Chapter 43: Territory Trusteeship(1/2)

Two days later, the news of the victory of the Moonlight King Court reached the Sun Oasis, and the Western noble coalition forces fighting outside the Sun Oasis City suddenly lost their morale. A large number of deserters appeared, and the coalition forces' military strength almost shrank by half overnight.

The Riyao led the army, who had been preparing for the general attack for two days, rushed out with full spirit and high spirits.

The noble army in the Western Front was about to collapse.

Seventeen aristocrats who were on the blacklist died in the chaos under the instruction of the Earl of Urd.

The victory of the Riyao Army immediately launched an attack on the seventeen noble leaders, and the First Auxiliary of the Moon Star, who was in charge of the Riyao City, released the "Letter to the West End".

All the nobles in the Western Frontier continued to garrison their territory to prevent the wandering rebels from infiltrating and destroying the destruction. The battle to recover the seventeen territories was given to the Earl of Uld. Anyone who intends to get involved in these seventeen territories will be dealt with as rebels!

At the same time, the Moonlight Court held a Victory Parade, and all the barbarian warriors who defended the World Tree War participated. The parade was divided into multiple routes toward the entire western border. During the parade, the barbarian warriors returned to their respective tribes nearby. After the parade, the barbarian army summoned by the Moonlight Queen was disbanded.

In the Crescent Oasis, the delegation of the Chief Supervisor who had been staying here in the West received an order from the meteorite. All the crew had already prepared the camels to enter the desert and rushed to Sun Yat-sen City at full speed.

The army of the Moonlight King Court was on the side, and the Riyao led the army to advance rapidly. While other Western nobles were still hesitating to grab these seventeen territories, the Riyao led the army had occupied all of these territories.

The delegation of the Chief Auxiliary inspector arrived at Sun Yat-sen City. With his staff and his own administrative team, Luke established the temporary administrative office of the Chief Auxiliary of the Empire and personally thoroughly investigated the rebellion of some Western aristocrats.

All the nobles in the Western Region gathered in the center of the Sun Yat Manor in Riya City under the command of the Imperial Principal.

On the red carpet in the castle hall, there is an extra-long conference table.

Luke sat in the first place as the chief minister of the empire, and other Western nobles sat on both sides of the conference table according to their respective titles and status.

Around the hall stood the Armored Royal Knights.

When the castle gate closed, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more depressing and tense.

Some nobles were sweating all over their bodies under pressure. Although some of them did not directly participate in the rebellion, they knew some of the inside story, and some even participated.

Seeing the Moon Star Chief Minister sitting in the first place without saying a word, the nobles in the Western Region were even more nervous.

"I am very disappointed with you!" After waiting for a long time, Meteor Star spoke: "I actually learned the news that someone is forming a rebel in the Western Region. I definitely believe that some of you know earlier than me, but you all chose to hide it and let the rebels do a great job of endangering the security of the empire!"

The chief minister was angry, and the nobles bowed their heads one by one, fearing that they would be targeted.

After Luke finished singing, Earl of Uld immediately calmed down the atmosphere.

"Sir, Master! They did not participate in the rebellion in the end, which shows that they were still loyal to the empire."

"Yes, Earl Uld is right! Your last choice is to keep your head on your neck. I hope you will recognize the path you will take in the future and don't always think about restoring the order of the Western Frontier. The era when the Western Frontier belongs to the Western Frontier is over!"

Luke's words were very hearts of the nobles in the Tashi realm. Some people wanted to refute it, but seeing that everyone else was a turtle, they immediately buried their heads again.

Earl Urd said in due time: "The future is an era when the nobles and the empires join hands to create a prosperous Western border."

"Well said!"

Luke applauded, but no one else responded, and there was only one applause in the hall.

Luke looked along the conference table, and the Western nobles who were targeted immediately applauded. A sparse and weak applause rang out, and there was no embarrassing cold.

Luke turned to say, "It's just like this about the rebels. The main participants have paid the price. I don't want to make too much trouble in the Western Frontier when I first served as the chief minister of the empire.

Let's discuss together how to deal with the seventeen oasis and the property left by the expelled family."

When they heard that they were about to divide the land, all the nobles in the West who were just like ostrich raised their heads.

A nobleman stood up and saluted Luke: "Dear Chief of the Meteor, I am Baron Morgan, and I am the nephew of Viscount Colmerk. After Colmerk was deprived of the title, I am now the first heir to the property of the Colmerk family.

I hope to gain full ownership of all life and items on the Bay River Oasis and on the Bay River Oasis.”

Some people took the lead, and other Western nobles stood up to express their legal inheritance rights for a certain piece of land.

The castle hall suddenly became a vegetable market. In order to seize land and wealth, the nobles in the West completely ignored the demeanor and reserve that the nobles should have, and even started to throw things to each other in a hurry.

The hall is getting more and more chaotic.

Prince MacDonald, who stood behind Luke, stepped forward and shouted: "Silent!"

All the Royal Knights knock on the breastplate together.

The hall suddenly became quiet.

Luke said slowly: "Every marriage and marriage have always been popular among the nobles in the West. Each of you has sufficient reasons to share a piece of land. But there is only this land. No matter how it is distributed, there will definitely be some people who are dissatisfied.

Earl of Urd, do you have any suggestions on how to allocate these seventeen oasis?"

Earl Uld knew it was time to be a villain.

