"Lord Marquis! The Vasco family has been attacked by the Northern Army. The entire Vasco family has been massacred by the Northern Army."
"Your Majesty the Marquis! The Northern Army has surrounded us, and the messenger sent out to negotiate was shot to death by random arrows from the Northern Army."
"Father, what are we going to do?"
At this time, bad news came back to the Marquis of Buchan's house one after another. At this time, the old Marquis's sons were all wearing armor and holding swords, and were armed to the teeth.
Although their talents were not as good as those of the old Marquis, they still benefited from the recovery of magic power. In addition, they made several sacrifices to Diabo and gained a lot of benefits.
These core members of the Bakken family are at least at the level of knights, and they are already masters. If placed in the garrison, they are qualified to be a legion commander.
The remaining dozens of men from the Bakken family, except for those who are underage, are less talented and are at least at the level of knights.
Bloodline nobles are generally cruel in character and are not qualified rulers. There is a reason why they were able to rule humans for hundreds of years after the collapse of the Elf Empire.
At least in terms of force, the bloodline nobles have an overwhelming advantage.
This group of masters, plus the hundreds of soldiers maintained by the Marquis Mansion at this time, should have been a strong armed force. With their strength.
After Thor died in battle and all the dragon knights were lost, as long as Lord Qing in the palace didn't take action, Ren would have to break his teeth if he tried to touch them.
Originally, the Golden Dragon Kingdom had always had a powerful royal family that could always dominate the nobles. However, after a great war and several changes, the Charman family and the nobles below have actually formed a balance of power.
As soon as the Buchan family and other nobles unite, they should rest easy. Even if it continues to develop, the nobles will gradually rise and the royal family will be weakened, creating a situation where the powerful family will overwhelm the royal power.
It's just that it's not Ren's Imperial Guards who are taking action now, but Richard, the leader of the Northland army who should have more common interests with them.
The powerful Northland Army and the currently weak Charman family are completely different things. The rumored Holy King of the Northland alone is enough for them to be afraid of, not to mention that there are many giants in the Northland that are several times the number of the Kingdom.
dragon.
This was even more terrifying than the previously powerful Charman family. The original idea was to use the Northland Army's knife to test out the royal family's trump card. Unexpectedly, the knife suddenly changed its direction in the air. It did not hit the royal family, but instead
He turned around and cut himself.
Facing the Northland Army, which was obviously coming with bad intentions, the Buchan family were a little panicked.
"Why panic? Haven't the Northland Army not invaded yet?"
At this time, the killings in Nancheng had been going on for half a day, and the nobles on the list might all be removed after today.
These nobles who have been in the upper echelons of the kingdom for hundreds of years are not without any background. During the entire purge process, seven or eight masters of the earth level emerged. There was even a master of the pinnacle of the earth level who emerged from one of the palaces.
, with a magic weapon left over from the Elf Empire period, he briefly displayed his sky-level combat power.
Counting the families whose property was confiscated and demoted to commoners, at least half of the entire royal capital's nobles were implicated.
The Bakken family was also involved in the attack on the King of the North. Judging from the current situation, the Bakken family is not even qualified to be demoted as prisoners and sent to the army. They should be directly exterminated.
How could you not panic?
However, as the backbone of the Buchan family and the old Marquis who has controlled the Buchan family for decades, no matter what he is thinking at this time, he cannot show panic, otherwise his morale will completely collapse.
"Since the King of the North is here as a guest, our Bakken family should also behave like the master's family."
"Xiao Qi, go take out that thing from the basement."
"ah?"
"Yes, Grandpa!"
The full name of the young man whose name was called is Silbakken.
This young man from the Buchan family is not very old, but he is extremely talented. He is a leader among the younger generation of the Buchan family.
Although he is the seventh oldest among the young people, he is the most powerful being. He successfully advanced to become a knight when he was in his twenties, just two years later than Richard. He was a famous genius in the capital before.
In recent years, after the recovery of magic power and the awakening of the blood in the body, the strength has improved even further. With the training resources of the Bakken family, he has directly stepped into the level of the great knight level, which has surpassed many people of the older generation of the Bakken family. It is the Bakken family.
One of the core values cultivated by the Ken family.
Of course he was extremely familiar with the affairs of the Buchan family. Many people present were confused about what the old Marquis asked him to pick up, but he knew what it was.
That thing was so special that when the old Marquis mentioned it, Searle was stunned. It wasn't until the old Marquis looked at him with a firm look that Searle reacted and hurriedly turned around and went to the underground secret room of Buchan's house.
Go.
"Go and open the door. The King of the North is such a noble person. He comes to our Bakken house as a guest, and we keep the door closed. What does it look like?"
Everyone subconsciously responded with a yes, and soldiers immediately went to open the door, completely forgetting who ordered the door to be closed and ready to stand.
The majesty of the old Marquis, coupled with the fact that everyone in the Buchan family was in a state of panic, made everyone subconsciously act according to the order.
"Come on, come with me to greet Lord Richard."
"yes!"
Seeing Syl leave, the old Marquis greeted everyone, turned around and walked towards the door.
The old Marquis still walked at the front in his casual brocade clothes, looking calm and composed. Anyway, at the level of Sky Level, ordinary armors and even high-quality products produced by dwarves would have little impact on him.
Even wearing a suit of armor may affect your movement.
Only a few personal guards carried a bright red giant sword for Old Bakken and followed him.
