Chapter 741: Thracian nobles
With the disappearance of Katerina's figure, the noble meeting hall was silent, deadly silent, and no one dared to speak.
Pairs of eyes stared at Richard, waiting for His Majesty's reaction.
Richard was not very surprised. He had already obtained the information in advance - the Alanz family was going to be independent, of course it was impossible to hide such a big thing from him.
But he still couldn't hold back his anger.
He was angry, but laughed instead. The laughter was so cold and gloomy that it was daunting, making people think of this laughter at night, and they couldn't help but have nightmares.
"It seems that the Ellants family doesn't plan to negotiate with us." After laughing, Richard said, "That's fine, so you don't have to procrastinate. The Ellants family's territory is so big, and everyone can share a share. A lot."
He spoke calmly, but the gloomy meaning in his words was creepy.
Fortunately, there are still people here who dare to take his words.
The head of the Pieduts family, Herbert Pieduts, also used a magic projection to attend the meeting.
This contemporary Duke of Pieduc is the younger brother of Lauren Pieduc, who died in front of the Iron Chain Fortress. In terms of strength, he is not under Lauren Pieduc.
Among the two great dukes of Thrace, some of the Arans family were withered, but the Piduts family was prosperous. There are more than 20 adult men in the direct line alone. If you count the straight line men and women within three generations, it is close to a hundred.
Moreover, they also have a legendary strongman in town, that is the famous general of the founding era of Thrace, and the "Shield Mountain" Owens Pieduc, who is brother-in-law with the first king "Eagle King" Lucifer Thrace .
If there is anyone else in the audience who is similar to King Richard, it is only him.
"Let's form a coalition to attack the Ellants family." Herbert Pidutz said calmly, "Since Katerina Ellants has no intention of negotiating at all, then there is no need to discuss it. The Ellants family back then Originally, it was reluctantly merged into Thrace, and it will not work if we don’t fight a battle.”
"You're right!" Richard said coldly. "They shouldn't have been tolerated back then! If they had been eliminated in the first place, they wouldn't be in trouble now!"
"It's all over now, and it's too late to do something now," Herbert said. "Our Pieduc family is closer to the south. First, we united with the surrounding nobles and flattened the southern territory of the Ellants family. Then we turned around. Let's go, how about our coalition push down the headquarters of the Ai Lanz family?"
Richard shook his head: "This is too slow, and there may be problems if it is delayed. It's better to take the Castle of Ellants directly and destroy their headquarters!"
"But they can flee to the south," said Herbert.
"Katarina can escape, but the Storm Legion can't escape." Richard smiled grimly again, "Without the Storm Legion's Alanz, what is there to fear? We don't even need to take action anymore, the surrounding nobles If they rise up and attack them, they will be able to completely annihilate them!"
Herbert thought for a while and nodded: "You are right! Then I'll go to prepare, is there anything else to pay attention to?"
"No, then leave the defense to you, and the offense to me."
Herbert smiled, and the figure disappeared, but it was the matter of arranging troops.
Richard looked around, his eyes swept across the faces of nobles or noble representatives.
Most of the people he saw couldn't help lowering their heads and didn't dare to look at him.
"I know that there are many families among you who have been on good terms with the Ellants family for generations." Richard said coldly, "I also know that many of you want to be peacemakers or even help them."
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a mocking smile: "But I don't need any peacemaker, since the Ellants family wants war, then give them war! I don't need to negotiate, nor do I accept it! This war, I only need one result!"
A cold light flashed in his eyes, murderous: "That is, the demise of the Ailanz family!"
Scanning the audience again, he said grimly: "I also welcome someone to stand on their side. Anyway, one family is killed, and several are also destroyed. Killing a few more will just free up a lot of territory to share a point. ."
He paused for a while, and the expression on his face softened a little: "Of course, if you are willing to support me, I will never treat you badly! If you destroy the Elanz family, their territory will always be divided. Send more troops. If you do, you will get more share; if you send less troops, you will naturally get less.”
Having said this, his expression became fierce and vicious again: "As for those who do not fight, they will all be regarded as supporting the Ailanz family! What are the consequences, consider for yourself!"
After speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared, ending the meeting.
It was only at this time that the noise in the noble meeting hall began to rise again. The great nobles and representatives talked nervously, discussing what to do.
Of course, no one dares to say that they want to support the Ai Lanz family - even if they want to support, they can't say it here, there is no other language to describe it except courting death.
And more nobles are discussing the issue of how much troops should be sent.
Richard's character is not good, but his credit is not bad. Since he promised in front of all the nobles today that he would divide up the territory of the Ayrantz family according to the number of troops he sent, he would try to get as many troops as possible, and he would naturally be able to get more territory after the war.
No aristocrat would dislike that the territory is too large, and the territory of the Elanz family is a first-class good site. Whether in the north or the south, even if it is not fertile soil suitable for cultivation, it is still rich in forests. A territory like that, even if it only occupies a small piece, is an excellent piece of fat.
So after a little discussion, the great nobles of Thrace basically made a decision.
And almost as they were discussing, the nobles who had privately contacted the Elanz family and wanted to be peacemakers frowned and sighed.
The Ellants family has no intention of accepting mediation.
In that case, there is no way.
In the afternoon, dozens of great nobles united and went to the palace to visit King Richard. They unanimously stated that they would assemble their troops and join the coalition forces in the crusade against Ireland.
"A crusade? Not a crusade!" King Richard shook his head heavily and said word by word, "Yes! Destroy! Destroy!"
"Again, what I want is not to defeat the Ayrantz family and force them to give up their independence. I want to annihilate the Aylandz family and kill them and the nobles who dare to support them! Men, women and children, not a single one!" Richard The fierce light in his eyes revealed, "When the country was founded, Lucifer's ancestors already made a mistake, and I will not make such a mistake again!"
Saying that, he showed a murderous smile.
Faced with this smile, those big nobles who usually kill people without blinking their eyes can't help but tremble in their calves.
Seeing them retreat in horror, Richard couldn't help laughing.
"Haha! I really want to thank Katerina for that stupid girl who is looking for her own death! If she hadn't brought her to the door, I wouldn't have found a good way to increase the prestige of the Wang family!"
"Are you going to expedition yourself this time?" Frost Sword Saint asked.
"Of course! I will personally lead the troops into the Castle of Ellands and hang Katarina at the gate of the castle!" Richard replied with a smile.
The Frost Sword Saint nodded, but a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
Although he knew that this war would be won, but for some reason, he felt a little uneasy in his heart...
