Chapter 382: Chasing Fame and Fortune
Fifteen days earlier, the sergeant major had seen this style of armor, but at that time, there were hundreds of cloud giants wearing this type of armor. And they are just serving as a background board for the ruling Grand Duke Muria, and in terms of majesty, they are not at all comparable to those storm giants riding giant rosters.
However, when he saw through the spell image transmitted from the royal capital, that this inconspicuous cloud giant had really appeared in front of him, the sergeant major only felt that he was trembling and a little unsteady on his feet.
At this point, it was too late to say anything, and he could only watch as the cloud giant smashed through the castle of his allegiance to the lord, and then caught the incomparably noble lord in his eyes like a worm.
From beginning to end, the sergeant didn't move, he didn't dare. The fifteen-meter-tall giant had the power to make people lose all their courage just by standing, not to mention that his untwisted heavy sword was now on the ground, reminding him of the terrifying power of the cloud giant.
"What do you want to do? I'm a nobleman of the Rockman Kingdom, and you dare to do this to me. ”
At this time, the cloud giant broke through the simple and low small castle and took it out, and the nobleman in his hand shouted in horror. He was really afraid, anyone sitting at home and being taken out and held in his hands by a giant would not be much better than him.
"You still know that you are a nobleman of the Rockman Kingdom, why don't you obey the orders of the Grand Duke of Muria?"
The Cloud Giant asked. He was the cloud giant who was assigned to this city to be captured, and he was alone, after all, he was just an ordinary human viscount, even if he gathered all the forces under his command, he had no power to resist in the face of him.
However, before being arrested, he still needs to conceal his identity and confirm whether this is the kind of nobleman who does not respect the king's order as described in the list. Arrests can only be made after confirmation.
"I ......" Hearing the cloud giant's question, the nobleman opened his mouth with some remorse and wanted to explain, but unfortunately the cloud giant didn't give him a chance to explain at all, or it was useless to explain, he was only in charge of arresting.
"Okay, I don't need to talk about the extra nonsense, but after I get to the royal city, I can explain it to your executioner. ”
...... A similar scene takes place throughout the Rockman Kingdom, where the twelve giant commanders immediately begin to distribute tasks after they get the list, and then all the giants who receive the tasks set off together. After confirming that the target was indeed disrespecting the king's order, he immediately carried out the arrest.
This is only a small part of the nobles in the Rockman Kingdom, and their own strength and strength belong to the lowest group, mainly low-level nobles such as barons and viscounts, and the highest is only an earl, which can be easily solved.
To tell the truth, those barons and viscounts disobeyed their orders, even if they came to the royal city in person, participated in his ruling ceremony, and saw their own majestic earls disobey orders, which made Muria a little puzzled, what kind of funny head show?
I don't know that I can wipe you out by casually sending a cloud giant? Even if you are not sensible, you have to keep up with those legendary dukes and those soul marquises, they all obey them honestly, what are you doing.
According to the list, after all the rebellious nobles were captured in the royal city, Muria sent people to interrogate the nobles and ask why they had the audacity to resist and disobey their orders.
Well, some people think that Muria, the ruling archduke, is temporary and will leave sooner or later, and Princess Remilia will take the throne at that time, so don't care.
And some people think that Muria is a golden dragon, even if he is angry, he will not have a too miserable end, and when the time comes, he will be able to be exempted from the crime and suffer some less serious departures.
The last group just felt that the emperor was far away, and they were lucky, even if they didn't obey the decree and didn't implement the new tax law, it wouldn't be a big deal, and the ruling duke would definitely not notice him.
After asking the reason, Muria ordered some "helplessness" to hand over all these nobles to the dragonborn maid Mia, and let her dispose of them at will. Nobles who don't respect the king's orders, what are they doing here?
Then, the commoners living in the royal capital found that on the third day after the great archon brought back more than 100 cloud islands, hundreds of miserable corpses appeared in the landscape trees outside the city.
The most amazing thing is that the corpses hanging from the trees are all dressed in silk and satin, which only the aristocratic and wealthy merchants can afford.
When these corpses were first discovered, the passing caravans and adventurers were originally curious about the identities of these nobles, but after the news spread, they also attracted the residents of the city to run out of the city to watch.
In the end, someone found that there was a wooden sign inserted around these corpses, which recorded the identity of the corpses before their death, as well as what evil things they had done.
In fact, few of these nobles are capable of doing good deeds, and a brief description of their life deeds is enough to cause curses and resentment from those who pass by.
And when it was understood that the nobles who were hung on the tree by Muria, the royal city instantly boiled, causing a sensation, and countless citizens rushed out of the city to watch, since the founding of the Rockman Kingdom, no king has killed such a large number of nobles at one time, and after killing, it was also hung on the tree.
Regardless of the hustle and bustle outside, and regardless of their comments about themselves, Muria sat on the throne of the council hall, looked at these trembling aristocratic officials, and asked, "Have those nobles' territories arranged for officials to take office?"
"Grand Duke Qiqi, all the officials have been arranged, and they have set off to take up their posts in those rebellious territories, and it will not be long before these territories are in the hands of the kingdom. ”
"Well! Muria nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered: "Pay attention to the implementation of the new tax law at any time, report what you think is unreasonable, and use data to speak." ”
...... In the next three months, it was much calmer, and Muria never made any more trouble, making a big event similar to the slaughter of 300 powerful nobles at one time.
Until one day, Muria had a new idea after receiving a report about a troublesome genius girl somewhere for the hundreds of times. Muria, who was sitting on the table, rubbed her brow with a little headache,
"It's not a good thing to have too many geniuses, young people are too energetic, and with their young talents, it's too easy to make trouble.
The aristocratic geniuses are better, with the constraints and guidance of the family, those civilian geniuses are really troublesome, they don't have too much to worry about, but they are powerful, and they have to find a way to register and manage these wild geniuses.
Well, young people, you like to chase fame and fortune, I promise you fame and give you benefits, I don't believe you are dishonest. ”
