"—Please allow us to refuse."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Strictly prohibited by the imperial guards, the angry Freya almost couldn't find the east, west, north, south, north, south, the hand holding the staff was shaking, and the magic power was even gathering.

Even the two female guards next to Freya couldn't stand it any longer, they drew out the long swords around their waists and pointed them straight.

"Don't blame us for being rude to Her Royal Highness again!"

However, it was such a subconscious, habitual action that instantly attracted the attention of the Imperial Guards. Before the two female guards could react, two sharp spears pierced their abdomens.

It passed through the body directly, and the blood flowed horizontally.

The rest of the female guards screamed in fright on the spot, such a bloody and cruel scene, even Princess Freya turned pale from fright, and stepped back several steps on the spot.

"You, you dare to murder the personal guard of Her Highness the Princess in broad daylight!"

The accompanying alchemist spoke directly and issued the most intense reprimand.

He is the oldest alchemist in the entire kingdom in terms of age and qualifications. He is highly respected, and no one knows. He invented the drugs that controlled the healed brave before, and the effect is as good as ever.

It's just such an alchemist who usually respects the king when he sees him.

As soon as he finished speaking, he instantly turned his head to look at a guard who was coming to him, and walked directly in front of him. The eyes shrouded in the helmet, like a beast in the dark, frightened him staggeringly, backing away After a few steps, "You..., what do you want to do..."

The words are not finished yet.

Suddenly, the imperial guards punched him hard in the face, knocking the old man into the air and knocking him unconscious in the distance.

"All listen to the order, and anyone who is disrespectful, disrespectful, or unkind to the imperial guards will be killed!"

"—Yes!" xN

The loud and overwhelming shouts scared Freya and the others back a few steps.

"I, I, I..., I'm a princess, you can't treat me like this."

"His Royal Highness, let me say it again, this is the last time! - Please listen clearly, this is the order of the general, if you have any objections, please go to the general for instructions, if not, all the people around you, They all have to die!"

In a word, all the guards behind Freya huddled together for warmth in fright, and did not dare to gnaw.

They are like a group of ridiculous fish, they will only huddle subconsciously and gather together in the face of danger. ——Hmph, the imperial guards have never looked down on this group of cowards, idiots, who only eat trash.

Pairs of eyes full of murderous intent quickly surrounded Freya and his party.

"You are too lawless, no, I want to see him, I want to see that man, the healer is the dog I raised, a dog! Why should he!——Why should he snatch it away? I want to see that man whose surname is Ying of……"

A flash of light is fleeting.

When she came back to her senses, Freya found that her right arm had been cut by a sharp spear, and a bloody gash had been cut. The severe pain rushed to her brain instantly. The scream of the lungs.

It was the hands of the Praetorian Guards.

But in the next second, advanced healing techniques were used on the eldest princess, allowing her wounds to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the pain gradually disappeared.

It was also the hand of the Imperial Guard.

Because Freya's guards didn't even dare to breathe or move at this moment.

……

When the severe pain disappeared quickly, Freya, who came back to her senses, was about to yell with a ferocious face, and the next second, a sharp spear was aimed directly at her neck, just a short distance away. Like a demon from hell, cold-blooded and ruthless.

"His Royal Highness, let us hear next time that you call your lord general by his first name. It's not the level of petty trouble you're doing now."

"You, let me go!"

"Since you want to see the General so much, you can..., in fact, the General has already ordered that if a certain princess comes here to mess around, then let us follow the rules."

"...Rules? What rules!"

"Come here, tie me up, all of them! Take them to the general's office!"

With an order, countless imperial guards swarmed out.

Freya was tied up on the spot, and her guards took the initiative to throw away their weapons and begged for mercy, hoping to save their lives. As for the princess who was tied up?

Nobody cares at all!

They all just want to survive now, that's all.

Off-topic: Extra: [Reply Warlock] 6 (Financial Consensus)

【at the same time】

In the luxurious office of the Kingdom Castle second only to the king, Yan Baying gathered the eight richest merchants in the kingdom, and these eight merchants almost controlled nearly [-]% of the kingdom's free trade.

It also includes salt, iron, slaves, weapons, rice, these countless capital markets.

These merchants used to donate a large amount of gold and silver treasures every month, beautiful women and slaves, and used them to bribe various high-level officials in the kingdom in order to achieve the purpose of tax evasion and tax avoidance.

just now……

Yan Baying felt that the time was almost up, presumably these businessmen had already accumulated enough dazzling and beautiful gold and silver mountains in their hands.

"Master General, I don't know what's the matter with you calling so many of us here."

"Yeah, if it's okay, please allow us to leave, after all we still have a lot of things to do."

"If my lord wants to share dividends, as long as you say a word, we are willing to offer [-]% of each person's share, and give it all to the general for enjoyment. ——Hey, as long as you can always protect us, everyone who has money will earn together, and everyone will be blessed together Enjoy."

……

The businessmen all thought that the new young general could stand on the same front as the previous general as long as he gave some money. After all, no one would have trouble with money, right?

Rather than doing business seriously and handing over the hard-earned money to the country, it's better to put it in your own pocket and have a good time, isn't it?

however……

However, Yan Baying asked people to collect the books that had been collected a long time ago. All the evidences of collusion with nobles and corruption by these eight people were placed on the table in a dignified manner, which instantly made the eight people present The merchants were all taken aback, and their faces suddenly darkened.

Looking at the table full of things, they were all furious for a while.

"Master General, what do you mean by this!"

