"The new baron has issued a lord's order to take the initiative to send troops to clear out the fishmen!"

Early the next morning, an extremely exciting news spread throughout Blackstone City in an instant, causing all the residents to be in an uproar.

Even many people scoffed at the news at first, until they saw that the lord's guard really began to move, and they believed that they were really going to clean up the fishmen!

Although the local residents have suffered from the fish-men for so many years, it is the first time in more than ten years that they have taken the initiative to eliminate the terrifying number of fish-men, and everyone is almost instinctively worried about this.

Even for fear of failure, the young soldiers who died were the sons and husbands of local residents, and once they died, it would be bad news for several families.

At the same time, he was also worried about angering those fish-people who would not have left the shore too easily, leading to another large-scale fish-man invasion.

However, it was obvious that no matter how worried they were, they couldn't change the decision made by Dong Xuan, a lord who was bent on going his own way.

After trying to persuade to no avail, the old housekeeper simply changed into a leather armor and went to Dong Xuan's side, looking at someone with a generous look of death, unusually speechless.

"Am I so untrustworthy in your hearts..."

Moreover, this extremely sudden order not only summoned the old butler, but even the two remaining professionals in the territory, the commander of the guard, and the presiding priest who had been staying in the church and did not show up much, the old priest Lacourt, also hurried over.

Judging from the fact that the two of them were a little disheveled and haggard, it was obvious that the two had been together all night last night to study things, and that was indeed the case.

As aborigines who have lived in this land all their lives, the two of them love Blackstone Ridge no less than anyone else, in order to predict the possible future movements of those fish people, the two stayed up until dawn because they really couldn't hold on and stopped, and they slept for less than an hour before they were awakened by the noise outside.

When they heard that the baron had ordered to clean up the fishmen, the two of them didn't care about anything else, and jumped off the bed in the church lounge, grabbed their coats and ran over before they had time to wash their faces.

Especially because he went to the village outside the city to appease the panicked masses before, the pastor who had not seen Dong Xuan at yesterday's welcome ceremony complained even more in his heart, and at the same time secretly made up his mind in his heart.

Although I don't know what the new baron went crazy about locking himself in the secret room last night, he will definitely not agree to his nonsense!

Because of his unique position, as the presiding priest, he is one of the few beings in the entire territory who can confront the will of the lord head-on.

This is not a **** confrontation between theocracy and royal power like in ancient Europe, and the real priests in this world are not those who can only play lip service, but really have the special power to heal people's diseases.

And it is precisely because of the priests' ability to heal people's wounds and enlighten people to do good that they are often able to accumulate a great deal of prestige in their area, which is the real reason why the lords have to value them.

Here, we need to briefly introduce the question of human faith.

For various reasons, the human beings in this world do not have a truly unified belief in a certain god, and except for some cults that are not recognized by the mainstream, what the cathedrals really believe in is actually a magical power called the Holy Light.

And the existence that has truly mastered this power is the only one among the professions that has two classes with strong healing powers-Priest and Paladin.

According to the teachings of the Holy Light Church, this belief in the Holy Light is not at all like a religion, but more like a special philosophy that guides people to be kind, optimistic, and mutually helpful.

These priests who use the power of the Light to heal people's wounds believe that the Light will give their followers spiritual strength and spiritual guidance, ultimately leading humanity to a bright and happy future, so their slogan is - May the Light be with you!

Therefore, when the priest made it clear in front of Dong Xuan that he did not support his actions, someone was surprised to find that those soldiers who had been firmly carrying out his orders even though they were apprehensive in their hearts actually showed a wavering expression.

"It's kind of interesting..."

Swiping the information about the priest in his mind, Dong Xuan immediately understood the point.

To put it bluntly, soldiers are also human beings, they will have their own injuries and diseases, and even if they are young and strong now, their families around them are also likely to have their own problems.

In ancient Europe, the gods who used all kinds of strange things to fool people could fool these people, not to mention this kind of guy who can really unleash his actual power, and it is normal for his prestige to overpower him, a young man who came out of nowhere, or even just became a baron for a day.

"Well, it seems that if you don't convince this person, you won't be able to get out today."

Dong Xuan didn't get angry because of this, after all, he wasn't a guy with a small belly, but if he gave enough explanations to easily defeat the fishman, and this guy dared to find fault, then don't blame him for bullying the elderly.

Thinking of this, Dong Xuan simply took out a bottle of green elixir directly from under the lenient mage robe that the maid had made overnight.

"Well, I was going to surprise everyone after a complete success, but in that case, I'll say it in advance."

After a slight pause, Dong Xuan, who hooked the corners of his mouth, raised his voice slightly, and said loudly to the crowd around him:

"As a mage specializing in potions, when I was experimenting with fishmen caught alive yesterday, I suddenly discovered that a certain potion that I had inadvertently created before that could cause large-scale suffocation of fish could also have the same effect on fishmen!"

His words immediately startled the crowd around him, and then there was an uproar!

Apparently, everyone realizes what a suffocating potion can bring to them!

"It's true?!"

The old priest grabbed Dong Xuan's other hand, his eyes widened and he asked in disbelief, from this distance, the bloodshot under his eyes from staying up late was almost visible.

"Of course!"

Dong Xuan smiled confidently.

"Later, we can find some lone fishmen to test it first, and if it proves to be effective, then just pour the potion along the river, and then we just need to take advantage of the effect of the potion, and desperately slaughter the disgusting fish heads struggling in vain on the shore before the effect of the potion disappears!"

"When the time comes, Blackstone Ridge will completely get rid of the threat of the fishmen and usher in a bright future!"

This time, the surprise of the surrounding crowd was suddenly replaced by cheers, and this cheer containing joy continued to spread as the news was transmitted, and even finally plunged the entire Black Rock City into a sea of jubilation!

"Long live your lord!"

I don't know who was the first to shout this slogan, and then everyone cheered like this, even the soldiers and the old butler couldn't help shouting the slogan "Long live the lord".

The inhabitants of this land have endured it for too long, and now the sight of hope, even the slightest possibility, is enough to make them so excited that they burst into tears!

Seeing this incomparably fanatical picture, Dong Xuan's eyes suddenly flashed a dark purple streamer that was completely different from when his spiritual power flowed, and the smile on the corner of his mouth carried an inexplicable meaning (to be continued. )
