Chapter 143: Conflict! The army besieged the city!

“Master Hawk, it’s not good. A large number of troops surrounded our territory and prevented our caravan from going out. Although other noble caravans were released, they can’t come in anymore!”

In Sir Hawke’s castle, a man came to report.

As a Viscount, Sir Hawke’s status in the Xi Ling Kingdom was not low.

Moreover, Sir Hawke only had one daughter. This daughter eloped with the patriarch of the Wings. At that time, there were a lot of rumors in the Xi Ling Kingdom. Otherwise, even Teacher Martha would not have heard of him.

His territory was not small. There were tens of thousands of mu of land. It was a roughly rectangular territory with a length of more than ten kilometers and a width of about 4 kilometers. One side of the territory was right next to the misty mountains.

He was now in his sixties because he participated in the wars organized by the church against other kingdoms when he was young, and he has lost that ability.

Therefore, the only offspring of Sir Hawke now and in the future was only the granddaughter of the winged maiden Mia.

Sir Hawke originally planned to leave the territory to Mia after his death.

He also listened more to Mia’s suggestions. In fact, under Mia’s persuasion, he and the people in his territory had become the first believers of the Lord of Flame in the Xi Ling Kingdom!

On his territory, 20,000 to 30,000 people were living Toit.

Sir Hawke also had a private army of 500 people, and Sir Hawke could expand the private army to about 2,000 if he wanted to.

But it was completely incompatible with the old nobles like the Slow family.

At this time, three thousand well-equipped and heavily armed soldiers surrounded Sir Hawke’s territory.

The main roads were heavily blocked, and these people only let other noble caravans out, but they wanted to get in but they had no way.

As for Sir Hawke’s caravan, it was directly blocked.

The people of Sir Hawke’s territory could go in freely, but they had to be searched to avoid carrying magic bags!

“Blocked? Who did it? Call the army and go out with me!”

Sir Hawke was not a sick cat.

He immediately summoned his private army of 500 people, and hurriedly came to the gate of the largest road in the territory.

This road was also the way that Sir Hawke’s caravan could get in and out.

At this time, more than two thousand soldiers were standing on the road outside. These soldiers wore uniform costumes and were all armored. They had swordsmen, pikemen, and archers. Although the number was small, they were quite complete.

Sir Hawke even saw a magister in it.

There was no doubt that he was a good soldier.

Rather than a miscellaneous army.

Ordinary nobles couldn’t be equipped with this elite soldier whose quality was comparable to the Royal Army.

Then Sir Hawke saw the uniform pattern on the collars of the soldiers.

“Man of Count Slow!”

Sir Hawke’s face sank.

Whether it was power or strength, he was far from being compared with Earl Slow.

Lord Slow, who was the big boss in the eastern region.

Big boss!

Even the Royal Family was extremely jealous of the Slow family!

Nevertheless, Sir Hawke was not afraid. He stepped forward and asked, “Who is in charge?”

“I, I’m the administrative officer under Lord Slow, Lord Hawke. The origin of your sacred beans is unknown. You are not allowed to sell them in the eastern region!”

The Slow family was humane.

This guy was wearing a blue robe, is the blue-robed administrative officer of the Slow family, and his position was not low.

“The origin is unknown? When will the goods start to be checked? As the Viscount of the Kingdom, I, Hawke, will steal it?”

Hooke Jue soil snorted softly.

Lanpao’s government affairs should say: “Sir Hawke, of course, you will not steal it, but Sir Hawke, you are selling these unidentified Divine beans at very low prices. You have been suspected of unfair competition. No crops will reach this price and you sell at such a low price.”

Sir Hawke’s temper came up on the spot and looked at the blue-robed administrative officer and said: “So, does Earl Slow still have the law enforcement power in the eastern region? Who gave him the right!”

Facing Sir Hawke’s angry questioning, the blue-robed administrative officer lightly took out a document, handed it to Sir Hawke’s eyes, and said, “It’s the church!”

“Church!”

Sir Hawke narrowed his eyes and took out the document, only to see that the document was signed by the bishop of the Eastern region.

The general idea was as follows: To ensure the stability of food prices in the Eastern region, Earl Slow is granted temporary enforcement powers on crops. This enforcement power lasts only one month!

The church didn’t often intervene in government affairs, otherwise, it would conflict with the kingship.

But about food and crops related to the people’s livelihood, the church had this right again, because the church must ensure the stability of the society, and food was the most important thing. If someone couldn’t eat enough, someone would not be far away from the chaos!

A kingdom where chaos was born couldn’t contribute too much faith.

Sir Hawke noticed the date this document was issued, which was yesterday!

In Sir Hawke’s heart, there was a hint of alertness immediately!

This was for him!

In other words, it was for potatoes!

Furthermore, it was for the Orc Kingdom east of the mist!

To avoid conflicts with kingship, the church would not sign a document like this for ten years.

But then, it appeared!

“Sure enough, it’s coming! Mia is accurate!”

The reason Huoke Juetu could react so quickly was that he was not stupid, and the other was because Mia mentioned it to him, which made him alert in this regard!

“Hmph, you are afraid that the sacred beans will threaten your food business, I will write to the king to accuse you of your behavior!”

Sir Hawke, after reading the documents, angrily dropped such a sentence and returned to his castle with 500 private soldiers.

“Master Oliver, is this master’s trick very good?”

Behind the Slow family warrior, the old butler said to Magister Oliver.

Oliver nodded and said, “Uncle Bowman is good. Bishop Bowman wants to use us as swordsmen, so his uncle will also pull Bishop Bowman into the water!”

The old butler “haha” smiled and said: “Not only that, but when dealing with these old nobles, you can use this method, both soft and hard. You see, this old Hawk is still being played in the palm of his hand. The Xi Ling Kingdom is very big, sir. The territory is also very large, Lord Oliver, although the master has several sons, the master intends to leave the inheritance right to you…”

Hearing the words of the old butler, Oliver’s breathing could not help but be a little heavier.

Even if he was a sixth-ranked magister, he faced an amazing wealth and immense power of the Slow family, he couldn’t help but feel a little moved.

“I will sit here and see what tricks the other side will do.”

Oliver said.

The old butler nodded and left there, he wanted to report the situation there to the old earl!

“The Slow family came here badly!”

After returning to the territory, Lord Hawke, who was still angry at the moment, had no anger on his face.

The nobles of the Xi Ling Kingdom were all master actors. At the first moment, the two of them were still angry, and the next moment they were able to talk to each other.

Well, this was the nobleman.

Lord Hawke was no exception, but his acting skills used this time with ideas. He succeeded in making the Slow Family contempt him. These guys probably did not expect that he had become a believer in the Lord of Flame, and he was also a Lord of the Flame. The grandpa of the saint.

“First send someone to report on the situation here!”

Sir Hawke wrote a letter to a winged warrior resident in his territory, and let this winged warrior be brought back to the City of Miracles!
