Cold sweat trickled down Duke Isere's back. His mind revolved lightning fast, and he immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty, it's not that I'm unwilling to serve you.
It's just that after rashly attacking the Iman Principality, I lost more than 50% of my private troops.
I can't collect the required 30 million gold coins of compensation for the time being.
If you want me to send troops, I won't hesitate to do so.
However, Your Majesty, please allocate 70 million gold coins as well as the provisions needed for a corps to fight for a year.
Otherwise, even if I go to the Red Earth Wasteland, it would just be a repeat of the defeat of the hunting fang corps. "
Morrince 2,867th wasn't willing to cut down on the gold coins that he enjoyed himself and then spend them on military expenses.
An official of the Hansen Family stepped forward and barked: "Duke Isere has agreed to send troops, but the provisions are lacking.
Sir Favio, your Orthux Family also has 15,000 private troops, so why don't you take the initiative to serve His Majesty?
Are you the one who wants to strengthen yourself with troops? "
The official opened his hand and an image crystal shone with light. In the hall, a beautiful girl wearing a silver dress appeared. She had a head of dazzling golden hair, a tall figure, skin as white as jade, exquisite facial features, and a pair of beautiful eyes that seemed to speak. She was like a peerless beauty who had walked out of a painting.
Morrince 2,867th's turbid eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light. He looked at the official full of expectation, and a trace of vitality seemed to emerge in his aged body.
Favio said with a faint smile: "Your Majesty, this humble servant hasn't finished yet.
After the defeat of the hunting fang corps, the warriors of the Molinson Province with fighting strength were almost exhausted.
Although Governor Bousso defeated the Fiend Ian in succession, but he also suffered many casualties.
It will take at least 2 years to recruit and train the soldiers and restore their fighting strength. "
Morrince 2,867th pondered for a while before saying: "Since it's so troublesome to send troops, then let's forget about it.
Since Ian wants to attach himself to us, then let's confer him the title of earl of the Red Earth Wasteland.
As for the fief, it's the entire Red Earth Wasteland.
Have him contribute 200,000 gold coins every year. "
An official of the Orthux Family came to the center of the reception hall and said: "Your Majesty, this humble servant has something to report."
Morrince 2,867th's aged, turbid eyes flashed with a bright gleam. The wealth of 1 billion gold coins moved him a little, and he looked at Favio.
However, Morrince 2,867th didn't play his cards according to common sense, forcing Duke Isere into a dilemma.
Yang Feng leading the Miracle City to attach himself to the Morrince Empire was a peerless achievement.
With this peerless achievement, Bousso would soon become an important pillar of the Morrince Empire.
He would soon become an important pillar of the Orthux Family in the Morrince Empire.
Favio also showed a smile. of. Ian.
Accompanying a ruler was like accompanying a tiger, especially an incapable ruler like Morrince 2,867th, who had tremendous power and acted as he pleased. It was even more dangerous.
The Isson, and, and, and. and, and, and. and. Ian, and, and Ian., and, and, Ian.
Isere said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Fiend Ian plundered more than 1 billion gold coins from the Molinson Province.
The empire only has to spend 40 million gold coins to defeat the Fiend Ian, and the 1 billion gold coins will be returned to the treasury. "
Morrince 2,867th frowned slightly. He couldn't wait for 2 years.
Morrince 2,867th's eyes flashed with a shrewd light, and he said with a loud laugh: "Good!
Good!
Good!
Favio, you said it well!
Isere, I order you to attack the Miracle City with your family's private army.
After capturing the Miracle City, I'll reward you with 100 million gold coins from the wealth of the Miracle City. "
On the Feisuo Plane, there was an ancient feudal system. Within their fiefs, greater aristocrats had various privileges such as collecting taxes and enacting laws. It was almost equivalent to a state within a state.
However, every year, aristocrats had to pay a portion of gold coins or materials to the empire according to the size of their fiefs and the richness of their fiefs to show their submission to the empire.
If the aristocrats failed to pay the specified amount of gold coins and materials to the empire, then the empire had the right to take back the fiefs granted to the aristocrats.
Morrince 2,867th said somewhat impatiently: "What's the matter? Spit it out!"
When Duke Isere saw the peerlessly beautiful girl, his complexion changed dramatically, and he stared at the smiling Favio with resentment and anger in his eyes.
"Your Majesty is wise!!"
The Morrince Empire was huge. For this huge empire, 40 million gold coins was nothing.
However, most of the taxes collected by the huge empire had to be paid for the huge civil service system as well as the expenditure of millions of troops.
