Chapter 347: Irresponsible Protest

"What do you want to do, you can't rebel"?

Seeing that all the nobles raised their hands neatly to raise their hands to raise objections to the "Glory War" that they attached great importance to, Jonny only felt that his lungs were about to explode, and he had been dealing with various arrangements in the army during this time, but he didn't expect these seemingly weak nobles to unite and dare to protest collectively when the war was about to start.

Thinking of this, Jonny couldn't help but secretly clench the hilt of his sword - the battle of glory must not be interfered with, but ...... These nobles were important centers of power in the country, and even several large families controlled the vital grain trade.

For a while, Jonny didn't know what to say next, strictly speaking, it was not a violation of the order among the nobles to raise objections at this time, and the parallel system of feudal system and absolute monarchy implemented by the Maple Leaf Kingdom allowed nobles to raise objections in the parliament.

Jonny didn't have anything to say or couldn't think of what to say for a while, but the nobles began to express their opinions for the first time in a long time.

I saw that under the gaze of everyone in the palace hall, an old nobleman sitting in the front row stood up tremblingly:

"Lord Zodas, it's only morning, if you have time, you might as well listen to the old man."

The old nobleman did not tremble under the angry gaze of Jonny like many young nobles, he straightened his back with his ornate cane, and even arranged the tassels at the corners of his clothes lightly.

Then, the old nobleman spoke unhurriedly:

"Lord Zodath, the invasion of the kingdom three hundred years ago has indeed been a great pain for all, and my grandfather once returned to the arms of Tyre under the breath of Ovacin-Sour Throat, and the shame that the evil black dragon inflicted on all is never forgotten, but ............"

Speaking of this, the old nobleman raised his head and looked at Jonny Zodas standing in the sun:

“...... But life must go on, the kingdom must survive, our blood must be passed on, war after war will not reap glory, courage and piety will not replace bread! Lord Zodath, you are much older than me, and the old man who was old before you was only a child, so perhaps we cannot understand your concept...... However, the country really can't afford any more wars, and even the richest nobles have exhausted the last bit of their wealth............"

"Shut up ............"

“............ Every nobleman's domain has begun to become deserted, and more and more poor people have been displaced............"

"Enough, shut up you coward"!

The angry Jonny interrupted the old nobleman's narration, because of the anger, his hair began to be windless, and the ground under his feet cracked inch by inch in an instant, at this moment, the furious Jonny was like an offended lion!

The furious lion slammed his sword to the ground, and then let out an avenger roar at the old nobleman:

"Do you know this, you useless cowards, that the enemy is wreaking havoc on our homeland, that vile invaders are ruling over our people, that the glory of justice is obscured by a haze, that the glory of the kingdom is thrown into the mud and that now that the holy war is about to begin, you cowardly people have cowardly chosen to retreat............"

Speaking of this, Jonny took a vicious step forward, and the masonry in the hall shattered with a "crackling" sound:

"I, the Maple Leaf Kingdom's protector general, Jonny Zodas, will never allow such a thing to happen in my country, and now, on behalf of the king, I ask you to immediately send all your private troops and lords into battle, listen, this is an order! As long as you are a nobleman belonging to the Maple Leaf Kingdom one day, you must obey the order."

Jiao Niqi's voice changed tone, and the scar on his face was even more hideous with the green tendons jumping and jumping, and the terrifying momentum swept the entire palace hall, and I don't know how many nobles were paralyzed on the ground with fright and couldn't move for a while.

However, the aristocratic old man at the head was not frightened by Jonny's roar, he stared at Jonny with cloudy eyes without changing his face, and then said almost word for word:

"If you insist on war...... So, we will lead our family and wealth out of this country!, so please take back your order, otherwise, the Fatlan family will voluntarily renounce all the titles they have in the Maple Leaf Kingdom on behalf of the thirty-three lords of the North Wind Lords of the Maple Leaf Kingdom"!

The old nobleman's words were low and extremely hoarse, and all kinds of indescribable sadness and helplessness were filled in this almost unbelievable word - you must know that in the Faeron plane, the title is almost the most important thing in every family, even if countless treasures and fame cannot catch up with the title of a baron, because the title represents a status symbol, representing the nobility of all the direct children of the family, unless there is a great crisis in the survival of the family, otherwise it is almost unimaginable for a real nobleman to give up the title.

But now, the old nobles did it, and they were not the only ones who did it.

"Duke Kemo asks Lord Zodas to retract the order, otherwise, the twenty-six lords of the Golden Leaf Domain of the Maple Leaf Kingdom will announce that they will voluntarily renounce all the titles they have in the Maple Leaf Kingdom......"

"And me, the twelve lords of the East Wheat Field region will announce ............"

"I'm also the twenty-eight lords of Raven Valley............"

After a long silence, one powerful nobleman after another, with the twelve archdukes as their capital, began to threaten Gioni with the renunciation of their titles, their voices either filled with helplessness or anger, but ......... In the end, all the nobles present still chose to use this most helpless way to force Jonny to change his decision.

This is by no means just a threat, if Jonny is not willing to change his mind, then I believe that these nobles will really make such a decision. After all, they have the people's fat and people's ointment that they have looted for many years, even if they don't have the title, they can still be a rich merchant when they go to other countries, which is better than following the fall of the Maple Leaf Kingdom.

Of course, it is very distressing to give up the inheritance of their ancestors and the rights that they have obtained so hard, but it is no longer possible for them to meet Jonny's request, and the demise of Maple Leaf is just around the corner, and now, many cowardly nobles are even really considering whether to abandon the dilapidated ship of the Maple Leaf Kingdom.

“...... Cowards, cowards, cowards, are all a group of people who have escaped...... Coward"!

In a fit of rage, Jonny's teeth creaked, watching these nobles resist in such a most irresponsible way at such a critical moment, Jonny was really angry and anxious, these nobles held many important powers, owned many private armies, and controlled a large amount of wealth............ In particular, several of these dukes also controlled the trade routes between the Maple Leaf Kingdom and the Chikararca Kingdom, and if these nobles really struck............ The Maple Leaf Kingdom is going to run out of food this winter.

As soon as he thought of this, Jonny was extremely anxious, he really wanted to kill all these cowards with a sword, but ...... He couldn't do that, Jonny was still a "orderly" paladin after all, and even if he didn't think about food shortages or anything, he couldn't go on a killing spree just because of "political opposition".

But............ Jonny is the only one who is anxious, and Jonny is the only one who has scruples.

Just as the palace hall was about to fall silent again, a cold voice suddenly sounded.

"That...... I'll interrupt you, if I'm not mistaken...... You want to stop this war"?
