Lord of Flames - Chapter 384
Chapter 384: The deterrent power of the push order! Angry gods!
“They dare to do it. Aren’t they afraid of shaking the foundation of the Empire?”
On a noble’s fief, a blue-clothed noble said with a gloomy expression.
In the past few days, more than a fifth of the nobles of the Purple Gold Empire had been wiped out.
There were a few Duke-level top nobles here.
The Purple Gold Empire was small, so it could already be called a Duke. However, the number of Dukes in the Purple Gold Empire was limited.
There were two Dukes on the list!
If the Duke didn’t join in, these people wouldn’t be able to make such a big move.
Even the Temple Knights of God dared to set up a trap to attack, their courage was extraordinary!
However, after Meng Ying sent out the core knights, the attacks of these people did not succeed together!
The army of the Purple Gold Empire had already suffered heavy losses in the war. These nobles had already armed a large number of troops for the fight for the throne of the three princes and these troops had died in the end.
Although they could still spend a lot of money to gather some powerful warriors, they could not withstand a single blow from the core Temple Knights.
Twenty fifth-ranked core Temple Knights were enough to defeat thousands of second-ranked warriors.
This was how terrifying high-end combat power was.
On the battlefield, if there were no corresponding Temple Knights to restrain it, the Church’s Temple Knights would be enough to determine the outcome of a large-scale battle!
“We haven’t been found yet. What should we do? Should we continue?”
Another noble asked.
This time, not all the troublemakers were found out.
In order to mess with the Purple Golden Empire, the God of the Purple Golden Empire had a lot of things, including increasing their lifespan and increasing their strength.
In addition, they were in the dark and had a thorough plan, so they thought that they could control everything behind the scenes.
However, they did not expect that no matter how many schemes and tricks they had, in front of absolute strength, they would still be unable to withstand a single blow!
However, there were still many fishes that escaped the net that had not been found.
“No, it’s another battlefield now. If the Flame Empire dares to kill so many nobles, it’s an enemy of all the nobles. Viscount Raka, don’t reveal your identity. Contact the nobles who haven’t joined and let them unite to protest against the Flame Empire’s actions.”
The noble said.
“This is a good plan!”
Beside him, a noble praised.
In this operation, a large number of nobles did not join them.
However, the fact that the Flame Empire killed the nobles with no trial made the nobles feel threatened.
In the Continent of God, nobles were the cornerstone of a nation.
Therefore, even a king would not kill a noble without trial!
It would have been better to kill one or two occasionally. Like this time, killing nobles on a large scale, even if these nobles were suspected of causing trouble, they had already broken the rules because killing nobles required a trial, and the most important part of the trial was conclusive evidence!
Therefore, they could have cowed those nobles who did not stir up trouble and let the nobles who did not stir up trouble protest the massive killing of the nobles by the Flame Empire.
If the Flame Empire dared to kill these nobles, they would lose the hearts of the people in the Purple Gold Empire.
If they didn’t kill these nobles, then the Flame Empire would be forced to be embarrassed by these nobles and lose their prestige!
In short, the Flame Empire was in a dilemma!
“Of course it’s a good plan. This is the revelation from my God!”
The blue-clothed noble said calmly.
There was already a holy light on his body. The god of the Purple Gold Empire had chosen this noble in green as the new Holy Son.
This group of people moved very quickly.
A few days later, a large number of nobles who were not involved in the chaos were persuaded to rush to the imperial city of Purple Gold Empire.
They had to work together to pressure the Flame Empire.
The actions of the Flame Empire threatened all the nobles and they did not participate in the chaos, so they came out to pressure them.
“Queen, there are thousands of nobles gathered in the Imperial City. They are all accusing us of breaking the rules and traditions. They killed a large number of nobles without trial. They are very popular, and they have won the sympathy of many civilians. They are now gathered in the Purple Gold Square to meet the Queen.”
In the palace, a female official reported.
The imperial palace of the Purple Gold Empire had been destroyed.
The place where Meng Ying and Qing Ling lived was the palace that the Purple Gold Empire had spent a lot of money to rebuild. After the repairs were completed, no one had ever lived there. They were prepared to wait for the new emperor to succeed before moving in.
Now it was easier for Meng Ying and Qing Ling!
“Holy Maiden, I’ll deal with it. My God has already sent a message.”
Meng Ying said to Qing Ling.
Qing Ling nodded and said, “Well, you go.”
“Even if they are guilty, the Flame Empire will kill them today without trial. Tomorrow, they may kill us without trial. If we don’t speak today, today’s them will be tomorrow’s us!”
In the Purple Gold square, a noble shouted.
His words attracted the approval of many nobles.
“Yes. If the trial results show that they’re guilty, they deserve to die. But there was no trial. They killed two Dukes, five Marquises, ten Counts, and a hundred Viscounts. That’s too much.”
Immediately, someone agreed.
The nobles were well-organized and did not seem to be making trouble!
Around the square, there were hundreds of thousands of civilians who came to watch the show.
In the Continent of Gods, nobles and civilians were not opposed to each other. Many civilians relied on nobles to eat.
Of course, after the Flame Empire issued the reclamation order, the commoners no longer needed to rent land from the nobles. However, after a commoner finished farming their land, they would still go to the nobles’ land to help earn money.
Every commoner would dream of becoming a noble.
Therefore, the words of these nobles won the approval of a few civilians.
It was just that the commoners would not openly support the nobles. The Flame Empire had given them ten acres of land and returned them to the God Beads. They would not go against the Flame Empire and find trouble!
Look, this was the foundation of belief.
The original God of the Purple Gold Empire had almost no foundation of faith among the commoners, so he could only have the idea of a noble!
“Not bad.”
In the crowd, a noble spoke to the blue-clothed noble who had come up with this plan.
The noble nodded.
“I heard that the Queen of the Flame Empire is two women. Can a woman be a good emperor? Let’s see how she’ll end it later.” The blue-clothed noble said disdainfully.
At this moment, a strong magic wave came from the sky. Everyone felt a huge pressure.
“Are you trying to suppress me? Interesting, if you dare to do this, it would be exactly what we want.” The noble said.
However, the magic wave disappeared in a flash. Immediately after, more than ten figures appeared on the high platform in the middle of the square. The one in the middle had a green veil on her face, and her figure was slim. It was the young girl Meng Ying.
One of the Queens of the Flame Empire!
“Your Majesty, what crime did Duke Bonin commit? Why did you execute him without a trial? This did not conform to the law, nor did it conform to tradition!”
After Meng Ying arrived, a white-haired old Duke stood up and said.
“Yes, you’re Majesty. Even if Duke Charles committed a serious crime, he should be tried publicly. All Marquises and Count should vote to decide whether he should be executed. This is the tradition of all nations. Nobles are the cornerstone of a nation. We have no intention of going against the Empire, and we didn’t participate in it, but we want an explanation!”
Another old Viscount stepped forward.
When the two dukes stepped forward, the other nobles spoke.
“One by one.”
At this moment, a female official shouted.
Seeing that Meng Ying seemed to be prepared to listen to them, all of the nobles lined up and voiced their opinions. Some of the nobles even wanted the Flame Empire to enact legislation to protect the rights of the nobles.
Meng Ying stood there and listened quietly.
After two hours, Meng Ying gently pressed her hand.
