Fantasy Lords: Starting with the Pioneer Knight.

Chapter 316 The Destruction of the Spencer Family
Although Marquis Engel could not understand the Spencer family's brain-twitching behavior, he did not intend to pay attention to it. One million gold coins and a high-level life potion were not a joke.

He even slowed down further plans for the Spencer family.

Since the other party wanted to seek death, he had no intention of helping him.

"Michael, where are the earls in the eastern and northern parts of Frostmoon Province?"

Taking a deep breath, Marquis Engel looked at Michael again and spoke in a deep voice.

"My lord, Count Christine in the east has decided to sell two small towns, including Qiuye Town, to us. We only need to pay one hundred thousand gold coins. As for Count Abibra and Count Vega in the north, They also have the intention to sell, but they have a condition.”

Michael pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"condition?"

Marquis Engel frowned slightly.

"Yes, they only have one condition. They don't need gold coins, but they require our Dressrosa family to provide them with a certain degree of protection in the next three years to ensure that their territory can be passed on smoothly."

At first it was just a test.

The leader is a young man.

From the very beginning, only goods were robbed, but gradually people were also eliminated.

As Marquis Engel's declaration came out, the entire Xiyue Province suddenly became commotion.

There were many people who had ideas about Tordressrosa before, but in the end, few dared to take action.

Suddenly the entire Spencer family was a little worried.

The first was the Spencer family. The caravans going out began to be attacked frequently.

In Spencer's huge castle.

The risks they face when taking action are almost non-existent, and they can even please the rising star of the Tulip Kingdom by doing so.

The Spencer family has been inherited for more than 800 years, and it has taken more than 400 years to become a powerful marquis. During such a long time, there is absolutely no doubt about the wealth owned by the Spencer family.

All of a sudden, these nobles could no longer hold themselves back.

This declaration may not be of much use in ordinary times.

But at this moment, the Spencer family has become the biggest pie in the eyes of all families.

And unlike the Tordressrosa family, the Spencer family is in almost no danger at the moment.

Marquis Engel's eyes were filled with cold light and he spoke slowly.

After hearing Michael's explanation, Marquis Engel's frown immediately subsided.

Michael nodded and agreed directly.

"Three years?"

It is only three years, and if it is only to protect the inheritance of their territory, this is not a big problem for the Dressrosa family at this moment.

At this moment, the Spencer family is far inferior to some powerful earl families, not to mention the powerful marquis family.

Start dealing with these things quickly.

"That's fine!"

Figures gathered one after another, and anxiety could not help but spread on their faces.

Even the Earth Knights sent out may not come back.

And what makes them even more panicked is that they seem to be unable to solve it at all. They do still have several earth knights, but facing the huge marquis territory, they can't take care of them at all.

And like the Spencers, these families are eager to fill their shortfalls.

In particular, many nobles in Xiyue Province felt a flutter in their hearts.

But gradually, everyone discovered that the Spencer family's strength had indeed been lost.

At the same time, various resource points in Spencer began to be attacked by bandits one after another.

After all, Spencer's family is powerful enough.

Michael naturally saw the frown of Marquis Engel, nodded slightly, and then told the two earls' request.

It was not just the Spencer family, a powerful marquis family, that suffered heavy losses in the kingdom's war. A large number of marquis families and earl families also suffered heavy losses.

"As for the Spencer family, send someone to bring me a message. Our Dressrosa family strongly condemns the Spencer family's attack on our Dressrosa heirs, and they must pay corresponding compensation. Since Tordressrosa was not harmed, let’s set it at 200,000 gold coins!”

Instead, he told all the nobles that the Spencer family had a deadly feud with their Dressrosa family this time.

"Yes!"

Margrave Engel declared that the most important issue is not compensation.

"Michael, you should do this yourself!"

But at this moment, the significance of this publicity is extremely huge.

And with throbbing, it is undoubtedly action.

Then his figure retreated.

The entire Spencer family, the old Marquis was wiped out in the Kingdom War, and the new Marquis who succeeded him was killed in the attack on Tordressrosa. Along with the Spencer family, not only the last Sky Knight They all fell into it, and there were still a lot of elite forces.

In addition, there are more than a dozen old people in their eighties or nineties.

These are the current core members of the Spencer family.

With the last Marquis of Spencer taking away the elite forces in a wave, the Spencer family could only choose the taller ones from the short ones, and singled out some members of the Spencer family who had already been eliminated.

But even so.

Today, the number of earth knights in the Spencer family is only less than five.

There were eight Earth Knights before.

Can be accompanied by attacks everywhere.

They had to dispatch some earth knights.

But these people were dispatched and disappeared silently within a few days.

"Hasn't there been any news from the Kingdom?"

An old man spoke in a low voice, his face a bit ugly.

"no!"

After a moment of silence, another old man spoke.

"Damn it, why is it so slow this time? Didn't the last canonization ceremony of the kingdom be completed in ten days?"

The old man's ugly expression seemed to become more intense, and he couldn't help but speak again.

However, no one could answer him at this moment.

In the entire conference room, the remaining people had anxious and ugly expressions on their faces.

No one expected that the entire Spencer family would take a turn for the worse.

