Kill! Crazy killing!

The number of dinars in the system was beating rapidly, and hundreds or thousands of dollars were coming in almost every second, which was enough to show how defeated the demon army was.

This is an unprecedented victory, and Renard's name will spread throughout Arthur's kingdom beyond the Southern Wilderness.

Lei Ye should be grateful to Baron Margani who escaped from the battle, it was he who indirectly killed Salur, if it wasn't for his escape to divert the attention of the Babademon commander, I'm afraid Ray Dawang would not be able to assassinate the other party easily.

And the two commanders-in-chief died and fled, which indirectly contributed to this rout.

Thinking of this, Renard suddenly realized something, and he turned his head to look at Ray Dawang in surprise: "You are good at assassination?"

Ray Dawang did not deny it: "I used to be a scout in the army, and I know a little about fur, but this time, thanks to the invisibility cloak, it can actually hide my body and hide the aura on my body, I have to say, it's a good thing." ”

He did not hesitate to praise himself, and the word good rarely appeared in his mouth, which is enough to show how great the role of the cloak of invisibility was in this assassination.

Renard nodded, and then asked a little out of tune, "You didn't use it to do anything illegal, did you?"

Ray Dawang: "......"

Renard shook his head and smiled, explaining, "Just kidding. ”

The people mounted their griffons and flew towards the city.

Expecting a fierce battle, Arka and Mark and Lauren were all called by him, but they just watched the fleeting assassination performance.

Of course, this is the best, and he values the result, not the process.

The five of them landed on griffons in the central square, which was crowded with excited citizens.

As soon as Renard appeared, a deafening cheer rang out in the air, as if the whole city was singing the praises of the great Governor Renard and the great Lord Heidi.

Several sergeants came to Lei Ye with each other's arms, kneeling on one knee with tears in their eyes, their voices choked instantly, they originally wanted to express their gratitude, but now they couldn't say anything.

Renard motioned for them to get up, and then said to the commander of the Fourth Knights, "Get a military doctor to bandage the wounds of the wounded and check if there are any remaining demons." ”

The commander of the 4th Cavalry Regiment was named Daniel Karami, a heroic man in his fifties.

He has the strength of a mid-level fighting martial artist, is a good friend of Henry and Cliffor, and is also a close confidant of Heidi, so he was awarded the position of head of the regiment.

This person is a rare general, and Lei Ye even has the heart to promote him to the commander of the army.

When Daniel heard this, he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I've already sent all the people out to ensure that no one will slip through the net." ”

Renard nodded, more and more satisfied with the performance of this Daniel captain.

Then there was an extremely important matter for him to deal with, and that was to greet the baron who was cowering in the castle.

Killing intent faintly burst out from his eyes, as the governor of Southern Wilderness County and the guardian of the entire territory of Arthur's Kingdom, he has the right to punish all the lords of Southern Wilderness County.

Although this Baron Douglas's actions did not violate the wartime regulations and any laws, his inaction of allowing his people to be slaughtered by demons has deeply touched the bottom line of Lord Douglas.

Especially when he came all the way to the rescue, the baron didn't coordinate at all, he held a heavy army, but he still cowered in his castle.

Even if the city had been breached by demons, he had not shown the slightest mercy or sympathy for the people who were struggling under the butcher's knife, and such lords did not deserve to live.

Captain Daniel seemed to see his thoughts, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Your Excellency, are you going to the castle?"

Renard did not deny it, and said in a solemn tone: "I must punish him, otherwise every lord in the future will be like him, then it is better to let the lords wipe their necks and commit suicide, so as not to suffer the fear and torture brought by the demons." ”

His words contained endless rage, and the act of cowardly cowering in a solid castle instead of defending his homeland and protecting the people who had served him while the demons were raging was outrageous.

Captain Daniel smiled bitterly: "Then how are you going to punish this Baron Douglas and kill him directly, have you considered Earl Shelley's idea, after all, the other party is a member of the Anti-Demon Alliance." ”

Hearing this, Renard gradually reined in his murderous intent, and was silent for a long time, he sighed slightly: "I'm sorry, I was just carried away by anger. ”

Head Daniel shook his head: "No need to apologize, in fact, everyone here wants to break it to pieces, but disgusting politics doesn't allow us to do that." ”

Renard sighed again, apparently the other party's statement was in line with his thoughts: "He is no longer worthy of being a lord, I will deprive him of his title and territory, as for what Earl Shelley will do next, it is their own business." ”

Then Lei Ye took Arka and the others to Baron Douglas's castle, he wanted to see what kind of ridiculous expression this Baron would show when he saw him.

