Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 75

After an unknown amount of time, there was a chaotic noise outside the door. The noise became louder and louder, so loud that the people sitting in the castle had to be distracted.

Who the hell bothered me to think about life!Stannis just wanted to reprimand, but the castle gate was kicked open.

Before Stannis could scream, a group of well-armed and well-equipped soldiers walked in without any scruples.

The leader seemed to be the commander of the group. He held the helmet in his hand, revealing his half-bald head. The burqa worn outside the armor was printed with the pattern of a two-headed eagle.

The ferocious expression on the half-bald commander's face looked very angry, "Who is the lord of this territory, even the imperial army refuses to see him! Are you looking for death!"

His voice echoed down the hall, sullen.

As soon as Stannis heard it, he knew that the big thing was not good. He wanted to assign someone to take the lead, but found that he was sitting on the lord's throne. The soldiers followed closely.

The lord on the seat was so frightened that he even forgot to run away.

Finally, the group stopped less than two meters away from him.

"You're Stannis!" snapped the commander.

"Yeah." Stannis was terrified.

At this time, Bachelor Romon and Korodolf chased in, but they didn't dare to interrupt the imperial officer's questioning. They were desperate at the door just now and didn't stop this group of people from breaking into the castle. It seems that these guys are not good at coming. , but in fact the imperial army has always had this attitude when facing these small lords.

The officer clamped the helmet in the other direction and said, "I am Lieutenant Vladi of the [-]rd Battalion of the Imperial Eastern Expedition Army stationed here. Major Shalaqi sent me to find out why you refused to pay taxes."

what!Just a little lieutenant dares to show off his power like this, and he is a majestic hereditary earl!

Stannis, who had reacted, was about to have a fit, but saw Maester Romon waving his hand at him, signaling him not to die.

"Is there... is there a problem?" Stannis forced a smile.

"As the lord of the empire, why didn't you fulfill your tax obligations!"

Vladimir's voice echoed throughout the hall.

Against the background of the other party's aura, Stannis whispered in a mosquito-like voice: "I thought I had figured it out with your tax official at the time. According to the promulgated code, I finally figured out that you actually overcharged me. It should be return……"

"Shut up!" the lieutenant interrupted him in a loud, extremely rude voice.

Are all imperial troops so overbearing?

"You can't be so unreasonable!" Stannis mustered up his courage and said, "Who is your chief, I want to complain to that Major Sharaki!"

Lieutenant Vladi obviously didn't like this, he put his hand on the hilt of his sword angrily and shouted even louder, "Okay, you asked to see our officer, and I have the same intention, because I received the order from the major It is to take you back for interrogation!"

Depend on!Stannis was just talking casually, but he didn't expect the other party to be so determined!It’s enough for me, every time I want to dive into the main task and build up the strength of the territory, there will be countless troubles coming to the door one by one, forcing myself to take these useless and deadly branch lines, and force them to open, no Can't finish.

Thinking of this, he made up his mind not to go to see any major with the guy in front of him, he raised his head and said in an earl's tone, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lieutenant, I have already figured out the tax issues very clearly. If you have any questions, call You major, bring someone who understands finances, and before that, I will stay in the territory and not go anywhere, so I will not do it!"

Stannis took a rare moment of hardening, which made his two subordinates admire him, but they also knew that the lord was in trouble, because the Empire was never soft on those who violated its will.

Sure enough, Lieutenant Vlady didn't listen to his words at all. He became even more angry, as if he wanted to punch Stannis, "I don't care about any messy calculations! I only know that you didn't pay taxes to the Empire! And refused to pay taxes to the Empire. There is only one end to paying taxes!"

After speaking, he and the soldiers behind him pulled out their long swords at the same time, and the reflected sword light gathered in front of the lord's eyes.

"Move... for real!!?"

Stannis felt his eyes go blank and passed out.

Stannis woke up with a start, and he found himself in a small dark room.

There was no light, and he didn't even know where he was.

The first thing he did when he woke up, he immediately touched his pants with his hands. Fortunately, the waistband tied the pants around his waist. It seemed that no one took off his pants while he was unconscious. He didn't want to be ignorant. lose their virginity.

Now that the worst didn't happen, Stannis could sit down and try to figure out what had happened.

Just now a group of guys who claimed to be soldiers of the empire rushed in and asked him for money even if they disagreed.

Finally he came to a conclusion: Is he dead?

But he didn't cry or curse at injustice, because if this is heaven or hell, wouldn't it be too dark?

He tried his best to maintain peace of mind, and heard someone's voice coming from the next door. It seemed that the underworld also communicated in words.

The lord stood up slowly and walked towards the edge of the small black room. It seemed that the room was very narrow, and he hit his head on the ceiling just by standing up a little bit. Although it was painful, he was sure that the room was made of wood.

Heaven and hell should not use this material plane material to build houses, that is to say, I am not dead, I am still in the world!
A joy of being saved from a desperate situation enveloped his whole body, but the rustling sound from next to the stencil disturbed him, as if someone was whispering incessantly.

He tentatively called out, "Is anyone there?"

The rustling next to him grew louder, as if someone was talking urgently.

Stannis put his ear to it, trying to hear what the man was saying.

"Another new guy?" an old voice repeated.

"Well, are you also the lord who was arrested because of tax arrears?" Stannis asked in a low voice.

After a long silence, the old man seemed to be reminiscing about the past, and then sighed, "Yes, I was arrested 30 years ago because I owed a month of taxes."

What's fuck!The traverser was so frightened that his legs went limp. He didn't expect that the consequences of not paying taxes would be so serious. He was only in arrears of taxes for a month, and he was going to be imprisoned to death. The laws of the empire are too outrageous.
