Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Chapter 268: The wild goose plucking its feathers (please subscribe!)

After a tiring journey, it was already approaching evening when Woolley Dennis, Earl of Dale, dragged his family to the banks of the Solon River.

The gorgeous curtains of the carriage have long since been greeted by the mud and gravel on the roadside, and have lost their former style of being repellent to people thousands of miles away.

Afterwards, a fleet of more than a dozen carriages carried almost all the gold and silver treasures of Earl Dale for generations.

The old housekeeper and the few remaining guards were looking around nervously, fearing that their convoy would be robbed by bandits and mercenaries.

After two days of continuous running, Earl Dale finally arrived at the banks of the Sauron River and the land of Idar.

Looking at the Namur Fortress standing across the river bank, Earl Dale felt that his mood was particularly complicated at this time.

A little excited, a little nervous, but also a little painful.

The passage of time and the cold wind of winter have already caused the smoke on the other side of the Solon River to drift away with the wind, and the tragic battlefields on the river bank have been cleaned up by the Idar people.

Only the craters left behind after the artillery bombardment still tell the story of the fierce battles that took place here, or... one-sided crushing.

When the tragedy on the Wagner Plains reached the camp of Lord Odin, Alio O'Sullivan repeatedly ordered Odin's general Raymond O'Sullivan not to disturb the people and local nobles.

Therefore, after this, large-scale massacres and riots did not occur in the land north of Idar Territory.

This is of course not because, as the Odin monarch, Alio O'Sullivan cares about the personal safety of the Norman people and the nobles in the occupied areas, but because in his eyes, the civilians of the Norman Empire living on this land are all They will become captives and slaves of the Odin people, cultivating fields and growing food for them.

After all, compared to living an ordinary life honestly, Odin people prefer to fight and kill. Whether it is a funeral or a wedding, whenever something happens, they like to kill people for fun.

But,

Farming requires manpower!

Without the Norman commoners who were reduced to serfs to cultivate the fields for them, there would be no point in occupying this vast land.

The Odin Empire's plan has long been seen by Earl Dale.

Although at this moment, the butcher knife from the Odin people has not yet fallen on him, he is also very clear that once the Odin Empire completes control of the eastern part of the empire, then they, the nobles of the Norman Empire, will inevitably There will be a day of reckoning!

They had thought about escaping before, but the Idar Territory blocked the only channel that allowed them to safely return to the interior of the empire!

This approach undoubtedly made many local nobles in the eastern part of the empire hate their teeth, but... after the first war with the Odin people ended, the nobles in the eastern part of the empire couldn't help but be shocked!

A local noble in a remote place was able to annihilate an entire army of nearly two thousand Odin's cavalry!

Why?

When the news of the annihilation of Odin's cavalry reached our ears, a big question mark rose over the heads of almost all the eastern nobles!

After the end of the first war, as the cold wind in winter became more and more biting, the eastern part of the empire also entered a strange calm.

However, Woolley Dennis, Earl of Dale, knew very well that the calm in front of him was just the calm before the storm!

So when the rest of the nobles were thankful that the war had finally subsided, he was always paying attention to the news coming from the Odin Empire and Idar.

It is precisely for this reason that when a piece of news from the Idar Territory suddenly reached the ears of Earl Dale, he immediately packed up his luggage, packed his belongings, and hurried towards the direction of the Idar Territory!

That’s right!

As spring progressed, Bruno Stuart, Earl of Idar, finally opened the land route to the interior of the empire, allowing the nobles in the eastern part of the empire to pass through the land of Idar and go to the interior of the empire to escape the scourge of war.

"Regulations on the Movement of Nobles in the Eastern Empire and the Criteria for Noble Immigration".

This is an official document signed by Bruno a week ago. The document puts forward extremely strict requirements on the way for the nobles in the eastern part of the empire to return to the interior of the empire through Idar.

The collection of tolls is one of the most important aspects!

Speaking of tolls,

Bruno's collection of tolls is enough to make people tremble.

only……

In the eyes of others, plucking the hair is leaving the hair behind.

However, the Idar-style plucking of the geese directly leaves the geese alone...

After all... Now that the Idar Territory has decided to incorporate Mann Fortress and officially start a war with the Odin Empire, it means that the relationship between the Idar Territory and the Norman Empire will become extremely delicate.

And these nobles who were caught between the Idar Territory and the Odin Empire naturally became a problem that Bruno was bound to face.

According to Bruno's thinking, since you have decided to escape before the battle, wouldn't it be a very reasonable thing to leave a little bit of the money you have saved to support the Idar Territory's just war against the Odin Empire?

This is entirely for the dignity of the imperial nobles!

think about it,

When they return to the interior of the empire and go to the city of St. Lawrence, wouldn't it sound much better to have the title of a conscientious nobleman who spent all his wealth to fight against the Odin Empire than a noble scum who ran away from the battle and was as cowardly as a mouse?

Bruno is so understanding! He was almost moved to tears by himself!

The evil tiger sheds tears.jpg

so……

After considering the dignity of the nobles, Bruno gave them two choices.

One was to pay the exorbitant toll and return safely to the interior of the empire.

Another option is to give up your legal claim to your original land and become a false noble with Idar citizenship, provided that you meet certain requirements!

It's just that... during the period after the document was issued, Earl Dale was the first imperial noble to take the initiative to come to the Solon River.

"master……"

On the carriage, a richly dressed aristocratic woman called out unbearably.

As the wife of Earl Dale, she naturally knew that the one issued by Idar could be called the "common method" of eating people without spitting out their bones.

If travel expenses are really required to be paid in accordance with the requirements listed above, then I am afraid that at least 90% of the wealth accumulated by the ancestors of the Dennis family will be pocketed by Count Idar.

This is simply taking advantage of the situation!

Extremely shameless!

"Actually...if we don't leave, the Odin people may not really settle the scores as you expected..."

Mrs. Dennis took a look at the belongings carried in the carriage and said reluctantly.

In fact, she also thinks that Odin people are not good people, but the problem is... handing over the wealth accumulated by the Dennis family for generations like this, UU Reading www.uukanｓhu. net She is really hard to let go of.

Not only her, most of the imperial nobles who have been silent are also motivated by such considerations, so they want to wait and see what happens.

"ignorance!"

Wooly Dennis snorted coldly and said.

Of course, he was not willing to hand over such a large amount of wealth to others, but Earl Dale was very aware of his current situation.

If you surrender to Idar, you will lose the savings of generations.

But if you just wait and see what happens like everyone else, then the loss will be your own life!

Which one is light and which one is heavy? He can clearly carry it!

Furthermore……

If I can give a small favor to the low-level officials who count and measure assets, I might not be able to retain more wealth.