The castle is located on a small hill in the north of the city, and the area is not large, covering only three or four acres, but the city walls are very high, and combined with the slope of the hill, it is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack.

However, if you want to rely on these demons to block tens of thousands of memories, you can't help but be suspicious of using your mantis arm as a car.

When Renard came to the gate of the castle, Baron Douglas realized the seriousness of the matter, and he immediately put down the milk tea and books in his hand, and hurried to the city wall, looking at this group of "uninvited guests" with a nervous face.

Without waiting for Lei Ye to speak first, the other party asked sharply, "Who are you?"

Lei Ye opened his mouth, but he forgot what he wanted to question.

Seeing this, Captain Daniel stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Standing here is His Excellency Renard Duncan, the Governor of Southern Wilderness, the Guardian of the entire territory of Arthur's Kingdom, and the Clerk of the Earl of Meredith. ”

In fact, there was no need for him to remind him, Baron Douglas had already known the identity of Lei Ye, and the inquiry just now was just a subconscious move.

He asked with some weakness, "What are you doing here? This is the territory of our Rafal family!"

Seeing that he was about to fight as a trapped beast, Renard directly sneered and said: "From now on, it will not be, as the governor of the Southern Wilderness County and the guardian of the entire territory of the Arthur Kingdom, I will deprive you of the fief and title of the Rafal family." ”

Baron Douglas was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed and said: "What are you, why should I listen to you, King Ferdinand doesn't want the Great Southern Wasteland anymore, you bullshit governor ......"

Before he could finish his words, he heard two loud bangs from below, and then the heavy gates of the castle were instantly torn apart under the stunned eyes of everyone.

Ray Dawang put away his sword with an indifferent expression and said in a more bland tone: "I don't think there's any need to waste words with this kind of person. ”

Renard had no intention of entering the castle, and he said to the mercenaries and adventurers on the city walls: "From now on, the Barony of Rafal is officially part of the county of Meredith, and now you get out of my territory. ”

He didn't show the slightest mercy to the mercenaries and adventurers, in fact, with his current power, he could completely ignore the other party.

After speaking, Lei Ye turned around and left directly, and added coldly before leaving: "I will only give you half an hour." ”

The mercenaries and adventurers looked at each other, and although they were extremely dissatisfied with this contempt in their hearts, there was no room for resistance except for secretly arranging a few words.

So after settling the employment fee with Baron Douglas, they all left Rafal in disgrace, and did not forget to take with them a few valuable decorations from the castle before leaving.

Reynard didn't bother to care about the next thing, but just ordered Daniel: "Don't let people kill him." ”

Daniel looked undeniable: "Please rest assured, I will keep the best soldiers and the most skilled medic by my side." ”

In the castle's study, Baron Douglas paced back and forth angrily and in fear, and after the mercenaries and adventurers left, there were only six dog-legged people left beside him: "What should I do?"

His heart is dripping blood, is his territory just being occupied by others?

Baron Douglas did not consider at all that it was actually he who gave up the territory first, and he was still thinking about how to agitate the people of the territory at this time, and use public opinion to deny Renard's order.

But will the people of Rafal be on his side?

Just as Baron Douglas racked his brains to reclaim the territory, the citizens who got the hint angrily pried open the castle doors and windows and stormed into the palatial castle.

Faced with the crowd of farmers and soldiers, the baron could not help but be shocked: "What are you going to do?"

What are you doing? The emaciated sergeant who took the lead smiled evilly: "Take him out! Kill him!"

As soon as the words fell, Baron Douglas, who originally wanted to make a threat, was grabbed by the hair by the angry lords and directly rushed to the central square, followed by a brutal beating.

In order to prevent the other party from being killed, Commander Daniel wrapped him in two layers of quilts very intimately, and advised: "Your Excellency the Governor said that you are not allowed to use weapons. ”

The crowd obeyed Renard's words, threw away the shovels and pickaxes in their hands, and rushed forward with their fists raised.

Baron Douglas was beaten to the point of crying and crying for his mother, even so, he still had no intention of begging for mercy, and he kept shouting: "I am Baron Douglas, I am the master of Rafal's territory, you pariahs dare to beat me." ”

Captain Daniel stood in the distance and watched this scene, and couldn't help but shake his head, he suddenly remembered a certain song from the Eastern Earth Continent, which matched the situation at this time, and the translation was:

I once saw the warbler crying in the Jinling Jade Palace, and the flowers in the Qinhuai Water Pavilion bloomed early, who knew that it was easy to freeze.

Seeing him raise the Zhu Tower, seeing him feasting guests, seeing his building collapse.

This moss and green tile pile, I once slept and slept well, and I saw the rise and fall of fifty years.

