Wayne alienated the rebels without any psychological burden.
Ross was moved when he heard the words. The cold treatment and grievances he had suffered from Bulwer seemed to be cured in an instant when he heard words that hit his pain points.
"Master Wayne, you are... you are so well-intentioned! I have fully understood your meaning, and I will arrange for the manpower to shrink the combat position."
"However, we cannot fall out with the rebels just yet." He analyzed in detail the plight of these remnants of the restoration of the country.
The reason why they joined the rebels' united front was because they adhered to the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and they needed each other and stayed together for warmth.
"For so many years since the principality was destroyed, King Lornes has been invading the southwest territory and constantly purging our people in the name of suppressing bandits. Although the long-dead Archduke Laird is still remembered by many people in his hometown, no one dares to do so anymore. Have direct dealings with us..."
At this point, Ross was filled with resentment.
"The Grand Dukes of the Laird family have put in countless efforts and painstaking efforts to create a prosperous and peaceful country from a wasteland for future generations.
"But these people have now completely forgotten the grace of their ancestors, indulged in the temptation of Lownes' money and power, and colluded with the enemies of the past blood feud."
The more Wayne heard, the more something seemed wrong.
Why do you feel like you are criticizing me as yin and yang?
Seeing that Wayne's expression turned ugly, Ross realized that he had made a mistake.
"You... please don't misunderstand! The little man Ross will always be a slave of the Laird family, and he will never behave in contempt of the master's family!" He quickly swore loudly, "If I break this oath, I am willing to suffer the consequences of darkness. The punishment of magic is to be exposed in the wilderness after death and to be eaten by wild dogs!"
There was no trace of pretense on his expression.
"So do you think I should take revenge on the Wenche family?" There seemed to be a turbulent undercurrent hidden under Wayne's smooth tone.
Rose paled.
If he answered from his heart, he would definitely say that he hoped to kill all those enemies who had hated Laird for destroying the country. But Master Wayne, who grew up in the Wenche family, really doesn't have any feelings for those people?
It would be good if you guessed what he was thinking, but if you got the answer wrong...
"No matter what decision you make, I will obey your orders."
Finally, Ross lowered his head and said.
No one answered, and the room was extremely quiet.
Wayne remembered that Bulwer once revealed to him that Norman actually had no intention of returning to the country, and that everything he did today was just for revenge.
Perhaps it was because they realized that relying on these surviving remnants, the Laird family was doomed; or perhaps they felt that the real purpose could not be exposed to the rabble in the rebel army so early to avoid conflicts of interest with other forces in advance.
After a while, Wayne sighed: "I will build a new principality from scratch."
"When it is born, it will not bear unnecessary hatred, nor will it bear anyone's sins. It will be a new ideal city that ensures the survival of every citizen."
Achieving this in name was far easier for him than outsiders imagined.
After all, if he followed the steps step by step, Wayne could have inherited the title of Duke of Winche. With his relationship with the two princes, coupled with his own means and abilities, he can definitely obtain a certain degree of autonomy in the Kingdom of Lornes in the future.
At worst, it's coercion and inducement, and others have to agree even if they don't agree.
In the future, we will find a way to operate it. Whether it is in the name of exchanging territory or in the name of being rewarded for great achievements, as long as the royal family can entrust themselves with the territory they annexed in the past, by then, whether it is the restoration of the country or the kingdom's top officials, No one can act recklessly beyond themselves.
Although this is only the most idealistic assumption, he is willing to believe that this is the future that he will eventually realize.
"At that time, the people who were lost due to the country's subjugation in the past will all have a new home. There will no longer be Lornes' army coming to plunder, and there will be no more
Taxes beyond affordability. "
He didn't mind talking about these things now.
If these people really want to restore their country, their only hope really lies in themselves. Through observation and contact during this period of time, Wayne was very sure that without his Laird bloodline, which symbolized orthodoxy, to reunite some people's hearts, the already weakening remnants of the restoration of the country would soon fall apart.
Now, Wayne decided to give him a choice.
If they are willing to follow the path given by him, Wayne can't let these people go.
Otherwise, he would have to clear out these unstable factors that get in the way.
He will do some things, but that doesn't mean he is willing to be done by others.
Ross's lips trembled and he said, "Are you really planning to restore Milistan to the country?"
"It's not about restoring Milistan, but recreating a common country that belongs to us." Wayne looked up at the sky outside the window at a 45-degree angle and said, "Whether it's you or everyone else, I will give you changes without discrimination." Opportunity of this world.”
"I don't need to boast about the glory of my ancestors. Because the great achievements I have created will surpass all my predecessors in this world."
At this moment, Wayne felt that he was the destined son of this world.
From Rose's eyes that couldn't hide the fear, excitement, and admiration, Wayne realized that he undoubtedly had some kind of halo at this moment.
Damn it, the protagonist’s halo is really addictive!
"The most loyal servant of the Laird family, Ross is willing to serve you!" He solemnly performed a courtesy that was unfamiliar to Wayne.
"The villain will select a group of absolutely trustworthy people for you. Please don't worry about the possibility of your identity being leaked. I have brought you the list and basic information of all relevant insiders. They are all Lord Norman. A confidant, please destroy this document immediately after reading it.”
He took out a stack of papers from the document bag he had brought. "I spent a whole day writing this information yesterday, and it involves many secrets that outsiders don't know about."
"Three of them are still coordinating rear affairs in the southwest region. If your time is convenient, they are willing to come to meet you one by one."
It seems that this person still knows what's going on. He knew that if he didn't tell the truth, he would never truly trust him.
Wayne carefully memorized all this information in his mind, and then used pure magical energy to break down the paper in his hand into invisible dust.
"There's no rush," Wayne said.
"Use the capital I brought to clear the way, and you can set up the factory first. Many new trends have emerged in the kingdom recently, and the market demand in the upstream and downstream supply chains is very strong. This is a good opportunity to coordinate funds for our business."
Even if you only catch a few opportunities, you can take off.
