Chapter 258

"Don't say that. I'm just managing it for you for the time being." Sean didn't mind Rudd's anger at all.

Even if he and Lonnie combined, Sean could knock them over with one hand.

In this world, people without strength basically have no human rights - of course, for the enemy. In the eyes of the boulder family, lonnis is still very valuable. As for Rudd, who knows him.

"Temporarily?" Rudd can't believe that there are people in the world who can be so shameless.

"You see, because my army is here, the current situation in your territory is very good. There is no dispute or unrest at all." Sean smiled, and his investigation into Rudd was indeed very detailed. "Can you expect your family to pay for you? I'm afraid they're already arguing about the next heir Does the title your father left you seem hereditary? Since you have no children, the title can be inherited by someone who is related to you by blood. "

Rudd was silent.

He knew that Sean was telling the truth.

Over the years, he has focused on the development of the territory, often ignoring some internal disturbing factors. Moreover, with the development of the territory, many relatives he has never heard of have constantly emerged, which makes him very worried. After all, these can be regarded as relatives. He can't deny these relatives in cold blood.

In fact, this is also because Rudd is too young, and the Michelin family is not an old aristocrat.

Many real nobles will abandon all these unhelpful relatives at the moment they embark on the road of vigorous development. At least they won't concentrate them on their own manor like Rudd. They don't even have to do anything, and they can get some money every month. His practice is harmful to any noble family, but Rudd doesn't know it.

So that now he finally wants to taste the bitter fruit - facing the betrayal and usurpation of his relatives.

For a nobleman like lonnis, losing a territory was nothing. Even if he promised Sean to take the baron to Sean on terms, the territory was still the territory of the kingdom of dabion. Although Sean has all the jurisdiction and domination of this territory, he still has to pay a certain territory tax to the kingdom of dabion according to the rules of the kingdom of dabion, and if Sean is willing, he can even take into account the empty title of a baron of the kingdom of dabion.

But for Rudd, the situation is not so easy.

This territory is his core family territory and is also a territory granted by the royal family of the kingdom of dabion. If Rudd loses this territory, he will be immediately beaten back to his original shape. In other words, he will change from a local aristocrat to an ordinary aristocrat.

Viscount, it just becomes a short title.

In the whole kingdom of dabion, there are not 100000 nobles with short titles such as Viscount, but also 40000 or 50000 nobles.

Therefore, the occupation of territory is basically two different concepts and results for Rudd and lannis.

"If you want to occupy my territory, you might as well kill me..."

"Don't say that in front of me. I really will." Sean glanced at Rudd with a calm tone. "Of course, we can deal with it in another way."

Rudd closed his lips and looked all ears.

"The territory belongs to me, and you can still be your Lord Well, or to put it another way, consul. "

Rudd's eyes widened in disbelief.

"The kingdom of dabion will not allow this to happen." Lonnie frowned and said, "this is just a war between our nobles, not between two countries. Even if you occupy this territory, you still have to pay taxes to the kingdom of dabion, and RUD will soon be recalled to the king's capital. It is impossible to let RUD go If you do, it's tantamount to making Rudd treason. "

Ceding territory is a national term.

Wars like Sean, the boulder family, lonnis and Rudd are only battles at the aristocratic level, so it is impossible to cede territory. In terms of aristocracy, that is occupation. However, although it also has jurisdiction and domination equal to the whole territory, this territory still belongs to the kingdom of dabion, and the kingdom of dabion can even recover the territory through negotiation.

Of course, if the occupier wishes, he can even automatically obtain the aristocratic status of the country according to the area of the territory.

For example, if Sean really obtains these two territories from lonnis and Rudd, he can also be a Viscount of the kingdom of dabion if he wants. If the territory can be extended to the count's territory, his title will be automatically promoted to the count of the kingdom of dabion.

But in these rules, as the original Lord of the territory, he must withdraw.

If Sean wants Rudd to stay as consul, it is indeed an act of rebellion, which will not be allowed by any country. Rudd is allowed to stay unless the kingdom of dabion voluntarily cedes the whole territory to the Principality of lane, but at this time, he is actually a person of the Principality of lane, not a person of the kingdom of dabion.

