As early as fifteen days ago, the sergeant major had seen this style of armor. However, at that time, there were hundreds or even thousands of Cloud Giants wearing this kind of armor. And they were all just serving as the backdrop for the ruling Duke Muria.
It's just that, in terms of majesty, it can't compare to those storm giants riding giant rocs.
But when he saw the inconspicuous cloud giant actually appearing in front of him through the magic images relayed from the royal capital, the sergeant major felt that his legs were trembling and he was a little unsteady on his feet.
It was too late to say anything at this time. He could only watch helplessly as the cloud giant destroyed the castle where he was loyal to his lord, and then captured the lord who was extremely noble in his eyes like a bug.
From the beginning to the end, the sergeant did not move. He did not dare. The giant with a height of fifteen meters had the power to make people lose all their courage just by standing, not to mention his current weapon.
The twisted heavy sword lay on the ground beside him, reminding him of the Yun Giant's terrifying power.
"What do you want to do? I am a noble of the Rockman Kingdom, how dare you do this to me."
At this time, the Cloud Giant broke open the simple and low small castle and took it out. The nobleman in his hand screamed in fear. He was really scared. Anyone sitting at home would be beaten.
If a giant took it out and held it in his hand, it would not be any better than him.
"You still know that you are a noble of the Lockman Kingdom? Why don't you obey the orders of the Grand Duke of Muria?"
The Cloud Giant asked. He was the Cloud Giant assigned to this city to arrest him. He was the only one. After all, he was just an ordinary human viscount. Even if he gathered all the strength under his command, he would not be able to resist him at all.
However, before arresting him, he still needs to conceal his identity and confirm whether this person is the kind of noble who does not respect the king's orders as described in the list. Only after confirmation can the arrest be carried out.
"I..." Hearing Giant Yun's question, the nobleman spoke regretfully and wanted to explain, but unfortunately Giant Yun didn't give him a chance to explain, or it was useless to explain. He was only responsible for arresting
of.
"Okay, I don't need to say any unnecessary nonsense. I'll save it for you to explain it to your executioner after you get to the royal city."
...Similar scenes occurred all over the Rockman Kingdom. After the twelve giant commanders got the list, they immediately began to assign tasks, and then all the giants who received the tasks set out together. After confirming that the target was indeed disrespecting the king's order, they immediately
Carry out capture.
This is only a small part of the nobility of Rockman Kingdom. Their own strength and strength belong to the lowest group. They are mainly low-level nobles such as barons and viscounts. The highest is no more than earls. They can be solved easily.
To be honest, even if those barons and viscounts disobeyed his orders, they actually came to the royal city in person, participated in his ruling ceremony, and witnessed his majesty. This made Muria a little confused. Such a brain.
Show off?
Didn't you know that I could kill you by just sending a cloud giant? Even if you are ignorant, you should be on par with those legendary Dukes and those Soul Marquises. They all obeyed honestly. What are you doing?
strength.
After arresting all the rebellious nobles according to the list and bringing them to the royal city, Muria sent people to interrogate these nobles and ask why they had the courage to resist and disobey their orders.
Well, some people think that the ruling Duke of Muria is temporary and will leave sooner or later. Princess Remilia will take over when the time comes, so don't worry about it.
Some people think that Muria is a golden dragon, and even if he offends him, he will not end up too miserable. If he begs for mercy, he can be exempted from the crime and suffer a less severe punishment.
The last group of people just think that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and they take a chance. Even if they, a small lord, do not obey the decree and do not implement the new tax law, it will not be a big deal. The ruling prince will definitely not notice them.
After asking for the reason, Muria had no choice but to give all these nobles to the dragon-born maid Mia, and let her do whatever she wanted. What would nobles who do not respect the king's orders do with them?
Then, the civilians living in the royal capital discovered that on the third day after the great ruling archduke brought back more than a hundred cloud islands, hundreds of more tragically dead people appeared on the landscape trees outside the city.
Corpses.
The most amazing thing is that these corpses hanging on the trees are all wearing silk and satin, which are clothes that only nobles and wealthy businessmen can afford.
When these corpses were first discovered, the passing caravans and adventurers were originally curious about the identities of these nobles. After the news spread, it attracted residents of the city who ran out of the city to watch.
Finally, someone discovered that there was a wooden sign inserted next to these corpses, which recorded the identity of the corpse and what evil deeds it had done. Anyway, it was written specifically to find bad things.
In fact, few of these nobles can do good things. A brief description of their life stories is enough to arouse curses and resentment from people who pass by.
When it became clear that those who were hung on the tree by Muria were nobles, the royal city instantly boiled and caused a sensation. Countless citizens rushed out of the city to watch. Since the founding of the Rockman Kingdom, no king has been killed at once.
Killing so many nobles, and hanging them on a tree after killing them.
Regardless of the commotion outside or their comments about him, Muria sat on the throne of the council hall, looked at these trembling noble officials, and asked: "Have the nobles' territories arranged for officials to take office?"
"To inform the Grand Duke, all officials have been arranged and have set off to take up their posts in those rebellious territories. It won't be long before these territories are all under the control of the kingdom."
"Yeah! That's good." Muria nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered: "Keep an eye on the implementation of the new tax law at any time, report what you think is unreasonable, and let the data speak for itself."
...The next three months were much calmer, and Muria never made any trouble again, such as massacring three hundred powerful nobles at once.
Until one day, after receiving a report for the hundreds of times about a genius girl causing trouble in a certain place, Muria had a new idea. Sitting on the desk, Muria rubbed his brow with a headache.
"Too many geniuses is not a good thing. Young people are too energetic and are young and promising, so it is too easy to cause trouble.
The aristocratic geniuses are better, with family constraints and guidance, but the civilian geniuses are really troublesome. They don't have much to worry about, but they are powerful. They have to find a way to register and manage these wild geniuses.
Well, young people like to pursue fame and fortune. I promise you fame and give you fortune, but I don't believe that you are dishonest."
