Cutting the army, even if it is only to disband the army of viscounts and barons, is still a catastrophic impact for the aristocracy of the entire empire. The nobles of the www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion are like an ancient towering tree, whose roots are intertwined and the relationship is extremely complicated. An Imperial Baron, or Viscount, whose family is not worth mentioning in the Empire. But above these families, it may be a certain earl, or even the upper family of a marquis. The upper family gave protection to the barons and viscounts, and on the other hand, the lower knights served the upper families, thus forming the oldest relationship between the nobles of the empire.
On the surface, the disbandment of the army by the lords of barons and viscounts may seem to have little effect, but it is a disastrous storm for those who do not see it. In the short term, the families of those counts and marquises seem to have not been affected much, but if the time is extended to a hundred years or even longer, the losses suffered by these families will accumulate a considerable number under the ruler of time.
Therefore, as soon as the decree was issued, it was not the barons and viscounts who had the loudest backlash, after all, they were too far away from the political core of the empire for Targario to hear their voices at all. The loudest opposition was made by the counts everywhere, and the marquis, although silent, used their own means to support those who disagreed. Only a handful of marquis openly supported Targario's decision, including the Iron Lance Hoy in the South.
But after all, there are only a few supporters, and more are opposed, so in the past few days, the imperial capital has been full of marching processions and slogans hoping that Targario will change the decree. All this was expected by the Emperor, and it was not long before news broke from the Forts of Dawn that Targario would hold a hearing in the palace in five days to hear the opinions of the opponents. Let's not talk about whether the emperor will eventually change the decree due to pressure, but at least this move eases the emotions of the opponents, but anyone who cares can see that this storm is far from over.
In the days that followed, Ollista saw the arrival of counts or marquises attending hearings, the first time in the last ten years that the imperial capital had been flooded with so many lords. Among the many adults who arrived in the imperial capital, the Marquis of Peel was definitely the least among them
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) full one. It's just that Marquis Peel's dissatisfaction is not all from the reduction of the army, but more from the order signed by Targario himself and sent to Flame City.
The order demanded that the Marquis of Peel cancel all acts against Dragonlance from now on, and that any further attempts to force the town's inhabitants to relocate would be punished by Targario's origin. This was a bolt from the blue for the Marquis of Peel, who never imagined that Targario would give such an order for the sake of those high-ranking people. Later, after many inquiries, I learned that it was Alan who took the opportunity to be alone with the Emperor to make a request for Dragon Lance Town.
For this reason, Peel hates Allen even more.
In a hotel in the imperial capital, the Marquis of Peel had just finished meeting with the two counts and had decided how to deal with them at the hearing, and then his own subordinates sent the counts away. The fat marquis took a sip of tea by himself, and the more he thought about it, the more he realized that it was not a taste. If Alan hadn't intervened, Dragonlance would have surrounded his army by now, and then everything would have gone according to his plan, and the townspeople would have been forced to leave.
But Peel didn't give them new land, so the residents would become homeless and miserable. At this point, Peel would make some wonderful suggestions, such as letting these poor people move to his Flame City, and they would get some land on the edge of the city. Not much, just enough for them to huddle together, but at least there is a home. And in return, the blacksmiths in Dragonlance have to serve him unconditionally, which is Peel's true purpose.
He had long taken a fancy to the Gao Cang clan's spear casting skills, and these stubborn guys were able to create sophisticated spears that could sell for three or even five times the price if they were done properly. Drove the blacksmith of the Gaocang tribe to his own city, and Peel enjoyed free labor, making a profitable calculation. It's a pity that Allen's appearance made his abacus fail. The Marquis of Peel was unlucky, for he had discovered a vein of icy crystals in the Coldridge Mountains, and his engineer had sworn that it was only a side vein. If you follow the vine, you may touch the main vein of abundant resources.
However, as soon as the Marquis of Peel built a secret mine, he was attacked by the Shadow Fiend. The Coldridge Mountains weren't part of Peel's territory, and there was no way he could have mobilized his army to deal with the Shadow Fiend. Otherwise, it is not to tell others that it is hidden in the mountains that have been recognized as poor in resources since ancient times
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) baby. Peel didn't want to share a piece of the pie, so he had to put the matter on hold and instead attack Dragonlance.
The failure of this connection, coupled with the recent attack on Blaze City by a group of unidentified creatures, has left Peel in a state of overwhelm. Now coupled with the Imperial Army-cutting order, this fat marquis has lost a lot of weight.
"There's always a way." Peel muttered, "Isn't there still that adult......"
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Peel was displeased: "Who is it?" I didn't see I was annoyed! ”
"What a temper, dear Mistress Peel, what bothers you so much?" A joking voice rang out from outside the door, and the person who came pushed the door in, regardless of whether Peel agreed or not.
Seeing the familiar black hair, Peel's heart fluttered, and he jumped up and said in a lost voice: "My lord, why are you here?" I didn't get any news at all. ”
"I'm here to surprise our majesty, and if even you know, then what's the surprise?" The dignified man smiled faintly.
Peel was terrified to hear it.
Soon it was the day of the hearing, on which Alan put on his earldom and followed Julian into the carriage to the Mountain of Dawn early in the morning. Edward was to accompany him as a baron, and to present the consent to the order to Targario at the meeting, which was arranged by Julian, and Edward had no problem with it. Originally, Lola wanted to go with Allen as Alan's bodyguard, but Jazz was not allowed to bring the guards in this hearing, so Lola had to dismiss this attention.
Early in the morning, there was a queue of traffic in front of the palace gate of the Dawn Palace, and even Julian, the prince, did not have special treatment, so he could only follow the other carriages to be inspected by the palace guards. By the time I entered the palace, it was already in the middle of the day, and there was a lot of delay. The venue was arranged in the Triumph Palace, and it was the third time that Alan had come to this palace, but the purpose of each visit was different.
Today, the entrance to the Palace of Triumph is guarded by Targario's personal guard, the King's Sword, and the brightly armored guards strictly check every visitor to ensure that they are not entering with weapons or guards.
