Chapter 231 Alliance 2

"That old man Maltz once robbed a group of my horses because I said bad things about him behind his back. Of course, he made it all up. I always say bad things about him to his face."

"A village on my border was forcibly taken over by the Kent family. Woohoo~~ That was the ancestral territory of my ancestor when he was a knight."

"And that little beast from the Kent family, he openly took away the people who had offended him in my territory without even saying hello. Those are the people of my territory. You have to look at the owner to beat a dog. This kid doesn't know anything about it. Don’t take me as a lord seriously.”

"When my territory was invaded by pirates, he actually provided me with assistance on the condition that I pledge allegiance to him. This is really arrogant and rude. Doesn't he know that I am a loyal subject of His Majesty the King?"

"Three years ago, Viscount Cole was framed by Maltz and falsely accused of secretly opposing Count Ferdinand. As a result, the entire family was exiled and his family's property was annexed by the Kent family. I still remember this incident vividly, and when I think about it, My back feels cold.”

"He also built dams in his own territory and charged water fees during the dry season. Lords like us in the lower reaches of the river have to be extorted by him every year."

"Maltz Kent, villain! villain!"

…

There was a lot of noise in the hall, as the lords told each other about the crimes of the Kent family and expressed their dissatisfaction with this domineering family.

Everyone became more and more enthusiastic as they talked, and the Kent family had become heinous bastards.

Seeing that the fire was almost done, Earl Parker stood up and waved his hands.

"Everyone! Quiet! Quiet!"

Following his words, the sound in the hall gradually became silent, and everyone looked at Price Parker.

The old earl said loudly: "We are just saying here that it will not hurt the Kent family. Only by taking practical actions can we defeat him."

Immediately someone shouted: "Your Majesty, please tell us what to do!"

With the leader in charge, others also joined in, expressing their intention to fight the Kent family to the end.

The old earl immediately replied: "Cooperation! Only by working together can we fight against the Kent family! There are only nearly half of the lords in the northwest bay in this hall now, which means that half of the lords are supporting - at least not against Mal Kent. Now he can take advantage of the Duke and control the power of the Ferdinand family. We are still inferior in strength, so we must unite."

"The old count is right!"

"Let us unite to deal with the Kent family!"

Seeing that no one was naysaying, Price Parker secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The lords attending this meeting were all carefully selected and invited by him, but he did not expect it to go so smoothly.

Humph, Maltz Kent, you are usually arrogant, arrogant and domineering, but you didn't expect that you have secretly made so many enemies.

"Occupying the advantage of strength, Maltz will never surrender. We will have to fight him sooner or later. We all have the money and strength to contribute, so let's take stock of the strength we have at hand. Let me say it first, Our Parker family can provide 50 knights and 1,500 soldiers."

Hearing what the old earl said, the lords in the hall also reported their contribution. Before coming, they all guessed that something like this would happen this time and had already made careful calculations.

"My Malkan family can provide 50 knights and 1,200 soldiers."

"My Heller family can provide 30 knights and 1,300 soldiers."

"My Johnston family can provide 20 knights and 1,000 soldiers."

…

It was Paul and Myron's turn. Paul reported the number of troops that the two families could provide: "The Gleyman family and the Gardner family can provide a combined total of 1,000 soldiers."

Earl Parker stroked his beard and nodded. Everyone knew that the population of Arda was not prosperous and that Bailding suffered another rebellion last year. It was understandable that they could only provide 1,000 people in total.

After all the lords reported in a circle, they could organize a "big army" of more than 500 knights and more than 12,000 soldiers.

Paul thought to himself: "Half of the lords in the northwest can provide more than 10,000 soldiers. If the lords across the country spare no effort to support the royal family, I am afraid that the rebellion in the south will be put down in only half a year."

Paul subconsciously substituted the soldiers trained by Alda. He forgot that most of the soldiers mentioned by these lords were farmers recruited temporarily. If the lords really provide these farmers and soldiers to the royal family, how to manage them will be a huge trouble for the royal family. It is a long way to go to the south to fight the rebellion. It is not like fighting a war on their own doorstep like dealing with the Kent family. The logistical capacity of this era to feed and drink these people would be a disaster. And these soldiers cannot stay on the battlefield for a long time, otherwise who will farm the land.

Earl Parker was very satisfied with the strength of the alliance. He smiled happily and twirled his beard and said:

"Okay! Our strength can fully compete with Maltz Kent and his associates. In addition, we must report to His Majesty the King the Kent family's crime of kidnapping the Lord and conspiracy to rebel, and report his witchcraft to the church. Suspicion, let righteousness stand on our side and win more support. "

So the lords agreed on detailed steps.

There is no mistake. One post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, one read!

After returning, everyone began to recruit troops, train the army, and guard their respective territories. Once the Kent family found something wrong and sent troops to attack, other lords would immediately go to rescue.

After the troops were almost ready, the lords jointly wrote a letter to inform the whole country, exposing the Kent family's misconduct, focusing on reporting to the royal family and the church. In addition to holding the master hostage, intending to rebel and manipulating witchcraft, of course, it also included all kinds of oppression on everyone in daily life.

At the same time, an ultimatum was issued to the Kent family, asking Martz Kent to confess immediately. If he could downgrade his title by one level, release Duke Ferdinand, return the benefits extorted from everyone, and pay a considerable fine, everyone would work together to protect him from the pursuit of the royal family and the church. After all, he was also a noble and lord of the Northwest Bay, and he still had to be given a chance to reform.

Paul had some objections at first. According to him, when dealing with people like Martz Kent, they had to beat him to death after defeating him.

Mailon quietly persuaded him: "Everyone will be scared if you propose this. I don't know about other places, but in the Northwest Bay, it is an unwritten rule among the lords to leave a way out for each other - if there is no deep hatred between each other."

"Leave a way out for each other so that we can meet again in the future?"

"Yes, that's what I mean. You describe it very well. There are not many things that can make the lords beat each other to death."

"What are they?"

"Parricide or... rebellion of the people."
