Chapter 32 Leaders, Time to Abdicate

"If you like kneeling, you can kneel as long as you want!"

"If you are done kneeling, go to the meeting hall and wait for me."

Tom looked coldly at the leaders kneeling on the ground and gave them an order. Then Tom asked Rod to do something else.

The silent leaders looked at each other, unable to understand what Tom meant.

Tom, on the other hand, walked down the city wall alone and slowly walked towards the count mansion.

He thought he walked slowly, but it was as if he was walking in the hearts of the leaders kneeling, but they couldn't figure it out.

At this time, no one dared to stand up and just watched Tom leave.

After Tom left, the leaders kneeling on the ground began to think differently.

"What do you think Tom means?"

"Does he want us to kneel down or not?"

"Count Tom is so unpredictable. If we go to the meeting hall, will all of us be killed?"

Some bold leaders knelt on the ground, whispered to each other.

They were all speculating about Tom's thoughts.

But was it so easy to read Tom's mind?

Seeing that they were getting more and more unreasonable, one of the leaders immediately stopped them and said.

"Bah! Pooh! Pooh! What are you talking about? If Tom wanted to kill us, he would have killed us long ago. Why did he keep us here for so long? Waste food?"

The leaders all thought that this man was right, but on second thought, they felt that his words were very strange.

Was it a waste of food for them to live?

On the way back to the count mansion, Tom met Hugh.

"Count Tom, can I take up some of your time?"

Hugh knew he was impolite, but he still requested Tom.

Hugh was waiting here on purpose, not by chance.

At this time, Tom was alone. He didn't bring a royal guard with him, nor did he put on the posture of a count.

However, since he was wearing an expensive count suit and his unhurried posture, Hugh was more fully aware of his abruptness.

But it was an emergency, so he didn't care about the etiquette.

Tom didn't care much about the etiquette of the special envoy Hugh. After all, the representative of the special envoy Hugh was the rose queen.

At present, the rose queen was not Tom's enemy, so Tom was willing to cooperate with her.

You're right! Cooperation!

Tom took what he had promised the queen as a cooperation.

After all, there were only 20 cannons in exchange for the most advantageous thing for Tom.

In the future, he would take care of the land that he had conquered for the rose queen.

He was so happy!

Under the support of the queen, the land was occupied legally!

What else could be better than this?

This was much more enjoyable than taking the initiative to invade and plunder!

"Hugh, what can I do for you?"

Tom had been arrogant, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he attached great importance to Hugh’s request.

"Count Tom, please forgive my rudeness."

What Hugh said next was a little abrupt in his opinion, but he had to say it.

Tom nodded slightly, indicating him to continue.

After hesitating for a moment, Hugh said, "Can I see the power of the fire snake and the female demonic cannons?"

Although he had received Tom's promise, he would present the rose queen 10 fire snake cannons and 10 female demonic cannons to her.

But in fact, Hugh had only heard of the power of the cannons and had never really seen the scene of firing.

Therefore, he was not sure about the real strength of the 20 cannons.

"No problem. I'll take you there right now."

Hearing that, Tom was overjoyed. It was a good chance for him to do it before the special envoy and the queen.

But he looked calm. He waved his hand and called in a secret guard.

When the special envoy saw that the secret guard suddenly appeared in front of Tom, he felt lucky that he was not rude to Tom.

After Tom gave the order, the secret guard left, and soon a luxurious carriage appeared in front of Tom.

Tom invited Hugh to come with him and drove the carriage out of the city.

"Mr. Tom has left the city!"

Soon, the news was known to the leaders kneeling on the city wall.

They didn't dare to get up and knelt to wait for Tom to come back.

Tom took Hugh to the place where two cannons were placed outside the city gate. Yes, there was one fire snake and one female demonic cannon.

When Hugh saw the cannons at a close distance, he wanted to see the scene of them shooting out.

Tom didn't disappoint him. He first asked someone to shoot a fire snake cannon.

"Boom!" A deafening sound precisely hit the target mountain, causing the huge stones to slide down, and even a sea of fire to burn.

The special envoy Hugh was stunned. These cannons were like the weapons for the queen to pack up Lord Jack!

Tom ordered his men to shoot the female demonic cannon again!

"Rumble!"

The huge energy cannonball was shot to another mountain at a high speed. It not only caused a sea of fire but also corroded the mountain.

"Count Tom, you are the queen's greatest helper!"

The special envoy Hugh couldn't help but exclaim after he was shocked.

100

Tom told Hugh modestly that the cost of one bullet of the fire snake cannon was 100 gold coins.

It was not until then that the special envoy Hugh realized that the price of such a powerful cannon was not low, but it was not a big problem for the rose queen.

Tom and Hugh got in the carriage and headed for Rock City.

When they passed by the city gate, the small leaders kneeling on the city wall were all gone.

After sending Hugh back to the embassy, Tom ordered a carriage to the meeting hall.

In the meeting hall, all the leaders were sitting at small tables. They didn't dare to move the delicacies on the table.

How dare they act rashly!

It turned out to be the loud noise made by Tom when he was showing the fire from the special envoy Hugh. The leaders kneeling in the city also heard it.

They were frightened and hurried to the meeting hall.

However, it was Rod who received them in the meeting hall.

He especially brought them a separate table and chair, asking them to wait for Tom to come.

After Tom came in, he didn't say much but directly shocked them.

"Leaders, it's time to abdicate!"

Tom ordered all the leaders to abdicate and their son should inherit the title!

"All your troops will be led by the new leader and come to Rock City!"

Tom not only asked them to send the army to the Rock City but also asked them to leave their new leaders there.

Although the leaders didn't want to abdicate so early, to save their lives, they had to accept the order.

Rod thought the count was so smart that the hostages could come up with such an idea.

As for these old leaders, without the army, they could just guard their territory and have no strength to make trouble.

Rod, who had made the most contribution, was conferred the title of baron by Tom.

Tom made Robin's old place a fief for him and immediately ordered him to guard Jack's invasion.
