Now that Zhao Fu controlled the four most important people in Rock Country, the next step was to deal with the lords. Because it was a feudal system, it was unknown how many lords there were. The number of lords with titles numbered in the tens of thousands.
Among these lords, there was no need to care about the lesser lords. What Zhao Fu cared about were the lords with heavy military power.
Some of them supported the three princes, while others remained neutral and waited for things to change.
Zhao Fu wondered if he could gather them together and control them all.
This way, Zhao Fu could easily control Rock Country without using Qin's military power. This would reduce unnecessary casualties, and he could hide and continue to understand this card world.
After making a decision, Zhao Fu controlled the old king to summon all the lords.
However, the result surprised Zhao Fu. Many lords couldn't come to the kingdom because they had something to do. Zhao Fu wondered if something had been exposed.
Zhao Fu remembered that the old king had said that Rock Country was in a bad situation. It should be because the royal family was weak and couldn't suppress these lords. That was why they didn't dare to come.
If it was a normal country, the king would order many lords to come. Otherwise, they would be abolished. No lord dared to not come. This was the authority of the king.
The old king originally wanted to marry his daughter to the Thunder Country and use the power of the Thunder Country to suppress and weaken the lords. However, Zhao Fu ruined his plan, which was why he was so angry.
This was the disadvantage of the feudal system. Zhao Fu wondered why they didn't build a centralized country so that they didn't have to worry about the danger of the lords. However, why did most people choose the feudal system?
Zhao Fu thought about it. This was related to the thinking of the people in the Cocker Clan World. They had to get territory to be loyal to someone. It was also related to the rules of the Cocker Clan World.
Without controlling these Greater Rulers, Zhao Fu did not dare to proclaim Hilary as Queen, or else these people might use this opportunity to rebel.
Now, it was clear from their attitude. The king summoned them, but they didn't come. Did they think that the old king wouldn't dare to do anything to them because they had more people?
This was indeed the case. If the King didn't dare to abolish a large number of nobles, these nobles would definitely refuse to accept it and rebel. If there were too many nobles, the Kingdom would be in danger of being destroyed.
Zhao Fu thought for a moment and decided to control the few lords who were willing to come. Then, he ordered his men to gather the kingdom's soldiers.
The faces of the Lords of Rock Country changed when they heard the news. They originally thought that the old king had suddenly summoned them because of a major change. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for the king to summon all the lords.
But when they asked around, nothing had happened. What was the purpose of the king summoning them? Everyone was very suspicious, and after knowing that a few lords with large armies wouldn't go, they didn't go.
Now that they heard that the king's army was gathering, they were even more surprised. The old king felt like he wanted to attack them.
Naturally, they wouldn't just stand there and wait to be beaten. They quickly gathered their troops and prepared to defend against the kingdom's army.
These were the thoughts of some of the greater Lords. They had enough strength, so they were quite confident. However, some of the lesser Lords were quite terrified because they did not have the strength to defend against the Kingdom's army.
The kingdom's army was a Kingdom's most elite army, and it was much more powerful than their local armies.
Seeing everyone's reactions, Zhao Fu gave a trace of a smile, and he planned to pick out some soldiers to act as guards.
He didn't have any intention of attacking those lords. After all, they were much more powerful than the king's army, and they would be at a disadvantage.
Since they didn't dare to come, Zhao Fu planned to go over. He would use touring the territory as an excuse and only bring 3,000 soldiers as guards. They wouldn't be afraid anymore.
After hearing this, the various lords let out a sigh of relief. They didn't want the Kingdom of Rock to fall into chaos, as it wouldn't be beneficial to them.
Their combined strength was more powerful than the kingdom's army, but they were divided into different lords, and there were conflicts and grievances between them. If the Kingdom of Rock fell into chaos, they wouldn't be able to unite, and they would split.
The surrounding Kingdoms wouldn't give up on this opportunity, and they would definitely take this opportunity to devour the Kingdom of Rock. When that time came, they would have nothing.
Zhao Fu first brought his people to the most powerful lord, the Ferro family. The Ferro family's ancestor was one of the founding fathers of the Kingdom of Rock and had obtained a very large territory. After hundreds of years of development, they had become the most powerful lord in the Kingdom of Rock and the most threatening faction.
The royal army gave off a powerful and dignified aura as they arrived at the Ferro family's territory.
At that moment, the leader of the Ferro family was waiting in front of the castle with his people. His attitude was quite ordinary and didn't seem very respectful at all. It was as if he was waiting for the old King on equal footing.
The leader was a dignified-looking middle-aged man. He stood there ramrod straight and looked quite ambitious.
There were three beautiful women standing next to him. One was incredibly beautiful and had long, crimson hair. She wore a red dress, one had a mature figure and gave off a virtuous aura. She wore a dark blue dress, and one wore a white dress and gave off a gentle and quiet aura.
There were also five or six young men and women standing next to them. The older ones seemed to be in their twenties, while the younger ones were only three or four years old.
Most of the people around him were important members of the Filo Family, as well as the guards.
Zhao Fu and the old King sat within a luxurious carriage.
The old King sat there like a puppet, not moving at all. Zhao Fu opened the curtains and looked at the people from the Ferro family.
The group slowly arrived at the castle, and Zhao Fu controlled the old King to get off the carriage while he acted like a guard and followed beside him.
The leader of the Ferro family gave a courteous smile as he said, "Your Majesty chose the Ferro family because you trust us. I will take you around my territory and enjoy the scenery."
The old King was currently under Zhao Fu's control, but his consciousness was still in his body. He knew what was going on outside, and he became quite angry.
This was because the leader of the Ferro family had not even bowed to him. Moreover, the Kingdom of Rock most likely belonged to the royal family, while the Ferro family treated the territory as their own and treated him as a guest.
Zhao Fu ignored the old King's anger and controlled the old King to smile as he said, "Mm! This will be my last patrol, so I'll choose you, who I trust the most. "
The leader of the Ferro family smiled as he said, "Your Majesty, I've already prepared a banquet to welcome you. Please come, Your Majesty."
The old King nodded and walked into the castle.
Zhao Fu followed behind him, giving off a very ordinary aura. No one paid any attention to Zhao Fu's existence, and Zhao Fu did not say anything either.
After arriving at the castle's hall, there were many tables that were a few meters long, and there was a sumptuous feast on them.
