Owen, who has always turned on the Demon King's halo, does not look like a young boy. His whole body is shrouded in shadow, exuding an aura of cruelty and fear, which makes Viscount Feilong and Kelun Si tremble uncontrollably. This has nothing to do with will, everything is
The body's instinctive reaction.
Viscount Feilong, who was bleeding from his waist, suddenly saw Death's sickle on his neck under the pressure of the Demon King's aura. He rolled his eyes and fainted.
Corens was a little better. Although he was dizzy, his hope of survival was related to him. He gritted his teeth and persisted. However, under the huge pressure, he couldn't help but began to regret his choice to surrender, because this
No matter how you look at it, you don't look like a merciful master.
"I, the noble lord of the northern border, Hydra III, hereditary viscount, accept the surrender of Swan Baron Curranth, and allow you to serve for me." Owen pondered for a moment and then took off his helmet to reveal his true face, and then put Swan Baron Curranth in his hands.
Si's stabbing sword was returned to him, and this move immediately made Kelunsi breathe a sigh of relief.
Curranth was a little surprised at first about Owen's identity, but after thinking about it, he didn't think there was any problem. After all, there are only a few lords in this damn place, and the four of them have joined forces. Now two are dead and one is about to die.
, he and the Hydera family are the only ones left, so no matter how unbelievable it is, it will be the only answer, and this is why Owen chose to reveal his identity.
As for whether commanding goblins to kill humans is evil or not, will it be used as a basis? In fact, this kind of thing is not a problem for the nobles at all. Even Corens does not think it is a basis for it, because for the nobles, they only have two powers.
There are two kinds of power, one is used by oneself, and the other is not used by the Viscount. As for what the power is and whether it is evil or not, it actually doesn't matter at all.
Next, Irving personally killed Viscount Feilong, whose name he didn't even have time to name, and left Curranth behind.
As for why he killed Viscount Feilong but accepted the surrender of Baron Swan, there were only two people alive. When one of them had to be chopped to death, he was the only one. After all, looking at the condition of Viscount Feilong’s waist, he probably wouldn’t have been chopped off on the spot.
You won't live long if you die.
At the same time, Owen's reason for doing this was to try to improve the system's progress value, so he killed one and lowered it. However, it was different for Corens, because he could survive and get a good result.
Fortunately, the other party was also from an imperial noble family. If he had met other northern border nobles, Corens knew that he would have been hacked to death long ago.
The difference is mainly due to the fact that after a long period of time, the internal rules of the imperial nobility have been relatively perfected.
This rule also applies to Curranth. When he chooses to surrender, it means that he has given up his sovereignty. Because of the gap in titles between the two sides, when Owen returns his sword to him, it means that he has accepted his surrender. This is also true.
It has the effect of an oath.
However, with the stability and solidification of the aristocratic class, coupled with the continuous marriages and interest exchanges between them, the struggle between the aristocrats gradually evolved a relatively mature set of rules to ensure that the fight would not expand and avoid affecting the overall situation.
Interests.
In fact, the nobles within the empire rarely use force nowadays. War is only a last resort. Even assassination and poisoning are regarded as unfashionable and even rejected by the mainstream.
The big nobles who can influence the operation of the empire don't need to use this method at all. If they tell you to die, you have to die, or they will send your entire family on the road.
At that time, as long as the nobles could win, no one cared what means they used.
In the empire, if the defeated noble does not give up revenge, the winner has the right to kill the other person. However, if the other person swears to give up revenge, then he cannot kill him and has to let the other person's family live.
Although the purpose of this set of rules is to try to avoid attrition within the nobility, it does not mean that killing is completely abandoned. For example, what hatred can be used and what methods can be used, such as treatment after surrender, etc., there are corresponding rules.
As for assassination and poisoning, these are unscrupulous methods only used by small nobles. As for leading troops to fight, it is even more the behavior of barbarians.
For example, the hatred between Viscount Feilong and Owen is a feud. You can use any method, including killing the opponent after surrendering, and you will not be condemned for it.
There was definitely no harmony between the nobles. In fact, the early struggles between the nobles were very cruel and direct. Poisoning, assassination, trickery, war, all were used. They even dragged their opponents directly into the bushes during banquets and raped them.
It is not uncommon for people to use poison and claim that the other person committed suicide.
Of course, this set of rules is a tacit understanding between the imperial nobles due to mutual constraints for a long time. There is no market for the northern border nobles here. Even the vast majority of the northern border nobles do not know this set of so-called rules at all. Even if they know it,
I'm afraid they will also sneer at it. After all, for the northern nobles who are accustomed to bandits, killing them all, robbing them all, and burning them all are the most direct methods. The imperial nobles have already passed this period and can wash away the blood and dirt on their bodies.
Ni, wiped the corners of his mouth and retracted his fangs, making an elegant gesture, despising the barbarism of the northern nobles.
The battle was over, and Owen asked the Goblin witch doctor to treat the magic horn tree poison on Corens. Then he heard the sound of biting and the excited noises of the Goblins coming from the camp not far away.
Nowadays, the great nobles in the imperial capital have become accustomed to using political means to achieve their goals. This method is like using leverage, with low investment and high returns. Every word and deed can even affect the entire empire. It is regarded by the nobles as the most elegant art and the ultimate
Target.
Even if you can fight, so what? Can you defeat countless strong men in the empire?
So what if he has many elite soldiers and generals under his command, can he defeat the imperial army?
In this way, the rules of the aristocratic class become more stable and in-depth.
But if you can kill Viscount Feilong, you can't kill the other person's family unless the other person refuses to swear to give up revenge.
This move is mainly to preserve the noble bloodline as much as possible, but don't think that the oath is just a casual talk. Once you swear to give up hatred, the loser cannot take any form of revenge on the victor afterwards. Otherwise, the victor has the right to
Anyone who takes any means and violates the oath will become the enemy of all nobles. Even if he does not take action directly, the various targets alone are enough to make the other party want to die.
Goblins are not vegetarian animals. They also like human food, not to mention the weapons, food, tents, clothing, and even a spoon in the camp. They are all good things to them and are the targets of mutual competition.
.
"Everything in the camp will be rewarded to you. Don't stay too long. Take all the goblins back to the Devil's Horn Forest after dawn." Owen knew very well what was happening in the camp, but he had no intention of stopping it.
The Demon Horned Goblin was not summoned by him through the system, and he has no loyalty to him. If he steps forward to stop him, even if he relies on the Goblin General and his own Demon King aura to achieve his goal, there will still be hidden dangers, so instead of
It's thankless, so it's better to pretend not to see it, after all, it's not him who suffers.
The Goblin General took the order to control the horned goblins who were scratching too much. Because too many elite goblins were killed in the battle, the effect was not very good. The Goblin General hacked to death several of them before he managed to do it.
Order these horned goblins to carry supplies back to the forest.
