These big shots are actually me - #89 - Chapter 89

But in reality, he couldn’t find any reason to kill the other party! Because the Douglas family is at the end of their rope, Mozo, the ‘enemy’, is actually their last straw.

At the same time, he didn’t dare to take action, because he really didn’t dare to take action against this monster who faked his death and killed an angel and the Prime Minister of the Empire. This evil wolf that had shocked all countries three hundred years ago!

He was afraid that this was also the other party’s plan!

The wolves in the north are already infinitely terrifying in their eyes. Especially after the other party came back to life one after another!

Yes, just as Mozo speculated, little Lord Douglas knew that he was also the old wolf master.

As for why Emperor Heather did not disclose this matter, it was because he was waiting to confirm Cromwell’s ‘arrangement’ before announcing this major victory to the world.

Emperor Heather was scared of him back then, and he really didn’t dare to act rashly unless he was sure that he really had no backup plan.

And young Lord Douglas also resisted killing Mozo, not because he didn’t want to avenge his father, but because killing him would not only be unhelpful to reality, but would also encourage the emperor’s cruelty and exploitation.

Little Lord Douglas could even deduce that if he could really kill the other party, the emperor would probably smile and give the heads of his family to the Lollans as an apology the next day.

The man sitting on the throne had already fallen into almost crazy indulgence and self-confidence when he thought he had defeated the Lang family!

In this case, why would he sacrifice the Douglas family for such an emperor?

It can be seen that until this moment, Lord Douglas’s thinking has completely no longer favored the royal family and Heather.

As a result, he tried his best to support his body on the throne, and asked Mo Zuo with aggressive eyes:

“How far can you go? Or what can we achieve?”

Mo Zuo said truthfully:

“The north and south of Heather are isolated, and the Douglas family is completely independent. You will no longer be Heather’s vassal, you will be your own monarch.”

Hearing this, little Lord Douglas sat on the throne and laughed, almost maniacally with joy:

“Hahahaha, hahahaha! Okay, okay, okay!”

After he finished laughing, he suppressed the smile in his eyes and ordered to his knights:

“Calling our vassals, all vassals who have sworn allegiance to us, must be called!”

If you are unkind, then I am unjust!

This is little Lord Douglas’s last choice!

After hearing these words, Mo Zuo couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. If possible, he really didn’t want to go to this step, because then, his previous efforts to fake death and disappear would probably be in vain.

Although he will have the opportunity to continue to hide in the future, the operating space is not large and it is easy to ‘turn over’.

But Emperor Heather’s ruthlessness and blind self-confidence forced him to come over and arrange these things, because once he allowed the other party to do whatever he wanted, even if he could get a short period of peace, in the future that person who was full of extraordinary achievements would definitely Bravely launch a shocking war that affects surrounding countries!

Although the two guardian knights felt a little nervous about this decision, in the end they bowed their heads and stepped back to start arranging the matter.

The Douglas family had indeed been deposed, but their influence in the fiefdom was not such that it would completely collapse in just a few days. There are such outrageous nobles, but the Douglas family is obviously not one.

The vassals were not willing to be arranged at will by the emperor, so when the master’s call was issued, the vassals scattered all over the country chose to attend the appointment despite their doubts.

Of course, this time the Douglas family gathered together for the last reason. The purpose is to get together and disperse easily.

From this point of view, it is questionable and unquestionable to do this.

But when the news was hurriedly sent to Emperor Heather. Emperor Heather, who was sitting happily watching the clouds and wind blowing, just smiled disdainfully and said:

“Let them go, they are not that stupid, but if they are really that stupid, then you can’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Retaining the wealth of the Douglas family, retaining their main city of Antler Castle, and promising to restore their reputation and title at an opportunity in the future was the last concession he made for the sake of Prince Douglas.

If these people don’t know how to cherish, then don’t blame them for being heartless.

