Three days later, in the Dragon Hall.

Emily sat on the Iron Throne and looked down at the courtiers below.

Today, she wore a beautiful and intricate silver-white robe, with gold trim embroidered on the sleeves and neckline, revealing an indescribable temperament. Her long silver-blonde hair was coiled up, and she wore a simple dragon-shaped crown on her head, which set off her not tall and delicate body with a majestic royal demeanor.

Although he has not yet officially ascended the throne, the entire people of Congatro already know that the kingdom is about to have a new queen!

For the past three days, the Dragonborn army has marched north.

With centaurs and spear-winged knights as the main body, as well as half of the wizarding regiment and ultramarines, Emilys made a beeline for the Duchy of Etis and the Duchy of Brandon. Wren opened the Ethereal Gate to teleport the army, and it only took half an hour to break through the capital of Etis, "Eagle City".

The vassal lords of the Duchy of Etis even more fell in despair and submitted to His Majesty the Dragonborn.

In two days, the army captured Neverwinter, the capital of the Duchy of Brandon, as well as several major cities of the Brandon family. When the Dragonborn army arrived in Eternal Winter, the Brandon family hadn't even received the news that Marc was dead.

Din Raj also led a transcendent army to the west and successfully took the leaderless Duchy of Danse.

At this point, the Dragonborn conquered all of Congatro.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Emilys' gaze swept over the people in the Dragon Hall, lingering on Wren's body for half a second, a smile rising at the corner of her mouth, and said with a smug voice, "Now is the time to discuss how to deal with the captives and the future rule of the entire kingdom." ”

There are more than a dozen people under the Iron Throne, all of whom are important figures in the Dragonborn camp.

Hearing Emily's words, the people were refreshed and knew that the time had come to distribute the benefits. Especially the dukes, princes, and legendary transcendents of the major families of Congatro, some are eagerly looking forward to it, some are apprehensive, and their expressions are different.

However, Emilys waited for several seconds without anyone responding.

She frowned slightly, knowing very well that these people, except for Wren, might be trying to figure out their own thoughts, and if they didn't speak, they wouldn't be willing to stand up.

Even Valrogan, who had followed him for many years and was loyal, remained silent.

"Let's start with the disposal of the captives. Emilys called by name, "Valogan, report the list of the captives and read them to everyone." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Valrogan stood up, saluted respectfully to the queen on the throne, then turned to read out the names.

The list is long, led by Duke Brandon and Coster of House Danse, and the rest are vassal lords under Marker, most of whom were heroes who overthrew the Drogon Castle dynasty back then, and of course, from Emilys's point of view, traitors and enemies.

Everyone on the list is a well-known figure in the kingdom, and many more have been killed in the wars of the past few days.

Valrogan didn't look at the records, but reported the names, families, and past experiences of these people from memory, and it took half an hour to finish.

He sat down again.

There was silence in the dragon hall again, and the lords quietly looked up at the queen on the throne, noticing that her face was not good-looking, and the names of these people seemed to bring back unpleasant memories for her.

Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't dare to be the first to speak.

Ding Laji couldn't hold it back, got up and asked, "Your Majesty, what should be done with these captives, please show me." ”

"It's all cut. ”

Emily's answer was simple, but it made everyone's hearts skip a beat, and she continued: "All those who participated in the usurpation war of that year were beheaded and deprived of their fiefs and surnames, including their families, and not a single one could be left. ”

"Your Majesty!" Ding Raj was shocked, "is this going too much to kill at least two thousand people?"

"Hmph......" Emily's eyes were cold, and she said lightly: "In the usurpation war, the enemy's butcher's knife has never been merciful. Few of the people who have dragonborn blood in their bodies, even if it is only a few, survive, and the vassal lords and people who are loyal to the Drogonburg family, how many people do you think they killed?"

Ding Laji couldn't answer, but he expected in his heart that the number must be more than 50,000!

In order to completely sweep away the influence of the Dragonborn and prevent the forces of the Zogenburg family from counterattacking, the army under the command of Marker launched a half-month-long purge, which was full of blood, leaving a terrifying record in the royal domain.

Dinkraj didn't dare to answer the question.

Because the person who decided to kill the killer and carry out the massacre completely was his father, Duke Dans. Now that the Duke of Dans is dead, he fears that Her Majesty's wrath will turn on the Dans family.

"Is Duke Brandon going to be executed too?" asked Dinkraj changing the subject.

Emily nodded without hesitation.

The several dukes and princes present were all slightly frightened, although they had already guessed this result, and when they were really sure, they couldn't help but be a little frightened.

The execution of a duke is also a legendary high-ranking transcendent, which is unique in the history of Congartro.

Before the usurpation war, the struggle between the nobles had always been a fight but not broken, and the seven major families maintained a tacit understanding, and at most they ceded land and paid compensation, which rarely involved the life and death of the lord, let alone the life of a duke.

The usurpation war broke this unspoken rule, like unleashing a demon in the abyss, and there was no turning back.

By the time Duke Brandon died, the blood feud between the two families deepened.

In the future, unless one of the families perishes, this hatred will never be resolved, but it is Malk and his allies who broke the rules first, and His Majesty's revenge is beyond reproach.

