Chapter 453: Heads Rolling
"Don't try to mess with me!" Muria tapped the head of Princess Lori, who was slightly shining, and in her ruby eyes, Muria saw something bad in her.
"Ahh
"You still want to sabotage the floating ship?" Muria suddenly pulled Remilia's fair and tender cheeks with some amusement.
"I'm not, I didn't, you heard me wrong. The face changed under Muria's palm, and Princess Remilia muttered quietly with a hint of luck.
"So far, I've requisitioned more than 2,400 floating ships, do you want to destroy them all?" asked Muria with a smile after enjoying the extreme touch of Remilia's soft face.
The white-robed young man raised his head slightly, looking in the direction of Cloud Island's levitation, and from where he was now, he could see four intermittent "thin lines" connecting from Cloud Island to the distance.
It was composed of floating ships loaded with supplies, transporting resources from all over the country to Yun Island to meet the construction needs of the Yun Island renovation project.
Seeing this scene, Muria inexplicably thought of the twenty thrilling spatial vortices in the sky above the Sky Machinery City of the Machine Emperor Osiris, as well as the twenty steel torrents composed of various warships that connected the spatial vortex.
"If I can borrow a steel torrent, it will only take a month at most, and I will be able to solve the problem of material transportation," an unrealistic idea appeared in Muria's mind, but then in less than half a breath, Muria erased this idea, "It's too useless, if you really have such a fleet, what materials can you transport, just go to some countries established by evil races to grab it." ”
And just when Muria fell into unrealistic fantasies, Princess Lori, who was startled by the string of numbers reported by Muria, fell into deep thought, and after traveling around the country, she was no longer the Lori princess who had nothing to do before.
......
At the end of the year after the end of the plague, in the twelfth year of Muria's reign, a sensational news spread throughout the Rockman Kingdom: Grand Duke Muria was about to crown Princess Remilia in person.
Every nobleman who heard the news was cheering and excited, and the message revealed by this news was very clear, this golden dragon grand duke, who was in the most powerful place in the dragon clan, was finally leaving the Rockman Kingdom.
For the nobles of the Rockman Kingdom, it is not too uncomfortable to have a king who is orderly and good, but when this ruler has absolute force and his style of behavior is particularly domineering, it is very uncomfortable.
When Muria first came to power, he killed many nobles to establish his power. Because of the existence of the ten ancient dragons, none of the nobles dared to jump out and make any strange sounds.
In this case, all the nobles of the Rockman Kingdom, including the seven dukes with legendary strength, are honest, restraining their tentacles and minions hidden in the dark, restraining their families, and not wanting to incur the hostility and disgust of the archarch.
Because all the nobles who were unwilling to restrain and liked to make noise were hung by Muria on the tree outside the royal city, the remaining nobles were very AC in their hearts and knew what to do and what not to do.
It is worth mentioning that during Muria's tenure as archduke, the number of professional warriors such as paladins in the Rockman Kingdom increased several times, which was naturally the result of the creation of nobles who catered to Muria's preferences.
What is good at the top will be very bad at the bottom.
In order to curry favor with the rulers, the magnates can do anything, and what is it to train their descendants to be noble holy warriors, and there are many nobles who dress up their daughters and granddaughters beautifully, and try every means to dig out their minds and send them to Muria, of course, it is basically useless.
In general, most nobles are extremely disliked by rulers like Muria, and Muria does not have much of a good face for them, and will raise the butcher's knife when he has the opportunity.
The most ruthless time Muria killed was during the Demon Calamity, because of the random appearance of demons and the growing strength, which terrified the nobles scattered throughout the kingdom.
Therefore, at the beginning, some nobles abandoned their territories and people, dragged their families and fled to the royal capital, seeking refuge. For this kind of irresponsible nobles, Muria showed no mercy, one counts as one, and the fiefdom nobles who fled to the imperial capital were all cut down, and the crime: leaving their posts without permission.
In Muria's view, since the commoners provided for the nobles, the nobles had an obligation to shelter the commoners when disaster struck. The relationship between the two is mutually beneficial, and there should be no unilateral demand.
The nobles did not protect the commoners, so why did the nobles ask the commoners to work hard to support him. In ordinary times, many benefits are enjoyed by the wine pond and meat forest, and in the event of a disaster, the civilians are left to bear it themselves?
After the fiefdom nobles who fled to the royal capital with their families were killed by Muria and his family and relatives, no fiefdom nobles ran to the royal capital.
Well, if you don't run to the royal capital, run to other places, many weak nobles are unwilling to stay in the territory, in their opinion, they are waiting for death.
It is human nature to seek advantage and avoid harm, and it is normal to want to run away when encountering a danger that threatens one's life, but Muria, the Grand Duke who can govern, does not understand this, or he does not agree with the aristocracy's escape.
The Demon Hunter Monument has spread all over every city in the country of Rockman, and even if there is a legendary demon in the most backward city, as long as the news of asking for help is sent, there will still be a legendary ancient dragon coming.
In this case, Muria couldn't tolerate the escape of the fiefdom nobles at all, so in the middle and early stages of the Demon Calamity, Muria asked the mages he raised to form a picket hunting team with some five-colored dragons who took refuge in him, and hunted down those fiefdom nobles who abandoned their territories full-time.
After killing the heads of the people, no nobleman dared to abandon the territory and run away. In the middle and late stages of the Demon Plague, there were even strange nobles who ate and lived next to the Demon Hunting Monument.
With such treatment, almost none of the nobles of the Rockman Kingdom would have a good impression of Muria, so they were naturally overjoyed to hear the news that Princess Remilia was about to ascend the throne.
This Golden Dragon Grand Duke, who likes to operate knives every day and has nothing to do to cut them, is finally leaving.
