Chapter 928: The Nobles Who Would Rather Die than Retreat

Gennady knows best what kind of people these nobles are.

He put on an awe-inspiring look and said the most noble words, but what he was thinking about was his own selfish desires.

Although they kept saying that they wanted to defend Ariel and defend the dignity of the Holy Hiran Empire, Gennadi understood that the reason why these nobles wanted to defend Ariel was not for these such righteous reasons.

The reason why they wanted to defend Ariel was because of their family's industry.

These nobles have lived in Ariel for generations, and their family properties have long spread across Ariel.

If they were to evacuate, most of their property would not be taken away and would become the spoils of the Britannian army.

In order to protect their family property, this group of nobles insisted that Gennady defend Ariel.

To be honest, Gennady really wanted to give these worms a punch each time they were still thinking about their family business when the disaster was imminent.

But he can't do that.

Although these nobles do not do anything practical, their political power and status are extremely powerful.

It was so powerful that even Gennady, the lord of Ariel City, could not disobey this group of nobles too much.

If Gennady does not follow the wishes of this group of nobles, these nobles will have many ways to make the rest of Gennady's life no longer easy.

Therefore, even if the suggestion of this group of nobles to stick to Ariel was extremely absurd, Gennady could only hold on to his temper, bite the bullet and persuade these nobles to change their minds.

After patiently listening to the reprimands given to him by the nobles headed by Grand Duke Chishoval, Gennady calmed down his anger and impatience, and bit the bullet and once again persuaded these nobles so that they could See the current situation clearly.

However - Gennady failed again today.

The nobles still couldn't listen to Gennady's advice.

This group of nobles who had no access to food or salt made Gennady begin to wonder whether nobles were a species with a naturally lower IQ than ordinary people.

Today's meeting broke up unhappy once again.

Gennady walked slowly towards his residence with a dark face and hands behind his back.

——How on earth can I convince these people? Apart from holding us back,

A moth that can't do anything...

Even on the way back to his residence, Gennady was still thinking about how to convince the nobles.

At this moment, a panicked official walked quickly towards Gennady.

Gennady was very familiar with this official, because Gennady gave this official an important task, which was to coordinate the scouts to find out the latest intelligence of the Britannia Army.

"Your Excellency the City Lord."

After the official came to Gennadi's side, he put his lips to Gennadi's ear, lowered his voice and whispered to Gennadi:

"The Britannia Army is closer to us..."

"The vanguard of the Britannia Army is only about 30 miles away from Ariel..."

Upon hearing the number "30", Gennady's pupils shrank suddenly, his steps staggered, and he almost fell to the ground.

"Are we so close already..." Gennady gritted his teeth, his face as green as if water was dripping from his face, "If we don't retreat, it will be too late..."

Gennadi, who already felt that the situation was extremely serious, suddenly had a bold plan in his mind.

"...Help me inform Semyon and Yuri." Gennady said in a deep voice to the official beside him, "Let the two of them gather in the meeting room immediately. I have important orders to inform the two of them."

Semyon and Yuri - both of them are high-ranking officials in the city of Ariel. They are in charge of Ariel's finance and military respectively. They are Gennady's right-hand man.

After giving this order, Gennady continued to walk towards the meeting room with a sullen face and his hands behind his back...

…

…

That night.

Teams of soldiers rushed towards the mansions of the nobles in Ariel City.

These soldiers are all Ariel's defenders.

Although each noble's mansion had its own hired guards, the pitifully small number of guards were unable to resist in the face of the large influx of Ariel defenders.

The guards, unable to stop them, could only watch as Ariel's defenders rushed into their employer's mansion.

Facing these soldiers who suddenly rushed into their mansion, the nobles were shocked.

After rushing into the mansions of various nobles, the officers in charge of the team announced Gennady's order to the startled nobles:

"The Britannia Army has approached Ariel and will evacuate Ariel immediately without any objection."

After announcing Gennady's order to the nobles, the officers in charge of leading the team took their soldiers and used slightly rough methods to urge the nobles to pack their luggage and prepare to leave Ariel overnight.

If he had a choice, Gennady would very much like to abandon this group of hopeless nobles and only lead the officials and defenders in the city to flee with their valuables.

But Gennady couldn't do that.

If he abandons these nobles, he will definitely be executed even if he escapes to a safe place.

Therefore, no matter how reluctant he was, Gennadi could only ask the defenders in the city to go to the mansions of various nobles and force all the nobles in the city to flee with them.

Send out the city's garrison and force all the nobles to flee with them - this is the bold plan that Gennady came up with after hearing that the Britannia army was only 30 miles away from them during the day.

Gennady decided to go for it.

Although he might be criticized by the nobles later, it was better than staying in Ariel and waiting to die with the nobles.

After learning that Gennady wanted to force them to flee, the nobles, led by Grand Duke Zishuval, naturally resisted fiercely.

But after the soldiers pulled out the long swords from their waists, the nobles immediately became quiet, cursing and packing their luggage.

When asking the soldiers to go to the mansions of various nobles, Gennady gave them a power - if any noble dared to disobey, they could draw their swords directly.

Gennady had been dealing with these nobles for many years, so he knew very well that these nobles were just a bunch of guys who were soft and afraid of hard things. As long as the long swords were revealed from the scabbards, they would be obedient.

Gennady set the meeting place at the east gate of Ariel.

Officials of all levels had already gathered at the east gate of Ariel with their luggage.

Officials of all levels in Ariel were not very rich, so they did not have too much luggage and property to pack. The officials with the most luggage just filled up a carriage.

But this group of nobles was different.

After asking the soldiers to forcibly bring the nobles, the nobles of all sizes in the city also rushed to the meeting place with their temporarily packed luggage.

The luggage carried by these nobles opened Gennady's eyes.
