Chapter 52, Ruthless
Fortunately, he was confident in saying this.
Fourteen flying dragons roared over the castle. The shadows formed after they blocked the sunlight fell into the eyes of the castle soldiers as if the doomsday had come.
Two Light Salpers riding on the ground dragon and other soldiers slowly appeared behind Zhou Mingyue, which put huge pressure on the soldiers.
Squeak qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq
The castle gate slowly lowered, and a man in a scholar's robe walked out after a large group of people.
They are the secondary rulers of the castle.
Scholars, housekeepers, government officials, financial officials, tax officials, etc.
Their legs trembled, they came to Zhou Mingyue and slowly knelt down.
Zhou Mingyue was a little stunned. He thought Count Max was in the castle.
"Where is Earl Max?"
He asked with a look of surprise.
"Earl Max came back a month ago and left after that, nowhere was found."
The housekeeper stammered and said nothing, but the scholar said honestly.
Zhou Mingyue then asked carefully before he learned that Earl Max had really abandoned the city and ran away.
I'll go!
This is a cruel person!
He doesn't even want such a big foundation in his own country?
But after thinking about it, Earl Max is extremely decisive in doing things. If he is in this position, it is hard to say that he would give up because of the threat from others.
There is no heir in the castle.
Both of the Count Max's sons acted as knight attendants in His Majesty's guard.
Well, this is aristocratic practice.
The son of a lower-level nobleman will send at least one person to the superior nobleman's family to serve as a knight attendant, which is also the source of the knight attendant.
The Countess is still in the castle.
But the problem is that the countess is in his thirties. Although he is well maintained, he is really unappreciated.
There is no way, the aesthetics between the earth and the other world are somewhat different.
What's more, Zhou Mingyue is not Cao A-man.
Besides, the revenge of Count Max's sneak attack made Zhou Mingyue feel uneasy, and he still wants me to help you take care of your wife? Bah!
Forget it, go to the royal city to have a look.
Zhou Mingyue searched in the castle treasure house, but he didn't find anything in the treasure, and there were not many gold and silver coins, but there were a lot of copper coins.
In the end, he couldn't bear to catch the treasure house in one go, but just took a little gold coins and left.
As for this Earl's territory, it's useless for him to occupy it.
Not to mention whether the noble Senate would admit it, whether His Majesty the King felt that Zhou Mingyue offended his authority because of this. Just so many people need to be supported, Zhou Mingyue felt extremely headache.
After throwing Max Castle to the officials to manage, Zhou Mingyue took his subordinates to the road.
If you want to pass through the Earl Max, it is not too far from the royal city, which is the distance between two viscounts and one marquis.
The two viscounts happened to help Earl Max fight before. They had just been released less than a month ago. Even though they knew that Zhou Mingyue's team had passed through their territory, they did not dare to speak out to block them.
However, these two viscounts seem much better than the Earl Max who has just experienced the war, at least not so miserable.
But when he entered the Marquis destiny of Mislang, Zhou Mingyue was stopped.
"Mr. Marquis said that due to the invasion of the Arnell Kingdom army, the tolls increased by 20%, and the commercial tax increased by 30%. If there is any violation of the order, the shackles will last for three days!"
The road entering the Marquis destiny of the Marquis de Mislang was blocked by several wooden fences. More than a dozen standing soldiers stood on both sides of the road with long spears. A middle-aged man in a short silk robe was hoarsely promoting the Marquis' new policy to the passing caravans.
According to the merchant next to him, this middle-aged man was Lord Remecon, the tax officer of Marquis Mislang.
This master can be called the master of boiling bones and plucking hairs by the geese.
Not to mention that Marquis Mislang requested tolls and the price increase of commercial taxes. Even if the price did not increase, this person often squats and asks for food and drink, which can be said to be a traitor.
Therefore, when he heard what Macon said, the caravans who were waiting to pass the checkpoint sighed and looked embarrassed.
Think about it, this caravan’s business route is not just passing through a marquis. If you want to sell the goods at a high price, then naturally the farther you are from the place of origin, the better.
But you have to pay taxes when passing through these noble territories!
That is to say, the farther the taxes and fees are higher.
In this way, if this adults from the Macon wanted to raise the price, it directly affected the interests of these caravans.
However, Zhou Mingyue did not intend to get involved, he was just a passerby.
But what he never expected was that the army led by the two ravens was stopped when they arrived at the checkpoint.
"Stop! This is the Marquis of Mislang, and everyone must pay the toll!"
When the soldiers saw the huge giant beasts walking over, they were all frightened to their faces. But Lai Macon actually blocked the earth dragon directly. Although their legs looked a little shaking, their voices were loud and they were extremely bold.
I'll go!
Do you think you are an extremely honest and strong man?
Zhou Mingyue looked at Macon and was speechless.
Didn't you see the ground dragon's feet the size of a dustpan? It's a meat pie if you step on it!
But Zhou Mingyue was always considering a peaceful solution. After all, he went to the royal city and might have met more people. It was impossible to shout and kill someone when he met, right?
"My Lord is a pioneer in the wilderness, Lord Zhou, the independent knight named by His Majesty King Flor. Why don't you get out of here!"
Zhou Mingyue is now a person with some status, and he needs face in this public courtyard.
With a thought, a bright halberd soldier immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly.
"Independent Knight?"
Then Macon looked a little panicked, but after his eyes swept over Zhou Mingyue, he seemed to have confirmed something, and his courage became bigger, and then he sneered: "What independent knight, I have never heard of it! I have never seen a noble without a family badge!"
Zhou Mingyue choked when he came to Macon.
Well, although the other party said something a little bit presumptuous, it was not too wrong.
The quickest way to identify aristocrats in this world is to see if you have a family badge. It is almost the same as seeing whether you have a luxury car on the earth to identify whether you are a rich man.
Zhou Mingyue does not have a family badge, so he hasn't had time yet.
Of course, with his current ambition, he was not willing to get too involved with Laimacon. With a wave of his right hand, the Dragoon cavalry immediately moved forward, and his huge soles stepped on Laimacon.
Suddenly, a scream of exclamation came from all around.
But when the soles of the dragon fell to the ground, Macon had already pounced on the side and lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up. It was because it was a fall and hurt.
Obviously, although this guy looks extremely tough, he is not a fool and will not use his life to confront the earth dragon's soles.
