Chapter 398

In the sand castle, the special envoy from the imperial capital was waiting.

They were sitting in the reception room of the sand castle, and they looked a little arrogant. They always looked at everything in the sand castle with a picky look, with their faces facing upwards, and they looked very arrogant.

"Why haven't you come yet? Do you ask us guests who have come from afar to wait for a long time? What's the matter with you? Don't even give me a cup of tea?"

Because they had some opinions about the officials of the Mondra Empire, and the entire desert territory was constantly busy, everyone was not in a good mood to understand the arrival of the imperial envoy.

The arrogant officials were very angry about this obvious neglect. In their opinion, the desert territory was just a territory of the Mondra Empire, and even if Zhao Feng was a marquis, it was not worth mentioning to them. You should know that the two who came to announce the imperial edict this time were two dukes and one marquis.

"I'm sorry, the entire territory is very busy now. Please forgive me for any negligence..." I didn't care much about the condemnation of the envoys and the people who entertained them.

"If this happens, I will record all this and report it to His Majesty Roland III. Humph, you untouchables dare to put on airs with us."

The envoys from the imperial capital were very unhappy with the unrespectful attitude of these servants. Fortunately, they were carrying a few personal servants and pouring tea and water for them, and they were very busy.

"Okay, okay, Lord Special Envoy, our Lord Lord is here." Just when these servants were almost unable to suppress their anger, Zhao Feng came.

Seeing the two special envoys with strange faces, Zhao Feng did not salute, but asked directly: "Who are you two? Did they send them from the imperial capital?"

The faces of the two envoys changed suddenly for Zhao Feng's disrespectful behavior. Especially the Duke among them, he snorted coldly: "Earl Dark Evans, please pay attention to your words and deeds. You are a citizen of the empire, how can you be so presumptuous!"

"Who are you?" Zhao Feng had no impression of the strange face in front of him. Although he had been to the imperial capital, he did not know much about the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital.

The duke raised his chest and said, "I am Russell Hazel, the cousin of His Majesty Roland III, and the authentic royal bloodline. I, on behalf of His Majesty Roland III, will announce the decree to you..."

"Who, I haven't heard of it!" Zhao Feng was very unfamiliar with this name. He shook his head and said, "You are the Duke, not a liar?"

He knew that the throne of the empire was very difficult to obtain. For example, there were only a few people with dukes. For example, he had never heard of Daming.

Hearing Zhao Feng's words, the duke said: "I was promoted recently..."

"So that's it, I understand." Zhao Feng said lightly, still without any respect, and said, "Okay, let's talk short, what decree are you going to read here?"

Zhao Feng now has no good feelings for the people of the Mondra Empire and Roland III. When he thinks of his grandfather, he may have been betrayed by Roland III, and he cannot maintain a peaceful attitude towards these people.

"You..." The duke wanted to get angry, but the deputy envoy next to him pulled him and said, "Sir, we are not the time to show off our power..."

"Oh, yes..." After hearing the words of the deputy envoy, Russell Hazel suppressed the anger in his heart. He was originally just a side branch of the royal family and was not an important figure. He had only been promoted recently and promoted to the position of duke. In fact, he did not have any real power.

Thinking of his intention this time, his face changed and he said with a smile: "Marquis Dark Evans, the people who came to the imperial capital this time are mainly to read an order to you..."

As he said that, Russell Hazel began to read the lengthy will in a whispering voice.

Compared with the previous decrees of Roland III, this decree is particularly long, with many colorful sentences written in the middle. This not only traces the glorious tradition of the Evans family, but also commends the Duke of Jerry Evans who died in battle, and also praises Zhao Feng's outstanding performance.

In Zhao Feng's words, this is not an order, but more like a long letter.

However, Zhao Feng was not deceived by these colorful sentences. He knew that behind this, there were definitely something he didn't want to see.

Roland III is not a lord who likes to show kindness!

