"What's the most important thing to do now?" Fitch said back to the palace, retiring from the idlers and convening the "First Imperial Council," which could be counted on two hands.

Fitch is flanked by Shani, then Eddie, who are also the only women in the Imperial Council. Tron sat opposite Xani as the commander of the Knights of Hell, next to Fitch at the same distance, and his next head was Chancellor of the Exchequer Goode and Secretary of Intelligence Maxers. Well, just now I miscalculated, and I counted it on one hand.

"The treasury needs money. "Your Majesty, with all due respect, your strength can overcome thousands of armies, as we have seen with our own eyes today. But your power cannot do the work for everyone, and the treasury needs money to grow. The sooner this matter is resolved, the better, and if it is too late, you may miss the opportunity. ”

At the right time, Maxers pulled out a long list and passed it to Feige through Goode's hand. "This is an integral part of the aristocratic coalition, and all the nobles, big and small, have recorded it. Maxhers had a rare laugh, but at first glance it seemed a little sinister. "Their forces are buried outside the city, and their castles and territories are waiting to be received," he said. If we don't go, sooner or later the bandits will go. ”

"They will definitely go, but after this defeat, they will not even be able to win against the bandits. Feige finally nodded. "The winner has to be like a winner, and it's good to fill the treasury first, but the key is how much territory we can control. Maxers, how's your on-site workstation arranged?"

"I've brought back all the spies who have performed well before, and there are currently 300 of them, and they are still being trained, but they can already be stationed, and then work and study at the same time, so as not to delay things. There are 60 groups of these people in groups of five. Your Majesty, if the number is too small, it will not work, and there will be no way to supervise each other. ”

Feiqi thought for a moment and said, "First of all, in groups of fifteen people, each group should be accompanied by fifteen soldiers and twenty minions, so that you can effectively target a castle and its surrounding area. So we can start by targeting twenty castles, and you can find the closest and most suitable nobles from the list. Don't worry about their defensive abilities. ”

Thus, the first thing to do after the victory was "occupied", and the twenty castles and the noble domains they represented became the first targets of occupation. News of the battlefield has spread, and the inhabitants of Tawu Harbor City have already received their winnings from the gamble, believing that the nobles already know what choice to make.

From the winner's point of view, it's about reaping their spoils, and from the loser's point of view, it's Feige who has just killed the pillar of their family and then comes to the door to kill them all. In order to improve the efficiency of the various occupation teams and avoid their tongues being treated with due respect, Feige decided to take matters into his own hands. He ordered twenty squads to set off at the same time, and he would make plans based on the distance and then teleport to the castles to "persuade".

Many aristocrats have become frightened birds, hiding in castles or manors with high walls and towers, in search of a false sense of security. Others have completely abandoned resistance to the outside world and are preoccupied with internal strife, trying to get as much as possible for themselves when they escape. Such a scene was in the house of the Count of Valen.

The Earl's use has a splendid castle at the top of a 100-meter hill overlooking and monitoring the woods, fields and three small villages at the foot of the hill. The Counts of Valen have lived here for generations, and there is no record of their castle being breached. However, the fact that the two Scarlet Meteors did not visit this place is actually able to reflect some problems.

Today, the walls are undefended, and the castle gates are open. Men on horseback, in tow and carrying bags were stepping across the drawbridge and running out in a panic, as they passed Feige. Some people cursed Feige why he was getting in the way here, wasn't it long-sighted? Some people said to him excitedly, "Quick, there's still in there, go get it!"

These people obviously came to the castle to make a fortune, and it is possible that none of them are the first wave. Feige leaned sideways to let them pass, then made his way into the castle interior. Inside, almost all the doors of the buildings were open, all the windows were the same, and from time to time something flew out of these holes and threw them to the ground.

Feige did not see the corpses, and there was no blood on the ground, indicating that the raiders were not stopped at all, but had a delicate division of labor. Where is Count Valen?Fitch raised his left hand and released the phantom snake Koktar, who took a quick turn around the castle and found Count Valen, who was locked in the dungeon.

