"I'm very sorry, Your Majesty."

Knowing that his behavior just now made Duke Lyman unhappy, the subordinate quickly lowered his head and apologized.

"Forget it." Fortunately, Duke Lyman was in a good mood today, "I've always been a tolerant person, so I won't punish you this time."

"Thank you, Lord Duke, for your generosity." His subordinates thanked him.

Then, Duke Lyman leaned forward and sat upright in his seat.

"Tell me, what's the new news in Fengsuicheng?" he asked casually.

"Return to the Duke." His subordinates raised their heads, "The new king announced to the outside world that they have controlled the plague and Fengsuicheng can be unsealed."

"ah?"

Upon hearing this, Duke Lyman's first reaction was - impossible!

He also tried to deal with the plague, but the plague was so terrible that it quickly infected many untouchables. No place in the city was safe. It was absolutely impossible to control it.

"Are you sure this is true? You didn't lie to me?" Duke Lyman asked in a deep voice.

"It should be true."

The subordinate answered truthfully: "Someone saw that the gate of Fengsuicheng City was opened, and people can come and go at will."

After receiving the affirmative answer, Duke Lyman was so angry that he gritted his teeth and the veins on his forehead popped out.

The new king really controlled the plague. Doesn't that prove that his governance methods are not good enough and he can't even handle the plague well?

This is the most unacceptable fact for Duke Lyman.

"Are you kidding? What method did the new king use to control the plague?" he asked hurriedly.

"Well, I heard..."

After thinking about it, his subordinates told Duke Lyman one by one about the epidemic prevention measures they had learned from civilians.

After hearing this, Duke Lyman looked in disbelief and was still unwilling to accept the facts.

"How do they insist on implementing such strict measures? Are those untouchables just like animals and staying at home without resistance?"

The subordinate shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

"It must be cheating! When I was here, the plague was spreading everywhere. After the new king entered the city, the plague stopped spreading. Yes! That must be the case."

Because things did not develop as he expected, Duke Lyman gradually became hysterical and his mind was a little confused.

"Will this plague still pick on people?" The subordinate accidentally expressed the question in his heart.

"He just cheated!"

Duke Lyman suddenly stood up from his seat, roared angrily, and did not allow his men to question him.

"Perhaps this plague was deliberately released by the new king in Fengsui City. That's right! That's definitely the case. He first used the plague to drive me away, and then sent troops into the city to occupy it. What an insidious method."

"Your Majesty the Duke is right."

After being yelled at, his subordinates now dare not provoke Duke Lyman and can only pretend to agree with what he said.

Sitting back in his seat, Duke Lyman stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead, as if he realized that he was a little crazy just now and wanted to calm down.

"Is there any new news over there?" he asked.

"Uh...that..."

Yes, there is, but Duke Lyman is in such a state that his subordinates are worried that the news will irritate him, so they dare not say anything.

Duke Lyman noticed that his men seemed not to want to say anything, so he sternly scolded: "If you have any news, tell me immediately! Don't hesitate!"

"Yes, Your Majesty the Duke."

With no other choice, his subordinates had no choice but to report honestly: "The new king also announced that Fengsu City will belong to him from now on, and appointed Baron Kevin as the administrator."

The subordinates deliberately omitted the new king's condemnation of Duke Leman, fearing that the Duke might go crazy after hearing this.

"Hahaha——ahhahaha——"

Unexpectedly, after hearing the report from his subordinates, Duke Lyman started laughing.

Is this... crazy? His subordinates couldn't help but think fearfully in their hearts.

Just when his men were at a loss and didn't know what to do, Duke Lyman suddenly stopped laughing and said with an indifferent expression: "Hurry and prepare a pen and paper, I want to write a letter."

"yes!"

The men and servants got to work quickly, bringing in the table and the tools needed to write the letter.

Picking up the quill, Duke Lyman dipped in ink and immediately started writing on the paper.

He is writing a letter to the Duke of the West.

After a simple greeting, it was immediately stated that the important tradition that had maintained the Dawn Kingdom for hundreds of years - the feudal nobles had reached a critical moment of life and death.

It is said that the reforms currently being carried out by the new king have overturned the system jointly created by the first king and the ancestors, negated the rules set since the founding of the country, and touched the foundation of the Kingdom of Dawn.

This is obviously wrong, very dangerous and must be stopped.

What followed was a bunch of accusations and curses against the new king, saying that he had used extremely insidious means to capture Toyosu City.

Duke Lyman also issued a call in the letter, saying that all nobles should unite to jointly deal with the threat from the new king. Only in this way can the purity of the Kingdom of Morning Light be ensured.

At the end of the letter, he told the Duke of the West that he had craftsmen from the royal capital who knew how to make muskets, as well as members of the Magic Stone Research Association who knew the formula for explosive powder.

They also said that the "big thick tube" that can attack from a distance is just an enlarged version of a musket. Since the principle is the same, they can also build it. Don't be too afraid of the new king's army.

In order to get these people over, Duke Lyman spent a lot of money.

Originally, these were all his preparations for becoming king and hegemony in the future, but now, he can only share the technology with the Duke of the West, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with the new king's army.

"I look forward to meeting you as soon as possible to discuss forming a coalition to fight against the new king."

After writing this sentence and leaving your signature, the letter is completed.

Duke Lyman folded the letter, put it in an envelope, sealed it with wax, and handed it to his men.

"Send this letter to the Duke of the West as soon as possible."

"Yes!" The subordinate took the order and retreated.

After the people left, Duke Lyman turned to look out the window. There were a few clouds floating in the blue sky, and there was an eagle soaring with its wings.

He murmured in a low voice: "You forced me to do this, Owen Eisen Wells."

…

Fengsuicheng.

The patients were finally cleared, and the disinfection team quickly used manual disinfection sprayers to completely disinfect the last medical point.

The new city hall was successfully established and functioning under Owen's guidance, and Toyosu City can be safely handed over to Baron Kevin for management.

The recruitment work has also been completed, and Viscount Jarvis plans to allow these new recruits to continue to garrison Fengsu City, while leaving a group of veterans to conduct rigorous training.

Now that the plague is completely over, it's time for Owen to leave Fengsui City.

Before leaving, Owen told Baron Kevin that if there were nobles willing to give up their territories and privileges and choose to join the army, they could accept these people.
Chapter completed!
