Inside the main hall of Fort Kawal.

Pedi sat on the throne of the lord on a high platform, and the many nobles below were crowded around the few tables and chairs.

Baron Gomez Sacco and Count Belle Cayde knelt on one knee beside the platform, and Sir Edwin Filmin quietly withdrew several steps to distance themselves from the two of them.

At this moment, the young ruler on the lord's throne was so angry that his face turned pale, and the nobles who were crowded together were either gloating or cold-eyed.

"Good, good!" Pei Di's angry voice echoed in the hall, and he stared coldly at the two kneeling people below, "I will personally arrange for someone to investigate Cowlier's crimes, but you..." His gaze suddenly sharpened, "Count Bell, you just said that your territory can only pay the tax items registered with the tax bureau?"

Upon hearing this, Earl Bell Cade immediately raised his head and looked at Pedy, "Yes, your tax commissioner will come to CapitaLand every year to supervise our grain fleet and weigh the points. ”

"Good!" Pedi grew louder, and many of the nobles in the hall felt their eardrums tremble.

The young ruler looked at his knight captain, Sir Cella, "Let the knight guards prepare, I will go to Earl Bell's territory this afternoon, and I will personally supervise the measurement of the land of Cade's territory!" his tone became colder and colder, "Count Bell-Cade, do you dare to swear in front of the Giant Bear Banner?"

"My lord, I—" Bell Cade shuddered.

"Listen up!" said Pedi, who no longer gave him a chance to speak, "if I find out that you are cheating on me, your family title will be revoked, and your people will be exiled—" he glared at Bell and exclaimed, "And you, the old mulberry tree outside the city will be your final destination." ”

"My lord—" Count Bell only felt a little tingling in his scalp, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

"Write down my words!" Pedi yelled at Cira.

Sira nodded respectfully, "My lord, your knightly guards will appear at the gate of the castle on time this afternoon. ”

"And you," Peidi pointed to the nobles below, "I'll spend half a year patrolling your territory. ”

"Master Pedi!" Baron Gomez stood up suddenly, his tall frame blocking most of the sight of Pedi and the nobleman, and asked, holding his back straight, "Are you doubting our loyalty?"

"Are you loyal?" asked Pedi.

"My three sons, this is the best proof!"

"Shut up for me. Pedi slammed himself up from his seat, "I've lost my brother too, and that's the one you swore allegiance to!" his eyes filled with a golden glow, "I have personally fought on the front line, and thousands of soldiers have died there, and they were also the sons of my parents!"

His tone became colder and colder, "You will boast about your loyalty in front of other nobles almost every day, bullshit! You are a hypocritical villain, you don't even have the courage to go to war, you pushed three young men to the battlefield to escape the war, while you yourself hide in the warm villa and enjoy the wine and women!"

"Are you insulting me?" said Baron Gomez, his whole body trembling with anger.

"Insult you, are you worthy?" Pei Di's tone revealed disdain, "Flame Flower God of War, you tell me, you participated in that war, how many enemies did you kill?" As he spoke, he looked at the many nobles, "You can also tell me what war this Crewe-led Flame Flower God of War has participated in, and what are his respectable achievements?"

The nobles looked at each other when they heard this.

"Talk!" Peddy exclaimed, "dumb?" he pointed to Baron Gomez, "you, you say it yourself!"

"My lord, the Sacco family has countless records in history, and these are all proofs of the loyalty of the Sacco family!" Baron Gomez's forehead began to sweat coldly, "Last year's war, my three sons..."

"Shut up!" Pedi snapped, "From now on, you are not allowed to show off the achievements of your three sons, and the reputation of the Sacco family for two hundred years is about to be ruined by you... And you!" he pointed to the young Baron Bell, "do you have a brain? What are you doing now? Didn't your father's wisdom pass on to you?

The more the young ruler spoke, the more angry he became, and he went down the steps and stabbed the Earl of Bell-Cade in the chest with the hilt of his sword at his waist.

He was really angry and had a reason to be angry.

But as a ruler he shouldn't be angry, and he can't be angry at this time.

Bell Cade was poked to the ground by Pedy, and the many aristocrats huddled together behind him immediately let out a burst of boos.

"Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang"

They slapped the table or the bowl on the table.

It makes the whole hall as noisy as the morning market.

They were protesting against what the ruler had just done, but it undoubtedly annoyed Pedi even more, and anger prevailed over reason in this moment, and the power of embodiment was attached to the sword in an instant.

"My lord!" Sir Sir Sila next to her quickly stepped forward and grabbed Pedy's wrist, she looked at Baron Gomez, who was standing in front of him, who was neither retreating nor advancing, and Count Bell, who was kneeling on one knee again, and said loudly: "If Baron Gomez and Count Bell are wrong, you can just let them change it, why make such a big fuss?"

She was reminding Peddy that the occasion was not the right time for him to vent his anger casually.

