Chapter 460: Lynn: [Hadratta] doesn't need a king!
The kingdom of Hadrata, the magnificent palace can be heard in the falling needles.
More than 100 illustrious ministers of the kingdom stood on both sides of the main hall, but one by one they seemed to be blind and deaf, deaf to the offensive actions of Lynn and Lauder.
Everyone knows that the current kingdom is no longer the balance of kingship, divine power and nobility in the past, this is the world of wizards!
The silence of the crowd also made Khattar's heart sink to the bottom, but he still pretended to be surprised and asked. "I don't understand what you're talking about? Master Lynn, could there be any misunderstanding in this...... These are my attendants, but I don't ......."
"I've always thought we've worked well together, Your Majesty Khattar!" Lynn didn't give the other party a chance to defend himself, and interrupted Hattar's words with a sigh, and then continued.
"It's a pity that you betrayed our covenant, and you betrayed the entire kingdom and all the people in the territory!"
Although the existing feudal system of the [Hadratta] Kingdom is really not very much in line with his intentions, and it is not in line with the promotion system with 'knowledge' and 'magic' as the core he wants to formulate, but considering the stability problem within the kingdom, Lynn was not prepared to take action against the nobles and wealthy merchants in the kingdom at such a critical time.
After all, a year and a half is too short, although they have controlled a large area of the kingdom through various means, and even won the trust and favor of the poor people by releasing grain to recruit workers, complaining about grievances, and liquidating the aristocracy, but the management personnel are indeed very lacking.
According to his assumption, the purge of the nobility should be carried out after the council has cultivated some trustworthy administrators, and break through the legend to obtain absolute superiority over the church, so that it can be safe enough.
It's a pity that there are always some people who don't know how to use their mantis arms as cars......
The sudden food war launched by the nobles also made Lynn realize that it was time for the moths inside the kingdom to be cleaned up.
Such an extremely unstable factor, if it suddenly broke out during the decisive battle between them and the Empire, it would be really fatal!
Lynn's sighing words angered Hatar.
Betrayal of the kingdom?!
How dare the other party use such words to describe himself, to describe an orthodox king?
"Enough, this is my kingdom! It was, is, and will belong to the Bazel family, and I will never allow anyone to take it away! Hatar stood up from his throne like an angry lion, stared at Lynn in front of him, and spoke resentfully.
Probably realizing that all his justifications were meaningless, Khattar, who had endured it for a long time, completely tore off his disguise and gushed out all the anger in his heart.
More than a year ago, when he had just ascended to the throne of Hadrata as king, Hatar was completely immersed in the excitement of being in power, and even felt that without the constraints of the church, he would definitely be able to develop his ambitions and build a career that was not inferior to his father, King Bazel!
However, the euphoria lasted less than a month, and Khattar soon found that the new king had no power in his hands, and that many nobles, wealthy merchants, and palace ministers were like loyal dogs, trying their best to please the new masters of the kingdom in their eyes, the wizards of the Parliament.
Any of his decrees will be secretly sent to the Wizards' Council after it is issued, and Hatar's carefully planned plan to expand the army of 100,000 troops was directly vetoed by the other party on various far-fetched reasons!
Due to the aggressive attacks of the Church and the fear of the wizards' magic, Khattar felt humiliated, but he did not show it in the open.
He even comforted himself secretly that after repelling the attack of the church and recovering the territory of the kingdom, the wizards who lacked the ability to manage would definitely need to rely on the power of him, the king and nobles, to manage the huge kingdom!
However, the reality was completely different from what he expected, and after recovering the eastern territories of the kingdom, the wizards actually took it upon themselves to start killing the local nobles and taking these territories for themselves, and the king himself only received a so-called report after the fact!
It's a shame!
The other party even tried to prevaricate with a light and fluttering happy cooperation!
What frightened Hatar even more was that these wizards from overseas seemed to be able to manage various territories without their help at all, and they had also created a new way of management that was different from the previous feudal system!
Surely, this is shaking the very foundations of the Kingdom's existence!
Hatar's hysterical roar did not make Lynn angry, but rather disappointed to see the ugliness of the [Hadratta] king.
It is no wonder that Bazel II was slow to appoint a crown prince.
How can such a character, a city, and a mind be a good king!
Lynn waited for Hatar's angry rebuke to end before speaking slowly.
"You're wrong, no territory is absolutely anyone's, Khattar!"
"More than a year ago, you just snatched the crown from the head of your father Bazel, and this so-called throne was only taken by your ancestors from the former king a hundred years ago!"
"Since you are not fit to take on the responsibility of king, there is no need to continue the present......" Lynn stepped forward and said indifferently.
The indifferent words were like a basin of cold water poured over his head, and in an instant he extinguished the courage that rose in Khattar's heart based on anger...... The figure approaching step by step carried a certain indescribable sense of oppression, and the air around it condensed.
How dare you?
I am the king of Hadratha!
Hatar's face was frightened, and he subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to scold, but his body seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and even opening his mouth became a luxury.
An inexplicable chill spread from deep down his spine, and Hattar sat on the throne in disarray, only to watch as his right hand stretched out towards the top of his head.
[Uncontrolled forces will sooner or later bring disaster to this kingdom!] 】
At the moment when that hand was in his place, Khattar's mind remembered King Bazel's deathbed warning, and a deep color of remorse suddenly welled up in his heart.
You are right, Father!
Hatar regretted why he had cooperated with these 'evil' wizards in the first place to bury the kingdom, but it was obviously too late to regret at this moment, under the suppression of a great wizard's domain, even as a bloodline knight, he did not have the slightest ability to resist, and Lynn put his hand on the top of his crown very smoothly.
