Chapter 296 Claims and Conspiracies

This kind of fluctuation represents instability and may be broken at any time.

Anyone with a little experience can see that such an attack will completely break the protective shield with a few more hits. At that time, Feng Willow's dragon can wash the ground with dragon flames from the air.

In addition, the huge fire crows that look like an army can be seen from the momentum alone that they are all powerful monsters. There are many such monsters. Once the magic protective shield is broken, I am afraid that the entire castle that has been passed down by the Enlester family for hundreds of years will be destroyed.

Those who know the times are heroes. The nobles are obviously very sensible. Marquis Enlester just wanted to talk to Feng Willow about the nobles' principles.

Unfortunately, Feng Willow is only willing to talk about his own principles. The bigger the fist, the more truth there is. The truth is only within the range of the cannon. Seeing that he can't reason with Feng Willow, he can't delay time any longer.

Compared with the castle that has been passed down for hundreds of years in the family, compensating Feng Willow's losses is a small loss.

"Duke Willow, I am willing to compensate you for your losses, please stop." Marquis Enlester shouted loudly, fearing that if he spoke too slowly, Feng Willow's monster army outside the city would rush into the city.

"Because of your obstruction, the migration of hundreds of thousands of people has been delayed for ten days. I will not blackmail you. In the next ten days, your Enlester family will be responsible for the food supply of the army. Can you do it?" Feng Willow held a wine glass in one hand and a dragon spear in the other, pointing at Marquis Enlester from a distance and questioned.

Marquis Enlester's heart was bleeding. If his family had extra food, how could Feng Willow take over these refugees? He had already pulled these people into his territory.

But now Feng Willow's army is outside the city. If he dares to say no, Feng Willow will dare to break in. What is a city alliance? It means that if someone beats you to your doorstep, you have to agree to any conditions, otherwise they will break in.

"Okay, our Enlester family will pay!" The Marquis felt that after he said this, his spirit was gone. It was so painful.

"Okay, just admit it. Because of your obstruction, I dispatched 3,000 Fire Crows. As a noble, you also know that the cost of a large army is not a small amount of money. Because of you, my army will come out. The cost is so large, you have to compensate me for the military expenses of this time." Feng Willow continued.

The Marquis of Enlester wanted to spit out blood. You sent troops to fight me, and I have to pay for the military expenses? Did I ask you to send troops to fight me? What kind of bandit logic is this?

It's just that the situation is stronger than people now! If he dares to refuse, Feng Willow will dare to break in. At that time, the entire Enlester Castle, the wealth inherited by the family for hundreds of years, will all belong to the surname Feng.

The other nobles who had a good relationship with Marquis Enrest and wanted to join forces to make a fortune from Feng Willow were watching with sympathy at this time. They didn't dare to say a word, for fear that Feng Willow would ask them to pay together. That would be fatal.

Although everyone had a good relationship on weekdays, it was better to let the Enrest family take the blame than to let their friends die. They couldn't bear it.

The nobles forgot what they had discussed before.

"How much?" Marquis Enrest asked, suppressing his anger. But everyone around knew that when he asked this question, he had already acquiesced and would pay.

Feng Willow thought about it. Although the Viking Empire was short of food after several years of war, as a large family with a history of hundreds of years, they certainly had no shortage of money. Of course, the so-called shortage of food was just that the people below would not be able to eat enough. They just didn't have that much food in stock.

Feng Willow believed that if the nobles really took out all the food, it would be enough for the entire Viking Empire to use for two or three years.

"Two hundred thousand gold coins in compensation, isn't it too much?" Feng Willow said with a smile. Two hundred thousand gold coins are enough to make the Enrest family feel painful, but not enough to force them to fight to the death.

If they ask for too much at this time and force them to death, it will give all the nobles an impression that Feng Willow is unreasonable. It is not good for future reforms.

