Chapter 523: royal shock
The Duke of Berkeley has become more and more embarrassed these days. Most of the guards around him died in battle under the siege of the Mutual Aid Association. The few dozen people left were also panic-stricken.
Before leaving, the Duke of Berkeley also brought a large amount of belongings from his residence. But now I don't know where to throw it.
The territory where the Berkeley family is located received a request for help early in the morning, but the players blocked the main gateway of the Principality of Berkeley first.
The small reinforcements they sent were all immediately wiped out by the Mutual Aid Society. This move completely angered the eldest son stationed in the Principality.
Berkeley's eldest son has silver eighth-level strength, and he claims to be a strong one. Regardless of the obstruction of his subordinates, he led 80% of the elite, totaling more than 30,000 infantry, into the neighboring lord's territory.
The lord next door is just a viscount, and his territory exists as a buffer zone between the two nobles. When he learned that the 30,000 troops had crossed the border, he hurriedly reported the matter to the nobles and royal family on the other side.
The royal family also began to pay attention to this matter.
This transfer of personnel is not at the same level as the earlier transfer of personnel to block Victor County.
Most of the latter use adventurers, and even if there is a garrison, they are all mobs similar to militias.
But the former is the elite of the nobles, and their combat power is not at the same level, and the possible consequences are even more immeasurable.
If Berkeley takes the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on nearby nobles, it is likely to cause riots in the kingdom.
At this time, in the view of the royal family, the players who surrounded the Duke of Berkeley were only a few hundred people. Although these people can be resurrected, the upper limit is there.
The troops of the great nobles on the other side were mobilized urgently, and all of them were stationed in the fortress in the direction of the Berkeley army.
The royal family reacted quickly, sending the royal guard and messengers to contact Berkeley's eldest son. But before the Imperial Guards and messengers arrived, they received the military report that Berkeley's elite was defeated.
In the eyes of the players, the aboriginal army is a walking golden bag, and one or two experience packs can be burst out from time to time.
[Pickup Soldier] As soon as he waved his hand, tens of thousands of members of the Mutual Aid Society were teleported to the war zone. According to the intelligence of the various spies, there are no more than a thousand members of the Prell family gathered here.
Therefore, all forces did not take them into their field of vision, and tens of thousands of people suddenly appeared at this moment. The royal family couldn't sit still anymore.
It seems that members of the Prell family not only mastered the secret method of bringing the dead back to life, but also possessed the secret method of teleporting a large number of members over long distances.
If one day they want to rebel, they will directly drop three million Spartans to the capital. Even if King Hollywater's Imperial Guard is ten times larger than it is now, it will not be able to resist it.
After the members of the Mutual Aid Society wiped out the Berkeley elite, they rushed into the Principality of Berkeley in one go and took down the remaining defenders in one fell swoop.
The Duke of Berkeley, who was still on the run, had no intention of continuing to flee after receiving the news.
Tired, stop running.
His home was gone, and he was hunted down wherever he went.
Simply, when Berkeley was discovered by the Mutual Aid Association again, he directly surrendered.
In the end, he reached a consensus in the friendly negotiation with [Pickup Soldier], and handed over 80% of the taxes in the territory every year. At the same time, the Chamber of Commerce of [Pickup Soldiers] can enter and leave the Principality of Berkeley at will without any control.
And the Grand Duke of Berkeley provided the residence of each town, and established the Gold Chamber of Commerce established by [Pickup Soldier] as the first chamber of commerce in the Principality of Berkeley. All chambers of commerce that want to do business in the Principality of Berkeley must accept the management of the Gold Chamber of Commerce.
[Pickup Soldiers] In the Principality of Berkeley, the trend of consortium ruling has initially been established.
The royal family didn't dare to act rashly because they couldn't figure out the player's teleportation mechanism. It can be regarded as acquiescing to [Pickup Soldier]'s rampant behavior in the Principality of Berkeley.
The nearby nobles all mobilized their troops to the side facing the Principality of Berkeley. After learning of the changes in the Principality of Berkeley, they dared not withdraw their troops easily.
The review of inbound players can be said to be both loose and strict.
Loose is absolutely not restricting players from entering for any reason; strict is that as long as low-level players pass through important levels, they will be secretly given insight. Players above the silver level will also be followed by secretly appointed spies.
Only gold-level players can be immune to the Eye of Insight, and the royal family does not have the manpower and material resources to appoint a large number of strong men to follow them, so they can only continue to let them go.
The Eye of Insight is a common secret method in the continent, but only the Kingdom's Mystic Academy can learn it, and the kingdom's elite mystics are all proficient in this ability. The subject will always be detected by the caster for location information. If the subject uses psychic power or ki, the caster also receives feedback.
The spellcasters are all appointed by the royal family and the major nobles. They are all first-class masters in the kingdom. These are shadow detectives who specialize in detection and tracking.
Even just bronze can track silver without being detected.
If it weren't for the limited number of people, the royal family would have liked to have shadow detectives in all levels.
Players are not aware of the secret arts in this kind of Kingdom Academy, so they failed to discover the strangeness at the first time.
Du Wei can see the status of the players from the backstage. Although he has never been to the Kingdom Academy, he has heard of such secrets.
Now it seems that the player has been targeted by the Houliwater royal family, and it is estimated that a fierce conflict will break out between the two sides in a short time.
He decided to stand still for the time being, and first strengthen the defense of his territory. Then observe and respond according to the reaction of the royal family.
If you want to say who suffered the most from the royal family's change of attitude towards players, then you have to mention [Wind of Winter].
He who was originally promoted by the Rockets received a transfer order again. It's just that this transfer order looks bright, but it is actually dark. He was transferred from a powerful officer to a gold-ranked general as an adjutant.
The purpose is for this general to closely monitor his every move~www.mtlnovel.com~Wind of Winter] bid farewell to his soldiers and came to General Hydley's garrison.
Hydri's current strength is at the eighth level of gold, and he has touched the threshold of the epic level. But because he wanted to be promoted urgently, he used a certain prop by mistake, and his strength plummeted instead. In this life, I can only stop at the eighth level of gold.
Although Hai Deli is a general, he majors in secret arts, and his aura is only at the bronze level. This is commonplace in the player community, but for the aborigines, they are considered talented all-rounders.
He sat in front of the table in a long robe, listening to the report of [Wind of Winter].
He stood upright in front of Hyde, and reported his work like a battalion veteran.
During this period of tempering, he lost a lot of arrogance, and became more stable and down-to-earth.
This kind of live broadcast atmosphere won him back a little popularity. But because of the strict discipline in the army, he rarely interacted with the audience if he wanted to climb up, and was cut off a lot of exposure by the housing management. So the live broadcast room has always been maintained in a position of no top and no bottom.