After all, his goal is to make Heather become a powerful empire comparable to the Duze Dynasty after annexing the Northern Business Alliance and Lorraine!

As a mortal, he accomplished a great deed that only kings and gods are qualified to pursue!

When was the last time someone did something like this? Ah, it’s time for the battle of the four gods! And the four countries at that time were able to achieve this by relying on the four major churches and the gods behind them, right?

Now he had to accomplish such a great deed by himself instead of relying on gods. Just thinking about it made him extremely excited!

Thinking of this, he began to expect the Douglas family to be a bit more “stupid”.

Because this way he would have more reasons and legitimacy to continue attacking the nobles. The country’s fiefdoms were completely in the hands of the powerful nobles.

This was extremely difficult to accept for him who had been severely cheated by the eastern nobles and butchers!

His ultimate dream is to make his empire no longer have any powerful nobles in the future! All territories are directly under the royal family!

After being immersed in his dream for a moment, Emperor Heather suddenly said to his subordinates:

“Let the vassals rush to Antler Castle, and at the same time let our generals on Douglas’ territory take back the soldiers stationed on the main roads. Let them just stick to their stations.”

This is the emperor’s reminder and expectation.

He is reminding the Douglas family that he knows what you are going to do, and he is also expecting the Douglas family to take action even though I have let you go so far.

–

In the hall of Antler Castle, all the vassals of the Douglas family gathered together again after the disaster in their master’s family.

They either looked at their companions suspiciously, shouted something fiercely, or sat calmly with their eyes closed to meditate.

But no matter how everyone here behaves, they all feel excited and uneasy at the same time.

They are all thinking about what the master is going to do!

Finally with a voice:

“Quiet! Lord Douglas is here!”

All the vassals in the room fell silent, and then they all stood up and looked at the main seat. There, they saw little Lord Douglas walking up accompanied by two guardian knights.

But what made them even more confused was that there were three people in black robes standing below the young Lord Douglas.

The other party’s cheeks were hidden under the hood, making it impossible to see his face clearly, but judging from their stature, they should be a man and two women.

As Lord Douglas sat on his throne, all the vassals subconsciously held their breath.

They knew that the biggest highlight of the day was coming!

141 Revenge against the tyrant! (5k)

Facing his vassals, Lord Douglas did not choose to stand up, but sat in his seat.

Because what he was going to say tonight was undoubtedly a big gamble for him.

And it blocked the entire family’s gamble!

Although this was a desperate decision, it was still terrifying and terrifying. This made his body tremble and he could only sit on a chair to calm down his mind and body.

Little Lord Douglas, who is sitting on the throne at this moment, seems to be extremely calm, but in fact, if you observe carefully, you will find that his palms are constantly rubbing the armrests of the throne.

After a long time, Lord Douglas, who had adjusted his mood, looked at everyone present and said:

“My lords, first of all, I would like to thank you for your willingness to come to your appointment at this time.”

“This undoubtedly shows that your lords still remember the oath you made to our family.”

Hearing this, everyone’s pupils began to shrink. It was unmistakable, Mr. Douglas Jr. wanted it!

Just as they expected, little Lord Douglas finally stood up after saying these words. At this point, the fear in his heart and the trembling in his body gradually disappeared.

All that’s left is a fire!

Looking at the many vassals loyal to the Douglas family in front of him, little Lord Douglas shouted loudly with eyes gradually determined:

“I think all of you are well aware of our current predicament. The person on the throne wants to deprive us of our territory, cut off our titles, and plunder our wealth! This is the legal right that our ancestors have earned for us!”

“This is a generational covenant between our ancestors and the Heather royal family, but the owner of the throne wants to tear it up!”

“I can’t tolerate it, so I want Douglas to lead independence! I want to repeat what the eastern nobles did! I want to make that treacherous emperor extremely regretful!”

In the midst of the constant words, little Lord Douglas walked directly to the steps and shouted to the many vassals below:

“Are you willing to join me?”

