Shouldn't the king be the head of the country
One of the world's most honored men
Shouldn't all people living in the territory abide by the laws I made
Shouldn't everyone obey my orders
Why... Soderberry's bastard dragons rebelling against me
Destroy the army of justice I sent
You still come to blackmail me
hateful! It's really hateful!
What's even more hateful is that my kingdom and I are powerless to resist!
This is simply ridiculous!
A kingdom is being held hostage by a dragon...
Thinking of this, the king's face became even more gloomy.
With a sullen face, he followed Fernando back.
When returning to the ruined palace, he met his daughter, Lucia Xinglan.
She walked back and forth anxiously, and when she saw the king, she immediately went up to him and asked anxiously.
"Father! I heard! This time it is a huge black gold dragon! Is he Shillong Soderberry, or his father?"
Lucia's impression of Shillong is still 25 meters high.
The king glanced at Lucia and gritted his teeth for a while before saying, "It's Shillong! Soderberry!"
"I've said it before! Taxes shouldn't have been raised before! If taxes hadn't been raised, he wouldn't have gone to the Blue and White Forest to build a city, and this battle wouldn't have happened... The casualties this time were a bit heavy, and a lot of buildings were destroyed... I" Lucia wanted to go on.
But the king's veins were already throbbing, and he suddenly yelled: "Enough! It's not your turn to point out what I do!
Now! Go back to your own palace at once! "
Said, angrily walked away quickly.
Lucia was left alone and sighed helplessly.
Father, father, father...
Why don't you always listen to advice.
...
After returning to the palace, the king immediately issued an order to summon all the nobles and cabinet ministers.
In this palace where the mage used spells and simply repaired it, it was barely able to live in the palace.
All standing, the atmosphere is very depressing.
With a heavy face, His Majesty the King waited quietly for half an hour, and when everyone arrived, he said: "Everyone, you must have known what happened here two hours ago when you came here.
Then I won't say more, my army failed in the face of the evil dragon, and now I have to compensate him!
As for the compensation, everyone knows that there are two million gold coins, one million people, and half a year's rations for one million people!
The dragon told me to prepare in 30 days! But the food and the one million people are not that simple. What do you do to deal with it? "
A group of nobles and cabinet officials looked at each other, but no one spoke.
The king must have wanted them to bleed some blood, and everyone is not a fool, who would accept this.
A group of people were silent.
The king took a few breaths on it, feeling depressed in his heart.
These damn bastards are usually good at talking nonsense, but when it comes to critical moments, they actually start to pretend to be dumb!
But don't underestimate me! You bastards!
He secretly looked at Duke Omari and winked at him.
Omari coughed, stood up and said, "Your Majesty! I have already thought of a solution."
"Oh? Duke Omari, tell me quickly." The king cast his eyes on the other party.
The others also cast their gazes over one by one.
These guys all had fire in their eyes.
Damn it! This old licking dog is about to start licking again!
His Majesty! Have you not seen the consequences of the hairy leader of a certain kingdom
"Your Majesty! I think the national crisis is at the head of the pile! All subjects are responsible!
Two million gold coins, I will take the lead in donating 10,000 gold coins! Your Majesty, please forgive me for being poor, and I am willing to give a million pounds of grain!
As long as everyone here does their best, we can still get through this disaster!
I also believe that you will support your country, right
You are all excellent nobles and officials with good morals. "
At the end, Omari scanned everyone around.
Damn old dog!
It's so ruthless!
Ten thousand gold coins! A million pounds of grain...
A million pounds of grain! It is enough to feed 10,000 people for 100 days, and the price is not much lower than 10,000 gold coins!
The hearts of a group of people are twitching.
"Come on! Tell me, how much are you willing to pay for the kingdom?" Omari continued.
"this… "
A group of people peeped at each other, and no one wanted to speak first.
"Marquis Mokley! Let you take the lead." Omari pointed his target at his old enemy.
Nasty old dog!
Mokley cursed inwardly.
With a pensive expression on his face, he said, "Your Majesty, I am also willing to contribute 10,000 gold coins and one million pounds of grain."
"Very good! Dear Marquis Mockley, you really are an excellent nobleman who loves the kingdom." The king showed a rare smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust! I always love this kingdom that gave birth to me." Mokley stroked his chest with his right hand.
"En." The king nodded in satisfaction, and turned his gaze to the next nobleman.
The nobleman quickly said: "Your Majesty! I don't have the strength of Marquis Mockley, but I still love my motherland. I am willing to contribute five thousand gold coins and half a million pounds of grain."
"Yes!" The king nodded again.
These nobles took turns one by one.
Until a nobleman chirped and said: "Your Majesty, my territory is too poor. Although I also love my motherland, but my strength is limited, I can only contribute one thousand gold coins and one hundred thousand pounds of grain."
When the other nobles and cabinet officials heard the words, they immediately gathered their eyes and looked expectant.
The king's face suddenly fell, and he said with a gloomy expression: "Lord Harry! Are you joking? I can give you a chance to reorganize the language! Maybe you don't want your current title?"
"." Harry didn't expect the king's reaction to be so strong, that he dared to say such a thing as reclaiming the title
He hurriedly wiped the cold sweat that had just flowed from his forehead, and said, "Your Majesty, I was a little confused just now, please forgive me, I am willing to contribute three thousand gold coins and three hundred thousand pounds of grain."
The watching nobles and cabinet officials sighed slightly in their hearts when they saw this situation, the blood cannot escape.
Then everything went smoothly, so officials and nobles contributed a lot.
Of course, the nobles are the big ones, and the economic strength of those cabinet officials cannot be compared with the nobles, but no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.
The king will not hold back.
This time more than 300,000 gold coins and more than 30 million pounds of grain were raised.
Although it is still far from the requirements put forward by Shillong, at least it has saved a lot of resources for the treasury.
Then there is the question of population! This is the main event!
The king once again set his sights on Duke Omari.
