Chapter 624: Snatching (2600 Plus)
Blood and fire boiling!
The huge shadow of the blue dragon roared and danced over Lionheart!
Banners, swords and shields poured into Lionheart, slashing and slashing at the rebels. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The soldier's head is an important symbol used by the army of the conquering king to calculate merit, as for why the other party collects so many heads? It is said that the King of Conquest will use them to build a tower to frighten all the rebels in the Highlands!
The Duke of Wellington had no more to think about at this time, and he hurried into the safe family castle and came to the study.
It used to be the heart of his power, but now all you can see is a scene of panic.
The maids, grooms, and cooks fled in all directions, spreading news of panic, and when they fled, they did not forget to take one or several valuables from the master's house as a reward for their years of hard service.
After slashing and killing the two maids at the beginning, the Duke of Wellington was already disheartened and did not want to do these things again.
He sat upright in the recliner and waited quietly.
Although he could run away, or even go to Ice City, or other Wellington family fiefdoms, he was reluctant to do so.
Is the Duke of Wellington who lost Lionheart still a duke?
The most direct point is that the entire Wellington family has no power to resist in the face of the conquering king.
Castles and fiefdoms represent the source of noble strength, and after losing them, I am afraid that he will have to live under the banners of other branches of the clan, and give up the title of duke, which the proud Duke of Wellington will never tolerate.
'Even if you die, you have to be a duke, you have the dignity of a nobleman, a person of noble blood, you will not shed blood......
He thought silently, and suddenly, the voice outside changed.
Exclamations and slashing continued to be heard, and finally to a uniform pace, as if a large number of people had poured into the castle, searching room by room.
The Grand Duke of Wellington smiled bitterly, picked up the golden wine glass in front of him with trembling hands, and drank the red wine inside.
When the soldiers finally broke through the defenses and kicked open the door to the study, all they saw was the stiffened corpse of Sachar Wellington.
ā¦ā¦
The next day, the riots in Lionheart City gradually subsided, and the Blue Dragon Coalition took control of every corner of the city.
Surrounded by a large number of knights, Wu Ming walked into the gate of Lionheart City as a conqueror.
The city founded by King Lionheart has finally ushered in another king after the end of that ancient kingdom!
In the huge castle chamber, Wu Ming sat on the throne and listened to the reports of his subordinates.
"Sachar Wellington committed suicide by poisoning?"
He groaned, and ordered all the worthy captives of House Wellington to be brought in.
Soon, a group of well-dressed and panicked red lions stepped forward, they also had a knighthood on their lowest bodies, and they were the backbone of the Wellington family, but now, surrounded by soldiers and onlookers on both sides, they trembled and knelt down directly without shouting: "Great conquering king, humble we are willing to offer you loyalty, I hope you can accept it!" ā
Garcia tilted his head, as if he didn't want to see the end of House Wellington's hegemony.
"Sachar Wellington has sent troops to invade the Windfly Plains several times, and he has also planned an assassination against me, such a heinous crime is unforgivable!"
Wu Ming spoke indifferently, and that slow and solemn tone made the group of noble captives below suddenly despair, thinking that they would be dragged out and hanged in the next moment.
"However, since Wellington is dead, his sins cannot be counted on your heads......"
Wu Ming's next sentence made them curse loudly from the previous Duke of Wellington, and praised the benevolence of the conquering king.
Seeing Garcia's disdain and the groveling appearance of the nobles below, Wu Ming didn't care.
The lions who really fought bravely either died or broke through, and most of the captured were soft bones, which could not be more normal.
Of course, even a piece of waste and garbage has value.
"As punishment for your rebellion, I rob the Duke of House Wellington and demote me to a Marquis!"
Wu Ming groaned, and immediately announced his punishment decision: "Lionheart City will also be recovered, as a city directly under my direct jurisdiction, the surrounding fiefdoms will be handled in the same way!" ā
Garcia closed his eyes.
Lionheart City and the vast fertile land around it, the most important foundation of the Wellington family's rule, are now stripped away, and the family's strength will be reduced by more than fifty percent.
"As for the next Marquess of Wellington?"
Wu Ming's eyes swept down, and all the nobles, even Garcia, were in a heartbeat.
He did not immediately name the candidate, but said: "Although Sachar Wellington is dead, but the rebellion of the rest of the Wellington family branches continues, I need you to proclaim my mercy to the Quartet, and subdue them for me, whoever can finally make the remnants of the red lion submit, he is the guardian of the West, the new Marquis of Wellington, who I canonized!" ā
As soon as these words came out, almost all the Wellington people below had their eyes red like rabbits.
