Chapter 296 Claims and Conspiracies
This volatility represents instability and may be broken at any time.
Anyone with a little experience could see that a few more attacks like this would completely break the protective shield. At that time, Feng Weiluo's dragon could then wash the ground with dragon flames from the air.
In addition, there were huge fire crows that looked like an army. Just from their momentum, it could be seen that they were all powerful monsters. There were so many of these monsters that once the magic shield was broken, the entire castle that had been passed down by the Enrest family for hundreds of years would be destroyed.
He who knows the times is a hero. The nobles are obviously very aware of the times. Marquis Enrest just wanted to talk to Feng Willow about the principles of nobility.
Unfortunately, Feng Willow was only willing to talk about his own reasoning. The bigger the fist, the more reasonable it is. Truth is only within the range of the cannon. Seeing that he could not reason with Feng Willow, he could not delay time any longer.
Compared to the castle that had been in the family for hundreds of years, compensating von Willow for his loss was a small loss.
"Duke Willow, I am willing to compensate for your losses, but please stop." Marquis Enrest 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 my people has been delayed for ten days. I won't blackmail you. In the next ten days, your Enrest 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 Enrest from a distance and asked.
Marquis Enlester's heart was bleeding. If his family had extra food, how could Feng Willow take in these refugees? He would have pulled these people into his territory long ago.
But now Feng Weiluo's army is outside the city. If he dares to say no, Feng Weiluo will dare to attack. What is a treaty under the city? It means that if someone attacks you at your doorstep, you have to agree to any conditions, otherwise they will attack you.
"Okay, our Enlester family will pay!" The Marquis felt that after he said this, his energy and spirit were gone. It was so painful.
"Okay, just admit it. Also, because of your obstruction, I dispatched three thousand Fire Crow soldiers. 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 came out and the cost is so huge. You have to compensate me for the military expenses of this dispatch." Feng Weiluo continued.
Marquis Enlester was about to spit out blood. You sent troops to attack me, and I have to pay for the military expenses? Did I ask you to send troops to attack me? What kind of bandit logic is this?
It's just that the situation is stronger than people! If he dares to refuse, Feng Willow will dare to break in. By then, the entire Enrest Castle and 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, not daring to say a word, fearing that if they said one more word, Feng Willow would make them pay together. That would be fatal.
Although they usually have a good relationship, it is better to let the Enrest family take on the responsibility at this time! Their small bodies cannot handle it.
Several nobles tacitly forgot what they had discussed before.
"How much?" Marquis Enrest asked, suppressing his anger. But everyone around him knew that when he asked this question, he had already tacitly agreed to pay.
Feng Willow thought about it. Although the Viking Empire was short of food after several years of war, as a large family with hundreds of years of inheritance, they certainly had no shortage of money. Of course, the so-called food shortage was just that the people under them would not have enough to eat. They just didn't have that much food in stock.
Von 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 that a lot?" Feng Willow said with a smile. Two hundred thousand gold coins was enough to make the Enrest family feel painful, but not enough to force them to fight to the death.
If he asked for too much at this time and forced them to death, it would give all the nobles the impression that Feng Willow was unreasonable, which would be bad for future reforms.
Von 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 cannot do without nobles.
Because most of the sequence inheritance is in the hands of the nobles, and all the nobles are sequencers. Those who cannot become sequencers cannot even inherit the title.
Even the most powerful army of a country is composed entirely of nobles. Feng Willow wanted to enrich the people and strengthen the country, but he only wanted the nobles to give up some of their interests, and he did not intend to completely eliminate the nobles.
Because in this world of unequal power, it is unrealistic to eliminate the nobles. Because the new sequencers will also become the new nobles.
The nobles became nobles because of their power. It must 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 absolutely impossible." Marquis Enrest stared at Feng Willow in the air with red eyes and roared angrily.
"You were the one who robbed me first. Either pay me back or die. It's your choice!" Feng Weiluo said with a cold face.
Marquis Enrest turned to look at the other nobles and the mediating envoy, but none of them dared to look at him, and they said nothing.
Marquis Enlester knew that no one could help him at this time. This feeling of losing more than you gain was too annoying.
But in the face of Feng Willow's powerful strength, he had no way to deal with it.
"Okay, I'll give it! But my family doesn't have that much money. Can you allow me to give you 50,000 gold coins first, and I can give you the rest slowly. You also know that the empire has been in war for so many years, and much of our family assets have been lost. If I hadn't been broke, I wouldn't want to collect tolls from the refugees." Marquis Enrest said crying poorly.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have cash. You can use other things to pay off the debt. I don't mind extraordinary resources or sequencer inheritance." Feng Willow said with a smile when he saw that Marquis Enrest had given in.