Every nobleman's castle is at the heart of their violent rule, and dungeons have always been a standard. Feige made his way to the west side of the courtyard, descending through the open iron door on the ground and going down the steps. The narrow, rugged stone staircase came to an abrupt end at a wooden door reinforced with iron bars, and a large heavy iron lock fastened to the door, which was probably the only place where the entire castle was closed.

Feige stretched out his finger and gently stroked the door lock, and as the rune spell drifted out, the lock snapped open. Pulling open the reinforced door and stepping on the rotten straw on the ground, Feige entered the dungeon. There are six iron cage cells, separated by stone walls. In the deepest room, Count Valen sat silently on a stone bed, staring at the half of the sausage in his hand.

"How did you get mixed up like this?"

Count Valen's body shook, and then slowly raised his head, with an incredible expression on his face. "Fee...... Lord Hall, no, it should be called Your Majesty. He threw away the sausage and threw himself on the iron bar: "Your Majesty! If I hadn't been locked up here, I would have gone to Tawu Harbor City to kneel before you! I owe allegiance to you!"

"I know, the discount I gave you is still there, but it doesn't seem to be useful to look at you. With a flick of his fingers, the cell door slammed open and he fell to the ground weakly, and Count Valen was bounced back to the stone bed by the force.

"Your Majesty, I ......" Count Valen's eyes were gloomy, his pale hair falling down in a mess, and his hands clutching his knees. "I should have been more decisive, I should have said yes when I was in the palace, but I missed the best opportunity. You're right, I'm really useless. Now, my castle should be ransacked, right?"

"Well, almost, I see them leaving with a lot of things. Fei Qi pinched his chin and asked, "At that time, the other houses in the palace immediately entered the palace to express their obedience as soon as they received the news of my victory, and I never saw you coming, so I came to look for you." Look at this, don't the people of your castle know that you are on my side?"

Count Valen blushed and shook his head in shame. "I was completely killed by hesitation, and did not announce my agreement with you until the end. And I didn't go to the battlefield in person, but sent my second son to watch the battle. If I had gone, I would have gone to Tawu Harbour at once, instead of my son sneaking back and imprisoning me and taking the lead in stealing all the riches. ”

"How many sons do you have?

"I'm locked up here, and I can only guess what is going on outside. Your Majesty, I ask you only one thing. ”

Feige shook his head, "I'm not your killer and won't help you clean up the portal." However, I can find you a place to live in Tawu Harbor City, so that you can spend your old age, which can be regarded as a reward for your previous thoughts of surrender. ”

"Your Majesty, I don't dare to ask you to kill, only the knights and magistrates who preside over justice can bring punishment to those bastards. I want to ask you to save someone. Count Valen said, "If there is one man in this family who is worth saving, it is my second grandson, Dart Vallen III." It was a wise and obedient child, very kind, he was the first child of my eldest son, the heir to my earl title. He lost his father when he was a child, and there may be no one to ...... in this turmoil."

"Grandpa, are you in there?"

From the direction of the cell door came a slightly childish cry, and there was some anxiety in the voice. When Count Valen heard this, he immediately jumped up from the bed, shook off Feige and ran to the door: "Dart! I'm here!

A flickering fire appeared in the direction of the staircase, and a dark-haired boy was seen running down with a candlestick. He was about ten years old, and he was dressed in a large, ill-fitting linen garment, with a simple belt and slippers at his feet. The boy ran all the way down, stumbling, but carefully guarding the cloth bag in his hand, preferring to hit his shoulder against the wall rather than touch the package.

"Dart!" Count Valen hugged his grandson hard, then patted him on the body to make sure he was not hurt. "It's good that you're okay! They didn't bully you, did they?"

"They didn't find me. Last night I got up to relieve myself and heard a strange noise in the castle, so I secretly went to check it out. I saw that you were taken away with your mouth tied and your hands tied, so I immediately hid yourself. Dart doesn't speak quickly, but he speaks in a very structured way. "I did not dare to make contact with them, so I secretly went and took a servant's clothes, wiped my face and looked for an opportunity to slip out of the bad walls. Grandpa, I think they are just tying you up, and they think they should lock you up and not kill you immediately. So I went out and hid for a while and came back when the chaos got up. ”

"I didn't hurt you in vain, I didn't hurt you in vain. With tears in his eyes, Valen took the candlestick and put it aside, and the package on the other, just holding his grandson. Dart looked at Feige from Grandpa's shoulder, then lowered his voice and asked, "Grandpa, who is this?"