"The Evans family has outstanding achievements, Dark Evans is talented and diligent, and is specially promoted to Duke, and he married the royal princess Elaine Hazel and enjoyed royal treatment. He made Elaine Hazel the crown prince, and waited for Elaine Hazel to inherit the throne, and he was regent, commanded the minister, and succeeded the position of prime minister. Because his territory was unattended, he was temporarily handed over and was dealt with separately after his spare time..."

"Sure enough, the fox's tail was revealed in the end..." After hearing the words of the envoy, Zhao Feng couldn't help but sneer, feeling extremely angry.

Roland III said good things for a long time, but finally set his mind on his desert territory.

It seems that he was extremely coveting about this desert territory that had become an oasis, and he felt as if he had incorporated it into the territory of the empire.

"Whatever you give marriage or get promoted is an illusion!"

Zhao Feng knew that although the imperial edict was quite nice, such as military and regent rights, Zhao Feng knew that this was just a big cake.

He believed that Roland III would not give up the rights in his hands easily. Even if he could truly inherit these rights, he would not care.

After all, Roland III has nothing to do with his grandfather's death.

Seeing Zhao Feng's face was calm and not speaking, the envoy from the imperial capital couldn't help but be angry and said, "Earl Dark Evans, why haven't you received the order to thank him? Do you want to resist the order?"

Zhao Feng nodded and said, "This kind of glory is too great. Besides, I already have a wife and dare not accept such rewards. Please report to Your Majesty..."

"What, do you really want to resist the order?" Russell Hazel said with a shocked expression when he heard Zhao Feng's words: "Didn't something happen to you and Princess Elaine Hazel?"

The whole capital was spreading the closeness of Zhao Feng and Elaine Hezel. In their opinion, something must have happened to these two people long ago.

As for this marriage, it was also what they expected.

Zhao Feng said: "I'm sorry, I already have a wife. If His Majesty Princess marry me, she will definitely need to be the main wife. However, I treat all my wives equally and cannot meet his request at all."

Russell Hazel originally thought it was a good journey, but he didn't expect to encounter such twists and turns. He heard this and he had no words.

At this time, the deputy envoy next to him took out another letter and said, "Since that's the case, please see the will of Your Majesty!"

"What, Santos, has another decree?" Even Russell Hazel, as the special envoy, was unexpected.

The deputy envoy named Santos ignored the surprised Russell Hazel, but read the decree to Zhao Feng. Compared with the previous letter, this letter was much more severe.

In this letter, Santos pointed out that the desert territory is becoming more and more excessive, not only tax evasion, but also suspicion of self-reliance.

At the end of the letter, Roland III warned Zhao Feng: "If you resist the order, you will be the enemy of the royal family, you will be rebellious, and you will be despised by all the people of the Mondra Empire. Not only that, the kingdom will also use the whole country to attack desert territory and eliminate these rebellions. The Evans family will also be removed from the empire's aristocratic circle..."

"very good……"

Zhao Feng smiled at the letter. Roland III is worthy of being Roland III. He first threw out a sweet bait, and then swung the stick.

Such coercion and inducement is to force Zhao Feng to surrender and hand over the desert territory.

If it were a long time ago, Zhao Feng might have surrendered. But now he has seen countless storms and waves, how could he be frightened by this little fright!

What's more, Zhao Feng had long been determined and did not intend to continue to let Roland III's mercy. According to the information, Jerry Evans was probably trapped in the encirclement due to Roland III's command, resulting in the final death.

With the lessons learned from the past, Zhao Feng will never surrender and hand over his efforts over the past two years to hand over this prosperous territory to Roland III.

"I chose to resist the order, you can go back and report." Zhao Feng said coldly to the deputy envoy: "I was not scared. Tell His Majesty Roland III that I am in the desert territory, waiting for his soldiers to approach. He comes one, I will kill one. He comes one, I will kill one!"

