Warhammer Wizard
Chapter 469: Dragon Hall proceedings
Three days later, in the Dragon Hall.
Emily sat high on the Iron Throne, looking down at the courtiers under her seat.
Today, she is wearing an exquisite and intricate silver-white robe, with gold borders embroidered on the sleeves and neckline, exuding an indescribable temperament. Her long silver-gold hair was coiled up, and she wore a simple dragon-shaped crown on her head, which set off her not tall and exquisite body into a majestic king's demeanor.
Although it has not yet officially ascended the throne, the entire Congatro people already know that the kingdom will welcome a new queen!
For the past three days, the dragonborn army has marched north.
Emily, with centaurs and spear wing knights as the main body, as well as half of the wizarding group and extreme warriors, went straight to the Principality of Etis and the Principality of Brandon. Ren opened the Void Spirit Gate to transmit the army, and it only took half an hour to break through the capital of Aetis, "Flying Eagle City".
The vassals and lords of the Duchy of Aetis looked down on the wind and surrendered to His Majesty the Dragonborn.
Then the army took another two days to capture the capital of the Brandon Principality, "Eternal Winter City", as well as several major cities of the Brandon family. When the Dragonborn army arrived at Winterfell, the Brandon family hadn't even heard of Mark's death.
Dinglaji also took an extraordinary army to the west and successfully captured the leaderless Principality of Dansi.
So far, the Dragonborn have conquered all of Congatro.
"Everyone," Emily's eyes swept across the people in the Dragon Hall, and stayed on Ren's body for half a second, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, she said complacently: "Now is the time to discuss how to deal with it. captives, and future rule over the entire kingdom."
There are more than a dozen people under the Iron Throne, all important figures in the Dragonborn camp.
Hearing Emily's words, people were all refreshed and knew that it was time to distribute the benefits. Especially the dukes, princes and legendary extraordinary people of the major families of Congatero, some people are eagerly looking forward to it, some people are anxious, and their expressions are varied.
However, Emily waited for a few seconds and no one responded.
She frowned slightly, knowing that these people, except for Ren, might be trying to figure out their own thoughts. If she didn't speak up, they were unwilling to stand up.
Even the loyal Varogan, who has followed for many years, remained silent.
"Let's talk about the disposal of the prisoners first." Emily called by name: "Varogan, report the list of those prisoners for everyone to listen to."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Varogan stood up and respectfully saluted the queen on the throne, then turned around and read out the names one by one.
The list is very long. The heads are Duke Brandon and Coster of the Danse family. The rest are vassals and lords under Mark's command. Most of them are the heroes who overthrew the Drogonburg Dynasty. Of course, from Emilys. The angle is traitor and enemy.
Everyone on the list is a big name in the kingdom, and many more have been killed in the war over the past few days.
Varogan didn't read the records, and reported the names, families, and past experiences of these people from memory, and it took half an hour to finish.
After he finished speaking, he sat down again.
There was another silence in the Dragon Hall. The lords quietly raised their heads to look at the queen on the throne and noticed that her face was not good-looking. The names of these people seemed to evoke unpleasant memories for her.
Everyone looked at each other, not daring to be the first to speak.
But Dinglaji couldn't hold it any longer, got up and asked, "Your Majesty, please show me what to do with these prisoners."
"It's all cut."
Emily's answer was very simple, but it made everyone's heart skip a beat. Hearing her continue: "Everyone who participated in the usurpation war will be beheaded and deprived of their fiefs and surnames, including their families. Keep."
"Your Majesty!" Dinglaji paled in horror, "Is this too much to kill at least 2,000 people?"
"Hmph..." Emily's eyes were cold, and she said in a low voice, "In the war of usurpation, the enemy's butcher's knife has never shown mercy. Even if there are only a few people with dragonborn blood flowing in their bodies, few survive. And the vassal lords and people loyal to the Drogon family, how many do you think they killed?"
Dinglaji couldn't answer, but he expected the number to be more than 50,000!
In order to completely eliminate the influence of the Dragonborn and prevent the Drogon family from counterattacking, the army under Mark's command carried out a half-month-long purge. It still looks discolored.
Dinglaji also dared not answer this question.
Because at that time, the one who decided to kill the killer and thoroughly execute the massacre was his father, Duke Danse. Now that Duke Danse is dead, he is afraid that Her Majesty the Queen will take anger on the Danse family.
"Is Duke Brandon going to be executed too?" Dinglage asked, changing the subject.
Emily nodded without hesitation.
The hearts of the several dukes and princes present were all slightly stunned. Although they had already guessed the result, when it was really confirmed, they were still a little scared.
The execution of a duke, or a legendary high-level superhuman, is unique in the history of Congatro.
Before the usurpation war, the battles between the nobles were never broken. The seven major families maintained a tacit understanding, most ceded the land and paid indemnity, and rarely involved the life and death of the lord, let alone the life of a duke.
The usurpation war broke this unspoken rule, like releasing the demon in the abyss, and there is no turning back.
When Duke Brandon died, the blood feud between the two families deepened.
In the future, unless a family perishes, this hatred will never be resolved, but this is Mark and his allies breaking the rules first, and His Majesty's revenge is beyond reproach.
