"It's all done with goblin technology?"

Several drow elves were stunned as they watched the mechanical bear bully swell like an inflatable ball, as they didn't feel any elemental fluctuations from the hero.

"Yes, its material is an expanded metal with memory properties, after activation, the molecular structure will change, due to the size of the body, its attack power increases, but the defense power has not weakened much, even in the era of big goblins, it is also a high-end technology. ”

Abagon was proudly introduced.

The fifteen-meter-tall mechanical bear is like an iron giant, full of visual oppression, and they also incorporate some golem technology, so they have simple intelligence.

"After injecting a few drops of blood into the groove of the heart and touching it through guò and binding the fingerprint, you can become its owner, it's very simple!"

Abagon shrunk the bear and returned it to Downton.

"Hu Tao will be very happy to know that there is still this kind of usage!"

Downton was very satisfied, the value of this mechanical bear tyrant was even more than the Supreme Ring for him, even if he didn't use it, he could make a lot of money just by selling it as an arm, and those high-ranking officials and magnates must be very happy to carry such a very concealed bodyguard.

"Gone!"

After packing up the loot, the satisfied Downton was ready to go back to sleep, they didn't know that the owner of this bear was the chief designer of the venture goblin investment company, otherwise it would not have been so intact.

The next day, after careful consideration, Downton issued a third-class recruitment order, requiring all young men over the age of 18 and under the age of 35 to be conscripted into the army and sent to the front.

This time, his order was carried out unconditionally. With the blessing of their parents, wives and children, the men rushed to the front with simple luggage.

For nearly 300 years, Frankfurt had never done anything to expand its territory, and as soon as Downton took office, he defeated the more than 200,000 troops of Samosai in a single battle, not only driving these invaders back. He also captured the city of Duowei and the Duchy of Sogn.

The glorious victory also won Downton great prestige, so the men were recruited into battle, although there were some complaints, but they were all from the hearts of the cowards, most of the soldiers, eager to make a fortune in the war, especially when they heard that the soldiers on the front line had grabbed a lot of gold coins. They can't wait to put on their wings and fly to the battlefield.

The mobilization continued, including the logistical deployment of materials and personnel, which was a complicated and heavy task, but under the leadership of Abagon and a group of goblins, everything was carried out in an orderly manner, and not even the slightest mistake occurred.

The value of the goblins, as the war progressed, began to show.

Downton had dark circles under his eyes. Took care of a lot of official business, close to noon. The servant came to inform him that it was almost time for the execution of the Grand Duke of Sogn's family.

The citizens of Sogn did not dare to disobey Downton's orders, and all took to the streets, surrounding the town square, and the noisy whispers filled the air, making the atmosphere even more oppressive.

When Downton appeared on the steps of the town hall. The two teams of abomination standing guard immediately put their feet together and snapped into a salute.

With the sound of military boots stomping on the ground, nearby citizens looked over and quickly closed their mouths when they spotted Downton.

In a moment. All the whispers disappeared, and people looked at Downton in amazement, no way, he was too young, but now he was the lord of a country!

The crowd automatically retreated to the sides, making way for a passageway.

Downton waved his hand, released the bone dragon, and then jumped on his back with a vertical leap, and rode it to the newly built torture platform a hundred meters away.

All the male members of the Sogn family, all dressed in black hoods and with their hands tied behind their backs, knelt on the torture table, and above their heads was a linen lasso for hanging, which was still gently shaking in the autumn wind.

The appearance of the bone dragon caused a commotion in the crowd, they had never seen such a terrifying demonic beast, let alone an 'evil' undead.

"Take off your hood!"

When the executioners heard the Duke speak, they hurriedly stepped forward and tore off the hoods of the Grand Duke Sogn and his party, these usually high-ranking magnates had lost their grace and nobility, and their clothes were in tatters, no different from the homeless people on the street.

Whining!

Their mouths were pursed, so they couldn't scold Downton despite their angry expressions.

"The Duchy of Sogn sent 30,000 troops, and provided billions of military funds to assist Samosai in invading Frankfurt, which was officially listed as an enemy country, and now the city is broken, and the punishment is as follows, any tax items in the principality will be increased by five times on the original basis!"

A goblin courtier stood on the torture table, unfurling the decree in his hand, reading aloud.

Airplanes!

When I heard about the tax increase, there was an uproar.

"Five times the tax?

"Mala, I know that none of these nobles are good!"

"It's all to blame on Grand Duke Sogn, what are you doing to provoke Frankfurt when you're idle?"

