Three days later, Count Killian invited all the powerful nobles of Harriz to his mansion to a banquet to discuss next year's tax quota. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

There is no doubt that the families have him. Because it happens every year. Although this year is a little early, it is also expected. Therefore, each noble family sent the principal of its own family to attend the banquet.

At night, in the city of Haritz.

Exhausted from a long day's work, the civilians took their pitiful salaries to buy some simple food that was barely enough to feed and share with their families. After eating a fairly hot meal, he curled up in a simple house, hoping to have a full meal tomorrow.

The town guards, who had been on duty for a day, and some of the guards who had come here with the caravan walked into the taverns in twos and threes. Sipping on cheap rye wine, boasting about rumors from others, making lewd jokes with each other, and teasing the warblers in the tavern.

If the price is right, these people will open a room in a hotel. And then leave behind his own money bag, which is not rich.

As for the aristocratic boys and the children of wealthy merchants, they did the same thing in higher places, only in a more "civilized" manner.

As for the real people in this city, they all gathered in the mansion of Count Killian, enjoying all kinds of rare delicacies, playing with the beautiful maids around them, and talking loudly about Harriez's profit division next year.

Earl Killian, who was sitting at the top of the table, slowly played with the wine glass in his hand, and looked at the chattering nobles below with disdain, thinking about how many of these nobles would be left after tonight, and how to distribute the property they left behind.

"Thank you to the god of fate for letting my master find me first, otherwise I would have entered the slaughterhouse like those lost lambs below without knowing it. Count Killian secretly rejoiced.

At this moment, a knight hurried over. This man with the strength of a great knight was an attendant who stayed next to Kenan and obeyed Kenan's orders at this time.

The knight hurriedly whispered a few words to Count Killian, who was immediately overjoyed. He whispered a few words to the knight, and the knight who received the order hurriedly withdrew.

Bell, bell, bell.

Count Killian tapped the crystal glass lightly with a silver spoon, and the originally noisy hall slowly fell silent. The nobles who were talking to each other put down their glasses and looked at Count Killian, who was sitting on the throne, not knowing what he was going to say.

Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on him, Count Killian slowly stood up, "Ladies and gentlemen of the Kingdom of Gordon, the rulers of Haritz City. Are you dissatisfied with the unequal distribution of benefits in the kingdom, are you still worried about the heavy taxes in the kingdom, are you still arguing over trade routes, are you still struggling with one or two shops, don't you feel that you are acting worthy of your status? From this day forward, we will not be bothering about a small profit. Tonight, we are about to usher in the greatest change ever. And the city of Haritz will also have a great new life, and we have our co-host, Lord Kenan. ”

"What, Killian, are you crazy, you're a rebellion against the kingdom. The red-faced Count Gorens stood up, only slightly inferior to Count Kirian in terms of strength. The two often fight openly and secretly, and usually if Killian is in favor of him, he will definitely oppose it. This kind of disapproval of each other was commonplace among the aristocracy.

"Killian, if you're willing to hand over your casino, I'll act like I've never heard of anything. At this moment, an old man in silver-haired clothes who was nearly sixty years old stood up. He is the third largest force in Harez City, Count Dungar.

Although Earl Dungar is already sixty years old, in terms of strength, he is the highest in the entire aristocratic circle of Haritz. Coupled with the fifty ironclad guards under his command, he has secured the position of the third big man in Harez City.

At this time, some of the small nobles in the hall also stood up one after another to respond to their boss. Jointly denounce Earl Killian.

Count Killian was not angry, but looked at the faces that denounced him with a smile, as if to remember their countenances. However, if anyone who is familiar with Count Killian sees this at this time, they will find that Count Killian looks at everyone like a dead man at this time.

There are also many nobles in the hall who are very thoughtful, and they know that Count Killian must have his own merits in being able to sit on the throne of Harriz City for many years. Count Cillian dared to say such almost rebellious words in front of everyone, and he must have his own support, so he was not in a hurry to bet, and was ready to see how the situation developed.

This is, a burst of coercion like a substance came from outside, and many nobles who were not strong were overwhelmed by the coercion and couldn't move, only Count Deng Jiaer still relied on his strong strength to barely kneel on the ground and struggled to support.

And Killian and the others, who were deliberately let go, immediately knelt down and saluted, "I have seen Lord Kenan, and my subordinates are not doing things well, please forgive me." ”

Kenan snorted softly, "I can't do a little thing, what do I want you to do? next time you play this kind of cleverness, you can kill yourself, at least you can have a happy death." ”

Kennan's words made a cold sweat break out of Earl Cillian's head. Count Killian bowed his head deeply, Kenan's glance just now gave Killian the illusion of being in the abyss of hell, and the sweat soaked through the fine clothes he was wearing.

Ignoring the frightened Earl of Killian, Kenan withdrew the mental coercion exerted, "If you are willing to submit to me, please stand by Count Killian's side." ”

This is also a small trick for questioning, and in this way, you can also pick out people who are really flexible and shrewd. As for the wallgrass that follows the crowd, Kennan doesn't need it. Rather than leaving them to pull their hind legs, it is better to take this opportunity to clean up. This allows you to spend more resources on building an army, rather than being a bunch of wastes that just eat, drink, and have fun.

Many nobles looked at each other, not knowing what to do, and many nobles set their sights on their own boss. Earl Collens and Earl Dungar, who felt the many inquiring eyes, were a little overwhelmed at this time, and years of experience told them that the person in front of them was powerful and invincible. However, years of aristocratic life have accustomed them to calculating, bargaining, and exchanging benefits. It is impossible for them to surrender plainly and hand over everything they have.

At this time, Count Deng Jiaer, who had the highest strength, stood up, "This lord,"

"You have ten seconds to think about it. ”

"My lord, we"

"Nine"

"Listen to me, sir."

"Eight"

At this moment, several nobles who did not stand in line immediately got up and ran behind Count Killian. Count Killian's face showed a look of pity, and he didn't know if it was a pity that he was missing a divided asset.

"Seven"

Some of the nobles were encouraged and ran along, while others stood up, but looked at their boss and retreated.

"When the time comes, be judged. ”

"My lord, you said it for ten seconds. ”

He was answered by hundreds of shiny crescent-like blades.
