The people on board seem to have had an argument with the colonists of the port.

I saw the bearded captain arguing with Connie about something, but judging from Connie's indifferent expression, it was clear that the negotiation was unsuccessful.

Soldiers armed with spears gathered at the entrance to the dock, while idle sailors and helpers gathered around to watch the play. Jiang Feng noticed that the ballista on the other side of the turret was also faintly aimed at this side. Although it is not reloaded, it seems that the colonists of Port Sewett are not friendly to these people.

“…… The mainmast of the Kenliang has been broken, and we can't go anywhere with just one secondary mast! It doesn't even take a storm, you're sending me to death! When he heard the knight in front of him refuse to go ashore, Kairut shook his beard with excitement and said loudly.

"He's right......" Captain Calf was about to say something when Connie glanced at him, shrugged his shoulders and held back the words.

From his expression, it can be seen that he is quite sympathetic to the plight of these people, but his identity and position do not allow him to talk too much about this matter.

"You were supposed to die." Connie said coldly, "You have betrayed your lord by fleeing the rebels instead of taking up arms to defend the kingdom's territory. ”

"Go to the lord of Temo, the rebels are still fifty kilometers away from Banville, and Viscount Cameron has fled with his family." Pointing to the ragged people on deck, the captain said in an excited tone. "They're just a bunch of peasants, and my brother and I are nothing more than boatmen who help Lord Cameron carry goods, so what do you want us to do to fight the heavily armed rebels? Bring this wrecked ship ashore? ”

Out of the morality of the knights, he should take them in, but the laws of the kingdom do not allow it. He is a knight of the kingdom, and a knight canonized by His Majesty the King, and he should first obey the laws of the kingdom before adhering to the so-called knighthood.

He was already merciful when he didn't arrest these people.

Not wanting to say anything more, Connie waved his hand impatiently.

"Refill the fresh water and food, and then leave here, this is the only thing that can help you in Port Servit, and it is my last mercy to you."

"Ha, you might as well just kill us." Kairut opened his arms.

"A tragic incident happened not long ago in Port Sevet, and I don't want my sword to be stained with the blood of my countrymen again," Connie said coldly, his hand already pressed on the hilt of his sword, staring at Kairut, "unless they stand firmly on the opposite side of the king." ”

"Listen, we paid ten lives to get here, we're not leaving, we're not going anywhere." Staring at Connie, the captain said.

"Then you can spend the night on deck, as long as you don't land at the docks, I don't have any opinion."

Coldly leaving this sentence behind, Connie beckoned to the soldiers next to him, gesturing at his feet, motioning for them to form up here, and then turned and walked out of the crowd.

Seeing that there was nothing good to see, the onlookers sailors and helpers left one after another, and the soldiers tacitly erected their shields and spears to block the entrance to the dock. The refugees on the deck looked helplessly at the port, the joy of the rest of their lives was gone, and all that remained was the sluggishness and numbness that could not even be called despair.

Squeezed back to Jiang Feng's side, Du Wei told him what happened on the dock.

"Prince William's rebels have reached Baanville, and those are the farmers and sailors of Viscount Cameron's domain, who seem to have fled by boat when Baanville fell...... It's a good thing they can get this brig here. ”

The pirate ships hired by Prince William blocked the ports of the Rick Kingdom, and were fighting guerrilla warfare with the kingdom's fleet at sea, and the fact that they could slip away from the blockade of those pirate ships showed that the captain of Kairut was not ordinarily rich in seafaring experience.

"Where is Baanville? It is only two hundred kilometers away from the royal capital. ”

It seems that this War of Succession does not seem to be very optimistic for His Majesty the King of the Rick Kingdom.

Nodding, Jiang Feng said he understood.

Interested in the refugees from across the sea, he thought for a moment before moving in the direction of Connie.

Noticing Jiang Feng walking towards him, Connie made a knightly salute.

"Honorable Wizard, what are your commands?"

"Why don't you let them ashore?" Jiang Feng asked.

Connie was slightly stunned, and glanced at Jiang Feng strangely, not knowing why this wizard suddenly paid attention to this group of fugitives. But out of respect for Jiang Feng himself and awe of his status as a wizard, he still replied.

"They are Viscount Cameron's subjects."

"So what?"

"If we accept them without authorization, once Viscount Cameron is held accountable, the port of Sevet, who took in these fugitives, will bear quite serious responsibility."

In most feudal kingdoms on the continent of Aditya, the lords of the noble fiefs were usually not allowed to leave their lands without permission unless they were exiled by the nobles themselves.

If they run away because of a little "small setback", and everyone runs into the city to make a living, who will farm for the castles and manors of the nobles? Who will protect the property and private soldiers of the nobles?

Having abandoned the land they had cultivated for generations, and leaving the patronage of Viscount Cameron, their status changed from being a child of the Rick Kingdom to a fugitive without the protection of the law.

For these fugitives, the nobility of the country not only had the power to demand them, but they could dispose of them at will according to their preferences or the laws of their territory, and were not bound by the laws of the kingdom. Those who provide asylum to fugitives will also be punished, in the case of civilians they will be imprisoned, and in the case of nobles they will be subject to fines ranging from 500 to 1,000 UBS.

But under normal circumstances, no one wants to leave their homeland unless they really can't live anymore.

It can also be seen from this that without the support of Baron Fred, Captain Agris's colonization plan would not have been carried out at all, and there would have been no port of Sevit at all. When he first colonized Port Sevet, Baron Fred used the subjects of his own barony.

No nobleman would be willing to send his people to reclaim an island more than a hundred nautical miles from the mainland, and even if the lives of those untouchables were worthless, it was their private property, better than livestock like Montau.

Glancing at the people on the deck, Jiang Feng continued to ask.

"What if I take them in?"

Connie was obviously stunned, he didn't expect Jiang Feng to say such a thing.

It took a moment for him to speak, embarrassed.

"This may cause displeasure from Viscount Cameron, but ...... He shouldn't hold you accountable. ”

No one is going to hold the wizard accountable for two or three hundred fugitives.

It's just that this kind of boring kindness, placed on the wizard's body, really can't be understood by Connie. But if it was said that accepting these fugitives would make the wizard profitable, he couldn't see the doorway in the slightest.

Don't......

This wizard is going to conduct witchcraft experiments on these fugitives?

Thinking of this, he looked at the eyes of these people on the deck, full of sympathy.

Ignoring the expression on Connie's face, after learning that accepting these fugitives would not cause him any trouble, Jiang Feng withdrew his gaze from the sailboat that had broken the mainmast and said to Connie who was standing next to him.

"Then let them go ashore, I also need some men to take care of the plantation for me."

Leaving these words, Jiang Feng turned around and walked in the direction of the warehouse area.
