Chapter 946: Saint Laurent Comes
"What's the matter?"
Cheap god teases.
"Hmph, I'm afraid of a bird, as a man, I can't eat Wuding in life, then I will die and be cooked by Wuding!"
Downton shook his head slightly, throwing away those chaotic thoughts, and then, he felt that the halo on the two soul fruits was more brilliant, and the surrounding elemental lines were clearer.
This is because the will is firm, and the soul is slightly condensed and sublimated!
"Stop, stop the execution!"
Just as Downton was about to give the order, a roar suddenly came, followed by twelve golden-haired griffons flying from the sky and descending straight down.
"You're Downton?"
Before the griffin could stop on the torture platform, the middle-aged man led by him jumped down and questioned him.
Hmmm!
Seeing the middle-aged man in a gorgeous costume, the Grand Duke became excited, thinking that he was saved, and he struggled violently with a sigh in his mouth.
Downton's brows furrowed slightly, and his gaze slid to the middle-aged man's chest, where there was a family crest with a pattern of a generalissimo riding a war horse.
It is the hallmark of the Napoleonic family of Saint Laurent, representing the splendor and glory they once had.
"Bold, didn't you hear the adults ask you again?"
"Get down, don't kneel down yet!"
"Where did the hillbillies come from, they can't even recognize the coat of arms of the Napoleonic family!"
Don't look at these griffon cavalry are all cut ranks, but when they come to the proud door, all of them have the courage to call out the hand of a king.
"Look for death!"
When the nearby barbarian soldiers heard them insulting Downton, they became enraged and drew their blades to cut down the bastards.
Downton raised his hand and stopped them.
Wow!
The citizens present were all dumbfounded, they didn't expect things to take a turn for the worse. Especially those citizens who do not have tax-exempt status, wish Downton was over.
"Haha, now Downton is out of line, it's a Saint Laurent family, and a finger can pinch him to death. ”
"What about the kings of third-rate countries? In front of the wealthy families of the empire, he is not like an ant?"
"Then you don't have to go to the battlefield, but the Grand Duke has become like this. Is there a chance to get back in charge of Sogn?"
The citizens looked delighted, at least in the face of Downton, who had no sense of belonging.
"Downton, pay attention to your attitude and restrain your subordinates!" The middle-aged man tidied up his clothes and glanced at the Grand Duke, "Come on, put them down!"
Several griffon cavalry immediately pounced on the guards and pushed them away. Then he was ready to untie the ropes from the Grand Duke and his party.
Some of the guards retreated in a panic, and a few of them, under the scolding of the griffin cavalry, even helped them untie their ropes.
Downton's brows furrowed, almost killing a sea crab, in order not to cause panic and rebellion, the guards in charge of the torture platform are all humans, and sure enough, these guys, the fear of the wealthy has been ingrained.
Bite!
A soldier suddenly brandished a war knife. Slashed at the griffin cavalry in front of him, though he looked terrified. But after all, it is resisting.
"...... Fuck off, without the order of Lord Duke, who ...... No one can let go of these prisoners!"
Seeing this scene, the barbarians who were maintaining law and order around couldn't wait any longer, and directly pounced on them, ready to fight.
"Look for death!"
The cavalry who had been slashed didn't care what the place was. cursed, drew a knife and was about to kill the other party, and a miscellaneous soldier dared to attack him, he simply didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Just as the cavalry drew their scimitars, two dragon spears formed. Shot through the shoulder and pinned him to the torture table.
Crash!
The griffin cavalry all took out their crossbows and aimed them at Downton.
"Downton, you want to rebel against the Napoleon Lun family?"
The middle-aged man was shocked and angry, and roared at Downton, he didn't expect the other party to dare to resist, but there were many Songn citizens present, if he didn't suppress him, this scene would spread out, and the prestige of the Napoleonic family would be damaged.
Downton took a step on his left foot, left the bone dragon, and fell to the torture table, the whole action, to put it mildly, freehand can not be added.
Ignoring the middle-aged man's mad dog-like bark, Downton looked at the retreating guards, "Take them down and reduce them all to slaves, you, what's your name!"
"I ...... My name is Karen!"
The soldier's face was full of irrepressible joy, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that the effort just now had been rewarded.
"Very good, from now on, you are my thousand-man leader!"
Hearing Downton's reward, the eyes of all the soldiers who watched the ceremony were red, it was a thousand people, how many soldiers could not climb the high position in a lifetime.
But the shock wasn't over.
"You're a civilian?"
Downton asked.
"Yes...... Yes!"
Karen didn't dare to breathe.
"From now on, you are a baron!"
Downton chuckled.
"Huh?"
Karen was completely stupid, he was going to become a nobleman? He couldn't believe it at all, knowing that nobles and commoners, separated by a huge chasm, could not be promoted without great luck.
Hiss!
This time, the audience was full of gasps, and the eyes of those citizens also became envious and jealous, becoming a nobleman means that you don't have to pay taxes anymore, and this alone can save a lot of money every year, not to mention the other benefits of being an aristocratic class.
"Stupid, thank you!"
