People in Terra, governing a weird little country

Kjerag has not been invaded yet, only because the three countries check and balance each other, making the cost of conquering and occupying Kjerag far higher than the benefits it brings.

But this is the case now, what about the future?

Ernst wanted to tell all Kjerag people that perhaps the political entity of "country" is free of any personal emotions, but the people who lead the country are not the same.

It is not impossible for a monarch like the former Emperor of Ursus to appear again. When their desire for conquest overrides the interests of the country, a "passionate war" with low returns but satisfying their desire for conquest is entirely possible. By then, Kjerag will not be able to rely entirely on Yelagund for defense!

Ernst doesn't want to see the Boxer Rebellion across the country!

Sherag had to become powerful. Even if he couldn't become the Switzerland or Singapore of Terra, he had to at least become the Afghanistan of Terra and make these mountains the graveyard for all invaders!

"The merciful Lord Yelagund has never asked the Kjerag people to do anything, but are the Kjerag people willing to be children in the cradle of the mountains and never grow up?"

"I don't want to, and I believe that any Kjerag who has the ambition, the will, and the piety will not want to either!"

The passionate voice rang out from in front of the holy stone and spread to the entire square.

Ernst is now extremely grateful for the several speech competitions he participated in in high school and the several movies he has seen that feature speech scenes.

Otherwise, based on his experience as a civil servant, it would not be so easy for him to mobilize such emotions.

After all, it is a job that is so depressing that you have to follow the rules.

As Ernst finished speaking, some unusual colors finally appeared on the faces of the dull people in the Holy Stone Square.

Ernst couldn't tell what that expression was.

Enthusiasm? Pride? An urge to start working hard right now?

The corner of Ernst's mouth curled up in a proud arc.

He raised his right hand and asked again:

"To be a pioneer admired by future generations, or to be a baby in swaddling clothes relying on the protection of the mother?"

"pioneer!"

A familiar voice responded loudly, and Ernst looked over in surprise. The person who raised his right hand and responded to Ernst first was none other than Enthiotis!

The two brothers' eyes met in mid-air, emotions of encouragement and gratitude were exchanged at this moment, and everything was self-evident.

The first person spoke, and the person who spoke was one of the patriarchs of the three tribes. The next second, the responses followed one after another.

"pioneer!"

Actor Perlochi roared!

The tall and burly Ursus man's red pupils showed some ripples of light. He was a simple-minded person and admired Ernst's speech from the bottom of his heart.

Although the Perlochi family has always been responsible for training militias and protecting Kjerag, no one knows it better than the patriarch. At this point, the so-called protection of Perlochi is nothing more than "clearing wild animals wandering around some residential settlements" or "regularly patrolling and clearing the mountains where avalanches may occur." Rather than being a glorious guardian, it is better to be a local urban management officer and a local police officer.

But this Ursus man has always had an restless heart.

Ernst's speech inspired him. For thousands of years, Kjerag had been blessed with the grace and protection of Yelagund, and no natural or man-made disasters had ever occurred. For this, Manju Temple held countless ceremonies to thank Yelagund, and he always believed that this was justified.

But how can we repay Yelagund's kindness? Just sending a saint to the mountain and offering a little wine, rice or tools to Yelagund every year as a thank you, who are we sending these meager tributes to?

The one who accepted those things was always Manzhuyuan, not the god Yelagundeben!

And now, he finally knew how to repay Yelagund.

Yelagund, who protects Kjerag and treats the Kjerag people as his own children, is most happy when Kjerag develops and grows, dominates the land, and is not inferior to any foreign country or nation. He is most happy when the Kjerag people live a good and strong life, and can proudly say to him:

"We have grown up, and now you will enjoy your life!"

The fire in Actoros' heart burned fiercely, like a small stove that was about to overheat.

He declared with excitement and pride that could not be lost to anyone else:

"Perloche will always protect Kjerag! We will make the great god Yelagund proud!"

