Chapter 0411: Prison Visit
In mid-July, at the time of the harvest, the Count Meredith led a triumphant crusade.
The army completely captured the city of Edgar in only half a day, and captured the recalcitrant Earl Needham, who had been shouting for the good looks of Count Meredith before the battle, only to become a prisoner in the blink of an eye.
Almost at the same time, the decapitation team led by Arka also captured Earl Shelley after paying a huge price.
No one thought that there were two legendary warriors lurking around Earl Shelley, plus Countess Shelley, a total of three legendary warriors.
If it weren't for the fact that the five special service team leaders were dispatched at the same time, and Taylor was also arranged to be the internal response, I am afraid that the two of them would have to be explained there.
But overall, it ended very well.
Seeing that the two counts were all captured, the other lords all fell in despair, and some even fled with the whole family directly for fear of revenge from the county of Meredith.
Lei Ye naturally likes to hear about it, which saves him a lot of trouble, at least he doesn't have to feed too many idle guys.
At the beginning of August, all the nobles who had joined the Anti-Demon Alliance gathered in the City of Plenty, ostensibly to surrender, but in fact to be judged.
How could Lei Ye be polite to these wall grasses who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard, and all the ones who could masturbate were jerked off, and in the end, only a dozen nobles with a good reputation kept their titles.
The nobles who had defected to Cheng before were glad for their decision, otherwise they would have ended up in the same fate as these people.
The prisons of the City of Plenty are overcrowded these days, and any few of them may bring out a viscount or two barons.
They repented too late, and all of them verbally criticized Earl Shelley, who provoked the war, and if they were not imprisoned, they would have to eat each other alive.
Count Needham was still lucky: "Don't worry, they don't dare to do anything to us, we are nobles canonized by the king himself, can we kill them all?"
"Oh, do you really think so?" Reynard's cold voice suddenly sounded, and the smell of killing was strong.
When Count Needham heard this, a cold sweat immediately flowed down, and he was just talking quickly, and he didn't want to be heard.
The surrounding nobles were suddenly silent, and they all stayed away from this unlucky guy, and threw themselves at Lei Ye to beg
Good looks.
Count Needham gritted his teeth and said stiffly: "What? You still dare to kill me? You must know that it is a crime to murder nobles!"
"Oh?" Renard smiled sarcastically, "So you know it's a crime to murder a nobleman." ”
As he spoke, he took out the charges in his pocket and sneered: "Not only have you committed murder, but you have also destroyed the unity of the kingdom, provoked wars without authorization, and connived at the kidnapping of soldiers, each of which is enough to send you to the gallows. ”
Hearing this, Count Needham shuddered, he swallowed his saliva, and said in a difficult tone: "Nonsense, this is a frame-up. ”
Renard didn't bother to talk to him, and asked in a loud voice, "Is there a frame-up?"
The whole prison was silent, and everyone wanted to hide from each other far away, where would they dare to testify, and besides, these were all facts.
Seeing this, Renard nodded in satisfaction, and then asked, "Does anyone want to point out these incriminating evidence of Count Needham?"
In an instant, the entire prison exploded, and countless nobles rushed to the prison door, shouting, "I do!
"Very good!" Lei Ye's face was full of smiles: "Come on, take these masters out." ”
After that, the two cell leaders took out the key to open the cell door, and respectfully took out the six people ordered by Lei Ye.
Seeing this, the others desperately wanted to squeeze out, and said as they squeezed: "I am also willing, I am also willing." ”
Renard glanced at them coldly and sneered, "You're late." ”
Then he didn't care about the rest of the begging for mercy, and walked to the innermost cell of the cell.
The Earl of Shelley was sitting on the bed with his hair disheveled, his eyes fixed on the opposite wall, and his face was full of lovelessness.
Renard stopped outside the cell, looked at the weathered old man inside, and felt inexplicable emotion in his heart.
Who would have thought that the aristocratic lord who was in power in the past would suddenly end up in prison, which is really impermanent.
He cleared his throat and shouted, "Earl Shelley." ”
The other party ignored him, still staring at the opposite wall, as if there was something more attractive to the other party.
Instead of being annoyed, Renard calmly asked, "Earl Shelley, I have a question that I still can't understand, can you give me the answer?"
The other party still ignored him, and his eyes didn't even change.
Renard said to himself, "I'm curious, why do you want to target the county of Meredith everywhere?"
After asking and waiting for a long time, Earl Shelley's eyes finally regained some vitality.
He tugged at the corners of his mouth and said in a dry voice, "Do you still need to ask, since you have become the king's lackey, you are the enemy of all the nobles of Nanhuang County. ”
The king's lackey? Renard thought about it, he just accepted the king's canonization, and it didn't seem that he had done anything like an eagle dog, but the other party said yes.
He took two steps forward and continued to ask, "I still have a question, why do the nobles of Southern Wilderness County hate the king so much, and Earl Ian even did not hesitate to send someone to assassinate Princess Sylvia. ”
"Oh, is there such a thing?" said Earl Shelley, with a look of sarcasm in his eyes, "I thought he was a coward, but it seems that I blamed him for it." ”
Renard tilted his head nondeniably: "Explain." ”
Earl Shelley took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and then slowly opened them again: "The thing is actually very simple, when the demon plague broke out thirty years ago, Ferdinand's grandfather adopted the same policy and abandoned the remote Southern Wilderness County. ”
The same policy?Lei Ye immediately reacted: "He withdrew the southern garrison?"
Earl Shelley nodded: "That's right, we are outcasts, since then, the lords of Southern Wilderness County have recognized the reality, the king is unreliable, and the only reliable is himself." ”
He looked at Lei Ye, and the sarcasm on his face became even stronger: "The king gave up on us at the most difficult time, is such a king worthy of our allegiance." ”
"In fact, since 30 years ago, Nanhuang County has been in a state of complete autonomy, and we have long been accustomed to this kind of life. ”
"However, it is ridiculous that the greedy Ferdinand wants to establish a centralized state, this is our land, and he wants to take away what belongs to us. ”
Earl Shelley clenched his fists and looked very hideous.
Renard never imagined that the old nobleman, who was originally mild-mannered, would be able to make such a terrifying expression.