That Wuyi Lane is not surnamed Wang, the ghost of Mochou Lake cries at night, and the phoenix perches on the owl bird.

The dream of the remnant mountain is the truest, and it is difficult to lose the old realm, and I don't believe in this map.

Captain Daniel thought about it, and couldn't help singing it, although it was a little out of tune, but it also had a unique charm in it.

Baron Douglas was knocked unconscious in this somewhat sad little song.

When Commander Daniel saw him fall to the ground, he immediately stopped singing, pointed and said, "Hurry up, stop fighting! If you fight again, you will die!"

Then the angry leader was pulled away, and the military doctor stepped forward to check the situation, and replied: "It's all skin injuries, and it's not in the way." ”

Captain Daniel was relieved when he heard this, but he didn't dare to condone these lords: "Everyone is all dispersed, I believe that Earl Shelley will give you an explanation." ”

As he spoke, he ordered Baron Douglas to be thrown back to the castle and went to Renard himself.

Arka stood beside Renard, looked at the Barons of Rafal who were queuing up to receive food, and asked, "Young Master, what should I do with these people, do you want them to rest and recuperate here, or do you want to bring them back to the territory?"

Renard thought for a moment and said, "Although the demons have retreated, it is likely to return, the city's defenses have been destroyed and cannot resist the massive demon legions at all. ”

Arka understood what Lei Ye meant, and after thinking about it, he said, "It's better to arrange them near Heidi City, where there is still extra land." ”

The county of Meredith now has three large cities, the City of Plenty, the City of Meredith, and the City of Heidi, all of which are large enough to accommodate a population of more than 100,000.

There are also seven small cities that have prospered since the expansion of the town, and there are countless small towns and villages, and it is very easy to arrange a few thousand people in this area.

Renard pondered for a moment, then agreed to his suggestion: "Settle them well, and do your best to help." ”

What a group of ill-fated people, after the outbreak of the demonic plague, they came to the Barony of Rafal to seek refuge, and finally settled down, only to have their home destroyed by the war again.

Mark, who was next to him, heard the conversation between the two and couldn't help asking, "What if someone is unwilling to leave?"

Reynard and Arka looked at each other at the same time, neither of them had ever thought about it.

Mark shrunk his neck and said, "If there were demons outside, they would definitely be willing to follow us, but now that the demons have been beaten away, how many people will be willing to leave their homeland and abandon most of their possessions to go to strange places with us?"

Renard and Arka looked at each other, feeling that the other had a point.

Thinking about it from another perspective, who wants to leave behind half a lifetime or even several generations of family business and go to other cities to work hard with their bare hands?

Reynard pondered for a moment, then asked, "How long will it take to repair the city?"

Commander Daniel came over and replied: "At least half a year, I have just seen that the city wall alone has been destroyed for hundreds of meters, and most of the roads, houses, and defenses have lost the need to repair them, so they can only be demolished and rebuilt. ”

Immediately afterwards, he added: "Our county of Meredith is still developing, the cities and villages need to be repaired and maintained, and the engineering team is building roads and bridges, and there is no manpower to rebuild the city. ”

To sum it up: we can only give up here for the time being.

Captain Daniel sighed: "It's a pity that there are so many fertile fields, I'm afraid we won't be able to completely control this place until we are strong enough." ”

Renard looked at the burning city, not knowing what to think.

After the disaster, the frightened people searched for their loved ones, hugged and cried when they found them, and wept on the ground when they didn't, and the whole city was already covered in crying anyway.

It was getting late, and the people were exhausted after a day and a night, and they were already exhausted, so they were coaxed and persuaded by the knights to go home to rest.

The next day, people wake up early and start tidying up their homes.

The bodies of the fallen were intensively activated, the sandbags and barbed wire that blocked the streets were removed, and the embers of the houses were extinguished, all with the help of griffon knights and cavalrymen, of course.

Half a day later, the city regained its pre-existing appearance, but only the traffic part was restored.

The toppled walls, damaged streets, and collapsed houses are a direct indication of the terrible devastation the city has suffered.

Renard ordered the population to be counted, and the original number of people in the territory was more than 8,000, but now there are less than 3,000 left, which once again aroused his hatred of Baron Douglas.

However, he still didn't kill the other party, but just sent someone to send a message to Earl Shelley: I'll leave you here, send someone to pick it up.

At noon, the survivors gathered in the town hall square, talking to each other, knowing what was about to happen, but still holding the last hope in their hearts.

Many of the older ones had deep worries on their faces, while the young faces were full of excitement.

