Chapter 8 Queen and Noble

In a blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

In half a month, a steady stream of chariots and horses and servants came to the witch hunting sect to help.

With the help of Barbara and other warlocks, rebuild Fort Kyle.

If it were usual, it would take several months to build such a fortress, but with the help of the warlock, the time spent greatly reduced.

In the past half month, the frame of the main fort has been rebuilt, just to add details.

The servants also rebuilt the city walls and thoughtfully added four heavy crossbow machines to the church and the city walls;

This heavy equipment that can fire more than ten crossbow arrows at the same time was originally owned by the national army, but Queen Maeve gave four precious heavy crossbow machines to the witch hunting corps to express her feelings.

Dick also privately discussed with West and Barbara about the leak of the Order's position. West ensured that all the craftsmen from these came to serve the royal family in the past and were very tight-minded.

It also suggested that if Dick feels unsafe, he can completely repair the main castle in a few months.

Speaking of this, West's left hand was more than a throat cut position on his neck.

Dick also knew that although West was polite in front of him, he was also a cold-blooded person... and a person who did big things, but he still refused without hesitation.

Since Brownie's army can find this, it means that the actual coordinates of this place have been leaked.

Only by enhancing one's own strength and preventing the fall of the wall of the Xiao Wall is the most important way to ensure the development of the sect.

And the others are all virtual styles.

If these craftsmen are really killed, the conflict between the witch hunters and the nobles and the people will be even more intensified.

After all, they will continue to take root in the northern border in the future.

But Dick also had some plans in his mind, and then he returned to Raven City, and some people had to have a good talk.

As for the possible consequences, just inform the people in Kelberg in advance and let them move to other countries on the Panda continent.

Liberty City seems to be a good place.

Dick also learned from Barbara about the noble houses that participated in the attack on Kyle Fort this time that Queen Maeve had punished all the little nobles after returning to Crow City in the past few days:

It may be the suicide squad when fighting against the barbarian army of bloodthirsty next time; or it may be directly sent to Shizhuwan Silver Mine and become a miner for the rest of his life.

This hatred with the little nobles is enough.

On that morning, Dick, Weir and Ajie bid farewell to everyone and started returning to Crow City with Barbara.

They decided to join the army with Queen Maeve and head to fight against the enemy near Xiaolu City.

Because there were traces of the bloodthirsty army near Xiaolu City, and Fei Ge kept sending letters in recent days, I also learned that Odinburgh had been captured by the bloodthirsty army.

Fortunately, Baron Odin III responded in time and moved all the residents the day before. After 2 days, he basically brought all these residents to Xiaolu City, which was considered to have avoided a tragedy.

In other words, except for Fisher and other officers and soldiers, even the Anson family and the barbarian girl Pipi all survived.

When Dick heard the news, he thought to himself:

I changed their destiny before, and this time these people are also working hard, but they actually know that they run away early and are much smarter.

Odin III seemed to be no longer so pedantic and would not hold his castle after Odin surrendered to the enemy.

This is a good thing. Although Odin III is in his 50s, this old Diudou has become much more mature.

...

Crow City, in the palace.

The afterglow of the setting sun pours into the skylight, and the light columns float with golden dust, which also sprinkles at the end of the long table.

The head of the North, Queen Maeve, did not sit on the chair, but instead rhythmically hit the copper beast's handrail with her finger bones, and the echo of the guillotine slowly rose;

He leaned forward and glanced at everyone around the long table. His shadow was stretched out to an exaggerated length, blocking all the nobles.

Wherever their eyes were, these aristocrats who were arrogant in the past were like sheep who saw a tiger, with their heads slightly lowered and each sitting upright.

What's more, cold sweat has soaked the silk collar without knowing it.

Earl Avalon's emerald ring chuckled on the trembling knuckles, making it particularly clear in the dead hall.

The Chancellor's thoughts drifted to thirty years ago:

It seemed that at that time, before the exterminated the nobles, the former king would strike out the rhythm of death like the queen in front of him.

The knight in full blue armor behind the queen still stood still, like a cold stone sculpture in the cold wind.

Fortunately, the queen sat down slowly.

At this time, the nobles let out a long sigh of relief.

But Queen Maeve slapped the handrail again, and her voice was extremely loud: "Let me hear it! This time, don't think I don't know what you are doing!

"On the open and secret, how many people are involved in it besides the ones I caught? You just want to get rid of a great help around me!"

"Now the murderer has captured Odinburgh. Fortunately, Baron Odin III is quick to react and moved all the residents to Xiaolu City in time, so that the tragedy did not happen.

"If it weren't for the full effort to deal with the killer army, some of you would have gone to Shizhuwan to dig silver mines."

The nobles bowed their heads one after another, not daring to look directly at the queen's gaze, and some even trembled slightly.

Queen Maeve stood up and paced back and forth:

“I have been vigorously promoting [hunting rights] and [subject identity] in the past two years.

The hunting rights allow people to obtain food in the mountains and forests, sell excess fur and meat to subsidize their household income.

This not only allows people to have an additional source of food when the harvest is bad, but also promotes private trade;

The identity of subjects allows the people to participate in the defense and management of towns, enhance their sense of belonging, and make them no longer feel that they are just the object of rule, but the real master of this land.

In this way, local cohesion will be improved and our defense power in the north will be enhanced.

I promote these to make the northern border more prosperous and prosperous!

But what about you, you only stare at the little bit of profit in front of you, always force the people step by step, but you don’t know that what you do is hurting the root of the northern border!

Now I think I can lose my help by eliminating the witch hunting sect, so I am distracted from stopping the promotion of these two policies. It’s extremely stupid! ”

The sound of begging echoed in the hall, and the velvet cuffs kept wiping the shiny forehead.

"Hmph! I know you're scared now? It's too late! I will continue to promote the hunting power and subject status. This is for the people of the North and the future of this land!"

Earl Avalon said, his voice was almost unheard: "Queen, we are just worried that these policies will... affect our interests. In fact, we have no intention of harming the witch hunter corps."

Queen Maeve suddenly grabbed the noble's mink-haired scarf, and the firelight of the fireplace jumped in her pupils:

"Purpose? You just think about your own little selfish interests!

The prosperity of the people and the stability of the northern border are the guarantee of your long-term interests.

For your selfish desires, the Demon Hunter Cult almost destroyed the stability of the North!

The cold wind in the north is not waiting for anyone. If you have this kind of mind in the future and dare to tamper with the Demon Hunting Cult... I remember that the new silver mine in Shidiaowan still needs many miners. ”

Queen Maeve sat back on her seat, closed her eyes, and the shadows reflected by the afterglow buried half of her face:

"Get back and reflect on yourself. When you meet with Dick and his group, there is still a tough battle to fight in the north."

"Affect the order."
