When Grand Duke Bohan was alive, she was a member of the neutral faction.

Fifth Prince's words made her switch to First Prince Kaiya's camp.

As First Prince expelled Third Prince from Royal Capital, she was very grateful for her wise decision.

After Bashio Kingdom Expeditionary Force entered Duke Gonghan Duchy, she contributed her two daughters and retained certain rights in the Northern Army. She did not send troops to join the war, but provided supplies as needed.

In Keloai's view, this matter is a sure-fire deal.

"Haha, if you want to take away my Peerage, I'm not a lamb to be slaughtered." Keloai tore up the expulsion list in his hand and handed over his Head Maid.

"." A woman wearing a maid outfit came to the study, wearing glasses, putting her hands on her abdomen, bending forward slightly, and saluted Chloe.

"Linna, I am mobilizing all the troops in the territory, recruiting adventurers, and notifying my vassals. If you don't want to die, please do it for me."

"Yes, I am." Head Maid Linna lowered his head and replied.

After Head Maid left, Keloai summoned his own Rose Guard, a total of three hundred Swordswoman, including three Silver Intermediate, ten Low-rank Silver, and two hundred and eighty-seven High-rank Bronze are her absolute confidants. Even if they are asked to commit suicide now, they will not hesitate at all.

Thirty years ago, she collected more than two thousand baby girls, invested a lot of resources, used cruel methods, and made an oath to get these three hundred people.

In the eyes of Keloai, no power is important.

Child, you can die again.

Husband, if you don't have it, you can find it again.

Thirty years ago, Keloai personally killed his two daughters and husband because they wanted to snatch his power.

In order to prevent Songshi Territory from losing, she needs to prepare a way out in advance and send her wealth abroad.

Apart from her own Rose Guard, she doesn't trust anyone else as an executive candidate.

As for why she didn't leave with her wealth in advance and go to the Bashio Kingdom, it was because Keloai was unwilling to give up. Why did she give up her territory and Songshi Territory, which she had run for more than sixty years, if Third Prince said it?

In the territory of South Desalin Province, no small nobles encountered along the way were spared, and they were all robbed by Velin.

For those who have a good attitude and move to surrender, Velin allows them to take away one-tenth of their property, go to the seaside, and leave Duke Gonghan Duchy by boat.

Those with a bad attitude will be directly arrested and imprisoned, handed over to the Southern Army, and escorted back to North Yi City to await processing.

Along the way, Kyle put what he learned into practice.

The surrendered nobles will definitely need escorts when they go to the seaside. They only need to pay a little Gold Coin to take away their loyal guards.

If you have a guard, you need weapons. You only need a little Gold Coin to buy the confiscated weapons.

If there are enough people, food will be needed.

The journey is long and requires Carriage, oxcarts and other various means of transportation.

Although most of the nobles surrendered, not much Gold Coin could be taken away, not because of the lack of wealth, but because the words of Kyle, a profiteer, were very convincing.

Passing through more than twenty Baron and Viscount Territory places, the wealth in his hands expanded rapidly, but they were all valuable things, such as food, soldiers, livestock, cloth, etc., all turned into shiny Gold Coin.

"Count Deyue, you are a nobleman who understands current affairs."

"Lord Velin is joking. I'm just ashamed of betraying Allen Your Highness. Now I just want to atone for my previous sins." A rich middle-aged man said with a smile, not feeling sad at all about his eviction.

"Don't worry, I promise to keep what I say. As long as the nobles surrender, I will let them go unconditionally and take away one-tenth of the wealth. I will never break my promise."

"Sir, please take a step to speak." Count Deyue whispered to Velin with a smile on his face.

The two came to the side and started talking quietly.

"Lord Velin, I have two secret vaults, and I am willing to donate one-third to you. I hope you will turn a blind eye and let me take out the things. These things are not included in my wealth, and there is no account, so naturally they will not be handed over, right?"

"Well! It's a bit difficult to handle. You know my father is Acting Governor from two provinces. As his son..."

Count Deyue was not angry and still said with a smile, "I am willing to give half of it."

"Count is a reasonable person, so there is no problem."

"Thank you for your magnanimity, sir." Count Deyue breathed a sigh of relief and thanked the other party.

"Mutual benefit, mutual benefit, mutual benefit." Velin said with a smile, staring at the other party with some confusion.

Subsequently, Kyle came forward to discuss matters with his ex, Count Deyue, and "earned" most of his wealth.

Draide did not stop what was happening in front of him.

The more wealth Young Master Velin has left in his hands, and if he goes back and divides the money, everyone can get more Gold Coin, so why not.

Although the Count Deyue leader is one of the six South Deshaling Province Counts, its territory is small, only more than 3,000 square kilometers, and there are not many nobles under its command. The army has been wiped out in the previous war, and there are still more than a thousand people left. More than half of them are strong men who were forcibly recruited within half a year, and they cannot bear the burden.

Now he just wants to leave here and go to other countries. With his own strength and talent, there is no problem whether he is a wealthy businessman or an official. Although it is not as good as a noble who has the power to kill in one place, it is still much better than liquidating and hanging Royal Capital.

He would probably never come back to this place. If he didn't take the things away at this time, would he still keep them for those rat-like adventurers?

In the next five days, Third Battalion did not leave Deyue City. On the one hand, he was stationed here, waiting for the Command Department's investigators to investigate and accept the property, and on the other hand, he was waiting for reinforcements.

He got two locations from his father, one was Deyue Territory and the other was Songshi Territory.

According to the information he received, Countess, who was named Lady Rose, was actively preparing for war, intending to use the army in her hands to resist Glorious Trend.

He was reluctant to let his Direct Lineage troops take the lead, so he directly transferred two battalions of the Southern Army from behind Chris Province in the name of his father.

Calculating the time, there are still six days before we will arrive at Deyue City.

In his opinion, this Rose Lady is just struggling to her death and can attack the Chow Chow Territory at any time.

In early December, Command Department's investigators received 60/60 of the wealth and set off back to Royal Capital. As for the other Rebel Noble, except for those who resisted and were arrested, they did not inquire about the others who were released.
