Alison did not know that she had been identified by the deacon as a tool for the Church of the Rose to reserve inhuman characteristics. At this time, she had already arrived in a carriage and arrived at the Consulate that was transformed by the palace.

A group of nobles stood at the door. Guards were not allowed to enter, but more than 800 nobles and more than 200 palace nobles from the royal capital gathered together. This number was also very large.

"There are ten duchies. Each duchy has eight to twelve counts, four to seven viscounts, and seventy to one hundred and fifty barons. Do the math. Except for the fact that they are all dead here, can it not be too many?

?”

Following the lead of the receptionist, a group of nobles began to enter the palace. The nobles of the royal capital were talking quietly on the way. In comparison, the nobles heading to the royal capital from the south were much quieter. Their faces were gloomy, and some had to rely on others to walk.

Helping them, the unaware citizens saw their expressions and thought they were attending the Grand Duke's funeral.

But it’s not their fault. They were almost wiped out when they crossed the river yesterday. Who knows what will happen at today’s ceremony? After all, they didn’t even attend the Grand Duke’s succession to the throne. This couldn’t have been made up for them.

As for things like canonization, to be honest, some of them have written suicide notes. Regarding the issue of property distribution, once they die, they will immediately have their guards sent to the territory on the other side of the river, so that at least their heirs will not mess up.

After walking through the three-story city wall and entering the palace hall, I saw nearly two thousand chairs placed inside, which turned out to be modeled after the Senate in the empire.

Under the arrangements of the receptionist, everyone took their seats one after another. In front of each chair were their respective names, including their respective titles.

Alison is a vassal of Ratched, and the two of them were arranged to sit together. The one belonging to the count only has two chairs. Compared with other counties, the momentum is much weaker. After all, apart from the fact that they do not have a count, the viscount

Together with the Baron, there are at least ten chairs.

"I didn't think about it carefully before, but now it seems that there are no more than thirty earls in total, ten duchies, and these are the only earls left."

"Yes, no wonder no one went to support Duke Camon. It seems that the battle in the south is not easy."

"Families that lasted for hundreds of years were just lost."

The nobles of the royal capital sitting alone on one side were not under any pressure and pointed at those nobles, but a few like Ratched and Duwek were sitting next to them, and several counts among them were listening to them.

After saying this, I was so moved that I burst into tears.

"Everyone below, be quiet, be quiet, what is going on? The general consul will be here soon." Duke Smirsin walked to the stage and looked at the crying earl and said, "If you have any grievances, you can talk about it later."

, but please don’t cry yet.”

"I have no grievances. I am just grateful to the Grand Duke for his town construction order. Without this order, I, the Earl, might have been killed by those rebellious officials and traitors in a few days." The Earl stood up and cried.

"They are all big families that have been around for hundreds of years."

Just as the count was crying bitterly, Grand Duke Adili walked in. In an instant, the receptionist waved quickly, and everyone stood up quickly. Some of them went directly to the aisle to kneel down.

"Everyone sit down, everyone, sit down. I am the ruler, not the king. From now on, everyone will be an official. There is only a hierarchy between each other, and there is no distinction between subjects. If this spreads to other cities, others will think that I want to be the official."

Where is the king?"

The Grand Duke waved down kindly. Seeing that he was not polite, all the nobles sat back on their chairs. Then they saw him saying to the Earl who was standing crying, "I have heard about you. It's true.

It’s a pity and a pity that we were all vassals and lords before, but in the end we ended up like this.”

"The Grand Duke wants to make the decision for me! Kill those rebels!" The earl cried immediately after hearing this, causing a dozen barons on the other side to change their colors. These guys are all sons of destiny with assistants.

, there is no mention in the prophecy that they will die in the royal capital.

"Don't be excited, Count Kendi. I'm calling everyone here this time to reward you, not to kill anyone." The Grand Duke waved his hands slightly after hearing this, "As for your losses and subsequent personal safety, I will host a new conference later to ensure that you are satisfied.

, I can even guarantee now that your title will be promoted to one level and you will become a Marquis."

"Marquis is not a good word. Both the viscount and the viscount joined later, and most of them are officials." Ratched frowned slightly when he heard the above words. He turned to look at Duwek beside him and whispered, "That

Will Kendi have already surrendered to the Grand Duke?"

"I can't say for sure." Duvik glanced over and said with a frown, "I heard that when the escorts of the city merchants rescued the besieged earl, the knights guarding the castle were hungry and rebelled. If it weren't for the merchants' temporary city council,

If Ransom grows, Kendi will have his skull cracked."

"It will definitely not be a good thing to host the conference in the future. Except for this guy, we people actually control the earldom." Earl Ratched sighed, but there was no good way.

So the two people who sighed together looked at Alison.

Alison turned her head, looked at the two of them, smiled, and then continued to watch the Grand Duke's performance on the stage.

"There are many barons coming now, and they will be awarded the title of viscount in the future. Viscount is a city noble. This does not mean that your previous territory will be taken away, but that in the future, your business will not pay taxes in the emerging cities.

!”

The Grand Duke looked at the nobles below and dropped a bombshell news.

A group of several hundred barons showed no reaction, but the nobles in the royal capital blew up the camp.

"What? Viscount!" A royal noble stood up and glared at the Grand Duke, "Are you kidding? You actually gave them the title of Viscount!"