These words were loud and full of murderous aura.

Originally, the deputy envoy named Santos planned to say a few harsh words, but after looking at Zhao Feng's expression, his voice became less scared and he said with a harsh expression: "You will regret it!"

"Maybe, but not now!" Zhao Feng replied with a smile to the words of the Deputy Envoy of Santos, which attracted countless cheers and applause from the side.

"Well said!"

At some point, people from the desert tribe such as Zauri and Aphra ran over. Gordon and Gauss from the Holy City, and the leaders of some other desert territories all ran over.

After hearing that the special envoy from the imperial capital came, they were all worried whether Zhao Feng would hand over this desert territory in exchange for his own glory and wealth.

After all, Roland III's marriage, plus the title of the duke, and the position, are very attractive and exciting.

At this time, Zhao Feng's answer made them put down the big stone hanging in their hearts.

Seeing Zhao Feng and these people's performance, the deputy envoy understood that these people had long been determined. Thinking of this, his face turned dim.

"This time I've done a lot of work!"

Hearing these cheers, Russell Hazel, as the special envoy, yelled: "You untouchables are so arrogant. When His Majesty leads a million troops, they will kill you all!"

"Is that right? Otherwise, let's try it first and see if the people here can kill you all?" Zawuli, who had been patient by the side, was really angry when he heard the words of the arrogant envoy.

Looking at the murderous look of the thick and powerful desert man, and seeing the soldiers behind him who were ready to beat, Russell Hazel couldn't help but take a step back, staggered and almost fell down.

This time, their mission was less than fifty people, which was far inferior to the strength of this desert territory. If they really annoyed these people, their fate would be really hard to say.

Forty or fifty people, maybe they wouldn't even be left with the scum.

"Okay, you guys are cruel, let's go!" Looking at the people with smiles on their faces, Russell Hazel quickly said to his servants and his subordinates: "Let's go, these traitors are really against each other!"

After hearing his words, his confidants quickly packed up their bags and planned to leave. Originally, they planned to make some money by releasing the imperial edict. Unexpectedly, this time, the imperial edict was not only not gained anything, but also could not even save their lives. Seeing this scene, they naturally wanted to leave this place early, so they would really become dead souls under the knife.

"Go, go, go!"

These people packed up quickly and ran away in shame.

Seeing these people running away, Zhao Feng did not stop him. To him, these people were of no value. Even if they stayed, they would not be of use.

Although the two people have very high official titles, they don’t look like people in high positions at all, but rather like scapegoats.

No matter which aspect he considered, Zhao Feng never thought of attacking them.

"What a devastated dog..."

Seeing these people running away, Alfra shook her head and said with great contempt: "Why are these Mondra officials so hateful?"

Aphra dealt with many Mondra officials and found that most of these officials were extremely greedy and arrogant, and basically had no good people.

Zhao Feng shook his head and said, "** is just a breeding. There are many of these borers at any time. Unless they experience a baptism of blood and fire, they will continue to increase..."

Zhao Feng's words are quite profound and difficult to understand. However, they knew that this was the beginning of Zhao Feng's official break with the Mondra Empire.

"In this case, will we still declare war with the Mercenary Guild?" Aphra felt a little heavy when he remembered that the Mondra Empire was about to become an enemy of the desert territory.

As one of the three major empires on the continent, the Mondra Empire, although it has undergone division and rebellion, still has millions of troops, which is a force that cannot be ignored.

Fighting with such a country is a very terrifying thing.

Sometimes in war, what is considered is not personal force, but all aspects of the world have to be considered. The current power of desert territory seems very weak.

Compared to the behemoth of the Mondra Empire, they seem to be very small.

Otherwise, Roland III would not have prepared a second letter and used intimidation to force Zhao Feng to surrender. In his opinion, as long as he was a wise person, he would definitely choose to surrender.

However, Zhao Feng did not choose this path, but chose to fight to the end.
