"Lord Baron, I think, perhaps, you should consider what comes from the hearts of the villagers!" Adams said quietly.

"I don't think it's necessary!" William said coldly.

"A good lord doesn't lose his people, Lord Baron." There was a threat in Adams' words.

"What if they weren't my people!" William's majestic gaze swept over the villagers in the audience, "I am a reasonable person and an honest person!" I am lord of the Ducas, and the laws of the duchy give me the power to collect taxes from my lords. I exercise my authority, and I collect only forty percent of the land tax from you! ”

"Forty percent of the land tax is too high, Lord Baron!" Adams said weakly.

"Really? Mr. Adams! William said Mr. Adams, accentuatingly.

"You can go to other territories, as long as you can find less land tax than the Baron!" Old John interjected and looked angrily at Adams.

Adams' face was a little ugly, and he also knew that this land tax was already quite small compared to other lords!

However, he can't help himself, and there are some things he doesn't want to say, but he still has to say them.

"However, the village of Nisse is a special place after all!"

"Every place is special, Mr. Adams." William retorted with a blank face, "I never force you! After paying my share of rent, you are all free, and you are free to choose where you want to go! ”

"Lord Baron, we are not your serfs, the villagers of Nisse Village are all free people, and we have the right to move freely!" Adams couldn't help but say.

"Of course, you have." William said casually.

"You're not free people, you're all thieves!" Old John couldn't help but scold.

None of the villagers refuted that the small village of Nisse was originally formed spontaneously by the enclosure of displaced people.

At that time, they didn't pay the funds to the lord or the principality to buy land, whoever took it belonged to whomever it was, and if they didn't accept it, it would be up to the fist!

So old John called them thieves, and that's not wrong!

Of course, this is what John Sr. said from the point of view of the ruler!

At this time, the Western Knight, a-stirring stick, interjected, and he sighed and said, "Forty percent of the land tax? Yes! What a merciful lord! ”

"Well, since your lord doesn't care about your lives at all, we don't have any time to waste here listening to you chat."

"Now, if you want to spend the winter in Patras City, come to me and pay enough food, or enough Pis gold!"

"You have to pay the land tax of Dicas's territory before you goddamn thieves can escape!" Old John screamed.

The villagers were suddenly in a dilemma, and William, the lord, was in front, and no one dared to act rashly.

The Western Knight's face was a little uncontrollable, and he cursed the untouchables in his heart, and then looked at Adams again.

Adams secretly complained in his heart, but he had no way out, so he had to stand up and continue to pull William's hatred, saying.

"Lord Baron, what we know, what we all know, is that you are a benevolent lord and a generous lord. Please, all the villagers are watching you, as long as you are willing to ......"

"It's your business!" William interrupted impatiently, and used a classic national scold from his previous life!

"What does it have to do with my ass?" Adams was stunned for a moment, but then he came to his senses, he felt insulted, and his face turned red.

"Lord Baron, if you do this, you will lose ours!" Adams was a little unceremoniously authentic.

"Really? Mr. Adams, you don't speak for all the people! What's more, for me, I'll spend the whole winter here in the village of Nisse, and it won't be the people of Dicasus who choose to turn their backs on me. William emphasized.

"Do you really spend the winter in the small village of Nisse?" Adams asked in disbelief, he had always thought William was joking!

But looking at William's current appearance, it doesn't look like a joke!

"If you don't have nutrition!" William gave Adams a blank look.

Adams was silent, and the Knight of West, on the other side, seemed to have heard a big joke, his eyes swept over the mountains of dirt and limestone at the entrance of the village, and said, "I have to say, Lord Baron, that your courage amazes me, that this can no longer be called bravery, and perhaps it should be called stupidity." ”

"Your foolish bravery is astonishing, Lord Baron!" The Western Knight said unscrupulously.

Old John gritted his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do!

However, William's face was still calm, unaffected by the ridicule.

This made the West Knight's heart stained with a hint of gloom, and even felt a trace of ...... Accurate!

The Knight of the West thought for a moment, and then said, "Baron, forgive me for your presumptuousness, are you planning to use that dirt to defend against the attacks of those monsters deep in the dark forest?" Are you going to fight back against them with those stones? ”

"I have to say, it's a genius idea! Hahaha......" Knight West couldn't help but laugh maniacally.

