reasonable to flee back to Godolin Mountain, right?
Moreover, Theodosius himself was very clear that he did not promise to help them retake Mount Gondolin at all.
The Gondolin Mountain is located more than 200 kilometers due west of Ikopixi. First of all, it does not border the Lanine Kingdom. Even if the monsters use it as a springboard to attack the human world, they will not threaten the Lanine Kingdom.
Although he now has some consciousness as a human monarch, it is simply impossible for him to do things beyond his ability.
Although the army of the Lanyin Kingdom is strong, it is not invincible in the world. If Diodosius has an army of 100,000 troops of the same quality as the current one, he can naturally gamble, but his army is only more than 20,000. To 30,000 people, trying to recover Gondolin Mountain is nothing short of a fantasy.
He estimated that this group of dwarves also understood this and knew that their ethnic group had no place to survive in the Hengduan Mountains. Ikpixi was out of morality for his allies, and because the enemy was currently taking them in, But it doesn’t mean that they can occupy the magpie’s nest and live here for a long time.
Finding a shelter is a top priority for the dwarves.
After thinking about it, he, the king who owns a large area of the human world, naturally became the best candidate.
With such a mentality, Theodosius naturally had the advantage.
However, this proposal also brought some worries to him.
Before, he originally wanted to use other means to come up with a new dwarf king to command the dwarves, and then let the dwarf king swear allegiance to himself, forming a feudal obligation of monarch and vassal, although the Lanyin Kingdom is a semi-centralized system, but It does not mean that the feudal system completely disappeared from this land.
In name, the king of the Lanyin Kingdom is also qualified to canonize real nobles. To be more realistic, this country may be implementing a dual system, that is, a political system in which centralized power and fiefdoms coexist.
For example, Ivar was a feudal noble in the Rhine Kingdom. He commanded the former tribesmen and the land where they lived. The land was set aside for them by Theodosius, similar to the reservation of the Indians.
Still have suzerainty over the land, but the people on the land are under the jurisdiction of their Baron Rydan.
Theodosius hoped to copy this model to a dwarf king, and then use him to exercise jurisdiction over the dwarves.
This approach can effectively ensure that it is difficult for the dwarves to break away from his rule, because once the feudal obligation is fulfilled, the title of the dwarf king of Gondolin Mountain will become the feudal vassal of the title of the Lanyin king. , they can abolish the dwarf king because it is the king election system, but this feudal obligation is not elected, and it is unlikely that they want to betray.
And if Theodosius himself came to be the king of dwarves, he would think that it could only be regarded as a union, the title of king of dwarves and the title of king of Lanyin were independent of each other, and the dwarves could abolish King Godolin, then in legal terms Naturally, Theodosius, the dwarf king, can also be abolished.
Moreover, it is obvious that the throne of the king-selection system cannot be hereditary. Even if the dwarves did not make any trouble in Theodosius’s lifetime, when his son’s generation was reached, he would not be a legitimate dwarf king. If If he was strong enough, he might be even more troublesome than the referendum gang of Theodosius in his previous life.
This is what he doesn’t want to see.
Therefore, it is necessary to make three chapters of the law in advance.
“Please don’t shirk, your esteemed majesty, you are indeed not a dwarf, but a dwarf, human, and elves are all children of the **** of light and the sun, we are brothers to each other, you are our king, what is there to do? What about the relationship?” Dal Kodak said respectfully, with the character of dwarves, it was probably not easy to make them bow down.
Not only him, but the rest of the dwarves also echoed, after all, the situation of these dwarves has long been known to everyone. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
Listening to their words, Theodosius said with embarrassment: “It’s not that I’m trying to shirk, it’s just that I know myself that the army of the Lanyin Kingdom is not strong enough to help you retake Mount Gondolin…”
“Uh…” Dal Kodak was stunned for a moment, then looked at the other dwarves behind him, and said, “Your Majesty, we don’t expect you to help us retake Gondolin Mountain, as long as you can draw an insignificant piece of your vast territory. All we need is the land for our survival, we have nothing else to ask for!”
“So that’s the case, you want to exchange my territory for you by enthroning me as king, right?” Theodosius’ expression became more “gloomy”.
“That’s right! That’s right!” Darkodak said hurriedly: “That’s what we mean. We dwarves are willing to let you be king, but only hope to have a place to live!”
They didn’t realize that Theodosius’ expression was wrong. Perhaps for the dwarves, expressions were not a way to convey political signals.
But Theodosius ignored this and said coldly: “In exchange for a place to live, and then when the opportunity arises, I will abolish my throne like King Godolin, so that you will get the land for nothing, and also You can choose whoever you see fit to be king, isn’t it?”
This time, even these dwarves, no matter how dull they were, realized that Theodosius’ words had no meaning.
Dalkodak hurriedly said: “We have no intention of this, please believe us! Dwarves will never do such a treacherous act!”
In the banquet hall, the knights of the Lanyin Kingdom, the generals of the military region, and the commanders were stunned for a moment. The banquet has only started for more than ten minutes, and so many major events have occurred. Dizzying.
