Chapter 940: Undead Professionals With Nowhere to Go
With the rise of Zhao Guang, the circumstances around began to change completely.
Within the Chirali Empire, Duke Horace’s recent status has clearly risen significantly.
It’s not about his title, but rather that many people have recently been visiting him. Initially, because Duke Horace gave his daughter to Zhao Guang, there were still many mocking him behind his back.
Later, after receiving numerous benefits, this mockery disappeared, yet some people still did not pay him any respect.
But now, it’s different. A legend explains it all, enough to shut everyone’s mouths.
Not only that, some people have come over to curry favor and draw connections, with many wanting to connect with Zhao Guang through Horace.
Another change is the northern defensive line. Since Zhao Guang has taken over the Great Swamp, it’s uncertain whether the northern line still needs to be maintained. After all, maintaining this line costs a huge price each year.
Not only do they need to invest most of their own territory’s output into the army, but the country also spends a large amount of money each year. But now, this situation has changed.
This year, during discussions, the issue of reducing military expenditure in the north was promptly placed in front of Balola in the Imperial Hall.
Not only inside the Empire but also those northern border lords have had a change in mindset one after another.
They have defended the Empire’s borders for so many years, shouldn’t they enjoy some benefits by now?
Anyway, from now on, Zhao Guang controls the area, and Zhao Guang is a Human, incapable of high-intensity confrontation with them. If they were to fight, they would not be his opponents, so reducing the army is preferable.