Even the two knights next to him had a contemptuous smile on their lips.

William had always been calm, even cold, and he looked coldly at the Western Knight and laughed wildly.

The audience was watching the West Knight laugh maniacally.

Slowly, the West Knight smiled and smiled and felt uncomfortable.

In short, it was a very unpleasant feeling, and his mouth closed suddenly, and then he roared, "Okay, you untouchables, hurry up, or stay here with your lord for the winter!" ”

Adams's heart tightened, he didn't dare to delay any longer, and opened his mouth to William and said apologetically, "Lord Baron, I'm sorry, we can only meet again next year!" I'm so sorry! ”

"No, you don't need to be sorry because I don't want to see you next year either!" William said mercilessly.

Knight West listened and added, "That's right, you probably won't see your Lord Baron next year, hahaha......" Knight West sneered to his heart's content.

William still looked indifferent, which made the anger in the heart of the West Knight thicken.

"Lord Baron, my children, Kyle Adams and Rick Adams, will come with me, too!" Adams whispered again, he really didn't have any confidence.

"As long as they want to!" William was also generous.

He wants loyal guards, not hidden mines.

And Adams's behavior is burying mines!

It's better to send it away early!

"Thank you, Lord Baron, for being a good lord!" Adams said to William with a complicated look in his eyes, and then looked at the escort behind him, "Kyle, Rick!" Come out! ”

The other members of the escort were silently watching Adams's two sons, and they both hesitated for a moment before they stood up and whispered to William, "I'm sorry, Lord Baron! ”

"I'm sorry, Lord Baron!"

"Hmm!" William cherishes words like gold.

Jacques Potter and Drake John were furious.

Jacques Potter angrily stepped forward and scolded Adams' two sons, "You two traitors, how many resources has the Baron put in you? ”

Kyle Adams and Rick Adams kept their heads down and didn't dare to face Jacques Potter.

"Jacques!" William suddenly roared, "Ignore discipline and run around the village five times!" Right now! ”

"Lord Baron......" Jacques Potter looked at William's cold face, glared at Kyle Adams and Rick Adams fiercely, and then gasped for breath and ran out of the village!

Knight West looked at this scene with amusement, and looked down on William a little more in his heart, and even punished those who thought about himself, no wonder he was called a child baron by Lord Viscount!

He rolled his eyes for a moment, and then said lazily, "Is there anyone else?" If not, we're gone! ”

"Yes, Knight, please give us a little more time." Adams was the most active when he heard this, and while answering the words of the Western Knight, he kept his eyes on the crowd and searched.

"What are you waiting for? Is it really going to spend the winter in the small village of Nisse? Adams said to the villagers.

Only when more people leave together will William compromise and Adams will feel at ease!

"Mr. Adams, I have to warn you that you have paid the entrance fee to the people of Patras City today, then you are not a lord of my Dicas, and you will get out of here with your property! Your land will be repossessed! Kyle, Rick, take off your uniform boots, you don't deserve them, and your swords, shields, put them down! ”

William interrupted Adams with an indifferent look in his eyes.

Kyle, Rick's face was all white, the original luck was gone, and under the gaze of William and others, he had to slowly take off what didn't belong to him.

Adams's face was also ugly, blue and red, but he quickly adjusted, and he didn't know whether to laugh at himself or comfort himself, and said, "Life is far more important than possessions!" Lord Baron, I value my life and that of my family more than anything else! After all, as long as life remains, then the future is still there! His life is gone, and even if the land is still there, it has nothing to do with him. “

Adams said this to himself, to William, and even more to the other villagers.

As the villagers listened to him, the arguments became louder.

A smug smile appeared on the corner of Adams' mouth.

However, William said indifferently, "This is your freedom!" Let the joy in Adams's heart disappear without a trace.

A flash of chagrin flashed in his eyes, and he decided to add another fire, even if it was at the risk of seriously offending William.

"Mr. Smith, Mr. Collis, Mr. Hughster, Andrew, Mr. Flake, what are you waiting for? Opportunities won't always be there! It's time to make a decision! Life or death? ”

Adams said that they are all big households in the village, and their land together occupies 60% of the village, which is not a small number.
