Chapter 158: Say hello to Duke Rosen for me (23)



Aaron.

Lion Castle.

The door of the King's government study was closed.

There are two people at the door.

One of them was naturally Dange, and the other was a female magician.

This female mage had thick long brown hair, a pair of strange deep golden eyes, skin as white as milk, and wore a white vest and breeches inside and an officer's windbreaker with gold edges on the outside. In her hand, she held an envoy's ceremonial staff carved from white jade and gold.

She has a charming temperament and a heroic appearance.

In addition, one can clearly feel the strange power bubbling up within his body.

She just stood there, and the study room, which originally seemed a little dim, gave people a very bright and cheerful feeling.

"Ms. Irene, I summoned you this time to discuss with you the dispute between our two countries in the Giant Fortress."

Danger said so.

The woman called Irene fiddled with the ceremonial staff in her hand with deft fingers, somewhat nonchalantly.

"Your Majesty, I think there is nothing much to discuss between us before the outcome of the battlefield becomes clear."

Her attitude was somewhat rude. If it were an envoy from any other kingdom, Dange would have been furious, but not this person.

She came from the Glorious Empire, was a master of magic at the peak of the fourth ring, and was also a member of the royal family, the cousin of Queen Zhuoya.

She has the right to say that.

Danger pointed to a scroll on the table and said, "Ms. Irene, perhaps you should take a look at the contents of this document."

Ms. Irene pointed at the scroll, observed it carefully, and smiled: "Technical information of the rotary blade aircraft. Hehehe~ Your Majesty, your gift is not light."

The so-called rotary blade aircraft was initially inspired by fallen leaves.

A wizard has discovered that fallen leaves of certain shapes will naturally rotate as they fall, and the falling trajectory of such rotating leaves will be particularly stable.

So, some wizards tried to make the leaves rotate in the opposite direction. As a result, leaves of certain shapes were able to follow the falling trajectory and fly back up to the sky.

And the trajectory remains very stable.

Based on this, a new idea of ​​flying magic tools was formed.

Flying in the sky for a long time like a bird is a key breakthrough project for all countries.

Because any battlefield commander with a normal mind knows the huge role of flying troops on the battlefield.

Reconnaissance, supply delivery, high-speed assault and decapitation, etc., it is simply an all-purpose military branch.

As for the field of rotary blade aircraft, Aaron has done extremely in-depth research. Although he may not be ahead of the Glorious Empire, his strengths and weaknesses are enough to greatly accelerate the Glorious Empire's progress in rotary blade aircraft.

Of course, the scroll only records an introduction to the technology. If you want to get the real thing, you have to meet King Aaron's conditions.

"What would your majesty like to exchange this information for?"

Danger said, "In exchange for a year of peace in the Giant Fortress."

"Your Majesty has a big appetite. This little bit is not enough."

Danger smiled faintly.

"The Holy Elf Empire has put a lot of pressure on Her Majesty the Queen. The Elf Empire is in its heyday and will definitely move eastward again."

"If Her Majesty the Queen agrees to my terms now, then if Her Majesty needs it someday in the future, I, Aaron, can also provide Her Majesty with some assistance from behind instead of stabbing her with a dagger."

These words immediately made Irene put away her careless expression: "Your Majesty Dange, you know a lot."

Just as she was about to say this, there was a knock on the study door. The frequency was three knocks and one light knock, indicating a very urgent situation.

"Come in!"

The door opened, and Weilan's telepathic mage hurried in. He first glanced at Ms. Irene, and some hesitation suddenly appeared on his face.

Irene immediately said, "Then I will withdraw first."

Danger thought about it and felt that he should show his sincerity, so he said, "No need, Ms. Irene, you must know this."

"Sarant, just say it."

In this case, Ms. Irene walked to the wall and became an audience member.

The telepathic mage Salant immediately reported: "Your Majesty, Weilan is in an emergency."

Danger felt his brows furrowed: "Speak."

"A mutiny broke out in the cotton-rich Oran County, located at Cape Hope. A large number of middle and lower-level soldiers rushed into Earl Riat's castle and killed the entire Earl's family, even the baby in the cradle was not spared!"

Danger's hands shook violently when he heard this: "A rebellion broke out so soon?!"

