Master of Thermodynamics
Chapter 523: Righteousness
After hearing the phrase "no bargaining", the expressions of all the nobles present showed subtle changes, but no one stood up to refute, everyone stood quietly in place, waiting for Renault's "instruction".
Before this big victory, someone will definitely disagree, the majesty under the crown is awesome, but not enough to make the nobles succumb.
What about under the crown?
No matter how strong you are, you have to make sense, right?
If you are unwilling to pay "protection fees", can you still grab it?
However, at this moment, everything is different.
At this critical moment of survival, whoever has the ability to turn the tide will naturally have the status of "righteousness".
The master has done a black job, and none of you can fight, you are all scum, in that case, you should obey the command honestly, otherwise, it will be a hindrance to the "anti-black industry" of mankind, that is, "people". evil".
This is the "great righteousness" of mankind.
For example, when Prince El Fallon directed "The Flooded Thunder Cloud Castle", he gained justice. When the Prince used the force of righteousness to force the Duke of Byron to deal with Renault, the Duke of Byron was forced to succumb.
This is the power of righteousness.
Whoever masters it has the greatest right to speak.
Feng Shui turns, and now it is Renault's turn to persecute others by righteousness.
Even if some nobles were upset, no one dared to show it openly, at most they would only secretly engage in conspiracy and trickery.
Take another chestnut. At the beginning, Renault was stunned. When planning to kill the prince, he was careful not to show any horse's feet. This is the reason.
In the same way, if anyone wants to deal with Renault, the only way is to assassinate.
But the question is, is there such a good killer under a powerful crown?
Are you sure you are here to die?
At this moment, Renault has not only the "prestige" under the crown, but also the "power" of righteousness. The former is similar to domineering, while the latter is close to domineering. Who can handle the domineering spirit?
This is his confidence in "not accepting bargaining".
Renault glanced at the group of nobles in front of him, and slowly said:
"Everyone, I think you should have seen the heads of those black bastards."
A group of nobles nodded one after another. When many people thought of the shocking picture, their faces became a little whiter, and the awe in their eyes became stronger.
"Very good!" Renault smiled slightly and continued, "Gentlemen, I think everyone understands that there must be a corresponding price behind any victory."
"In fact, although the Rose Legion almost wiped out this black orc army, our losses were very heavy..."
Suddenly he sat upright and raised three fingers:
"According to current statistics, at least 3,000 soldiers will never be able to return to the battlefield. Therefore, my first request is to replenish troops. In addition, courage and sacrifice should be rewarded..."
At this time, one of the nobles headed, the eldest son of Duke Byron, Carrick, couldn't help but interject:
"Under the crown, your request is very reasonable. We will replenish 4000 soldiers for the Rose Legion as soon as possible. Each soldier will receive 20 silver nars. Soldiers who die or become disabled will receive 2 kinnals. pension……"
Renault frowned and interrupted Carrick loudly:
"The reward must be increased to 50 silver nars, and the pension cannot be lower than 5 kinnars!"
"Under the crown..." Carrick's face suddenly showed embarrassment.
If according to this standard, the expenditure will exceed 40,000 kinnals, which will be spread evenly on the heads of every nobleman, and each person will have to bear nearly 200 kinnals, which is enough to make many people painful.
"I have already said that I don't accept bargaining!" Renault said in a deep voice.
Carrick's eyes flickered a few times, but he finally succumbed:
"Under the crown, your request will be met."
Renault nodded and said the second condition:
"I think the reason why the Rose Legion has so many casualties is because the long-range firepower is severely insufficient, so the Legion needs to purchase a batch of new powerful crossbows."
"This kind of crossbow has a range of up to 200 meters and is very powerful. I plan to purchase 5,000 crossbows. The unit price is 6 kinnals, and the budget is about 30,000 kinnals..."
Carrick couldn't help but feel helpless.
As soon as he heard the words "new-style crossbow", he used his **** to know that this was absolutely equipment produced by the Haichao Chamber of Commerce, and this subordinate was planning to paddle Rakinal in his pocket again.
The average crossbow is only 1-2 kinnals, and the unit price of the new-style crossbow is as high as 6 kinnals. Under the title, your method of black money is a little too outrageous, right?
However, no one dared to say anything about this kind of robbery with open flames.
This subordinate fought a big victory. What does "corruption" count for military expenditure? Ordinary soldiers have rewards, and of course the commander-in-chief is indispensable.
Therefore, this is just the reward that I deserve.
Even if the price is doubled to 60,000 Kinnars, who can refuse?
As for the "serious casualties" argument, it made everyone secretly pouting.
Fuck, the Rose Legion killed more than 20,000 black orcs, and its own casualties were only more than 3,000, and the exchange ratio was as high as 1:7. How can this cause heavy casualties?
In previous wars, humans often killed 3-4 soldiers, and the black **** only killed 1 soldier. What kind of casualties should this be called?
Another nobleman named Earl Weaver looked at Carrick, then he smiled and leaned, and said readily:
"Under the crown, there is no problem with the military expenditure of 50,000 Kinnars. In addition, the achievements of the Armored Corps are really amazing. For this reason, we have specially prepared 20,000 Kinnars to thank them for their efforts..."
Obviously, these 20,000 Kinnars are the rewards prepared by the nobles for Renault. The reward for him alone is almost twice the sum of the rewards for all the soldiers of the Rose Legion.
I have to say that the nobles in other worlds are really sensible.
Renault smiled with satisfaction, and said unceremoniously:
"Very well, I hope you will send in military expenses as soon as possible."
"Of course." Carrick breathed a sigh of relief. "Under the crown, you will see this military expenditure within three days at most."
The first fee of 50,000 Kinnars will definitely not be in arrears. The nobles have the courage to use their brains on the pension, and there is no foolish fool who dares to stretch out their paws at the "cake" under the crown.
"My last condition..."
Renault twisted his body on the recliner and said:
"It's the title and territory!"
As soon as this remark came out, the cabin suddenly became quiet.
After a few breaths, Earl Weaver smiled strongly:
"Your Majesty, you should know that any matters related to knighthood are determined by His Majesty the King and the House of Elders. We have no right to speak."
This is an excuse!
The real reason is just because Renault's strength is too terrible.
He is a foreign nobleman. As long as he has not obtained the territory, once the war is over, he will have to withdraw from the kingdom sooner or later. The threat to the nobles is not great, and it will be different after obtaining the territory.
This means that everyone will live in the shadow of this crown.
Therefore, the nobles of the Thousand Lakes Kingdom would rather take out a large sum of Kinnar to send him away than see such a terrifying "hungry wolf" breaking into the fragile "herd".
Seeing the tense faces of the nobles, Renault suddenly laughed, and he said leisurely:
"Everyone, please rest assured, I have no intention of expanding my territory to the Thousand Lake Kingdom."
Having said that, he quietly added a "temporary" in his heart.
Renault had already made a plan. As long as his strength grew to a certain level, he would crush the entire Glory Continent with his strength. Before that, premature intervention in the Qianhu Kingdom would only arouse huge opposition.
"What I said was the title and title of Miss Allietty..."
He paused intentionally and said solemnly:
"I hope she can inherit the title of Duke Castro!"
"I'm just an outsider and cannot promote this matter. I need you to join forces to help Miss Alietti get the knighthood."
This is the real purpose of Renault, that is, to extend his own magic claws into the Kingdom of Thousand Lakes through Miss Alietti.