The steps of the few guards carrying the giant sword were heavy, and one could tell at a glance that the weight of this sword was not light.
The other members of the Bakken family didn't have any opinions. As soon as Old Bakken left, they all followed him towards the door.
"Zhizhi..."
"General, someone seems to have come out!"
As the heavy wooden door of Buchan's house slowly opened, sharp-eyed Northland Army soldiers saw the crowd of people walking out.
The flag captain responsible for sealing the main gate of the Bakken family had the strength of a great knight, and his eyesight was clear. Of course, he also saw the people slowly coming out from inside. Gu
"Don't worry about them. Send someone to report to Lord Richard immediately."
"Be careful. As soon as they cross the line, shoot arrows. No one is allowed to escape."
"Yes, General!"
The Bakken House covers a large area and is built in a castle style. It is larger than ordinary noble mansions and has certain military defense capabilities. The Northland Army sent tens of thousands of people to surround the Bakken House.
They had been making preparations and were only waiting for an order to launch an attack. The heavy iron-clad wooden door was one of the main directions of attack. Even the medium-sized assault vehicles used for siege were pulled up. Unexpectedly, the opponent actually opened the door on his own initiative.
.
While the entire Northland Army was on alert in the front, an old man in regular clothes walked out of the gate, followed by some heavily armed soldiers.
The old man walked about ten meters out of the gate and stopped next to a body shot to death by the North Army. Then he said in the direction of the North Army:
"I don't know what my Bakken family has done to offend the King of the North, causing the King of the North to mobilize troops and mobilize people like this."
"Lord Richard, that person is the Marquis of Buchan!"
At this time, Richard had arrived around the Bakken House, and of course he saw the scene at the gate.
Wallis, the leader of the black prison on the side, identified the leader, Marquis Buchan, for Richard.
"You do have some magnanimity, much better than those trash guys before."
Although the Marquis of Buchan is old and has gray hair on his temples, his physique is very strong and he walks with a graceful pace. He does not appear to be old and frail at all. Compared with the pot-bellied knights he saw before, he has a different image.
How much better.
He looked at the corpses on the side as if they were nothing, showed no fear in the face of the powerful Northland Army, and had the confidence and air of having been in a high position for a long time. At first glance, he could be called a hero.
"This old Bakken is just a bit ruthless and ruthless. How can he compare to the hero of the King of the North?"
"Hahaha, Lord Wallis, there is no need to deliberately belittle this old Bakken. There is such a person among the blood nobles, and His Majesty must be very uneasy."
After the bloodline nobles gradually regained their bloodline power after the recovery of their magic power, they tended to stick together. There was also a figure like Old Bakken who could take the lead, which of course gave Ren a headache.
But no matter how troublesome it is, there is no way around it. The one who gives His Majesty Ren the biggest headache is not yourself, Sir Richard, right?
However, Wallis did not dare to say this directly to Richard, so he could only laugh and try to get over it.
"However, His Majesty's methods are cruel and he is not very friendly to the nobles. Lord Wallis is an earl and his family is in the southern city..."
"What Your Majesty doesn't like is just these people who are just eating corpses and doing nothing but harm to the kingdom."
"My family does not invade the land, is not greedy for the kingdom's interests, and is loyal to His Majesty. Of course, this is not included."
When it came to this topic, the leader of the black prison suddenly became serious, and his words were no longer as flattering as before, and even a little stiff.
Whether these words came from sincerity or out of fear, I am afraid only he himself knows.
Standing on the shoulders of those in front of him, Richard could see things more clearly than Wallis.
Dealing with these rising bloodline aristocrats is nothing more than hunting rabbits. Renn is using his hands to scrape the bones and cure the poison.
In the kingdom for hundreds of years, the power of the nobles has been growing day by day. Even with the pressure of the Dragon Knights of the Kingdom, the nobles of the Golden Dragon Kingdom have also shown a tendency to become cliques.
After the war with the orcs, most of the order was destroyed, and the kingdom's power suffered a major decline, and this trend was accelerated.
Like the south, the regular legions that the kingdom can directly control have been basically demobilized. When Parley first arrived in Posey City, government orders could hardly leave the city. Even now, rebellions occur from time to time, and there are even more nobles in the south who obey their orders in secret.
A hundred years ago, this would have been an unimaginable phenomenon.
After a secret chat between Ren and Richard, they decided that Richard and Ren would cooperate once.
It is today that the horse tramples the nobles.
Only the big nobles who were close to the Charlemagne family on weekdays could escape the disaster, but they would have to cough up a lot of benefits afterwards.
Only when a large number of benefits are vacated can a little vitality be injected into the human kingdom that has fallen into stagnant water and is struggling to struggle.
"Sir Richard, it seems that Old Bakken wants to see you."
At this time, Old Bakken was still standing in front of the gate and wanted to see Richard. Although he had been waiting for a long time, he did not dare to show any impatience.
His respectful and calm demeanor is completely different from his usually violent and cruel temper.
But he is well versed in the principle of being able to bend and stretch, and he is indeed a character.
However, although Richard praised the other party, he had no intention of giving him face.
He only replied calmly to Wallis:
"If he wants to see me, should I see him?"
Then, Richard turned to Quill and ordered:
"Now that he's out, let's test his quality. Order the troops to fire arrows and prepare to attack. I want to see what this blood noble has to be afraid of."
