I came to this world to enlighten the gods

Chapter 596
Li Qing's sudden departure shocked all the dryads in Oak City, and the patriarch, Earl Black, was ashamed and ashamed.

"Patriarch, the Pope is still waiting in the church for the king to inspect, this..." a tree spirit reminded in a low voice.

"Let him not wait"

Earl Black's pale face lacked any color, he raised his hand and lowered it slumpedly.

Finished!

It's all over!

The king became dissatisfied with the dryad, and even went out of the city directly, showing his anger towards the dryad.

He, the tree spirit's first nobleman in history, may soon become history.

What's more serious is the impact on the dryad family. Dryads without the protection of the kingdom have no chance of gaining a foothold.

"Your Earl, why worry, His Majesty the King won't do anything to you any longer." A soft voice sounded behind him.

Earl Black turned around and found that it was his friend level five druid Monica.

When Oak City was first built, Monica led the Druids and helped him a lot, so Monica was one of the very few human races in the city.

Monica came over to comfort him and said, "Your Majesty the King probably dislikes the dryad for not being able to donate gold coins to him, and that's why he's angry. Don't worry."

After hearing this, Blackton felt reasonable. All the other territories contributed taxes to the royal family, but Oak City had no income, and sometimes asked the royal family for money.

However, the dryads had no special skills, and the wheat they planted was only enough for the clan to eat, so they had no gold coins to pay taxes.

Thinking of His Majesty's anger, and the king's imminent revocation of his entrustment to the tree spirit family, he felt extremely terrified.

Monica touched Black's hand and said softly: "Don't worry, you are not wrong, even the king cannot cancel your fief, otherwise other nobles and the church will interfere."

"Really"

Earl Black was a little surprised. Everything about her was bestowed by the king. Could it be that the king can't cancel it?

"Of course it is true. The royal family and nobles in the foggy world have responsibilities and obligations. The king is just the biggest lord. If you have no particularly serious crimes, the king cannot take back the territory. To the children of the royal family to inherit the fief"

After listening to Monica's explanation, Blake finally breathed a sigh of relief, held Monica's hand tightly, and said emotionally, "Monica, you are so kind."

He decided to get engaged today, and to marry Monica in two days under the witness of the dryad.

After they left, two dryads walked out from the nearby grass and looked coldly at the two who left.

The king has noticed the weirdness of Oak City, and they should report everything here to the king.

They are tree spirits, but they also have another identity——Dongchang Fanzi!
On the empty road, there are huge olives planted on both sides, which is the characteristic of the Ming Kingdom. The olive oil that was originally expensive as gold, because of the special existence of the Ming Kingdom, even ordinary free people can eat olive oil.

Two thousand knights ran on the road, setting off waves of dust and smoke. The army traveled hundreds of miles, and the lords fought like walking on thin ice along the way.

More than ten miles ahead, they entered Earl Andre's territory, and the army finally slowed down, allowing the knights to rest for a while.

Taking advantage of the break, Kerry finally asked the doubts that had been lingering in his heart for a long time.

"Your Majesty, even if you were too angry at that time, there was no need to leave directly. After all, the other party is the head of the clan, and he is also a real earl. In face of the other party..."

Sitting on the horse, Li Qing slowly stepped forward, and said casually, "The city of the dryads is not that simple. Do you think it's just the simplicity of the dryads? It's obvious that they were deliberately guided."

"The Earl of Berkeley"

Kerry reacted instantly, and blurted out the name Berkeley, feeling cold all over his body.

The tree spirit family was supported by the royal family, and it stands to reason that they should be absolutely loyal to the royal family. If they were not found, they were controlled by the Earl of Berkeley.

He said with a gloomy face: "If this is the case, wouldn't the tree spirits and the tree people be all under the control of the other party?"

This thought made him even more horrified, until now he discovered that the southern part of the kingdom had been secretly controlled by the Earl of Berkeley.

He also understood the doubts in his heart all the time, why His Majesty has been reluctant to take action against Earl Berkeley, and the scope of involvement is getting wider and wider.

"Things are more serious than you think"

Li Qing sneered slightly, pointed to the south and said: "A hundred miles to the south is the sea. Earl Andre has always wanted to replace Earl Berkeley's trade with overseas countries, so he built a new city here. You said that if a group of people suddenly appeared here Pirates, what do you think?"
"pirate"

Kerry instinctively reacted, the knight's spear appeared in his hand, his eyes lit up, and he tried to look south, and he saw a black shadow approaching.

"Enemy attack, prepare for battle"

With a roar, he commanded the knights to form a defensive formation, while he himself rode to the front, waiting for the pirates to approach.

In order to develop maritime trade, Earl Andrei specially expanded a small river into a large river enough for ships to travel together, which in turn made it more convenient for pirates.

As the ships got closer, Kerry finally discovered the situation ahead. These were three medium-sized pirate ships, which were the limit of what the river could pass through.

"The Nanlin team will deal with the ships at the front, the natural team will deal with the rear, the Royal Knights will follow me to attack the flagship in the middle, and the mages will attack at will."

Although the three pirate ships could not pose a threat to them, he still adopted the safest tactics for the safety of the king.

It shows that the mages of the mage bombed and broke the fixed defensive spells on the pirate ship, then the long-range archers attacked, and finally the knights boarded the ship.

In just half an hour, the Knights occupied three pirate ships and were collecting hidden pirates.

"So weak, how dare you attack the Knights?"

Knight Kerry couldn't laugh or cry. He thought there would be a big battle, but he didn't expect the opponent to be unable to accept even one round of attacks.

It's ridiculous.

"I've said it a long time ago, don't just look at things on the surface. I was attacked by pirates, and it was in Count Andre's territory. Do you think Count Andre can get away with it? Do you think other nobles will believe it?"

Kerry was stunned, and his face turned pale. They were attacked in Count Andre's territory. No matter what the truth was, Count Andre could not escape the blame.

In the current tense atmosphere, it is really hard to say what Count Andre would think.

After he figured it out, he smiled bitterly and said, "Indeed, the truth is not important anymore." Then he stabilized his spirit and continued to ask, "What should we do next, should we continue to move forward or return to the royal city immediately?"

At present, neither option is a good choice. Returning to the royal city will show suspicion of Earl Andre, and continuing to see Earl Andre will probably make the other party take risks, and the two sides will fight each other.

According to his understanding of His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely choose to face the difficulties and continue to see Count Andre.

To his surprise, Li Qing refused!

"Return to Spring City"

Li Qing said coldly, turned his horse's head and went back, making Kerry confused.