"Oh, I forgot. This is Feche St. Hall, His Majesty the King. Quick, go say hello to him, and swear allegiance. ”

"You're clever now, and you don't hesitate. But I am not the king, and I do not need this boy to swear allegiance. Feige shook his finger: "The Valen family has no value to me, and I will soon be able to accept this land and this castle." Rather than leave you to cause problems, why not kill you here? No one will know. ”

"No, the goddess will know. Dart shouted as he dragged Count Valen towards the door. "Go quickly, go to a crowded place, this bad guy will not dare to attack!

"You may not know it, but I just killed thousands of people with my own hands, and I didn't even blink an eyelid. With a flip of his right hand, a fireball with an extremely hot sensation floated on the palm, casting a terrifying light and shadow on his face. "I haven't smelled the smell of barbecue kids!"

"I'm fighting with you!" Dart clenched his fists and rushed forward, then he felt a shadow flash in the corner of his eye, and the back of his head hurt, and then the world spun around, and he didn't know who was going to do it. Feige grabbed him by the collar with one hand, and wanted to lift him directly, forgetting for a moment that his clothes didn't fit. Only a snapping sound was heard, and Dart's five bodies fell to the ground. He groaned and gradually woke up again.

"It's a good boy, it doesn't seem like they're a group. Feige said to Count Valen, "You hold him, and I'll take you out." Cover his eyes all the way in case I scare him too hard. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I ......" Count Valen suddenly stared at the cloth bag on the ground in a daze, then looked at Dart, who woke up, and asked, "Good grandson, you still went to the secret room to take out that thing?"

Dart was still a little dizzy, but after hearing this, he squeezed out a smile: "Grandpa, they didn't find it, I took it out according to the method you taught." You said that as long as it is still here, our family will continue to exist. ”

"Silly boy, what can really make the family exist is people, and there is Your Majesty. ”

"He's a bad guy, and he's not a king, so he's not your majesty. ”

Fei Qi laughed twice, and then said, "I am not a king, but an emperor, so I am still Your Majesty." And I am already the emperor of this land, so I will protect you without your allegiance to me. ”

"Grandpa, we can't fully trust him. Dart whispered in the earl's ear with his hand over his mouth.

Count Valen burst into tears and burst into laughter. "I still have a vision, and the only treasure in the family is still found by me. He picked up the cloth bag and opened it with his own hands, revealing a round container inside. He took it and turned it to the left, then twisted it to the right, and after several complicated combinations of left and right, the container was opened. In the center of the thick velvet cushion, a golden egg lies inside.

"It's a golden dragon's egg, it's still alive, it's just that we don't have the strength to hatch it, and it seems that we don't have the ability to raise it now. Your Majesty, you can defeat the noble coalition, and you are undoubtedly the strongest person in this world. I offer this dragon egg to you in the hope of gaining refuge. ”

Feige frowned, and carefully took the dragon egg. From the palm of his hand, the eggshell gave him the feeling of a strong and condensed powerful fire elemental power, even if it was not a dragon, it was definitely an extremely strong creature. "Are you sure this is a golden dragon? The church spent a lot of effort and only found a few dragons, all of which were evil dragons like blue dragons and black dragons, and it took a lot of effort to correct them. It's been a long, long time since I've seen a good-natured dragon. ”

"Yes, when the Creator handed over the management of the world to the Goddess of Truth and Thunder, he took the dragon away, and only a few evil dragons who were not very obedient remained. This dragon egg was given to our family at that time, and it was prophesied that it would reappear with the birth of a new god, bringing about the return of the dragon. ”

"Don't believe in prophecy, it's too easy to take advantage of. But I'll take the egg. Fitch said to Count Valen, "According to the previous agreement, this egg is equivalent to you buying the castle and the surrounding land. I'll settle you first, and when my men regain control of this place, you can come back. ”