Viscount Bale and other outsiders laughed secretly when they saw it.
Knowing that the Wellington family is deeply rooted in the highlands, it will not be a short time to completely conquer it, so it is necessary to let the red lions attack each other.
And the rest of the Wellington people couldn't resist this temptation at all, so they couldn't help but try.
"Forgive me, my king, do you include Arthur among the 'you'?"
Garcia asked, bowing down.
All the lion nobles next to him looked unnatural, and even many of them glared at him angrily.
Arthur Wellington is the heir of the former Archduke Wellington, among the nobles who pay attention to blood and legal system, as long as he is alive, no one can deny the right to inherit at all, he is the natural candidate for patriarch, and of course the first heir to the Marquis of Wellington.
Perhaps as soon as he shows up, he will be able to gain some allegiance from the revolting branch.
"Of course!"
Wu Ming looked at Viscount Garcia, and a strange brilliance flashed in his eyes: "As long as he swears, surrender to me!" ā
"I see!"
Garcia saluted again and retreated into the crowd, not knowing what he was thinking.
"All of you go down!"
After dealing with a few more urgent matters, Wu Ming waved his hand and asked the vassals to go down.
At this time, the hall was empty, and there were only a few people, all of whom were confidants.
"My master!"
The new voodoo witch, Kalitan, curtsied and spoke slowly in a respectful tone: "We searched the whole castle, but we found no other children of the Duke of Wellington...... But in his study, I found traces of witchcraft, and it seemed that a sacrificial ritual had been performed. ā
"It seems that the information is true, and Sachar sacrificed a lot of things to the evil god......"
Wu Ming didn't say anything about this misfortune, he got up calmly: "Now, let's go and see the wealth he left us!" ā
The Wellington family's treasury is at the bottom of the castle.
Because the Blue Dragon Alliance came too quickly, coupled with his confidence in the defense of Lionheart City, the Duke of Wellington did not consider the issue of transfer at all, and now it is all cheaper than Wu Ming.
"Open!"
After walking through a few checkpoints guarded by his own soldiers, Wu Ming came to the bottom of the castle and looked at the tall doors, as if he had come to the gate of the Giant Kingdom.
"Yes!"
Knight Jack stepped forward rather doggy and opened the door with the thick key.
Click!
The door to the treasury was made of pure iron, and even with Jack's strength, it would be quite difficult for one person to open it.
And when it completely appeared in front of Wu Ming, the people around him were amazed.
Golden!
Dazzling and brilliant gold, with a brilliant sheen, formed a hill in front of them.
In front of them was a hill made of Jindelon, with a large number of diamonds, crystals, agate, and so on......
"At least a million or more Jindelong...... The value of other handicrafts cannot be calculated......"
Wu Ming glanced at it a few times, estimated the approximate number, and sighed deeply: "The accumulation of thousands of years of a duke and nobleman is really extraordinary. ā
A powerful force that has been inherited for thousands of years can naturally accumulate extremely amazing wealth.
"It seems that it is still ...... to establish the reserves of the principality"
Wu Ming ordered the other warehouses to be opened, and immediately saw a large number of weapons, leather armor, and countless grains piled up in warehouses.
Anyone, with all this wealth, weapons, and food, breeds ambition, and it's no wonder that the Wellington family is so ambitious to expand.
"My king, our knight of glory has searched every corner of the city, but unfortunately there is no trace of the hand of shadows!"
When he walked out of the warehouse, the archbishop hurried over and told Wu Ming that it was not very good news.
"The base camp of the Shadow Hand is not in the Wind Firefly Plain, not in the highlands, then in the remaining three regions, it doesn't matter if I can't find it this time, as long as I keep winning, the living space of these rats will continue to shrink, and in the end, they will automatically can't help but come out to find me."
Wu is obviously very confident.
Dinner was held in the halls of Lionheart, and a grand banquet was necessary to celebrate the victory and appease the other nobles who had surrendered.
Wu Ming was naturally the focus of the banquet, and many nobles sent their daughters, sisters, and even wives, and that kind of fiery gaze, as well as the feeling of the stars holding the moon, was enough to make any man intoxicated.
After the dinner was over, the two news reached Wu Ming almost at the same time.
