Of course, Grand Duke Risa, who was expelled from the palace, could not sit still and wait for death. When he returned to his mansion, he planned to use the time difference between being dismissed as prime minister, but which has not yet been officially announced, to seek a chance of survival. The best target is the old man.
The opponent's heir, his eldest son, was left in the capital as the Grand Duke's agent - Marquis Farshid.
Having made up his mind, Duke Rizal immediately summoned the knight, the leader of his guard.
Although there are only half of the Duke's Guards left in name, it is not too difficult to make up the number of five hundred. But what makes Duke Rizal heartbroken is the loss of a thousand people. It can be said that the number of people in his territory is
The young people, and some of the best, lost their lives forever. And they couldn't even be resurrected because they were all burned to ashes.
This hatred is brewing in the remaining members of the guard. When the chief knight, a blood relative of the Risa family, comes to the head of the family, the first thing he does is to ask for a fight.
In fact, this is the second time he has made a request. The previous time was when he got the news in the morning, and the chief knight came to ask for a fight. But at that time, Duke Rizal still wanted to use force to force the heir of the Kawei family to agree to his disposal method.
.In this way, the problem can be solved without any bloodshed.
It is a pity that his plan did not come true, and the emperor's showdown forced Duke Rizal into a very dangerous situation. So this time when faced with the leader knight's request, he did not veto it, but asked directly: "
How many people do you need to take down the little brat from the Kawei family?"
"Master, I need half of the manpower in the palace. I guarantee that we can finish the job before the emperor's personal guards intervene." The leader knight said, holding back his breath.
"I will give you all the manpower, and I will go there. But I want the little cub of the Kawei family alive. You can do whatever you want with the others. Before the emperor's people intervene, you have to deal with all the troubles. Can you do it?"
"
"Yes, Master. I promise to complete it."
"Go and prepare everything." Lord Rizal nodded and agreed to a foreseeable killing.
Although in the evaluation of outsiders, the Rizal family's military force is inferior to that of the Kawi family, the only difference between the two is a grand duke with extraordinary strength.
Domestically, they are responsible for conquering bandits and bandits, and dealing with catastrophic monsters. Externally, they are responsible for conquering foreign enemies and guarding against the invasion of other countries. The two grand duke families bear the same responsibilities, so there will not be a big gap in the military force under their command.
Even if Duke Rizal understands his own shortcomings, he will work harder to prepare better weapons and equipment for the armed forces he relies on in order to narrow the gap.
Therefore, as long as Ricardo Carvey himself does not stay in the Duke's Palace in the imperial capital, it is not difficult to storm a palace with half of the Duke's Guards. As for the attitude of outsiders, it doesn't matter.
The nobles of the empire have no tacit agreement not to resort to assassinations, forceful attacks, etc., and keep everything within the scope of civil fights. It is a joke to say that they are afraid of others attacking those who break the rules.
If this level of regulation and punishment are effective, then there is no need for laws in the world. Moral principles are enough. Anyone who violates morality is not afraid of being criticized by thousands of people, being spitted to death, and making himself embarrassed to live in this world.
.
The real reason why the nobles of the Gwana Empire did not dare to cause trouble in the imperial capital was simply the attitude of the most powerful noble, the emperor.
The upper limit of the duke's guard is 500 people, 400 people for marquis, 300 people for count...and the number decreases in descending order. Each title class has a number of armed forces it is allowed to hold on a permanent basis. If it exceeds, it is regarded as a provocation to the imperial power.
Weak nobles may not be able to raise enough guards, and powerful nobles can only use other flexible methods to raise more soldiers. But no matter how the number of soldiers is increased, they can only raise them within their own territory.
There are three emperors and three guards who are pressing down on everyone.
The Guards Corps is responsible for supervising the nobles and officials and keeping track of everything; the Guards Corps guards the palace and the capital; the Iron Guards Corps takes the initiative. The three guards are all legions with a standing strength of ten thousand people. Any nobleman who wants to challenge the emperor can
If you don't have the courage, you have to go back to your own territory to recruit troops. Otherwise, the standing guards alone will not be enough to fight the emperor's three guards, and there is no need for all three guards to go out.
With such a dark and evil force suppressing everyone, everyone can fight and rob as they please. The emperor has the final say on the rules. Now that the Risa family and the Kawi family are involved, the one who sits on the supreme throne
People make up their minds and don't want to take care of it. So Angie Rizal has no reason not to do some things that are originally regarded as 'bad rules'. It is best to provoke the person who can't help but come forward.
The old Duke just couldn't stand Emperor Armin's attitude of being aloof, taking charge of everything, and then just sitting back and enjoying the results.
Two grand dukes fought, and one of them beat the other to death, maimed it, and killed the other. At most, they could only take away the other's property as spoils of war, but they could not occupy the territory and population belonging to the losing party. Because Yu Fa
There is no basis for it. Blood Flag Revenge is not a tool used to annex other nobles.
So how to deal with the population and territory of an extinct family? According to convention, it is managed by the upper nobles until someone is willing to step forward to inherit the extinct family name. It is also possible to entrust it to other people, but this approach is more likely to be criticized by others.
Even the people living on that land easily miss the old lord and reject the new lord.
In any case, although the bloody flag battle between the Rizal family and the Kawi family may evolve into a military disaster that spreads throughout the empire, it is not that others cannot benefit from it. For example, if they join the victor's side and contribute,
Naturally, he is qualified to take a share of the loser's disposal. And the emperor is sure to take the loser's territory and population into his pocket.
But why should he become a piece of meat on the chopping block in the eyes of others? How many people can understand the unwillingness in Risa's heart.
At their level, there is no longer right or wrong, only winners and losers. The old emperor also said that he would only stand on the side of the winner. And if he could drive that man out of the palace in the past, then
There is a way to go one step further and kill him.
The regained confidence and calmness allowed Anji Risa to quickly see his situation clearly. Although he did not want to be in a head-on situation when dealing with his old opponent, he was not completely without preparations and plans in this regard, and even
It's not like he has no chance of winning.
The most ideal first step at present is to directly capture that man's son, his first heir. As long as he has such a hostage in hand, no matter how he uses it in the future, he has a sure chance of winning.
For this reason, he must come forward in person. Not only as a bait, but also to make good use of his last remaining power before his resignation as the imperial prime minister is widely known, to scare those Xiaoxiao who are hiding in the dark, waiting for opportunities. Use practical actions to tell them,
The majesty of the Duke cannot be violated lightly!
