- Chapter 446 - The framed war, the dignity of justice, and the sudden arrival of the Holy See to disrupt the situation
The people in this world are still too ‘simple’, Ryan thought as he looked at the news coming back from the Kingdom of Serra.
But after thinking about it, I can understand that before the first person who used the Thirty-Six Strategies appeared, humans never thought that things could develop like this.
The ending of new tricks requires someone to bear the bitter consequences.
“Valencia’s dignity cannot be desecrated!”
In the Kingdom of Serra, the bloodline of the Valencia family openly declared war against the Mendez family.
“We have lost our land and our status as nobility. We are wandering in this land that does not belong to us!”
“Blood, dignity, Valencia’s ancient glory and honor are our only remaining perseverance!”
“No matter how much Valencia loses, our bloodline is still the noble bloodline! The ancient land and the immortal gods bear witness to our dignity!”
“But Mendes dared to trample on Valencia’s only glory!”
“They shamelessly killed Zar. Do they think we will endure it for the sake of our family’s inheritance?”
“I swear by the blood of Valencia, this will never be allowed! We will give everything to tell the Mendez family that the dignity of the Valencia family cannot be desecrated!”
“Revenge! Kill them!!!”
Kelder roared loudly. In a land ruled by the nobility, only those who represent the nobility can shout, but now no one appears to stop the Valencia family’s procession.
They have gained the support of some wandering nobles. Although the wandering nobles have no land, no people, and no wealth, they still have more or less connections between people.
For example, these nobles who come to the Kingdom of Sera can actually find ancient relationships with the nobles of the Kingdom of Sera through their own blood. This is the threshold for them to come to the Kingdom of Sera.
The lobbying of the wandering nobles made some nobles choose to wait and watch in confusion. They did not understand the truth. It was not until they heard about it that they suddenly realized it, and then looked at the Mendez family strangely.
Is Mendes so cunning?
The nobles did not realize that Valencia had deceived them, and they did not think that anyone would dare to deceive all the nobles.
So… Mendes was confused.
The Baron Mendez family looked blankly at the sudden outbreak of war. Listening to the unrealistic words from the other side, the Mendez people opened their eyes wide and felt like they were going crazy.
Or the world has gone crazy.
“Valencia lunatics! What are you talking about? We didn’t frame Zale.”
“He was killed by someone from the Dean family.”
The Mendez family looked at the growing rumors with some disbelief, which said that Mendez was evil, defrauding the population of the wandering noble family of Valencia, deceiving the knights of the Valencia family into their own home, and then He killed him behind closed doors, and before killing him, he shamelessly used his power to kill the heir of the Dean family.
Everyone in the two aristocratic territories of Mendez and Dean was aware of the conflict in the forest, so after a short period of reasoning, they believed in the sudden thunderstorm.
They think this is very likely to happen. Of course, it has nothing to do with them. They are just spectators and want this thing to be more explosive.
“This absolutely did not happen. Mendes’s credibility will not allow you, a damn wandering noble, to blaspheme!”
“I will swear by the dignity of Valencia’s blood. Under the blood oath, all the descendants of Valencia will launch an endless war of revenge against Mendez!”
Kelder’s face was red, his eyes were roaring with anger, and his miserable appearance made the nobles feel pitiful.
Nobles are kind and compassionate when their interests are irrelevant. This is a good virtue they carry.
“Damn guy, how dare you frame Mendes!”
The Mendez family was also angry. The honor of the family was threatened and persecuted, which made their anger unquenchable. Someone immediately led the knights and killed them in the direction of the Valencia family. It was inevitable to clean up the Mendez family. The filth on the body.
But at this time, Kony of the Dean family made this matter reach the peak of the attention of the nobles.
“The Mendez family is slanderous. I can swear on the family crest that no one from the Dean family killed Zal Valencia!”
“If the oath is broken, the great and immortal gods will condemn the Dean family bloodline, and all the honor of the Dean family will be stripped away.”
The vicious oath was not directed at himself, but rather viciously nailed the Mendez family to the pillar of shame of being a wandering aristocratic member who was framed for getting married.
Mendez said that the Valencian tribesman was killed by the Dean family, but the Dean family swore in the name of nobility that they would not kill him. So there is no need to say more about the answer. Could it be that the knight committed suicide? It doesn’t work?
Suicide in public? And make everyone in the Dean family blind and unable to see?
For a moment, the wind blew down the coat of arms of the Mendez family, and the nobles expressed infinite contempt for the way the Mendez family did things.
So despicable.
“No, absolutely not!”
The members of Mendez were trembling all over, and even they themselves doubted whether the Baron had given such an order. The members of Mendez who had originally rushed to the royal city suddenly froze in a stalemate halfway, under the disdainful eyes of other nobles. In despair, he tucked his tail between his legs and fled back to his family.
“Damn the wandering nobles, damn Dean!”
