Chapter 20: The Truth of the World

Some people were still hesitant after listening to Iwan's words, but some people had already taken action, especially some nobles who were not so confident in their martial arts.

There aren't many opponents they can defeat, and if they are preempted, they will probably have to be explained here today.

Even if some of them still have friendships with each other, they don't care so much in the face of death, and even some vassals challenge their own feudal kings.

Of course, there are also nobles who are unwilling to kill each other, and they get together to break out of the encirclement of those Wing Clan warriors and escape from Lionheart.

However, these people overestimated their own skills, and underestimated the ruthlessness of those Wing Clansmen.

A scalp-numbing rain of arrows whizzed down from the sky, and after taking Lionheart, the Wing Clan warriors no longer had to worry about military supplies.

Therefore, they did not spare the arrows in their hands any longer, but in a matter of moments, the twenty-odd nobles all fell to the ground.

Witnessing this scene, the remaining imperial nobles also completely gave up the luck in their hearts and began to fight hard.

Eventually, when Solomon's figure appeared on the ruins of King's Landing, there were only forty-two Imperial nobles still standing on the field.

You must know that there are nearly two hundred large and small families who came to Solomon this time.

Not even a quarter of the people survived, far less than half of Solomon's mandate, not only because some of those who tried to escape were shot dead on the spot, but also because there were people involved in more than one joust.

Some of them were forced, and after a victory, they were targeted by those who had not yet won, and the Wing Clan warriors on the side didn't know if it was because of the language barrier, or if they didn't care at all, and they didn't care about this kind of thing, but just let those imperial nobles continue to fight.

Others took the initiative, because Iwan had promised that the winner would take the loser's land, so some people were moved to this point.

Two of them stood out the most, a young man dressed as a wandering knight, his martial arts were a cut above everyone present, no one was his opponent, and in just a few moments he had defeated five enemies.

There were also two people who teamed up to kill him, but he killed him, and in addition to this, an old man who looked thin also killed four opponents in one go.

He obviously looked like he was about to enter the ground, but when he pulled out his sword, he became vigorous again, his swordsmanship was not as good as that of the young wandering knight, but he was willing to fight hard, and he was ruthless enough, and he also killed one person from behind.

Solomon looked at the young wandering knight and said, "What's your name?" ”

Hearing this, the latter put away the blood-stained sword in his hand and fell to one knee on the ground, "I'm Wolfe, from the Vannathan family, and people call me a wanderer.

"My family has long since declined, and I am the only one left in my generation."

"Wolf, why did you come to Fort Lionheart?" Solomon asked.

"Because I heard that if I join you, I will get land, and whoever gives me land, I will work for whomever I want." The young wandering knight said.

"Very well, all those who are killed by you have their land to you, I have always been the talker, and as long as you keep this momentum in the future, I can also keep you and get more land.

Solomon paused, and instructed one of the Wing Clan warriors beside him, "Take him to the Emperor's treasury and pick a sword, such a warrior deserves a better weapon." ”

After saying that, he moved his gaze to the old nobleman again, "Then who are you?" ”

"Vilstein, old oak Vilstein." The old nobleman grinned, "I am the head of House Dormond. ”

"You don't seem to be too young anymore, why are you still fighting?" Solomon Road.

"Oh, because my twenty-six wives gave birth to more than forty sons, and my share of the family business is not enough, and despite my age, I still have to come out to find work."

Vierstein stuck his two-handed sword on the ground, held it in his hand, and said as he gasped, "Great conqueror, king of the winged people, you don't have to worry about the investment in me going down the drain, my old bones are tough, and I can serve you for a long time."

"At least longer than half of the people standing here today."

Solomon shook his head, "I'm not the king of the Winged Terrans, I'm just the commander of this army, but I appreciate your spirit of fighting for future generations.

"Rest well, soon you will have something to do."

Solomon's last words were also addressed to all the nobles present, "You have eaten the flesh and blood of the House of Vespasian and your swords have drunk the blood of your countrymen, and from now on the other nobles of this continent will regard you as enemies."

"But fortunately you are now on the side of the victors, go and tear apart the cancer left by the old dynasty, and your children and grandchildren will be grateful for your choice today."

The nobles present, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know who took the lead first, and they also got down on one knee like Wolfe.

"I am willing to be driven by adults."

Solomon was pleased with the answer, the Wings were in dire need of allies right now, but not everyone wanted them.

Of the more than 200 people who came to defect this time, it was enough to leave 40 people.

He doesn't mind that the people below are ambitious, like Wolf and Vilstein, because ambition also means motivation.

And Solomon was absolutely confident that he would be able to keep an eye on the hounds.

"Oh yes, there's one more thing."

Solomon had already planned to leave, but he thought of something and stopped, "I don't care which god you believed in before, from now on you are only allowed to worship Gaia, the goddess of the Mother of the Heavens, and I will erect a statue of her on this ruin."

"I've noticed that there are a lot of bronzes in the city, and I heard that the previous emperor intended to use them to create an idol of a different god, and now this batch of bronzes can be used where they should be used.

"When you return, you must also inspect your land, tear down all the temple idols that you have left behind, expel the priests inside, and tell your children and the people that there is only one true god in this world.

"The other gods are forged by mortals, remember to send your favorite children here as well, and I will have the wizards of Gaia teach them the truth of this world."

The nobles looked at each other, but as Solomon had said, there was no way back for them.

The dozen or so captives of the Vespasian family had already been killed by them, and their hands were still stained with the blood of other imperial nobles, but it was just a change of faith, and there was nothing unacceptable.
