Intraroyal City of the North, Cliston. It's not so much a city as a combination of a city and a military fortress.

During the time of the Grand Duke of Samon, Claston underwent a remodeling.

The original intention of the renovation was to make this military fortress embody the three ideals of glory, number, and height.

The high visual object can make people feel a strange sense of reverence psychologically, just as when people see the craggy mountains, the cascading waterfalls and the high rolling tides, they will cause a sense of spiritual shock and piety.

In the defense of the city walls, Claston has two concentric castle parapets, which are reinforced with the outer walls, and the inner walls are much higher than the outer walls, so that the archers on the inner walls have a greater field of view and firing range, thus forming crossfire on the inner and outer walls.

A circular tower was built at each of the four corners of the inner circle, and the elaborately designed tower and gatehouse were able to hold on independently even when the enemy attacked the inner wall.

The tall walls of Clareston were surrounded by a huge lake that surrounded the castle as a moat.

The city fortress provided a solid defense for its lord lords and was also the place where they lived. Claiston is not large, but in addition to the lords, on weekdays, there are retainers and a large number of servants to maintain the daily operation of the castle.

At the moment, 50,000 troops were stationed in Clairstone, which seemed a little crowded.

In addition, all kinds of nobles and nobles who have lost their territories, with their families and servants, are all crowded here to seek the last refuge.

In addition to the above, there were peasants or tenants, who usually lived in the estates around the city, huddled in small, shabby, dark and damp huts, and when the war came, they crammed their cattle and chattels together in the city.

About the different classes, the bard described such a life in these words: "The rich live in the city, and the poor live in huts. The God of life created them high and low, arranged their wealth and poverty. ”

In Aaron's eyes, today's Claiston is facing various negative data such as hygiene, public security, and crowding.

Facing the fog of war, it made the people of the city panic.

The nobles and nobles did not consciously obey the order, they were overbearing, robbing the houses and living resources, during the reign of the Grand Duke of Simon, Claston's various war preparations and mobilization became chaotic, and it was a royal city in the north. It's like a prison without order.

There was no courage, no hope, just chaos, despair, swearing, whining, and sporadic clashes in the streets.

"Now, as the first order of the Grand Duke of the North: in order to regain our lost land, from now on, reorganize the army, rectify the tax system, and reform the noble titles. …… If anyone has an opinion, they can say it right away. ”

Standing in the white chamber, Aaron paused deliberately. He looked around, and at the instigation of everyone, two counts and nobles took a step forward.

"Your Excellency, what do you mean by this? Do you want to strip us of our noble titles? Do so. No one will ever want to continue fighting to maintain the rule of the Reinhardts. ”

Threats, red stripes. This sentence contains the voices of many northern nobles, and the reason why they stayed here is only to maintain the Reinhardt family's rule over the northern continent.

In the past few years, the Northern Continent had granted these nobles sufficient autonomy. So much so that they are allowed to regard their titles and territories as private property.

Faced with the offensive of the White Woods in the West, mutiny from many cities. It's enough to get a glimpse of it.

Falling from the perspective of these nobles, the trusted Grand Duke of Aaron, he is not very old, including his eyes, which are indeed not big, thin and long, and the tips of the eyes are slightly picked at the sideburns.

When these eyes suddenly became bright and sharp, every flicker was like a sharp blade.

Aaron felt the need to make these nobles begin to understand that the Grand Duke was not just an honorific symbol, but also represented absolute will and iron will. From now on.

"Ikabod. Kane. Yvette. Rollin. If I'm not mistaken, you're Lord Earls of Maplelimburg and Rock City. The attack of the White Woods in the West has cost you every soldier under your command and every inch of land under your control. But your family's carry, and the property of two hundred carts, and nearly a thousand servants, all came to Clairstone alive and well. …… I don't want to hold you accountable for losing your territory, I just want to get justice for those soldiers. For those bones, why are soldiers' lives so cheap, and why are your lives so noble as generals and counts!? It's a really frustrating question, why, when the soldiers are dead, why does the general still have the face to continue to live? ”

Accompanied by Aaron's deep, nonchalant voice. Guarding the council hall, the Spartan warriors decisively closed the door.

Seeing that, the four Spartan heavy-helmeted warriors pulled out their blades without saying a word, and the two counts, Icabold and Yvette, began to shout with pale faces, "You have no right to ...... it."

The movements of the Spartan heavy helmeted warriors were fast and swift, two Spartan warriors bled and two Spartans chopped their kneecaps.

The two counts felt a chill on their necks, and with a pop, they knelt on the hard floor, and the red blood soon dyed their magnificent robes red.

"Immovable as a mountain, solid as a rock. It's not just a slogan, it's the motto of the Reinhardt family. Counts of the nobility, if you are guilty of the same crimes as these two counts, I will grant you the right to commit suicide. Otherwise, you will die in the most painful way, and the corpses of your family and your servants will be thrown to the wild dogs to eat while your blood is not cold. ”

Hearing Grand Duke Aaron's order, the eye sockets of many earls and nobles were sunk deeply, and their pupils shrank into it desperately.

But the Spartan warriors staring at them, with their blades in their hands. The eyes of the Spartans were as sharp as the eyes of the birds, and they could see every movement of everyone in the hall.

In the tradition of the Northern Continent, the most honorable and courageous way to commit suicide is to raise a sword and stab it in the heart.

To use the most brilliant blood to atone for the sins you have committed, and to use this method is tantamount to atonement.

Although the hereditary titles were withdrawn, at least their families would be pardoned.

"Even Samun's husband would never kill two counts like a slave. We have hundreds of men, and half of the city's army, rise up and resist! ”

"Kill him and overthrow the Reinhardt!"

Whew――――――

The Ice Archer's arrowhead pierced the foreheads of the two Strangers in a straight line.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

On both sides of the council hall, hundreds of ice shooters appeared densely packed. Faced with the threat of death, many nobles gasped and were at a loss, like people carved in clay and wood.

When the first old earl knelt down silently and raised the sword in his hand, more earls and nobles knelt down to atone for their sins.

At the first meeting of Aaron's succession to the Grand Duke, more than two dozen counts were executed and forced to death, which was shocking and made many other nobles a little frightened.

But, that's just the way it is.

In Aaron's view, a good general will choose to die on the battlefield. Among the remaining people, cowards and moths probably account for more than half, and in order to consider the next counterattack against the White Forest army, those nobles who will only delay their feet and add chaos must be eliminated!

When he sneered at the blood and corpses, Aaron's eyes seemed to be quivering.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we must admit the fact that the Northern Continent has fallen, and only one last city remains. No fiefdom means no nobility. From now on, the titles of nobility such as earl, marquis, etc., will be abolished. ”

"From this moment on, Claston was only a ninth-class nobleman. Starting from the ninth-class nobles, they must be promoted one level upwards, and they must be exchanged for their military exploits. ”

Seeing that no one questioned his words anymore, Aaron put away a pair of sharp eyes and called a name.

"Kulush, as a first-class nobleman, you will lead the 10,000 most elite war bear soldiers in Clryston City to form the first legion of the Avenger Army!" (To be continued......)
