Four hundred and sixteenth chapter sparks of fire
As time passes, the fluctuations caused by the Western Wilderness gradually subside.
Not to mention how the Holy Church will appease those angry envoys. Anyway, for ordinary civilians, this is just a sudden disaster. No matter what the cause is, life will still go on. So.
After complaining, they packed up their things and began to focus on the winter ahead. After all, the cold winter was right around the corner, and this was more important than anything else.
However, some places are not so peaceful.
"Crack!!"
The crystal glass wine glass was thrown to the ground, making a crisp sound and then smashing into pieces. The bright red wine overflowed from it, soaking into the expensive gauze gold carpet in front of him like blood. This also means that this road starts from the west coast of Erlenherz.
After traveling thousands of miles to be transported here, the blanket, which was worth thousands of dollars, was scrapped and had no use anymore.
"It's been a whole month, Natsu, but you're telling me that you haven't solved the trouble in the Kalkaran area yet?"
Doant Soros was sitting on a chair, and the layers on his body were trembling with anger, making him look like a pile of trembling fat. In front of him, wearing a knight's armor,
The man squatted there respectfully, with a sullen face and remained silent.
It’s no wonder that Doant is so angry. As the seventh son of the Soros family, he is not a capable person. In fact, he doesn’t even know why the Soros family insisted on provoking a war with the Gold Empire after they retreated.
The civil war in the Parwood family, but he knew enough not to ask. As the saying goes, a person must be self-aware. He knew his position in the Soros family and what kind of person he was, so he never asked for things that he couldn't get.
Instead, he tried his best to obey his father's orders. Because of this, he was able to live a safe and leisurely life on this land.
After receiving the news that the family requested to collect logistical supplies, Doant naturally sent his men out to plunder without hesitation. Of course he knew that the civilians did not have much food in their hands - the Kalkaran region this year
The harvest was the same as usual. In fact, they had already harvested food once when they were fighting against the Golden Empire, and now the civilians only had the minimum amount of food left. But in Doant's view, what does this matter?
After all, they are just a group of civilians. Even if they have no food, wouldn't it be the same as chewing grass roots? Besides, they are so good at digging the mud in the ground, maybe they can survive by eating some dirt.
What's more, even if he dies, it has nothing to do with him.
Of course, this naturally aroused resistance from the civilians, which Doant expected, but it didn't matter. Based on his understanding of the civilians, no matter how loud the civilians shouted, it would be useless to organize the cavalry to come forward.
After one charge, they will be frightened and flee in all directions. They are just a bunch of rabble, not worth mentioning at all.
But this time things are a little different.
First, a group of private soldiers sent by Doant to the Kalkaran area were eliminated - this made Doant quite annoyed. You must know that in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he also sent a mage to accompany him. As a result, he would be killed
Everyone was wiped out. This also completely angered this walking fat guy, so he upgraded his rank and sent his own guard captain to personally lead half a squadron of soldiers to encircle and suppress them. Logically speaking, this time
It really should have been foolproof. But what made Doante shocked and angry was that his own guard captain also failed!!
Not only that, the news from the guard captain surprised Doant even more, that is, those civilians actually assembled an army, claiming to defeat themselves and overthrow the brutal rule of the Soros family in Kirkland?
!!
The first time he heard the news, Doant suspected that he was drunk, and then he suspected that the other party was drunk. "Those commoners" claimed to overthrow the rule of a noble in his legal territory?
This news sounded even more absurd to Doant than when the sun rises from the west.
If that's all it is, then for Doant, this is nothing more than a joke. But the problem is that the other party seems to be not just talking, they even put up a banner called "Freedom Army for National Salvation"
.Started wandering in the wilderness areas of those towns and attacked every team sent by Doant to collect food and taxes. This almost made Doant furious, although he also knew that he was not a capable person.
Not many people in the Soros family think highly of him, but they are all nobles, and now, these guys are just a group of civilians. A group of civilians!! A group of lowly civilians!! Just a group of beasts!! When has he seen it?
A grazed lamb turns on its owner?!!
This is really counter-intuitive! It’s so counter-intuitive!!
"Then, that mob...who is the leader?"
"Your Majesty, according to our investigation, the leader's name is Oldman. He was once the police captain of a village in the Kalkaran region."
"Guard Captain?"
Hearing this, the fat on Doant's face trembled.