As soon as he spoke, the people and vassals of the Perlochi family followed suit. The voices of the Kalan Trade and Shivaash families merged together, almost resounding throughout the entire Holy Mountain.

Ernst's sights turned to the last of the Brown Taos.

The people of the Bruntao family had already joined in the cheers of Perlochi and Shivaash. Latatos's opinion was no longer important, but Ernst still wanted to see a united Kjerag.

Ernst searched the crowd at the Brantau's house, but he did not see Latatos.

With his brows slightly furrowed, Ernst had a bad premonition in his heart and subconsciously looked in the direction of Enthiotis.

Just as he worried, after the cheers resounded throughout the Holy Mountain, Boss Yin disappeared into the crowd without him noticing.

Damn it, I was touched by your support just now, but in the blink of an eye you disappeared. Can't we just not do anything?

Clicking his lips, Ernst glanced at his watch.

It’s 10:15 and there are still 45 minutes left before the annual tribal meeting.

What else can I do? Go find it!

Boss Yin, don't let me catch you!

Chapter 81: Boss Yin: A showdown!

"What do you want me to do, Enchiodis?"

Latatos held one hand with the other, looking at the back of Enthiotis who was walking in front of her, as if she was about to fire the Tigaizaperio beam.

Boss Yin didn't turn around, but just asked:

"How did you feel about my brother's speech?"

Latatos was a little confused about Enchiodis's thoughts, so she could only speak truthfully:

"It feels pretty good. The level of incitement and emotional mobilization is above the passing line. And to be honest, he can talk about these things and connect the belief in the great god Yelagund with the development of Kjerag. Even I can't help but applaud him."

This was also what surprised Latatos.

As a check and balance among the three major families, Latatos Brontao is not without insight. Rather, within the traditional scope, she is even smarter and more capable than Enthiotis.

Rather, there has always been an indisputable fact in Kjerag, that is, before the Shivaash family devoted themselves to modernization and introduced new foreign things to Kjerag, the Brontao family played the role of merchants on the land of Kjerag.

The reason why it doesn't work now is not essentially because of Latatos.

She just lost because of the dimensionality reduction attack of industrial civilization on agricultural civilization.

After realizing that she was at a disadvantage in the competition with the Shivaash family, Latatos was slowly deepening her understanding of the outside world. Therefore, she realized how advanced the "national concepts" and "political principles" that Ernst talked about in his speech today were.

Compared to the content of "making Yelagund proud" that really resonated with the people of Kjerag, those things that seemed to set the tone in just one sentence were the real key.

Enchiotis nodded as a matter of course.

Ernst's performance today naturally surprised him. He was the first to shout "Pioneer", and it was definitely not a casual cooperation, but praise and affirmation from the heart.

But after shouting, he also realized the problem.

"You are right. Ernst's speech was indeed of a good standard. At least it was much better than the nonsense speech he made at his inauguration. But he still has a big problem that he has not figured out."

Enthyodis turned around and looked at Latatos with a serious expression:

"Shelagh doesn't have that much time."

Latatos frowned after realizing something.

"What do you mean?"

"Literally." Enthiotis said, "Ernst is too slow."

"His thoughts do match his actions today, but his actions do not match the land of Terra today. Latatos, we are out of time."

“Our neighbors have started to take notice of Kjerag.”

Latatos asked in disbelief:

"How did you come to this conclusion?"

SilverAsh immediately replied, "Because the caravans of Kalan Trade have traveled all over Terra!"

"In Victoria, the chaos caused by the execution of the king has gradually subsided. The nobles and grand dukes have completely taken control of the situation. The rebellion of the royalists is no longer worth mentioning. Guess where they will turn their attention after they have completely stabilized the country?"

"It's the same with Casimir. Originally, the Commercial Union and the Supervisory Council were able to check and balance each other, but with the continuous development of knight competitions, the strength of the Commercial Union is constantly increasing. As for the Supervisory Council, although I don't know if they still have any trump cards, just from the situation in the several Casimir border cities that my caravan has visited, the corruption of the expedition knights is very serious!"

