These two men were already severely injured by Roning, and were then retaliated against twice by Carlos. At this moment, they were lying there like lost dogs.
"Ronin, what do you want?"
When Ferens saw Roning coming back, he immediately began to seek hope for his own survival. The scene in which the other party killed Andrea without hesitation was too shocking for him.
Roning walked over and squatted beside the other person, using his mental power to control Ferens to turn over. He saw a black wing tattoo on his back.
This thing is the proof of accepting the Heart of Storm and transforming into a Wind Messenger.
"When you became a foreigner and conspired with Garet and Thranduil to kill His Majesty, you should have known what the consequences would be if you failed."
"No, no, no, Ronin, as long as you are willing to let me live, my Principality of Ferensburg will be loyal to you from now on, and even support you to become the new king!"
Roning looked down at the other person with some disdain.
Even though what the other party said was true, if he really let the other party go in exchange for support, wouldn't he be associating with the aliens?
Moreover, Ronin wants to become king and bring changes to this society, and some old orders need to be broken.
For example, if he wanted to develop industry and improve productivity, the prevailing slavery would impose considerable constraints on his plans.
Using war to destroy the old class and replace it with the new helped him implement a series of policies.
In addition, Roning also thought it through.
It is possible to confer titles and reward land, but they need to be restricted.
For example, he wanted to take back the nobles' right to levy taxes, the nobles' right to enforce their own laws in their own territories, the nobles' right to conscript soldiers, and limit the number of knightly orders that the nobles could own, etc.
These reforms cannot be carried out without bloodshed.
Whenever there is a major reform in Chinese history, those who implement it will not have a good ending.
But Roning was not worried.
This is an extraordinary world. He also felt it during this incident. In the face of absolute strength, many things will become much simpler.
No matter how difficult the reform is, his life will not be in danger.
Of course, Roning will still adopt the strategy of boiling a frog in warm water and will not achieve success overnight.
He must first make his own territory well-organized and have enough talented people who are determined to carry out his will before he can better implement it.
Ta-da-da~ The sound of hurried horse hooves came from a distance, a group of people swarmed in, and at the same time, a griffin landed from the sky.
Duke Vargis sat on the back of a griffin, looking at the collapsed Hall of Alduin and the ruined square below, feeling mixed emotions.
He received a message from Garrett saying that Ronin had killed His Majesty Bruno, so he rushed over as fast as he could, but he didn't expect to see this scene.
Vargis jumped off the griffin, looked at the trapped Garrett and Ferens, and finally looked at Ronin with a frown.
"What on earth is going on?"
He asked: "Luo Ning, His Majesty is dead?"
Varghese naturally would not believe that Ronin would do something like killing Bruno. This was not in line with the latter's character and style of doing things.
Roning nodded, looked at Garrett who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, and then recounted the whole story.
"this……"
Varghese fell into a long state of shock and grief.
Bruno's death was already a dramatic change for the Kingdom of Alduin, and Garrett turned out to be the murderer of his father, which undoubtedly made the situation worse for the kingdom.
Apart from anything else, who will be the king next? Or will the Kingdom of Alduin simply split apart, with each noble seeking asylum or establishing their own king? He finally turned his gaze to Rhonin: "What are you going to do next?"
Now, of the four dukes of the Kingdom of Alduin, only Rhonin and Vargis are left. If we talk about leaders, they are more suitable.
Duke Varghese has withdrawn from the center of power over the years due to family affairs.
What's more, his grandson is still learning magic from Baierron in Wubei, and Vargis doesn't want to argue with Ronin.
Luo Ning thought for a moment and said, "As the Duke of Conqueror, I plan to invite the king's nobles or representatives to the Golden Feather Palace to try Crown Prince Garrett for patricide and treason."
Vargis hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, let's do as you say!"
He said, looking at the escort officer who had come with him: "Kane, you must return to Gistana immediately and inform Commander Nissen of what happened here, and have him strengthen the defense level of the border with the Principality of Ferensburg."
Roning nodded secretly, "Are you afraid that Ferensburg will attack your territory?"
"The behavior of aliens cannot be understood with ordinary people's logic."
Vargis explained, "Now that Ferrens has been captured, his principality will surely fall into chaos without a leader, so it is not surprising that he would launch a surprise attack on Gistana."
He reminded: "The same goes for the Principality of Vera without Andrea. They may even fall directly into the arms of the enemy."
"Andrea has already been causing trouble at the border."
Luo Ning said: "However, my grandfather has already led a team to deal with the border issues. It doesn't require the entire power of the Principality of Vera, so there shouldn't be any problem."
Even with all the strength of the country, it is impossible to gather it in a short period of time, but Roning is not worried about this.
While the two were talking, the ministers of the kingdom who had heard the news watched from a distance and did not come near, but they were talking in private.
Although the situation changed too quickly, anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance who would be the one in charge of the Kingdom of Alduin in the future.
"From now on, the kingdom will probably belong to this young conqueror duke."
Arsenault sighed. He still remembered that it was he who accompanied Bruno to discuss the appointment of Ronin as the Baron of Rapids Island.
Minister of Justice Texas shook his head. "In fact, according to the law, after the Crown Prince and Ferrens and others lost their inheritance rights, the first in line should be Princess Sharon who married Count Iben of Shuangfengling."
"In addition, Duke Vargis' wife is your Majesty's aunt. Their son also has the blood of Alduin and has the right to inherit."
This is reasonable, but when they look at Roning, will he be willing to give up?
Ronin and Vargis finished their conversation, and then the ministers of the kingdom came closer.
Arsenault said, "My Lords, on our way to the Golden Feather Palace, the entire capital was in chaos. Now that the kingdom is facing such a situation, only the two of you have the power to calm the chaos."
Roning and Vargis looked at each other. Neither of them brought any soldiers with them. It was impossible for them to suppress the chaos in a city by relying on their own strength.
"Where are the guards and garrison officers?"
Varghese asked, “They should have stayed at their posts.”
Arsenault looked at Roning hesitantly, wanting to say something.
Roning understood and thought that the garrison officer must have participated in Garrett's attack to kill him and died under his sword.
"As for Broll, let him lead the Griffin Knights and the garrison to restore order in the city."
Luo Ning suggested: "With his influence in the capital, he must know many people, so it will be easier to arrange it."
"There are two more things that need your help."
Arsenault and several other ministers nodded to show that they were listening.
"The Duke and I have already discussed that we need to convene a meeting of the kingdom's nobles to discuss the handling of the Crown Prince's affairs. I hope you two can help convey this notice."
"The second thing is His Majesty's funeral. Please hurry up and arrange it. It would be best if it were held during the nobles' meeting."
Vargis nodded and said, "Just do as Ronin says. I will go and pay my respects to His Majesty first."
Arsenault and others bowed their heads and responded.
They could see that Duke Vargis obviously had no intention of letting his only surviving son, Paradru, get his hands on the throne.
Now, the only one left is Princess Sharon of Shuangfengling.
In fact, Count Iben of Shuangfengling was in distress at the moment.
He had read the letter that Garrett had sent him countless times, but he still couldn't make up his mind.
"Should we attack the Fog City?" (End of this chapter)