"Then what's his life experience?"
"According to our investigation, his ancestors seem to have been farming there."
"…………"
After hearing the guard captain's answer, Doant picked up his pipe and took two puffs. Then he stood up slowly. Although he didn't say a word, the guard captain who was half-kneeling in front of him hurriedly lowered his head.
.Based on his understanding of his master, this is a precursor to his outbreak.
Sure enough, the next moment, the volcano erupted.
"A peasant bitch!! You mean, that man is not a descendant of a knight, nor is he a down-and-out noble. There is no noble noble blood flowing in his body at all! He is just the lowest,
Farmer’s bitch!! Are you saying that this is the person who raised the flag against me!!?”
Doant raised his hands angrily and waved them vigorously. He felt that he was deeply insulted. If the other party was once a down-and-out noble, or his ancestors had some glorious achievements, then he would still be able to accept it.
But the other party is just a farmer! Just a farmer! This feels to Doante as if he has insulted his pride as a noble, no, as a human being! It is like a person is forced to lie on the ground
Go up and deal with the provocation of a mad dog!!
What a humiliating thing this is!!
And now, this stray dog actually wants to resist him!!
"This is simply unreasonable!! Call everyone immediately, no, call my team of hunters!! Eradicate those people in one fell swoop!! Destroy them all. Everyone!!"
"But sir, many villagers in the Kalkaran area have joined his team now..."
"Then kill them all. From the oldest to the youngest, not a single one is left!! I will let their corpses hang all over the block, I will let their corpses float on the city walls, and I will let those who dare to resist me understand,
What will happen if you resist a nobleman!!"
"But sir, we don't have enough troops in the rear. Most of the troops have been sent to the front. If you insist on sending the Chasseurs, then we probably don't have enough protection..."
The captain of the guard did not finish what he said, because he saw Doant suddenly turning around and staring at him with bloodshot eyes. For a moment, this short and fat nobleman actually gave people a feeling similar to that of a bullfight.
A canine sense of threat.
"You mean...don't those mobs still dare to attack a noble's castle?"
"…………"
The guard captain did not speak, but it could be seen from his expression that he obviously thought so.
"you……………"
Looking at his personal guard captain, Doant couldn't help but feel angry. He stretched out his hand to point at the other person, and was about to say something. Suddenly, a series of rapid footsteps sounded, and then the door was knocked hard.
There was a sound, and Doant was pushed away without waiting for a response. Then he saw a messenger rushing in out of breath.
"Report, report to your lord, something serious has happened!!!"
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Seeing the pale expression of the messenger, Doant frowned, and then asked. Although he was quite annoyed that the messenger rushed in without waiting for his notification, and even wanted to issue an order to have him
He dragged him down and had a whipping, but looking at his appearance, Doant was keenly aware that something terrible must have happened. When he heard his inquiry, the messenger took a few deep breaths.
, and then he calmed down. Then he raised his head and looked at Doant, and said with a pale face.
"Then. Those mobs calling themselves the 'National Salvation Freedom Army' launched an attack on Reed Fort and have already captured it!"
"What did you say!!?"
Hearing this, Doant and the guard captain widened their eyes in surprise, staring at the messenger in front of them. Reed Castle is a small castle on the outskirts of the Kalcalan region. Although it is only a small fortress, it is
It represents the glory of the Soros family!! And now, those mobs actually dared to attack Reed Fort and capture it?
"Where is Sir Setas?! What is he doing!!"
"Sir Setas...has died in the line of duty..."
"What!!?"
Faced with this news, Doante finally could no longer remain calm. Setas was a knight from the Soros family, and now, he was actually killed by a group of mobs?
"It makes no sense, it simply makes no sense!!"
At this moment, Doante was furious.
"Where did they get the courage! They actually dared to attack the Soros family. They are really rebelling! They are rebelling!!"
People are already on the opposite side...
Hearing Doant's nonsense, the guard captain shook his head helplessly, then he frowned, thought for a moment, and then asked.
"How many people are there on the other side?"
After hearing this question, Doant also calmed down. Indeed, although Reed Castle is a small castle, it is still a castle. Logically speaking, the mob can only have a hundred people at most. How can it be possible to capture the next castle? So the question
Here we go, how many people are there in these mobs?
"I don't know, sir, three hundred...five hundred...maybe more!!"