Renard stepped onto the makeshift platform and said in a deep voice, "I think most of you already know the reason for the Square Meeting, and the county of Meredith will not control this area for the time being. ”

He sighed softly, "This is also a decision made out of desperation, after all, we don't have much manpower to protect this place. ”

The crowd in the audience did not speak, and although they understood it, they could not smile at it.

Renard tried to keep things as simple as possible, leaving time for people to think: "We will leave tomorrow at noon, and if there are anyone willing to leave, please hurry home and pack your things, and meet at the city gate before noon tomorrow." ”

After a long silence, he added again: "As for those who are unwilling to leave, I can only pray that you can live in peace and happiness." ”

After speaking, he turned directly and got off the podium, leaving people with a deep back.

Everyone looked at each other, and then the originally quiet square erupted into a buzzing discussion, and at the same time, there was a faint sound of dispute.

Today is not destined to be peaceful, and I don't know how many people can't sleep tonight.

In the slums to the east of the city, dozens of people are crowded in small clearings, and a soup fire has been lit, on which are improvised iron pots filled with boiled meat and corn.

Young children look at the boiling food with longing eyes.

The adults completely ignored the smell of the food, and all frowned and thought about things, and the atmosphere was a little dreary.

After a while, two uncontrollable coughs broke the silence.

Everyone raised their heads, their eyes focused on several elderly people, and they all sighed when they felt the eyes around them.

The eldest man was smoking his pipe and staring at the fire.

After a long time, the smoke in the pipe was exhausted, and the old man took the pipe and gently knocked it on the stone a few times, and the black soot fell to the ground.

After adding smoke, the old man suddenly spoke: "What are you all doing here, Lord Renard's army will be launched tomorrow, why don't you hurry home and pack your things." ”

Everyone was silent when they heard this, and finally a strong man couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Village Chief, is that Meredith County really as good as the legend?"

Hearing this, the old man's expression was a little complicated, and he sighed: "I don't know if it's good or not, I just know that if I leave here, I can live, and if I stay here, I can only wait for death." ”

The strong man frowned slightly, obviously not very satisfied with the answer.

The woman next to her got up and continued to ask, "The demons have been beaten away, will they really come back?"

It is not difficult to hear from the questions of the crowd that they do not want to leave this land where they were born and raised.

The old man lit a cigarette with an indifferent expression, and after taking two sips, he said, "Then you have to ask the devil, I can't give an answer." ”

The woman choked on these words and sat back in her place.

Next, more and more people asked, and the topic always revolved around the question of whether to leave.

The old man's patience was slowly exhausted, and finally he directly expressed his attitude: "It's your own business whether you can leave or not, anyway, the old man, I still want to live for two more years and have a few more days of peace." ”

With that, he got up and went back to his home, the simple wooden door slammed shut, completely cutting off the noise outside.

The departure of the backbone of the main heart completely confused these dozens of people, and they argued in a few words.

The man who spoke first spoke, "I plan to stay here, anyway, the demons have already been defeated, and the probability of them coming back is not very high." ”

The woman asked, "How can you guarantee that the demons will not return, and even if the army of demons does not come, the wandering little demons will not come?"

The strong man pursed his lips disdainfully when he heard this: "I can kill ten of those things with one hand." ”

The woman sneered, "If that were the case, you wouldn't have left me and the child outside and hid in the cellar by yourself when the devil came." ”

The man's face suddenly turned red, and he said a little angrily, "Where do I have it?"

The woman snorted coldly: "Do you know it in your own heart?" ”

Seeing that the two were arguing, the people next to them hurriedly dissuaded them.

An old man who was also old said: "The village chief is right, you need to choose whether to leave or stay, after all, this is a matter of livelihood, so that some people will not be uncomfortable and always complain about others." ”

As the old man spoke, he looked up at the man and the woman, apparently meant.

The two of them were immediately a little unhappy, and the woman spoke: "Why do you think of us like this, don't we just complain, if it weren't for the village chief, would we have been able to get to where we are today?"

The man chimed in: "That's right, if he hadn't suggested that we move to Rafal, would we be so miserable now?"

The old man was simply defeated by the shamelessness of the two, and he responded to that sentence, not a family, not a family, not a family, the husband and wife are all bastards.

The old man slapped the table hard and said, "You don't like to go, anyway, I follow my old brother, and I will go wherever he says." ”

After speaking, he glanced at everyone: "You go home separately, whether you go or stay, and you will see tomorrow, so as not to complain when you get it." ”

The man and the woman still wanted to make trouble unreasonably, but they were directly glared back by the old man.

Don't look at the old man's age, he was a mercenary when he was young, and now his skills are not bad, and he is like playing with three or five strong men.

Seeing this, the two dared to say anything, and obediently took three bowls of broth and rice and ran away.
