Chapter 521: Grass on the Wall
"The second major event is that the tyrant wantonly persecuted the innocent nobles in the country in the name of colluding with the cult. The Marquis of Palacio gritted his teeth fiercely, as if he was going to devour Grievous the Great alive.
"At first, they still used the banner of eradicating the cult, but after a while, the tyrant simply tore his face and persecuted us for various reasons. After suffering from his oppression, the nobles everywhere could not bear it anymore and finally rose up to resist. Joining forces with the remnants of the Holy Cult in various places to form a rebellion will surely develop into a wilderness fire that will eventually destroy this brutal ruler and reborn the country from the ashes. The Marquis of Palacio said aloud with emotion, and later his tone was even closer to recitation, and it can be seen that he did not give such "speeches" on a daily basis.
At the words "rebirth," Marquis Palacio waved his arms exaggeratedly, then stopped to catch his breath and looked at General Jetton. It's a pity that General Jetton is still smiling, and there is no look of emotion and excitement on his face at all.
Marquis Palacio chuckled dryly twice with a slight disappointment, "Originally...... Originally, the situation of resistance in China was very good, but ......"
"However, Grievous unexpectedly mobilized the legions stationed at the border back to the realm of Radiance and participated in the rebel military activities, and you were caught off guard?", General Jeton interjected.
Marquis Palacio nodded a little frustrated, "Everyone didn't expect him to do this, and they couldn't find a way to deal with it for a while. β
The Marquis of Palacio was frustrated, and General Jetton was equally disappointed. He had hoped that the rebels would be able to help him, but now it seemed that the wood was rotten and uncarvable, and these nobles were a bunch of straw bales and rubbish.
They are all used to being "soil emperors" in their own territory, and now leading the rebels is like playing at home. There is no clear program, no detailed plan, no mobilization of the surrounding masses, no effective army building, and only arbitrary and scattered sand. So many nobles, plus the remnants of the Holy Sect, if they are united, it is definitely a force that cannot be underestimated, asking for money, money, people, and the Holy Religion providing a nominal slogan to help mobilize the common people.
However, they were stupidly fighting on their own, and after so many days of trouble, they couldn't even get close to Shenghui City. At the beginning, the development trend was in full swing, but the city guards couldn't be wiped out for a while, and they were just allowed to develop. Once Grievous recalls the Northern Legion, they are completely vulnerable and can only be slaughtered.
Xu saw the unkindness and disappointment on General Jetton's face, and the Marquis of Palacio hurriedly said, "But the tyrant of Grievous is not easy either. A grim look flashed across his face as he spoke.
"We pay so much grain, meat, and all kinds of supplies to Shenghui City every year, and we also pay so many taxes. Without our support, would Grievous still be able to sit on the throne and command?"
"Hmph, I dare to assert that the prices of Shenghui City must have skyrocketed now, and it is almost to the point of running out of food. And the refugees in the city don't care about this, if they starve to death, they don't care who does it on the throne, even if they bite, they will bite off a piece of meat from Grievous. β
"There are not as many goods as we provide, how can the merchants trade, and now the trade route to Shenghui City has been completely cut off. There is no money in the bank, there is no money in the chamber of commerce, there is no money in the whole kingdom! Will there still be money in the treasury? If there is no money, how will Grievous pay the army? How can Grievous pay the officials without money? How can he keep the country running without money? β
"Look, it won't be long before the Violet family's rule will end. Grievous did the opposite, and he would eventually be burned to a tragic end. ", said the Marquis of Palacio with confidence.
This is why this marquis still wants to maintain his face and dignity when facing the northern army. It turns out that these nobles have such thoughts, and they always think: This country is indispensable without them!
The aristocratic class is the foundation of this kingdom, which is the contract and foundation that has been established since the beginning of the kingdom of the Hero King. From the Tulip Dynasty to the Violet Dynasty, the throne has changed several times, but this foundation has never wavered.
It's like a skyscraper that supports the foundation of the building. And a series of actions by Grievous the Great are like directly demolishing all the foundations!
And there is only one result: the building will collapse and become a ruin.
The nobles in the kingdom believed that the collapse of this building would crush the Violet family, and then crush Grievous the Great to death, and he would never be able to turn over.
However, General Jetton remembered that at the military meeting before the expedition, the bastard boy he had always looked down on had made this assessment of Grievous the Great:
Grievous is not just going to tear down the entire building, but to be in the ruins, the epee of this building. And the building will be stronger, more magnificent, more tall, and most importantly, the foundation of this building will be him, the Violet family, not the nobles.
What Grievous wants to do is make the building completely his own, and he will not hesitate to cut it together, even if it costs the whole world to be destroyed!
"So you are no match for Grievous!", General Jeton looked at the Marquis of Palacio in front of him with pity, "You are still naΓ―ve in dreaming of victory without a fight, and you are far from the determination and courage of Grievous to change the world." β
"In that case, why would you still welcome our Northern Army?", General Jeton interrupted Marquis Palacio's ramblings, "according to you, Grievous the Great will not need our hands to do anything, and will eventually perish on his own." And when the Violet family's rule is over, this country will be in your pocket. β
"In this sense, we in the north are robbing you of the fruits of victory. β
The Marquis of Palacio was stunned for a moment, and the sweat on his forehead began to flow down again.
"You laughed, you laughed. He said repeatedly: "How can we have the qualifications and ability to rule this country?" Personally, the only one who can rule the people and establish an immortal kingdom is the Falcon family, which is noble and famous. β
"Like the knights of Grievous I, we would like to follow in the footsteps of the Falcon family. Liver and brain, don't give up!", he lowered his head slightly as he said to show his sincerity.
"I see. General Jetton completely understood what kind of road the nobleman in front of him was: "A speculative wallhead." β