The citizens were angry and resentful, and at the thought of having to pay a lot more taxes and their lives would inevitably decline, they were full of anger at Downton and the Grand Duke, but the former could not afford to provoke them, so they poured their resentment on the latter.

"Kill him, blame him!"

Someone took the lead, and more and more citizens picked up the debris and smashed it at the Grand Duke.

The guards hurried forward and covered the prisoners with their shields.

The crowd began to crowd, the noise grew louder, and the goblin courtiers shouted for silence, but unfortunately to no avail.

Downton looked at these citizens, knocked the heel of his right foot a few times, the bone dragon understood, exhaled and raised his voice, and then a huge dragon roar swept through the sky.

Roar!

The citizens covered their ears with painful expressions, and suddenly became much quieter.

"From now on, the Duchy of Sogn will become the territory of Frankfurt and will be under the control of the Duke of Downton!"

The words of the goblin courtiers made the municipal square completely silent, and the citizens looked at each other, a little unacceptable, what is this?

"From now on, there is no Duchy of Sogn, only the Sogn realm, and there are no Sogn people, only Frankfurt people!"

As the goblins announced, the soldiers watching the ceremony let out a loud shout. This is the cry of the victors, their glory.

In stark contrast to this is the loneliness of the Sognens.

"The Duke of Downton is benevolent and kind-hearted, and he can't bear to see his people suffer, so he takes the initiative to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to change his nationality and be exempted from double the tax. Now that the Motherland has crossed the border, occupied the city of Dowei, and is marching on the capital of the King of Samosai, the Duke needs an army, and if anyone volunteers to join the army and become a volunteer, all taxes will be exempted, and the other legionnaires will be treated equally!"

Through the magic speaker, the goblin narrates one by one that the execution is just a deterrent. Downton's main purpose was to enact these decrees and recruit soldiers.

No one likes to fight, because it means death, but it is different to win all the time, everyone wants to burn and loot to make a war profit, and everyone thinks that they will not be the unlucky person who dies in battle.

There is a balance in everyone's heart, if Downton forces the conscription of soldiers. These people will definitely be resistant, and they will not be able to fight due to their low morale. Now it's different, with five times the tax exemption and the same benefits, plus the incentive to win, many men are already tempted.

"The man in our family was killed by you, you let us live!"

A woman holds her daughter. Suddenly raised her head and yelled at Downton, she was completely desperate, the man died, what should she do in the future?

"Sorry, on the battlefield. I can't show mercy, otherwise it will be my subordinates who will die, and they also have parents and wives, and I must bring back the victory, otherwise I will not have the face to meet them!"

Downton looked grief-stricken.

Woooooo

Listening to Downton's answer, the woman was speechless, after all, the initiator of this war was Samosa, and they were all aggressors.

"The Duke has an order, and those who do not have young and strong laborers in the family can be exempted from five times the tax!"

The goblin continued to read the decree.

Many people were relieved when they heard this, thinking that Downton was still a good person, at least he could raise his children to adulthood.

"This is psychological warfare, for them, there is no change in the taxes paid, but for your senses, it is from resistance to gratitude!"

Homer taught.

Downton nodded, he had to do this, what would the people of his own country think if he gave the Sognians the same national treatment for no reason?

The victor should have the spoils and superiority of the victor, otherwise what would the soldiers fight for? Why would the citizens still pay taxes?

Downton believes that in the years to come, the people of Frankfurt will be absolutely high above these Sognes.

"This is as it should be, only victory and welfare, only spiritual and material gains, the people will firmly support you, will become your diehards, and will fight for you!"

Homer also took it for granted, equality, that thing was relative!

Archduke Sogn watched the citizens accept this fact, no longer filled with righteous indignation, and his face was as gray as ashes, what could be more painful than watching the country fall apart and the people turn against him?

"It's time, execution!"

After reading the decree, the goblin courtiers directly announced the execution.

Grand Duke Sogn is a tough guy, but his family can't, after all, in this world, there are always a few warriors who regard death as home.

As the soldiers put the ropes around their necks, the guys cried and fussed, struggling violently, and a few cowards even scared their and urine.

Looking at these ugly guys, the citizens couldn't believe that they were the nobles who usually behaved elegantly, just such people, why should they be high, why should they look down on themselves?

"Hang them!"

"Hang them!"

At first it was just a few voices, but gradually, the cries of the hanged came together and swept through the square like a storm.

At this moment, only by hanging them can the anger and dissatisfaction accumulated in the hearts of the citizens be vented.

Downton was also startled by this sudden roar, looking at the raised arms and distorted faces, he suddenly felt that maybe one day, he would also be sent to the execution table. (To be continued......)
