Blessed by abundance, be a Terran curse

Shandel felt that she had to support her family's business no matter what, otherwise her noble status would be in vain.

If you don’t take it and I don’t take it, when will Commissioner Smith get rich?

Working near the border in this era, it was common to smuggle goods to make a little extra money, as long as the inspection was thorough and no big noise was made.

Besides, Shandel is just an acting duke and is not very professional at all. If it weren't for his father's recent rheumatism that has caused him so much pain that he can't get out of bed.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be her turn to use chicken feathers as a token of authority. As for the family motto...

The family motto only talks about defending the country, but does not say that one cannot abuse power for personal gain.

For example, a few years ago when I was still a policeman, I caught a handsome young man acting suspiciously on the street.

At that time, the guy only took out a gold coin and wanted to let himself turn a blind eye.

The reason why Shandel refused to accept it was not because she was fair, but because she thought one gold coin was too little.

If that guy took out ten or even a hundred gold coins, she would shamelessly accept the money even if there were people watching.

Are you kidding! I'm a nobleman, so what's wrong with accepting gifts from friends?

It’s a pity that the guy who claimed to be from Sargon had no desire to make progress at all.

"finally come."

After waiting for a long time, just when Shandel thought she was stood up, a rumbling mechanical sound suddenly sounded in the distance.

I saw a huge steel machine rushing straight towards the border. The unprecedented steel behemoth scared the garrison troops present.

Fortunately, Shandel was mentally prepared and immediately calmed his soldiers down.

"So we're acquaintances. Long time no see. You've really become successful."

"Ms. Shandel... you actually became a duke. Is that so impressive?"

Huang Cao stood on the high-speed battleship, staring at the tall girl in front of him.

Wow, after not seeing him for a few years, the handsome sheriff has become a duke.

This promotion speed is too fast.

"I only entrusted my father's blessing to manage it. I didn't expect you to actually have business dealings with my family. Moreover, this giant doesn't look cheap at all. You actually persuaded dozens of nobles to invest in it."

"By the way, what is this thing used for?"

Shandel tapped the hull of the high-speed battleship with her cane and asked curiously.

"It's for farming. You know about the strange soil that's appeared in Victoria recently. Now every noble wants to renovate their estate, so they ordered this big machine from other countries."

The reason Huang Cao gave was flawless, and he also explained the professional division of labor among the 100 people on his ship.

After all, machines always require people to operate, so it is reasonable to install some training personnel on the tillage machine.

Fortunately, the simple-minded Shandel did not notice the gun barrel hidden on the high-speed battleship, but she did not let it go immediately. Instead, she stretched out her hand with a cunning look on her face.

The meaning is self-evident, it's time to pay the bribe.

Huang Cao was a little surprised, and at the same time sighed that it turned out that wealth really could corrode people's will.

In the past, this girl was unwilling to accept even a single gold coin.

"When you were a sheriff in Victoria, you refused to accept a single gold coin. How come now..."

Shandel rolled her eyes and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Because you only gave me one gold coin a few years ago, if you had given me more then maybe I would have accepted it."

It turned out that the money was not enough... Huang Cao speechlessly took out a thousand gold coins from the cabin and handed them to the girl in front of him.

"Bon voyage~"

After receiving the money, Shandel winked playfully and waved goodbye to the departing high-speed battleship.

What the girl didn't know was that with just a wave of her hand, she had brought a serious threat to Victoria.

It even changed history.

……

"Remember, what we are doing tonight is not a rebellion, but a war for the right to survive."

"Fellow countrymen, we must let King Aslan remember our names forever."

"God bless Victoria!"

With a fierce cannon shot, a revolution called power change quietly unfolded in Victoria.

Because the root of this revolution was the struggle for a special fertilizer called "soil", it was also called the Fertile Soil Revolution by later historians.

But these are all later stories. With the sound of the cannon, the entire upper city of Londinium was instantly turned into a mess.

The old nobles who were still asleep were stunned by the sudden explosion for a moment. The cohesion of the new nobles was far beyond their imagination.

Because some of the old nobles lived relatively close to the residences of the new nobles, they were beheaded by the coalition forces before they even had time to put on their pants, and they specifically targeted the nobles with King Aslan's bloodline.

Because the army of the new nobles was well prepared, well-equipped and well-trained, and its combat skills were no less than those of the regular army, it quickly broke through the defense line.

For the sake of convenience, we will refer to this coalition army as the New Parliament Army.

The New Parliament's army advanced with unstoppable force, fighting their way from the bottom of the upper city all the way to the gates of the palace.

However, the army encountered some obstacles on the way to attack, causing its advance speed to slow down instantly.

It was this moment of chaos that gave the old aristocracy a chance to breathe.

"Hurry up and go to the palace to invite the Steam Knight!"

The loud shouts and explosions also woke up the sleeping King Aslan.

In just a few minutes, three huge steel monsters stood in front of the New Parliament army.

"Mr. Shi Huaiya, you are plotting a rebellion!"

A huge sound came from inside the Steam Knight, and the driver couldn't believe that he could actually encounter rebellion.

Shi Huaiya stood in front of the coalition forces and took out the prepared flares.

Without saying anything more, there was a bang and the flare burst into a bright light in the sky.

It illuminated the long suppressed anger on the faces of the new nobles.

