Chapter 429: Seeing the Eighth-Order Knight Again (Part 1)
As soon as Chris finished speaking, countless knights immediately knelt down: "I am willing to be loyal to you!"
These knights had nothing to lose and nothing to lose, no matter which country they were in.
But the nobles have been thinking about it for a long time. They still have titles, territories and rich property.
At this time, a noble asked hesitantly: "Can I pay the ransom? I am willing to give you any amount you want."
They don't want to give up what they have. Once they surrender to other countries, they have to start from the lower level of knights.
Chris snorted coldly: "I said, there are only two choices, you have no right to bargain with me!"
He didn't want to let the tiger return to the mountains and give the White Tiger Kingdom a chance to make a comeback. This country's national strength was very prosperous.
The nobles were immediately dejected, and they could only agree. After all, compared with their title, saving their own lives was the most important thing.
There are still more than 17,000 people in this group, which is a very considerable number. However, they were all injured by the clay bombs. Only the high-ranking knights were better.
Chris drove them to Stone City. On the way, a few nobles tried to sneak away quietly, but were killed on the spot without any mercy. The others instantly became much more honest.
Potala immediately opened the city gate to welcome them. Not only did they win the battle, they also captured so many enemy soldiers.
Entering the city, Chris immediately received a tsunami of applause from the knights of the Blazing Dragon Kingdom.
"Long live your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty is mighty!"
I have obtained more than 20,000 reputation points again. The war is really a good opportunity to gain reputation.
Half an hour later, Chris was sitting in the city lord's mansion.
Although Potala was injured, he still stayed and continued working because of his strong physique.
Chris asked: "How is the situation here?"
"Your Majesty, in the past month of the Pioneer Order War, a total of six cities have been captured. Counting today's results, approximately 19,000 noble knights have been captured." Potala replied respectfully.
Chris praised: "Well done."
"Thanks to the artillery, clay pot bombs and hot-air balloons provided by His Majesty." Potala flattered him at the right time, "but the reserves of gunpowder and bombs are running low, and we need to send a batch as soon as possible."
"I will immediately issue an order to have Dawn City send you ammunition." Chris can use the warning tree as a communication tool, and this thing can fly very fast.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Chris ordered: "Let's stop here. There's no need to go any further. It's good to be able to capture these six cities."
He was worried that occupying too much would cause a strong counterattack from the White Tiger Kingdom. After all, he had more than one enemy, but the surrounding countries.
"yes!"
"How many of our original Blazing Dragon Kingdom knights are there in the city?"
"About nine thousand people."
Chris thought for a while and said: "Nobles of the fourth rank and above retain their original titles, and those who have fiefdoms within the six cities will be reserved for them, but they must pay 30% of the tax every year. If not, we will ignore it.
.”
If you want to maintain the stability of Shizhi City, you must tie up high-ranking nobles, and retaining the title is the best way.
Otherwise, there might be some trouble after he leaves.
Potala said: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Chris decided to temporarily live in Shizuo City. Now that Potala was injured and his ammunition was almost exhausted, he was very vulnerable at this time.
So he needs to be in charge, at least until the gunpowder and clay pot bombs are transported from Dawn City.
······
Cromwell and Peg ran for more than a hundred miles before finding a shady place to rest for a while.
"Damn Chris, if my brother takes action, he will definitely die without a burial place." Peg said angrily.
He did not expect that this time it would be such a disastrous defeat. Not only did he lose more than 10,000 noble knights, but also two powerful seventh-level marquises were killed, which was much more than the losses last year.
It is unimaginable how furious my father would be if he learned this news.
Cromwell smiled bitterly and said: "With the strength of that little king, he can still fight even if he faces the big prince."
"Impossible!" Peg retorted, "My eldest brother is an eighth-level knight, why should he?"
Cromwell didn't say much. He knew that if he continued to speak, the fourth prince in front of him would become anxious.
They rested for a while and continued on their way.
The two walked for more than three hours and passed a city, where they bought a sturdy BMW and rode it towards the royal capital.
The news must be sent back as soon as possible.
······
Two days later, the king was already in sight, and Peg, who was tired of his travels, had the urge to cry.
They successfully entered the royal capital and headed towards the inner city.
"Hey, Peg, aren't you leading troops to fight? Why are you back?" The eldest prince, Toronto, looked a little surprised when he saw his younger brother.
"Brother!" Peg threw herself into the arms of the eldest prince, bursting into tears.
Toronto looked at Cromwell and asked coldly: "What happened?"
Cromwell sighed and narrated in detail: "Originally, the three of us teamed up to injure Potala, and sent troops to attack the city. We were about to win. As a result, the little king Chris turned into a red giant.
The dragon suddenly came and killed me."
"Although his level is only level six, his fighting power is quite strong. Not only did he injure Arnold, but he also killed Lord Longfellow on the spot. Seeing that the situation was not good, I immediately escaped with the Fourth Highness, and the little king finally faced
Arnold gave chase and was probably brutally murdered."
Hearing Cromwell's narration, Toronto's face became ugly: "In other words, two seventh-level strong men were slaughtered by Chris, and tens of thousands of noble knights were also captured?"
Cromwell admitted with difficulty: "That's right."
Toronto took three deep breaths and tried to calm down the anger in his heart.
Peg was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe. He had never seen his quiet elder brother show such an expression.
Toronto said in a low voice: "My father is not in good health. Don't tell him the news of the defeat. Then call 10,000 knights over. I will personally lead the team to attack Stone City."
"I'm going to see how powerful this little king is."
Peg asked in surprise: "Brother, do you want to take action personally?"
"Um."
"Great, you will definitely be able to take back all the lost cities!" Peg was so excited that he almost jumped up.
Toronto fondly touched his fourth brother's head and said, "Go ahead and mobilize 10,000 knights as soon as possible. There are still more than twenty days left in the development order, and we don't have much time."
"Okay!" Peg left excitedly.
Toronto looked in the direction of Stone City and murmured: "Chris, right? Just wait for me!"
