Many people knew about this matter, even the Red Sand Emperor was well aware of it, and questioned Wengert about the crime of deceiving the emperor.
Ungert claimed this was to eliminate potential threats and to leave hidden agents at the bottom to ensure the stability of the colonial plane, which made Emperor Red Sand think that this person was useful, and thus Ungert was granted the title of Marquis.
As Wengert spoke, the nobles below immediately realized that this might be a consensus reached between Marquis Yueshan and the envoys of the two great empires, and they all echoed in agreement:
"Lord Wengert is a veteran of the battlefield, having pacified the nine planes. We can certainly trust him."
"We are completely convinced by the Marquis of Wengert's methods!"
Amidst the praises, Wengert pressed his hands down slightly, and after the scene quieted down, he said loudly to everyone: "As nobles who govern a region, you should know very well how difficult it is to govern a region, let alone five large planes."
Now that the Great Yin has achieved a great victory on the interdimensional battlefield and quelled the rebellions in the five major planes, the primary objective should be to restore order to the five major planes and transform them into colonial lands that supply resources to the empire.
"But now that the war is over, the order in the five planes has collapsed and various factions are everywhere, making it impossible to restore order in a short period of time."
Therefore, I believe that instead of spending a lot of effort to support a puppet regime whose true intentions are hard to discern, it would be better to let these foreign kings, who have become prisoners, regain power and serve the empire with peace of mind.
"After suffering a crushing defeat, the kings of the foreign tribes are pardoned by the Empire. They will surely be deeply grateful for the Empire's grace and serve it even more wholeheartedly. What do you all think of this proposal?"
Upon hearing this, the banquet hall fell silent, and all the nobles looked at each other in shock.
It wasn't because the suggestion was particularly good, but because Wengert's suggestion was utter nonsense.
Would a normal person release an enemy who comes to their door in the name of maintaining order, allowing them to return and regain power? Would a normal person believe that releasing a foreign race would make them grateful? If anyone else had proposed this, they would have been kicked out of the banquet long ago.
However, the speaker was one of the three marquises present, Wengert of the Red Sand Empire, whose status compelled people to take his words seriously.
Despite the absurdity of the proposal, neither the presiding judge nor the soldiers maintaining order below made a sound; only the two giant executioners seemed somewhat surprised.
The five alien kings already on the execution platform remained calm, seemingly already aware of the outcome. The ogre king, in particular, revealed undisguised mockery in his eyes.
Many nobles were speechless upon seeing the expression on the Ogre King's face.
"Grateful? These unrepentant alien races know how to be grateful?"
"Is this Marquis of Wengert a fool, or does he think we are fools?"
......
Although they inwardly cursed Wengert's nonsensical theory, all the nobles were well aware that the fundamental purpose of this matter was still the dispute between the nobles and the imperial power of the Great Yin Empire.
Yin Qianyu successfully conquered the five planes and prepared to kill these alien kings as a warning to others, but the nobles openly obstructed her, using the absurd reason of Wengert to release the alien kings and make things difficult for Yin Qianyu.
Once these alien kings return to the five planes, and with the covert support of the nobles, even if Yin Qianyu wins the plane war, the five planes will gradually slip out of her control.
More importantly, the prestige that Yin Qianyu has built up with the help of the five planes will begin to collapse, and the balance of power between the imperial power and the nobility will return to its original state.
Undoubtedly, it was quite remarkable that Marquis Yueshan managed to orchestrate this matter through the mouth of the envoy from the Red Sand Empire, but a question arose simultaneously in the minds of all the nobles.
"Could it be that these dukes and marquises are no longer afraid of the powerful divine force behind the princess?"
Without the confidence to confront powerful divine forces, how could they dare to make such a decision?
Many people recalled what Bei Feng Lingyue had said at the Noble Council, and gradually found their answer.
At the same time, a fawning voice rang out among the nobles.
"As expected of Marquis Wengert, who pacified the nine planes, he was able to solve the governance problems of the five planes so easily!"
Everyone cast disdainful glances at the nobleman who had spoken, but words of praise unconsciously escaped their lips.
"The Marquis of Wengert is absolutely right!"
"By pardoning these foreign kings, we can also let them witness the majesty of our Great Yin Empire."
“I think that’s not enough. We should set up a special fund for them so they can rebuild their homes.”
Only when their homes are rebuilt can they better serve the Great Yin Empire.
"I propose to bring in talent from the five major planes, so that the Empire can fully exchange ideas with the five major planes!"
......
A chorus of agreement rang out, and the three marquises at the top of the hall exchanged glances before smiling.
Looking down at the mocking ogre, Wengert asked Yue Shanhou with great interest:
"It seems this cannibal king is still not satisfied! Isn't Marquis Yue Shan afraid he'll harbor rebellious intentions again?"
Marquis Yueshan merely glanced at the Ogre King indifferently.
"It's nothing more than a tool to annoy Her Highness the Princess. What can you do if you're unwilling?"
He knew perfectly well that he would only be of use to the princess if he showed hostility towards her, and he would faithfully fulfill his role as a tool.
With the nobles reaching a consensus, the Grand Judge on the high platform below issued the order:
"Since the nobles have always believed that the five foreign kings should be released, according to Article 15, Section 3 of the Noble Law, it is clearly stipulated that when the throne of the emperor has not been decided, the noble councilors have the right to decide on matters of the empire."
"The five alien kings are innocent and are hereby released!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the elite soldiers stepped forward and removed their shackles.
