I don't know how long it took, but there was a loud noise outside the door, and the noise became louder and louder, so loud that the people sitting in the castle had to be distracted.

Who the hell disturbs himself to think about life!!, Stannis was about to scold, but the castle gate was kicked open.

Before Stannis could scream, a group of heavily armed and well-armed soldiers walked in without hesitation.

The leader looked like the commander of the group, his helmet in his hand, his half-bald head leaking, and the robe he wore over his armor with a two-headed eagle emblazoned on it.

The half-bald commander's face looked furious, "Who is the lord of this territory, he even refuses to see the imperial army!

His voice ran through the hall, full of anger.

As soon as Stannis heard this, he knew that something was wrong, and he wanted to assign a personal top bag at will, but found himself sitting on the lord's throne, and the other party also found this, and strode towards him with the sword under his crotch, and the soldiers behind him followed closely.

The lord in the seat was so frightened that he forgot to run away.

Eventually, the group stopped less than two meters away from him.

"You're Stennis Stanis!" the commander snapped.

"Uh-huh. "Stannis was so frightened that the six gods were gone.

At this time, Bachelor Romon and Korodov chased in, but they didn't dare to interrupt the questioning of the imperial officers, they just did not stop this group of people from breaking into the castle at the door, these guys looked bad at first glance, but in fact, the imperial army has always had this attitude when facing these little lords.

The officer clipped his helmet in a different direction and spoke, "I am Lieutenant Vlady of the 3rd Battalion of the Eastern Dispatch Force of the Empire, and Major Charachi has sent me to find out why you refuse to pay your taxes. ”

What! Just a little lieutenant dares to show off his might like this, and he is a hereditary count!

Stannis, who reacted, was about to have a seizure, but saw Bachelor Romon waving his hand at him, signaling him not to die.

"Yes...... Is there any problem?" Stannis forced to smile.

"As the lord of the empire, why didn't you fulfill your tax obligations!"

Vladdy's voice echoed through the hall.

Under the backdrop of the other party's aura, Stannis whispered in a mosquito-like voice: "I thought that I had calculated it with your tax collector at that time, and according to the promulgated code, I finally calculated that you actually overcharged me and should return it to ......."

"Shut up!" the lieutenant interrupted him in a loud and extremely rude voice.

Are the Imperial armies so domineering!

"You can't be so unreasonable!" said Stannis, plucking up his courage, "who is your sir, and I am going to complain to that Major Charaki!"

Lieutenant Vladdy obviously didn't like this, and he angrily put his hand on the hilt of his sword and shouted even louder, "Okay, you asked to see our sir, and I have this intention, because I received an order from the major to take you back for interrogation!"

Damn! Stannis just said casually, I didn't expect the other party to be so dead-eyed! I am enough, every time I want to dive into the main quest and build a territory to strengthen my strength, there will be countless troubles to find the door in turn, forcing myself to pick up these useless and deadly branches, and forcing them to open, if you don't complete it, you can't do it.

Thinking of this, he made up his mind that he would not go to see any major with the guy in front of him, he raised his head and said in the earl's tone, "I'm sorry, this lieutenant Mr. I've already calculated the tax problem very clearly, if you have any questions, tell your major to bring someone who understands finances over, until then, I will stay in the territory and never go anywhere, forgive my fate!"

Stannis was a rare moment of stiffness, which made two of his men look at him with admiration, but they also knew that the lord's disaster was coming, because the Empire would never be soft on those who disobeyed its will.

Sure enough, Lieutenant Vladdy didn't listen to him at all, and he was even more angry, as if he was about to punch Stannis, "I don't care about any messy algorithms! I just know that you didn't pay taxes to the Empire! and refusing to pay taxes to the Empire will only end up!"

After saying that, he and the soldiers behind him drew their long swords at the same time, and the reflected sword light all gathered in front of the lord's eyes.

"Moving...... Genuine !?"

Stannis felt a blank look in front of him and passed out.

Stannis woke up to find himself in a small dark room.

There was no light, and he didn't even know where he was.

The first thing he woke up was, he immediately touched his pants with his hand, fortunately, the belt of the pants was also tied around his waist, it seemed that no one took advantage of his coma to rip off his pants, he didn't want to lose his virginity for no reason.

Now that the worst didn't happen, Stannis could pause and try to think about what had happened.

Just now, a team of guys claiming to be Imperial soldiers rushed in, and then asked for money from him without saying a word, he said that asking for money was not fatal, and the other party showed his white blades one after another, and then he lost consciousness.

In the end, he concluded: Is he dead?

But he didn't cry or spit on injustice, because if it were heaven or hell, wouldn't it be too dark?

He struggled to maintain his inner peace, and heard someone's voice coming from next door, and it seemed that the underworld was also going to communicate in words.

The lord slowly stood up and walked towards the edge of the small black room, it seemed that the room was very narrow, and he only stood up slightly before hitting the ceiling with his head, although it hurt, but he was sure that the room was made of wood.

Heaven and hell should not build a house with the materials of this main material plane, that is to say, they are not dead, they are still in the world!

A sense of joy enveloped his entire body, but the sound of rustling next door to the template made him very distracted, as if someone was whispering there.

He tentatively shouted, "Is there anyone?"

The squirming next to it was louder, and it seemed that someone was talking urgently.

Stannis pressed his ear to it, trying to hear what the man was saying.

"Another newcomer?" an old voice repeated.

"Well, are you also a lord who was caught for tax arrears?" Stannis asked quietly.

After a long silence, the old man seemed to be reminiscing about the past, and then sighed, "Yes, I was arrested thirty years ago just because I was in arrears for a month's tax. ”

What's fuck!The traverser immediately paralyzed his legs in fright, he didn't expect the consequences of not paying taxes to be so serious, just a month's tax arrears, and he was going to be imprisoned until death, the laws of the empire are too outrageous.