Chaos means the collapse of social order, which will naturally give rise to various illegal local armed forces, and the emergence of more and more rebels is inevitable.

But isn’t it too fast? Only seven days have passed since Prince Kao entered Dawn City!

"What's going on?"

"Because Baron White Pelican issued a document called the Notice of Transfer of Debts of Weilan Civilians."

"The announcement said that since Duke Reid ignored the serious dereliction of duty of Dawn Bank and took the initiative to flee Dawn Castle, he completely abandoned his obligations as Duke of Dawn, so he is deemed to have automatically given up his dukedom."

Upon hearing this, Dange began to think of dragging Reid out of the Red Castle and chopping him into paste.

"The announcement also stated that the Earl of Southern County ignored the legitimate interests of the citizens of Weilan, enclosed land and exploited the citizens for a long time, and completely failed to fulfill his obligation as a lord to protect his people. Therefore, he is considered an illegal lord."

"The proclamation declares the Southern Count guilty and anyone can execute him. It also declares the Count's property to be confiscated and that his property will be shared by all citizens of Veran."

Danger's eyelids twitched when he heard this: "When the Baron said this, did those people really listen to him?"

How can a baron from an island judge the earl? !

Even if he married Princess Chenxi, he was still a baron, and his territory was still just a small white sturgeon island!

The messenger mage sighed.

"The last item of the announcement is that all the Dawn Bank deposit certificates held by Weilan citizens are recognized as valid, including the fake certificates forged by the Levender royal family."

"Baron Sturgeon Island promised to open the 'Welan Citizen Bank', which will replace the Dawn Bank to provide deposit certificate exchange services for Welan citizens. At the same time, the bank will collect debts from the Levender Royal Family on behalf of Welan citizens."

Danger's hands were shaking when he heard this, and he looked incredulous: "This amount of money is at least 30 million Oggs. How can a small baron like him exchange it?"

"Why can he confiscate the earl's property with just a proclamation? Why does he dare to collect debts from the Royal Family of Levender?"

Ms. Irene standing by also looked curious.

She knew that things were quite chaotic in Weilan recently, and there was a little baron who was very jumpy, but she didn't expect that he would go to such an extent that he even dared to destroy the Earl's family.

This seems to be extremely chaotic, and this little baron seems to be no ordinary person either.

The messenger mage whispered, "Probably because the Baron of Sturgeon Island showed off a terrifying new weapon!"

Without waiting for the king to ask, he began to describe the new weapon.

"It is a flying magical weapon that flies extremely fast and is also very large."

"It was made of metal, yet it streaked across the sky like lightning. Compared to it, the fastest horse would be as slow as a snail."

“The earls wanted to attack the magic weapon, but this magic weapon flew very high, its defense was amazing, and its attack power was also terrifying.”

"It carries an extremely powerful spiritual weapon. With one swoop, the thousands of soldiers guarding the Earl's castle either faint or run around like frightened sheep."

"Click~~"

Dange lost his grip on the pen and it fell onto the table.

"Such a powerful flying magic weapon?"

He immediately looked at Ms. Irene and said, "Ma'am, it's not you who are here to support us, is it?"

As a result, he saw that the other party was also shocked.

Irene was really shocked. Although they had flying magic tools in their country, they were far from being as powerful as described by the communication wizard.

It’s not that fast, and there is no spiritual weapon that can deal with thousands of soldiers, nor is there the ability to sail around the giant island of Weilan.

This is a flight range of at least 2,000 kilometers!

As she listened to the news, she suddenly felt that this baron was a little scary! The messenger mage didn't know what the king was thinking, and he whispered, "In short, now the southern part of Weilan has generally recognized the absolute authority of the Baron of White Sturgeon Island and regarded him as the Lord of Weilan!"

Dange was shocked again: "Lord of Weilan? Shouldn't the Lord of Weilan be Princess Chenxi?"

The messenger mage smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, the people of Weilan clearly recognize the Baron more than Princess Dawn. Obviously, this is to build momentum for the Baron to ascend to the throne."

Dange's heart tightened when he heard this. He carefully recalled the information he had heard about the Baron of White Sturgeon Island during this period, and gradually he could see clearly the other party's action trajectory.

