Chapter 343 - 217: Has Count Engel Gone Mad?
For Moravis Spencer, this son, the Marquis Spencer may not care much, but the problem is that his father does care, as the only Sky Knight of the Spencer Family.
His father loves this son of his very much.
If it were not for the traditions of the nobility, the next heir would be Moravis Spencer.
It is precisely because of this, to prevent any major problems, that Marquis Spencer dispatched this son of his to the Northern Province for exploration.
For this, he even provided a large amount of resources.
Not only having the titled "Wind Frost Knight" as his Guardian Knight, but also dispatching several Earth Knights.
But then what happened?
His son had just arrived in the Northern Province, and hadn’t been there long before he died.
This result, while nearly unacceptable to him, also made his body tremble uncontrollably.
Once his father learns of this matter, he’s in big trouble.
"Damn it!"
"How could this happen?"
"Are the Dressrosa Family insane?"
Spencer muttered to himself, pacing back and forth, unable to calm his heart.
Thoughts flickered through his mind one after another.
There was anger, and there was worry.
His expression kept changing.
Finally.
"The Dressrosa Family!"
Marquis Spencer muttered to himself, a thought flashing and disappearing in his mind, his eyes carrying a hint of menace at this moment.
Of course, Count Engle did not know at this moment that Spencer had received the news.
After reading Thor’s letter and gradually recovering from the shock, Count Engle began to consider his next plans.
Originally, he didn’t plan to expose himself in the short term, even when visiting those Marquis Families before, but now the situation is completely different.
The temptation of hundreds of thousands of gold coins, the exposure of the Sky Knight’s cultivation doesn’t seem to matter much anymore.
In the study.
Count Engle sat down again, picked up the quill pen, pondered briefly, and then began to write.
As time slowly passed.
Soon, a letter was written by him.
"Charlie!"
Count Engle spoke.
Soon the door was pushed open and the butler Charlie walked in.
"Master!"
The butler Charlie spoke respectfully.
"Send this letter to the Spencer Family, and also draft nineteen letters of compensation for me, saying that they recklessly attacked the Eagle Territory, damaging the most treasured character of the nobility. Our Dressrosa Family can forgive them for the sake of being fellow nobility of the Tulip Kingdom, but they need to pay a sum of gold coins."
"As for the value of the gold coins, follow what’s written here!"
Count Engle pondered briefly, then handed two pieces of letter paper to the butler Charlie, speaking slowly.
"Yes!"
The butler Charlie nodded slightly, then took the letters.
But when he unintentionally saw the contents of the first letter of compensation, his eyebrows twitched involuntarily.
"Master, this?"
The butler Charlie, filled with shock, looked toward Count Engle.
"Just do as I say, you don’t need to worry about anything else."
"Yes!"
Although the butler’s heart was tumultuous, he quickly retreated.
Watching the butler Charlie leave, Count Engle’s face involuntarily carried a smile.
"Thor, my son, this time father will teach you a lesson: since they have already been offended, the best solution is to resolve them completely!"
The light laughter spoke out, Count Engle’s eyes carrying a hint of cold glow.
He gave the butler Charlie two letters.
One of them was meant for the nineteen powerful nobility, but the compensation was not as Thor demanded, but was cut in half by him. Since these people haven’t offended too much, there’s no need to force too much, thirty-five thousand gold coins are within reach for these powerful nobles, but truly requiring them to bring it out would create an irresolvable situation with the Dressrosa Family.
Relatively speaking, demanding only half, only several thousand to ten thousand gold coins, might hurt many powerful nobles, but in the traditions of the nobility, it won’t be a problem.
Of course, cutting these people in half doesn’t mean Count Engle doesn’t want the gold coins.
His target is solely one: the Spencer Family.
Moravis Spencer, as the leader of the Northern Alliance, and more importantly, since he’s already been killed, in this situation, since he’s already been offended, Count Engle wouldn’t mind squeezing them for a bit more.
For a powerful Marquis Family’s descendant, forget about several thousand gold coins, tens of thousands of gold coins should still be obtainable.
As for whether this would thoroughly enrage them.
Engle didn’t worry at all.
Enraging them is better.
If the Spencer Family can’t hold back and makes a move against him, he’ll take advantage and directly resolve them.
The Kingdom merely forbids nobility from warring against each other, but does not forbid retaliation.
At this moment, Count Engle already had a plan, but everything still depends on how the Spencer Family responds.
Soon.
Knights began to set off from Dressrosa Castle, heading to the territories of the twenty powerful nobles.
When the letters were delivered.
Many powerful nobles who had not yet received the news were suddenly stunned.
Nanyue Province.
"Crack!"
It was the sound of a broken plate, as a figure suddenly stood up.