As soon as the shackles were removed, the aura of a demigod soared into the sky, and the five kings of the alien races looked down at everything around them with arrogant eyes.
The ogre king addressed the other four alien kings in an undisguised voice:
"Despite having an absolute advantage, they deliberately go astray for their own selfish desires. This is an indelible flaw in the human race!"
"Just wait! We'll be back, but next time it definitely won't be like this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Ogre King prepared to step onto the execution platform.
But just then, a voice filled with supreme authority rang out in the execution ground.
"Execution!"
Like an emperor sitting high above the heavens issuing a decree, the two giant executioners raised their long-handled axes as if obeying this decree.
The Soul-Severing Axe was raised high, and terrifying killing intent descended directly from the heavens.
The nobles watched in horror at the scene before them. The five alien kings were now filled with rage, and their powerful demigod aura suddenly erupted, trying to break through the Soul-Severing Axe filled with killing intent.
But under this axe that once slew a true god, even a demigod is like an ant.
The giant axe crashed down, its immense weight and size cleaving the bodies of the five alien kings into a bloody pulp, their souls instantly obliterated.
Everyone stared in shock at the scene before them.
Unbeknownst to anyone, at the dining table in the corner of the hall, Luo Tian calmly put away the Eastern Peak Imperial Seal in his right hand.
Chapter 183 Let the music continue! Let the dance continue!
As an observer, Luo Tian could see everything clearly from the scene unfolding before the execution platform.
Marquis Yue Shan's plan to use the witnesses of the envoys from the two great empires to release the five alien kings to cause trouble for Yin Qianyu was an open secret.
With the two great empires as witnesses, and with noble councilors and imperial judges present, this was practically a pardon for the five kings of the foreign races in the name of the Great Yin Empire.
As long as she cares about the reputation of the Great Yin Empire, Yin Qianyu would not turn around and send troops to capture the five alien kings.
Once these five alien kings return to the five planes, things will inevitably slip out of Yin Qianyu's control again, thus weakening Yin Qianyu's influence on the situation.
Whether the five planes will invade again, or whether the Underdark will fall into war again, is completely irrelevant to the great nobles.
In Luo Tian's view, Marquis Yue Shan was colluding with envoys from the two great empires to openly antagonize Yin Qianyu.
Otherwise, no matter how powerful the envoys of the two great empires were, they would not dare to interfere in the internal affairs of the Great Yin Empire in front of Marquis Yueshan, who was a high-ranking official.
"Some are single-mindedly focused on killing the enemy and saving the country from peril. Others, for their own selfish gain, allow foreign tribes to return to the mountains like tigers."
The same group can react so drastically simply because of interests.
This scene is truly fascinating.
Luo Tian glanced at all the astonished nobles present, then calmly looked towards the direction of the palace.
With Yin Qianyu's discerning eye, she should be able to guess that these nobles have ulterior motives.
Even if that weren't the case, given Yin Qianyu's methods, she would have sent one of her trusted subordinates to manage the situation, and it wouldn't have been possible for Yue Shanhou to succeed so easily.
"What exactly is she plotting?"
With his thoughts swirling, Luo Tian slowly stood up from the corner table, picked up a glass of red wine, and walked toward the three marquises.
"No matter what her plans are, I should intervene when I see things that make me unhappy."
after all......"
"How can you conduct politics well when you're surrounded by a bunch of insects?"
......
As the souls of the five alien kings beneath the Soul-Severing Axe were obliterated, Marquis Wengert's face turned ashen.
Even the Marquis of Yueshan and Marquis Suen, who hadn't spoken yet, had unusually grim expressions.
None of them could have imagined that the five alien kings they had saved would die so tragically on this execution platform.
They could almost hear the invisible hands slapping crisply across their faces.
On either side of the execution platform, giant executioners raised their massive axes, almost soul-severing, covered in large amounts of blood and bits of flesh.
The five once-arrogant alien kings were so easily reduced to a mass of minced meat that even the best priests could not piece together.
Marquis Yue Shan's gaze suddenly turned incredibly gloomy. He looked at the giant executioners on either side of the execution platform, who were wielding their Soul-Severing Axes, and asked in a deep voice:
"Why did you still take action after already pardoning the five alien kings? Are you violating the will of the Imperial Law?"
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Marquis Yue Shan even guessed that these two giant executioners were forces directly controlled by the royal family, and that killing the five alien kings was an order given by Yin Qianyu.
The solemn and sacred command given earlier must have been some kind of pre-arranged code with Yin Qianyu.
Upon realizing this, Marquis Yue Shan was consumed by rage.
If the giant executioners weren't outside the jurisdiction of the noble council, he probably would have already ordered his men to seize these two giant executioners who had suddenly attacked him.
On either side of the execution platform, two giant executioners, clad in heavy armor and resembling mountains, looked at each other. The solemn and sacred decree from before still echoed in their hearts, and they simply obeyed it instinctively.
Now that Marquis Yueshan is questioning them, they don't know how to answer.
The giant executioner's silence only solidified Yue Shanhou's suspicions, and his expression grew increasingly grim.
Marquis Wengert, standing beside him, also looked displeased. Back in the Red Sand Empire, when he was a confidant of the Red Sand Emperor, had he ever received such treatment?
Even established ducal families treated him with respect.
But after arriving in the Great Yin Empire, he was clearly just playing along with someone else's act, but he ended up turning himself into a clown who jumped around and ended up getting slapped in the face.
