Petrovich's expression was extremely ugly, not only him, but also other lords present.
Nomeli raised the red wine in his hand and shook it against the sunlight of the window, making the coquettish red wine even more beautiful.
"I'll give you one day to think about it. If you don't want to, then we just need to send the navy to land from the northern coast. Although it is a bit cold here, there is a lot of fertile land. I believe many people in the empire are willing to immigrate here."
Nomeli didn't give them any chance.
"Your Highness, what exactly do you want us to obey?" Petrovich asked through gritted teeth.
"Simple, absolutely obey the empire and become a part of the empire. All city-states will be re-divided into provinces and managed by governors sent by the empire. You will still retain your title and land, but from now on you will have to pay taxes in accordance with the law. Of course, private armies
Possession is also not allowed.”
Petrovich didn't care about paying taxes. After all, they all had to pay tribute to the Ottoman Kingdom on time. They just changed it to a nice name.
They were very satisfied with the reservation of titles and land, but the last sentence that private armies were not allowed caused a huge backlash from them.
"Your Royal Highness, you do not allow us to have a private army, so how can we govern the people below, and how can we protect ourselves if the people rebel," Petrovich said dissatisfied.
Nomeiri said with a smile: "Because you have the most courageous and capable unified army in the mainland and the protection of the elite national defense force. The only thing you have to do is to manage everything in the territory."
"As for rebellion, don't worry, under the rule of the empire, the people will not rebel easily." Nomeili said very confidently.
Compared with other countries, which take the country's royal family and nobles as their central interests, the Merlox Empire's charter is more about the protection and responsibility of ordinary people.
As long as Aslan does not die and Mero's charter remains unchanged, no people will be willing to rebel unless someone deliberately forces them to do so.
The people's requirements are very simple: they want clothes and food, enough food, and a warm bed for their wives and children.
"I will apply to His Majesty for a bodyguard quota for you, which will be between one hundred and two hundred people." Nomeili reluctantly said.
Petrovich and all the lords turned green.
"Think about it carefully and give me the answer tomorrow." Nomeli drank the red wine in one gulp and left in a swaggering manner.
Petrovich and a group of lords began to discuss.
"Lord Petrovich, what are your plans?" Lord Seinosev asked with an ugly face.
Petrovich shook his head, and finally gritted his teeth and took out the information he had just obtained.
"This is the news brought back by the spies I bought from the Laoshang tribe. The Laoshang tribe is in danger, and the Ultra tribe itself is a member of the Merox Empire. Once the Laoshang tribe fails, the Nanqu tribe alone will not be able to stop it.
If you can't stop the iron cavalry of the Merox Empire, please think clearly, we can't even defeat the Ottoman Kingdom, so what can we do to win?"
All the lords exchanged and browsed the information with each other. After reading it, everyone's face was very ugly.
The Laoshang tribe was defeated too quickly. I heard that the Maxim Empire behind the Laoshang tribe was also blocked in the Corinya Mountains.
As for the Eastern Gods who spread their influence behind the Ottoman Kingdom, they have long been forgotten. During this period, the Maxim Empire and the Merox Empire consciously cleaned up these troublesome guys, allowing the rights of each tribe to be more concentrated in a single
With his hand, he naturally cut off the tentacles of the Eastern God Sect, and even the tribe he supported was annexed by the three major tribes.
This incident made the Eastern God Sect very dissatisfied and even went to the Magic City to cause trouble.
Unfortunately, these are all tacit agreements reached by the Shanyus of the three major tribes. They have long been fed up with this life of divine authority.
Without the assistance of the shamans of the Eastern Gods, the Ottoman Kingdom became more passive in fighting the magicians, which is why they were defeated so quickly.
"Now we have only two choices. The first choice is to fight to the end and be conquered by the Merox Empire in the end. However, after being conquered, with Princess Nomi's behavior, our end will probably be very miserable. The second choice is
The first choice is to submit to the rule of the Merox Empire. I have learned about it a long time ago. In addition to having their rights greatly reduced, the old aristocrats of the Kingdom of Cleveland are now living better and better." Petrovich said.
There was silence in the entire banquet hall.
After a long time, someone stood up and said, "Sorry, I can't accept this. I would rather die with the honor of a noble."
Someone took the lead, and three more people stood up to join in.
These four people represent the fifteen lords in the Nanqu tribe's ruling area.
Petrovich looked at the four people leaving and said coldly: "You guys may not understand yet, why don't you use these four guys as an opportunity to see what Princess Nomeli will do?"
When everyone heard this, they nodded quickly.
Petrovich simply took the initiative to report the incident to Nomeli.
Nomeli suddenly became interested, as someone actually dared to commit a crime.
"Who was the first to stand up and refuse?" Nomeiri asked.
"Marquis Christopher," Petrovich said cautiously.
"Very good, Saneye!" Nomeli suddenly shouted.
Hearing the name again, Petrovich's body trembled subconsciously.
"See you, Princess!" Saneye knelt down on one knee and saluted.
"Take five people and go kill Marquis Christopher, including all the people in his territory, with clean hands and feet." Nomeli said coldly. Originally, she planned to give it to Bespa, but after considering this,
The second is to focus on deterrence, and only use the most bloody and brutal means to solve the problem.
"Yes! My respected Highness." Saneye's eyes glowed red and he responded enthusiastically.
"I'll give you some time to think about it." Nomiri said calmly, then raised the black tea next to her and drank it.
Petrovich understood and bowed to say goodbye.
This is the opportunity Nomeli gave them to see what happened to Marquis Christopher.
Saneye was very fast, and the order had just been issued. The next day, before Marquis Christopher returned to the territory, he saw a large number of people in the territory fleeing, which made his face turn pale instantly.
Christopher had already thought about it. After returning, his family would seek refuge in the Magic City. Anyway, they already had a relationship with the Magic City. It would be better to become a rich man in the Magic City than to be sucked by these two vampire countries here.
Christopher noticed an embarrassed knight running wildly on horseback, even knocking down a dozen poor people without caring, and finally even drew his sword to kill all these guys who were blocking the road.