For the title of "Governor of the West", Earl of Uld said: "Since it is not fair to divide it, I think it is better to hand over these seventeen oasis to the empire to govern. The nobles in the West jointly own the ownership of these seventeen oasis, and the empire has management and administrative power. We can divide the business dividends from the empire every year, without increasing the conflicts in the western border for land, which is a good thing for everyone."

After hearing the advice of Count Uld, all the nobles from the West were stunned.

Are you crazy? So much land is given to the empire, I have seen a prodigal family, but I have never seen a prodigal family. Besides, if the empire enters the Western Region, will there be good life for the nobles in the Western Region in the future?

During the Kung Fu of the nobles in the Western Region, Luke immediately said: "Earl Uld's suggestion is very good, and it easily resolves this problem that makes me headache.

The land is jointly owned by your Western nobles. The empire will accurately calculate the shares you should hold and then pay you dividends every year. In this way, you don’t need to worry about giving up an extra piece of land, nor do you have to hurt your feelings for fighting for land.

What a win-win suggestion for everyone!”

Win-win fart!

All the nobles from the West cursed in their hearts: You are the only one who wins!

The empire cannot be allowed to annex these lands. The nobles communicated with each other with their eyes to see how they could pick this piece of meat out of the mouth of the meteorite.

But they never expected that something even more exciting was still to come.

Faced with the praise from the Imperial Chief, Earl Uld said: "If the Imperial does not mind another burden, I want to entrust the Imperial to manage my Sun Oasis on its behalf..."

All the nobles from the West looked at Count Urd in shock.

Is he really crazy?

I was already a spendthrift just now, but I didn’t expect that this time I was even more cruel and didn’t even want my family!

Luke cooperated and asked: "What is it that makes you suddenly have this idea in Earl."

Earl of Urd said sighingly: "Since inheriting this oasis, I have hardly ever had a comfortable life. I have to be wary of others embezzling my land and property all day long, and expand the army and fear that the army will be uncontrollably rebelled.

I think it is an opportunity now. If the empire takes over my army and land management, I just need to collect money and enjoy life in Nutao City and no longer live a worried life."

Luke praised: "Earl Uld, you are a man with great wisdom, and you can see the future clearly. Because of the existence of the Moonlight Court and the World Tree, the Empire has designated the Western Frontier as the most important strategic area.

When the Western Frontier Railway is opened, the Empire will continue to increase its investment in the Western Frontier. Of course, these investments are to be given to the Empire where it can be directly managed.

Earl of Urd, you can rest assured that under the management of the empire, the Sun Oasis will always belong to the Urd family, and the wealth here is enough for the Urd family to live a comfortable and prosperous life for generations."

"This is my hope." After the opening, Earl Uld seemed to have lost his shackles and began to yearn for his future life: "I was too tired before, afraid that the tragedy I had witnessed would come again. The ending of the seventeen Western nobles woke me up, and it would be better to leave the Western Region with my money and family."

Luke said: "The Empire will remember your contribution to the Western Frontier! After the meeting, I will immediately arrange personnel to take over the army led by Riyao, and the Empire will also formulate a plan to take over the administrative power of Riyao as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Master Zhonggu!"

The Meteor and Earl of Uld were truly stunned when the nobles in the Western Front were truly stunned.

This is not a discussion on how to divide the seventeen territories. This is to put all of us Western aristocrats on the chopping board to kill us!

Too cruel!

The appetite is too big!

Luke looked at the nobles in the West and said, "Earl Uld proposed a governance plan that can bring the West into long-term stability and win-win situation, and personally set an example.

You are also considering your own and your family’s way out, making decisions early and benefiting early. Stubborn resistance will not end well!”

The nobles in the Western Region looked at each other, and they were like eggplants beaten by frost, so wilted that they were not as powerful as they had just fought for the land.

The meteorite has revealed the wolf's ambition, "Those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish"!

If the nobles from the West could have fought together to fight to the death.

But now...

Who dares to be this pioneer?

After a brief silence, a nobleman proposed that he wanted to go back to his territory and discuss with his family members.

"Yes..." Luke did not press too much. Only by relaxing and having the least effort to do things: "A such a big thing is definitely not something that can be made in a short time.

I'll wait here, waiting for you for half a month.

The nobles who came here to sign a territory custody agreement with me can receive 10% more dividends. If you don’t see anyone in half a month, consider your own weight and consider the future of the family more.

The meeting ends!"

Luke announced the end of the meeting. Some people stood up and wanted to leave, but they saw that some people were not moving, so they sat back.

In half a month, for the nobles who were far away, they could barely walk back and forth. If the road was delayed in bad weather or other reasons, they would miss the fifteen-day deadline. If they signed all other territories but did not sign them, even if there was no imperial attack, they would be trapped to death.

Moreover, the first signing of the territory custody agreement will be a 10% bonus. If someone signs the agreement first, the one who signs it later will suffer a big loss.

So although Luke announced the end of the meeting, no noble dared to leave.

Seeing this scene now, Luke already understood the nobles' thoughts.

"Aren't you going back to discuss with the family members? Why don't you leave?" Luke looked at the silent hall and said with a smile: "Actually, you all know in your heart that you can't stop me now, and I'm determined to eat the Western Region, no matter what the price you pay.

The best thing about the Earl of Uld's plan is to reduce bloodshed, and the Empire takes money to make concessions. If you give in, the agreement you signed with the Empire will be valid. If you don't give in, the final result will not be changed."

Luke snapped his fingers, and the servants placed the agreements that had been prepared long ago in front of the nobles one by one.