"Well then! I'm sorry!"

The Steam Knights were only responsible to the king, and neither the new nor the old nobles had the right to command them.

The Steam Knight took out a huge mechanical stick from his back, and for some reason, a strange music suddenly sounded in everyone's mind.

And as the stick is swung, the sound of it hitting people is particularly clear.

—One, one, one, five! One, one, one, one, five!

This is no longer an ordinary rebellion, and we must strike hard.

Three steam knights rushed into the crowd and started a massacre. It took only a few dozen minutes to drive the coalition forces out of the core area of ​​Londinium.

The New House army suffered heavy casualties and was forced to retreat.

After all, the Steam Knights don't use rubber sticks. Once these guys hit people with the sticks, the people who are hit will be left with only a pool of mud.

But what surprised the Steam Knight was that although the rebels were gradually moving away from him, they seemed to have no signs of retreat, as if they were waiting for something.

Could it be that these people have a backup plan?

Just as a Steam Knight driver was thinking, the body of the mecha was suddenly hit by a fireball and almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

Such a strong feeling of pushing back.

Several mechas turned around and saw that more than a dozen warlocks wearing long robes had appeared in the New Parliament army.

"You are truly foolish! You are risking your lives for a rebellion that has no chance of success."

No wonder this spell attack can cause scars on the Steam Knight.

These warlocks were covered with Originium crystals, which was like gambling with their lives.

"Go all out! The Speaker will be here soon!"

With the addition of the Kryptonian Warlock, the war instantly entered a white-hot stage.

The intelligence reached the palace, and King Aslan added two more Steam Knights to the central area.

Just when the New Parliament’s army was about to collapse, a cannon shot suddenly rang out in the distance.

After the sound, a large black mushroom was seen, drawing a perfect parabola and landing accurately in front of the Steam Knight.

Just when these steel monsters had not yet reacted, the big black mushroom exploded instantly. In just a breath, a steam knight was blown into pieces by the violent shock wave.

The new nobles were overjoyed when they saw this scene. They turned to look at the huge machine rushing towards them from a distance, and the reinforcements wearing silver-white armor rushing towards them.

"The Speaker is here! Brothers, attack with all your might!"

"With the Speaker here, we have justice!"

Seeing their comrades reduced to ashes, several Steam Knights turned to look at the huge machines and rebels approaching from a distance.

"The rebels have heavy firepower! The situation is out of control. Immediately notify the Border Duke to lead his troops to rescue us!"

Unfortunately, before the Steam Knight could send out the message for help, its body was instantly covered by countless branches.

Looking down, he saw a rebel in silver-white armor using a branch to pry open the joints all over his body.

Just when the Steam Knight thought that the opponent was overestimating his own capabilities, the next second, its body fell apart like a building block.

Chapter 72: The Aslan bloodline was eradicated.

You came from Yan Country~ In exchange for my snow-white clothes~ I want to eat Cantonese cuisine~

Huang Cao was wearing silver armor and walking on the red carpet where only King Aslan could stand.

Holding a long sword in his hand, he stared at King Aslan who was sitting on the throne in front of him.

Under Huang Cao's arrangement, none of the new nobles entered the palace, leaving him alone to meet King Aslan.

"Your Majesty, King Aslan, I'm very sorry to disturb your rest. I wonder where the princess and the prince are. Could you please come out and see them?"

Huang Cao and his men searched all over Londinium but found no direct descendants of King Aslan, as if they were hidden by someone.

"King Aslan, how was your experience tonight? Did you enjoy the play?"

He raised his head and looked at the handsome man sitting on the throne.

There is no doubt that this king is very young, even a little too young.

"If I were a dozen years older, perhaps your conspiracy wouldn't be able to be carried out, and the country wouldn't be invaded by an evil spirit like you."

The first King Aslan in Victorian history was crowned in 798, more than a hundred years have passed since then.

The current King Aslan is very young, only in his twenties.

Chu Deng Da Bao lacked experience, so he failed to properly balance the relationship between the new and old nobles from the beginning, which allowed Huang Cao to take advantage of the opportunity.

But according to future historical developments.

This guy's descendants, that is, the next heir, did not seem to handle the relationship between the new and old nobles well, otherwise King Victoria would not have been pushed to the guillotine.

"What do you want, my throne or this country?"

The young King Aslan touched his sword and stared at the boy in front of him with burning eyes.

"How dare I covet your position? I am merely seeking justice for my councilors. After today, you will still be king, though your movements will be slightly restricted."

Huang Cao's words revealed his intention.

First of all, this wave alone is not enough to completely seize power. If nothing unexpected happens, the beast master serving King Aslan should send his descendants away.

Victoria still has a feudal system. According to the rules of inheritance, as long as the king is not dead, his descendants will not be able to succeed to the throne.

If Huang Cao killed the lion now, his descendants would probably be carried up by other dukes in a few days. He had to block this path.

The kings, princes, generals and ministers here are really very powerful. Ordinary people in this land value bloodline much more than in their previous lives.

Therefore, there is a saying on this land: blood determines destiny.

Just like Tallulah in the future, no matter how she escapes or resists, she cannot avoid the blood of Draco in her body. The same is true for the parents of this dragon.

Strong claims are very important in this land.
