Lords of Camelot

David sat in his seat and looked at the parchment in his hand. This was the report sent by Aguguiwen in the morning. It was the tax payment during this period. Aguguiwen even marked how much materials these princes had embezzled.

He raised his eyebrows twice, then rang the bell gently. The soldier of the Seventh Company who was on guard today opened the curtain and asked Davian if he needed anything.

"Please invite Mordred and Wincenrib." Davian only gave such a simple order, and the soldiers at the door immediately went to notify the two adults.

Soon, Winchenrib and Mordred arrived. Davian handed the parchment in his hand to the two of them, and after reading it, the two of them understood that Davian was going to give them a task.

"Go, my son. Ask them to pay their dues. I believe you have a plan for how to do it. Let me see the result, and I will not ask you any more questions about the process."

Davian's words revealed some fatigue, and Wincenrib and Mordred understood. At the moment when Sir Tristan was touring Britain, these princes dared to evade taxes. This was really bold. No wonder Davian felt tired and angry.

Mordred bowed and said he would take care of it. Davian then signaled to Winchinlib with his eyes, asking him to make sure he found the gaps and not let Mordred do anything radical.

Deterrence is necessary, but if things are overdone it will only cause greater trouble, so it is still necessary to have an experienced person like Wen Qinlibu watching from the side, so as to avoid causing trouble.

After getting Davian's approval, the two men set off with the Second Company. The first person they approached was King Yuruns of the Gore region. According to the data written by Agguiwen, this man had a lot of private possessions and had always been dissatisfied with King Arthur's court.

Mordred has decided that he must first knock down these tough guys and intimidate the remaining onlookers. If successful, their subsequent actions will be more effective.

When they arrived at Gor, King Ullens received them warmly. Adhering to the principle of not hitting a smiling person, Mordred did not adopt an aggressive attitude right away.

"Minister Agguiwen has checked the amount of taxes you paid this year... To be honest, it really doesn't make sense. The area you control is still quite fertile, and the taxes shouldn't be this low. I came here to ask the reason for this."

However, during the banquet, Mordred still revealed his purpose. This was something that everyone knew, and there was no need to hide it. The arrival of the First Legion and Mordred was originally a kind of pressure.

King Yurun was now speaking fluently about the hidden tax amounts, and he could clearly tell where every penny was used. He had obviously done his homework, but Mordred just didn't buy his story.

"Lies are meaningless. I have received intelligence before coming here. King Yuruns, you don't think that your bureaucrats and your subjects are all your people, right? Then I can only say that it is a pity. Concealment and lies have nowhere to hide in front of us."

After saying this, the soldiers of the Second Company behind Mordred had already put the well-organized information on King Yurun's desk. King Yurun picked up the information, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, as it almost exposed all of his privacy.

At this moment, King Yurun's face turned red with anger. He angrily threw the information aside and angrily asked King Arthur if he wanted to monitor every one of their princes? Was he going to control all of them and not give them any freedom?

"He is just a bastard who succeeded to the throne with the help of the Lion Knight and Merlin. What qualifications does he have to control our every move?"

King Ullens roared angrily, but Mordred's expression did not change, nor did Winchenrib's expression. After King Ullens had vented his emotions, Mordred placed his sword on the table, and then he finally spoke.

“King Yuruns, listen carefully, my respect for your status will not change what I am going to do.

Pay the taxes you are owed, and write a letter explaining that you were bewitched into evading taxes.

If not, whether you hide in the world or in heaven, I will knock you down from the rotating stars and moon.

I will tear you apart like my father, the Lion Rider. I will kill your family along with you. I will burn your palace and scorch your land.

If you and your family still want to live, then consider my proposal carefully. If not, then you will witness the will of God with your own eyes, and I will become the whip of God and speak to your dead body about the importance of humility and loyalty. "

Although these words were so aggressive, Mordred was extremely calm throughout the entire time he spoke, so calm that he even had a strange magical quality.

All the people at the scene, except those from the First Legion, were terrified by this strange and terrifying evil. They couldn't help but swallow their saliva to calm themselves down.

King Yurun's face turned pale with fear. He faced Mordred's frightening emotions and pressure. At this moment, he felt that he could hardly breathe, as if Mordred was really going to pounce on him and rip open his throat.

Cold sweat flowed down his forehead, and after a period of silence to adjust his emotions, he finally spoke. King Ullens promised that he would immediately send the unpaid taxes to Arthur's palace, and promised that he would never dare to hide anything again.

After getting a very satisfactory answer, Mordred nodded, then he picked up his sword on the table, stood up without any joy or sadness, and left the restaurant.

He felt uncomfortable from the moment he entered the restaurant. During his years traveling in Britain, he saw too many people who were undernourished and hungry, but still saved export grain for their children, just hoping that they could grow up and move on to the future.

And these princes actually wanted to build such meaningless buildings and hide the taxes that should have been paid to strengthen the military to defend Britain. Such ugly behavior made Mordred feel disgusted.

So this time he made some verbal threats and was ready to see if the situation would teach King Yurun some practical lessons. Fortunately, King Yurun was sensible, otherwise the final outcome would have been quite ugly.

Winchenrib was quite satisfied with Mordred's performance today. This child really had the demeanor of Lord Davian.

He is worthy of being a knight named the Son of the Lion. When Lord Davian retires in the future, this child will surely inherit his position as Lord of Camelot and Master of the First Legion and continue to protect Britain.