Hearing this, Pedi tilted his head to look at Knight Sira's delicate face, the cold feeling from the other party's armor made him feel a lot more sober, and Ciara continued: "Today's request is in line with all the laws, you should listen patiently to their explanations, only in this way can you make the right judgment." ”

The onlooker always sees the facts.

For her interruption, Pei Di was very unhappy, and it should be said that no one would like to be interrupted like this. But he also knew that Sila was right. Look, when he pointed at Baron Gomez and Count Bell and cursed, the banter and ridicule in the eyes of the nobles were like watching a clown's performance.

"Whew" The young ruler let out a long breath and began to breathe deeply, and the iron smell of Sira's armor and the fragrance of the woman entered his nostrils.

At this point, Cira let go of the hand that was holding Pedy's wrist and took a step back and bowed her head.

Pedi stared at her for a few seconds, and he saw the admonition in the other's eyes. Then he turned his gaze to the most conspicuous of all, Baron Gomez and Count Bell.

Finally, he silently retreated to his lord's throne and was silent.

The nobles below did not attack at this time, and Baron Gomez and Count Bell also kept their mouths shut. Because at the beginning, they really felt the killing intent of the young ruler.

After five minutes of silence, Pedi waved his hand under the gaze of many nobles, "It's all gone." ”

"Master Pedi!" Count Bell, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly turned his heart aside, "You are really determined to protect that wandering mage!"

"I am on the side of truth. Pedi stood up and prepared to walk towards the side door, he didn't want to stay here for another minute, and he didn't want to talk nonsense with them anymore, he was afraid that he would be angry again.

Count Bell stood up abruptly and roared at Pedi, who was about to leave, "Aren't you afraid that the events of Fort Elok will be repeated in Crewe?"

The abrupt topic exploded in the ears of the nobles in the hall, and the hall, which had been noisy because of Pedi's announcement of its disbandment, became as quiet as a pin because of the young nobleman's roar.

In an instant, all eyes in the hall were focused on Count Bell Cade. And Pedi walked halfway to an abrupt end, he turned his head suddenly, and his eyes revealed boundless killing intent.

"Walk, step!" the young ruler quickly turned back, and he walked to the Earl of Bell Cade, escorted by Sir Cyra and Sir Banger.

As Pedy walked within two steps of Bell Cade, he asked, "What did you just say?" and his tone was surprisingly calm, as calm as if he were talking to an old friend.

Earl Bell Cade knelt down on one knee again under Pedy's gaze and bowed his head,

He didn't have the courage to repeat it again.

"Baron Gomez. Pedi kept his eyes on Bell Cade, and he pointed to Baron Gomez next to him and said, "Tell me, what did the great Earl's Lord just say?"

Baron Gomez's whole body trembled when he heard this, and his body involuntarily took two steps back and knelt on one knee again.

"Tell me?" said Pedy, gesturing to Sir Edwin nearby.

Sir Edwin's slightly fat body shook visibly, and all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Rao was eloquent at this time, and he didn't know how to answer, "Plop!" He could only choose to get down on his knees to show his panic.

Pedi looked around at the nobles around him, "Good!

"Bang!" Pedi kicked Bell Cade in the chest with an abrupt kick, knocking him to the ground.

"Go back to your territory and prepare for battle. Pedi's cold tone came: "Soon, my Guards will be treading every piece of land in the Cade Territory, and I will measure your land with my whip." ”

Lying on the ground, Bell Cade was shocked and looked at Pedi with incredible eyes, but Pedy's cold eyes made him dare not look directly.

He suddenly felt that the floor was cold, a kind of coolness that invaded the bone marrow.

He turned his head and looked at the many nobles behind him,

But all the nobles looked away from him.

At this moment, the young nobleman, who had just succeeded to the title of count, seemed to understand something...

"Haha!" Bell Cade burst out laughing, then quickly rolled over to his feet, he stood up straight and looked at Peddy, "I'll have the Cade family's heavy cavalry squadron await you." With that, he immediately turned away.

Pedi didn't speak, he silently looked at the departing Bell Cade,

The nobles were watching him too.

As Bell Cade walked to the door, Pedi turned and walked towards his dedicated aisle.

This time, no one dared to stop him again.

It was only at this moment that the aristocracy realized that their monarch's reform of the tax item was not a whim.

After Pedy left, Edwin slowly got up from the ground, patted the dust off his body, and without even looking at Baron Mags, who had just stood out in the hall, he walked straight to a nobleman dressed like a knight in hard leather armor.

"Sir Derick Denny. Sir Edwin said hello.

"Sir Edwin Film. The other party responded politely.

"Did you think of such an outcome?"

"Not unexpected. ”

Sir Edwin smirked, "I warned you, but you didn't listen. ”

"It doesn't turn out badly, is it?" said Sir Derick, smiling reservedly.

"Beware of setting yourself on fire. ”

"A lot of people will get me out of the fire. ”