Coupled with the fact that Emperor Morrince had always been extravagant, it was very difficult to mobilize 40 million gold coins in a hurry.
In the court, all the voices disappeared and everyone quieted down.
Although Bousso was timid and had almost no ability to command troops, but he had a good political sense and mind.
He was one of the highest ranking members of the younger generation of the Orthux Family.
Isere said coldly: "The Hansen Family is His Majesty's most loyal subject.
The Hansen Family is absolutely duty-bound to share His Majesty's burdens.
But when an army goes to war, provisions come first.
Without enough money and provisions, how can a war be supported?
Favio, your family's Governor Bousso has submitted 44 reports of victory in a row. In the reports, the number of people beheaded has exceeded 200,000.
I heard that the total population of the Miracle City is no more than 50,000. Where did the 200,000 enemies come from? "
When Duke Isere heard that, his complexion suddenly changed dramatically.
The Hansen Family had 20,000 elite private troops, which were the lifeblood of the Hansen Family and the foundation for Duke Isere to run amok in the Morrince Empire.
Once the 20,000 elite private troops were wiped out, the Hansen Family would fall from a top aristocratic family to an ordinary aristocratic family, and its strength would decline greatly.
For Morrince 2,867th, 200,000 gold coins was not a small amount. After all, the Red Earth Wasteland had always been a desolate place with no special products.
With a sharp gaze, Morrince 2,867th stared at Isere. Suddenly, he smiled and said casually: "Isere, what do you think?"
The official replied calmly: "Your Majesty, this girl is called Faldina, a personal disciple of the Titan Empire's Legend Wizard Arvita.
Reportedly, she has the bloodline of the Titan Goddess of Charm and is a legendary divine descendant.
According to the information I received, she has a close relationship with Edith, the son of Duke Isere.
I suspect that Edith may have sold out a lot of intelligence on the Morrince Empire for this girl, and that he has very likely betrayed the Morrince Empire! "
Feeling that the Hansen Family was about to face a calamity, Isere suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Your Majesty!
The Hansen Family is loyal to Your Majesty, to the empire, and will never have any disloyal thoughts.
After this old official returns to the family, I will immediately use all the power of the family to capture this girl and present her to Your Majesty for interrogation! "
The officials of the 2 factions, the Orthux Family and the Hansen Family, stepped forward and accused each other.
Fabio said coldly: "Duke Isere, the Hansen Family can wage a war to exterminate a principality just for the sake of you, yet you are unwilling to serve His Majesty.
You have ulterior motives! "
On the Feisuo Plane, unless it was a war between states, emperors generally had no right to order a greater aristocrat to use their private troops to fight for them.
Morrince 2,867th felt annoyed and said coldly.
Fabio said coldly: "Duke Isere, don't you want to serve His Majesty the great emperor?"
An official of the Orthux Family stepped forward and barked: "Duke Isere, your family's 20,000 private troops clearly didn't suffer much damage, so why aren't you willing to serve His Majesty?
Does the Hansen Family want to keep its troops for itself?! "
Although Morrince 2,867th was extremely muddle-headed, but he was still the emperor of the Morrince Empire and had great power.
Offending Morrince 2,867th was undoubtedly the stupidest decision.
Once Morrince 2,867th bore a grudge against them, the entire Hansen Family would be in danger of being destroyed.
Just as Morrince 2,867th's words fell, a chorus of voices came from below.
Most importantly, Yang Feng had already withdrawn to the Red Earth Wasteland and was no longer a threat to the Morrince Empire.
Duke Isere wanted to say something, but then hesitated. Finally, he looked at Fabio, who was watching him coldly, gave a long sigh, and fell silent.
He had slightly offended Morrince 2,867th by using delaying tactics.
If he continued to annoy Morrince 2,867th, the situation of the Hansen Family would become dangerous.
Fabio turned his blade and mercilessly stabbed Isere: "Your Majesty, I have a good proposal!
The private troops of the Isere Family are extremely powerful. Not long ago, Duke Isere used his private troops to destroy the Iman Principality.
It would be better to let Duke Isere dispatch his private troops to serve His Majesty and capture the Miracle City in one fell swoop.
Since Duke Isere is His Majesty's most loyal subject, surely you won't refuse this proposal! "
"Shut up!"
Fabio said confidently: "The population of the Miracle City was indeed only 50,000. However, after he attacked the Molinson Province, he captured slaves on a large scale and filled his army with them.
That's why his army swelled up.
Every time Governor Bousso defeated the Demon Ian, the Demon Ian would replenish his army, which was why he annihilated 200,000 enemies. "
