Chapter 164: Frightened
Renault is now destroying the old aristocratic system in the Nolan continent. In this era, most intellectuals and upper-class talents are concentrated among the nobles and their vassals. If he wants to establish a new order, especially in a short period of time, no matter what, if he wants to quickly establish a more stable new order, he still has to find a way to borrow from these people.
So he wanted to destroy the old aristocrats, but he had to keep it - at least to retain some of the nobles who were willing to cooperate and accept the transformation and to make the resources they had mastered come in handy.
"Stop the war against the Grand Duchy of Steel for the time being. Maybe we need some preparation time. Recently, you will establish a new order on the newly occupied territory! One month! I will only give you one month! One month later, I need to see a stable rear!" Renault was still lying under the giant throne, looking lazy, and the words in his mouth were like thunder.
"The war is coming soon! Okay, if you understand, you can retreat!"
William's body was shocked, and he quickly calmed down. He bent down respectfully and held his hands in front of his chest and saluted: "Affect your will!"
As he said that, he slowly retreated out, and as William's figure disappeared into a huge temple like a cave, the cave seemed to be in silence at this moment.
However, in the capital of the Iron Duchy King, thousands of miles away, in the capital that has been very ancient for nearly a thousand years, there is only low and depressing in the air.
A red cloak rolled through the long corridor of the royal capital like a heavy royal power. The Iron Duke and several followers quickly passed through the corridor. The Iron Duke, who was always cold and strong, even seemed colder today than usual, but the slight fighting spirit that kept flying in his hurry showed the uneasy mood of the great duke. This hurried situation did not often appear on him.
He walked into the "Convention Hall" on the top floor of the castle. In this small, small hall for the top-level powerhouses of the Principality, he saw several familiar marquis. The ancestors of these people once followed his ancestors to open up the Iron Duchy of Steel and contributed the greatest honors!
One of the middle-aged marquis, who was very concerned about by the Grand Duke of Steel, was standing by the window, looking down at the atrium open space inside the castle. The marquis was obviously very vocal in the Grand Duke of Steel. After hearing the movements of entering the door, he turned around and took a look, but soon turned his head back.
This is the highest view of the entire principality. At the end of his sight, outside the king capital, a long distance from the king capital, you can vaguely see a wall surrounding the horizon, and it seems that you can feel the noise there between dozens of miles.
Of course this is impossible to hear, but you can imagine how lively the city wall that wrapped the entire capital would be at this moment.
Indeed, the Baiyue Fortress is now overcrowded. Some are legion soldiers mobilized from the king capital from other fortresses and territories. Some are steel nobles and civilians who have lost their homes and escaped in time by the dragon vassals. Some are a small number of defeated troops from the Thorn Kingdom, which have also been gathered into the fortress.
Now the entire White Moon Fortress has estimated that it has a population of nearly 300,000, including the garrison of the White Moon Fortress itself and the gangs near the fortress.
At the same time, the Grand Duke of Steel temporarily summoned the great nobles of the marquis of the Duchy of the State to discuss matters with the royal capital. The Grand Duke of Steel temporarily summoned all the great nobles. At this time, all the marquis knew that there should be very bad news.
Some well-informed marquis had already guessed the reason in their hearts. The rumor that came from Baiyue Fortress a few days ago was probably true.
"I believe you can also guess the reason why I call you all over here to discuss the matter this time!" Sure enough, the Iron Duke said with a heavy voice, "From us, we went to hunt the dragon's legion of the Thorn Kingdom, and was defeated on the front line! The kingdom's chief knight, Noel, was unknown to life and death. A legion commander died in battle, and a now fled back in a panic, but there are less than two thousand defeated soldiers who have fled back now.
Now the White Moon Fortress has entered the stage of full preparation, and several small-scale tentative battles have occurred with the other side in the plains outside the White Moon Fortress.”
Then he added: "I have sent almost all the imperial guards in the royal capital to the White Moon Fortress. I trust Count Annabister's abilities very much. She is the descendant of Frank, the god of war in the Principality. Her abilities are like her grandfather, and I trust this very much."
Even if the Grand Duke of Steel said this, the marquis present closed their eyes slightly, and some of their bodies couldn't help but shake slightly.
It was not until a few minutes later that the old marquis, who were not young, finally opened their eyes. The middle-aged marquis, who seemed to be very heavy, took a deep breath and seemed to force himself to calm down: "If it was not as expected, these were just preludes. The enemies we faced were no longer the original nobles and gentlemen, but the aliens, an evil dragon! This was a war different from the past!"
The Iron Duke nodded imperceptibly, glanced at the middle-aged marquis in the distance, as if signing to continue, but after waiting for a while, the middle-aged marquis seemed to be very disrespectful and did not say a word.
The Iron Duke then spoke out and took the lead in breaking the silence and said, "I remember that the leader of the Kingdom Legion is Lord Knight! When I went to the Kingdom some time ago, I attended Lord Noel's promotion banquet! There is no doubt that this is a domain-level powerhouse! But he..."
Hearing the words of the Grand Duke of Steel, the marquis became even more silent.
These old marquises are all in the platinum level, but they are all promoted by magic pots, which is the so-called medicine jar. This kind of promotion of platinum level almost cuts off the possibility of the domain level, and even if they are promoted to platinum, even if they are stronger than the silver level, they are limited in strength.
With their vision, it would be great to be able to advance to the platinum level and maintain hereditary title. However, for the marquis, it is still possible to purchase enough platinum level potions to advance to the platinum level.
They are not like the Iron Duke, who is in his prime. It is said that the Iron Duke did not rely entirely on potions for promotion, but mainly exercised and supplemented by potions. It is a gradual advancement, which makes the Iron Duke's potential still exist.
But not only the Grand Duke of Steel, but also the Marquis present, they all knew very well what a domain rank represents. Even the most ordinary domain rank is far away for the Lords at the level of the Principality.
Now, I learned from the Grand Duke of Steel that a domain-level existence is likely to have died in battle, or under the fangs of the evil dragon.
