MTL - Heroes of Silver Moon-Chapter 649 :deterrence

"You know, don't you?" In a mansion in the noble district, a bunch of lords gathered here.

The aristocratic class is intertwined. Just after Simon finished the cabinet meeting last night, they learned all the content. The key to the discussion at this gathering was the relocation of the people.

Everything else is fine, except for this matter, they are naturally on the opposite side of Simon, because this seriously damages the interests of some of them.

"Relocate the people, move the people away, what should we lords do?"

"There is also the matter of replacing the territory. A town can only replace one manor. What is the difference between this and Ming Qiang? It must be replaced in equal amounts!"

"That's right, as a king, he is obliged to defend the country and give up the area north of the Ye Lin River. How dare he speak up!" The lords whose fiefdoms were located north of the Ye Lin River accused one after another.

If they really follow Simon's plan, they will immediately become depressed, and all the family property they have accumulated with great difficulty will be destroyed in one fell swoop.

The lords whose fiefs are not north of the Ye Lin River didn't react that much, and it's none of their business anyway.

"Marquis Sissoko, what do you think?" Marquis Hood looked at Mikkel.

After confirming that both his father and grandfather were killed in battle, he spontaneously inherited the title of Marquis and became the current Marquis of Sissoko.

Mikil was very silent. In the battle of Yelinhe, the Sissoko family saved the defeat, and thought they would be rewarded.

Unexpectedly, Simon would actually give up the land north of the Ye Lin River.

Among the 20 fiefdoms of the Sissoko family, 15 of them are all north of the Yelin River. Once they give up, their leading lord family will be reduced to the most ordinary lord family.

The accumulation of the ancestors for more than two thousand years disappeared in an instant.

"Look again!" Mikel sighed.

Only when one is truly in charge of the family can one truly understand the weight of responsibility. As long as one wrong decision is made, the entire family will be doomed forever.

"Oh? Let's see again?" Marquis Hood seemed a little surprised. He thought that the newly appointed Marquis Sissoko would be furious and immediately go to the king to reason.

The quarrel of the lords made Mikil a little upset, so he simply closed his eyes and thought quietly.

Marquis Hood also fell into deep thought, abandoning the north of the Yelin River. From the perspective of the kingdom alone, avoiding the continuous bloodletting by the orcs is naturally a good thing.

Only the lords whose fiefdoms are north of the Ye Lin River feel that doing so will make the lords unite against it.

But in fact, these lords south of the Yelin River are eager to give up that place as soon as possible. The province is dragged down, and the fief is not there, so it's none of their business.

The Hisok family, with most of their fiefs north of the Yelin River, are hesitating and waiting to see. Why should he, a Hood family in Central Crescent County, stand up for these people.

Therefore, the protests and struggles of these lords are doomed to be useless, because it is not the king who wants to sacrifice their interests, but the entire kingdom has to sacrifice them!

 …

"The orc army has already retreated, why are you still closing the city, let us go out!" At the gate of the city, countless nobles and people gathered, clamoring to leave the city.

When the orc army came, of course the king's capital was the safest, but without the threat of the orc army, they would of course have to return to their original place, and there were still a lot of things waiting to be dealt with.

"His Majesty the King has ordered that in order to prevent the orcs from counterattacking, the capital of the king will be sealed off for seven days, and no one will be allowed to enter." The soldier at the city gate also replied with a cold face.

"Damn it, we have to go back as soon as possible!" A lord north of the Ye Lin River said anxiously.

The next biggest thing for the Silvermoon Kingdom is the plan to relocate the people. Now both the Sissoko family and the Hood family have chosen to wait and see. They must return to the fief as soon as possible and unite together.

If you want to change the king's mind, maybe you can only rely on the sword in your hand!

"Go to His Royal Highness Kleist, I don't trust an outsider's retainer, and dare to stop a member of the royal family!" Someone said angrily.

In the end, although Simon became the king, in the eyes of these nobles, he was still a bit mean, especially when it harmed their interests.

If members of Willy's royal family were allowed to ascend the throne, they would not dare to do so at all, because without the support of the nobles, a king who ascended the throne in a hurry would be nothing more than empty air.

