Chapter 356: Ferdinand's Headache
However, now Landrun estimates that there is not much time to deal with Surin, the domain is destroyed, Surin will have a lot of time to recuperate, of course, he can also use this time to find the trouble of those nobles.
Although it is said that Dongquan City was destroyed, Surin did not do too much excessively, he only found trouble with that group of people, of course, he did not let go of those guys who attacked before, although he lost a large number of troops, but when he left the city, the troops on Surin's side not only did not decrease, but became larger.
Such a large force directly entered Red Maple City, almost completely filling Red Maple City, of course, this stuffed prison not a town, Surin will not give these guys too good treatment, the dungeon is ready, as early as the previous few operations, Surin has expanded the area of the dungeon several times, but still feels that these guys are a little crowded when they are stuffed in.
His actions this time directly caused an uproar in Stormwind, and a large number of nobles raised their dissatisfaction and opinions against Ferdinand, and they demanded that Ferdinand must punish Surin, even if he did not behead him, and he must erase this guy's lordship.
"These damn guys, who think about this and that all day long, are they really a bunch of pig brains?"
In the study, Ferdinand was thundering, and he had known what Surin had done, of course, in addition to knowing what Surin had done, he also knew what these nobles had done.
If these guys can manage their greed and don't provoke that guy, there is actually nothing to do now, but now that it is like this, Ferdinand's side has also become a headache.
He's passive now. This time Surin made such a fuss that even he couldn't stand by and watch, at the beginning. He doesn't have much interest in the fight between these two interest groups, in his opinion. Either side wins, it's good for him.
The nobles won, they can get a lot of benefits, of course, at this time, Ferdinand can stand up and take the opportunity to siphon off a large amount of taxes, which will be used to replenish the increasingly empty treasury, and Surin will win. That's even better, he's worried that he can't take this group of nobles now.
The law of the Federation stipulates that the nobles above the baron are hereditary, passed down from generation to generation, and each generation will use their own territory, although it is not large, but in their own territory, these nobles have a lot of rights.
They set their own tax rates, created chambers of commerce, and exhibited their own private armaments, all of which did not help the Griffin Federation much in its show. Ferdinand was already quite unhappy with this situation, these nobles accounted for 8o% of the commercial economy of the Griffon Federation, but paid less than 1o% of taxes. This is also the reason why the treasury of the Griffon Federation is becoming increasingly empty.
If you don't open the knife on these nobles, it will definitely not work to continue, which is why Ferdinand has never been involved in this matter, he doesn't want to watch the nobles solve Su Lin, but wants Su Lin to teach these nobles a good lesson, and then he will make a move, so that not only can the treasury get a large wave of funds to replenish it, but also will not offend the noble group.
But things didn't go the way he had imagined. He had also heard the news of Androni's injury, and he didn't really care about it at first. But he didn't feel it until after the news of what happened in East Springs City last night. This matter is in trouble.
The news from Duke Landrun's side is quite bad, the realm has been directly broken, and it has also become the main target of that terrible force, the bones in Landrun's chest are almost completely shattered, and the internal organs are more damaged, which is all secondary, the main thing is that now Landrun's strength has fallen to the first order of the Heavenly Rank Sacred Domain.
This is the price of the domain being broken, the strength of the domain powerhouse will drop a lot quickly, although it will gradually recover over time, but during this time, Landron's body will be extremely weak.
If it weren't for Landron's situation, even Ferdinand couldn't believe it, this was all because of Surin's guy, after returning to Enlos Big 6, Surin had already reached the realm of the Holy Realm, which Ferdinand knew very well, but Surin had never contacted him, which made him very anxious.
I don't know if he got the scepter of the Griffin Federation, this is a matter that Ferdinand has always been concerned about, although he said that he gave Surin a copy map to find the scepter, but whether Surin can get it, it is difficult to say.
That place is not a safe area, not to mention the dangers that may be encountered when going to that area, even if they enter the mausoleum, they will encounter that kind of creature, that is a creature lurking in the shadows, no one knows what world these guys are from, only know that there is a dark place, they can be resurrected infinitely, this is the special news that the royal family of the Griffon Federation has passed down from generation to generation, Ferdinand did not even tell Surin.
If Surin didn't get the griffon's golden scepter, Ferdinand didn't have anything to worry about, what he was worried about was that Surin got the scepter, but he refused to hand it over, which was the most important thing.