The Spencer family, which was originally prosperous, suffered changes one after another before its glory could begin. First, the strongest member of the Spencer family was defeated by Count Engel more than a year ago. Then, in the Kingdom War not long ago, the Spencer family completely annihilated.

Immediately afterwards, their trusted Marquis and the remaining elite members of the family were also buried.

Now the new Marquis canonization seems to be stuck again.

At this moment, those big families haven't taken action against them personally, that's because they are still the Marquis family. But if the canonization of the kingdom is delayed, the consequences will be difficult to predict.

"Tell me, did the kingdom get some news and suspend our title canonization?"

In the midst of anxiety, a voice suddenly spoke.

"impossible!"

The old man who spoke first suddenly blurted out his words again.

"Nothing is impossible. We attacked Tordressrosa. Don't forget, the Dressrosa family is now valued by the king and the three Dukes."

The deep voice spoke again.

But at this moment, even if the old man who spoke first opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say.

"Then, what should we do?"

After a long time, an old man spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Where are those people!"

"Didn't they encourage the Marquis to take action? We did as they asked. Now it's not their turn to fulfill their promise."

Suddenly, another figure spoke.

"Huh, I've said it before, those guys are unreliable. If we don't listen to them, even if our Spencer family will decline accordingly, we won't be in the current situation."

"Yes, those guys are not so easy to cooperate with."

Along with this sound, someone soon couldn't help but snort coldly.

Then someone else echoed.

"Feililun, that's not what you said before."

"Why, you didn't have any objections to my decision to cooperate with them before, but now you do."

"And you, Jahir, why didn't you bring it up before."

"Humph, I said it directly, do you listen?"

"Those guys have almost become rats in the ditch. What on earth do you think that you want to cooperate with them? Once discovered, do you know the consequences?"

"The consequences, no matter how bad the consequences are, can it be worse than the annihilation of the whole family?"

"Don't you know how many families we have offended? My uncle had nothing to do there before, but my uncle has not been able to come back. Our family will be destroyed sooner or later. If we don't cooperate with them, are we waiting for death?"

"And don't forget, when the One came, did he give us a choice? Do we have a choice?"

Voices spoke one after another, and soon the conference room fell into a quarrel.

This quarrel continues.

The middle-aged man at the head could not help but frown slightly.

"All right!"

A low shout sounded.

As the middle-aged man spoke, the entire conference room fell silent.

"Everyone, now is not the time to think about how we should deal with the next crisis."

Looking at the figures in the conference room, the middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh. At this moment, he still suppressed the irritability in his heart and spoke softly.

"Twelve, we really can only rely on them this time."

"In this way, this time I will go over to discuss with them in person."

But after his voice spoke, someone stood up and spoke softly.

As he opened his mouth, some people subconsciously wanted to object, but they opened their mouths or closed them.

After all, he couldn't think of any other way to deal with it.

"That's it, uncle, please go there in person!"

The middle-aged man rubbed his eyebrows and said softly.

"it is good!"

The figure nodded and agreed directly.

"Twelve, how should we respond to the Dressrosa family?"

After the figure responded, one person frowned and spoke.

"Hmph, how do you reply? It's because of the Dressrosa family that our Spencer family has reached this point."

"Two hundred thousand gold coins, they are dreaming, tell them this is impossible, we did not attack them, do they need to explain to us why our Lord Spencer died on the border of their Frost Moon Province?"

As some people spoke, others couldn't help but snort.

They are extremely resentful towards the Dressrosa family. Especially now that the Dressrosa family has become the Marquis family, this resentment is even more intense.

"this!"

Some people snorted coldly, while others hesitated.

After all, the power of the Spencer family has been reduced infinitely at this moment, and it is inappropriate to offend the Dressrosa family in this way.

"Feili Lun, you don't think that the Dressrosa family will just let it go if we really pay 200,000 gold coins in compensation."

"Even if we pay two hundred thousand gold coins, it won't end here."

The old man who spoke before couldn't help but snorted.

Others were also slightly silent, that was the fact.

No matter how hard they deny it, the Spencer family attacked Tordressrosa, but the fact is the fact.

Not to mention that the evidence is conclusive, even if there is no evidence, as long as they doubt each other, the relationship has been forged, and it is not something they want to let go.

In this case, people like the Spencer family didn't want to stop it at all. In their opinion, it couldn't be stopped anyway, so why not break the pot and throw it away.

Maybe by targeting the Dressrosa family in this way, they can gain support from other hostile Dressrosa families.

But obviously, they didn't think about one thing, that is, their strength is no longer what it was before.

If it were before, their actions would indeed resonate with other families. After all, the Dressrosa family has grown to this day and has offended many families. Especially now that the Dressrosa family is going to be promoted to a powerful marquis. As well as the top Marquis, the power touched is undoubtedly more.

It is easy to create hostile alliances.

But the enemy alliance is also at the same level.

And today's Spencer family is obviously unworthy.

Not only were they unworthy, the Spencer family sent out to look for that group of people, but no one was seen.

As for the previous so-called promises.

At this moment it is tantamount to farting.

And such a result undoubtedly made the Spencer family even more panicked.

When the Spencer family finally felt that something was wrong, the other nobles finally did not hold back and began to take further action.

Especially after learning that the new Marquis of the Spencer family had not yet been canonized, he no longer cared about it.
