The sound of rumbling and rumbling moved the long and narrow carriage.
The steam train running at full power took away the resentment of many nobles in the western province of the Kingdom of Mattia, as well as the feared and terrifying regiment.
While Zhou Weide was silent in the illusory kingdom, his life knights, who were armed to the teeth, strictly implemented his logistics plan.
At the beginning, Sir Ferro from the Kingdom’s Mission, Baron Bell, the former governor of Burnie Port, Bishop Kaishe of the Sky Church, and Pastor Ian of the Burning Sun Church were still able to come forward to negotiate.
The local nobles in Bree County are also willing to sell the church and the mission to save face, and they don't want to offend the powerful forces nearby.
Therefore, even though the original Knights of Time and Life moved slowly, they had no bad reputation and instead received praise from the local nobles.
There are even many nobles who are willing to send their second sons to the Church of Life to receive more professional knight training and learn some reliable medical skills.
Due to the nature of parents loving their children, in order to give their second son and illegitimate son who have no inheritance rights, a decent future.
When the Life Knights passed through Bree County, not only did they not lose any combat personnel, they also had an additional light cavalry reconnaissance battalion of more than 200 people.
If it were not for the second son of a small noble and the illegitimate son of a big noble who joined, and was not qualified to carry the family flag, Zhou Weide's regiment would have turned into a true coalition of nobles.
But all this harmony has changed since leaving Bree County. This is not because the nobles in other areas are bad, but the nobles in Bree County are good.
But the influence of Burnie Port is limited and can only affect thirteen cities in Bree County.
In Bree County, no one dares to ignore the Life Church that rules Burnie Port and organizes four thousand soldiers to march eastward.
As soon as the Life Church left the scope of Bree County, it changed from a regional overlord to a foreign noble corps.
If the nobles of the western provinces do not take the opportunity to increase prices, even if it is a very peaceful method, there is simply no way to get them to support logistics.
Sir Ferro and Baron Bell of the Kingdom’s mission took the IOU stamped with the emblem of the Church of Life and the coat of arms of the lord, and made earnest promises to the local nobles.
"Everyone, you don't want the four thousand elite soldiers to run out of food and have a mutiny on the spot."
"Lord Vader is a reasonable man, he will not ask you to Free logistical supplies.
If you take Lord Wade’s IOU, you can go to Burnie Port to extract the same amount of salt.
“Just think of us as armed salt dealers. Well, it would be good for both of us to turn a blind eye."
Sir Ferro and Baron Bell's efforts did not receive any response.
The nobles of the Western Province not only questioned the king's summons, but also demanded that the Knights of Life pay a high transit fee.
They are not worried at all about the chaos of the Knights of Life. Their thinking still remains on noble titles, political influence, and regional power.
Faced with their determined obstruction, Sir Ferro and Baron Bell had to report to Zhou Weide.
At that time, Zhou Weide was busy exploring the illusory kingdom and had no energy to play profit games with the regional nobles.
Therefore, he called Rowan, the leader of the Life Knights, and only said to him, "Deal with them."
This sentence started the terrifying notoriety of the Life Knights. After receiving the order, the Life Knights put down their peaceful disguise and used guns and cannons to knock open the manors of the nobles.
The nobles who were frightened at first called the Life Knights rebels.
After the Life Knights strangled them all the way, they no longer dared to say the word rebellion, only "cruelty".
Because they were afraid that the Knights of Life would really rebel, they hung them one by one on the city wall.

"They really dare to attack us. If I had known it would be better to let them cross the border this way. Anyway, they have physical mortgages. Things like salt are stable in price and can be stored."
"They How dare you? Aren't they afraid that we will gather the guards and block their retreat? "
"We have already taken action. What else are we afraid of? The most important thing now is to send them away and don't let them stay. Come down and fight us."
In the end, the governor of the Western Province suppressed the idea of starting a civil war even though he hated the Knights of Life for not following the rules.
He declared that the battle between the Knights of Life and the local nobles was a conflict of nobles, and that the two sides had reached a reconciliation under his mediation.
In this regard, the Knights of Life, bearing the reputation of cruelty, arrived at the train platform in Faye City, the center of the province, as they wished.
In order to send away these unruly guys, the nobles of the Western Province coordinated multiple passenger trains and stopped passenger services.
In the name of military emergency, they put the Life Knights on the train and asked the train driver to move forward at full speed.
After the Life Knights left, they immediately summoned the guards to start guarding the train lines and transportation nodes.
They are preparing to block the retreat of the Life Knights so that this legion will never be able to return to Burnie Port.
In addition, some nobles who were directly affected also assembled an armed team of more than 3,000 people.
They are planning to attack Bonny Port, which is ruled by the Life Church, while the Life Knights are advancing eastward and have no time to take care of the rear.
It is foreseeable that the nobles of Bree County will not let the troops of foreign nobles march in. They will also suppress this team and trigger new conflicts.
At this moment, the importance of region begins to highlight. Provocation by forces in a region is likely toIt can trigger armed conflict between the two regions.
In the eyes of the nobles of Bree County, the Knights of Life are not only a part of them, but also the strongest military force in their region.
It is simply a dream for them to give up the powerful Life Knights and the Life Church with medical capabilities because of the armed team of more than 3,000 people.
What's more, what the Life Knights have obtained is the king's summons order for Bree County.
In this case, they can all share the honor of victory, but they can't get rid of the guilt of failure even if they want to.
Therefore, the pressure exerted by some local nobles in the Western Province was naturally regarded as a counterattack by the hostile factions in the Crown War.
The nobles of Bree County did not have the courage to send troops to the royal capital, but they had the courage to assemble the militia groups of thirteen cities and beat up the invaders.
Even though the Life Knights were ruthless enough to intimidate most of the nobles, not many of them actually suffered losses.
Otherwise, before the Crown War has even begun, a civil war between the aristocratic coalition will break out in the western province of the kingdom.
The Sky Church in Bree County promptly notified Bishop Cathy of the changes in the rear.
Faced with this situation, Zhou Weide asked the Life Church of Burnie Port to declare an emergency defense order through the Dream Temple.
If those nobles do not keep quiet, he will replace 5,000 elite soldiers in Burni Port and send them away completely.
As a result, the territory behind is pregnant with struggles, and the goals in front are clouded by war. Only the journey in the middle is smooth.
However, the calm in the middle of the journey was quickly broken. Pastor Ian from the Burning Sun Church hurried into the conference car and brought an explosive news that overwhelmed the noise of the train.
"Lord Vader, His Majesty the King has fallen asleep forever. We have lost our most important political weight."
