Prince Eric looked very kind, but his words made neither the nobles of the Northern Principality nor the nobles of the Agate Principality believe him.
However, now that the life-saving straw is in his hands, even if he pretends to be pretentious, there is nothing the nobles can do.
King Culver immediately continued: "Your Highness Eric, the Glory Continent is about to be covered by the death energy, but there are still tens of millions of human beings on this continent, so we ask you to lend a helping hand.
Glory Continent, transfer the people here to the Holy Continent!”
"Transfer to the Holy Continent?" Prince Eric nodded belatedly.
"The arrival of death energy and dark creatures cannot be changed. Even the six-star magician cannot stop it. To solve it, the only way to solve it is to send out troops to exterminate the dark creatures and plant sacred thorns at the same time. But this will take time and powerful
army……"
"It seems that this is really the only way now!"
"However, nobles, you also know that tens of millions of people are extremely large. It will be very difficult for the Bach Empire to accommodate them all at once if they flood into the Holy Continent."
"Besides, I am only the eldest prince of the Bach Empire, and I cannot make arrangements for such a major event on my own!"
The eldest prince Ralph finally showed a troubled expression.
"Your Highness, is it really not possible?" Princess Isabella said softly, pretending to be anxious on her face.
In my heart, the little good feeling I had for Prince Eric these days has been completely consumed.
A few days ago, Eric at least pretended to be personable and very friendly.
But now that I see the change in the situation, I am so pretentious, which is simply disgusting.
But now in order to be able to travel to the Holy Continent with the whole country, she can only cooperate with the acting.
"Alas! Although I may be punished if I go back without permission, these are tens of millions of human beings. How could I just watch you being swallowed up by the darkness!" Eric felt that he was almost done.
Especially Isabella's feigned anxiety and sadness gave him great psychological satisfaction.
After a pause, he continued: "However, everyone, if you follow me to the Bach Empire, then I'm afraid you will no longer have the title of a principality!"
"Okay!" King Culver gritted his teeth and did not object.
In fact, he had expected this a long time ago.
"Well, the other thing is that the titles of the nobles may have to be lowered..." Eric continued.
"Your Highness Eric, don't know how to lower it?" A group of nobles immediately expressed concern.
"According to the size of your Northern Principality and Agate Principality, it is only a territory of a marquis in our Bach Empire!"
"So, if you come to the Bach Empire, then the titles will go down one title in order?"
"All of them will go down one rank?"
All the nobles from the Glory Continent showed pained expressions.
It took hundreds of years to reach the level of Duke, Marquis, and Earl. Now, if you want to go down a level directly, you don't know how many generations of hard work it will take to recover again.
"Okay!" However, fortunately, everyone could see clearly and still reluctantly agreed.
"Well, very good, then there is only one last thing left that worries me. As long as this matter is resolved, even if I am punished, the nobles' trip to the Holy Continent will not be affected."
"I don't know what it is?"
"Everyone, when you go to the Holy Continent, the land you need to occupy is very broad. Although our Bach family, as the royal family, controls the entire Bach Empire, it will inevitably cause opposition from other nobles in the country..."
"So, I think you nobles had better prepare some gold coins. If there are really objections from other nobles, we can use gold coins to appease them!"
"I can roughly estimate the gold coins. A marquis will need at least 100,000 gold coins, a count will need 50,000 gold coins, a viscounty will need 20,000 gold coins, and a barony will need 8,000 gold coins!"
"Of course, if the gold coins are not enough, you can also use elves or other materials instead!"
"This..." At this time, the reaction of the nobles was more excited than before.
After all, being demoted to a lower rank has not affected his own strength, so at least it is easier to accept.
But now I still have to pay gold coins.
Moreover, the price was simply aimed at draining their wealth, so naturally everyone was reluctant to part with it for a while.
"His Royal Highness Eric, can this gold coin be reduced? This is too much for us nobles in the Glory Continent!"
Exploiting some gold coins was actually what King Culver expected.
But the problem is that these tens of thousands of gold coins are really not that easy to get hold of.
The heritage of a noble is actually not only gold coins, but also land, castles and other wealth.
But now the land and castle need to be abandoned, and when the elves and gold coins are taken away, they will probably become completely destitute by then.
"Nobles, I am just giving you a suggestion for this gold coin. It is not that I, Eric, am going to accept it, but it is for your sake."
"In addition, the number of gold coins I gave is actually the lowest. In our Holy Continent, even a pot of ordinary spirits requires ten gold coins per pot!"
Seeing that everyone was excited, Eric was not in a hurry.
"Well, nobles, please go back and think about it first! To be honest, I am taking a big risk. If you can accept it, then come to me. If you can't accept it, you can go to the Holy Continent on your own.
You know how difficult it is to find a safe land to settle down in the Holy Continent!"
After saying that, Prince Eric exited the temporary meeting tent, leaving the nobles with uncertain expressions.
…
"Your Highness, why did you leave? I think these nobles must have answered yes!" After Prince Eric walked out of the tent, a subordinate immediately followed him and asked.
In his opinion, this matter will be successful later, but his eldest prince actually asked them to think about it again. Isn't this unnecessary?
More importantly, he also told everyone that they could go to the Holy Continent on their own.
There must be no one in the church city in the north now. If these nobles from the Glory Continent want to go there, they may really be able to go there without any hindrance.
"Kelly, do you think they will hold a grudge against me in the future after they just agreed?" Eric asked back.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid they don't dare, right? However, they will definitely have some resentment in their hearts!"
"Haha, you also know that they will be resentful, so I ask them to think more about it now, and come back to me when they have thought about it!"
"They are all nobles. Compared with gold coins and lives, they know how to make choices. And when the time comes, they begged me after careful consideration, so they can't blame me!"
"In addition, after arriving in the Holy Continent, I will indeed give them planning office land, so I'm afraid they will be grateful to me for keeping my word!"
"Your Highness, are you really prepared to give them so much land?"
"Of course, we have given it. The most indispensable thing in our Holy Continent is land, but... we have the final say on where to give it. Isn't there a large piece of land in the Black Rock Plain where it meets the orcs? I plan to place them there.
