MTL - Heroes of Silver Moon-Chapter 701 : It's a war!

The king's meeting ended, and the king and all the lords broke up unhappy.

In the palace, Mike and others approached Simon: "Hey, Simon, this is different from what we said before!"

Simon turned around and looked at them blankly: "What's the difference? I just asked you to fully support me, and I didn't promise anything."

Deborah frowned: "For such an important matter, you should at least discuss it with us in advance!"

Simon shook his head: "It's meaningless, because I have made up my mind, even if I discuss with you, this must be the result!"

"Headache! Since the system of enfeoffment is going to be abolished, it's better to do it directly. Why give those lords a month to think about it? This will only make them ready to rebel!"

Guy rubbed his head: "In the final analysis, why did you abolish the system of enfeoffment? Isn't the current Silver Moon Kingdom pretty good?"

Mike and the others looked at Simon one after another. This is what they were most puzzled about. First he became Pope for no reason, and now he has announced the abolition of enfeoffment. What are they planning?

And compared to before, Simon's acting style has also changed a lot.

If you have to use a feeling to describe it, it is looking for trouble when there is nothing to do. This does not conform to their perception of Simon. In the past, Simon would never cause trouble for himself as long as he could be idle.

Simon was silent for a moment, and said with deep eyes: "The abolition of the enfeoffment system is just a change in the national system, which does not mean that these lords are enemies. Before they rebelled, they were still subjects of the Silvermoon Kingdom. As a king, I will never Use intrigue to kill courtiers.

As for why I did this, do you know that the Temple of the Gods has been preaching in the Silvermoon Kingdom recently? "

Mike frowned: "You were originally the Holy Son of the Moonlight Church, and now you have become the Pope. Do you want to drag the Silver Moon Kingdom into this battle of faith?"

The Temple of the Gods is a combination of more than a dozen human churches. The Moonlight Church is weak and unable to compete with it. Coupled with Simon's sensitive identity, he has to doubt Simon's motives.

Simon looked at him coldly: "Stupid! From the moment the Temple of the Gods decided to attack the Moonlight Church, the Silver Moon Kingdom has been dragged into this war!"

Harris frowned: "Is it too exaggerated to describe it as war? This is just a contest between two religious forces."

Simon sneered: "Don't you think that only knives and swords, iron and blood, can be called war? It's outrageous! The confrontation between culture and belief, the contest between customs and habits, this is also war! Even once we are defeated , There will never be a day of turning around!"

Irina walked over at this time, and waved her hands disapprovingly: "Don't say it so scary, it would be nice if the war is so mild compared to the corpses everywhere."

"mild?"

Simon gritted his teeth and explained: "Compared to traditional wars, culture wars are more dangerous and cruel, let me tell you what they will do!

The first step is to coerce the royal family, let the beliefs of the temples blossom everywhere, and increase the public's recognition of the empire.

The second step is to fully suppress the Moonlight Church and force the Moonlight Goddess to give up the Silver Moon Kingdom.

The third step is to let me, the king, die in a strange way, and maybe you, the queen, will be involved again.

The fourth step is to support a puppet king, which is likely to be our son Arthur, and then gradually persecute the important officials who are loyal to the king, that is, you people, and install them.

After taking full control of the Silvermoon Kingdom, they will let Arthur die in a strange way, let our daughter Elizabeth take the throne, and a member of the imperial royal family will become the regent.

Once Elizabeth gave birth to a male heir, he would be dealt with mercilessly, and then the empire would instill in this male heir the idea of ​​being close to the empire.

After this male heir takes the throne, the Silvermoon Kingdom will fully become a subsidiary Grand Duchy of the empire, and there will be no turning back from now on! You still think this kind of war is very mild! "

Simon's words made Erina and the others shudder, they had never thought deeply about these aspects.

Everyone was silent for a moment, and Mike said: "In the end, this is just your guess."

Simon was furious, and was about to use the king's authority to make them obedient, but the attendant suddenly ran over: "Your Majesty, the archbishop of the temple of the gods came to visit and said that he wanted to discuss with you about building a temple in the Silver Moon Kingdom." matter."

Hearing this, Mike and the others were horrified and had goosebumps all over their bodies. Simon's previous words lingered in their hearts like a shadow.

Simon calmed down at this moment, and said with a sneer: "Look, it's finally here, the empire has sounded the horn of war to us, we must either fight! Or wait for destruction!

But I have to remind you, once the empire's plan is successfully implemented, I, the king, Irena, the queen, our sons and daughters, as well as you important ministers and the families behind you, will not end well! "

 …

The king's meeting ended. In order to prevent being directly killed by the king, most of the lords chose to flee the capital. In the mansion of the Hood family in the aristocratic area, a group of influential lords gathered.

"Hmph, you openly announced that you will abolish the enfeoffment system, but you didn't ambush us lords, and you gave us a month to prepare. Is our majesty the king naive or stupid?"

