The nobles in the Empty Ferry Territory began to feel uneasy, according to the custom of previous years, the troops from the Duke of Winton should have arrived at the Empty Ferry Territory a few days ago, but so far this year, they have not seen any support.

And this uneasiness reached its peak when they heard that Rand wanted to fight the beast tide and the barbarians alone.

"He's really dizzy, the military strength in the Kongdu Domain is not enough to withstand the onslaught from the monsters, he wants the Kongdu Domain to accompany him to hell. "Baron Batu, who was over seventy years old, sat around the gambling table with a group of nobles, who had nothing to do on weekdays and whose only amusement was gambling, but today they had no intention of playing.

Their fields, properties, estates, and families are all in the vicinity of Cabintown, and it can be said that these assets are their lifeblood, and if Rand can't hold Cabintown, then they will lose a lot.

"Why don't you ask the Duke for help, he knows how brutal the barbarians are!"

"I heard that the Duke is worried about the war in the north, where can he take care of our air ......?"

"What about Ron, he has the most elite Seventh Legion, and he can support the situation with a hundred-man cavalry team!" someone asked.

"Ron doesn't care if we live or die, he's a madman with only power and profit in his eyes, and if the Empty Collar goes to hell with Rand, he's afraid he'll wake up laughing at night......" Baron Batu sighed, a thick haze on his face.

"Leaving was our only option. Before the first snowfall, if no reinforcements arrived, we had to take our families and take refuge in a nearby city. Baron Batu said helplessly.

The faces of the nobles turned very ugly, and leaving the empty realm meant that they would let their estates and estates go unchecked, and let the beasts roam their former paradise, and the mere thought of it made people feel pain.

"Each of our families has a private army, and the lord has an army of nearly six hundred men, why can't we cooperate with the lord to hold the wooden house?" A calm voice came from the corner, and everyone looked over to see a tall young man approaching, unlike the nobles, he was dark-skinned, with criss-crossing scars on his hands, and he looked like a servant.

The nobles turned their heads, and when they saw the speaker, the expressions on their faces became extremely exciting, with contempt, ridicule, and a little disdain, Baron Batu's face became gloomy, and he scolded: "Touang, you think things too simply, you haven't personally experienced the horrors of the beast tide, and besides, the private armies of the nobles are to protect us, not to fight with the peasants for the sake of those commoners!"

Touron was silent for a moment, unlike these nobles who were born to inherit the titles of their fathers, he was given a knighthood as a soldier for his meritorious service in battle, so he was extremely disgusted by the selfish and shallow ideas of these nobles.

Touron knew very well that the nobles had never looked up to him, and they thought that Touron was a low-born and vulgar man, and did not deserve the same status as the nobles of their good family.

"Your Excellency Batu, if each of us wants to protect himself and ignore the lives of the common people, then what qualifications do we have to accept their worship and respect?" Touron did not flinch in the slightest, he was a warrior who had come from the battlefield of swords and swords, and these old nobles who only knew how to have fun in the gambling house could not intimidate him at all.

"Touron, our title is the glory of the king to our family, we don't need the approval of those untouchables, if you want to accompany them to their death, then please do it yourself!" Touron's words angered Baron Batu, the old nobleman's temper was obviously a little hot, he could not accept Touron's accusations against him, although it was true, but because of this, the old nobleman was even more annoyed.

"Touron, you farmer-turned-fellow, your brain is as dull as a millstone, you think your lord can withstand the barbarians and beasts, don't be stupid, pack up your things, and get out of here before it's too late!" someone sneered.

"What about your inheritance, what about your assets, if you can lead your family away, can you also leave your property, are you willing to watch your fields destroyed?" Touron was still trying to persuade Baron Batuu to change his mind, for the old fellow had a high reputation among the nobility, and if he was moved, Touron's proposal might become a reality.

"Touron, it's not a problem, it's not a problem with the fields or the servants. Batu indifferently interrupted Tourang and said, "As long as we live, we can make up for our losses from the civilian population by doubling our taxes in the coming year." ”

The nobles nodded approvingly, they didn't think there was anything wrong with this matter, what did it matter to them whether the civilians lived or died?

As long as we have our interests, as long as the Kongdu Territory is not completely occupied by the barbarians, they can wait until the beginning of the next spring to return here, and take over the land that belongs to them as a matter of course, so as not to care about the farmers or warriors who died in battle to defend the Kongdu Territory.

Touron's eyes widened as he stared at Batuu, he couldn't believe that he could utter such a shameless sentence from Batuu's mouth, and he still had a natural expression, his breathing gradually thickened, and his fists were clenched so tightly that he could almost see the whitening joints.

He looked at these nobles and felt a burst of anger rush from his chest to the top of his head, the only remaining trace of hope in his heart was finally exhausted, he took a deep breath, forced his anger and said in a voice as flat as possible: "Everyone, I finally understand a truth, something more difficult than convincing a stupid pig is to convince a group of stupid pigs!"

"I know some of you look down on me, but I don't understand until today that you are a bunch of cowards, cowards, and parasites! You have no right to despise me, but as a warrior, I want to tell you that I spit on you from the bottom of my heart, and that you are not even as good as a wild dog on the side of the road, and that he will at least bark twice when others invade his den, and you don't even have the guts to show his fangs!"

"Run for your lives!"

"I will never leave the Empty Ferry Realm, I will follow behind the lord and fight until the last drop of blood is shed. ”

With that last sentence, Touron kicked open the door of the gambling house, turned his head and disappeared into the darkness, without even looking back.