Baron Mendes angrily smashed everything on the ground in his castle. He had no way to defend himself, and the Valencia family had already openly launched a war against Mendes. Moreover, because of this absurd but impeccable reason, the nobles could not provide any help to Mendes, so as not to be stained by the stench here.
The victory or defeat of the war is a trivial matter. If this incident affects the reputation and prestige of the family, it will be miserable.
“They are just dealing with a wandering noble. It is doubtful whether Valencia can produce a second knight. Mendes will not lose.”
The nobles who have interests in the Baron Mendes family thought so. They are willing to help, but they have to wait until the stench on Mendes disappears.
However, no one expected that the Valencia family would gather an army of more than 300 people in just a few days.
Taking advantage of the tragic experience of the Valencia family in this incident, Valencia successfully borrowed soldiers from some nobles, formed an army of 300 people, and launched a mighty attack on Mendes.
There were knights inside.
“For the dignity of Valencia!”
The nobles had no room to condemn Valencia for the declaration of this war. Valencia had already given everything, using all that was left of his past noble status to fight the war. Failure would mean annihilation of the entire army and the demise of this noble family. If it succeeded…
To be honest, no noble believed that Valencia could succeed.
Valencia himself was the same.
“Kelder, do you think we can win?”
These 300 people had no hope of defeating Mendes. The barony had a population of nearly 2,000 and had cultivated the land for so many years.
“We will definitely win, because this is the dignity of Valencia, and we will never allow the honor of Valencia to be desecrated.”
“Even if we fight to the last man, we must win.”
“This is a heavy responsibility in our blood.”
Kelder was also worried. He was very close to the Mendes family. When the war broke out, it might be the time when the Valencia family would perish.
On the other hand, Mendes also angrily formed an army to wait for the opportunity. Their noble honor was framed, which would naturally stimulate the fighting power of the Mendes family bloodline.
“Kill those damn wandering nobles. They should not appear on the land of the kingdom. There are no wandering nobles here, only dead nobles!”
At the critical moment, the Dean family intervened.
The new heir, Connie Dean, who had knelt in front of the tomb for three days and three nights, put on exquisite armor, rode on a warhorse, and looked at Mendes angrily.
“I’m back for the one who can’t come back.”
“The pain that the Dean family has endured will be returned a hundredfold to our enemies.”
“I will personally avenge my brother. The blood of the nobles must end with the swords of the nobles!”
Unlike the army of Valencia, the army formed by a normal noble, the fluttering Dean family emblem flag, brought pressure to all the nobles around, which is worthy of attention. When the army passed through, even the nobles had to be nervous and temporarily formed an army to be vigilant.
But unlike the powerful wandering nobles next to them, the Dean family actually lost an heir. The death of a noble heir is a bad thing in the eyes of any noble. The revenge of the Dean family is not even the king.
Just like this, by coincidence, the army of the Dean family and the ragtag army led by Caild Valencia collided on the same day and appeared on the edge of the Mendes Baron’s territory.
“Attack! For the dignity of the family!”
“Revenge! The blood of the Dean family cannot die in vain!”
The war was about to break out, and Baron Mendes looked grim. He could fight against a war on one side, but he could not fight against wars on two sides at the same time.
“Damn it, how could it turn out like this!”
Baron Mendes pounded the table, and suddenly reacted, looking up with a murderous look in his eyes.
“Yes, it must be like this, the damn Dean family actually joined forces with the wandering nobles.”
“The Dean family knew that they were no match for me, Mendes, so they wanted to make the wandering nobles their cannon fodder.”
“Damn guys, they are so cunning, and the oath of the nobles is so casual…”
Baron Mendes suddenly reacted, the oath of the Dean family might not be false, that Zar Valencia really did not die in their hands.
How did he die? ! !
Baron Mendes couldn’t believe it, he didn’t know the process of that battle, and now there was no other way except to endure the war.
“Fortunately, I borrowed some knights from Archduke Carlos before.”
Baron Mendes was still in shock. He was more skilled and could not lose this war.
“Dean!!!”
This work was compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
“Dean!!!”
“Dean!!!”
On the battlefield, the soldiers cheered and roared, because Connie killed several knights.
“Revenge for the blood of Dean!”
Connie waved the knight’s sword in his hand, and the ice-blue Frostmourne made the dead knight pale, but the wound was frozen and could not bleed.
“These servants of Archduke Carlos are so vulnerable.”
Baron Mendes trembled and looked at Connie Dean in shock. How could the second son of the Dean family become so powerful?
“It’s over.”
He gritted his teeth. If this war failed, the Mendes family would lose the forest that brought the greatest wealth, and they would have to compensate the Dean family. In the next ten years, they would not have the opportunity to counterattack the Dean family.
“It shouldn’t be like this.”
Baron Mendes looked at Connie Dean desperately, who was charging on the battlefield and smashing his army into pieces. Did he lose this war so easily?
Good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone. Baron Mendes soon heard news from the soldiers on another battlefield. The army of Valencia was fighting fiercely with another army of his own. The wandering nobleman actually had such strength.