"Oh, I think it's quite interesting for His Majesty to do this, at least he can be regarded as aboveboard, unlike some of us who engage in conspiracy and tricks all day long!"

"You bastard, are you mocking us?"

Looking at the quarreling lords, Marquis Hood was full of exhaustion and powerlessness, and he knew in his heart that he was indeed old.

"What does Marquis Sissoko think about His Majesty's proposal to abolish the enfeoffment system?" Looking at the young and strong Mikil, Marquis Hood looked envious.

Youth is the greatest capital in this world, because being young means that there are infinite possibilities!

Unlike him, this life will be like this...

Hearing Marquis Hood's question, Mikil's face was full of entanglements. On the one hand, he was the inheritance of his ancestors for thousands of years, and on the other hand, he was the powerful king.

A wrong choice will ruin the whole family forever!

After thinking for a long time, Mikil sighed: "I don't intend to disobey His Majesty's decision."

"What!" All the lords looked at him in shock, almost thinking that they had hallucinations.

The former Sissoko family was the leader of the lords of the Silvermoon Kingdom. Although it is declining day by day, its prestige is still there, but Mikil wants to surrender without a fight!

"Marquis Sissoko, do you know what you're talking about?" Hilludi's father, Harris' father-in-law, Earl Hamilton, shot up and glared at Mikkel.

When questioned, Mikkel gritted his teeth and shouted: "Of course I know what the **** I'm doing, but do you guys know what I'm doing?

You haven't been in the New Army, so of course you don't know what kind of army it is!

The will of the soldiers is like steel, the discipline is strict, the weapons in their hands can destroy any enemy, and they only obey the king's orders. The high salaries and pensions make them fearless to die!

When this army belongs to my own people, I will feel extremely at ease, but when I think of being an enemy of such an army, I tremble with fear!

That's right, I'm a coward, I don't even dare to think of rebelling against the king! "

Mikil's roar made the room instantly quiet, and many lords were thinking in their hearts whether it would be worthwhile to rebel against the king. Anyway, the king may have promised that even if the enfeoffment system was abolished, they would not treat them badly, and they would still be able to live in the world. Enjoy the prosperity and wealth from generation to generation.

Marquis Hood was silent for a moment, then turned to look at the other person: "Earl Hawke, what do you think?"

That's right, Simon's father, Valery, also attended the party. He closed his eyes and looked up to the sky with a long sigh: "Both the Alpine Territory and the New French Territory are actually controlled by Simon. I have neither the ability to seize power, nor the ability to provide you with Support, perhaps as he said, the lordship system... has not kept up with this era."

Full of sorrow, Mikkiel and Valery left here, they had already made a choice.

Marquis Hood looked at Earl Rosen again: "What does Lord Rosen think?"

Earl Rosen snorted dissatisfiedly: "I don't deny that that stinky brat's methods are very strong, but wanting me to offer my ancestors' land with both hands is simply a dream!"

"Lord Hamilton, Lord Mengsk, and Lord Santana, where are you three?" Marquis Hood looked at the most influential lords in various parts of the kingdom in turn.

"Hmph, I'm really not reconciled not to compete with the king!" The three answered.

Marquis Hood sighed in his heart, he didn't really want to cause trouble again, after all, his youthful ambitions had almost faded away.

But since the Sissoko family weakened ~www.novelbuddy.com~ the Hood family has become the leader of the lords. If he wants to surrender directly to the king, the Hood family will be the first to be backlashed by the lords.

So from the very beginning, he had no choice!

Marquis Hood said in a deep voice: "Since His Majesty wants to go his own way, it seems that only with knives and swords, iron and blood can he listen to the advice of our courtiers!"

"But the king's army can defeat even an army of 300,000 orcs, but we only have remnants of defeated generals and a group of farmers with weapons. What can we do to fight him?" Some lords expressed concern.

Marquis Hood smiled: "Since His Majesty the King has the same power in the Silvermoon Kingdom, why don't we ask other countries for help! The abolition of the enfeoffment system has seriously violated the rights and interests of the lord. As the leader of the sacred alliance of mankind, the empire must Get justice for us!"

The abolition of the enfeoffment system was not the first initiative of the Silvermoon Kingdom. Eighty years ago, the Blue Kingdom had done this, but it failed miserably in the end, and it has not been able to slow down until now.

As for the culprit of the failure of the reform, everyone knows who it is, but they dare not say it.

After all, the sacred and great empire will never allow any country to threaten them!

 …

The archbishop who perfunctorily walked away from the Temple of the Gods, Simon looked up to the sky and sighed, turned to Mike and others and said: "This time the abolition of the enfeoffment system, the lords are likely to contact the empire, so once the lord rebellion, we must use the fastest speed Extinguish it, and never let the empire have any chance to intervene!"

Harris nodded: "Understood, I will go to rectify the army and make sure I can attack at any time!"

In the seventh year of Simon's reign, the Silvermoon Kingdom is about to come...
