At noon, the steel and wood fort.

Obviously, the castle kitchen alone could not be busy with the wine and meat of nearly a thousand people at this time;

The viscount had no choice but to rely on the help of the other taverns in the city—vats of fine wine were loaded into wagons, and freshly steamed meat gave off a smell that could be smelled across the street;

What made the viscount more dissatisfied was that these shopkeepers were not very "good at things";

Everybody obediently took their money and left!Don't you know that it is quite an honour to help the Viscount at such a time...... This group of guys is definitely not afraid of themselves enough!

"Black Oak, I'll leave the guards of the city to you for the time being. Before leading the condolence procession, the Viscount said to Black Oak at the gate of the castle, "You are the first of the three knights to return to deliver the message;

By the way, you've accumulated a lot of merit for everyone to see, and there is a lack of a baron in the city. ”

Hearing this, Black Oak's eyes lit up.

"I'll talk about it when I get back. The Viscount smiled and patted Black Oak on the shoulder, "Well, I'll ...... first."

Get on the horse and get ready to go;

But to the Viscount's displeasure, the mount, which had been with him for a long time, was reluctant to take a step at this time;

No matter how much the viscount urged, it just wouldn't go any further—and even looked back at the viscount, and the look seemed to be pleading;

Did this guy feel something...... Viscount struggled to control his expression;

"Why don't you just ride it down?" Black Oak flattered quite keenly, "This beast is carefully taken care of by Lord Viscount on weekdays, but it turns out that it is so useless when it comes to a critical time!"

“...... Well. "Even if the horses are afraid, they can't back down - after all, so many people are watching their side!

Thinking so, Viscount Coldcone changed into a black oak warhorse, and then set off with the team all the way to the city.

The huge condolence procession with the horse-drawn convoy will naturally attract the attention of passers-by on the main road;

Hancone looked at the passers-by, who looked quite as he expected.

No one dared to show contempt for the team, and no one dared to look at the cold cone.

That's enough, you don't have to make them like it, you just need to get the soldiers to support you, Coldcone thought;

The nobles of other cities may not have such great power as themselves, and they will rule over the more prosperous cities, and it is enough to make the people there like them......

Thinking so, Han Cone led the team all the way to the city gate, and then glanced back;

Steel and Wood City, after all, is still too small, and it is completely incomparable with the Earl City I have seen before, and the Marquis City that I have only heard of and never visited;

This is just a starting point, and I will soon have a broader, more glorious road......

Afterwards, Hancone and his party left the city and entered the village of Steelwood.

The village was uninhabited and had just been ravaged by demonic beasts, and even the city was a little cold, and the expression was becoming more and more disgusted.

Let's get the job done.

Viscount Coldcone led his party in the direction of the farmland, where the soldiers had already learned of the Viscount's coming to offer condolences, and had come down from the watchtower and lined up;

The number of knights in the city was limited, and many of the watchtowers were led by the ten-commander;

Hancone nodded to them with a calm smile on his face, but in fact...... He wasn't very familiar with these people.

Perhaps there are people within the soldiers who intend to rebel against them. Cold Cone thought;

The gates have been closed lately, so people who rebel against them can't come from out of town, right?

In this way, it should be some soldiers who are trying to pretend to be gods and fool people.

Of course, there are still trustworthy people here—the deputy of the Black Oak Knight, the Knight of Zhuozhi;

He stood respectfully near the first watchtower that the viscount had inspected, and judging by the smile on his face and the impatience with which he hurried his horses, he would have run to the gate and wait for the viscount if he had not feared being perceived as dereliction of duty.

"Lord Viscount, it's really our honor that you can take time out of your busy schedule to see the soldiers!" Zhuo Zhi stopped in front of the Viscount's horse with a smile on his face, "Steel and Wood City is really blessed to have a lord like you, blessed ——!."

He waved his hand and motioned for Zhuo Zhi to follow him;

Several soldiers then jumped out of the wagon and began to distribute the meat and wine to the soldiers in the procession.

"Enjoy, thank you for your dedication to Steelwood City. The viscount said to the soldiers in a deep voice, and the soldiers were naturally moved, and nodded their heads in thanks;

That's fine, thought the viscount, and the next thing to do was to go ahead and reward the soldiers of the other towers;

Zhuo Zhi followed the Viscount and marched towards the second watchtower, and in order to show his ability, Zhuo Zhi kept chattering about the achievements of the Eastern Front—and by the way, he would praise the Viscount;

The Viscount doesn't have a good impression of Zhuo Zhi, and although he can speak well, it's a pity that he doesn't have much ability.

"With the Viscount's reward, these soldiers will—"

"Okay, I have a question for you. The Viscount couldn't help but interrupt Zhuo Zhi's rainbow fart

"How much do you know about what happened last night...... Speak up as soon as possible!"

Zhuo Zhi suddenly disappeared like a match thrown into a water tank;

Isn't it equivalent to finding a bad time when you say this kind of thing......

Of course, he knew very well that if he avoided talking about it at this time, he would be even more unhappy in the future.

"Let's start with the reaction of the soldiers. Seeing that Zhuo Zhi was silent, the viscount reminded him again;

"Ah...... The soldiers ...... about this Belch...... They had never seen such a battle. ”

"Nonsense. "The viscount was a little angry, and the sycophants were useless.

"The soldiers were scared last night. Seeing the viscount like this, Zhuo Zhi didn't dare to hide it" Some of the soldiers thought that the monster was making trouble, but more people thought that it was ...... It's the unjust soul that is at work. ”

"Is it the former viscount. Coldcone looked at the forest to the east, his brow furrowed;

“...... That's right, that's exactly what it is. Zhuo Zhi nodded, "The soldiers said that because there were too many demonic beasts killed at this time, the Viscount's soul might take advantage of it...... Belch...... You know, his bones are buried in ......"

In the forest to the east, the viscount thought that he had given this order himself;

The body of the Viscount of Sheephorn was not buried deeply, and there were no tombstones or mounds that were too large, and the Viscount had intended to let the beasts gnaw at the end;

The results are now ...... It made the soldiers panic about it.

However, the solution is also very simple.