It will take 3o years for the Tomb of the Gods to open, and it is impossible for him to wait for 3o years before sending someone to see if Surin has gotten it, and he has also thought about letting Surin come to Stormwind City to explain the situation, but the aggressiveness of the aristocratic group makes Ferdinand a little passive now, if Surin comes to Stormwind City, then this question will definitely be on the table.
Surin may ask Ferdinand for help, if Ferdinand refuses, the Golden Scepter may be swallowed by this guy, and if Ferdinand agrees, whether or not he can get the Scepter is one thing, angering the noble community, and only worsening the current situation in the Griffon Federation.
After discussing with the Aztecs for a day and a night, Ferdinand still decided to put aside the matter of the golden scepter first, the probability of a 9th-order powerhouse getting the scepter is too low, rather than caring about a thing that he doesn't know whether he can get or not, it is better to solve the trouble on his side first.
This is the most important thing to do as a king, the laws of the Griffon Federation were formulated by his ancestors several generations before him, and at that time, in order to appease the generals who were on expeditions, the rules of hereditary fiefdoms and titles were set.
But Ferdinand is a very ambitious person, he feels the huge drawbacks of this system, if it goes on like this, the Griffin Federation can only get weaker and weaker, he doesn't want to maintain the confrontation with the Nine Cities Alliance, he wants to annex the Nine Cities Alliance, and even after the annexation of the Nine Cities Alliance, he will defeat Dega and recover Colodle, which is a rather crazy idea, but it takes money to start a war, it needs a lot of money, and there is no money in the current treasury.
"It's time to give these guys a headache, Aztec, don't worry about this matter for now, let's think about it, how to deal with the mission of the Nine Cities Alliance in the next few days, I heard that those guys are now regretting their bowels."
Looking at the document in his hand, Ferdinand's face improved slightly, this is a report from the Nine Cities Alliance, it is said that the Nine Cities Alliance will send an envoy to the Griffin Federation in a few days, and their arrival is for a special mission, but this is not the point, the focus is on the harvest of the Nine Cities Alliance in the Tomb of the Gods this time.
This time the Tomb of the Gods is estimated to enter the history of the Nine Cities Alliance, because in this battle, the Nine Cities Alliance powerhouses who entered the Tomb of the Gods lost 9o%, and only a few escaped, this is the first time they have encountered such a situation, and the entire Nine Cities Alliance has been a sensation, rumors, and even several red-robed mages have died in the Tomb of the Gods, when the news was obtained, Ferdinand almost couldn't sleep for several nights.
The reason why I couldn't sleep was because I was too excited, and the loss of this time was even more huge for the Nine Cities Alliance than the loss caused by the beast clan's defection and counteroffensive, because in this operation, they lost all the powerhouses of the 9th order and the Sacred Domain, and the powerhouses of the Heavenly Rank Sacred Domain were killed several times, and the loss of the red-robed mage was a heavy blow to the high-end force of these guys.
In a war, it is not the ordinary warriors who decide the final victory, but the high-level strong, only when the high-level strong are evenly matched, the ordinary warriors are the key to determining the victory, if one of the high-level combat power is insufficient, the result is likely to be that they will be beaten in the battle and will not be able to fight at all.
At the beginning, there was a big gap between the Griffin Federation and the Nine Cities Alliance, and in several consecutive battles, they were extremely aggrieved because of the lack of the number of strong people, and later, the legendary powerhouse - Androni made a move, and finally made the Nine Cities Alliance understand that the Griffin Federation is not a fat meat that can be slaughtered casually.
But until now, the Griffin Federation and the Nine Cities Alliance are still at a disadvantage, there are too many high-level mages in the Nine Cities Alliance, as long as any Sanctuary mage releases the Sanctuary-level war-level magic on the battlefield, it will directly destroy the rhythm of a legion.
Now, according to the report of the intelligence detectors, the high-end force of these guys has also lost at least 4o%, which makes the high-end force situation of the two countries instantly balanced, and even the Griffin Federation has a certain advantage.
"But what are they sending a mission to us for at this time?"
The Aztecs have appeared in a very strange place, the Nine Cities Alliance has been hit hard, they are not recuperating, but they have sent a mission to the Griffin Federation, what does this mean? (To be continued)