But Simon is different. He is one of the few great lords in his own right, with the army in his hands, plus the support of the royal family and the church.

Even without the support of nobles, no one can question his authority.

Therefore, these dissatisfied nobles began to attack Simon's origin, and it would be best if he could directly confront a member of the royal family.

Once the close relationship with the royal family is torn apart, they can logically question the legitimacy of the new king.

Since Simon decided to abandon the north of the Yelin River, he has harvested a large number of enemies.

After a delicious meal, compliments, and promises of many benefits, such as supporting him as king, these lords north of the Yelin River finally fooled Kleist over.

Among the surviving members of the royal family, only this son, who was lucky enough not to be purged by the old king, had no close relationship with Simon.

When he came to the city gate and looked at Graton who was guarding the gate, Kleist said arrogantly: "Get out of the way!"

Graton lowered his eyes and replied: "The king has ordered that the capital of the king be closed for seven days, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

"Do you know who I am? The legitimate son of the sixteenth king, a retainer of an outsider, dares to stop me!" Kleist said dismissively.

"The king has ordered that anyone who forcibly breaks into the city gate without permission will be killed without mercy!" Graton opened his eyes and looked at him with cold eyes, with only indifference on his face.

Boulder, the deputy on the other side, seemed a little hesitant, and secretly muttered to the side: "This is a direct member of the royal family. It's not easy for us to deal with it. Let the great-grandfather come over!"

Simon, the king, was himself questioned as being unconventional.

If they kill another member of the immediate royal family, someone will surely take the opportunity to fan the flames and discredit the legitimacy of Simon's accession to the throne.

Only by letting Grand Duke Gaseppe, who is also a direct line of the royal family, or Queen Irina come to deal with it, will the king with a foreign surname Simon not be involved.

But Graton acted as if he didn't hear it, and still looked at Kleist with cold eyes.

Seeing a mere retainer dare not take himself seriously, Kleist's heart suddenly burned with anger. He is the son of the sixteenth king.

Not to mention letting outsiders become kings, even outsiders' retainers dare to ride on the heads of their masters! Is this Silvermoon Kingdom still belongs to the Willy royal family?

"I just broke in, what can you do to me?" Angrily pushing away the soldiers blocking the way, Kleist looked at Graton provocatively.

"Calm down!" Bulder wanted to block it, but he couldn't move faster than Graton's long sword, and the head of the direct member of the royal family immediately rolled off his neck.

"The king has ordered that anyone who breaks into the city gate will be killed without mercy!" Graton pointed his blood-stained long sword at the nobles gathered in front of the city gate, his eyes were so cold that it made people tremble.

"Hey!" Looking at Kleist, who was dying with regret, Buld was speechless and had a headache. Brother, can you consider the consequences of doing things?

This is great~www.novelbuddy.com~ How do you let Simon face the attacks of nobles?

On the high platform not far away, Mikil, who had a panoramic view of everything, sighed bitterly: "Well, since the city is closed for seven days, let's wait for seven days."

He dared to kill even members of the royal family. He didn't want to be an idiot anymore. Anyway, it was only seven days. He wanted to see what tricks this King Simon could play?

Marquis Hood on another high platform frowned tightly.

Judging from the previous understanding of Simon, since the king has already taken the upper hand, they have basically lost!

 …

The seven days passed in a flash, and the nobles who couldn't wait to get out of the city happened to be in time for the first rehearsal of the new legion.

"One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four!" The militiamen, who were originally just a mob, were now marching in unison, shouting slogans that shook the sky, and were practicing outside the capital city.

Although the equipment on his body was still shabby, it also greatly shocked all the nobles, especially those lords who had different intentions.

For those of them whose thinking is still limited to fighting with cold weapons, the current newly formed army is already a qualified army.

How could it be possible to train to such a **** in just seven days?

Mikil, who walked out of the city gate, couldn't help clenching his fists, and then loosened them weakly. He knew that Simon was warning them these lords, and he also knew that this army was probably just a show.

But what if? What if not? He dare not gamble with the Sissoko family!

Marquis Hood on the city wall also lost all energy in an instant, as if he was just an old man, full of helplessness and sadness.

He felt that it was unreasonable to have an opponent like Simon!
