Chapter 400

In the sandcastle, the special envoy from the imperial capital is waiting.

Sitting in the reception room of the sandcastle, they seemed a little domineering.They always looked at everything in this sandcastle with critical eyes, their faces turned up, and they looked very arrogant.

"Why haven't you come yet? Did you make us guests from afar wait for a long time? What's wrong with you people, don't you even bring a cup of tea?"

Since they have some opinions on the officials of the Mundra Empire, and the entire desert territory is constantly busy, no one is in the mood to pay attention to the arrival of the special envoy from the imperial capital.

For this obvious negligence, the arrogant officials were very angry.In their view, the desert territory is just a territory of the Mundra Empire, even if Zhao Feng is a Marquis, it is not worth mentioning to them.You know, there are two dukes and one marquis who came to announce the decree this time.

"I'm sorry, the entire territory is very busy right now, please forgive me for the negligence..." The people who entertained them didn't really care about the accusations of the special envoys.

"If this happens again, I will record all of this and report it to His Majesty Roland III. Hmph, you untouchables, how dare you put on airs with us."

The special envoys from the imperial capital were very displeased with the lack of respect of these servants.Fortunately, they also brought a few personal servants with them, serving tea and water for them, very busy.

"Alright, alright, my lord envoy, our lord is here." Just when these servants could hardly contain their anger, Zhao Feng came.

Seeing these two special envoys with unfamiliar faces, Zhao Feng did not salute, but asked directly: "Who are you two, are you sent by the emperor?"

Regarding Zhao Feng's disrespectful behavior, the expressions of the two special envoys suddenly changed.Especially the Duke among them snorted coldly: "Duck, Earl Evans, please pay attention to your words and deeds. You are a citizen of the empire, how can you be so presumptuous!"

"Who are you?" Zhao Feng had no impression of this strange face in front of him.Although he has been to the imperial capital, he doesn't know much about the aristocratic circles in the imperial capital.

The duke puffed up his chest and said, "I am Russell. Hazel is the cousin of His Majesty Roland III, the authentic royal blood. I, the plenipotentiary of His Majesty Roland III, declare to you..."

"Who, I haven't heard of it!" Zhao Feng was very unfamiliar with this name. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "You are a duke, not a liar?"

He knew that the duke title of the empire was very difficult to obtain.There are only a few people who seem to own a duke.Like this one, he has never heard of the daimyo.

Hearing Zhao Feng's words, the Duke said, "I was promoted only recently..."

"So that's it, I know." Zhao Feng said lightly, still without any respect, and said, "Okay, to make a long story short, what purpose are you going to read out here?"

The current Zhao Feng doesn't have a good impression of the people of the Mundella Empire or Roland III.When he thought of his grandfather, he might have been betrayed by Roland III, and he couldn't maintain a peaceful attitude towards these people.

"You..." The Duke wanted to get angry, but the deputy earl next to him pulled him back and said, "My lord, this time we are here, it is not the time to show our prestige..."

"Oh, yes..." Russell heard what the deputy envoy said.Hazel suppressed the anger in his heart.He was originally just a side branch of the royal family, not an important person, but recently he was promoted with great difficulty to the position of Duke.In fact, he has no real power.

Thinking of the purpose of coming this time, his face changed, and he said with a smile: "Dark, Marquis Evans, the purpose of coming from the imperial capital this time is mainly to read a decree to you..."

Say it, Russell.Hazel began to read the lengthy will in a cadenced voice.

Compared with the previous decree of Roland III, this decree is extraordinarily long, with many colorful sentences written in the middle.In it, not only the glorious tradition of the Evans family is traced, but also Jerry who died in battle is honored.Duke Evans also praised Zhao Feng's outstanding performance.

In Zhao Feng's words, this is not a will, but more like a long letter.

However, Zhao Feng was not deceived by these colorful sentences.He knew that behind this, there was definitely something he didn't want to see.

Roland III is not a lord who likes to be kind!
"The Evans family has made outstanding achievements, Dak. Evans is talented, hardworking and capable, especially Dak. The Marquess of Evans was promoted to Duke, and he married the royal princess Elaine Hazel, enjoying royal treatment Make Elaine Hazel the crown prince, and wait for Elaine Hazel. Hazel inherits the throne, takes the regent, leads the ministers, and succeeds the prime minister. Since no one is looking after his territory, he will temporarily hand it over to him when he is free. Then deal with it separately..."

"Sure enough, the fox's tail was revealed in the end..." Zhao Feng couldn't help but sneered when he heard what the special envoy said, feeling extremely angry in his heart.

Roland III talked good things for a long time, and finally made his mind on his desert territory.

It seems that he covets this desert territory that has turned into an oasis, as if he has incorporated it into the empire's territory in his heart.

"What kind of marriage, promotion and promotion are all illusions!"

Zhao Feng knew that although the imperial decree said something nice, it was about military and regency rights.But Zhao Feng knew that this was just a big pie.

