Chapter Fifty-Seven: Lothar's Succession
The lion's momentum was still there, and he slowly stirred the reins, and the war horse slowly moved forward to the dead body. Picking up the corpse with the scabbard, there was a thud, and the pockets full of gold coins fell to the ground with a crackle. Shaking her head and sighing with some regret, Lothar set the body aside, and then spoke:
"These gold coins are enough for you to live freely for a few years. Maybe you can live for decades with a little frugality. If you weren't in Stormwind, maybe you could buy a few acres of good land, maybe you could start a mill, and maybe even spend money to donate a knight. But unfortunately, this friend made an irrational decision, so he didn't have a chance to enjoy it.
So, what about you guys? How did you choose? ”
There was a commotion in the crowd, and Lothar's words echoed throughout Stormwind City like a flood of bells under the mage's operation, whether it was the people gathered in front of the Royal City Square, or the others who were still looting and crazy all over the city, they couldn't help but stop their movements. Just as the sound of the school loudspeaker was slightly distorted, Lothar's originally low and majestic voice seemed strange and ridiculous. At least to Ren Fan's ears, that voice didn't sound like the lion of Stormwind City in the past.
But what he said made people laugh at all.
"Today, your deeds can be forgiven. The reason is simple, because I don't have enough troops to deal with you mobs! As long as you don't come and make trouble, it's fine. In fact, I don't need to deal with you, everyone knows very well what is going on outside the city. Like you said, I was defeated out there, defeated by a pack of green-skinned beasts! There may be people around you who have fled from outside, and you can ask them what kind of beings they are.
They don't even spare the little ones! ”
With an indifferent smile on her face, Lothar looked at the people in front of her who no longer had the slightest look of greed, and said very casually:
"So I don't care about these issues, whether Stormwind can hold it or not, to be honest, I don't know. All I can say is that I will hold out until the last minute in this city. And at that time, ladies and gentlemen, I don't think I will need to judge you for the crimes you have committed today. ”
Turning the horse's head, in silence, Lothar walked slowly and lazily towards the gates of the royal city. As if remembering something, he stretched out a finger and said indifferently:
"By the way, I remember one thing. In order to prevent the orcs from attacking from the sea, I have arranged for all ships that can go to sea to be deployed in the open sea, which means that from today onwards, not a single ship will be transported outward. In other words, if you want to leave, you have to go by land...... But it's orcs out there, and it doesn't seem like a good idea. Of course, if you insist, I will not object. It's just that once you leave this city gate, you will be treated as traitors, and in case of emergency, you will be treated the same as the orcs, do you understand? ”
"What...... You...... You're murdering! ”
"Interestingly, I know that your hearts are full of anger and despair right now. But it is a pity that the king has given me full power of the military, and the reins of the navy are in my hands. If I don't live to hand over all my strength to the next person, then even the king will not be able to mobilize the navy back. Unfortunately, it looks like we don't have a choice right now. ”
Looking at the gold and silver in their hands, people suddenly felt a trace of regret in their hearts. If you don't grab these things, if you don't mess up the order, maybe you can get out of this hellish place? Is it possible to catch the last train after the nobles leave, instead of waiting to die in this city like now!
But looking at the cute yellow gold coin in their hands, they hesitated again. Is one of their lives worth so much money?
Maybe in the eyes of the aristocracy, it's not worth it.
In fact, in their eyes, it's really not worth it......
And once their children and descendants have such a fortune......
Once, as Lothar said, he did not hold those responsible. After defending this city, can you do something you want to do?
Have your own farm, your own farm?
The law does not blame the people, no matter how cruel he Lothar is, it is impossible to punish the entire people of Stormwind City!
Well, just hold the city......
When all retreats are blocked, people become positive and courageous. When he found that only a leather whip was left behind his back, and a carrot was still hanging in front of him, even the stupidest donkey knew how to choose. At some point, there is no difference between a human and a donkey.
Presumably, when they discover the ruined foundation under the undercurrent, those nobles will also make an honest choice.
It wasn't a pleasant experience, but ...... At least it turned out to be good......
And remembering the initiator of this incident, Lothar hated the root of his teeth. Lothar, who was still guilty about leaving him in the Elwin Forest, just wanted to hang Ren Fan up and beat him at this time, if it wasn't for his own side to deal with it in time, I am afraid that such a riot would become the fuse of Stormwind City's subversion. Everything you have done before will come to naught.
What the hell is this bastard!
I don't know if it was because the dust was too heavy, or because of the reaction caused by other people's endless 'missing', Ren Fan sneezed heavily. Rubbing his nose, he lazily kicked open the tattered door, and then said to Onexia, who had a painful face behind him:
"You're welcome, come in and sit......"
"Come in and sit down with your sister!"
Onexia now desperately wanted to burn the low, dilapidated, dirty, ugly little dilapidated house in front of her to ashes, but considering that she might not be able to beat the pervert in front of her, she still endured it. Gritting her teeth and pinching the corners of her skirt, she found a chair that didn't look too dirty and sat down. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a small snoring sound......
"Is this guy a pig?"
Looking at Ren Fan who was putting big characters on the bed, Onexia was stunned and then gritted her teeth. I'm a beauty anyway, in the eyes of human beings, I'm definitely a beauty now, I'm definitely a beauty, okay! But this bastard, how did he really throw himself aside! Doesn't he know what gentlemanly demeanor is!
Thinking of what this bastard had done in the forest, Onexia couldn't help but hug her chest, and then the atmosphere was full of shame.
Really, she had never seen such a brazen person!
Moving slightly, the chair under the seat made a slight moving sound, and Ren Fan, who was originally sleeping on the side, opened his eyes instantly, and a delicate dwarven musket inexplicably appeared in his hand that was originally stretched out under the pillow, and the muzzle of the gun was facing the center of Onexia's eyebrows. In his other hand, a small, delicate dagger popped out. Looking at the faint phosphorescent light reflected off the blade of the dagger, Onexia, who had been in the Big Brother laboratory for a long time, instantly saw what was smeared on it.
It is said to be a super poison that can poison even a dragon, and the strongest poison that can only be collected from the queen of some kind of poisonous insects. Although the effect is not as powerful as the legend suggests, even if it is yourself, being cut by this thing is quite troublesome.
And this bastard, just put it close to him! What a damn bastard!
looked at Onexia in front of him a little blankly, blinked, rubbed his body and had to move a little distance, put the musket dagger back in place, he patted the empty position next to him, and then said a little indistinctly:
"Uh, would you like to sleep together for a while?"
