The left path sequence starts with the animal tamer

"My Lord Marquis, do you think that the Grand Duke will surrender?" said the middle-aged fat man dressed in aristocratic clothes with a smile and compliments.

This is a small meeting room. Sitting here are the great nobles of the Viking Empire. The lowest title is an earl. Their territories are all on the road between the refugees and the three border counties.

If the Enlester family can get the toll this time, then they can naturally follow behind and take a ride. So these people are naturally willing to support Marquis Enlester.

"Yes, I will. Nobles have their own way of playing. Although Feng Willow is a grand duke, he is also a noble after all. In order to integrate into the nobility of our Viking Empire, spending some money is like the entry fee for him.

And no matter what method he uses, as long as we delay a little, the money he spends will be much more than the toll he pays us.

No matter from which angle, he will agree to give us this toll. But in the future, the Grand Duke may bear a grudge against him. After all, he is the most powerful person in the empire. You should think carefully about being hated by such a person for such money.

If I hadn't consumed too much of my family's wealth due to the two wars and now there was a shortage of food in the territory, I wouldn't have offended a strong man like Feng Willow by publishing this book." Marquis Leinster persuaded with a smile.

"My Lord Marquis, who is wrong? If the family had not encountered difficulties, we would not want to offend a strong man and noble like Grand Duke Feng Weiluo. Isn't there a way?
But after this time, we can invite him to a few more banquets to help him integrate into the nobles of our Viking Empire. This should be able to resolve these minor conflicts.

After all, at this time, there is still extra food and gold coins to support the refugees, which shows that the Grand Duke of Von Willow has a rich family background. Now that we are in trouble, he should pay some of the tolls that he should have paid.

Besides, it is reasonable and legal for us to formulate tax policies in our own territory." The middle-aged fat man who spoke first said with a smile.

"Of course. Even His Majesty the Emperor can't say anything if the nobles collect taxes on their own territories!" Another noble nodded righteously.

The methods used by these people were indeed reasonable and legal, but what they did could indeed be called taking advantage of someone's misfortune. In order to prevent Feng Willow from retaliating, these nobles spontaneously united to reap an unexpected fortune from Feng Willow.

It was hard to say whether these nobles pushed Marquis Enrest out as a knife, or Marquis Enrest pulled them together to harvest Feng Willow. Anyway, this group of people hit it off immediately.

"Report! Master, something bad has happened. Grand Duke von Willow of the three border counties has sent a declaration of war. The three border counties have declared war on our Enlester family." The butler of the Marquis's Mansion, a thin old man with a pale face, trotted in to report.

"What? Is he crazy? He rashly declares war on our Enrest family without the consent of the Noble Council? He is ignoring the laws of the empire and the Imperial Noble Council." Marquis Enrest, who had been smiling just now, turned pale at this moment, but he was still shouting stubbornly.

It's not that he is timid, but Feng Willow's reputation is too bad. There are news about him directly unleashing plague to massacre the city. Not to mention the rumors, as great nobles, they know a lot of accurate information.

Once Feng Willow really declared war on them, he only needed a plague secret technique to cause heavy losses to their territory. It was different from ordinary wars. Plague was something that could kill nobles or civilians. Once Feng Willow released the plague in their territory, they and their families would be in danger of their lives. That was simply an unbearable burden for them.

"Everyone, that bastard Feng Willow has declared war on our Enrest family. What do you think?" Marquis Enrest looked at the allies who had just been boasting.

"My Lord Marquis, we definitely support you. Feng Willow has been too unruly this time. He has declared war on you without the recognition of the Noble Council. We will definitely stand with you and urge the Noble Council to take action as soon as possible." The middle-aged fat man said righteously.

The words sounded nice, and seemed to be on the side of the Enrest Family, but this was not what the current Marquis wanted to hear. Instead, he hoped that they would stand up firmly and send troops to join the Enrest Family in resisting Feng Willow's declaration of war.

