Spellcasting Heavens

What do you want to do? Iseult pursed her lips, her eyes flashing with danger.

If it had been in the past and he had encountered such a strong counterattack from the aristocratic forces, he would have definitely chosen to retreat.

Because although most spellcasters are powerful, they are far from invincible. As long as there is a sufficient number of elite cannon fodder, they can still use their numerical advantage to drain the opponent's magic power and eventually capture or kill them.

But now, he no longer cares about the number. As long as he wants, he can raze the entire city to the ground at any time, not to mention the few remaining guards and private troops in the hands of the nobles.

The only thing that needs to be worried about is how much negative impact killing so many nobles at once will have on the rule of the kingdom.

In particular, the serious lack of qualified bureaucrats has always been the world's biggest problem. It will take decades or even hundreds of years to slowly establish a complete training system.

Before this, nobles were irreplaceable, and only they could maintain the stability of a country and ensure that there would be no frequent riots and unrest.

The nobles who have monopolized knowledge and rights for a long time are undoubtedly very aware of this, so they have acted confidently for a long time. Some powerful nobles can even evade the royal family, and then use poisoning, marriage, alliances and other means to finally destroy themselves. descendants to the throne.

It can be said that in the inherent knowledge of the nobles, they are the real masters of this world, the proud sons of heaven who are born noble. Even those temples with countless believers cannot really threaten their status.

But now, as the Queen begins to train and promote the civilian faction, they finally have an unprecedented sense of crisis.

This sudden outbreak is not so much dissatisfaction with the current political environment as it is fear of the future, fear that one day they will be replaced by a newly rising class.

What do we want to do? No! It's what you want to do! From the day you entered the palace, the kingdom has been bleeding. Countless noble families who have devoted their blood for this country have been humiliated and expelled, while those untouchables have stolen The position that originally belonged to them. Is this fair? And just now, you actually wanted to tarnish the last dignity and glory of the nobles. We have had enough! If the kingdom no longer needs the support of the nobles, please say it outright, and we will do it ourselves leave.

The palace nobles standing in the middle of the hall undoubtedly felt the powerful force gathered together, and their whole bodies suddenly became tougher. At the same time, they did not forget to cast their eyes on the young queen on the throne.

obviously,

The object of his demonstration was ostensibly Iseult, but in fact he was directly targeting Villa who supported all this.

Oh? Leave? Are you going to give up your territory and title? How many people are willing to come forward and let me see. Vilia raised his finger and tapped the table lightly, without revealing even a little bit of nervousness or panic in his tone. .

Needless to say, in the face of the pressure from the nobles, she not only had no intention of giving in, but actually wanted to take this opportunity to establish her authority, deal with a group of the most restless guys, and permanently deprive them of their titles and territories.

Once these two things are lost, the nobility will lose its foundation and can no longer be called a nobility.

Maybe the first one or two generations can still barely maintain the dignity of the nobility by relying on various relatives, but it won't be long before they are gradually excluded from the circle and become ordinary people.

As the Queen showed an unprecedented tough attitude, the nobles in the hall suddenly fell into a dilemma.

For one thing, they weren't sure if it was just a threat or if it was real.

On the other hand, if it is true, then should I give up the family business accumulated and created by the hard work of several generations, or even ten or twenty generations of ancestors?

Just when many nobles were reluctant to take huge risks and continue to intensify conflicts, the palace noble suddenly took a step forward, bent down slightly, and said righteously: Your Majesty! I am willing! If You insist on supporting and pushing the kingdom into the abyss of eternal destruction, please allow me and my family to leave.

I do too!

And I!

If the kingdom is no longer a kingdom of nobles, I would rather serve the monarchs of other countries.

…

Suddenly, at least one-third of the people followed suit and clearly expressed their strong dissatisfaction, but the other two-thirds remained silent for the time being.

Especially those dukes who still retained their huge territories were just watching the young queen who came to power through a coup, wanting to see what choice she would make.

Whether to compromise with the nobles in exchange for the stability of the country, or to choose to take back these people's territories forcefully, even if it causes some parts of the country to fall into chaos and disorder.

As a saying goes, in this extremely dangerous game, those who charge forward are always the cannon fodder who have been deceived and used, while the real leader always hides behind and calmly observes the situation until he is sure that he has a big chance. Only when you have a chance to win will you end up in person.

If they find that they cannot win, they will quickly adjust their strategy, either reach an agreement with their opponent, or directly surrender conditionally, never risking their entire fortune and life.

Admiring the group of guys in front of him who thought that their numbers were enough to make the monarch change his mind, Villa smiled contemptuously and declared bluntly: Very good! Then I declare as the queen that you are now treating me The oath of allegiance is lifted. I give you one month to hand over your territory and leave the kingdom.

Wha...what?! The leading palace noble opened his eyes wide, completely unable to believe what he heard.

Not only him, the originally noisy hall suddenly became silent.

Shock!

fear!

despair!

Not many people dared to believe that the queen dared to clean up one-third of the nobles in the palace.

Although the titles of these people are generally not high, their political influence is not small at all. Many positions in the army have been held by them for generations.

Why, didn't you hear clearly? Then I'll repeat it again. As the queen, I declare that from now on, your oath of allegiance to me is lifted. I will give you one month to pack up your things and hand over your title and land. , and then go wherever you want. But if anyone is still hanging around after a month, don’t worry about me treating them as rebels. Villa glanced at the wonderful expressions on the faces of the nobles under the throne, and made the final decision without thinking Ultimatum.

In fact, as early as the end of the war, she had begun planning how to clear out some of the nobles and make room for the civilians who had been promoted.

But who would have thought that before he could take action, these stupid guys would jump out and hand him a perfect excuse.

You must know that the nobles themselves proposed to leave the kingdom, rather than her taking the initiative to expel them. There is no need to bear the corresponding political risks.