After saying this, he eagerly waited for the response from his vassals.

But what made him feel cold was that although most of the vassals were interested in making a move, no one responded to him vocally, and no one said on the spot that they would continue to follow him.

They all lowered their heads in silence and looked at their companions with their peripheral vision.

The Douglass were incapable of resisting the emperor. The vassals’ soldiers and extraordinary beings combined were indeed a considerable force.

But there are no angels or even demigods left in the Douglas family.

They are not high-sequence people and have no desire to resist the emperor, even if it means breaking their oath.

After all, if you break your oath, you can’t hold your head high. If you don’t break the oath, the family may be wiped out.

So when Lord Douglas finished speaking his plan, all the vassals lowered their heads in silence. They also have a fire in their hearts, but the lack of high-level sequences makes them afraid to reveal it…

Such a reaction made little Lord Douglas feel extremely cold in his heart.

Did it just fail like that?

Is the Douglas family really beyond redemption?

He has obviously made such a big determination!

Mo Zuo has been observing the expressions of the vassals calmly.

It was obvious that they were also unhappy with what happened to them and their master’s family. Their willingness to be summoned also showed that he still recognized the Douglas family as their master.

It’s just that there is no high-sequence Douglas family that makes them afraid to follow. After all, this seems to be a war destined to fail.

It seems like it’s time for me to show up.

Mozo raised his hand and put it on his hood, preparing to appear directly in this moment of complete silence.

But just when he was about to reveal his identity.

A fat old man suddenly yelled at the silent vassals present:

“What’s wrong? Are all the vassals of the Douglas family a bunch of cowards? Anyone with a discerning eye knows what the old master died for! It’s okay for that bullshit emperor not to care about the old master’s achievements.”

“He actually dared to cut off the Douglas family’s fiefdom and title, and you are not only the vassals of the old master, but also the direct victims of this cut! You are silent now?”

“A bunch of cowards! Trash! Worms with no honor to speak of!”

The fat old man continued to insult the vassals present, and at the same time he approached the young Lord Douglas.

Seeing the old man approaching, young Lord Douglas couldn’t help but said in surprise:

“Lord Horn!?”

The fat old man smiled and waved his hand:

“Don’t call me your lord, I’m just a useless old and fat border noble. However, my lord, if you want, I and my three thousand soldiers can fight for you!”

As he spoke, the fat old Viscount Horn planned to kneel down, salute, and offer his sword to the young Lord Douglas.

He handed over his military power as a symbol.

But tonight is indeed going to have twists and turns, just like when Mozo was about to appear, when Viscount Horn was about to kneel down and offer his sword, someone jumped out again.

Mozo also knew that person, Earl Gray of Bighorn Sheep, who was one of the most powerful vassals of the Douglas family.

“Mr. Horn, and Mr. Douglas Jr. I hope you can understand that it’s not that we can’t see the reality, nor that we must break our oath, but please understand that we can’t win!”

The Earl of Bighorn Sheep raised his hand and pointed at the vassals behind him and said with great emotion:

“Everyone here is holding a fire. We all know what the old master died for, but please wait and see the reality clearly. Without the old master, we have no capital to fight against the empire.”

“What you are doing will only destroy us all!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the vassals who had been told by Viscount Horn to kneel down immediately began to waver again.

The human heart is so strange, sometimes it is firm and sometimes it is fragile.

Especially when this matter is related to one’s own wealth and life.

The fat Viscount Horn stopped his movements and turned to look at Count Gray. The gap in titles did not allow him to show due respect.

Instead, he spat on the ground disdainfully because of the other party’s words:

“Bighorn sheep, the bighorn sheep of Rock Castle, the unyielding bighorn sheep. I once admired you and your family very much, but now it seems that you are just a soft-footed sheep with a superficial appearance.”

The Earl of Bighorn Sheep was very angry when he said this:

“Please pay attention to your words, Viscount Horn! You are talking to a count!”
