Becoming a lord in another world starts with farming

Owen, who has always turned on the Demon King's halo, does not look like a young boy. His whole body is shrouded in shadow, exuding an aura of cruelty and fear, which makes Viscount Feilong and Kelun Si tremble uncontrollably. This has nothing to do with will, everything is The body's instinctive reaction.

Viscount Feilong, who was bleeding from his waist, suddenly saw Death's sickle on his neck under the pressure of the Demon King's aura. He rolled his eyes and fainted.

Corens was a little better. Although he was dizzy, his hope of survival was at stake. He gritted his teeth and persisted. However, under the huge pressure, he couldn't help but regret his choice to surrender, because this No matter how you look at it, you don’t look like a merciful Lord.

"I, the noble lord of the northern border, Hydra III, hereditary viscount, accept the surrender of Swan Baron Curranth, and allow you to serve for me." Owen pondered for a moment and then took off his helmet to reveal his true face, and then put Swan Baron Curranth in his hands. Si's stabbing sword was returned to him, and this move immediately made Kelunsi breathe a sigh of relief.

Regarding Owen's identity, Kelunsi was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it, he didn't think there was any problem. After all, there are only a few lords in this damn place, and the four of them have joined forces. Now two are dead and one is about to die. , he and the Hydera family are the only ones left, so no matter how unbelievable it is, it will be the only answer, and this is why Owen chose to reveal his identity.

As for whether commanding goblins to kill humans is evil or not, will it be used as a basis? In fact, this kind of thing is not a problem for the nobles at all. Even Corens does not think it is a basis for it, because for the nobles, they only have two powers. There are two kinds, one is used by oneself, and one is not used by the Viscount. As for what the power is and whether it is evil, it actually doesn't matter at all.

Next, Irving personally killed Viscount Feilong, whose name he couldn't even name, and left Curranth behind.

As for why he killed Viscount Feilong but accepted the surrender of Baron Swan, there were only two people alive. When one of them had to be chopped to death, he was the only one. After all, judging from the condition of Viscount Feilong’s waist, he probably wouldn’t have been chopped off on the spot. You won't live long if you die.

At the same time, Owen's reason for doing this was to try to improve the system's progress value, so he killed one and lowered it. However, it was different for Curranth, because he could survive and get a good result.

Fortunately, the other party was also from an imperial noble family. If he had met other northern border nobles, Corens knew that he would have been hacked to death long ago.

The difference is mainly due to the fact that after a long period of time, the internal rules of the imperial nobility have been relatively perfected.

There was definitely no harmony among the nobles. In fact, the early struggles between the nobles were very cruel and direct. Poisoning, assassination, trickery, war, all were used. They even dragged their opponents directly into the bushes during banquets and raped them. It is not uncommon for someone to use poison and claim that the other person committed suicide.

At that time, as long as the nobles could win, no one cared what means they used.

However, with the stability and solidification of the aristocratic class, coupled with the continuous marriage and interest exchange between them, the struggle between the aristocrats gradually evolved a relatively mature set of rules to ensure that the fight would not expand and avoid affecting the overall situation. Interests.

In fact, the nobles within the empire now rarely use force. War is only a last resort. Even assassination and poisoning are regarded as unfashionable and even rejected by the mainstream.

Nowadays, the great nobles in the imperial capital have become accustomed to using political means to achieve their goals. This method is like using leverage, with low investment and large returns. Every word and deed can even affect the entire empire. It is regarded by the nobles as the most elegant art and the ultimate Target.

As for assassination and poisoning, they were both inferior methods used by small nobles. As for leading troops to fight, it was even more the behavior of barbarians.

The big nobles who can influence the operation of the empire don't need to use this method at all. If they tell you to die, you have to die, or they will send your entire family on the road.

So what if you can fight? Can you defeat countless strong men in the empire?

So what if he has many elite soldiers and generals, can he defeat the imperial army?

In this way, the rules of the aristocratic class become more stable and in-depth.

Although the purpose of this set of rules is to try to avoid attrition within the nobles, it does not mean that killing is completely abandoned. For example, what hatred can be used and what methods can be used, such as treatment after surrender, etc., there are relative rules.

For example, the hatred between Viscount Feilong and Owen is a feud. They can use any method, including killing each other after surrendering, and they will not be condemned for it.

But if you can kill Viscount Feilong, you can't kill the other person's family unless the other person refuses to swear to give up revenge.

In the empire, if the defeated noble does not give up revenge, the winner has the right to kill the other party. However, if the other party swears to give up revenge, then he cannot kill him and has to let his family live.

This move is mainly to preserve the noble bloodline as much as possible, but don't think that the oath is just a casual talk. Once you swear to give up hatred, the loser cannot take any form of revenge on the victor afterwards, otherwise the victor has the right Anyone who takes any means and violates the oath will become the enemy of all nobles. Even if he does not take action directly, the various targets alone are enough to make the other party want to die.

This rule also applies to Curranth. When he chooses to surrender, it means that he has given up his sovereignty. Because of the gap in titles between the two sides, when Owen returns his sword to him, it means that he has accepted his surrender. This is also true. It has the effect of an oath.

Of course, this set of rules is a tacit understanding between the imperial nobles for a long time due to mutual constraints. There is no market for the northern border nobles. Even the vast majority of the northern border nobles do not know this set of so-called rules at all. Even if they know it, I'm afraid they will also sneer at it. After all, for the northern nobles who are accustomed to bandits, killing them all, robbing them all, and burning them all are the most direct methods. The imperial nobles have already passed this period and can wash away the blood and dirt on their bodies. Ni, wiped the corners of his mouth and retracted his fangs, making an elegant gesture, despising the barbarism of the northern nobles.

The battle was over, and Owen asked the Goblin witch doctor to treat the magic horn tree poison on Corens. Then he heard the sound of biting and the excited noises of the Goblins coming from the camp not far away.

Goblins are not vegetarian animals. They also like human food, not to mention the weapons, food, tents, clothing, and even a spoon in the camp. They are all good things to them and are the targets of mutual competition. .

"Everything in the camp will be rewarded to you. Don't stay too long. Take all the goblins back to the Devil's Horn Forest after dawn." Owen knew very well what was happening in the camp, but he had no intention of stopping it.

The Demon Horned Goblin was not summoned by him through the system, and he has no loyalty to him. If he steps forward to stop him, even if he relies on the Goblin General and his own Demon King aura to achieve his goal, there will still be hidden dangers, so instead of It's thankless, so it's better to pretend not to see it, after all, it's not him who suffers.

The Goblin General took the order to control the horned goblins who were scratching too much. Because too many elite goblins were killed in the battle, the effect was not very good. The Goblin General hacked several of them to death before he managed to do it. Order these horned goblins to carry supplies back to the forest.