"As for Columbia, they seem to be the calmest, but they are the truly terrifying opponents. The Great Reclamation Movement has already demonstrated their ambition for land. If Victoria and Casimir show their desire for Kjerag, how can it stand idly by?"

"We are already in danger! And Ernst is still planning to start from the beginning step by step. I don't disagree with his idea of ​​taking one step at a time, but given the current situation, it's too late!"

Enthiotis asserted.

Latatos was silent for a moment, looked at Enchiodis, and answered rationally:

"That's just your speculation."

"I know what you want to do, Enchiodis. You want to win me over and do something at the three-tribe meeting later?"

"I want to file a no-confidence motion against Ernst," Enthiotis said. "I will nominate Nosis Edelweiss to take office, so as to promote the comprehensive industrialization of Kjerag. Not the small-scale industrialization he is doing now, but comprehensive industrialization with heavy industry as the main focus."

Latatos was stunned and almost laughed out loud:

"Do you know what you are saying? Who do you think will agree with this plan? Even if I help you, Perloche will oppose you. Moreover, even if the bill is passed and Ernst steps down, do you think that you and a government without Ernst, the 'Son of God', can implement everything you said in Kjerag?"

"Why?" Latatos asked.

Enthyodis took a deep look at Latatos and said:

"What if I have the ability to move things forward?"

"Impossible, Aktos will object..."

"What if I have a way to suppress him even if he objects?"

Latatos was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened in disbelief:

"Wait, no you......."

She suddenly remembered something, something that Ernst had once reminded Perloche about, which had caused some commotion, but was then ignored.

Kalan Trade once "hid" a batch of steel.

This incident was used by the Perlochi family as an excuse to find fault and suppress the trade between Shivaash and Kalan, but it soon came to nothing due to a plausible explanation from Noxis Edwiss (Gnosis).

It was more than a week later that Latatos Blantao learned about the farce that took place downstairs in the Kalan Trading Building. At that time, she did not take it too seriously, thinking that it was just another nuisance from Perlochi. Similar things had happened countless times.

At that time, the Holy Stone Trial called by the Great Elder was in full swing, and Ernst was being pushed to the forefront. As matters had their priorities, she temporarily put the matter behind her and hinted to her silly sister to rescue Ernst.

But afterwards, Ernst turned out to be a blessing in disguise and did not have to use the escape route she had prepared, so she completely forgot about that little thing.

But what if that steel was not simply wasted, but really "existed"?

Where can so much steel be used? What can it be used for?

Enthyodis smiled slightly and continued:

"And it's not just Actor, it's you too. Latatos, I know you're a smart person, but you also have to consider the interests of the entire Bruntao family. In this regard, I think your sister is not as good as you."

"Why did you mention Xu Lusi?" Latatos finally couldn't help but growled.

If the whereabouts of the batch of steel only made Latatos feel a chill down her spine, then Enthiotis' sudden mention of Xu Lu at this moment made her sweat profusely.

What does she mean by that?

Is Ruth Hugh in danger? Or does he want Ruth Hugh to replace me?

But how is that possible? The Three Clan Council is not the Kjerag government. The position of clan leader is determined by blood. Unless she is dead, who can deny the sanctity of blood?

Except Yelagund.

But is there any way for him to get Yelagund to ask for a substitution?

Enchiodis did not answer, but shrugged at her noncommittally and said:

"Don't worry, you have plenty of time to think. I just hope you can give me an answer before the end of the Holy Hunt tomorrow."

"you!"

Before Latatos could finish her words, Enthiotis had already turned around and walked towards Tukarim with a determined expression without looking back.

it's necessary.

he said to himself.

In his confrontations with Ernst, he always lost more than he won, and Ernst's position gradually became more solid, even indirectly strengthening the authority and credibility of the government that should not have existed.

If he continues like this, he will lose the chance to turn the tables.