He finally understood: "Since the pearl jewelry four months ago, he has been plotting to seize Weilan!"

From then on, he must have calculated everything that happened next and moved forward step by step, and Reid, the waste, was his prey.

This piece of trash was like a snail without eyes or ears. He fell into the trap set for him little by little. Even his every reaction was predicted by the other party, who then made the best response strategy.

"Debt transfer announcement~~~Haha~~~Using the Earl's money to fill the hole in Dawn Bank, haha~~What a good plan!"

The money of the Earl of the South actually belongs to Aaron, which means he is using Aaron's money to be a good person! With the last line as a backup, there will be no obstacles to everything ahead.

In other words, Oran was the first earl to be killed, but by no means the last.

I'm afraid all the earls and lords in the south of Weilan will be killed!

These lords were Aaron's carefully trained hunting dogs. It was a pity to eliminate them just like that. Danger wanted to rescue them.

Whether the people can be rescued is another matter, but the money must be rescued! However, the 200-kilometer strait has become an insurmountable barrier.

The opponent's actions were too fast. By the time Aaron's army arrived, it would be too late.

But no matter what, he had to send troops to rescue them.

Save as many as possible.

But while his thoughts were still turning, new information from Weilan arrived, which was about a new telepathic mage.

Due to Weilan's complicated situation, five mental communication lines have been opened.

The telepathic mage said: "Your Majesty, the earls of fourteen counties in the fifteen southern counties and thirty-two ancient nobles are all gone."

Danger almost jumped up when he heard this: "What?!"

This move is too fast!

Ms. Irene was also shocked and straightened her back, her deep golden eyes widened.

Danger even choked on his own saliva and coughed awkwardly: "Master, you better not have sent the wrong message!"

The new transmission wizard sighed and said, "Your Majesty, I have confirmed it three times. There is no mistake. Not a single earl survived. They were all killed, including the youngest child."

"The same is true for the 32 great nobles. The largest of them is the Shahram family of Dawn City."

"The Shahram family? The one that started the Victory Chess Tournament? Is he finished too?"

"Yes, it's over. The whole family is finished."

"Master Shahram's body was hung on a street lamp near Glory Square. His clothes were gone, his body was covered with wounds, and even his toys were cut off. He suffered great humiliation before his death."

Dange's hands were shaking. For some reason, he felt envious at the same time as he was shocked.

"What a cruel baron! What a ruthless method!"

He had always wanted to do this, but he didn't dare to do it because once he took action, his body would be hung on a street lamp like Shahram's the next day.

After envy comes fear.

"Weilan is completely out of control. There is no chance of getting it back unless the Baron dies."

Dange wanted to send an assassination team, but then gave up the idea.

It was not because of fear of the blessing of Sage Levin, but because of fear of the Baron himself.

The man who could predict everything, finally launch the attack like thunder and lightning, and finally succeed in capturing Weilan must also be on guard against his assassination.

The assassination will most likely not succeed, and will instead bring the relationship between the two parties to a complete dead end.

As for that terrifying flying magic weapon, we must investigate it carefully and come up with a response strategy.

Otherwise, I won’t even be able to sleep peacefully.

After three full minutes of silence, Danger called out to his chief steward again: "Alai!"

Alai came in and called out, "My respected lion king."

"Go and call Master Schmidt over."

Then he turned to Ms. Irene and said, "Ma'am, I think you must have a lot of news to report back to the country, right?"

Ms. Irene nodded: "That's right."

She turned and left.

Soon, Master Schmidt arrived.

Danger issued a secret order.

"Go to the Red Castle and tie up Reid. You will personally deliver him to the White Sturgeon Island and to Baron Rosen, and say that this is my apology gift to him."

Master Schmidt was startled: "Ryder? Is it Duke of Dawn Ryder?"

"right."

"But why apologize to the Baron, Sire?"

"Apologize for ever coveting his wife."

"His Majesty?!"

Schmidt suspected he had heard wrongly.

The tall and strong Dange leaned his hands on the desk like a defeated lion.

"Go ahead, Schmidt, and give my regards to Rosen. No, I should say, give my regards to Duke Rosen."
