Chapter 70 Tough

Leslie's separation from the Stark family is actually not a serious matter for Xu Yi.

As early as when he came into contact with Leslie a few years ago, he knew that Leslie’s ideas were somewhat out of place with the overall concept of the Stark family, and Leslie has always opposed the family’s approach.

Previously, Leslie claimed to go back and fight for the family inheritance rights. What he hoped was that after becoming the patriarch, he could gradually reverse the concept of the Stark family and change the entire family according to his ideas.

Although he has failed now, from a personal point of view, it is not a kind of relief.

After all, he is the biological son of Duke Stark. No matter how weak Duke Stark's affection for this biological son is, it is impossible for him to really do anything to him because of inheriting family blood.

Leslie claimed to order at least ten medium-sized armed magic ships from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the funds required were extremely huge. Without the acquiescence of Stark, Leslie would never have taken such a large amount of money away from the family.

Perhaps as Xu Yi guessed, the expulsion of Leslie from the family can be regarded as leaving a retreat for the Stark family.

Therefore, Xu Yi didn't care much about Leslie's expulsion from the family. Whether Leslie was going to be a pirate at sea or going to do a maritime businessman, Xu Yi would support him in the position of a friend.

Apart from this, this did not have much impact on Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

However, this incident had a profound impact on the entire Stark family and even the entire Kingdom of Lampari.

The nobles of the Lampari Kingdom learned from rumors that the reason why Duke Stark even drove his own son out of the house was because Leslie opposed his political ideas and opposed his approach to the nobles in the kingdom.

If Duke Stark doesn't even give any kindness to his own son, he will naturally be even more cruel to others.

This is exactly the case.

After the news of Leslie being expelled from the family, Duke Stark accelerated his movements again.

In just one month, a large number of nobles in the Kingdom of Lampari were questioned, and the levels involved were wider and higher.

Not only were there four Earls, the city lords, who were deprived of their titles and the city lords, but even one of the ministers of King Lampari, the king of Lampari, was well-known in the kingdom of Lampari. Duke Festalin, known as the "Eagle of Lampari", was also jailed for treason.

Even a duke who can be regarded as a noble among all the nobles cannot escape, which shows how determined and ambition the stubborn conservative nobles of the Lampari Kingdom represented by Duke Stark this time were.

However, this time it inevitably caused a strong rebound in the country of Lampari.

In addition to criticizing the recent happenings in the Kingdom of Lampari in many newspapers, claiming that this was shaking the stability of the kingdom, many of the aristocrats held accountable even took direct action to resist.

When the gendarmerie of the Kingdom Council entered the manor of an Earl's City Lord and tried to capture him, he was subjected to fierce resistance from the Earl's City Lord's private guard.

The two sides exchanged fire directly, and the gendarmerie paid the price of hundreds of casualties to successfully arrest the Earl City Lord.

The war between the noble private guard and the Kingdom Parliament's military police was undoubtedly an extremely serious matter. In the Kingdom law, it can even be defined as treason.

However, under this situation, this is nothing.

This incident was like a fuse, instantly igniting the tense situation in the Kingdom of Lampari in an instant.

Next, when the rest of the nobles were captured, the gendarmerie sent by the Kingdom Parliament encountered increasingly fierce resistance, and the casualties became more and more serious.

Later, after discovering that the gendarmerie was unable to complete the arrest mission, the Kingdom Parliament even directly mobilized the Kingdom Garrison Army to dispatch.

However, this move caused a stronger rebound.

According to the rules set at the beginning of the founding of the Kingdom of Lampari, the Kingdom Garrison was only used to protect the security of the Kingdom and must not be used to deal with the nobles in the country. Now, Duke Stark broke this taboo with the power in his hands, which naturally aroused the anger of almost all the nobles in the Kingdom of Lampari.

It would be fine if those little nobles who had little strength, but the great nobles who truly had strength and had different positions from Duke Stark knew that they would be targeted by Duke Stark sooner or later, so they responded in advance.

For a moment, an extremely tense atmosphere was everywhere in the Kingdom of Lampari, and many newspapers even expressed their concern that judging from the current situation, I was afraid that if I were not careful, the war in the Kingdom would be about to break out.

"Bang--"

Eric slapped the table heavily, stood up, glaring at Duke Stark in front of him. He finally resisted the scolding that had reached his throat, and with a gloomy face, he growled: "Duke Starr, I trust you. I think you can handle these things well, so that you can give you all the things to do, and don't care about it. But look at what the kingdom has become now? What do you want to do? Do you really want to provoke a civil war?"