"So what?" Sean couldn't have been unaware of these things. He just raised his eyebrows.

"It will cause..." Lonnie just wanted to explain the consequences, but as soon as he spoke, he immediately realized a problem and looked at Sean with an unbelievable face. "Your goal from the beginning was not modge collar, that was just an excuse for you? Your idea has always been on Rudd! "

"What you want is not an ordinary war..." Rudd responded immediately after hearing lannis's words. Only in terms of their reaction consciousness, they can be regarded as very excellent. "You want to drag the whole kingdom of dabion into the quagmire of war You want the kingdom of dabion to wage war with the Principality of lane again, and I am the key breakthrough on your chessboard! "

"Congratulations, you guessed right." Sean smiled and said frankly, "but now that you know this, it's even more impossible for me to let you go back."

Rudd and Lonnie's faces changed slightly.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to kill people." Sean glanced at them, walked to the table and poured himself a glass of red wine, "Viscount Rudd is really my breakthrough. If I do so, it will undoubtedly be a slap in the face of the kingdom of dabion. It's difficult to bear this tone in the case of the kingdom of dabion. They will certainly find a way to recover their face. At this time, I just need to provoke a little more. What do you think will happen? "

"You're too good, aren't you? What if the royal family of the kingdom of dabion ignores your provocation? "

"So I need your territory." Sean pointed to lannis. "A large part of the capital income of the kingdom of dabion comes from the wilderness. You can also enter the gorge rift valley from the edge of your Baron, but as long as I own your territory, any slave team of dabion Kingdom who wants to go to the gorge Rift Valley must enter my territory. What do you think will happen if I don't want anyone to enter? "

"You!" Lonnis did not expect that Sean's plan was so clever that it could even be said to be linked one by one.

If the financial source of the wilderness is lost, lonnis believes that at least more than half of the upper nobles in the whole dabion kingdom will go bankrupt. Once this happens, the kingdom of dabion will soon fall into the crisis of civil strife. Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, or to quell the noble contradictions in the Kingdom, even if the kingdom of dabion really doesn't want to fight, it must fight.

"Even if we don't go through the gorge Rift Valley, we can go through Peterson wetland." Rudd said in a deep voice, "it's just a long time at most."

"Don't think I really don't understand anything." There was a sneer on Sean's mouth, "if so, the cost will at least double or triple. At this cost, unless it is to capture valuable slaves such as grey elves or bear people, lions and werewolves, it will be a loss. And even if captured, the number must be large But do you think there is only your slave team in the kingdom of dabion in the wilderness? Maybe the hard-earned slaves will be cheaper to others. Besides, even if you do, I can send troops into the wilderness and attack the slave captors of the kingdom of dabion there. "

Rudd was silent.

He had seen that Sean disdained to use any conspiracy, that is, to make it clear that he wanted a national war. If you are forced to this, even if the royal family of the kingdom of dabion can bear it, it will never be able to ignore it. It is almost certain that another war will break out with the Principality of Ryan.

"Don't forget, I haven't agreed to give up my territory to you."

"Then I have to spend some energy sending troops to occupy it." Sean shrugged his shoulders. His indifferent appearance was really irritating.

If you don't want to give it yourself, I'll have to rob it.

It's a disgusting confession.

"Why did you tell us this?" Rudd pondered for a moment and finally asked.

There was a trace of appreciation in Sean's eyes.

Rudd, after all, is an ordinary little aristocrat who started from scratch, so he often thinks about his own family and doesn't think about the future of the country. So he soon realized that people like Sean would never say these words to himself for no reason. He must have other meanings.

"Under the circumstances of the general trend, if I were you, I would change my mind." Sean smiled, "and I bet you that the boulder family must be thinking about standing in line in the future Do you understand what I mean? "

Both Rudd and lonnis fell into silence.

If you can't see what Sean is trying to woo them at this time, they're really fools（ To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly ticket at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
