523 The royal family was shocked
The Grand Duke of Berkeley has become more and more embarrassed these days, and most of the guards around him have been killed in the battle under the encirclement and suppression of the mutual aid society. The few dozen people who remained were also terrified.
Before leaving, the Grand Duke of Berkeley also brought a large amount of belongings from his residence. But now I don't know where I lost it.
The Berkeley family's territory received a request for help early in the morning, but the player blocked the main passage of the Duchy of Berkeley first.
The small team of reinforcements they sent was all surrounded and wiped out by the mutual aid association at the first time. This move completely angered the eldest son, who was stationed in the territory of the principality.
Berkeley's eldest son has the strength of the Silver Eighth Order, and he prides himself on being a strong man. Ignoring the obstruction of his subordinates, he led eighty percent of the elite infantry with a total of more than 30,000 infantry into the territory of the lord next door.
The lord next door is only a viscount, and his realm exists as a buffer zone between the two nobles. When he learned that the 30,000-strong army had crossed the border, he hurriedly reported the matter to the great nobles and royal families on the other side.
The royal family also began to pay attention to this matter.
This transfer is not at all on the same level as the transfer of personnel from the earlier blockade of Victor County.
Most of the latter were risk-takers, and even if there were garrisons, they were a rabble similar to militias.
The former is an elite aristocracy, and its combat effectiveness is not at the same level, and the possible consequences are even more immeasurable.
If Berkeley took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the nearby nobles, it would most likely cause a riot within the kingdom.
At this time, in the eyes of the royal family, the players surrounding the Grand Duke of Berkeley were only a few hundred people. Although these people can be resurrected, the upper limit of the number is there.
On the other side, the armies of the great nobles urgently moved, and all of them were stationed in the fortress in the direction of the Berkeley army.
The royal family reacted quickly, sending the royal janissaries and messengers to contact Berkeley's eldest son. But before the Praetorian Guard and the messenger arrived, they received a report that Berkeley's elite had been defeated.
In the eyes of the player, the aboriginal army is a walking gold bag, and from time to time it can burst out a experience pack or two.
As soon as the [Pickup Soldiers] waved, tens of thousands of mutual aid members teleported to the war zone. According to the intelligence of the spies of various parties, there are no more than a thousand members of the Prell family gathered here.
Therefore, all the forces did not take them into view, and tens of thousands of people suddenly appeared at this time. The royal family also couldn't sit still.
It seems that the people of the Prell family not only have the secret method of resurrecting the dead, but also have the secret method of teleporting a large number of members over long distances.
If one day they wanted to rebel, they would directly send three million Spartan to the royal capital. Even if King Hulivot's Praetorian Guard was ten times larger, it would not be able to resist it.
After the members of the Mutual Aid Society eliminated the elite of Berkeley, they stormed the Duchy of Berkeley and took down the remaining defenders in one fell swoop.
The Archduke of Berkeley, who was still on the run, received the news and had no intention of continuing to flee.
Tired, don't run.
The home is gone, and everywhere you go is hunted down.
Simply, Berkeley surrendered directly when he was discovered by the mutual aid society again.
In the end, he reached a consensus in friendly negotiations with the [Pickup Soldiers] to pay eighty percent of the taxes in the territory every year. At the same time, the Chamber of Commerce of the [Pickup Soldiers] can enter and leave the Duchy of Berkeley at will, without any control.
And the Grand Duke of Berkeley provided the station of each town, and established the Gold Chamber of Commerce established by the [Pickup Soldiers] as the first Chamber of Commerce of the Duchy of Berkeley. All chambers of commerce that wish to do business in the Duchy of Berkeley are subject to the administration of the Gold Chamber of Commerce.
In the territory of the Duchy of Berkeley, the trend of the consortium ruling was initially established.
Because the royal family couldn't figure out the player's teleportation mechanism, they didn't dare to act rashly. It can be regarded as acquiescing to the misdeeds of the [Pickup Soldiers] in the Duchy of Berkeley.
The nearby nobles all mobilized their troops to the side facing the Duchy of Berkeley, and after learning of the changes in the Duchy of Berkeley, they did not dare to withdraw their troops easily.
The scrutiny of inbound players can be said to be both lenient and strict.
Lenient will never restrict players from entering the country for any reason; Strictly as soon as a low-level player clears an important level, the Eye of Insight will be secretly applied. Players above the Silver level will also be stalked by secretly assigned spies.
Only gold-level players are immune to the Eye of Insight, and the royal family does not have the manpower and material resources to appoint a large number of strong people to keep an eye on them, so they can only continue to remain in a laissez-faire state.
The Eye of Insight is a continent-wide secret technique, but it can only be learned by the Kingdom's Mystic Mage Academy, and the Kingdom's elite Mystics are all familiar with this ability. The caster's location is always detected. If the recipient uses psychic power or qi, the caster will also receive feedback.
The spellcasters are all appointed by the royal family and the major nobles, and they are all first-class experts in the kingdom, and these are shadow detectives who specialize in detection and tracking.
Even only bronze can track silver without being detected.
If it weren't for the limited number of people, the royal family would be eager to place shadow detectives in all levels.
The player is not aware of the secret techniques in this kind of kingdom academy, so they are not able to find out about it in the first place.
Du Wei could see the state of the players from the backstage, although he had never been to the Kingdom Academy, he had heard of such secret methods.
Now it seems that the player has been targeted by the royal family of Houlivot, and it is estimated that it will not be long before a fierce conflict breaks out between the two sides.
He decided to hold his troops for the time being and consolidate the city defenses of his territory first. Observe and respond based on the royal family's reaction.
If you want to say who is the most guilty of the royal family's change of attitude towards the player, then you have to mention [Winter Wind].
He was originally promoted by the rocket, but he received an appointment again. It's just that this time the order looks glamorous, but in fact, it is bright and dark. He was transferred from a powerful officer to a gold-level general as an adjutant.
In order to allow the general to monitor his every move closely.
【Winter Wind】Farewell to his soldiers, he came to General Heydri's station.
Hydri's current strength was at the Golden Eighth Order, and he had touched the epic threshold. But because he was desperate for promotion, he used a certain prop by mistake, and his strength plummeted. In this life, he can only stop at the Golden Eighth Order.
Although Hydri is a general, he majored in secret methods, and his aura is only bronze-level strength. This is common among the player community, but it is a gifted all-rounder for the Aborigines.
He sat in front of the table in his robe, listening to the report of the [Winter Wind].
He stood straight in front of Hydri with his back straight, and he reported his work like a battalion veteran.
This period of tempering has worn away a lot of insolence for him, and he has become more stable and down-to-earth.
Such a live broadcast atmosphere won him back some popularity. But because of the strict discipline in the army, he rarely interacted with the audience when he wanted to climb up, and he was cut off a lot of exposure by the room management. Therefore, the live broadcast room has always been maintained in a position that is not up or down.
