Heroes of the Invincible Knight

"Lord Moliel, the grain store in the city is still closed today, and many civilians have already been deprived of food."

"Prices are still rising, and now there is money in Burley and nothing can be bought."

Burley's City Lord's Mansion, Sol used to work here when he rectified the valley. Although Sol suppressed all dissatisfaction with thunder at that time, the fundamental problem of the valley was still unresolved. They restrained themselves a little, but when Sol left, they fished more unscrupulously. That is to say, the river valley was rich in crops, and there was no fear of war. The greed of the nobles in the river valley may have caused a civil uprising long ago.

And these river valley nobles are more or less smart people. Although they control the price of food, they can be considered moderate when driving up prices. No hoe can dig out all the leeks, and they always have to give the river valley civilians a way to survive. As long as most people are energetic, they will not take risks. The river valley has been considered stable for so many years, and the kingdom did not look at it a few times until Richard set his sights on this fertile land.

It was very easy for the Hunter family to enter Burleigh City. A flag regiment in Burleigh City received Dane's order to open the city gate. Thousands of city guards under the control of the nobles wanted to stop them and were directly disarmed. Taking Dane's 20,000 River Valley Legion as the vanguard, leading the dragon army of 10,000 people and four giant dragons into the city, they encountered no resistance at all. After the dragon army entered the city, no one dared to take action after the dragon army entered the city. Soldiers resisted, so each family recruited tens of thousands of personal guards. It is easy to bully the common people at ordinary times. It is true that Mo Lier, who entered the city with four dragons and an army of 30,000, dared to take the lead and would only be wiped out openly.

However, they don't dare to resist on the surface, but they have the ability to use disgusting methods in secret. The problem facing Molier now is that they use their power to show off.

The granary can only go in and out, the rice and grain stores on the market are closed in large areas, and the prices of various living materials have soared, which has reached a level that ordinary people cannot accept. If this continues, there will be some chaos in Bolai City. The nobles from all over the world united and messed up the economy of the River Valley in a self-harming way, just to show the Hunter family their strength in this way. If the Hunter family doesn't want the river valley's economy to be corrupted, they will take the initiative to negotiate with them, and then they will put forward conditions to each other, divide the interests well, and allocate a part to the Hunter family while ensuring the basic interests of the nobles. The two sides reached a tacit agreement.

In their view, the Hunter family is very likely to accept this condition. After all, the River Valley is stable with them, so they will naturally pay taxes to the Hunter family. The Hunter family is the former kingdom, and they prepared for the Hunter family. The benefits are much more than those given to the kingdom. If the valley continues to be in such a mess, the Hunter family will not get any benefits.

If it were a traditional aristocrat, or even the Lanster family in the past, they would choose to compromise in such a situation, as long as they got the benefits, but for the Hunter family, it was impossible to accept this threat, and instead After they show their power in the valley, the Hunter family will only intensify their efforts to attack their interests and treat politics as a business. Most businessmen will be defeated. For an ambitious person like Richard, it is absolutely impossible to accept Rule only in name.

Molly knew about Richard's decision without even asking him for instructions. Compromise is impossible. What she wants to think about right now is a way to break the situation.

"General Dane, is the food in the valley controlled by these nobles?"

"Nine times out of ten, the trading houses of the nobles completely control the grain trade in the valley, and almost all the granaries are also in the castles of each family."

Dane is quite familiar with the way, he was the one who brought Sol to ransack the house at the beginning, he has been colluding with the nobles in the valley for so long, and he understands the interests clearly and secretly.

"Then, General Dane thinks, how should we deal with it?"

In the meeting hall, Moriel was sitting at the head seat. Several administrative bureaucrats and senior generals were waiting for Moriel's order. This group of people had never been so aggrieved in the Northland, and they were waiting for Moriel's order The killing spree is on.

Looking at the slightly squinting Morrill, Dane knew that it was time for him to lead the way again. These idiots in the River Valley are really out of their minds doing business, and they use businessmen's methods to restrain ambitious people like Richard. This kind of people will not divide their interests with a group of greedy nobles. He is much more greedy than these. See The actions of the Hunter family in the Northland obviously wanted everything.