This was the first time Eric yelled in front of Duke Stark in front of him. Duke Stark looked at him with a little surprise and smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Everything is in my control. These people are just making powerless moans now, and they can't affect anything."

"Isn't this affecting anything?" Eric slapped a document on the table in front of him and said angrily: "Collebo City has even declared independence! Do you think it's okay?"

Duke Stark glanced at the document, frowned slightly, and then smiled and said, "Your Majesty, since Earl Arnoldbie has done this, we certainly cannot let him go. Please rest assured that I have sent the Second Army of the Guards to the City of Kolebo. With the strong strength of the Second Army, I believe that in less than half a month, you can see the City of Kolebo return to the embrace of the Kingdom."

"You have sent the Second Army out?" Eric asked coldly in Duke Stark's eyes.

"Yes, your Majesty."

Erick paused and waited deliberately for a while, but found that Duke Stark had no intention of continuing to explain, and couldn't help but feel furious.

The garrison of the Kingdom of Lampari has been regarded as the private army of the Kingdom of Lampari since its founding, and can be said to be the final trump card of the royal family.

However, after Eric ascended the throne, the Kingdom Garrison gradually fell into the control of Duke Starr.

Although the most elite First Army of the Kingdom Garrison Army was still loyal and obeyed the orders of His Majesty the King alone, the Second Army was now completely obeying the command of Duke Starr, and even Eric's orders could not be conveyed to the Second Army.

When Lampari XIII was still alive, he sent the Third Army of the Kingdom Garrison to the City of Thurwell, in name only to strengthen the guardian forces on the northern border and prevent the invasion of the Sach Kingdom.

But in Eric's view at that time, because the lord of Thurwell City was Earl of Samoy, and the lord of Samoy supported Sewini, Lampari XIII ordered the Third Army of the Kingdom's Garrison Army to accept the command of the lord of Thury. It was undoubtedly Lampari XIII who clearly stated that he would support Sewini as the throne.

It is precisely because of this reason that Eric made a decision to take the risk under the instigation of Duke Stark, poisoned Lampary XIII, and finally ascended the throne with the help of Duke Stark.

At that time, Eric felt that his actions were very correct, but when he looked back, he found that it was a wonderful trick to send the Third Army of the Kingdom Garrison Army out by Lampary XIII.

If the Third Army is not left in Anweimar, I am afraid that it has already fallen into the hands of the Duke of Starr now.

If this really happens, Eric will have no confidence in front of Duke Stark.

Thinking of this, Eric's face slightly calmed down and he said seriously: "Immediately order them to stop. Without my order, there is no action to attack Kolebo City."

Duke Stark was stunned: "Your Majesty, are you going to let Count Arnoldy be allowed to watch the city of Colebo really become independent?"

"Of course it's impossible." Eric shook his head. "But the solution to this problem does not necessarily have to be so rude. There is certainly a reason why Count Arnoldy chose to do this..."

Speaking of this, Eric glanced at Duke Stark with a meaningful look.

"We only need to resolve the concerns of Count Arnoldby and believe that we can resolve this matter peacefully without directly using force to put the kingdom into a shameful civil war."

Seeing Eric's serious look, Duke Stark frowned: "Your Majesty, are you going to forgive a ruthless guy who intends to split the kingdom?"

Eric glanced at him lightly: "I have not convicted Earl Arnoldy."

"But……"

"No, but." Eric interrupted Duke Stark without hesitation.

Duke Stark raised his eyebrows, glanced at Eric, and then lowered his head slightly.

"Yes, your majesty, I will go and convey your order to the Second Army of the Garrison."

After waiting quietly for a while, seeing that Eric had no more orders, Duke Stark said goodbye and left.

Seeing the door closed, Eric felt his whole body soft and suddenly collapsed on the chair.

He pinched his hands subconsciously, but he found that his hands seemed to have no strength, his whole body was soft and weak, and he was sweating all over his body, and his palms were covered in sweat.

This was the first time he had acted so strongly in front of Duke Stark.

Although I was very nervous, I even felt like I was exhausted after a big battle, but I felt extremely refreshed.

Lying on the chair and staring at the ceiling for a long time, Eric finally let out a long breath.

He has been on the throne for more than a year, but only today does he feel like a king. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, novels are better, updated and faster!