There are barbarians who ridicule that they don't envy this guy, as Downton's descendants, they enjoy better treatment.
"Thank you...... Thank you, sir, and I am willing to die for you!"
Karen fell to her knees on one knee and slammed her right hand into her chest, offering her loyalty to Downton.
"Very well, follow me, and I will give you wealth and glory!"
Downton accepted his allegiance.
The citizens could not have imagined that just because of a moment of courage, this soldier ushered in the greatest opportunity of his life, and from then on, he was a man, and his children and grandchildren had won at the starting line, as long as they were not lazy, they could keep this advantage.
"This trick is good to buy horse bones!"
Homer praised.
It is indeed good, a thousand people plus a noble title completely demonstrates Downton's generosity, not to mention those soldiers, even those Songn people in the square. There are also many people who are moved and want to serve him, and people live for wealth and status.
That's what Downton wants, and then he will arrange for the propaganda department to step in and describe a world where unprecedented opportunities are coming. When the time comes, these civilians will probably become even more fanatical.
"Duke, spare us, we were wrong, we just didn't expect it just now!"
The soldiers who had been reduced to slavery cried out and cried in repentance, and a few of them had good brains and pounced directly on the griffin cavalry, but with their strength, they were instantly cut to the ground.
"It's not dead. Carry it down for treatment, be exempted from the charge, and for the rest, the crime will be increased by one degree, and sent to the mine!"
Downton gave the order with a cold face, what's the use of crying? The last chance is in front of him, and he is not willing to fight, so he will be a slave for life!
"Downton. How dare you hurt my men?"
Seeing Downton's behavior, the middle-aged man almost exploded his lungs.
"Your men. Besides, they injured my subordinates, how are you going to compensate them?"
Downton asked.
"What do you say? You are asking the Napoleonic family for compensation?" the middle-aged man was happy, "I will give it to you, do you dare to ask for it?"
"Why don't you dare?"
Downton went head-to-head.
The audience resounded with a loud exclamation, and the citizens did not expect it. Downton faced the wealthy family Napoleon, how dare he be so tough, does he want to die?
"Boy, pay attention to your attitude, we call you a duke. You really think you're a duke!"
"Yes, in front of our Napoleonic family, you are scum!"
Two griffon cavalry roared.
Downton didn't bother to talk to them, and snapped his fingers.
More than a dozen golden dragon spears suddenly appeared, volleying into the air.
"Be careful!"
The cavalry commander shouted, but unfortunately it was useless, even if the two judgment steps unfolded the soul shield, they were still pierced by a blow, and then they were pierced into a hedgehog shape and fell to the ground.
"Downton, are you going to make peace?"
The middle-aged man suppressed his anger.
"This is a matter between me and the Duchy of Sogn, why are you pointing fingers?"
Downton asked rhetorically.
"Because Yves Saint Laurent is the suzerainty of Sogn," the middle-aged man roared, "Do you think I'm qualified?"
"Oh, then from now on, Saint Laurent is no more. ”
Downton is not stupid, if this guy represents Saint Laurent and hangs the national emblem of the empire, he is no matter how dissatisfied he is, he has to endure it and give people a little face, but he is hanging Napoleon's family coat of arms, which means that this is a private family matter.
No need to ask, the Duchy of Sogn is a vassal of the Napoleonic family, and when he saw that something was wrong, he hurried here, relying on the prestige of the family's wealthy family, he could completely settle the trouble, but the middle-aged man didn't expect Downton to be so stunned this time.
The citizens were in an uproar, and Downton's tone was flat, as if he was talking about what to eat at night, but everyone knew that this sentence would bring war.
"Downton, do you want to choose war?" The middle-aged man's face also turned cold, "Don't think that there is the Lombard Alliance standing behind you, we can't do anything about you!"
"You're threatening me?"
Downton gradually became impatient, and was continuously threatened and questioned by a guy, and no one would be in a good mood if he changed.
"I'm just threatening you, how dare you?" the middle-aged man disdained, "Do you dare to hang me up and whip me?"
Downton glanced at the goblin courtier next to him.
"If you insult the Duke in public, you should be punished with a hundred lashes according to the law!"
The goblin courtiers were all sycophants, and immediately announced loudly with understanding.
"Huh?"
Before the middle-aged man could react, a group of wolf-like barbarians pounced, and as soon as the griffin cavalry wanted to resist, they were hit by the wrath of the lonely mountain, and they fell into dizziness one by one
"No, you can't whip me, I'm the Viscount of the Empire!"
The thinking of the wealthy is deep-rooted, and the middle-aged man didn't think that Downton would be so tough at all, but the other party did it, he saw the other party's eyes, which was resolute, which made him irrepressibly reminded of the Duke, whenever he showed this kind of eyes, any decision he made was allowed to be questioned and changed by others!
Archduke Sogn was dumbfounded, and his back was soaked with cold sweat, Downton did this, he was offended to the Napoleonic family, he was not even afraid of the imperial wealth, how could he care about an archduke who couldn't even squeeze into a third-rate country?
At this moment, Grand Duke Sogn knew that he was dead! (To be continued......
