Chapter 402: Calm down Norma
The roaring sound gradually subsided, and the huge mountain finally stopped moving, like a tired person, stopped.
Where it gave way, the broad avenue stretched all the way through the Norma Mountains, from the hills in the north to the plains in the south.
From this moment on, there is no more natural danger like "Norma" in the world, and there is a smooth road between the north and south of the western continent.
Some of the weary Lopez great sages walked down from the altar, surrounded by legendary powerhouses, to the Thracian barracks. What greeted him was cheers like a landslide and a tsunami. The Thracian army cheered for this mythical feat, and the strong men from all over the Western Continent also gathered to extend their sincerest congratulations to him.
After completing this great feat, no matter what the future holds, as long as the Norma Mountains are still there, Ernst Lopez, the "sage who outlines the earth", will be praised by people. In the history books of all countries and races, today's event will be marked with a strong color. Even if time passes, the long-lived dragons have been turned into dust, and this legend will always be remembered by people as a Memories of later generations.
It can even be said that compared to the great deeds of the great sage Lopez, even if Thrace destroys Molai, it is not a big deal.
The rise and fall of a country is a very common thing, in contrast, it is much rarer to move mountains and down the sea!
The grand celebration was held for three whole days. During the ceremony, not only were the strong congratulations from all sides, but King Richard of Thrace also sent messengers to pay homage to the great sage.
Another thing happened during the ceremony-a large number of nobles from Molai publicly surrendered to Thrace. They expressed their admiration for the sage of Lopez, and only hoped that their descendants could have the opportunity to listen to the teachings of the sage. , even at the expense of changing the family.
This reason is absolutely true, but in fact, just look at the map to know what these nobles are - their territories are generally near the Norma area, and there is no danger.
In other words, they were not capable of resisting the attack of the Thracian army.
Among these nobles, there is Earl Pollock of Pollock City. He is a very determined person. He personally came to the Thracian army camp to surrender, and his attitude is much more sincere than those nobles who sent envoys or children.
For the surrender of these nobles, Duke Alanz accepted all of them, and did not refuse a single one. She said that according to the agreement between the king and herself, in addition to the Norma region, she could also have a new territory equivalent to 30 counties. If everyone doesn't dislike the small family of the Ai Lanz family, she is willing to help each other and build a more prosperous territory together.
Such a statement was naturally welcomed and supported by the original nobles of Molai. What they were most afraid of was that Duke Alanz used the sage Lopez to move the mountain to eliminate the power of the Norma natural danger, reduce their territory, or even directly deprivation. Now that the Duke of Ellants is willing to respect their interests, and to make such an approachable gesture, they are overjoyed!
But the only ones who can get such preferential treatment are those aristocrats who have defected to the south of Norma. Although the nobles in the Norma region also surrendered one after another, they were all punished for their two previous confrontations with the Thracian army. The lightest ones were reduced to some territories, and the more serious ones were even sent hostages. Serious family owners must retire immediately... The Norma family and several of their besties were punished the most, and the Duke of Alanz directly deprived them of their territory!
Of course, she also heard about what happened at the Norma Military Council. After hearing the words, she sighed and said, "I can't believe that the Duke of Norma, who has been operating the Norma region for many years and who once defeated our Thracian army, turned out to be a Such a short-sighted person is not as good as a lizardman! It's a pity that General Yuneruo is loyal and brave, and finally ended up like this!"
Liu Daoqing smiled and said: "Duke Norma is probably afraid that after he surrenders, you will split his family's territory and let him retire directly. A shedding tiger is not as good as a dog. The reason why he can have the current status , relying not on his talent, but on his identity. Once he loses his identity, what else can he have?"
"I will definitely order him to retire." Duke Ellands nodded and said, "but retire, he is not without children, so what's wrong with letting the children take over earlier? I was only fifteen years old when I became the duke. , his son is already a father, and it's time to take over."
Everyone laughed - the Duke of Ellants has achieved something to succeed as a teenager, that is, she is good enough. In contrast, Duke Norma's son really has no sense of existence. Everyone doesn't know what he is capable of. It's no wonder that Duke Norma has no confidence in this son.
"There is a saying, 'A man cannot be without power for a day'." Liu Daoqing said, "Human beings are such strange creatures. Obviously, power and wealth are things that are not brought by life or death. See more than anything else!"
"How many humans have you been in contact with?" Count Spinola laughed. "You don't understand, it's normal. In fact, Duke Norma's thoughts are not unreasonable... He is only forty years old this year. , is far from being old, and he is retiring at this time, and it is a real full shift, and he may be grounded afterwards... This kind of life is indeed unbearable for him. "
"But he deserves it," said Pied Candy, chief executive of the Thracian Army, one of the Arrantz family's best friends. Marquis Henry surrendered when he attacked Norma for the first time. Not only would he not be punished, but he would in turn be rewarded with great rewards. After all, we in Thrace want to set an example for the nobles of Morlaix and make them willing to surrender to us. But he resisted to the end at that time, and now facing us, he chose to resist again... If we don't punish the diehards headed by him, how do we convince people? How do we convince those Molai nobles to choose to surrender rather than resist?"
"Be lenient when confessing, and be strict when resisting?" Liu Daoqing asked, "Shouldn't it be 'It is better to surrender early than to surrender late, and to surrender late than not to surrender'?"
Everyone in the Ai Lanz family laughed, and even the sage Ernst Lopez couldn't help shaking his head with a smile: "Where did you hear this? The first sentence is very reasonable, but the second sentence is simply It's all messed up - for us, of course, we need to support and commend those who surrender, and fight those who resist, why is it better not to surrender?"
Liu Daoqing also smiled, smiling honestly and honestly, as if he had never known anything in the world.
At the same time, he put this conversation in the group chat channel, which aroused discussion among the traversers.
In the traveler, Wang Tuhao's evaluation of Duke Elanz is quite representative.
"This child is really terrifying, and he will become a great weapon in the future!"
After reading this, Liu Daoqing touched his beard disdainfully: "What will become a great thing in the future, people are already 'great' now, okay?"
Saying that, he subconsciously glanced at Katrina Alanz's chest, and laughed a few times.
