Chapter 269: The performance of many nobles before the end of the war

When Grand Duke Bogonghan was alive, she was a member of the neutral faction.

After the words of the fifth prince, she switched to the camp of the eldest prince Kaia.

As the eldest prince expelled the third prince from the royal capital, she was very grateful for her wise decision.

After the Bahio Kingdom's expeditionary force entered the Principality of Bergghan, she contributed her two daughters and retained a certain degree of autonomy in the Northern Army. She did not need to send troops to fight, but she needed to provide supplies.

In Chloe's view, this matter is a sure-profit deal.

"Haha, if you want to take away my title, I am not a lamb to be slaughtered." Chloe tore up the list of expulsions in her hand and handed over to her head maid.

"Master." A woman wearing a maid outfit came to the study, wearing glasses, putting her hands on her abdomen, bending forward slightly, and saluted Chloe.

"Lina, go down and mobilize all the troops in the territory, recruit adventurers, and notify my vassals. If you don't want to die, please do it for me."

"Yes, Master." The head maid Lina lowered her head and replied.

After the head maid left, Chloe summoned her own Rose Guard. There were three hundred female swordsmen in total, including three mid-level silver swordsmen, ten low-level silver level swordsmen, and 287 high-level bronze swordsmen. They were her absolute Even if they are asked to commit suicide now, their confidants will not hesitate at all.

Thirty years ago, she collected more than 2,000 baby girls, invested a lot of resources, used cruel methods, and used oaths to get these 300 people.

In Chloe's eyes, nothing is as important as power.

Children, if you die, you can be reborn.

Husband, if you don’t have it, you can find it again.

Thirty years ago, Chloe personally killed her two daughters and husband because they wanted to snatch her power.

In order to prevent Chow Chow from losing, she needs to prepare a retreat in advance and send her wealth abroad.

She doesn't trust anyone except her own Rose Guard as an executive candidate.

As for why she didn’t leave with her wealth in advance and go to the Kingdom of Basio, it was because Chloe was unwilling to give up. Why did the third prince just say a word and she had to give up her territory and the pine tree that she had been running for more than sixty years? Lion collar.

…

In the South Desarin Province, no small nobles encountered along the way were spared, and they were all robbed by Weilin.

For those who had a good attitude and voluntarily surrendered, Weilin allowed them to take away one-tenth of their property, go to the seaside, and leave the Principality of Bogonghan by boat.

Those with bad attitudes were immediately taken into custody, and all of them were imprisoned, handed over to the Southern Army, and escorted back to Beiyicheng to await processing.

Along the way, Kyle put what he learned into practice.

The surrendered nobles will definitely need escorts when they go to the seaside. They only need to pay a few gold coins to take away their loyal guards.

If you have a guard, you need weapons. You only need a few gold coins to buy confiscated weapons.

If there are enough people, food will be needed.

The journey was long and required various forms of transportation such as horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts.

Although most of the nobles surrendered voluntarily, they could not take away many gold coins. This was not because of the lack of wealth, but because the words of Kyle, a profiteer, were very convincing.

Passing through more than twenty baron and viscount territories, the wealth in his hands expanded rapidly, but they were all valuable things, such as food, weapons, livestock, cloth, etc., all turned into shiny gold coins.

"Count Deyo, you are a nobleman who knows the current affairs."

"Lord Verin is joking, I'm just ashamed of betraying His Highness Allen, and now I want to atone for my previous sins." A rich middle-aged man said with a smile, not feeling sad at all about being expelled from the knighthood.

"Don't worry, I promise to keep what I say. As long as the nobles surrender, I will let them go unconditionally and take away one-tenth of the wealth. I will never break my promise."

"My lord, please take a step to speak." Count Dejo said in a low voice to Verin with a smile on his face.

The two came to the side and started talking quietly.

"Lord Weilin, I have two secret treasury, and I am willing to give you a third of it as a gift. I hope you will turn a blind eye and let me take out the things. These things are not included in my wealth. , and there is no account book, so there is no need to hand it in, right?”

"Well! It's a bit difficult to handle. You know that my father is the acting governor of the two provinces. As his son..."

Count Deyo was not angry, and still said with a smile: "I am willing to give half of it."

"The count is a sensible person, so there is no problem."

"Thank you for your magnanimity, sir." Count Deyo breathed a sigh of relief and thanked the other party.

"Mutual benefit, mutual benefit." Weilin said with a smile, staring at the other person and feeling a little scared.

Later, Kyle stepped forward to discuss business with the former Count Deyo, and "earned" most of his apparent wealth.

Dredd did not stop what was happening before him.

The more wealth Master Weilin has left in his hands, the more gold coins everyone can get if they go back and divide the money, so why not do it.

Although the Count of Dejo is one of the six counts in the southern province of Salin, its territory is small, only more than 3,000 square kilometers, and there are not many nobles under its enfeoffment. All the troops were wiped out in the previous war, and there are only a few left. There are more than a thousand people, more than half of whom are strong men who have been forcibly recruited within half a year and are not of much use.

Now he just wants to leave this place and go to other countries. With his own strength and talent, there is no problem whether he is a wealthy businessman or an official. Although it is not as good as a noble who holds the power of life and death, it is better than being liquidated and hanged by the king. Much more.

He probably won't come back from this place. If he doesn't take the things away now, will he leave them to those adventurers who are like rats?

For the next five days, the Third Battalion did not leave Deyue City. On the one hand, they were stationed here, waiting for the investigators from the headquarters to investigate and inspect the property, and on the other hand, they were waiting for reinforcements.

He got two locations from his father, one was Deyue Territory, and the other was Songshi Territory.

According to the information he got, the Countess who was crowned as Lady Rose was actively preparing for war, intending to use the army in her hands to resist the glorious trend.

He couldn't bear to let his own troops take the lead, so he directly transferred two battalions of the Southern Army from the rear of Chris Province in the name of his father.

Calculating the time, it will take six days to arrive in Deyue City.

In his opinion, this Lady Rose was just a dying struggle, and she could attack Songshi Territory at any time.

At the beginning of December, the investigators from the headquarters received 60 percent of the wealth and set off back to the capital. As for the other rebellious nobles, except for those who resisted and were captured, they did not question the others who were released.