Feng Willow's goal is to make the Viking Empire stronger. It must be said that in this world, if you want to make a country strong, you can't do without nobles.

Because most of the sequence inheritance is in the hands of the nobles, and the nobles are all sequencers. Those who can't become sequencers can't even inherit the title.

Including the most powerful army of a country, it is all composed of nobles. Feng Willow wants to enrich the people and strengthen the country, but he only wants the nobles to give up some of their interests, and he doesn't have the idea of ​​completely eliminating the nobles.

Because in this world of unequal power, it is unrealistic to eliminate the nobles. Because the new sequencers will also become new nobles.

Nobles become nobles because of their power. It has to be admitted that they who possess extraordinary power are the main body of a country.

"Two hundred thousand gold coins? You are robbing! This is impossible." Marquis Enlester stared at Feng Weiluo in the air with red eyes and roared angrily.

"You robbed me first, either pay or die, your choice!" Feng Weiluo said with a cold face.

Marquis Enlester turned his head to look at other nobles and the mediating envoy. But now none of these people dared to look at him, let alone say a word.

Marquis Enlester knew that no one could help him at this time. This feeling of stealing a chicken and losing a rice is too annoying.

But in front of Feng Weiluo's powerful strength, he had no way.

"Okay, I'll give it! But my family doesn't have that much money. Can I give 50,000 gold coins first, and the rest will be given slowly. You also know that the empire has been in war for so many years, and many family assets have been spent. If it weren't for the fact that I really have no money, I wouldn't want to collect tolls from those refugees." Marquis Enlester said crying poor.

"It doesn't matter if there is no cash, you can use other things to pay the bill. I don't mind extraordinary resources and sequencer inheritance." Feng Weiluo saw that Marquis Enlester had given in, and immediately said with a smile.

Seeing that Feng Willow was not making sense, Marquis Enlester turned to the other nobles and said, "Everyone, our family is in trouble now. I hope you can lend a helping hand to help us overcome the difficulties."

Marquis Enlester stared at his allies. The reason why he did not tell others about what they had planned together was not to let these families share some of the burden with him at this time?

These nobles also knew what he meant, and they gritted their teeth and took out money one by one. Feng Willow did not care how much money each of these nobles paid.

In the end, it was fine as long as the money was in his hands. He even knew that Marquis Enlester was just a pathfinder, and the nobles pushed out the knife.

But after all, those nobles did not make a move, and he had no reason to find trouble with those nobles. However, this time he ignored the noble council and directly declared war on other nobles, I am afraid there will be some trouble.

After collecting 200,000 gold coins, Feng Willow did not stay any longer and directly returned to his territory with 3,000 Fire Crows.

Now the luck of the Viking Empire has been consumed by half. Just one big earthquake is not enough for Feng Willow. There should be other natural and man-made disasters. His territory is also part of the empire, and he needs to be prepared.

"It's time to take advantage of the weakness of the empire this time to propose reforms. Otherwise, I dare not practice again now." Feng Willow thought in his heart.

It is not that the empire will collapse only after the luck of the empire is completely consumed. When there is still a small part left, the empire will be shaky and may collapse at any time. Just like a building, it does not need all the bottom floors to be broken before it collapses.

It is possible that only a few load-bearing walls will be broken before it collapses.

The current Viking Empire is in such a dangerous situation. And if the Viking Empire is too weak, it will be pushed by everyone, and all kinds of forces will come to make trouble and gain benefits.

"Saya, I need to go to the Viking capital. The affairs of the territory will be handed over to you. After Taris brings all the refugees back, you must do a good job of resettlement." Feng Willow instructed Saiya.

"Professor, you are not good at dealing with nobles. Otherwise, take me with you. Tell me your purpose and I will help you. Maybe it will be much easier." Sai Ya looked at Feng Wei Luo gently and said.

Feng Wei Luo really likes to be straightforward when doing things. His powerful strength makes him disdain to beat around the bush. I have to admit that what Sai Ya said is indeed reasonable.

