Chapter 259 Those miners...they don't talk about martial arts!

[Hadra Tower] In the royal capital, a grand palace banquet is being held in the luxurious and exquisite palace. The nobles in gorgeous clothes hold transparent glass wine glasses and walk among the young maids and beautiful ladies. , Tasting the delicious food, the face is filled with flattering or self-satisfied smiles.

  The two protagonists of the banquet are naturally the two crown princes of [Hadrata], Harold and Hatar, surrounded by the crowd, which also makes the originally lively banquet a little more tense.

On the throne of the palace, Bazel, the monarch of the Kingdom of Hadrata, was left aside, but he didn't seem to care about the offense of the nobles, and looked at the dispute between the two princes indifferently, as if It's like watching a boring drama.

  Just as the banquet was gradually reaching its climax, the door of the hall was suddenly opened.

   It was as if a disgusting maggot was inexplicably added to the delicious food. Hearing the extremely presumptuous sound of pushing the door, all the nobles present turned their heads to the door, wanting to see who was so bold.

   It was a disheveled, unkempt middle-aged man who broke in. The exquisite clothes on his body were covered with dust and mud marks, which formed a sharp contrast with everyone in the banquet hall

  The guards guarding the door are struggling to drag him out...

   "Earl Joyce, what's the matter with you?" the eldest prince Harold walked forward quickly, and said with an unswerving expression.

  Joyce was one of his supporters. Not only did he miss the banquet today, but he also barged in with his clothes disheveled at the critical moment of the banquet, without the slightest aristocratic demeanor.

"Your Highness, the miners... those miners are crazy!" Joyce gripped Harold's cuff tightly with his dusty hands, and complained tearfully how the **** miners suddenly He broke into his territory, burned, killed, and looted, so that his castle and manor were seized by those miners.

  Listening to what Joyce said, the nobles almost laughed out loud.

  Before they saw Joyce in such a state of distress, they thought it was those vicious believers of evil gods who jumped out to make trouble again, but it turned out to be a riot of a group of miners?

   Of course, this is not to say that similar things are rare.

  In fact, it is exactly the opposite. Miner riots are common in the [Hadrata] Kingdom.

  Once these humble poor people are full and gain strength, they will start to be dissatisfied with the status quo. You must know that every miner is bought by them with money, and digging ore is their job.

However, no matter how many miners there are in this group, they are just a rabble. Usually, it only takes a few rounds of salvos from hundreds of guards holding crossbow arrows, and they will disperse, just like hordes of rats trying to provoke a fire lion. Just as ridiculous.

   "This time...this time is different!" Joyce said in a hurried tone.

   "What's the difference? Earl Joyce? Can't those miners still fly into the sky and shoot arrows at you?" Hattar asked with a sneer.

   "They not only occupied my castle, but also destroyed the church and the statue of the goddess..." Joyce said tremblingly.

The banquet hall, which was originally full of laughter and laughter, immediately became extremely quiet, and needles could be heard. In the past, it was not a case of a cowardly nobleman who was killed by rioting miners. However, it was the first time that churches and goddess statues were attacked. once.

   "How dare they!" "Crazy, just crazy!"

   "This group of damned blasphemers!" A archbishop almost fainted on the spot after hearing the news. How dare these lowly miners blaspheme the gods!

   "Are you sure they are just a group of miners?"

  A cold voice suddenly sounded, and it was Cardinal Anrioke who spoke.

The nobles gathered around Joyce immediately dispersed. The burly Anrioke in a red and gold robe walked in through the gap made by the crowd. He stood there like a towering mountain, which made people Everyone present felt a great sense of oppression.

Every earldom has at least one bishop and several priests stationed, plus thousands of soldiers guarding the castle, a group of riot miners alone is not enough to capture it, and destroying the goddess statue is not like what miners would do. matter.

   "I'm not sure, Lord Anrioke, but I only saw those miners." Joyce replied hesitantly.

Before he received news that a group of rioting miners had captured one of his baronies and killed the Baron of York. Naturally, Joyce couldn't bear it, so he summoned a thousand-man guard and personally went out to suppress the riot. !

  As a result, the **** miners don't talk about martial arts at all. They come and go like the wind, appear and disappear, poison, dig traps, and engage in internal affairs. They don't give themselves a chance to fight positively.

   His guards were led into the trap by these miners, and died under the falling rocks and the spikes in the pit.

In the end, Joyce tried his best to fight a **** road under the protection of the guards. As a result, he was about to return to the castle. When he summoned the army to fight again, he found that those shameless mine slaves were playing tricks. At that time, he had already captured his castle, so that he was almost ambushed on the way back...

  Joyce, who had lingering fears, could only run to the capital in disgrace for help, and he also found out a piece of news.

  After conquering the Baron of York, the leader, a miner named Raeder, distributed all of Baron York's money and land to the poor in the territory. He also captured the local church and killed the local pastor.

   As for the current situation in the Earl's Land, Joyce doesn't know yet, but he probably won't end well...

After Joyce eloquently explained everything, anger and a little fear surged in the hearts of all the nobles. The Grand Duke Rickman roared that he would send out an army immediately to kill those lowly miners. Nu, there are also several large mines in his territory, so naturally he will not allow such a thing to happen.

"These blasphemers will be punished and fall into eternal purgatory!" Anrioke said in a deep voice, and then turned his head to look at King Bazel, who was sitting on the throne and had not said a word until now. .

"Your Majesty Bazel, I heard that you are hesitating about making a crown prince recently. The miner uprising affecting the southeastern part of the kingdom is the best opportunity for the two princes to show their abilities and decide who will be crowned prince. How about becoming the next Crown Prince?"

  An Ruoke's words immediately won the approval of the nobles, and they echoed them repeatedly.

  King Bazel watched the voices of nobles and priests come and go, and it took him a long time to reply. "Can!"
