Chapter 873 Nobles and Prisoners

When Iron Ax walked into the messy Jinsui City, although his face was expressionless, he was also surprised at the destructive effect of the new firearm.

Although he has participated in the testing phase of this weapon called a mortar by His Majesty, putting it into actual combat and testing it are two different things.

A team consisting of five people, each carrying two shells, can make such a momentum without the support of backup ammunition, which is really shocking.

He knew that the rate of fire of mortars was much higher than that of front-mounted field guns, and he had envisioned the scene of dozens of group salvos, but when he saw it for the first time, he found that he still underestimated this firearm.

The single-shot power of the mortar is not as powerful as the fortress artillery, but it is light and easy to use. It can move with the army without the assistance of the witch, and it can also attack the target hidden behind the wall. With sufficient ammunition, it can strike the enemy Almost devastating. If it was the First Army to withstand such a firepower attack, he was not sure that the troops would be able to persist.

No... It's normal if you can't hold on. Facing the overwhelming rain of fire, it's not bad if you don't collapse from fright on the spot.

Iron Ax now finally understands why His Majesty confidently threw all those seemingly excellent field guns back to the kiln area - in front of the mortar, the solid-core projectile weapons used before are indeed no longer necessary to equip them .

But having said that, it is estimated that only His Majesty Roland in the entire Graycastle can afford such a firearm.

It is rumored that the cost of just one shell is about three or four gold dragons, which means that more than three hundred shells were fired in an instant just now, and the cost is nothing more than running water. The blooming bullets used by the fortress cannons are several times more expensive. If they face the devil in the future, will the golden dragons stored in the warehouse really be able to support Neverwinter until the end of the battle of divine will?

Fortunately, it wasn't him who should worry about this problem.

Let Barov have a headache. After all, the army has only one mission, and that is to win.

Crossing the long street filled with the smell of gunpowder, Iron Ax and his party came to the center of the city square.

This place has been surrounded layer by layer by the First Army, and all the surviving nobles have been brought here, waiting for disposal after surrender.

He swept across the disheveled crowd, and before he could speak, a nobleman stood up, "I am the Lord of the Fleet Bay, Earl Cassin, where is Your Majesty Roland?"

There are many water systems around Jinsui City, and most of the territories are named after bays and beaches. Tie Fu vaguely remembered that Fleet Bay was a big fiefdom between Jinsui and Haifeng County. A family that can occupy this kind of territory should enjoy enough Gained the admiration and fear of the people. But at this time, the other party's deliberately raised chin and reserved politeness seemed a little ridiculous. "Your Majesty has no time to take care of matters in the Eastern Territory. I will be solely responsible for this."

"You—?" Count Cassin frowned suddenly.

"What joke is this guy, he doesn't look like a Graycastle, does he?"

"Roland Wimbledon will let a sandman manage the army?"

"How could he not come to such a big event like an expedition? Isn't he afraid that the army will disperse?"

Not only the lord of Jianwan, but also a burst of doubt in the crowd.

"The commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front Army is indeed Master Iron Axe, we can all testify to that," the adjutant Xiongpao couldn't help shouting.

"Eastern Front Army? What is that?" Ka Xin asked.

"Naturally, it refers to the army that regained the Eastern Territory—"

"Bear's paw!" Iron Ax interrupted the adjutant sharply, and the latter also realized his slip of the tongue at this moment, and quickly covered his mouth with his hand.

Miss Edith is right, even though His Majesty has decided to take back the entrustment power and completely overthrow the traditional nobles, the influence of these people still exists. Bear's paw who was born as an Orion, although he could not be said to be servile to them, obviously still cared about that title. If not, he wouldn't have made such a low-level mistake.

Only he can do that.

Thinking of this, Iron Ax said in a deep voice, "Whether you believe it or not, the facts will not change. Besides, why did you come up to ask questions? Where is the Duke of Jinsui City? He should not be in charge of the East Territory ?"

"The Duke has already died in the battle." Ca Xin shook his head, showing a sad expression, "He insisted on leading the Knights to launch a frontal charge, and we failed to stop him."

So the guy who got sieved on the horse was the duke? Iron Ax raised his brows, as a fighter, he was qualified. "However, my soldiers reported that there were only two counterattackers. Where is the so-called Knights?" He looked at the nobles in the crowd who had not taken off their armor, "Could it be that the guardian of the Eastern Realm has only one knight under his command? "

"Uh, this..." Ka Xin was speechless for a moment.

"Don't mention what's there. Since you are the person in charge of the army, then we can tell you our request directly," another nobleman came out and said, "Surrender is fine, let everyone do it for Roland Wemble It's okay to serve him immediately, but he must see us. If His Majesty doesn't have time to come to the East, we can send envoys there."

"and who are you?"

"Viscount Arleigh Burke," the other party said impatiently, "Before that, we hope to be treated according to our status. If we need a ransom or a scapegoat, just say the amount."

"But you are guilty of treason," Iron Ax said expressionlessly, "Even if you are a nobleman, you cannot escape trial."

"First of all, the conspirator is Duke Willian Borg, and he has already paid the price. We are just doing nothing to stay here, and we should be dealt with lower-level according to the law."

"That's right, we are not his vassals, we are just under his control." At this moment, Ka Xin also came back to his senses, "Secondly, no matter what the verdict is, it is up to His Majesty to decide. Do you still want to Judge us?"

Iron Ax soon understood the reason why these nobles were still putting on airs even though they were defeated in the battle. When they found out that Roland Wimbledon had not led the army in person, they lost interest in talking. Obviously, according to common sense, how to deal with the defeated would not be known until the king met them. The next step was not so much a trial as an exchange of interests. Those who cannot pay are eliminated, while those who can reach an agreement can continue to retain their place, which is generally the case.

It should not be the first time they have faced such a defeat, and they also believe that they can come up with the conditions to impress the king.

It's a pity that the king he is loyal to is not a nobleman in the ordinary sense.

Iron Ax shrugged, "I do not have this right, but in the same way, before His Majesty makes a conclusion, you are still rebels, so I can only put you in the dungeon first, and wait until His Majesty is willing to see you."

"How long will it take?" the Earl of Chuanwan dissatisfied, "And as I said before, according to the laws of the kingdom, we can't count as treason unless you can find conclusive evidence!"

"According to the speed of the courier, at most one month." Iron Ax smiled rarely, ignoring the second half of the other party's sentence, "Please rest assured, I will provide your daily use and food according to noble standards. "

...

Two days later, in the middle of the night, Bearpaw rushed into Iron Ax's tent in a panic.

"No, my lord! The castle dungeon is on fire!"
