Chapter 1011: Volume 32 Dark Clouds Gather Chapter 29 To Be Discussed Later

"Well done! Vladimir Koff is now completely ready to take charge, and the Black Flame Knights can stand on their own in some respects. Although they may not seem as strong as the Three Great Knights, I must say that in many ways the Black Flame Knights surpass the Three Great Knights in their methods of handling matters. The way the latter handle things is too rigid and dogmatic, and they are becoming increasingly out of touch with our changing society."

Komer nodded with great satisfaction. At the moment, he didn’t have the energy to compete with the Assyrian People for the Mist Flower Hills, a region too remote. However, hundreds of thousands of Elves represented a considerable labor force. Unlike the Half-Beastmen and Barbarians, the Elves were not as strong physically, but when it came to meticulous work, they far outperformed the Half-Beastmen and Barbarians. On the Continent, like the Dwarves, they were a race welcomed by Mortals.

The development of Nicosia had entered a new stage. In Caucasus, there was still a great need for heavy labor, but in areas like Homer, Godeburg, and Cartin, agriculture was quite advanced. However, the handicraft economy was relatively underdeveloped compared to agriculture, and it was even more backward compared to the industrial and commercial development of the Southern Mediterranean Region. Therefore, Komer had always hoped that Nicosia’s industrial and commercial economy could catch up with the Southern Mediterranean Region. With Nicosia’s advanced agricultural economy as a foundation, and backed by the rich mineral resources of Caucasus and Leon, he wanted Nicosia’s handicraft industry to greatly advance, enabling the development of the industrial and commercial economy to also drive the development of other service industries such as commerce and finance.

However, the Assyrian People’s premature reach towards the Mist Flower Hills disrupted Komer’s plans. Now, when he was still unable to largely interfere with the situation in the Storm Ocean coastal region, taking this kind of small-scale but powerful action was undoubtedly the best choice. Vladimir Koff and his people indeed did not disappoint him. Their decisive actions completely shattered the Assyrian People’s fond hopes, not only successfully damaging the already close relationship between the Dark Elves and the Assyrian People but more importantly, making the Elves realize that the Assyrian People were not their reliable allies. They were far from speaking for the Mortal world, and at least the assertiveness shown by the Nicosian made the Elves reconsider.

"Boss, the Black Flame Knights did a good job, but the performance of the Three Great Knights is also quite remarkable now. They are full of spirit and enthusiasm, and their level of recognition is rapidly growing. They are the real foundation for rebuilding Nicosia."

Puber didn’t completely agree with Komer’s view. In his eyes, Komer’s previous actions might have indeed been unorthodox, but they were done out of necessity under special circumstances. However, now it was different. Komer was now the rightful master of Nicosia. To command the hearts of the people on this land, who each had their own desires, he still had to rely on those knights who had considerable influence at the grassroots level. Even with the full support of the knights, there was still a long way to go.

"A foundation? You think the Three Great Knights are our foundation?" Komer shook his head, unconvinced, "You’re wrong. The Three Great Knights are not the basis of my power, at least not currently, and they won’t be in the short term. On the surface, they seem to support me a lot, but if something were to happen to me, their attitude would be questionable. I am not a doubter, but the facts are as they are. Where does my foundation come from? It comes from our declaration of universal freedom of nationality and belief. Whether it is believing in any Church or not believing at all, the people who have this conviction are our true supporters. It is precisely this principle that has reduced the Church of Light’s rule in Caucasus to a common gang’s belief."

"Komer, I must remind you that you’re not just the Lord of Caucasus and Leon any longer, you are the entirety of Nicosia! The real essence of Nicosia still includes the inland heartlands such as Homer and Galle. Only by winning the hearts of these people can you truly strive for the goals you have set for yourself and be worthy to ascend to a higher stage, to manifest an even more brilliant self."

Puber couldn’t help but roar. In his view, his boss still hadn’t stepped out of his role as a rustic Caucasus Lord. At all times, he only considered the interests of the Half-Beastmen and Barbarians. He could understand the boss’s feelings, but emotions should not be the basis for making major military and national decisions. They absolutely could not, or else it would only make everything terribly worse.

"Puber, please, be calm, stay calm. Of course, I’m aware of everything I have said. The Three Great Knights and their supporting classes will become our basis of public opinion in the future, but definitely not now. Imagining that we can grab both ends at the moment, or rather, expecting that the Three Great Knights and the class they represent will unconditionally support us, is unrealistic. The only thing I know for sure is that the Barbarians and the Half-Beastmen’s interests are now tied to ours. Without us, they would roll back to their original place, nothing at all, worse than dog shit. So they will only support us unconditionally, and they have formidable martial power. Do you understand? This is our foundation at the current stage! Without them, do you think those knights and the classes they represent would submit to us in such a docile manner? They wouldn’t!"
