Reborn as Hokage, I am actually a god

Chapter 309 The anger of the nobles



After a large number of priests came to the Kingdom of Stormwind, causing a series of reactions, the peasant association established by the temple deeply aroused the dissatisfaction of the nobles in the kingdom.

When will those filthy untouchables be able to live a life like their nobles? Although the establishment of the peasant association has also brought considerable benefits to the nobles, when looking at the territory, the group of untouchables, one by one When life began to become more prosperous, the desires of the nobles expanded again.

One by one, they began to find various excuses and reasons to impose various taxes on the people in the territory, such as clothing tax, head tax, even tax on opening a window or peeing, all kinds of despicable things. The frequent use of such tactics has made ordinary people who thought their lives were getting better and better miserable.

After the Holy Church learned about this, it did not get used to these nobles. For the nobles who collected taxes normally, the clergy could ignore them, but for those nobles who dared to collect taxes randomly from the common people, how much tax would they usually get? The officers and priests drove away as many as they could, which made some nobles furious. The next day, they led their soldiers and began to drive away the territory where the temple was located.

However, when they and their soldiers wanted to use force, they discovered that it was easy to ask the gods but difficult to send them away. Facing the exaggerated force of the priests, the soldiers of the noble gentlemen became completely defeated in almost a face-to-face encounter, even if The nobles who had the ability to invite magicians would, at most, struggle for a few rounds before dying under the hands of the priests. They were so frightened that no nobles dared to take a breath.

Even some nobles who ran slowly were imprisoned by the priests in public, and were paraded among the people, telling the local people not to be afraid, the church has the ability to protect the interests and rights of the people, as long as they are of the same mind as the church , the nobles are just paper tigers, not scary at all.

When the people looked at the usually aloof nobles being locked up by the priests like prisoners, and being watched like clowns on the street for many people to watch, hidden excitement flashed in everyone's eyes, although it was still not enough. Dare to make any excessive moves, but each of them is no longer as fearful as before, feeling that the nobles are unattainable, especially after the priests spare no effort in publicity, telling them that the nobles are the same people, and there is nothing wrong with them. amazing.

The people suddenly realized that in this land, what the nobles said might not work, but what the new priests said would definitely work. Didn't you see how the priests slaughtered the soldiers under the lord's command? It's as simple as chopping melons and vegetables, especially those priests who are usually aloof and superior, but they can't survive a few tricks at the hands of the pastor.

At this time, the Storm Palace was different from its previous calm and majestic appearance. Countless nobles gathered in the palace, their faces filled with indignation.

"This is a disgrace. This group of new heretics have trampled the thousand-year glory of our nobles into nothing. Your Majesty the King, I request that an order be issued immediately to drive out this group of heretics," a nobleman in rich clothes echoed loudly in the main hall.

Ryan, who was sitting high on the throne, had a headache. He didn't expect the reaction of the nobles to be so great. When he knew about the conflict between the nobles and the church, he knew that the matter was serious. He was still thinking about how to get rid of the nobles. His men kept this group of hard-earned priests, but he didn't expect that the ones who suffered were not the priests of the church, but the nobles of the kingdom. This made him slightly surprised.

At this time, he was really in a dilemma. What the nobles did was indeed shameful, but the Holy Church's counterattack was too strong. This time, the number of soldiers lost by the nobles alone was no less than 10,000, including several For the powerful mage in the palace, you need to know that the total regular military strength of the entire Stormwind Kingdom is only more than 100,000. If ten of them are lost at once, it can be said that the internal strife of the Stormwind Kingdom is not small.

Seeing his friend's frowning face, Lothar quietly approached him and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you go and invite Liqi to come over? After all, both sides are at fault in this matter."

After listening to his friend's words, Ryan couldn't think of any good way, so he nodded in agreement.

Under the quick command of the soldiers, Leach was brought over in a short while with the church branch established not far from the palace.

The big nobles who were still talking about each other saw Leach in golden armor and looked at him with cannibalistic eyes. This time it can be said that all the nobles of Stormwind Kingdom have suffered the greatest humiliation in history. After all, those The nobleman who was exhibited like a monkey had few relatives.

"Your Majesty Ryan!" Leach ignored the nobles' cannibalistic eyes and calmly bowed slightly to Ryan on the throne.

"Master Liqi, I don't know what you think about the attack on the noble army by the priests under the temple." Ryan straightened his expression and his face became serious. As a king, he sometimes has to stand in the position of the nobles. Speaking, after all, he, the king, needs the support of the nobles to rule the kingdom. Even if he knows that the nobles are acting excessively, he has to do so. Otherwise, once the kingdom encounters a war and the nobles treat it negatively, it will be a sign of ruin. .

In Azeroth, the king is only the largest noble. Once the kingdom encounters conscription, it must summon troops from the lords below. If the nobles are collectively dissatisfied with the king, they can find various reasons. decline. But few nobles do this. After all, their interests are consistent with the kingdom. Once the kingdom is destroyed, the status of the nobles is gone.

A contemptuous smile appeared on Leach's lips, "Your Majesty, all this is caused by the nobles. The Peasants' Association was established by the Holy Church, so the excess output naturally belongs to the Holy Church. Since the nobles do not follow the Kingdom If the law wants to forcibly take away the interests of the church, then the church naturally has the right to protect its own interests. "

"You bastard, you are using strong words. Those untouchable nobles' fields are not for breeding. How can you say that this is the benefit of the Holy Church?" A nobleman shouted angrily.

"Oh, let's put it this way, as long as the common people don't farm the nobles' fields, then the nobles can't control the common people." Li Qi asked calmly.

"Hmph! The entire territory is the fiefdom of the nobles. Why do those untouchables say they have their own land?" the nobleman replied disdainfully.

"Then why do the nobles own these lands?" A cold look flashed across Leach's face.

"That's because our ancestors have pioneered it generation after generation. Otherwise, why would those untouchables be able to live peacefully and farm in safe areas as they do now." The nobles raised their heads proudly, and other nobles rushed to agree.

"Hmph! You said it was opened by your ancestors. Could it be that your ancestors killed all the monsters in the wilderness with a sword and built the city brick by brick! I just don't know what it means." Leach's eyes It was like a sharp sword piercing the noble who spoke.

"Asshole...bastard, you are simply trampling on the honor of the nobles and using strong words." The nobles blushed with anger, pointed at Leach with his finger and cursed.

A slight smile flashed in Li Qi's eyes, "This is the truth of the matter. Your ancestors didn't build a city-state based on the untouchables you call them. Otherwise, what do you think you rely on to dominate and prosper?" , is it your noble bloodline! Stop coming here to make fun of me. The people don’t owe you anything, but you are nothing if you leave them.”

"Bastards! Heretics! Kill them."

The nobles in the hall roared one after another. If this definition is really followed, the glory and truth of the nobles will be destroyed.

Ryan and Lothar on the high platform listened with their eyes widened. Although they were able to fully understand this logic with their intelligence, they could not help but feel a chill when they heard it.

"That's enough! This is a kingdom, not a vegetable market, how can it be decent? Do you still have noble etiquette?" Ryan suddenly slapped the throne and shouted loudly.

In an instant, the hall felt like it was about to drop, but the nobles still looked at Leach with a ferocious look on his face.