He believed that Roland III would not give up his rights easily.Even if he could really inherit these rights, he would not be surprised.

After all, Roland III had something to do with his grandfather's death.

Seeing that Zhao Feng was sullen and did not speak, the special envoy from the imperial capital couldn't help being angry, and said, "Dark, Earl Evans, why don't you accept the order to thank you? Are you trying to resist the order?"

Zhao Feng nodded and said: "This kind of honor is too great, not to mention that I already have a wife and I dare not accept such a reward. Please tell your majesty..."

"What, do you really want to resist?" Russell asked.Hearing Zhao Feng's words, Hazel showed a shocked expression and said, "Could it be that nothing happened between you and Elaine, Princess Hazel?"

Zhao Feng and Elaine.The matter of Hazel's closeness was widely spread in the entire imperial capital.In their view, something should have happened to these two people long ago.

As for the gift of marriage this time, it was also what they expected.

Zhao Feng said: "I'm sorry, I already have a wife. And if Her Majesty the Princess marries me, she must be a regular wife. However, I treat all wives equally, and I can't satisfy his request at all."

Russell.Hazel originally thought it would be a good journey, but he didn't expect to encounter such twists and turns. Hearing this, he was speechless.

At this time, the deputy envoy next to him took out another letter and said, "In this case, please read this letter of His Majesty's will!"

"What, Santos, there is another letter?" Regarding this scene, even Russell, who is the special envoy, said.Hazel was a little unexpected.

The deputy envoy named Santos ignored the surprised Russell.Hazel, instead read the will to Zhao Feng.Compared with the previous letter, this letter is much stricter.

In this letter, Santos pointed out that the desert territory is now becoming more and more excessive, not only tax evasion, but also the suspicion of self-reliance.

At the end of the letter, Roland III warned Zhao Feng: "If you resist the decree, you will be the enemy of the royal family, you will be rebellious, and you will be cast aside by all the people of the Mundra Empire. Not only that, the kingdom will use the power of the whole country to attack the desert territory , to wipe out these rebels. And the Evans family will also be removed from the aristocratic circle of the empire..."

"very good……"

Zhao Feng looked at the letter and smiled.Roland III deserves to be Roland III.He started by throwing a sweet bait, and then swung a big stick.

This kind of coercion and temptation is to force Zhao Feng to give in and hand over the desert territory.

If it was a long time ago, Zhao Feng might have succumbed.But now he has seen countless big storms, how could he be intimidated by this little fright!

What's more, Zhao Feng had made up his mind a long time ago and did not intend to continue to be at the mercy of Roland III.According to that information, Jerry.It is likely that Evans was surrounded by Roland III, leading to his final death.

With the lessons learned from the past, Zhao Feng will never give in, hand over his painstaking efforts in the past two years, and hand over this thriving territory to Roland III.

"I choose to resist the decree, you can go back and report." Zhao Feng said to the deputy envoy coldly: "I am not frightened. Tell His Majesty Roland III that I am in the desert territory, waiting for his soldiers to come down .He comes to one, I kill one. He comes to a pair, I kill a pair!"

These words were spoken loudly and full of murderous intent.

Originally, the deputy envoy named Santos planned to say a few harsh words, but after seeing Zhao Feng's expression, his frightened voice became quieter, and he said sternly, "You will regret it!"

"Maybe, but not now!" Zhao Feng replied with a smile to the words of the deputy envoy of Santos, which attracted countless cheers and applause from the side.

"well said!"

At some point, Zauri, Afra and other desert tribes all ran over.Gordon and Gauss of the holy city, together with some other leaders of the desert territory, all ran over.

After hearing that the special envoy from the imperial capital had arrived, they were all worried whether Zhao Feng would hand over this desert territory in exchange for their own glory and wealth.

After all, Roland III's gift of marriage, coupled with the duke's title and position, is very attractive and a heart-warming thing.

At this time, Zhao Feng's answer made them let go of the big stone hanging in their hearts.

Seeing the performance of Zhao Feng and these people, the deputy envoy understood that these people had already made up their minds.Thinking of this, his face was gloomy.

"This time's errand, it's a mess!"

Hearing these applause, Russell as special envoy.Hazel yelled: "You untouchables are so arrogant. Wait until His Majesty leads an army of millions to kill you all!"

"Really, why don't we give it a try first and see if we can kill all of you here?" Hearing the words of this arrogant special envoy, Zauri, who had been patiently by the side, was really angry.

Looking at the murderous look of this rough desert man, and then seeing the soldiers behind him who are eager to fight, Russell.Hazel couldn't help but took a step back, staggered, and almost fell down.

This time, their mission was only less than 50 people, which was too far behind the strength of this desert territory.If these people are really annoyed, their fate is really hard to say.

Forty or fifty people, maybe all the dregs left after being slaughtered at once.

"Okay, you guys are ruthless, let's go!" Looking at these people with smiles on their faces, Russell.Hazel hurriedly said to his servants and subordinates: "Go, these traitors are really rebellious!"

