Lord Of The Oasis Chapter 434 - The Revelry of the Noble System

Chapter 434: The Revelry of the n.o.ble System

Just as Kant’s troops were killing the members of Crimson Sect, the news of victory quickly spread throughout the entire East County along with many spies who were secretly observing from afar.

After all, this battle was the largest scale battle since the last invasion of the Silver Platter Kingdom.

The result that everyone had expected didn’t appear.

It was very unexpected.

Because in this battle, even if the Crimson Sect had displayed absolute strength, a force that could instantly defeat regular troops, they were still defeated by Baron Kant’s troops.

Even the legendary creature couldn’t turn back the tide.

In the end, they were defeated.

And now, even the headquarters of the Crimson Sect on Mountain of Death had been captured.

A large amount of black smoke appeared on the summit of Mountain of Death. It was a building built by the Crimson Sect. After it was on fire, the thick black smoke was like columns of black smoke, rising straight into the sky in this windless weather.

Even from a few kilometers away, one could clearly see the smoke.

This was also proof.

The Crimson Sect had already been declared destroyed.

Some of the n.o.ble forces that had been secretly controlled or cooperated with this sect had already understood that Crimson Sect was once comparable to the lord and n.o.ble could now be swept into the dust.

Although they were fearful of Kant, they were more restless.

The Crimson Sect was destroyed.

However, the legacy left behind by the sect was enough to fill everyone’s stomachs.

For example, the trade caravan controlled by the Crimson Sect, the warehouses in the city, the piles of goods, and the large amounts of silver coins stored in certain places would become the fat that the n.o.ble could wantonly plunder.

Even if there were still a small number of Crimson Sect’s believers or fanatics.

So what?

This force had already been destroyed.

Even the terrifying, legendary and mythical demon had been defeated.

Ordinary people like them who could easily kill their believers with a longsword. The believers and fanatics of the sect would definitely not end up well. Without Kant’s notice, these n.o.bles would personally take action in order to cover up some shenanigans.

Sometimes, when a certain force was defeated, the first one to be pressured might not be the enemy force but the original partners!

Especially the so-called partners who worked together purely because of benefits!

These greedy n.o.ble families were originally secretly dissatisfied with the Crimson Sect’s hand reaching into the n.o.ble system. It was only because of the Crimson Sect’s strength and those crazy believers that they reluctantly tolerated it.

It was the same as pinching their noses and enduring it.

It was different now.

Since the Crimson Sect had been destroyed, no one needed to continue tolerating it.

They took back what originally belonged to them and s.n.a.t.c.hed what originally did not belong to them.

By taking advantage of a huge corpse falling down, they would wantonly plunder the oil and water on this corpse to satisfy themselves and leave enough oil and water for a lifetime. That would be the greatest benefit!

As for Baron Kant, he was a newly emerging powerful n.o.ble in the East County.

It didn’t matter!

He was the second son of the Grand Duke of Leo, Cameron.

He was also the nephew of the Countess of the East County, Agatha.

He was a member of the royal family.

He was also a member of the n.o.ble system!

Compared to the Crimson Sect, which was independent of the n.o.ble system, Baron Kant, who seemed to be extremely powerful and sharp, was very easy to accept.

After all, he was one of them!

Even if something unexpected happened, the conflict would be within the Dukedom of Leo.

The conflict between the royal families for the sake of the heir had nothing to do with n.o.bles like them.

Standing on the right side could make the family more prosperous. But even if they stood on the wrong side, at some critical moments, it did not matter if they stood on the wrong side again. Even if they always stood on the wrong side, it was fine if they admitted their mistakes.

n.o.ble families were all related to each other. It was a close connection brought about by marriage.

Looked back at the family tree, they could all related in some way.

Therefore, the nature of the ma.s.sacre of the family could not happen in the Dukedom of Leo.

Therefore, they were calm. No matter who inherited the t.i.tle of the Grand Duke of Leo, it was not too different from usual for the n.o.ble families.

The Dukedom of Leo still needed the help of the n.o.bles to manage it. This was the n.o.ble system!

A b.l.o.o.d.y ma.s.sacre began on Mountain of Death.

And then, in just three to five days, another purge that seemed to engulf all the n.o.ble families also began in the East County.

Groups of soldiers rushed into the originally hidden and brilliant buildings and burned all the oddly shaped statues. Even those who wore black robes and seemed to be clergy were thrown into the fire and burned to death.

Some of the believers seemed to be resisting, and more of them were fleeing.

But there was no way for them to escape.

It was like catching a turtle in a jar.

The soldiers in fine armor were like hunting dogs that could smell the scent.

They searched the area one by one. Any believers who dared to stop them were mercilessly stabbed to death. Even if there were some who were also soldiers resisting, the final result was that they were trapped and died in some places.

The entire East County was in chaos. Even the merchants from the Resniston River noticed it.

This was the chaos brought by the war!

Indeed, this could be called a war.

It was the war between all the n.o.ble families of the East County and the remaining believers of Crimson Sect!

The b.l.o.o.d.y ma.s.sacre continued until the end of the month. Almost thousands of people had been executed in the entire East County. Just in the East County City alone, thousands of corpses had been dragged out. They were all respectable people who had once been influential.

The only port in the East County City that had not been affected had many corpses found in the river.

But at the same time.

The n.o.ble families had obtained a large amount of wealth.

Piles of silver coins and golden eagles appeared in the n.o.ble families’ official residences.

Even some speculators had been richly rewarded. In this war, they had gotten what they wanted, and they had also gotten the vacant positions.

The impact of this storm had been washed clean from top to bottom.

The n.o.ble families didn’t care too much.

It had even evolved into the final purge of the enemy.

Of course, in the eyes of the n.o.ble families, this was the madness before the real chaos. Thus, under the orders of a few top n.o.ble families, as well as the leader of the East County, Countess Agatha, it gradually calmed down.

The East County City was faintly independent of the Dukedom of Leo, but it was definitely not a chaotic, lawless world.

The n.o.ble represented the law.

They also did not want to see the chaos happen.

Now that they had eaten their fill, they did not want anyone to dare to cause trouble and put them in a difficult situation during the digestion process. This was absolutely not allowed!