"No matter what you want to do, first you have to consider the consequences. You have to think clearly about what will happen if you fight against our entire merchant alliance. We control more than [-]% of the market in the kingdom. Aren't you afraid of chaos!"

"My lord general, if you think we don't give enough, you can just say it, we can talk, but you can't use such despicable means to threaten us! —— Push us into a hurry, no one will have a good life! "

……

The businessmen were filled with righteous indignation and slapped the table.

But it was the sound of them slapping the table violently, which made Yan Baying who was sitting in front of them look somber, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and you all dare to talk to me in such a tone."

The voice fell.

In an instant, countless Imperial Guards swarmed over, pointing cold and sharp spears directly at all of them, scaring the businessmen all dumbfounded, their legs trembling and they returned to the sofa again.

Yan Baying stood up, holding a wine glass in his hand, which contained bright red wine.

Everyone was too scared to say anything.

The whole room was suddenly quiet to the point where only the sound of Yan Baying's footsteps walking alone was left. The tact-tap-tap echoed in the room, and he walked around everyone slowly.

And the weird atmosphere made these businessmen a little breathless.

And just when everyone thought that Yan Baying didn't dare to do anything to them, the wine glass in Yan Baying's hand suddenly slammed on the head of one of the businessmen, and instantly pulled out the guards beside him. The long sword on the waist of the army, raised and lowered the knife in his hand, the light and blood of the knife.

The head of the businessman that flew out happened to land on the big table among the crowd.

The headless corpse fell slowly, bleeding all over the place.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

"General, spare your life, general, spare your life!"

"Don't kill me, please don't kill me, I'll give you whatever you want, I'll give it to you, general, please don't kill me!"

……

The businessman who died happened to be the largest iron ore businessman in the country, and he was also the first unlucky ghost Yan Baying chopped off.

"Now, are you all willing to cooperate with me?"

The remaining seven people were scared out of their wits long ago.

"Very well, I like to do business with straightforward people like you. From now on, we will share [-] to [-] of the business shares that each of you place in the chamber of commerce. I will keep [-]% for you, and the remaining [-]% will be handed over. Praetorians, filling the treasury."

"What, [-]%! Master General can't do it, [-]%, [-]% Our entire Chamber of Commerce can't even survive, and the workers' wages can't be paid."

"Do you think I'm discussing with you?"

The blood-splattered long sword was thrust fiercely into the table in front of everyone in an instant.

Yan Baying looked at all of them coldly.

"In a few days, you will soon see the scene of this guy's family being ransacked and chopped up. If I find that any of you dare to play tricks with me, I will let each of you die Before, I saw the whole house being ransacked and beheaded."

"General, spare your life, general, spare your life!"

"Of course, you can also take all your belongings and escape from the Kingdom of Jioral overnight. It doesn't matter. I have already prepared your arrest warrants. All towns, villages, and every pair of militias, guards, and border guards in the entire kingdom , have one in hand.”

"Ah??? This..., you..."

"Once the army finds out, if any of you want to sell your shop and run away, then whoever can catch your property will own it."

"We dare not, please forgive me, General."

"It's nice to have a consensus between us."

That night, it is said that every businessman who survived escaped into the carriage all night and rushed towards the town of his own chamber of commerce.

……

The iron ore businessman who was hacked to death by Yan Baying before was indeed ransacked by the imperial guards within a few days, and all his property was confiscated and turned over to the treasury. It is said that the property seized from this bastard's house at that time was It can almost be equal to the total fiscal revenue of the Kingdom of Giular for five full years.

The vacant iron ore business will be completely replaced by new businessmen personally selected by Yan Baying.

When this matter was reported to the king, the old king, who had always been stern, smiled for the first time at that moment, and his joyful mood made him quite comfortable that day.

……

"Master General, your previous orders have been completed."

"How about the financial income?"

"Far more than our expected income, it seems that those old foxes have indeed hoarded a considerable amount of wealth."

"Support a group of businessmen secretly, and gradually take over the market and profits of those old things. When the time is almost right, you will execute routine business, and all your property will be confiscated and handed over to the state treasury."

Hearing the words, the guards showed killing intent in their eyes.

"Obey, your will is above all else."

"Go and tell those old people in charge of finances to use part of the money to expand armaments and support the army, and part to economic construction and expand our market."

"As ordered."

"Finally, warn those old things again, and warn them all. From today on, whoever dares to embezzle the state money will be caught...you can use it for fun."

"As ordered."

"What about the thing I told you to do before?"

"Back to General, we have arranged for nearly a thousand people to transcribe all the books in the Kingdom Library day and night. Everything is in accordance with your requirements, without missing a word or missing a book."

"Very good. After copying, all the texts will be sent to my office."

"Follow your will!"

……

Off-topic: Extra episode: [Recovery Warlock] 7 (intensified)

Originally, the imperial guards who arrested Freya at that time planned to send this ignorant bastard girl to meet the general in person, but they didn't know that Yan Baying happened to be negotiating business with those businessmen.

When the door was closed and inside the office, the screams of countless businessmen who were terrified to the extreme suddenly sounded, and Her Royal Highness Princess Freya, who was tied outside the door, was also frightened and her legs trembled.

No one knew what was going on in this office, and no one knew what those screaming people were going through.

Freya only felt fear, more and more fear.

She became more and more frightened, terribly frightened, she didn't want to see that man, she didn't want to get close to that man, she just wanted to escape now, desperately fleeing from this place.