After thinking for a while, Dane said:

"I suggest directly ordering all rice and grain stores to open tomorrow and supply food, otherwise all stores will be confiscated and they will not be allowed to open."

"What if they still don't open the door?"

"That's just right, I took this opportunity to confiscate their shop, and directly classified it as the property of the City Lord's Mansion, which will be run by the City Lord's Mansion."

"Where does the food come from?"

"The noble families in Burleigh are our granary."

"Starting from Ander's house, which has the most grain, their grain depot can supply the city of Burleigh for at least a month."

"If they resist..."

"If they resist, the River Valley Legion is willing to be the vanguard."

Coincidentally, this time the Hunter family's entry into Burleigh City seems to have been so smooth and gentle that the nobles in the river valley have forgotten the bloody terror. The new ruler must always gain some power.

After listening to Dane's solution, the following senior officers also looked forward to it. This simple and rude method is most suitable for them. They can't wait to slaughter a few troublesome nobles now, and set up the majesty of the three-flag flag of the Hunter family. Come.

"Um."

"Have you all heard of General Dane's method?"

"Understand!"

The officers and even the civilian staff below shouted excitedly. For those of them who have long been bound to the Hunter family, the glory of the Hunter family's three-flag flag is their glory. Set up the three-flag banner on the new site With the majesty of the flag, they are even more fanatical than Li Cha.

The following orders from Molier also did not disappoint them.

"Since I heard everything clearly, I won't repeat it again. All the steps are in accordance with General Dane's arrangement."

"Directly issue an order in the name of the City Lord's Mansion. All rice and grain stores will not be opened if they do not open to sell food within two days. The City Lord's Mansion will operate it on their behalf."

"Yes, my lord!"

"If you open the door in the past two days, write it down. General Dane will identify which one it belongs to. On the third day, all the businesses that have not opened the door to sell grain, and the nobles behind them are all within the scope of the army's capture."

"Let Lord Dane lead the team to carry out this operation!"

"yes!"

Dane, got another chance to show his loyalty. Although Richard never doubted Dane's loyalty from the perspective of interests, as a new recruit, Dane always needs to earn more credits and qualifications. Get a foothold in the Hunter family system.

…

Burley City

Ander's Castle

Qualified nobles in the city gathered here again to discuss matters. These days, the plans to confront the Hunters were all discussed from here, but the atmosphere here is a bit dignified. In just two days, the Hunters made a move.

Judging from the orders of the City Lord's Mansion, it seems that the Hunter family has no intention of negotiating and compromising, but wants to use coercive means to suppress it.

"Everyone, how should we respond to the orders of the City Lord's Mansion?"

"Hehe, no one can scare people. The property of the nobles is sacred and inviolable. What's the use of them forcing the rice store to open? Can they find a grain of grain in the valley? Or do they want to get their military rations?" How about selling it to those poor ghosts in the rice store?"

"Hahahahaha..."

The words of the noble representative aroused echoes from many people present. So what if the city lord's mansion took over the operation of the rice and grain store? With them in control, the Hunter's family could not receive a grain of grain in the river valley, so where could they sell it.

They never thought that the Hunter family would directly rob them of their granary. The kingdom system had been solidified for hundreds of years, and the nobles, as the ruling class, had already formed a set of customary rules, which were essentially to maintain the ruling class. Benefit.

For example, the private property of nobles is sacred and inviolable. This kind of rule is not too obvious in the Northland outside the Zhenbei Pass, but for the powerful nobles and the river valleys close to the Central Plains, it has been an iron law for hundreds of years. However, many nobles in the River Valley still habitually believe that the Hunter family will not challenge the rules of the entire noble class, and will only play with them within the scope of the rules.

Even when Thor killed a family of nobles at the beginning, it was because the other party was a little stupid and directly raised troops to resist, which gave Sol a justifiable reason. Now they are acting like quails on the surface, and the Hunter family will not move them if they want to move them. There will be no reason.