Unfortunately, no one picked up the topic. The topic just fell to the ground and broke into pieces! ~
Everyone present heard the sound of the shattering. What was shattered was not only the conversation, but also the offensive and defensive alliance they had just formed.

Although Marquis Enrest was extremely angry, he did not dare to offend all the nobles around him at this time.

Although these people were unreliable at critical moments and would not send troops to help him, at least, they were on his side morally and were willing to help him argue in the noble council and the court. Even verbal support was invaluable in this crisis.

Feng Willow naturally didn't know about the dirty tricks among these nobles. He took the Fire Crow Pot and rode Moril to the Enrest family.

This was a good opportunity for him to test the Fire Crow Pot he had just successfully refined. He always wanted to test the power of a new toy, but it was a pity that it was too powerful and it was not convenient to test it at home.

Since the Enrest family jumped out, Feng Willow was happy to use them as an example to scare the monkeys.

"Willow, I'm glad you're here. We've been delayed for six days and they just won't let us pass. I understand that there is a gate tax for entering the city, but I've never heard that they charge money for passing through the territory. This is simply too much!" When Taris saw Feng Willow, she was like a wronged child. She angrily told Feng Willow about how much pressure she had been under recently.

Taris now had a real responsibility on his shoulders. As soon as he opened his eyes, he would see hundreds of thousands or even millions of mouths waiting to be fed. According to the current situation, if he continued to eat for a few days, the food in the camp would not be enough.

"I have declared war on the Enrest family. I will defeat them in this battle and let everyone in the Viking Empire know that their rules have no effect on me!" Feng Willow said angrily.

Feng Willow rode on Morrill and came to the checkpoint set up by the Enrest family in a majestic manner. Morrill then sprayed a breath of dragon fire over.

The entire level was burned to ashes in the raging fire.

Feng Willow took out the Fire Crow Pot and threw it into the air. The Fire Crow Pot swelled in the wind and fire crows flew out from the mouth of the pot.

Three thousand fire crows filled the entire sky, like a burning cloud.

What blocked the refugees was just a small checkpoint that was temporarily set up, not the main area of ​​the Enrest family's territory.

"Take the refugees and march to our territory immediately. No matter who blocks your way, don't hesitate, just take action." Feng Willow said to Taris. With someone to make the decision for her, Taris's tone became firm: "Okay, I won't let you down."

With hundreds of thousands of refugees and thousands of musketeers from the three border counties, the large army began to move slowly again.

Feng Willow led three thousand fire crows to Enleister Castle, the core city of the Enleister family's territory. If you hit someone, you have to hit him hard. If it doesn't hurt and you let it go, they won't learn their lesson next time.

Feng Willow also intended to establish his authority and prepare for the next national policy reform. He is still the national teacher of the Viking Empire. Now the luck of the Viking Empire has been reduced by half, which is not enough for him to practice.

If he wants to make the Viking Empire stronger, he must reform, and reform involves the distribution of interests. Now most of the country's interests are in the hands of the nobles, and reform will inevitably affect their interests.

And von Willow must subdue these nobles in order to implement the reforms and make the Viking Empire strong.

"What is that? Is it a sunset cloud?" The guards of Enrest Castle saw from afar a large and conspicuous red area flying towards them quickly, and said to their companions with a smile.

Even as the guard was speaking, a large flame-like object far away in the sky was rapidly approaching them.

"Oh no, it could be some monster, sound the alarm." In the past year, in addition to natural disasters and man-made disasters, monsters from the spirit world have also frequently appeared in the Viking Empire, making the guards in various places more alert.

As the alarm bell rang, the guards of Enrest Castle quickly gathered on the city wall, and saw a large area of ​​burning flames in the sky. And in the front was a giant dragon.

"Giant dragon?" The guard general wanted to say something when Morrill blew out a mouthful of dragon fire, covering the entire area above the city gate.

