Chapter 578. Persecution of the nobility
In particular, Baron Kant has always shown an attitude of not accepting any nobles, which makes them even more frightened, although the nobles of the Northern County Territory are weak, but the nobles of the Northern County Territory are also nobles, and their miserable fate is always like a sharp sword hanging in the hearts of the upper nobles of the Southern County Territory, making them feel alert.
Although Baron Kant sent troops from the north gate of Lionheart City, the first thing he had to deal with was the Lion Duke Cameron, but in the eyes of the nobles of the Southern County who did not know the existence of the world's nobles, the Lion Duke Cameron, was not worthy of such a strong force from Baron Cont at all. Therefore, it is self-evident what Baron Kant's wolf ambitions were.
Baron Kant has long been the first nobleman in the Lion Principality in the eyes of the upper-class nobles except for the families of the five world nobles. Even many nobles have spread some rumors that Grand Duke Cameron, Duke of Lion, took the initiative to give up the position of Grand Duke to Baron Kant, hoping to remind Grand Duke Cameron to recognize the form clearly and put an end to the horror caused to them by Baron Kant to start a war at any time to seize the position of Grand Duke.
At this time, Baron Kant sent troops, bringing with him a terrifying force that could almost crush all the nobles of the upper echelons of the Southern County Territory, and all the nobles of the Southern County Territory trembled under the pressure of Baron Kant. There are many high-class nobles who are ready to start withdrawing from the Lion Duchy - the performance of Baron Kant, the wise nobles can guess that they will definitely not leave these old nobles to stay in the Lion Duchy.
There are only two paths left for them - die or roll.
As for letting them fight with Baron Kant, it's better to get it. As long as they have the status of nobility, as long as they have power in their hands, they can develop their families well when they go there, so why do they have to use their weak strength to shake Baron Kant's terrifying army like an egg hitting a stone?
If it succeeds, there will not be too many benefits, after all, there are so many upper nobles, and the fruits of victory will not be distributed too much to each nobleman. If it fails, the family that has been inherited for more than 300 years will be directly wiped out.
The risks involved are too great, and they are completely disproportionate to the benefits, and the smart nobles of the upper echelons of the Nanjun Collar will not let their family participate in such an adventure.
In Lionheart City, the nobles of the Eastern Noble District began to connect one after another, discussing the way out in the future, discussing the new principality or kingdom together, discussing the conclusion of a covenant in advance, and the provinces went to other countries to be oppressed by the local nobles. After three hundred years of development, the relationship between the upper nobles has long been complicated, and if they want to have a relationship with each other, it is too simple.
The power of the upper nobles is very strong, and in Lionheart City alone, if they want to, they can gather tens of thousands of elite troops, and they can make up thousands of powerful soldiers at the level of great knights. However, they didn't have the slightest idea of taking advantage of the emptiness of Lionheart City at this time and forcibly occupying Lionheart City.
How strong Baron Kant's power is, the upper nobles are not very clear. But they knew that Lionheart was just one of the six great cities of Baron Kant. The power in Lionheart City alone can crush the combined force of these upper-class nobles, if they dare to take advantage of the weakness of Lionheart City to seize Lionheart City, even if they succeed, I am afraid that his revenge from Baron Kant will also make their noble family name a small wave that disappears in the long river of history.
The reaction of the upper nobles at this time was all in Kant's calculations.
It's just that Kant is still ready to go to war with all the upper nobles of the Southern County Lord. Because in Kant's thoughts, the five world nobles can tolerate the upper nobles to develop such a strong strength, and it is impossible to have no countermeasures.
Despite this thought, Kant did not besiege these nobles and nearly half of their family's great knight-level forces in Lionheart City before sending troops.
At this time, Baron Kant had already sent his troops, and it would take time for them to leave the city, return to the territory to reorganize, and leave the Lion Duchy, and their time was extremely short. As a result, the upper nobles of the eastern part of Lionheart City moved extremely quickly, and under the common external pressure, they met, negotiated, and made alliances very quickly. Most of them drew up a rough framework, and the rest of the details were agreed to be signed slowly when they escaped from the Lion Principality.
Therefore, an hour after Baron Kant left the north gate of Lionheart City, the upper nobles in Lionheart City had already connected and signed their own covenants. Subsequently, the ten-mile-long and thirty-meter-wide East Avenue of Lionheart City was completely crowded with noble carriages, noble knights, and noble soldiers.
At the east gate of Lionheart City, Kant's soldiers were methodically letting the nobles go, allowing them to leave Lionheart City happily. Of course, it is necessary to pay the "exit fee" after the nobles have happily paid the "exit fee".
The person responsible for handling this matter is naturally not the fifth-level military guarding the city gate. Neither Sergeant Rhodok nor Sergeant Swadia were good at dealing with nobles. However, with the sixth-level troops, it may be full of mistakes to let them manage a huge territory alone, but it is only appropriate for them to stick to one principle to deal with the nobles.
Thirty Swadia royal knights were sent by Kant to the east gate of Lionheart City early to collect the nobles' "exit fees". The east gate of Lionheart City has three arched gate holes, each gate hole is six meters wide, and ten Swadia royal knights are responsible for one city gate hole, which is more than enough.
The fifth-level archers and crossbowmen on the city tower who are ready to attack, and the fifth-level infantry on both sides of the city gate are full of strength to ensure that they can collect the "exit fee" before releasing the nobles. Unless these nobles unite and storm the east gate of Lionheart. But such an action, the nobles who were at the front and closest to the east gate would never agree to it. After all, no matter what the final result is, these guys at the front will definitely suffer heavy losses, and even their own lives as upper-class nobles may be lost.
Although it is impossible for them to unite to storm the east gate of Lionheart, it is also difficult for them to pay the "exit fee" very "generously" and quickly. Baron Kant is so ruthless that a "city exit fee" can make the upper-class nobles with a three-hundred-year inheritance feel painful.