Duke Brandon had an excellent reputation among the people of Congatro, a man of generosity and justice, but he was the main force in overthrowing the dynasty of Drogonburg. It was because of his support that he led the Ice Wolf Knights to the south, attacked the Dragonborn's army with Mark's army on both sides, and besieged the capital of Kingsland.
The three giants of the Mark Rebels, and the other is Duke Etis, who is the think tank of the three, but he is dead, and he can only count the new hatred and old hatred on the head of Duke Brandon.
Seeing that Emily was determined, everyone did not dare to persuade her again, so as not to make her unhappy.
Dinglaji hesitated for a while, then asked boldly, "Your Majesty, Coster didn't participate in the affairs of the year, can you spare his life?"
Emily looked at her advisor with some hesitation in her eyes.
After a few seconds, she said, "Are you sure you want to intercede for him?" Before Dinglaji could answer, she said again, "I meant for you to inherit the throne of Duke Dans. If Coster doesn't die, he will be in the future. Your greatest threat."
Dinglaji couldn't help but froze when he heard the words.
His face was very complicated. As the son that his father hated the most and even hated, he was expelled from the family again. He never thought that he would one day inherit the throne of the duke.
The entire Duchy of Danse knew that Coster was the only heir.
Even if he conquered the Principality of Danse with the army these days, he never thought that he would be recognized by the family and the people. After all, the impression of himself when he was young was too bad.
Perhaps in the eyes of the clansmen, the current self is just a villain who is arrogant, not worthy of the title of duke at all.
Dinglaji's expression was gloomy and uncertain, and there seemed to be a voice in his heart that was tempting him. As long as he ignored Coster and let him be executed, then he could become the Duke of Dans, with His Majesty's support, no matter how much the clansmen opposed it, it was useless. , can be easily suppressed.
But he also thought of Koster's concern for himself, he is the only person in the family who is truly kind to himself.
All kinds of past events flashed through Dinglaji's mind.
"No..." Dinglaji's voice was a little hoarse, and he said with a struggling face: "I don't want to be the Duke of Dans. Please, Your Majesty, look at my affection and spare Coster's life. I have already interrogated this. He didn't know about the defection of the Cidance family, it was my father's idea, and he was kept in the dark."
He seemed to have exhausted all his strength to say this.
Everyone in the Dragon Hall is impressed. In this world, there is really someone who can refuse the temptation of the title of duke!
You know, His Majesty has always intended to appoint Dinglaji as the former Prime Minister of the Royal Family.
As one person, serving as both the duke and the prime minister, Dinglaji's future status in Congatro is second only to His Majesty and Rennes.
Emily looked at Dinglaji for a long time, and finally nodded.
"Okay." She agreed, "Koster must pay ten million gold dragon ransoms to survive, as well as the four territories bordering Fort Drogon, and..." She paused, "I want one of his One hand, right hand."
Dinglaji almost didn't jump up, these three conditions were more ruthless than the other.
Indemnity, ceding land, and breaking hands!
Moreover, Emilys designated Coster's right hand, which is his sword-handling hand. Once it is cut off, the strength will drop by more than 30%.
Coster is a legendary high-level superhuman with strong self-healing ability, but he cannot be reborn from a broken limb. Even if he goes to the empire and asks a legendary priest from the Church of the Earth to perform "recovery" with a seventh ring or higher, it will be difficult to grow his right hand again. return to its former strength.
This will also affect Coster's cultivation, and I am afraid that it will not be possible to upgrade within a few decades.
Obviously, His Majesty is still on guard against the Danse family, trying to stifle Coster's potential.
Dinglaji was about to object subconsciously, but met Emily's indifferent gaze, opened his mouth, and finally said only one word: "Yes."
Next, Emily continued to tell her plan.
The Duchy of Etis ceded five territories and merged into the Fort Drogon family. With the addition of the four territories of the Duchy of Danse to the west, Fort Drogon became the second largest duchy in Congatro, second only to Bran. Deng Principality. As the Principality of Brandon has no borders, the territory is barren and cold, and it is almost worthless, so there is no need to cede the land, but the compensation cannot be less.
Emily asked for only five million gold dragons and was allowed to pay it in ten years.
The entire Principality of Brandon has a population of only more than three million, and the production is scarce, so there is no such money at all. Even if only 500,000 gold dragons are turned in every year, it is like a mountain that weighs on the head of the Brandon family, making the Principality unable to breathe.
This is exactly what Emily wanted, squeezing the enemy's territory and people.
If it weren't for the fearful gods~www.wuxiaspot.com~ she would have directly wiped out these three families and would never have given them a chance to breathe.
The meeting in the Dragon Hall lasted for two hours, and Ren said nothing from the beginning to the end, watching Emily's ruthless means on the Iron Throne from the sidelines.
She is already a qualified queen.
After the meeting, he walked out of the Dragon Hall, and the figures of Kadegar and Kleos appeared in front of him, with a light smile on their faces.
"How is it?" Ren asked with concern. He originally thought that the two Speakers joined forces to kill the Lingfeng Stag, but he didn't expect it to take three days, and he almost thought that there was an accident.
"look by youself."
Kadegar took out a soul stone and handed it over.
Ren caught it and saw that there was a demon soul of a cyan giant deer in the soul stone, and more than 20 elements emerged, including the transcendent element he most wanted to see, "Endless Spring Breeze"!
