In particular, Baron Kant has always shown an attitude of not accepting any nobles' votes, which makes them even more frightened. Although the nobles of the North County are weak, the nobles of the North County are also nobles. A sharp sword hung in the hearts of the upper-class nobles in Nanjun, making them feel vigilant.
Although Baron Kant sent troops from the north gate of Lionheart City, the first thing he had to deal with was the Duke of Lion Cameron at this time, but in the eyes of the nobles of the South County who did not know the existence of nobles in the world, the Duke of Lion Cameron Grand Duke, it is not worth Baron Kant sending such a powerful force at all. Therefore, it is self-evident what Baron Kant's wolfish ambitions are.
Baron Kant has already become the No. 1 nobleman in the Lion Principality in the eyes of the upper-class nobles except for the families of the five world nobles. Even many aristocrats spread some rumors that the Duke of Lion Cameron voluntarily gave up the position of Grand Duke to Baron Kant, hoping to remind Grand Duke Cameron to be clear about the situation and end Baron Kant’s war to win the Grand Duke at any time. The terror that the throne has caused them.
At this time, Baron Kant sent troops, bringing with him a terrifying force that could almost crush all the upper nobles of the South County. All the nobles of the South County were trembling under the pressure of Baron Kant. There are many upper-class nobles who are already preparing to leave the Principality of Lions—the performance of Baron Kant, the smart nobles can guess, will definitely not leave them, these old nobles, to stay in the Principality of Lions.
There are only two ways left for them-either die or roll.
As for letting them go all out to fight Baron Kant, that's fine. As long as they have aristocratic status, as long as they have power in their hands, they can develop their families well wherever they go, so why do they have to use their incomparably weak strength to smash the terrifying army of Baron Kant like an egg hitting a rock
If you succeed, there won't be too many benefits. After all, there are so many upper-class nobles, and the fruits of victory will not be distributed to each noble. If it fails, the family that has been passed down for more than 300 years will be directly exterminated.
The risks in this are too great, completely out of proportion to the benefits. The smart upper-class nobles of Nanjun will not let their family participate in such an adventure.
In Lionheart City, nobles from the noble districts of the Eastern District began to connect together one after another, discussing the future, discussing how to join the new principality or kingdom together, and discussing the conclusion of an alliance in advance, so as to avoid going to other places. The country is oppressed by the local nobles. After three hundred years of development, the upper-class nobles have already had complicated relationships. If they want to build relationships with each other, they are all relatives, which is too simple.
The upper-class nobles are very powerful. In Lionheart City alone, if they wish, they can gather tens of thousands of elite troops, and they can gather thousands of powerful soldiers at the level of great knights. However, they didn't take advantage of the emptiness of Lion Heart City at this time to forcefully occupy Lion Heart City.
The upper nobles are not very clear about the strength of Baron Kant. But they knew that Lionheart City was only one of Baron Kant's six great cities. The power in Lionheart City alone can crush the joint efforts of these upper-class nobles. If they dare to take advantage of the weakness of Lionheart City to seize Lionheart City, even if they succeed, I am afraid that the revenge from Baron Kant in the future will also make them Their noble family names became a small wave that disappeared in the long river of history.
The reaction of the upper-class nobles at this time was within Kant's calculations.
It's just that Kant is still ready to go to war with all the upper-class nobles in Nanjun. Because in Kant's thinking, the five world nobles can tolerate the development of such a powerful upper class nobles, it is impossible without any countermeasures.
Despite having such thoughts, Kant did not encircle and kill these nobles and the great knight-level forces, who accounted for nearly half of their families, in Lionheart City in advance before sending out troops.
At this time, Baron Kant had sent troops. It would take time for them to go out of the city, return to the territory for rectification, and leave the Principality of Lions. Their time was extremely tight. Therefore, the upper-class nobles in the eastern part of Lionheart City moved extremely quickly. Under the common external pressure, their talks, negotiations, and covenant signings were all very fast. Most of them have drawn up a general framework, and the remaining details are agreed to be signed when they escape from the Lion Principality.
Therefore, one hour after Baron Kant's soldiers left the north gate of Lion Heart City, the upper-class nobles in Lion Heart City had already connected together and signed their respective covenants. Afterwards, the ten-mile-long and thirty-meter-wide East Avenue in Lionheart City was completely packed with carriages of nobles, great knights under the nobles, and soldiers under the nobles.
At the east gate of Lion Heart City, Kant's soldiers are methodically letting the nobles pass, allowing them to leave Lion Heart City happily. Of course, it needs to be done after the nobles have paid the "exit fee".
The person in charge of handling this matter is naturally not the fifth-level arms guarding the city gate. Whether it is a Rhodok sergeant or a Swadian sergeant, they are not good at dealing with nobles. But for the sixth-level arms, letting them manage a huge territory alone may be full of mistakes and omissions, but asking them to stick to a principle to deal with the nobles is the most appropriate thing.
Thirty Swadian royal knights were dispatched by Kant to the east gate of Lionheart City to collect the "exit fee" from the nobles. The east gate of Lionheart City has three arched gate openings, each with a width of six meters. Ten royal Swadian knights are responsible for one gate opening, which is more than enough.
And the fifth-level bow and arrow crossbowmen on the tower, and the fifth-level infantry on both sides of the city gate, all have enough strength to ensure that they can charge the "exit fee" before letting the nobles go. Unless these nobles unite and attack the east gate of Lionheart City together. But for such an action, the nobles at the front and closest to the East City Gate would never agree. After all, no matter what the final result is, the guys at the front will definitely suffer heavy losses, and even their own lives as upper-class nobles may be lost.
Although it is impossible for them to unite and attack the east gate of Lionheart City, it is also difficult for them to pay the "exit fee" very "generously" and quickly. Baron Kant is really too ruthless, a "out of the city fee" can make the upper nobles with three hundred years of inheritance heartache.
