Chapter 260 Collapse



"I don't accept apologies."

So, the Viscount Silver Wing collapsed.

It must be admitted that the Slayer Figo is not only an elite senior knight, but also quite smart. Knowing that Luther had taken Thor away, he used this opportunity to empty the food and salt, and then controlled the food and salt that flowed into the Viscount's territory, causing the Viscount's territory to collapse.

However, there is usually a certain amount of stock in the homes of vassal knights and farmers, which can be plundered to last for one or two months, or even until autumn.

But credibility is something that can never be regained once it is gone.

If people know that a bank is about to fail, a run on it will occur.

When problems arose with grain and salt in Viscount Silver Wing's territory, a large number of residents began to take to the streets to buy grain and salt, but there was no supply at all.

Rumors are flying everywhere.

The Viscount offended the Earl of Windsor, so the Earl of Windsor closed the salt works.

The Viscount offended Luther Pompey, who was now the new noble of Orange, and put pressure on the grain merchants and even the Earl of Windsor.

There will no longer be salt or food in Silver Wing City.

In short, there were all kinds of rumors. The residents were uneducated and had very little political intelligence. After hearing too many rumors, they immediately fell into confusion.

First, the housing prices in Silver Wing City fell, and many residents began to sell their houses, but no one was willing to buy them. The houses could not be sold, and they were left with no food or salt to eat.

The residents in the territory began to flee and poured into the surrounding territories of the great nobles.

Although the salt wells in the Earldom of Windsor had stopped production and there was no salt in the surrounding noble territories, at least there was food and they would not starve to death.

And the salt wells will not be closed for a long time.

In just five days, the number of residents in Silver Wing City suddenly decreased by 10,000 to 20,000, and they fled Silver Wing City with their families.

The Silver Wing family's territory is on the verge of decline.

But these are not enough to damage the foundation, because although the residents left for a short period of time, their houses are still in Silver Wing City, and they can come back when the situation stabilizes.

What really damaged Silver Wing's foundation was the number of knights in the territory.

The vassal knights don't count. These knights who have actual fiefs will not easily leave their master's house. But the knights of the Guardian Knight Sequence are different. Although these knights have been loyal to the Silver Wing Family for generations, they also eat on salary.

There is definitely a slight gap in loyalty between you and your vassals.

Now the family's knight leader, the Slayer Figo, has made an all-out effort and dispatched caravans in the territory to go to more remote territories to buy a small amount of food and salt to sustain the knights' survival.

If nothing unexpected happens, the knights will remain loyal.

But the key point is that Viscount Silver Wing brought his own death upon himself.

Rebecca, Quintlen.

He is the husband of the gossip heroine whose wife was seduced by Viscount Silver Wing and who may have given birth to a daughter, according to the information Luther obtained.

The nobles in this world don't attach much importance to a woman's chastity before marriage. But things are a little different after marriage.

Except for some utilitarian people who hope to use their wives' beauty to win the favor of the powerful and are willing to give their wives away.

Most men cannot tolerate their wives having affairs with other men.

Not to mention giving birth to a daughter.

A tragedy happened in the Kintelon family today.

"What are you doing, you bastard? You actually beat your wife and daughter. I must expose you to the Viscount, you villain."

The wife was extremely angry and hysterical.

But what he got in return was Rebecca, and Quinteren hit back with even more ferocious punches.

This handsome and tall knight beat his wife until she vomited blood and no longer had the energy to curse.

"I have endured this for a long time, but I just couldn't bear to give up our family's status in the territory. Now that Viscount Silver Wing is about to be finished, I don't have to endure it anymore. Let's get a divorce, and you can live alone with this evil child."

Rebecca, Jintelen said this with a smile, then he left the Viscount Silver Wing with his wife and several other children, as well as his wealth, and headed for Pompeii.

Before this, Luther had not sent anyone to contact this knight. But this knight was well-known to the Pompeii family.

The modern Knight of Pompeii is a Grand Knight.

The next generation of Pompey Knights, Luther Pompey, was the new upstart of the entire Orange.

The Pompey family is a newly emerged family in Orange, and they should lack guard knights.

More importantly, Luther, Pompey's nickname was "The Merciful One."

Rebecca, Quintlen plans to go to Pompeii, marry a new beautiful wife and start a new life.

Under the command of such a lord, there is no need to worry about the disgusting thing of a wife committing adultery with the lord.

That's good.

That's good.

Rebecca, this is the only little wish in Jintelun's heart.

This was an opportunity that the senior knight, who had suffered humiliation but was unable to resist and could only rely on alcohol to numb himself, had been waiting for for a long time: betrayal.

The Kintelun family, to which Rebecca Kintelun belongs, is also a guardian knight who has served the Silver Wing family for many years. Rebecca Kintelun himself is a high-level knight and an important official.

His departure immediately caused the already shaken Guardian Knights to collapse. Many knights left this precarious family and headed to the surrounding territories to seek survival.

Some people went far away to the Golden City, while more people planned to serve under the nearby nobles, among which the largest number of knights flocked to the Pompeii family.

It is understandable that the residents rebelled against their lords.

Because the relationship between the residents and the lord was not particularly close. However, the guardian knight sequence that had served the Silver Wing family for generations betrayed Viscount Silver Wing one after another.

This reveals the despicable character of Viscount Silver Wing.

No matter how this matter ends, Viscount Silver Wing will surely become a laughing stock and a poor fellow in the entire Orange noble circle.

Pompeii, inside the Town Hall.

Luther and his important minister, Mayor Lelouch, hid in the mayor's office, waiting for news.

News from the front was passed down one by one, and Luther would soon meet the knights who came to Pompey's house for refuge.

Most importantly, Luther was also waiting for news of Viscount Silver Wing's death.

This is Luther's final sword, and the one who will wield it will be the New Party.

A group of thugs who, in the eyes of the nobles, wish to plunge the entire kingdom into chaos.

It will turn into a sharp blade in Luther's hand and take off the Viscount's head.