When Marquis Enrest saw that Feng Willow was not making sense, he turned to the other nobles and said, "Everyone, our family is in trouble now. I hope you can lend a helping hand and help us through this difficult time."
Marquis Enlester stared at his allies. The reason why he didn't tell others about what they were planning was 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 paid out. Feng Willow didn't care how much each of these nobles paid.
Anyway, as long as the money is in his hands in the end, it will be fine. He even knows that Marquis Enrest is just a pathfinder, a knife pushed out by those nobles.
But after all, those nobles did not take action, so he had no reason to cause trouble for them. However, this time he ignored the noble council and directly declared war on other nobles, which might cause some trouble.
After collecting 200,000 gold coins, Feng Weiluo did not stay any longer and directly returned to his territory with three thousand Fire Crow soldiers.
Now half of the luck of the Viking Empire has been consumed. Von Willow estimates that just one major earthquake is not enough. There will probably be other natural and man-made disasters. His territory is also part of the empire, so he also needs to be prepared.
"It's time to take advantage of the empire's weakness and propose reforms. Otherwise, I won't dare to practice again now." Feng Weiluo thought to himself.
It is not that the empire will collapse only after its luck is completely exhausted. When there is only 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 layers to be broken before it will collapse.
It is possible that only a few load-bearing walls will be broken and collapse will occur.
The current Viking Empire is in such a dangerous situation. If the Viking Empire weakens too much, all forces will come to make trouble and gain benefits.
"Saya, I need to go to the Viking capital, and the affairs of the territory are left to you. After Taris brings all the refugees back, you have to do a good job of resettling them." Von Willow instructed Saiya.
"Professor, you are not good at dealing with nobles. Why don't you take me with you? Tell me your purpose and I will help you. Maybe it will be much easier." Saiya looked at Feng Willow gently and said.
Feng Willow really likes to be straightforward when doing things. His powerful strength makes him disdain to beat around the bush. He has to admit that what Sai Ya said does make sense.
There were indeed many inconveniences in his dealings with the nobles. Simply being tough would not make all the nobles cooperate.
"If you go with me, what will happen to the territory? Not everyone has the ability to properly resettle hundreds of thousands of refugees." Feng Willow said worriedly.
"With Taris and the others' current marching speed, 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's not finished by then, we can rush back. Anyway, with Moril here, we have enough time to rush back." Saiya said indifferently.
"In that case, it will be too hard for you." Feng Weiluo stroked Saiya's face and said with heartache.
"I'm very happy to be able to help you! And these government affairs seem cumbersome, but I only need to focus on the main things, and let the people below do the rest. It's not that hard. It's not difficult for those who know how to do it." Saiya said with a smile.
Saiya handed over the matters at hand to the people below him and followed Feng Willow to the Viking capital.
At this time, the Viking capital was already in chaos, and the noble council was 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. In their opinion, the Enrest family had done nothing wrong. 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 Willo be punished, but as the emperor of the empire, he could not do so.
The Viking Empire does still have some foundation, and the royal ancestors have entered the stage of recovery. It won’t be long before they can fully recover.
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, von Willow was very clear about his strength. Once a war broke out, it would cause large-scale casualties among the people.
The speed of the gods' revival depends on the number of believers and the sincerity of their faith. In other words, the stronger the divine power gathered at this stage, the faster the gods' revival will be.
After several years of war, the Viking Empire's people are no match for the other three empires. Coupled with the natural disasters and man-made disasters over the past year, the empire's life has become increasingly difficult.
No matter from what angle, Kenlohag didn't 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 didn't want to take action.
He didn't dare to give Feng Willow even a symbolic punishment, because he didn't understand Feng Willow's temper and was afraid that a symbolic punishment would cause Feng Willow's disgust.
He now does 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 was just that Feng Willow's disobedience was a headache. Although he had been the emperor for a year, due to the natural disasters and man-made disasters in the past year, Kenlohag had not yet developed the habit of being the only one in charge.
"Grand Duke Willow rescued hundreds of thousands of refugees for the sake of national stability. At this time, the Enrest family still wants to hinder, take advantage, and make money from the national disaster. For this kind of behavior, they should be deprived of their territory and their titles should be abolished." Kenlohag said angrily.
"Your Majesty, no matter how wrong what Marquis Enrest did was, he should have reported it to the Parliament of Nobles for handling instead of declaring war privately. If all the nobles did this, wouldn't the country be in chaos?" Duke Bollag stood up and said.
As the Speaker of the Noble Council, although he did not agree with Marquis Enrest's approach and he knew von Willow's strength, he had to maintain the rules of the Imperial Noble Council.
"Then what does Duke Bolag think, how should this matter 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)
