Chapter 710: Abscesses
That night, Thorin Sartre entered Tallinn and told the frustrated Archon Stark about what he had witnessed.
At the emergency hearing of the Parliament, he swore by his ancestors, assuring that his testimony was accurate and that there was no selfishness in his testimony – and indeed that he and Archduke Stan did not have any vendetta against him.
With the full impetus of the consuls and the Federal Parliament, the fate of Archduke Stan was decided overnight.
The next day, the incident erupted completely.
The Federation declared that Archduke Stan had committed crimes against humanity, and these crimes are really rare in the Free Federation of Long Island, which claims to be free, even if you run outside the Stark house and, you will be insulted by a nobleman at most, and absolutely no one will mention the stubble against humanity.
Only the Holy See, on its part, branded people as heretics at every turn and burned them at the stake for crimes against humanity.
Fortunately, the Holy See has reined in a lot over the years, at least it will not burn people if there is nothing to do.
Not only did the poor in that country rarely starve to death and freeze to death—the church would take them in and rescue them, especially the poor who rarely died of disease—but it became the happiest place for the poor of the three kings.
Archduke Stan's crime against humanity is very simple, it is to experiment with people.
Although most of them were burned to ashes by the dragons, it was not difficult to gather evidence in this area, and some human witnesses were caught.
What's more, Grand Duke Stan's side has already sent such a finished monster into battle.
Grand Duke Stan was a little stunned when he received the news, and he asked left and right in confusion: "I just caught some untouchables, is this anti-human?" ”
His left and right love sauce is so stumbling that he can't say anything comforting.
"My lord, the Splinter has run away!" Someone came to report it, and the disaster was not alone, and it was not just the splitters who fled.
There are constant reports of people fleeing.
Grand Duke Stan sat down in his chair in a daze, he sat sluggishly for a while, and asked stupidly, "Why don't you go, are you all done?" ”
"My lord, I'm a flyer, and I can go whenever I want, so there's no need to go at this time." Said a capable person.
"Then do you think I'm anti-human?" Grand Duke Stan asked.
"My subordinates don't know, and I don't want to care, I just know that in the past few years, with the Grand Duke, my family has built a big house, my brother has become a nobleman, and I have enjoyed all the glory and wealth, which I never dreamed of before." The mighty one replied honestly.
"What about you?" Grand Duke Stan asked the other one.
The man knelt directly on the ground and said: "I was originally a death row prisoner, and I forcibly demolished the woman of the aristocratic family, it was you who saw that I was a talent, and forced the nobleman to swallow this breath, if you fall, the nobleman will definitely not let me go, I should follow you instead of hiding for the rest of my life." ”
"Butler, what do you say?!" Grand Duke Stan suddenly remembered that the butler, who had been silent behind him, should consult with his mastermind and let him come up with a foolproof plan.
"I don't know who pushed this, Evra, we could have lost." The butler sighed.
"That'...... Are you leaving? Grand Duke Stan asked.
"I'm so old, I can't die early or later, and it's not a few years away." The housekeeper said very calmly: "I don't know why this matter has attracted the attention of the remnants of the Sartre family, and at the same time, it has also given the consul a sharp blade, it is obvious that someone is calculating us." ”
"Butler, what else do you want to do, I don't need to die as a ghost, I don't want to die." Grand Duke Stan grabbed the butler's arm and screamed.
"Let's see how many soldiers are left, Evra, the only thing that can save us is force." The old butler looked at the man he was guarding with compassion.
Grand Duke Stan staggered out the door, telling the drums to gather the troops.
He is really too rich, the soldiers are well-equipped, and he can get a lot of money, although there are deserters at this time, but generally speaking, the ten-mile barracks has not yet reached the point of chaos, and those federal agents who went to the barracks first to spread the news in the hope of blowing up the camp obviously did not receive much effect.
With the expansion of magic, the voice of Grand Duke Stan reached the ears of everyone in the Ten Mile Barracks.
"I'm a selfish person, I'm sorry for me, I don't treat them as people, my dad is sorry for me, he's dead, my brothers and sisters are sorry for me, they're dead, and a lot of people are sorry for me, they're all dead......"
"But I, Stan, am the most generous to myself," Archduke Stan roared, "You say, I have treated you badly, who gave you gold coins when you had no food or clothing, so that you would not freeze to death and starve, and what the nobles of the Federation did for you when you needed help the most." ”
"Those untouchables went around burning, killing and looting, robbing your bread, robbing your children, robbing your wives, where were the nobles of the Federation at that time?"
"No one, no one came out against them!"
"It's me! Evra Stein! It was I who stood up and recruited you to fight for this minor Federation! ”
"I just dug up some corpses from the tomb and asked the necromancer to turn them into combat power, so as to reduce the casualties of your brothers, I am called anti-human, and you are also loyal to an anti-human lord, are you convinced?"
"Anyway, I'm not convinced, I'm worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of the Federation, worthy of you brothers!"
"I won't stop you from leaving, go back to live your original poor life, and if you are willing to stay, your food and salary will be doubled, in case my Grand Duke Stan becomes an archon, or even a king, you people are all heroes and nobles!"
"You can build a big house in your hometown, and you can build as big as you want. By the way, marry the most beautiful mushroom in the neighboring village. ”
"Swear allegiance to the Lord Duke!" I don't know who took the lead, and the ten-mile barracks shouted.
The original army of Archduke Stan, which was already close to 200,000, has been less than 150,000 after this turmoil.
It doesn't seem to hurt his muscles and bones, but it actually hit him very hard.
His business empire, which spread throughout the Federation, suddenly became illegal property, and countless maggots pounced on it to gnaw on.
Archduke Stan couldn't last long with the double pay he promised.
It's just that he didn't fall after all.
He looked at the sword in his hand and imagined how it would pierce everyone, the enemies, the betrayers, the dregs that stood in his way from stepping onto the throne of the highest.
On this day, the entire federation was turned upside down.
His Excellency the Archon wanted to break up the noble lords, but no one thought that Grand Duke Stan would survive.
To sum up, there may be three reasons.
Stan is good at using people, and he is really generous to his own people, but he is not a moral gentleman, and what he usually does is not good, and there are few moral gentlemen gathered around him.
He misinterpreted the necromancer's experiments on living people, misinterpreting them as corpses, and the purpose was to reduce the casualties of the soldiers, and he washed away a lot of dirt from his body at once.
In fact, this is all superficial reasons.
The most fundamental reason is that the Federation is sick, and now it is in turmoil, and these soldiers have no way to live after they have fled, they can't even live, and who will obey the decree of the Federal Assembly.
What made the Archon even more desperate was that as Grand Duke Stan brazenly launched an attack and plunder of the nearby nobles' territory, the nobles from all over the country wantonly conscripted soldiers to prepare food and grass, and for a while, dozens of famous and surnamed figures stood on their own.
It's like a person with dozens of abscesses on his body.
The gates of Tallinn were closed and completely sealed off, lest a noble cavalry rush in.
