Chapter 1124 Counterattack

Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Something bad has happened! Those damn bastards! They actually gathered together to launch a rebellion and captured Tillsburg. According to the news sent by the merchants who escaped, almost all the food and necessities shipped to the capital were forcibly Seizure. In less than half a day after the news came back, the price of all food tripled. If this rate continues, the entire city will fall into famine in less than three days.

A bureaucrat who had been promoted from the bottom rushed into the palace in a panic, shouting breathlessly.

He looked so nervous at the moment, as if the sky was falling and the end of the world was coming.

But it's no wonder. After all, he was born at the bottom of society and knew better than any noble how terrible things would happen if he fell into famine.

At that time, driven by hunger and death, all desperate civilians will rise up and either be killed by heavily armed soldiers, or rush into wherever they think there is food.

In contrast, the nobles who were watching with cold eyes were extremely calm, as if they did not take this crisis seriously at all.

You must know that for the nobles who remain neutral for the time being, no matter whether this rebellion is successful or not, they can get enough benefits from it.

If they fail, they can complete a bloodless expansion by devouring the wealth and land accumulated by the rebel families for generations or even dozens of generations.

But if they are lucky enough to succeed, they can overthrow the queen who sits on the throne and does not represent her own interests, and return to the good old days when the royal family and the nobility co-governed.

As for the untouchables at the bottom of the dead center, what are they? Anyway, they are like rats. No matter how many die, the number will increase rapidly as the situation stabilizes.

Looking at the ugly faces of these vassals, Villa kept sneering in his heart.

After a while, she deliberately pretended to be casual and asked: Oh? Rebellion? Didn't those guys voluntarily give up their noble titles and territories and prepare to join foreign monarchs? Could it be that they suddenly changed their minds again? ?”

Your Majesty, as a rule, the royal family should send an envoy quickly to ask what happened. A nobleman stood up and suggested.

You don't need to ask to know that he is trying to buy time for the rebels.

Messenger? A group of civilians captured my land and tried to cut off the food supply of the kingdom's capital. You actually want me to send an envoy? Vilia's tone suddenly changed, and a sharp light like a knife burst out from his eyes.

I'm... I'm so sorry! I forgot that they are no longer nobles! The man with the goatee suddenly trembled in fright, and took the initiative to bend down and bow to hide his true intention.

Villa was not a fool. He understood that from the day he planned to centralize power, he was already on the opposite side of all the nobles.

These guys standing in the palace hall are not so much vassals as potential enemies, as well as moths that must be eliminated in the future.

After understanding this, she ordered without thinking: Assemble the army immediately and retake Tillsburg within three days. Remember, all participants and their families will be punished for treason. The principal culprit All male heirs will be hanged, all property will be confiscated, and all female members will be exiled.”

boom!

Your will is our command! The old man standing on the right side of the hall stood up and slapped the strong breastplate hard.

As one of the few generals in the army who has climbed up from the bottom,

He knew very well that his queen needed a glorious victory to prove herself, and to show the enemies hiding in the dark that the kingdom was already that powerful.

Therefore, there must be no mistakes in this war. Not only can there be no mistakes, but the victory must be quick and steady, so that everyone can be shocked.

Of course, after personally experiencing the war of subjugation not long ago, he also had full confidence in his army and did not think that a mere ragtag group could withstand the head-on crushing of the steel puppet army.

It doesn't take much, as long as there is a battle in the open terrain, the soldiers at the bottom will flee because their morale collapses.

Very good! Go, my general, and bring me the leaders of the rebels. I will cut off their heads with my own hands, and hang them on the top of the city for every subject to see. What will happen if you dare to provoke me? What. After saying that, Villa stood up, drew his sword, and handed it into the hands of the old man as a symbol of military power.

Without saying a word, the latter knelt down on one knee before striding forward, and took the sword of the king, which was studded with gold and silver jewels, with both hands.

From beginning to end, both of them ignored the nobles with numerous titles, including Duke Bronhilda, who had long served as commander-in-chief of the armed forces;

Fortunately, the Duke's self-restraint was pretty good, at least he didn't show contempt or contempt on the surface.

When watching the lucky man who climbed from soldier to general step by step leave the palace and go to gather the army, another Duke finally couldn't help but asked: Your Majesty, are you sure you want a man who has only commanded two local battles? The guy leading the army alone?”

What, is there a problem? Or do you think my army is not enough to defeat the rebels? Villa narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.

Her attitude was clearly filled with anger, anger towards the entire aristocratic class.

If she didn't have enough talents on hand to run the country, she would definitely let these bastards who are full of family interests first get away as far as they can.

No, what I mean is that you should at least send a few nobles to accompany you. You must know that disintegrating an alliance from the inside is the best way. All you need is a few nobles as lobbyists and promises to some of the guys who are willing to return astray. The good thing is that you can quell the rebellion at the minimum cost. The Duke undoubtedly felt the disgust coming to his face, but he still explained calmly.

He understood that the rebellion had turned the young queen against the entire aristocracy.

But so what?

Look at the civilians promoted from the bottom. How many of them can replace the nobles in important positions?

So far, none.

That’s right!

this is the truth!

brutal reality!

Even if the young queen knew it, there was nothing she could do!

It’s okay to have grievances. It’ll be fine once you find time to vent your anger.

Anyway, as they grow older, impulsive young people will always become calmer, gradually realize the irreplaceable importance of nobles, and finally reach some kind of cooperation agreement.

When this powerful queen dies, everything will return to its original state...
