Chapter 928 The nobles who would rather die than retreat
Gennaji knew the most about what kind of people these nobles were.
He looked righteous and said the most stern words, but he was thinking of his own selfish desires.
Although they kept saying that they would defend Arriel to the end and defend the dignity of the Holy Sheran Empire, Gennaji understood that the reason why these nobles demanded to defend Arriel to the end was not for these reasons of such righteousness.
The reason they demanded to defend Arriel was all for their family's property.
These nobles lived in Arrier for generations, and their family industries had long been spread throughout Arrier.
If they were to evacuate, most of their industries would not be taken away, and they would become the spoils of the Britannian army.
In order to defend their family property, these nobles so toughly demanded that Gennadi defend Alert.
To be honest, Gennaji really wants to reward these borers who are still thinking about their family industry each punching each time.
But he can't do that.
Although these nobles did not do anything practical, their political power and status were extremely strong.
He is so powerful that even Gennaji, who is the lord of Arrier City, cannot disobey these nobles too much.
If Gennaji does not follow the wishes of these nobles, these nobles have many ways to make the rest of Gennaji's life less easy.
Therefore, even though the suggestions of these nobles who defended Arriel were extremely absurd, Gennaji could only bear it and bit the bullet and persuade these nobles to change their minds.
After patiently listening to the reprimands of the nobles led by Grand Duke Qixiuval, Gennaji calmed down his anger and impatient mood, and gritted the bullet and persuaded the nobles again so that the nobles could see the current situation.
However--Gennaji today failed again.
The nobles still couldn't listen to Gennaji's persuasion.
The aristocrats who were unable to get into the oil and salt made Gennaji begin to wonder whether the aristocrats were a species with a natural IQ that was lower than that of ordinary people.
Today's meeting ended again in a bad mood.
Gennaji walked slowly towards his residence with his hands on his back.
——How do I want to convince these borers who can’t do anything except drag us down…
Even on the way back to his residence, Gennaji was thinking about how to convince the nobles.
At this moment, an official with a panic-faced face quickly walked towards Gennaji.
Gennaji was very familiar with this official because Gennaji gave the official an important task, which was to coordinate the scouts to inquire about the latest information of the Britannian Army.
"His city lord."
After the official came to Gennaji's side, he pressed his lips to Gennaji's ears and whispered to Gennaji:
"The Britannian army is closer to us..."
"The vanguard of the Britannian army is only more than 30 miles away from Arriel..."
Hearing the number "30", Gennaji's pupils shrank suddenly, his steps staggered, and he almost fell to the ground.
"Is it already so close..." Gennaji gritted his teeth, his face as if water was about to drip out. "If you don't retreat, it will be too late..."
Gennaji, who had already felt that the situation was so serious that it was beyond replenishment, suddenly a bold plan popped up in his mind.
"......Tell me Xie Miao and Yuri." Gennaji said in a deep voice to the official beside him, "Let them two meet in the meeting room immediately. I have an important order to tell them two."
Xie Miao and Yuri - both of them are senior officials in the city of Arile, who are in charge of Arile's finances and military affairs, and are like Gennaji's left-handed hands.
After giving this order, Gennaji continued to walk towards the meeting with his hands on his back...
...
...
That night.
A team of soldiers rushed towards the residences of the major nobles in the city of Arile.
These soldiers were all Arrier's defenders.
Although the mansions of each noble have their own guards, facing the large number of guards coming over Arrier, the pitifully small number of guards were unable to resist.
The powerless guards could only watch Arrier's defenders rush into their employer's mansion.
Faced with these soldiers who suddenly rushed into their mansion, the nobles were shocked.
After rushing into the mansions of various nobles, the officers in charge of the team leader announced Gennaji's orders to the shocked nobles:
"The Britannian army has approached Aril, and evacuate Aril immediately and there must be no objection."
After announcing Gennazi's order to all the nobles, the officers in charge of the team led their soldiers to use slightly rough means to urge the nobles to pack their luggage and prepare to leave Aryl overnight.
If he had a choice, Gennaji wanted to leave these unsuccessful nobles and only lead the officials and defenders in the city to escape with valuable things.
But Gennagi couldn't do that.
If these nobles are left behind, he will definitely be executed even if he escapes to a safe place.
Therefore, even if he was reluctant, Gennaji could only let the defenders in the city go to the mansions of various nobles and force all the nobles in the city to escape with them.
He dispatched the defenders in the city and forced all the nobles to escape with them - this is the bold plan that Gennad thought of after hearing the Britannian army during the day today when he heard that the Britannian army was only more than 30 miles away from them.
Gennaji decided to give it a break.
Although they may be criticized by the nobles in the future, it is better than staying with Arriel to accompany the nobles to die.
After learning that Gennaji wanted to force them to escape, the nobles led by Grand Duke Qixiuval naturally resisted fiercely.
But after the soldiers pulled out the long swords from their waists from the sheath, the nobles immediately became quiet, cursing and packing their luggage.
When asked the soldiers to go to the residences of various nobles, Gennaji gave them a power-if any noble dared to disobey, they could draw their swords directly.
Gennaji has been dealing with these nobles for many years, so he knows very well that these nobles are just a group of guys who are weak and afraid of hardship. As long as they light up their swords from the scabbard, they will be obedient.
Gennadi set up the meeting place at the east gate of Arrier.
Officials at all levels had already gathered at the east gate of Arrier with their luggage.
Officials at all levels of Aler are not very rich people, so they don’t have much luggage and property to pack. The official with the most luggage is just stuffed with a carriage.
And these nobles are different.
After asking the soldiers to force the nobles to bring them, the nobles of all sizes in the city also rushed to the gathering place with their temporary packed luggage.
