THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 82: BETRAYAL
The faces of everyone in that place immediately changed, however betrayal was a huge crime. At least almost all the kingdoms in the world must have given severe punishments to traitors, the previous Cavalry Kingdom also applied the same rules to punish traitors. Therefore, everyone was convinced that the Azeroth Kingdom must have a severe punishment as well for traitors, not even strange to impose the death penalty.
Everyone knows that as long as Myro's words are true, the Noem Family is over. Every traitor must be in the grave law, even the Grand Duke Family will be destroyed when they are punished for treason.
Under everyone's curious gaze, Myro took out a pile of paper from Falka behind him and showed it to everyone, the piles of paper are evidence of iron trade between the Noem Family and various merchants or other people "The Noem Family is known to hide the existence of an iron mine near the City of Loth from the Kingdom of Azeroth, though they are not nobles here but they manage the iron mine itself and sell it without paying taxes or getting permission from the kingdom".
"Even so, they still committed another crime of selling some of the iron from the mines to the Orc-Goblin Kingdom. As everyone knew, most of the iron was used as weapons or armor, so the Noem Family's action was none other than to strengthen the Orc-Goblin Kingdom which was an enemy of Azeroth Kingdom. They did this without the permission of the kingdom, this is a traitor".
"What's worse, they're doing all this to enrich themselves and leave a lot of people hungry. Not only did it arrive, based on information from my troops who had reached the mine, the Noem Family used criminals in custody or the poor as labor in the mine without giving proper food. According to the information I know, tens to hundreds of people died in the mine from starvation!".
The entire population was shocked again, they did hear a lot about the existence of missing people lately, but most of the missing people were poor or have no family. Therefore, some residents do not think too much about it and only further strengthen their guard against the criminal. But who would have thought that the one who did all this was the Noem Family, a figure who had already controlled these 3 cities for so many years.
When the residents were planning to throw stones or anything towards the Noem Family, Myro raised his hand "Wait a moment, I know that you all must be angry! This action of the Noem Family is not the action of humans, these are all actions of demons! Yet we cannot kill them recklessly, let the court of Azeroth Kingdom impose the proper punishment on them".
Myro had reason to give the Noem Family to the court, the purpose of which was that he might be able to get an award from this or attract the attention of other Azeroth Kingdom higher-ups.
However, the news of Myro capturing the traitors of Azeroth Kingdom must have spread if he had given it to the court, whereas if Myro had killed them now, then, the news of him arresting a traitor must have only been a small piece of news unknown to many rather than handing it over to the court.
In addition, Myro also had to report the existence of the mine to the kingdom. Although Myro was a nobleman here so that he could manage and sell these mines by himself, but there was still a mine tax that had to be paid to the Kingdom of Azeroth every year.
If Myro kept the mine secret and paid no taxes, as long as the news was known to the nobles or other Azeroth Kingdom government people then Myro might be arrested for fraud and embezzlement. So it is better to pay a little tax each year so that he can manage the mine without any problems.
Hearing Myro's words, the residents suppressed their anger and looked back at Myro again.
Many people became interested, after all they only needed to work in the mine without having to worry about crop failure. Then if Myro's words are true, they can get food and a very profitable monthly salary.
"Alright, today's announcement is quite up here! From now on all the wealth of the Noem Family will be taken back by the government for their crimes, I hope your support for managing Loth City will be even better. Long live the Kingdom of Azeroth, long live King Azeroth V!", cried Myro who raised his fist, as the noble of the Kingdom of Azeroth, at least Myro should show his loyalty.
"Life the Kingdom of Azeroth! Long live King Azeroth V! Longevity Baron Myro!", shouted the surrounding residents excitedly, they could finally see an opportunity to clear the food crisis problem that had been troubling them all along. In the eyes of the current residents, Myro was a good leader.
Myro slightly smiled before descending from the stage with Falka.
Myro's goal is to make today's meeting fulfilled, this meeting aims to show the population that Myro is a good leader, Feld as the new mayor, new rules about free food and land, and the government is not going to do anything, then the most important thing is to show that the power of the Noem Family in 3 cities is over. The person who became the leader now was no longer the Noem Family, but rather a young Baron from the Azeroth Kingdom, Myro Aras.
However the Noem Family had already controlled this region for decades, therefore the residents still considered them as rulers rather than the existence of a new Baron.
But with the meeting Myro had today, everyone knew that the Noem Family was over and it was time for the new leader, Baro Myro to show his strength.
After the meeting, the residents went to their homes or prepared the fields while talking about their new Baron.
As a large population considers Myro as a good leader, wise and firm to punish the guilty, an example is the Noem Family.
Not even Myro's story spread quickly to the surrounding towns of Vendes City and Rorec City.
Myro who knew the rapid spread of the news let him, however this was the main purpose of Myro starting the meeting, with this then everyone in Loth City, was, The city of Vendes and the City of Rorec must have realized that their new leader was the Baron of the Kingdom of Azeroth, Myro Aras, no longer the Noem Family or the Sild Family that has existed for a long time in the 3rd region of the city.
