Baron Paragus said: "I must thank Your Excellency for your concern, but we can protect ourselves. The members of the Warrior Corps brought with you are our handpicked warriors from the town, and they will work with me to protect the townspeople. ”

"It seems like you're resistant to working with us. Xiao Chen walked to the sofa in the living room, sat down by himself, and looked at Baron Paragus.

Baron Paragus sat down on the sofa opposite Xiao Chen, sat down slowly, and said, "There are many things, so if you don't bother others, it's naturally better to do it yourself." Hungry wolves hunt food, be careful of tigers and leopards. Anything has to be paid for, and I have lived to be sixty-five years old, and I know this all too well. ”

Xiao Chen's eyes moved around the room, and found an old "Chinese painting" on the opposite wall, this painting was larger than a few paintings in the corridor, occupying one-sixth of the size of the wall, allowing Xiao Chen to see more details, there were mountains and rocks, pine trees, pavilions, figures, and even the character's dress was very Chinese-style, obviously created according to the ancient Chinese paintings of that world, which made Xiao Chen more determined to his guess. However, before he could ask about it, he needed to talk to the Baron about his "help".

"You know, three of the four villages I went to before I came here made the same choice as you, and I wonder what their ending is now?" Xiao Chen's gaze was very oppressive, and he looked at Baron Paragus as he spoke, making it take him a lot of effort to make eye contact with him.

"You should be familiar with these towns, but you may not know what happened to them these days. The town of Kavizon is a domain administered by Baron Casias, who does not run the territory in the town like you, but I met his eldest son, Elwe, a young man who flatly refused my help and insisted that our account of the plague was a lie, and that their town was attacked by a team of Imperials the next afternoon. Elway, like your son, was a low-ranking knight, and with a few of his attendants, they killed a dozen Imperial soldiers at the cost of only three soldiers' injuries.

But the next day, seven or eight of the people involved in the battle, including the Elwi Knights, developed dark spots on their bodies and began to get sick. When I went back to inspect the day before yesterday, Alwei had collapsed on his hospital bed and could not get up, and the disease was spreading throughout the village, and according to my observations, at least thirty or forty people had already begun to get sick. ”

After Xiao Chen finished talking about the situation in Cavezon Town, Baron Paragus and Avadia exchanged glances with each other, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes. Xiao Chen continued: "The town of Emmerse, which is closer to the town of Cavison, is the fief of Baron Emilyo, the eldest brother of Baron Casias, and similarly, they have rejected my proposal. They were lucky at first, and there were no Imperial people attacking their town, but then the plague broke out from them, because after the outbreak of the plague in the town of Caveison, some people fled to the town of Emmerse, and these people who fled also brought the plague with them, and the outbreak of the disease in the town of Emmersee was a day later than that of the town of Caveison, and Baron Emilio's family fled overnight after learning the news. But I was blocked by what I had been secretly observing. By the way, the direction of their escape is none other than your town of Goyo. ”

Baron Paragus was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "This must have been two days ago, and we didn't find anyone coming from the direction of Emmersay, so you must have stopped them, right?"

"Of course, when I first came into contact with them, I warned them that even if they were unwilling to accept our help, we would use all means to prevent the spread of the plague. Unfortunately, when I stopped them, they did not listen to my advice and attacked me, and now Baron Emilio's family has disappeared from this world. Xiao Chen said.

"Then there are the more remote villages of Fransani and Gaviria. Xiao Chen continued.

"I know that these two villages are made up of fugitive slaves, outcasts and fugitives, and they are very remote and do not produce anything of value. I didn't expect you to be interested in a place like that. Baron Paragus said.

"The Tower of China will be accountable to every village in our territory. Xiao Chen said seriously, "No matter where these people come from or what their identities are, as long as they need our protection, we will protect them." We will give all the villages a chance to volunteer, depending on whether you will take the opportunity. This time, the two villages made completely opposite choices. ”

"The territory you control, when did this become the territory you control?" said Avadia in a low voice.

Xiao Chen didn't argue with him, and continued: "It's a sad mistake that Fransani Village rejected me. Like the town of Cavezon, they were attacked by the Imperials, but their luck was even worse, and they ran into two Imperial squads led by Fighting Warriors, although there were two people in their village who were also at the lower level, but they were no match for the Imperial Knights after all. When I checked again, I found that the village had been slaughtered by the Empire.

The village of Gaviria was weaker than the village of Fransani, so a vote was held, and in the end most of them agreed to let me help them defend the village. A day later, I was confronted by the same team that had slaughtered the village of Fransani, and it took me two minutes to deal with the Imperials. ”

"What will you do with the remaining three villages?" asked Baron Grappas.

"The village of Gaviria has agreed to be under our jurisdiction, and we will naturally send people to establish a village-level government. Then they will find that we will invest much more in them than they will have to pay in taxes. Slowly, they will move from a small village that is self-sufficient on its own at a low level to a better life. As for the towns of Cavezon and Emmerse, we don't have the time and energy to deal with sick patients right now. I can only put them down for a few days. When we confirm that we have almost cleared the Imperial people who have entered our territory, we will have a mage come over and heal them. ”

"I heard that this plague is dying quickly, and after a few days, these two towns are only ......," said Baron Grappas.

Xiao Chen said: "There is no way. Our manpower is limited. It is impossible to prioritize manpower in villages that oppose us. This can only be said to be a fate of one's own choice. I don't know, how will the two of you choose?"