“We lost, Baron. The noble from Valencia killed your servants, and all your soldiers were captured!”
Another soldier ran over in a panic and told Baron Mendes the bad news from afar. Hearing this news, Baron Mendes felt a little dizzy and was about to faint.
“Master!”
The servants supported the baron, and Baron Mendes’ hands trembled slightly. He didn’t understand why the ending was like this.
“It’s over, everything is over, and the wealth accumulated by the Mendes family for hundreds of years will disappear in my hands.”
The baron was desperate, and in the distance, the staff of the frozen land who watched all this secretly were relieved.
“It seems that Lord Ryan will smoothly control the power of this area.”
Alberto smiled with satisfaction. After completing this matter, he can be regarded as a firm foothold in the frozen land.
There is no way. Although the small frozen land is just a baron’s land in name, they all know that there are many former nobles and new nobles in it.
The competitive pressure is great.
“I should too…”
Appia, wearing a cloak, was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly froze in place, looking up at the direction of the forest, where the snow-white holy light illuminated a large area.
Archbishop Adriana, the head of the Kingdom of Serra of the Dawn Church, whose prestige here was no less than that of the Pope’s clergy, actually appeared here.
On the battlefield, Adriana walked calmly on the land. Wherever she passed, all the fighting disappeared. The soldiers knelt on the ground in awe, and the knights stopped, not knowing whether to continue.
Adriana did not speak. She just appeared and made the war peaceful. Finally, she came in front of Connie.
Staring at the woman in front of him, Connie was nervous. Whether he could beat her or not was not a problem. He was a nobleman and the other party was an archbishop. There was no hidden danger of fighting between the two sides.
However, because of Lord Ryan’s relationship, Lord Ryan is a noble of the empire, and he has made his choice to confront the Church. So strictly speaking, he is also standing outside the circle of the Church. Now facing the person in the Church whose power and prestige are not inferior to the king, Connie is a little overwhelmed.
“Connie Dean, the future baron, are you willing to serve the dawn that illuminates the darkness, the snow-white glory, or the immortal golden light?”
Archbishop Adriana asked this, making Connie even more nervous, wondering if the archbishop had discovered the relationship between him and Lord Ryan.
Dawn or light, this is simply a death question. No matter which one you answer, you will offend another overlord on the Norris continent.
Knights can ignore these. The glory and heartbeat of knights is to serve nobles, but nobles have a lot to consider.
Interests and politics, all kinds of messes must be taken into consideration.
He doesn’t understand why Adriana appeared here.
“I…”
“Whether it is the dawn or the light, they are both great existences, and I am not qualified to choose.”
Connie is also a nobleman, and the professional skills of the nobles are fully mastered in this sentence.
“It seems that you are also a mortal swallowed by desire.”
Adriana has already got the answer, shook her head and turned away, and came to Baron Mendes.
“Mr. Baron Mendes, are you serving the snow-white glory of the dawn or the golden light?”
“Dawn! The Mendes family will always be believers of the dawn, and we have always been eager to touch the glory of the Lord.”
Adriana nodded. She was not satisfied with the answer of the baron in front of her, but the other party’s answer made her qualified to proceed to the next step.
The clergy of the Holy See cannot break into other people’s homes without the consent of the nobles, right? Unless the other party actively invites them.
“Then, are you willing to let me select believers with true faith in your territory?”
“Yes, of course. I wonder how long the Archbishop wants to select.”
Baron Mendes nodded frantically as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw. In the eyes of Archbishop Adriana, he was also a mortal swallowed by desire, but perhaps in Mendes’ territory, he could find the same kind of people he wanted.
She did not answer, but entered the territory of Baron Mendes, which forced the war to stop, because Connie had discovered that with the arrival of Archbishop Adriana, some clergy of the Church and fanatics also followed. They would not let the war disturb their Archbishop. This was the prestige of Archbishop Adriana in this land.
That day, Baron Mendes announced that he regarded Valencia as his mortal enemy. Because of the arrival of the Archbishop of the Dawn Church, the nobles wavered again, wondering if Valencia really lied and the Archbishop came to evolve lies.
The result was that the war ended hastily.
In the frozen land, Ryan was silent for a long time when he received the news from afar.
He had been arranging for so long, but it failed like this? It shouldn’t be.
“It seems that I have found the wrong direction. The Kingdom of Sera is a fence-sitter. What can really determine my right to speak on the Kingdom of Sera is still to be established between theocracy and royal power.”
Ryan suddenly realized that the policies of the Kingdom of Sera were established by the king and the Church, and now the king is playing the turtle, and theocracy is gaining the upper hand.
“But… it’s not a complete failure.”
He didn’t destroy the Baron of Mendes, but at least behind this incident, Ryan can gradually control the wandering noble groups in the Kingdom of Sera.
They are not small in power.
Before that, Ryan also planned to test McReynolds’s attitude and find out what the legendary wizard Emperor Feng was thinking.