Psionic Spell - [Memory Retrieval]
All kinds of complicated memory fragments poured up like a tide, and the anger, humiliation, and unwillingness of the other party were all presented in front of Lynn without concealment, and there was a lot of hidden information with it.
"Gustav......" Lynn murmured in a low voice.
Although he had long guessed that there would be a shadow of the church behind the whole thing, he never imagined that it would be a high-ranking member of the church who secretly infiltrated the kingdom and planned all this behind the scenes.
This is also the omission of using airship cruise as a protection system, only a large-scale entry of people can be found, if the other party is only one person and strong, and knows how to disguise, it is not easy to find out.
Nor could they spread magical enchantments that detect divine fluctuations throughout the borderlands.
Of course, the new king thought more, not exactly according to the orders of the commander of the Divine Punishment Army, Gustav, in the other party's opinion, the church and the wizard are also standing on the top of the king's power, and the obstacles need to be removed!
If a small number of wizards and the church can fight to defeat each other, then naturally they will not have the ability to manage the huge kingdom, or even the entire empire, and the royal power will be able to return to the top.
I have to say that this idea is quite beautiful, but it's a pity that the other party's ability to plan and layout is really poor.
Hattar thought that he was hiding behind the scenes, letting the most trusted Grand Duke of Gard contact with Gustav, using Mortan and others as pawns, even if he failed, he would not be affected, but he didn't know that several of his close attendants had already been bought by them!
Lynn slowly withdrew his hand, so violently extracting the memory, completely destroying Hatar's brain, the king of [Hadratta] was drooling from the corner of his mouth, and the whole person fell off the throne limply, and soon disappeared.
The palace suddenly fell into a deathly silence, and no one could have imagined that the young wizard in front of him would dare to kill a king in public, and it was so easy, it was like pinching an ant to death.
Lynn looked at the corpse of the new king, and couldn't help but shake his head, if the other party is willing to accept the transformation, it may not be like someone, from a supreme king, emperor to a citizen, no, to be exact, it should be a rich businessman with endless savings!
However, judging from Khattar's temperament, this probability is really low......
Just as he was thinking, an inopportune voice suddenly came into his ears.
"Your Majesty Lynn!"
It was a shrewd minister of the kingdom who spoke, and after a brief moment of horror and shock, he quickly knelt down and shouted loudly.
"Uncrowned King of Hadratha, I offer you our heartfelt respect!"
Immediately afterwards, more than 100 ministers of the kingdom also came to their senses, and fell to their knees, either chanting in unison to celebrate the ascension of the new king to the throne, or actively expressing their firm positions, and even loudly rebuking the incompetent rule of the previous king Khattar......
In just over ten seconds, the palace hall, which was originally audible of falling pins, became very lively.
"What did you guys mistake?" Lynn's voice slowly sounded in the main hall, suppressing the noisy sycophants.
The ministers who fell to their knees looked at each other, not quite understanding the meaning of these words, could it be that the Wizards' Council was ready to support another obedient nobleman to come to power as before?
Just when some people's minds were active, Lynn's words came again.
"From today onwards, the kingdom of [Hadratta] will no longer need the so-called king!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked horrified, and they couldn't react for a long time, they couldn't understand what a kingdom without a king would be like, wouldn't everything be messed up?
"Lord Wizard, who will govern the kingdom from now on, and who will appoint it," said a minister of the kingdom, trembling slightly.
"From now on, all the great things of the kingdom will be voted on by the council!" Lynn replied casually. "As for the appointment of local managers...... Let's take the exam! ”
Although the examination selection system has been criticized in the previous life, it has to be said that it does provide a relatively fair way for the bottom to be promoted.
At least in this dark world, the examination selection system is enough to make it easy with light!
In the past, when the council conquered the southern and central regions of the kingdom, he had already begun to establish civilian schools, although he could not learn the reason in a year, but the grassroots administrators did not need to have much advanced knowledge, it was enough to be able to read and understand orders, and know how to deal with some daily affairs.
Combined with the small nobles who are willing to accept the transformation and embrace the new world, they can barely keep the kingdom running.
"I'll leave the rest to you, Lauder!"
The magic projection erected on the main hall of the palace left a command, and then dissipated in place.
Seeing the disappearance of the plague god who killed the king, the ministers of the kingdom who knelt on the ground in the main hall breathed a sigh of relief, but they soon realized that they were too happy too soon, and Lauder waved his hand, and the wolf-like musketeers immediately rushed forward and dragged them down.
According to the intelligence of the secret agents, many of these ministers were involved in the food war.
The very few ministers who were not arrested were also frightened to pee their pants, and they fell to the ground in horror and did not dare to speak, they all understood that from now on, the kingdom was going to change!
……
The massive debt collection campaign lasted a whole week before it was over, and countless nobles and wealthy businessmen were arrested, killed, or bankrupt.
The people of the kingdom applauded when they saw the mountains of grain that had been seized and piled up.
The high price of food in the past can be said to have put everyone in the fear of famine, not to mention the workshops and schools to provide them with three meals a day for free, but no one knows how long this situation will last, once the council stops the supply of three meals, with their savings, I am afraid that they will not be able to afford even a few bags of white bread.
In addition, there is another side of very shocking news, that is, the king of [Hadratta] Hatar suddenly died, which lasted for a hundred years, and the three generations of the Bazel family were extinct, and all the affairs of the kingdom in the future will be voted on by the parliament!
As for the reason for the king's sudden death, it is rumored to be related to the fugitive Grand Duke of Gard, who colluded with the church and some of the kingdom's nobles to provoke the kingdom's food crisis, and even assassinated the king, in a vain attempt to disrupt the entire kingdom and let the three million people return to the dark church rule!