Dozens of guards standing on the city wall turned to ashes before they could even utter a scream.

However, Enrest Castle is indeed extraordinary. It should be built with some anti-magic materials. Even facing the impact of Morrill's dragon flame, it still did not collapse.

Immediately afterwards, a layer of magic shield lit up above the city wall. Obviously, there was a protective magic circle in the city. Unlike the New World, which had been developed for a short time and was only for plundering resources, the nobles would not spend a lot of money to build a protective magic circle for the castle.

The situation in the homelands of the four empires is different. This is the home nest of many nobles. The great nobles have a long history, so they will naturally do their best to make their home nests as safe as possible, and they will not be stingy in this regard.

"Grand Duke Willow, stop it now. Let's talk it over nicely. If there are conflicts between nobles, they can be resolved through the Noble Parliament. If everyone declares war directly, won't the country be in chaos?" A man dressed in aristocratic clothes shouted loudly to Feng Willow in the sky.

"Who are you?" Feng Willow asked.

"Grand Duke Willow, I am Juarez, the envoy sent by His Majesty to mediate. We can discuss it, and please do not take any action." Juarez said with a smile on his face.

"Why did you come so quickly?" Feng Willow intended to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys and establish his authority. From the declaration of war to the start of the war, it took only two days. He was afraid that the empire would intervene. Once the Viking Empire intervened, he would no longer be able to deal with the Enrest family harshly.

"When His Majesty heard that the Enrest family was collecting tolls, he sent me out to mediate. He was afraid that you, the Grand Duke, did not understand some of the rules of the Viking Empire.

If there are conflicts between nobles, we will mediate through the Noble Council, and your Majesty will make the decision. "Juarez said with a smile.

"Marquis Enlester robbed me on the road and wasted a lot of my food. As long as they are willing to compensate me, I can forgive them. If they don't compensate, it doesn't matter who mediates." Feng Willow said firmly. Put the blame on the other party first.

"Grand Duke Willow, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. It's not highway robbery, it's a transit fee. Nobles have the right to legislate in their own territories. This transit fee is one of the laws of our Enrest territory. It's reasonable and legal!" There were several people dressed as nobles around Juarez who also said with a smile.

"Grand Duke, this really can't be considered robbery. So, there is a misunderstanding here. Can we all sit down and talk calmly?" Juarez said politely.

Feng Willow knew that if he followed the rules of the nobles, he would fall into the rhythm of the other party. The nobles of the Viking Empire would definitely stand on the other side. Once the damn noble parliament intervened, he would fall into a dilemma, which would be disadvantageous to him.

"I don't care what the reason is. Now that I have suffered losses, someone must compensate me. If the Enrest family refuses to compensate, whoever persuades them will do so. Can you make a decision on compensation on behalf of His Majesty? If not, get out of the way." Feng Willow said firmly.

Juarez's face turned green at that moment. As the emperor's envoy, it was the first time he encountered someone who did not play by the rules and did not give the emperor face. Of course, he had no right to decide on compensation.

Feng Willow looked at the other nobles who were trying to persuade him: "Will you compensate me for my losses?"

These nobles were afraid of being targeted by Feng Willow, so they quickly shook their heads.

"Since you are unwilling to compensate me for my losses, then get out of here. Someone must compensate me for my losses. If the Enrest Family doesn't compensate, then you will. I will ask anyone who persuades me to do so to compensate me.

I don’t want to persuade him anymore, so I’ll just hide aside and watch. Anyone who dares to stop me is my enemy. ” Feng Weiluo said forcefully.

"Attack!" Feng Weiluo gave an order, and the three thousand fire crows behind him formed a fire crow formation. The power of the three thousand fire crows linked to each other to form a whole.

A golden flame shot out from the Fire Crow Array. "Bang!" The Enrest Family's defensive magic array suddenly fluctuated violently. (End of this chapter)