"So many viscounts! Isn't this a mess? We won't agree!"

An old nobleman from the royal capital also shouted with his head down and his feet down. The whole hall was shaken by the loud voice, which made a group of barons confused. Who is this old man? Didn't he offend him?

They didn't react much. After all, a group of barons were worried that they would be killed in the royal capital. The matter of raising a title was just a title. In the past three months, they had killed countless people with high titles in the territory.

It's just that those people objected as if they wanted to kill their whole family, which made them curious.

"My family has been loyal to the royal family for generations, and I am only a baron. Although now I have changed to a grand duke, you can't favor one over the other!"

"Luckily for you, we are Lords, just call us Lords, and we are not tax-free!"

"I don't agree!"

".No agreement!"

The nobles of the royal capital over there rushed to the stage and refused to agree, speaking to dissuade them one by one. However, the confused baron was surrounded by understanding people. A few people who had gone to school in the empire when they were young began to explain to them.

Once a town is built, it will inevitably attract serfs to become freedmen. With the loss of serfs, the land will produce less grain, and the less it produces, the less the income will be. And how much grain can a barony land produce in a year, and how many horses can be returned?

But it's different in towns. A horse dealer needs to make at least two horses if he sells ten horses. He can sell hundreds of horses a year. One horse dealer can support several of your baronies, so business is the big one.

And the commercial tax and toll tax are also the big ones here. With the title of Viscount, you have no tax in nearby cities. The horse dealer earns two horses from ten horses, and you earn four from ten horses. The tax saved in one year is more than

You farm a lot!

What? No money to do business? Have you been kicked in the head by Tom's donkey next door? You let the city's businessmen put their names in your name, and they are the Viscount servants who are directly exempted from tax. They will give you 98% of the tax exemption, or even

You posted half of it!

Think about how many merchants there are in a town, and how much is the annual tax? You have never been to a city, and all the food in the territory belongs to you. How much is the annual tax in a city?

Now you know why the nobles of the royal capital didn't agree, they were jealous!

As the baron with a high level of education explained, all the barons understood that if they cooperated with them, this would bring huge benefits. No wonder they were red-eyed.

When a group of barons understood what the other side wanted to reject them, their murderous intent immediately arose. However, surrounded by Consulate guards, they suppressed their anger and did not take action. As a result, the nobles of the royal capital over there quit!

"If you want to give this order, you want me to die!" The old nobleman saw that after taking turns to speak, the Grand Duke still shook his head. He didn't know what he was doing on the spot and just hung himself on the beam, "I'll hang myself here!"

"Old Baron!" A young nobleman saw the old baron about to hang himself, and his eyes suddenly turned red. He turned to look at the Grand Duke on the stage who was about to dissuade him, "If you don't revoke this order, I will fight with you!"

With that said, he rushed towards the stage, "Adili, get off here!"

A group of country barons had never seen this before. Seeing that the Grand Duke was about to be assassinated for his own benefit, they all stood up to help.

Fortunately, the Grand Duke's guards were brave. As soon as the man touched the stage, he was kicked down by six or seven guards and immediately pulled out of the door.

"Grand Duke, the nobles of the royal capital are aggrieved. This is not a problem. Why don't you consider slowing down this proposal." Smilxin persuaded.

"No!" Hearing this, the Grand Duke waved his big hand and straightened his face, "This is my first decree after becoming the Grand Duke. If anyone dares to disobey it, I will blow up his manor with an airship!"

When the Grand Duke was angry, the place suddenly became quiet. Seeing the ferocious face like a tiger, the nobles in the capital stopped hanging themselves.

"I'm just asking you, do you agree? If you don't agree, you'll all be taken out and executed! I'm just asking you." The Grand Duke looked at the nobles of the capital with angry eyes, "Do you agree?"

This scene, not to mention the nobles of the royal capital, even the baron below felt palpitations, but what was more touching was the kind of emotion that made one's breathing quicken and the tear glands secrete tears involuntarily.

Everyone held their breath and looked at the royal capital nobles who had just shouted over there. Sure enough, they were suppressed. The old nobleman who was rescued sighed and said, "I agree."

"Okay!" The Grand Duke immediately beamed with joy when he heard this. He looked down at the barons who had begun to worship him and said, "Then I declare."

"But there are too many people, and only one of them can be conferred the title of Viscount." The old noble interrupted the Grand Duke again.

"Who!" the Grand Duke shouted angrily, and everyone knew he was asking who dared to interrupt.

But the old noble seemed to be confused and thought that the Grand Duke was asking him who to consecrate.

"When it comes to being a Viscount, I think there is only one person who is suitable, and no one else is worthy." The old noble said slowly, "This person is the Ten-Non-Slayer, who single-handedly pacified the entire earl territory and its surrounding areas, and helped the earl unify the territory.

, Baron Alison who kills barons like dogs!”

"Ten male slayers? Who is this person?" The brave baron said in dissatisfaction, "Why haven't I met him?"

"Yeah, who is this? Why is she qualified, and I am still the Earl?" A baron started to fight, "Who is Alison, stand up!"

At this moment, a ray of light suddenly shone on Alison from the sky above the hall, and rose petals fell. In an instant, more than a thousand pairs of eyes in the hall looked at her.

"What does this have to do with me?" Alison raised her head and looked at the angry barons and said.
