Fortunately, he has the confidence to say this.

Fourteen wyverns hovered over the castle and roared, their shadows blocking out the sunlight as if the end had come to the castle's soldiers.

The two Bright Halberd soldiers riding the Earth Dragon, as well as other soldiers, slowly appeared behind Zhou Mingyue, putting tremendous pressure on those soldiers.

Squeak Quack.......

The castle gate slowly lowered, and a man dressed in a scholar's robe, followed by a large group of people, walked out.

They were the secondary rulers of the castle.

Scholars, stewards, administrative officials, treasurers, tax collectors, and many more in the castle.

Their legs trembled, and they came to Zhou Mingyue and slowly knelt down.

Zhou Mingyue was a little stunned, he thought that Count Max was in the castle.

"What about Count Max?"

He asked, putting away the surprise on his face.

"Count Max came back a month ago, and then left, without a trace."

The butler didn't speak, but the scholar said honestly.

Zhou Mingyue then inquired carefully, only to know that Count Max had really abandoned the city and ran away.

I'll go!

This is a ruthless man!

Don't even want such a big foundation of your own?

But when I think about it, this Count Max is extremely decisive, and if he is in this position, it is difficult to say that he will give up because of the threat of others.

There are no heirs in the castle.

Both of Count Max's sons served as knightly squires in His Majesty's Guard.

Well, this is aristocratic convention.

The sons of the lower nobles would send at least one person to serve as a knight's squire in the house of the higher noble, which was also the source of the knight's squire.

The Countess was still in the castle.

But the problem is that the countess is in her thirties, and although she is well maintained, she is really a little unsightly.

No, the aesthetics of the earth and the other world are somewhat different.

What's more, Zhou Mingyue is not Cao Agui.

Besides, the revenge of Count Max's sneak attack made Zhou Mingyue angry, and you still want me to help you support your wife? Phew!

Forget it, let's go to the royal city.

Zhou Mingyue searched in the treasure house of the castle, and there were no treasures, not many gold and silver coins, but a lot of copper coins.

In the end, he couldn't bear to wipe out the treasure trove, so he just took a few gold coins and left.

As for this countydom, it is useless for him to occupy it.

Not to mention whether the noble senate will admit it, will His Majesty the King feel that Zhou Mingyue has offended his authority because of this, just so many people need to be fed, it makes Zhou Mingyue feel a headache.

After leaving Max Castle to those officials to govern, Zhou Mingyue took his troops on the road.

If you want to say that through the county of Max, it is not too far from the royal city, that is, the distance between two viscounties and one marquisdom.

Those two viscounts had just helped Count Max fight before, and they had just been released back for less than a month at this time, even if they knew that Zhou Mingyue's team had passed through their territory, they didn't dare to stand in the way.

However, these two viscounties looked much stronger than the war-torn county of Max, or at least not so bleak.

But when entering the Marquis of Mislang, Zhou Mingyue was stopped.

"Lord Marquis said that due to the invasion of the army of the Kingdom of Anel, the toll fee has risen by 20%, and the commercial tax has increased by 30%! If there is a violation of the order, the shackles will be imposed for three days! ”

The road into the Marquis of Mithron was blocked by several wooden fences, and more than a dozen standing soldiers stood on both sides of the road with spears in hand, and a middle-aged man in a silk robe was hoarsely preaching the Marquis's new policy to the passing caravans.

According to the merchant next to him, this middle-aged man was Lord Lai Macon, the tax collector of the Marquis of Mislang.

This master can be called the master of boiling oil for bone residue and plucking feathers.

Not to mention that the Marquis of Mithron asked for tolls and the price of commercial taxes, even if there was no price increase, this one often squatted at the checkpoint, eating and drinking, and it could be called all evil.

Therefore, when they heard Laimecon's words, all the caravans who were waiting to pass the checkpoint sighed in unison, and their faces were sad.

Come to think of it, this caravan business route is not just passing through a marquisate, and if you want to sell goods at a high price, it is naturally as far away from the place of origin as possible.

But passing through these noble territories is subject to taxes!

That is, the farther away, the higher the taxes.

In this way, if this Lord came to Macon wanted to increase the price, it would directly affect the interests of these caravans.

However, Zhou Mingyue didn't plan to get involved, he was just a passerby.

But what he never expected was that the army led by the two dragoons was stopped when they arrived at the outpost.

"Stop! This is the Marquis of Mithron, and everyone must pay the tolls! ”

When the soldiers saw the two huge beasts walking over, they were all pale with fright, but Nalai Macon actually stopped directly in front of the earth dragon, although its legs looked a little shaky, but its voice was loud and bold.

I'll go!

Do you think you're an incorruptible strongman?

Zhou Mingyue looked at Macon, a little speechless.

Don't you see the dustpan-sized paws of the earth dragon? If you step on it, you will have a meatloaf!

But Zhou Mingyue always considered a peaceful solution, after all, when he went to the royal city, he might meet more people, and it was impossible to shout and kill when he met a person, right?

"My lord is a pioneer of the wilderness zone, an independent knight named by His Majesty the King of Flor, Lord Zhou, you don't hurry up and get out of the way!"

Zhou Mingyue is somewhat of a status person now, and under this public court, he needs face.

As soon as his mind moved, a light halberd soldier immediately stepped forward and roared sharply.

"Independent knights?"

Nalai Macon looked a little panicked, but after his gaze swept over Zhou Mingyue, he seemed to have determined something, and his courage became bigger, and then he sneered: "What an independent knight, I haven't heard of it!" I've never seen a nobleman without a family coat of arms! ”

Coming to Macon's words made Zhou Mingyue choke.

Well, although what the other party said was a little presumptuous, it was not too wrong.

The fastest way to identify the status of a nobleman in this world is to see if you have a family crest, which is almost the same as whether you have a luxury car on the earth to identify whether you are rich or not.

Zhou Mingyue really doesn't have a family badge, isn't he too late.

Of course, with his current mood, where is he willing to entangle too much with this Lai Macon, with a wave of his right hand, the earth dragoon immediately moved forward, and the huge soles of his feet stepped towards Lai Macon.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation all around.

But when the soles of the dragon's feet landed, then Macon had already pounced aside, lying on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up, it was a painful fall.

Obviously, although this guy looks extremely tough, he is not a fool, and he will not use his life to collide with the soles of the earth dragon's feet.