Hearing his words, his cronies quickly packed their bags and planned to leave.Originally, they planned to rely on the decree to make a fortune.Unexpectedly, not only did the declaration not get anything, but even his life would be lost.Seeing this scene, they naturally wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, lest they really become dead souls under the sword.

"Go, go, go!"

These people cleaned up quickly, and ran away in a desperate manner.

Watching these people flee, Zhao Feng did not stop them.These people were of little value to him.Even if you stay, it's useless.

Looking at the official titles of the two people, although they are very big, judging from their words and deeds, they don't look like people in high positions at all, but more like a scapegoat.

No matter what aspect he considered, Zhao Feng never thought of doing anything to them.

"What a lost dog..."

Seeing how these people were running away, Aphra shook her head and said contemptuously, "Why are these Mundra officials so hateful?"

Aphra has dealt with many Mundra officials, and found that most of these officials are extremely greedy and arrogant, and basically there are no good people.

Zhao Feng shook his head and said: "Corruption is just breeding. There are always many of these moths. Unless they go through a baptism of blood and fire, they will keep increasing..."

Zhao Feng's words are relatively profound and difficult to understand.But they knew that this was the beginning of Zhao Feng's formal break with the Mundra Empire.

"If that's the case, shall we still declare war on the mercenary guild?" Thinking of the Mundra Empire's upcoming enemy in the desert territory, Aphra felt a little heavy.

As one of the three major empires on the mainland, the Mundra Empire, although it has undergone a split and rebellion, still has millions of troops, which is a force that cannot be ignored.

Fighting against such a country is a very terrifying thing.

Sometimes in war, personal force is not considered, but all aspects must be considered.The power of the current desert territory looks very weak.

Compared with the behemoth of the Mundra Empire, they seem very small.

Otherwise, Roland III would not have prepared a second letter to force Zhao Feng to surrender by means of intimidation.In his opinion, as long as he is a sensible person, he will definitely choose to submit.

However, Zhao Feng did not choose this path, but chose to fight to the end.

Zhao Feng nodded and said: "The ones who should come will definitely come. Even if we don't declare war with them, I guess they will still deal with us. Instead of doing this, we should show our attitude. By the way, those good pickled heads And the gauntlet, where has it arrived, and when will it be delivered to the door of the Mercenary Federation?"

Zhao Feng intends to declare war in a high-profile way this time, instead of hiding it.He wants to tell the whole continent that he wants to break with the mercenary guild and eliminate these people.

"We're almost in Mali. If the waterway goes well, we'll be there in three days." Aphra understands the information very clearly.

Zhao Feng nodded and said: "Okay, let's take advantage of these few days to straighten out our armaments and prepare for the coming of this war!"

Whether it is the Mundra Empire or the Mercenary Guild, they are forces that should not be underestimated.

"To deal with these two major power groups at once, you are really crazy." Regarding Zhao Feng's choice, even the arrogant Dan Kun found it a bit unbelievable.

"Why, you no longer slow down, but are so urgent?"

Dankun said: "You can actually use a strategy of slowing down your troops. I think your territory will develop in less than three years. At that time, you will have a [-]% to [-]% chance of winning the battle against the Mundra Empire. Now , the odds of winning are only [-] to [-]%..."

Zhao Feng said: "You guys forgot, time is running out. The war of the gods is about to start. Time is very tight, I can only take risks."

Open the bow without turning back the arrow!

Zhao Feng knows that now he can only use the fastest time to get rid of the potential threats in the desert territory as soon as possible and eliminate all the enemies he knows.

God of War Sosa has long revealed that the flames of war will spread throughout the continent.

Zhao Feng knows that war is inevitable, and it is better to enter the war as soon as possible instead of procrastinating to the end to face the war.Only in this way can soldiers who have undergone the baptism of blood and fire bear heavy responsibilities.

"By the way, is there any news from the warriors of the various races who went to the Demonic Beast Forest?" At this time, Zhao Feng attached great importance to the power of the Demonic Beast Forest.

One must know that these fighters of various races are all in the role of one against ten.

Alice nodded and said: "They have arrived at the Elven Valley. According to the results of the magic communication, Emily has already started to prepare for the departure. It's just that due to the large number of people, the speed is not very fast. According to their speed, it is estimated that it will take seven or eight God, to reach the territory."

After thinking about it, Zhao Feng said: "This speed should be in time. We should still be able to count on these warriors of various races. They will be our trump card."

Zhao Feng understands that even if he breaks with the Mundra Empire and declares war, the empire still needs a certain amount of time to react.In such a large country, every time a war is fought, discussions are required to select generals and arrange funds. After all these procedures, ten days and a half months have passed.

The mercenary guild is even more of a loose organization.Their reaction speed may be slower.After all, these mercenaries are scattered all over the world.

The gloomy sky outside the window was about to rain again, Zhao Feng said with emotion in his heart: "The black clouds overwhelm the village, and the storm is about to come!"
