Chapter 268: The Conflict Resumes
readx;
The Free City, formerly known as Calitri City, is the capital of the Principality of Senhong, and it is not a remote, public area city, and there is no suspense in terms of ownership. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although the Principality of Senhong is located in the territory of the Kingdom of Gary, it is a city under the jurisdiction of the Principality of Garry, it should be noted that the Duchy of Senhong is not owned by the Kingdom of Garry.
As a prince, the highest title that can be given is the viscount, and above the viscount, starting from the earl, can only be canonized by the Holy See, and the kingdom has no right to canonize the title of earl or above.
To be able to establish a duchi, it is natural to have a dukedom, this title is given by the Holy See, not by the kingdom, after having a duke, you can choose a free city in any country, any place, as the capital of the country, and establish your own principality, whether you welcome it or not, the kingdom has no right to interfere.
Although the Principality of Senhong is within the territory of the Kingdom of Gary, the land used is the territory of the Kingdom of Gary, but the right to use it is given by the Holy See, not by the Kingdom of Gary, and they do not have this right.
In any case, however, the duchy was established on the territory of the kingdom, and therefore had to pay a land use tax, as well as a tax set by the Holy See.
In this continent, the highest power is the Holy See, but the Holy See is more of a spiritual authority, and does not participate in the actual governance of the country, but fosters a dynasty, which governs the dynasty, and then the dynasty governs the principalities, and manages it layer by layer, forming the management system of this world.
Under normal circumstances, the royal family is not allowed to arbitrarily confiscate the territories and cities of the principalities, but there are exceptions to everything, and nothing is absolute.
This time, the Gary royal family is in the name of military deployment, to seize the free city, as the center of the Gary kingdom, the transportation hub, naturally has a huge strategic significance, with this reason to take back, others can't say anything.
However, although the royal family has a good excuse, but for this land, the Senhong Principality also has the absolute right to speak, all the land in the world belongs to the Holy See, from this point of view, whether it is the Gary Kingdom or the Senhong Principality, they are not the real owners of this land, they are just users of this land.
Now, a contradiction arises when one user forcibly confiscates another user's city on the grounds of military deployment! Although each other's status is high and low, both sides have the same rights to this land!
According to the rules of the Holy See, the royal family naturally has the right to use all the land in the territory, but also according to the rules of the Holy See, the principality also has the right to use all the land in the territory, and only needs to pay taxes to the Holy See, that is, the royal family representing the Holy See, and the kingdom directly under it.
Both sides have the same rights, so the decision to dispute, in the end can only be strength, one party wants to grab, the other party does not let it, and both sides have the right to use this land, then in the end it is inevitable, it must be resolved by force, under the premise of having the same rights, whose fist is bigger, whose fist is harder, whose words are the final decision!
For the dispute between the Kingdom of Gary and the Principality of Senhong, the Holy See did not help each other and ordered them to settle it through negotiation on their own, but the negotiation could not be useful at all, in the face of such a big benefit, it was impossible for the Gary royal family to let go, and Hana was even more unwilling to be so cowardly to be picked by someone.
Actually, when things got here, the situation was already very unfavorable for the Senhong Principality, you know...... After all, the Gary royal family is the king! It is the king within a radius of 10,000 miles, and once a war breaks out between the two sides, the Senhong Principality will inevitably suffer.
The Duchy of Gary has twelve principalities, and once the war breaks out, the royal family of Gary can issue a summoning order to the principalities, and each of the principalities must contribute to form a joint army together to crusade against the enemy, and this enemy is now the Duchy of Senhong!
Of course, as a party to the dispute, as the holder of the right to use this land, the Duchy of Senhong can also find allies, and if anyone is blind to the actions of the Gary royal family, they can also join the side of the resistance and force the royal family to change the decision.
Although it is said that the land within a radius of thousands of miles belongs to the royal family, but the royal family is absolutely not free to do whatever it wants, once the edicts they promulgated are disgusted by all the principalities, everyone will naturally unite and resist the royal family together until they are willing to correct it, and it is precisely because of this that the tax laws promulgated in the past cannot be effectively enforced at all, and the royal family is also forced to be helpless, so they set a dead number for the principalities, and they must pay so much every year! And this figure is more than double the number stipulated in the tax law.
After being rejected by the Free City, the royal family soon issued a summoning order to the other eleven principalities, and except for the Principality of Senhong, the grand dukes of the other eleven countries went to the royal capital to hold a secret meeting.
If it were someone else, for such a meeting, I really couldn't know the inside story, but Lu Yi was different, when he accompanied Prince Ketu to the Free City, two tenth-order masters who were secretly planted by Lu Yi also participated in the meeting, and through the two parasites, those who should know know also know, and those who shouldn't know also know.
I have to say that for the sake of a free city, the Gary royal family is really determined to win, and in order to convince the heads of the principalities, the Gary royal family even made a half-tax promise!
According to the royal family's promise, as long as everyone helps the royal family win the free city this time, then from now on, the royal tax of all principalities will be halved! If you originally paid 100, you can pay 50 now!