Only a few people did not respond, but only a few were sober, and it was difficult to change other people's minds in this kind of crowd, and even sober people didn't have the intention of reminding others, and they were silently thinking about their own calculations.

"I think the Hunter family is showing their cowardice by doing this. We don't have to wait two days. Today we will let all the rice and grain stores open, but we won't supply a single grain. Let's see what the Hunter family can do."

"Okay, everyone advances together and retreats together. Let the Hunter family know that without our nobles in the valley, the Hunter family cannot sit firmly as the guardian of the valley."

"Okay, let's hold on for a few more days. The losses in these few days are for the long-term interests of everyone."

"We understand."

"If you have nothing to do, let's leave today. After everyone goes back, let the rice store open. If the city lord's mansion wants to take over, let them take over."

"good…"

…

In the garden of Ander's house, an old man is sitting in the garden to rest his mind. He is the Viscount Ander of this generation, but many specific affairs have been handed over to his eldest son, and most of the time he has not participated in the management.

"Is everyone gone?"

"Um."

"What was the result of your discussion?"

"According to the order of the City Lord's Mansion, let the rice store open immediately to give the Hunter family a face, but not a single grain will be supplied."

"Then what do you think?"

"Let the rice store prepare the food in these two days. After two days, if there is any change, the food will be released immediately according to the wishes of the Hunter family."

"good."

The old man seemed to be quite satisfied with the eldest son's performance, at least he kept a hand, he didn't cling to the sacred and inviolable rules of aristocratic property, and was ready to sell his teammates at any time.

"It's better to teach my father."

"But it's not enough."

In the face of his eldest son's flattery, Viscount Ander didn't show any modesty. In his opinion, it was indeed his credit. This son finally enlightened a lot, and he didn't die hard with those fools.

He can see clearly than most people that the rules of the kingdom restrain most people, whether it is the Waraya family in the south or the Ross family in the west, even King Ren is bound by these rules, but Hunter Houses are different from all kingdom nobles.

At least two sky-level powerhouses plus four giant dragons, as well as a powerful army, the Hunter family has unruly strength, and the rules are originally made by the strong. The Hunter family is not a follower of the rules, but The rule makers, it is a bit whimsical to expect the rules among the nobles of the kingdom to restrain the Hunter family.

"Please teach my father."

Hearing that Viscount Ander said it was not enough, the middle-aged man standing beside him was a little puzzled.

"Not only must the rice store open immediately, but the food must also be prepared in full, and the food will be sold in the afternoon of the next day."

"Don't wait for the actions of the Hunter family?"

"Wait, are you waiting for the giant dragon from Hunter's family to burn our Fort Ander?"

"Here, will they really attack Anderburg directly?"

"Don't think about whether they dare or not. If the Hunter family does this, can someone make them pay the price? If not, why wouldn't the Hunter family dare?"

"Wait until the afternoon of the last day, no matter what happens to other people or the Hunter's family, the Andel family's rice store must immediately start selling grain normally."

"Yes, my lord father."

As the night fell, another day passed in the solemn atmosphere of Burleigh City.

…

Santo's Mansion

"Is there any movement among the nobles in the river valley today?"

"Hehe, the rice and grain store is open as usual, but there is no grain. Now some civilians in Bolai City have begun to panic, and the price of grain has doubled again in the black market."

"Sure enough, the knife didn't reach the neck, and there are always some people who can't understand the situation."

"However, Lord Molly, this subordinate has discovered some interesting things in the past two days."

Although Dane currently controls the 25,000-strong army of the River Valley Army, he has already regarded himself as a subordinate in front of Molier, and his ability to beat snakes and sticks has never weakened.

"Um?"

"Two of the eleven families in Burley seem to be secretly delivering grain to the rice store."

"It doesn't matter, you don't need to spend any more energy to pay attention. When the time comes, we can just act according to the plan."

"Yes, my lord!"

The nobles in the River Valley are obviously not as united as they were at the meeting, but to Molly, their attitude is not important...