Duke Brandon had a great reputation among the people of Congartro for his generosity and justice, but he was the main force in overthrowing the Drogon Castle dynasty. It was because of his support that he led the Ice Wolf Knights south, and Marke's army flanked the Dragonborn's army on both sides, besieging the royal capital Kingsland.

The Marc rebel triumvirate, and one is Duke Etis, who is the brainchild of the three, but he is dead, and he can only count the old and new hatreds on the head of Duke Brandon.

Seeing that Emilys was resolute, the crowd did not dare to persuade her again, so as not to upset her.

Ding Laji hesitated for a moment, and then asked boldly: "Your Majesty, Koster was not involved in the affairs of the year, can you spare his life?"

Emily looked at her advisor with some hesitation in her eyes.

After a few seconds, she said, "Are you sure you want to intercede for him?" and before Din Raj could reply, she added, "I intended you to inherit the Duke of Danse, and if Koster does not die, he will be your greatest threat in the future." ”

Ding Raj couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

His face was very complicated, as the son that his father hated and even hated the most, and was expelled from the family, he never thought that he would one day inherit the title of duke.

The entire Duchy of Danse knew that Koster was the sole heir.

Even if he conquered the Duchy of Danse with his army in the past few days, he never thought that he would be recognized by his family and people, after all, he gave a bad impression when he was young.

Maybe in the eyes of the clansmen, he is just a villain, and he is not worthy of the title of duke at all.

Ding Laji's expression was cloudy, as if there was a voice in his heart tempting him, as long as he ignored Koster and let him be executed, then he could become the Duke of Dans, with the support of His Majesty, no matter how much the clansmen objected, it was useless, and he could easily suppress it.

But then he thought of how much Koster cared about him, and he was the only one in the family who was genuinely good to him.

All the past flashed through Din Raj's mind.

"No......" Ding Laji's voice was a little hoarse, and he said with a struggling face: "I don't want to be the Duke of Dans, please Your Majesty for the sake of my feelings, spare Koster's life." I have already interrogated him, and he was not aware of the Danse family's defection this time, it was all my father's idea, and he was also kept in the dark. ”

It was as if he had exhausted all his strength to say this.

Everyone in the Dragon Hall was impressed, in this world, there are really people who can refuse the temptation of the title of duke!

You know, His Majesty has always intended to appoint Din Raj as the Imperial Prime Minister.

As a single person, both Duke and Prime Minister, Din Raj will have a higher status in Congartro in the future, second only to His Majesty and Wren.

Emilys looked at Dinglaj for a long time, and finally nodded.

"Good. She agreed, "If Koster wants to live, he must pay a ransom of ten million golden dragons, and four territories bordering the Duchy of Zogonburg, and ......," she paused, "I want one of his hands, his right hand." ”

Ding Raj almost didn't jump, and the three conditions were more ruthless than the other.

Indemnity, land cut, and hand break!

And Emilys designated Coster's right hand, which was his sword-gripper, and once it was cut off, its strength would drop by more than thirty percent.

Koster is a legendary high-level transcendent with a strong ability to heal himself, but he can't be reborn with a broken limb, even if the empire asks the legendary priest of the Earth Church to perform the "restoration technique" of more than seven rings and regrow his right hand, it will be difficult to recover his previous strength.

This will also affect Koster's cultivation, and I'm afraid it won't be possible to upgrade for decades.

Obviously, His Majesty is still on guard against the Danse family, trying to stifle Koster's potential.

Dinkraj subconsciously objected, but bumped into Emilys' indifferent gaze, opened his mouth, and finally only said one word: "Yes." ”

Next, Emilys went on to state her plans.

The Duchy of Etis ceded five territories and incorporated into the Drogonburg family, and with the addition of four territories of the Duchy of Danse to the west, the Duchy of Drogenburg became the second largest principality in Congartro by area, after the Duchy of Brandon. The Duchy of Brandon has no borders, the territory is barren and cold, and almost worthless, so there is no need to cede the land, but the compensation cannot be less.

Emilys only asked for five million gold dragons, and was allowed to pay it over ten years.

The entire Duchy of Brandon has a population of just over three million people, and its production is scarce, so it is impossible to come up with such money. Even if you only need to hand over 500,000 gold dragons every year, it is like a big mountain pressing on the head of the Brandon family, making the principality breathless.

This is exactly what Emilys wants, to crush the enemy's territory and people.

If it weren't for the jealousy of the gods, she would definitely have wiped out these three families directly, and would never give them a chance to breathe.

The meeting in the Dragon Hall lasted for two hours, and Wren remained silent from beginning to end, watching from the cold eyes as Emily showed her ruthlessness on the Iron Throne.

She's already a worthy queen.

After the meeting, he walked out of the Dragon Hall, and the figures of Cadegar and Cleos appeared in front of him, both with a relaxed smile on their faces.

"How's that?" Wren asked with concern. He originally thought that the two speakers teamed up to kill the Spirit Wind Stag, but he didn't expect that it would take three days, and he almost thought that there was an accident and missed.

"See for yourself. ”

Cadegar took out a soul stone and handed it over.

Wren caught it and saw that there was a demon soul of a cyan giant deer in the soul stone, and more than twenty elements emerged, including the super element "Endless Spring Breeze" that he wanted to see the most!
