CHAPTER VIII I, the King, Who Dissent?
As the last royal guard soldier was taken down, the entire hall suddenly became silent, and everyone turned their eyes to Gray standing on it.
"Why are you doing so serious? Relaxation is a small problem. Believe me, everyone will not have any trouble. On the contrary, everyone will return with a full load!" Gray said with a smile without caring about the blood in the hall.
"Grey, what do you want to do?" The king's face looked ugly. He didn't expect that he had given him enough compensation, so why was he not satisfied? Is human nature so greedy that he will never be satisfied?
"Have you forgotten by His Majesty the King? I said that as a noble, keeping trust is our basic principle. I am helping His Majesty preserve the last bit of the honor the king deserves. You should thank me!" Gray said seriously, as if he was really a good comrade who was willing to help others for the sake of others.
"Felia was captured by the evil dragon for ten years, and it is normal for her to feel a little sensitive inside. However, as a father, I will not let her do anything recklessly. I decided that your wedding date will be the day after tomorrow, okay?"
Although he wanted to remove Gray from a big piece, considering the blade on his neck and his unconscious wife and daughter, His Majesty the King tried his best to make his tone appear gentle.
"No, although Your Highness the Princess is very beautiful, after all, it is not sweet to make me feel forced. I have always respected everyone's free will and advocated freedom of marriage. Your Majesty the King will not have to force others to do anything. Let Your Highness choose the person you like. As for me, Your Majesty will compensate me for the rewards I originally wanted to give me, and I am satisfied. I am not greedy!"
Grey smiled gently, looking like I was easy to talk and satisfied. Anyone who saw this smile would think from the bottom of his heart that he was a sunny big brother next door, especially kind and approachable.
His Majesty the King used to think so, but now he plans to spit on himself before and kick him hard. He has lived to the dog's stomach for decades.
"Then I will give you the Marquis of Rocai City, what do you think?" His Majesty the King said carefully.
Gray shook his head. If the other party gave a city from the beginning, he might have agreed. After all, the Marquis is already the highest nobleman in the kingdom except for the king, and he doesn't have to marry that noble princess.
But who made the king so stingy at the beginning that he was only willing to send him off for two small towns? He had no choice but to defend his legitimate rights and interests by himself.
You should know that the two small towns and the attached village can produce at most tens of thousands of people, and they can produce about 500 gold coins every year. Compared with a city containing five or six small towns, it is much worse.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, it is enough to be glorious from the viscount to the earl, but Gray doesn't feel that he is fighting to the death for the king's throne promised by the king. Compared with the earl, the distance between the viscount and the earl is much different.
Gray rationally analyzed that the gap between expectations and reality is too big, which is the direct cause of this tragedy.
When things have developed to this point, it is meaningless for the king to give the position of marquis. Everyone has broken up and hopes to live in peace in the future?
Gray knew very well that as long as he accepted the Marquis of Rocai City now, before he could arrive in Rocai City, the six-city coalition would teach him step by step what it means to make dumplings and the kind that can be made in the church.
How many people are there in a city?
Grey's Viscount Corps is a small village with a population of about one thousand and a number of soldiers and armors of about forty. There are five or six villages in a town, and five or six towns in a city. And those cities that belong to the king also have at least seven towns.
Of course, this is not a simple superposition, but even so, a city will have at least no less than one thousand soldiers, such as the royal capital, the royal guards of 500, the royal capital guards of 1,500, which is directly two thousand, and there are more than a dozen small towns and villages around the city.
Even if it is not completely drawn, it will be a huge number. Even if he can transform into a fire dragon and fly away, others will definitely have no chance of life.
Gray was not naive, so he could not agree. In this case, he had to go to the last step.
Seeing that the king was not giving up, Gray had to do it himself. After all, he couldn't speak too clearly, which would make others feel low IQ and a little hurtful. He was not the kind of person who ignored other people's feelings.
So Gray shook his head slightly and stretched out his hand!
Everyone was nervous, some were afraid, and they felt that Gray was finally going to attack the king, the country was going to change, and some were excited. Gray was finally going to attack, and their time was coming.
The old king looked at Gray's hand and grabbed him. For a moment, there was a hint of peace besides fear. "Gray, please let Philea and the Queen go. They can't do anything to you. You are a strong man and shouldn't bully women!"
"What else do you say? Don't talk so much nonsense!" Gray looked puzzled and took the crown from the king's head, wiped it with his sleeve and put it on his head. He turned to look at the nobles present, "I, your king, who has any objection?"
"King!" All the men belonging to Gray clenched their right fists and placed them on their chests, knelt on one knee, and shouted loudly in excitement.
Several of the other nobles knelt down, but most of them were still looking at each other, not knowing whether they should kneel down.
Gray sneered in his heart. These people didn't know whether they should kneel down, because they didn't attack them. They would know whether they should kneel down later.
I raised my hand and was about to give these people some memory, oh no, give them some precious life experience.
At this time, the old king who became the decoration moved.
The old king slowly grew up and moved a step aside. Just when Gray thought he was about to escape and was about to take action, the old king clenched his fist in front of his chest, slowly bent his knees, his dry lips stammered, and he spit out a dry and clear word, "My king!"
After doing this action, the old king reached out to the throne and made a gesture of inviting him.
Gray glanced at the old king deeply and strode to the throne to sit down.
The old king did not stand up, but continued, "My king, I offer my loyalty to you. I swear with the sword in my hand that I will guard my king's honor and defend my king's rights!"
The nobles looked at each other, whether they wanted to or not, even the old king surrendered. What qualifications do they have to sing against Gray?
All the nobles bowed and bowed one after another, acknowledging Grey as their king and sworn allegiance.
"I swear with the sword in my hand that whoever is loyal to me will be connected with me, his family, rights, and property will be protected, and no one shall invade without reason!"
After the simple oath was finished, Gray nodded and asked them all to get up.
Regardless of whether you really believe it or not, he only needs your attitude and what is going on in the future will be easy to say.
Scan the people lightly, Gray looked at the soldiers surrounding the nobles, "Princess Philea is weak and the ground is very cold. Go and help her up!"
The two soldiers responded and walked over quickly to help her up, but the other party was still in a coma, and they didn't know where to put it?
Gray shook his head and pointed to the queen's fainting throne. The throne was quite wide. Although it was a bit crowded to let go of the two people, it was still possible to let go.
"Everyone is a nobleman, with noble qualities and noble glory. I believe that you are sure to swear allegiance to me. I hope that everyone can defend their glory and not be tainted by despicable behavior. Anyone who violates his oath will surely destroy his home, take away his wealth, and demote his family to slaves, and his descendants will not be free!"
A warning may not be of much effect, but it is necessary. Gray did not intend to rely on this area to restrain anyone. His biggest reliance was the gun and sword in his hand. As long as he could still take on weapons, those who dared to betray would definitely end up even worse than he said.
"We will show our loyalty to His Majesty the King and will never betray again!"
"I believe in your qualities, but when His Majesty the King passes the throne to me, some sluts will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble. The kingdom needs everyone's strength to maintain stability together, so I hope everyone can manage their respective territories."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will follow His Majesty's orders and maintain the stability of our territory. There will be no trouble!"
Many people were a little shocked. They thought that Gray ascended the throne with such improper means would hit them to show their authority or take some measures to consolidate the throne. They confirmed this matter first, but they did not expect that he would let them go back at this time.
