Chapter 319 The First Subordinate Kingdom
"It's a good world, bigger and stronger, but it takes a lot of time to develop." Shen Fei finally came to this conclusion.
Then he didn't pay too much attention to it.
To be honest, under the current situation, Kuang Tianzhi is enough to handle everything. He only needs to have a certain understanding of the progress regularly. Even if there is any trouble, he doesn't need to do it himself. Basically, other people in the territory can handle everything.
This is also the advantage of the trend force route.
As long as the scale is sufficient, multiple lines can be parallel, and each field has its own personnel in charge.
However, Shen Fei is not completely idle. Just two days later, he received news that the Kingdom of Rui sent an envoy.
"They are quite straightforward." Shen Fei looked at Li Tingyu standing in front of him and shook his head, "They surrendered directly, which is not easy to do."
"If we really want to do it, there is a reason." Li Tingyu said, "Sheng Xin has done basic investigations. Among those high-level lords, few are innocent. If we strictly clean them up according to our standards, they may reach the standard of national destruction."
"But the king is quite honest, right?" Shen Fei said, "This is a classic 'Zuo Bai', and he has such an advantage at the beginning. He has not done anything harmful to the world along the way. Instead, he has full empathy for the lower-level lords. If it is simply for the reason of 'trial', it will be difficult to kill this king."
If he is killed, the reason will not stand.
To some extent, this is also a defect of the power line.
Even if Shen Fei has lowered his "image bottom line" as much as possible, he will still inevitably be subject to a little restraint.
Apart from other things, the "trial of the lords who slaughtered" is related to the perception of the kingdom by the lower lords, and is also directly related to the benefits he gets from the lower lords. If all the lords think that he is a king who can disregard the rules he set for his own interests, it will reduce the support of the lower lords for the "collective interests".
Therefore, this king really can't be killed, at least not casually.
"Forget it." Shen Fei finally said, "Buildings and heroes can be requisitioned. As for pets, the loyalty of pets that have established contracts is not guaranteed. So, this kind of benefit is not enough for me to violate the rules I set."
"I understand." Li Tingyu responded.
She did understand that the Kingdom of Rui should be retained, and the intensity of the "trial" will be relaxed, but she can still use this process to establish absolute authority.
To put it bluntly, the "trial" itself is not a means based on justice, but a process of implanting fear and authority.
After the news spread, those lords who knew what they had done would inevitably struggle and resist.
If the kingdom is suppressed with absolute strength and in the name of "justice", basically, it will no longer have any power to resist, and will completely become Shen Fei's possession.
"Politics is inherently cruel and dirty." Shen Fei looked at Li Tingyu's back, knowing that there would be a storm of blood and gore behind this order, but he just sighed slightly and quickly wiped out the discomfort that was not much to begin with.
For a period of time afterwards, just as Shen Fei thought, when the request of the Dark Night Kingdom was passed back, the entire Rui Kingdom was in a huge shock.
Countless lords were terrified.
"Why do they judge us!"
"That's right, they don't have the qualifications!"
"The killing of the lords is the instruction of the lord system!"
"I will never allow anyone to view my memory. This seriously damages my rights and interests and is an insult to me!"
"They never thought of letting us go. They are demons and will kill us all!"
"War, only war!"
"."
For a moment, all kinds of shouting sounds rang out in the channel, and countless lords were angry and afraid.
They put forward all kinds of reasons to try to pull all the lords of the entire kingdom to fight to the death with the Dark Night Kingdom.
The atmosphere of fear and war permeated in a short time.
Even Rocky was surprisingly angry.
"How can they do this? Who gave them the right? We will never agree to such a request!"
However, Lai Lei, who was standing next to Rocky, said in a deep voice: "No, Your Majesty, we can only agree."
"Does it matter whether you agree or not?" Rocky roared loudly, his face turned red, "They have decided to destroy us. This request is simply an insult to us!"
"Your Majesty, do you really think so?" Lai Lei looked at Rocky with a hint of disappointment in his tone, "Ordinary lords can be coerced and deceived by the voices in the channel, but you are the king, you should have your own judgment."
"What do you mean?" Rocky was stunned.
Lai Lei was his first legendary hero, and he had always helped him a lot. Unknowingly, Rocky began to rely on Lai Lei.
Maybe he would not easily believe the words of others, but he would instinctively trust Lai Lei's words.
In other words, this matter is not as he thought?
Rocky gradually calmed down.
"I have done an investigation." Lai Lei directly threw out a document, "The people who initially clamored for resistance in the channel were all people with bad reputations. In other words, they had slaughtered other lords before, and even now they have not restrained themselves. This is a must-kill in the requirements of the Dark Night Kingdom."
"." Rocky fell silent.
"And the number of such people is actually not that large." Lai Lei said again, "I have carefully read all the requirements of the Dark Night Kingdom. It is indeed very strict, so strict that our entire kingdom can only become their vassal after this, no, it is a vassal, a vassal who is condescending, but we will not be destroyed as advertised in the channel."
"Really not?" Rocky's voice became smaller.
He even breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
What he feared most was death, and the second most was the destruction of the country.
After all, he was just an ordinary person on Earth, but when he came here, he established his own country and became the person he had always dreamed of. He also had countless things he wanted to achieve, hoping to achieve them with the help of this world and this country.
His idol was even the legendary King Arthur.
