Chapter 145: Change
The former wealthy area in the east of Fordshire was now completely occupied by nobles from other regions, and many of the original minor nobles could only become their vassals. In fact, in the final analysis, the title of nobility was established when the Saint-Franc Empire still existed, and the current royal family has fallen into no one's interest, and it stands to reason that there is not much difference between these nobles. It's a pity that these people who are used to being high on weekdays will give up that kind of extravagant life.
"Why hasn't my dinner been ready yet, and where have all those servants gone?" said Pama, snarling angrily as he looked at the table with only three shriveled whole wheat loaves of bread.
"I'm really sorry to the master, but many hunters haven't gone out to hunt for a while, and the fruit farmers who specialize in providing vegetables have also failed to harvest vegetables and fruits because of the war, so we have no ingredients to make feasts, so we can only eat bread and cereal. A thin, white-haired old man said with a frightened look.
"What useless waste!" Pama angrily tugged at the tablecloth on the table, only to see the silver cutlery fall to the ground in an instant, and the few poor breads also rolled to the side with a gurgling aside.
"Hehe, the lord of Rogue County is really good-tempered. In the shadows, a handsome young man reached out and picked up the bread that had fallen on the ground, patted the dust off it, and bit it down.
"Who! how did you get in!" Pama was also startled by the sudden appearance of the man in front of him, the apartment where he lived was originally a small nobleman, and because of his arrival, he gave up the room to him, and did not forget to add two faithful guards to him at the door.
But he didn't hear a sound, this mysterious man suddenly appeared in the room, Pama is not a stupid person, naturally understands that the other party is definitely a powerful awakened person, and it is definitely not something he can match.
"I'm just a nobody, and I'm here to talk to you. "Naturally, the person who came was Giska, he had already visited a lot of nobles tonight, and this Pama naturally would not be the last.
"Hehe, Your Excellency has rashly broken into my room to talk to me, who do you think would believe such a thing?" said Pa Ma, although he was very scared in his heart, he still pretended to be calm.
It's just that his eyes flickered, and he found that Giscard had strangely disappeared in front of him, and when he came back to his senses, he felt a cold neck, and something was on his neck at the moment.
The cold sweat on Pama's forehead came down in a flash, and he could clearly feel the slightest coolness coming from his neck. It is the most instinctive reaction of the body when a life is threatened.
"This ...... The
Warriors, we, we have something to say. Pa Ma subconsciously lowered his head, and saw a bright dagger resting on his neck, the sharp tip of the knife was only a layer of skin away from his carotid artery, as long as the person was willing, he would fall in a pool of blood in the next second.
"Yawn...... Actually, it doesn't mean anything else, thinking about the county guard, you have a lot of opportunities every day, and you work hard all day, this is not to share the pressure for you, as long as you hand over the army of Roger County in your hands, I will not be here today, what should you do. Giscard yawned and said with some sleepy eyes.
It's just that his yawning can scare Pa Ma half to death, after all, when people yawn, their hands usually subconsciously have a lifting movement. Normally, it's fine, but now that the dagger is still resting on his neck, if he shakes his hand a little, I'm afraid that his life will have to be explained here.
As soon as he thought of this, Pama didn't even hear what Giska said later, so he only felt that his crotch was hot, and he was scared to pee directly.
Giska is also a black line in his head, and the previous nobles will be a few words of stubbornness, and say something about the scene, this guy is good, he was scared to pee directly before he said anything, so that Giska didn't even have the heart to tease the county guard, and pinched his nose with one hand and said: "Hey, hey, hey, I'll let you hand over the military power, hurry up, I still have a lot of things to do." ”
"Huh, what?" Pama came back from his trance, and the faint killing intent emanating from Giska's body made his back chill suddenly, his feet were weak, and he knelt down, crying and saying, "Don't, don't kill me, I promise you any conditions......"
Giska didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so she threw down a letter of appointment and said, "Sign it, and then hand me the token of your troop transfer." ”
Pa Ma only reacted when he saw the letter of appointment signed by the two dukes, and dared to be in love for a long time, the other party just wanted the army in his hand to be used to fight against the Eastern Regions Alliance. This kind of thing would have been said to be over a long time ago, could he still not cooperate?
After signing neatly, he handed a black token to Giska.
Giska really didn't want to see Pamana's cowardice, so he took the token and the letter of appointment and flashed directly, and he didn't want to stay here for any longer.
It was destined to be an unquiet night, and the same thing was going on among every nobleman in Fordshire, large and small, and overnight almost all the nobles who were involved in the council and who had private armies in their hands were sacked, treated the same, and forced to sign their letters of appointment and hand over the tokens of their transfers.
This made these nobles angry and scolded.
But this voice did not last long and then fell silent, because the nobles found a headless doll at the head of their bed, and under the doll was a note pressed under it, with only a simple sentence on it, but it was extremely domineering, "If you don't want to die, shut up." ”
Looking at the headless doll, those nobles chose to be silent one by one, after all, the other party still used the army to fight the coalition forces in the Eastern Regions. If they don't send troops, the Southern Regions will fall, and there will be no eggs under the nest, and they will still be unable to escape the fate of death. Thinking of this, these nobles felt less angry.
Some of the nobles with big nerves even thought that someone had to fight anyway, and they had no soldiers in their hands, so let those people toss it, and it was a big deal that everyone would play together after all the toss was over.
Therefore, the turmoil of this night quickly calmed down, as if nothing had happened, but quietly, Ron had nearly twenty more tokens for troop mobilization in his hands, which made him a little big.
Ron's side stood a man who was nearly middle-aged, and the stubble proved that he was no longer young.
"Jarvis, find a few riders, and take these orders with you, and go overnight to gather all the troops from the surrounding counties to garrison outside Fordshire, and remember, the action must be concealed, and the less people know about it, the better. ”
The man next to Ron was the same herald from the battle against the vanguard of the Eastern Regions, and Sean had given the order for him to obey Ron now. He was originally just a lowest-level herald, but now he felt blessed by his ancestors, and immediately retired as promised after receiving the mission.
Looking at the signed letter of appointment on the table, Ron smiled with relief and said, "Giska, it's been so hard for you. ”
"Anyway, I've already made up my mind to follow you, so what's not hard. But speaking of which, I'm really looking forward to how you're going to win this battle. This time is not as good as before, in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery will be hidden. Don't you think that you can defeat the armies of the Eastern and Western Regions just by relying on the unruly private soldiers under the hands of these nobles?" An ethereal voice came from the darkness, and it was impossible to see people, and it was impossible to locate the direction from which the voice was coming from.
"I naturally have my own plans, and this is only the first step, and now it's time to talk to His Majesty the King. Ron stood up, moved himself, and walked out of the tent, and as he reached the door, he seemed to think of something, and said, "Don't forget those bait, and see what kind of big fish we can catch." ”