There are indeed many inconveniences in dealing with those nobles. Blindly being tough can't make all the nobles cooperate.

"If you go with me, what will happen to the territory? Not everyone has the ability to properly settle hundreds of thousands of refugees." Feng Wei Luo said worriedly.

"With the current marching speed of Taris and others, it will take more than half a month to return to our territory even if everything goes well. Go and deal with what you want to do first. If it is not done by then, we will rush back. Anyway, with Moril here, we have enough time to rush back." Sai Ya said indifferently.

"In this case, it will be too hard for you." Feng Wei Luo stroked Sai Ya's face and said distressedly.

"I'm very happy to be able to help you! And these government affairs seem cumbersome, but I only need to grasp the main things, and let the people below do the rest. It's not that hard. It's not difficult for those who know." Saiya said with a smile.

Saiya handed the matters at hand to the people below, and followed Feng Willow to the Viking capital.

At this time, the Viking capital was already in a commotion, and the nobles in the council were clamoring for the empire to punish Feng Willow. Because Feng Willow could ignore the imperial noble council and take action against the Enrest family, he could also declare war on other nobles for other reasons.

Feng Willow's declaration of war was a threat to everyone. And in their view, the Enrest family did nothing wrong at all, and the nobles had the right to collect taxes in their own territories.

Kenlohag was also having a headache at the moment. The nobles below all demanded that Feng Willow be punished, but as the emperor of the empire, he could not do so.

The Viking Empire does have a foundation, and the ancestors of the royal family have entered the stage of recovery. It won't take long for it to be completely recovered.

As long as the gods are revived, their Viking Empire can return to its peak. But they need to wait until their own gods are revived. If they use their resources to deal with Feng Willow, the strength of the empire will be greatly reduced. What if the empire encounters any danger?

As the emperor of the Viking Empire, he was very clear about the strength of Feng Willow. Once a war broke out, it would cause large-scale casualties.

The speed of the gods' revival depends on the number of believers and whether their faith is pious. In other words, the stronger the divine power gathered at this stage, the faster the gods will revive.

And now that the Viking Empire has experienced several years of war, the people are no match for the other three empires. Coupled with the natural disasters and man-made disasters over the past year, the days of the empire have become increasingly difficult.

No matter what angle, Kenlohag did not want to conflict with Feng Willow at this moment. Even if Feng Willow was a little arrogant and ignored the rules of the Imperial Noble Council, he still did not want to take action.

Even if it was a symbolic punishment, he did not dare to give it to Feng Willow. Because he did not understand Feng Willow's temper, he was afraid that a symbolic punishment would also arouse Feng Willow's disgust.

He did not regret inviting Feng Willow to come and deal with Korg together. After all, if Feng Willow had not taken action, he would have been beaten to death by Korg.

It's just that Feng Willow's disobedience is a headache. Although he has been the emperor for a year, Kenlohag has not yet developed the habit of being the only one because of the natural disasters and man-made disasters in the past year.

"Grand Duke Willow rescued hundreds of thousands of refugees for the stability of the country. At this time, the Enlester family still wants to pull their legs, take advantage, and make money from the national disaster. This kind of behavior should be deprived of territory and abolished. "Kenlohag said angrily.

"Your Majesty, even if Marquis Enlester did something wrong, he should report it to the Noble Council for handling, instead of declaring war privately. If the nobles do this, then the country will be in chaos?" Duke Bolag stood up and said.

As the speaker of the Noble Council, although he did not agree with Marquis Enlester's approach, he also knew Feng Willow's strength, but he had to maintain the rules of the Imperial Noble Council.

"Then how does Duke Bolag think this matter should be handled?" Kenlohag asked back.

"Well... I think we should first summon Duke Willow to the capital to question him. We can't just ignore it and treat the laws of the empire as nothing." (End of this chapter)
