Chapter 577: Pressure On the Nobles

Chapter 578: Pressure On the Nobles

In particular, Baron Kant had always acted as if he did not accept any noble’s allegiance, which made them even more terrified. Although the nobles of the North County were weak, they were still nobles. Their miserable fate was like a sharp sword hanging in the hearts of the upper-class nobles of South County, making them feel alert.

Even though Baron Kant had sent troops from the north city gate of Lionheart City to deal with the current Grand Duke of Leo, Cameron, in the eyes of the nobles in South County who did not know the existence of the world nobles, Grand Duke Cameron was not worth for Baron Kant to send such a powerful force. Therefore, they didn’t know what kind of ambition Baron Kant had.

Baron Kant had long become the number one noble of the Dukedom of Leo in the eyes of the upper-class noble families other than five major world noble families. Many nobles had even spread rumors that made the Grand Duke Cameron voluntarily give up the position of grand duke to Baron Kant. They wanted to use this to remind Grand Duke Cameron to understand the situation clearly, they wanted to end the terror caused by Baron Kant who was about to launch a war to seize the position of grand duke.

At this moment, Baron Kant sent out his troops. He brought with him a terrifying force that could crush all the upper-class nobles in South County. All the nobles in South County were trembling under the pressure of Baron Kant. Many upper-class nobles were ready to leave the Dukedom of Leo. The smart nobles could deduce Baron Kant’s behavior. Kant would definitely not let these old noble families stay in Dukedom of Leo.

There were only two paths left for them — either die or get lost.

As for letting them fight Baron Kant at the cost of their own resources, forgot it. As long as they had noble status and power in their hands, they would be able to develop their families well when they went there. Then, why did they have to use their weak strength to fight Baron Kant’s terrifying army like an egg hitting a stone?

Even if they succeeded, there wouldn’t be too many benefits. After all, there were so many upper-class noble families, so the fruits of victory wouldn’t be distributed too much to each noble family. If they failed, the families that had been passed down for more than 300 years would be directly exterminated.

The risk was too great, and it was completely disproportionate to the benefits. The smart upper-class noble families in the South County wouldn’t allow their families to participate in such a gambit.

In Lionheart City, the nobles of the Eastern Noble District began to join forces and discuss their future paths. They discussed joining a new dukedom or kingdom together and discussed forming an alliance in advance. It saved them from being bullied by the local noble in other countries. After 300 years of development, the relationship between the upper-class nobles had long been complicated. They were like relatives, it was very simple for them to form alliance.

The upper-class noble families were very powerful. In Lionheart City alone, if they wanted to, they could gather over 10,000 elite soldiers and over 1,000 powerful grand knights. However, they did not have any intention of occupy the Lionheart City while Kant was not around.

The upper-class noble families were not very clear about how powerful Baron Kant was. However, they knew that Lionheart City was only one of Baron Kant’s six big cities. The power of Lionheart City alone could crush the combined forces of these upper-class noble families. If they dared to seize Lionheart City while it was unguarded, even if they succeeded, Baron Kant might take revenge on them in the future. It would also make their noble family name disappear in the long river of history.

Kant had expected the reaction of the upper-class noble families.

However, Kant was still prepared to start a war with all the upper-class noble families in South County. Because in Kant’s mind, it was impossible for the five world nobles to tolerate the upper-class noble families developing such powerful strength without any countermeasures.

Despite having such thoughts, Kant did not surround and kill these noble families and the grand knight-level forces in Lionheart City before he sent out his troops.

At this time, Baron Kant had already sent out his troops. They needed time to leave the city, return to the territory to reorganize, and leave Dukedom of Leo. They were extremely pressed for time. Therefore, the upper-class noble families in the Eastern District of Lionheart City acted unusually quickly. Under the common external pressure, they discussed, negotiated, and formed the alliance very quickly. Most of them had drawn up a general framework, and the remaining details were agreed upon when they escaped from Dukedom of Leo.

Therefore, an hour after Baron Kant’s soldiers left the north city gate of Lionheart City, the upper-class noble families in Lionheart City had already agreed and signed their respective covenants. Subsequently, the East Main Road of Lionheart City, which was ten miles long and thirty meters wide, was completely packed with noble carriages, grand knights and noble soldiers under the noble families.

At the east city gate of Lionheart City, Kant’s soldiers were methodically allowing the noble to leave Lionheart City. Of course, they had to pay the “exit fee” to leave the city.

The person in charge of handling this matter was naturally not the level-five troop class that guarded the city gate. Whether it was Rhodok Sergeants or Swadian Sergeants, they were not good at dealing with the noble. However, if they were to manage a huge estate on their own, they might make a lot of mistakes. However, if they were to stick to one principle and deal with the noble families, it would be the most appropriate thing to do.

Kant had sent 30 Swadian Royal Knights to the east city gate of Lionheart city to collect the “exit fees” from the noble families. There were three arched gateways at the eastern gate of Lionheart City. Each gateway was six meters wide. Ten Swadian Royal Knights were in charge of one gateway, which was more than enough.

The level five archers on the city tower and the level five infantrymen on both sides of the gateways were powerful enough to ensure that they could collect the “exit fee” before letting the noble families pass. Unless these noble families joined forces to attack the east city gate of Lionheart City. However, the noble families closest to the east city gate would never agree to such an action. After all, no matter what the final outcome was, these people at the front would definitely suffer heavy losses. They might even lose their lives as upper-class noble families.

Although they could not join forces to attack the east city gate of Lionheart City, it was difficult for them to be very “generous” and quickly pay the “exit fee”. Baron Kant was really too ruthless. An “exit fee” was enough to make the upper-class noble families, who had three hundred years of heritage, feel pained.