At this moment, when he heard that the country would not be destroyed, he felt as if he had been pulled back from the edge of a cliff, and he felt like he wanted to breathe heavily.
"From the perspective of interests, it is not in the interests of the Dark Night Kingdom to destroy our country." Lele was very sure of this.
"Why?" Rocky was a little confused, "If the country is destroyed, they can accept a large number of lords."
"Do you really think that the Dark Night Kingdom will accept so many 'foreign lords'?" Lele said.
Rocky was stunned.
He still couldn't figure out why they wouldn't accept them.
After all, he had no knowledge of that oriental country on Earth in the past.
Lele sighed again in his heart.
He did a lot of research, and it can be said that the lords in the Dark Night Kingdom and the lords in their Rui Kingdom have some big differences in thinking, concepts, and cognition.
After knowing this, the blow he suffered was even greater than the fact that the Rui Kingdom had been surrounded by the Dark Night Kingdom.
Because, if you can't beat the Dark Night Kingdom, the worst that can happen is integration.
It may be more advantageous, and you can avoid meaningless wars and focus all your energy on your own development.
But in this situation, even integration has become extremely difficult.
"In short, Your Majesty, please take a good look at this report. I have explained it in it." Lai Lei said, "Also, the voices in the channel need to be controlled, but not too much, otherwise those crazy and desperate people will start a civil war first. They just need to be handed over to the Dark Night Kingdom. After all, if a kingdom wants to truly conquer another kingdom, blood and death will become the most efficient channel."
It must be said that the lord is powerful in all aspects.
Even if the lord himself is not smart and capable, with a powerful hero, he can still make the right choice when most weak lords cannot see the situation clearly.
As a legendary internal affairs hero, Lai Lei has seen the situation clearly and made the most correct choice in the interests of his own lord.
Fortunately, although Rocky may not be capable enough, he has enough trust in Lai Lei.
This trust saved him.
Basically, on the day when the "Resistance Legion" was officially established, a series of extremely powerful auras descended directly into the Kingdom of Rui.
That's right, it did not descend on their pitifully weak city in the Great Wilderness World, but directly descended on their kingdom in the Initial World.
A full five hundred level nine legendary lords.
This terrifying number and this terrifying strength immediately scared everyone in the entire Kingdom of Rui.
You know, their strongest individual is only level seven!
And this terrifying team is just the private lord of the world's number one lord!
"Is this the world's number one lord?" Rocky was completely stunned. "He even has two legendary lords, and that kind of equipment."
This is a real, visible, all-round crushing!
Even Rocky had to admit that his kingdom had no power to resist at all.
He seemed to have seen the wailing of the entire kingdom.
"Wilhan was also captured." Lele was quickly receiving first-hand news from the kingdom. "He actually controlled and imprisoned more than 30 lords, and killed six of them."
"Wilhan" Rocky was silent again.
He never thought that there would be so many problems in his kingdom.
Most of those high-level lords acted politely in front of him, but behind the scenes, they were like demons for their own interests.
Even the benefits that he deliberately gave to the lower-level lords were firmly controlled by these high-level lords by various means.
This is why Wilhan can get the support of most high-level lords.
Compared with him, a simple and naive king, Wilhan can bring them more benefits.
What's more terrifying is.
Rocky didn't even know if he would become the same as those lords if he didn't get the legendary people and didn't have the strength that surpassed most lords from the beginning, because many of them had similar backgrounds and even similar personalities to him.
"The world of lords is full of great temptations for you." Laile seemed to see what Rocky was thinking. The half-elf whispered beside him, "Except for those who set the rules, there are not many strong people who can make themselves abide by the rules in an unordered environment."
"I should have realized this earlier." Rocky said in a hoarse voice.
He already understood that he was also responsible for the scene in front of him.
Because as a king, as a person who set rules, he was too weak.
Even weak enough to naively set himself the image of "Knight King" that meant self-restraint from the beginning.
If it was the world's number one lord, people like Wilhan would not exist from the beginning.
Unfortunately, he understood it too late.
Everything before was like a self-deceiving dream. Now that he woke up from the dream, he felt that he seemed to have become the museum clerk on Earth in the past. He could only fantasize about everything and could not do anything.
"Lord, you should go to meet the envoy of the Dark Night Kingdom. The current situation may be a moment of shattered dreams for the Kingdom of Rui, but for you, it may not be another brand new beginning. You also need to readjust your cognition and mentality."
No matter how the legendary hero Lai Lei helped his lord, Shen Fei soon received relevant reports.
At this moment, it was still Li Tingyu who was standing in front of him and reporting.
"The entire Kingdom of Rui has been fully controlled by us. A total of 15,432 lords have been tried, and 1,321 of them will be sentenced to death. We will select lords to execute them. Their kings have also signed the annexation treaty on behalf of the kingdom. In addition, we have selected the successors of the remaining two kings' authority, a lord named Gray Ndiaye, who is one of the main sources of information for the Dark Night Secret Cabinet."
"A traitor." It is not surprising that Shen Fei would choose such a person.
Not to mention that this person has already secretly surrendered to the Dark Night Kingdom. His identity as a "traitor" alone determines that he, as a "minister", can only stand on the side of the Dark Night Kingdom, because he will no longer be trusted by those "restorationists".
So far, the entire Kingdom of Rui has become the first annexed kingdom of the Dark Night Kingdom.
