In the next few days, the news of the arrival of the demon army spread like snowflakes, and Nanhuang County was like an old scalper stuck in a quagmire, in danger of being swallowed up at any time.

However, at this moment of despair, exciting news suddenly came.

The county of Meredith will no longer follow the policy of clearing the wilderness with strong walls, and will begin to adopt a defensive counterattack strategy to rid the realm of all demons.

At the same time, news also came out from Fort Duncan, and Duke Edmund also launched a counterattack, which was bound to eliminate all the demons in the barren land within half a year.

The two giants acted at the same time and took the lead in launching a wave of counterattacks against the demons.

Of course, it will be a long process, perhaps months, or even years.

However, it is undeniable that this news is a huge encouragement to people's hearts, at least let the soldiers and civilians of Nanhuang County see the hope of defeating the demons.

Two days later, the griffon knights, who had gone after Viscount Colin, flew back, but they were unable to apprehend each other.

Larry tossed the bloodstained family crest representing the Robbins family on Renard's desk: "When we arrived, we found only the remains of vehicles and corpses, and no one was spared Viscount Colin himself and his family. ”

Renard looked at the family emblem, showing a sarcastic look on his face: "Spread the news to all the members of the Anti-Demon Alliance, don't tell them the truth, just say that I sent someone to intercept them." ”

Larry opened his mouth, and finally nodded yes.

The news of the murder of Viscount Colin and his relatives spread quickly, and only a few people knew the truth, and those who did not know the truth believed that Renard had beheaded this despicable man by exercising his authority as governor.

Countless people rejoiced at the news, and Renard's name spread throughout the southern part of the kingdom, and he finally gained the approval of the majority of the people as the powerless governor and guardian of the realm.

However, the noble lords were worried, and anyone with an extra boss on their head would not be comfortable.

Not long after the good news spread, the bad news also came.

"What? Viscount Nichols has an accident?" Reynard's eyes were full of shock: "What's the situation, tell me in detail." ”

The Griffin Knight reported in a hurried tone, "Today is our third special service team ordered to patrol, and I ...... when I patrol to Viscount Nichols"

The griffon knight told everything he saw.

Last night, thousands of demons suddenly appeared within the Viscount of Nichols, and they raided the city, causing a large number of casualties.

The Viscount was as greedy as Viscount Colin, taking advantage of the demonic disaster to squeeze all the property of the people.

However, he is obviously more greedy than Viscount Colin, not to mention the money, and dreams of surviving this difficult time with the help of the Anti-Demon Alliance and continuing to be his lord in peace.

However, Operation Cleared by the Walls of the County of Meredith shattered his illusions, and after Renard shrank his forces, demons began to roam the wasteland with impunity.

Coincidentally, it crashed directly into the territory of Viscount Nichols last night.

The shoddy weaponry and shoddy walls failed to serve any defensive effect, and overnight, the once-thriving town became a living hell, with less than forty percent of the people taking advantage of the chaos to escape.

Renard clenched his fists and said in a solemn tone, "What about the others? Where are the people now?"

The griffin knight said truthfully, "Run!"

Immediately afterward, he added: "Caught again." ”

The fate of Viscount Colin is vivid, the viscount is afraid of the East Window incident, and he does not dare to ask other lords for help, he has a fluke mentality, and flees with his property and family overnight.

He himself thought he was clever and wanted to escape by ship from the small port in the southern part of the Barrens to the Duchy of Fettery, and then to the other continents by sea.

It's a pity that this viscount's life is not good, and as soon as he entered the range of Duncanburg, he was discovered and arrested by the knights of the night watch.

If he hadn't joined the Southern Anti-Demon Alliance, his actions would have been excusable, and at most he would have been stripped of his title and territory, and spurned.

However, he joined the Anti-Demon Alliance, signed a joint anti-demon agreement, and received strong support from the alliance in terms of materials.

At such a critical moment, instead of protecting his people, he used lies to squeeze his property and abandon his people at a dangerous moment, which is simply outrageous.

However, the other party is a lord after all, and Duke Edmund has no right to dispose of it, so he kicks the ball to Renard.

The griffin knight said, "We have brought him and his family back for the Governor's disposal." ”

Renard took a deep breath, and although he wanted to kill the other party directly, he knew that he couldn't do it: "Deprive him of his title and land, and send it to Earl Shelley for disposal." ”

As the governor of the Southern Wilderness and the guardian of the entire territory of Arthur's kingdom, he has the same appointment and dismissal powers as the king, so he has the right to deprive the other party of his title and territory.

And throwing it to Earl Shelley to deal with is to show his attitude: You can solve the affairs of your Anti-Demon Alliance by yourself, even if I am the governor, I will not interfere.

Earl Shelley naturally knew what he meant, and was honored to accept the gift.

I heard that this viscount refused to admit his mistake after being sent to Hammer City, the headquarters of the Anti-Demon Alliance, and kept emphasizing that this was a shameful conspiracy, a conspiracy to deprive the Nichols family of their titles and territories in disguise.

Even in the face of hard evidence, he still has no intention of repenting, but his quibbles are meaningless, after all, he has been deprived of his title and land.

So Earl Shelley, after combining the opinions of other members of the Anti-Demon Alliance, sentenced him to death by hanging, and made it public.

On the day of the execution, the central square of Hammer City was filled with people who wanted to witness the death of the nobles and see if they were like ordinary people.

During this time, the viscount's family tried to rescue them, but they were brutally beaten by the lords.

The viscount was eventually sent to the gallows, and it was not until the rope was around his neck that he knew he was afraid, and no longer shouted that there was any conspiracy or conspiracy, but that he was on his knees and begged for mercy.

But the rope was too short for him to kneel down at all, so he cried out without crouching: "Let me go!

The foul-smelling liquid ran down his trouser legs, and the Earl of Shelley couldn't see it, so he covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and ordered the guards beside him, "Hurry up and execute." ”

When the words fell, the great nobles who once sat on hundreds of square kilometers died directly.

Earl Shelley sighed in his heart, and glanced at the surrounding several nobles who came to watch the execution, he knew very well that the hanging person in front of him would definitely not be the last nobleman to be executed, and there should be many more in the future.