In the face of such great interests, the principalities have little resistance, let alone ...... They don't need to pay too much, and they don't even need to send a large army, each principality only needs to send a hundred ninth-order masters.
Such a good thing, a fool will refuse, anyway, the free city is not theirs, but it makes them covetous, under the effect of envy, jealousy and hatred, among all the principalities, except for one principality that is a declining force and cannot send so many ninth-order masters, the other principalities have signed an agreement!
Of course, there are hundreds of ninth-order masters, not everyone can send them, taking an emerging force like the Senhong Principality as an example, in the entire force, there are only six ninth-order masters, where to take out hundreds?
However, for most of the old principalities, it is very easy to have a hundred ninth-order masters, taking the Duchy of Leiden as an example, let alone the ninth-order, there are more than ten ten-order masters! It is not a problem for the ninth-order to take out a few hundred.
Moreover, even if you can't get a hundred ninth-order masters, you are not afraid, although there are very few ninth-order masters, but after all, there are still them, they also need to live, they also need money, as long as the starting price is paid, someone will naturally work for you!
For the sake of a free city, the royal family is really bleeding this time, and they also know that if they want to mobilize everyone's positive surname, it is not enough to reduce taxes alone, and there must be visible and accessible interest lure.
For this reason, the royal family has mobilized a lot of money, and each principality that participates in the war will receive a large bounty, and all principalities are exempt from tax this year, and after the tax is restored next year, the royal tax will be halved, and the three major temptations will gather together, so that everyone will lose the idea of refusal, such a good thing, it is really a thousand years to wait.
After learning the news, Lu Yi made a decision as soon as possible, and in another kingdom, Red Moon, Thorns, and Rose, the forces of the three major power groups and the two major demons had a fierce battle!
Under the banner of revenge for Marsha, the two demons launched an attack on the three principalities of Red Moon, Thorns, and Roses, and the battle was very fierce, because both sides sent top masters, so in only three days, it caused huge casualties, more than seven hundred eighth-order masters fell, the two major demons and the three major forces suffered heavy losses, directly injured the vitality, in a short period of time, it is difficult to make waves again.
The whole battle, from the outbreak to the subsidence, only lasted three days, the beginning was fast, the end was sudden, after the two sides lost a large number of masters, they died down one after another, and the two devils were directly dispersed, except for some elites who were absorbed by the three major military intelligence bureaus, the vast majority of other members all fled, and the two major forces dissipated.
While the three Amy sisters are busy taking over the team of the two devils, the other side ...... In a cave on a cliff, a snow-white figure was sitting cross-legged, and white light clusters were revolving and circling around his body, and from time to time a ball of light jumped into his body and disappeared.
That's right, this figure is Lu Yi's brain-eating worm clone! The more than 700 eighth-order masters who died in battle were not really killed in battle, the battle was just an excuse, although they really started fighting, but these people did not die in the hands of the enemy, but were killed by brain-eating worms.
However, after summoning the brain-eating worm as his summoned beast, Lu Yi would not be so perverted and directly blow up the other party's head, but chose to drill out of his ears, so from the appearance alone, he couldn't see anything at all, but ...... If you open the brains of these deceased, you will find that their brains are gone, and the whole brain is empty.
When these warriors are drenched in blood and are about to die, the brain-eating worm will burst out of their ears, and once the brain-eating worm leaves, the other party will naturally die immediately.
All the corpses were arranged by Lu Yi, and the three Amy sisters were in charge of their respective cities, and then burned them collectively, and there was no proof of death, leaving no clues and flaws.
After absorbing seven hundred eighth-order parasites, the eyes of the brain-eating worm clone slowly opened, and a light as bright as starlight flashed, successfully breaking through to the ninth order!
The ninth-order brain-eating worm made Lu Yi extremely disappointed, and he still didn't comprehend the seventh combat skill, of course...... Lu Yi wasn't sure that the brain-eating worm would definitely be able to comprehend the seventh combat skill, in fact...... Being able to comprehend the five beast skills on his own is already a fantasy.
Although he didn't comprehend the last combat skill, and he didn't have any means of attack, the defense of the brain-eating insect was absolutely terrifying...... The first is the enchantment, which can weaken the energy attack equivalent to the ninth order, and then absorb the ability, and can absorb the attack equivalent to the ninth order, that is...... The ordinary attack of the tenth order is no longer broken, and even if you stand there shirtless and let the opponent bombard, you will not be hurt at all.
And don't forget, although the body of the brain-eating insect is not hard, it is extremely tough, and the strength of the ninth-order body is that only an artifact can break it, and ordinary weapons can't even leave a trace.
Moreover, the brain-eating worm is also proficient in flickering, and it can't beat the runner, right? As long as the mental power is enough, the brain-eating worm can now carry out continuous flashing without interruption, and it is really difficult to lock him, only a large-scale forbidden spell can really hit him, after all, ...... Blink is also range-limited, while forbidden spells are mostly area-of-effect attacks or even map bombardments!
