There is a small square outside the castle of Megatown, the floor of the square is a layer of stone slabs that were paved only a few days ago, and the white and clean ground is so out of place with everything around it, it looks very dazzling. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On August 5th, three days after the poisoning of Baron Aulan, the lord of Mega Town, was solved, the newly relocated townspeople gathered in the square early this morning to watch how the murderer of their lord was dealt with.

Townsfolk don't usually get a chance to come to this square, as it's usually a place where knights and nobles gather.

The two nobles who were still high a few days ago were now tightly bound, standing on the gallows in a proper manner, and a small group of ten soldiers next to them looked down and delayed, if the two of them made a slight movement, they were immediately pressed to the ground by the soldiers next to them.

The nobles gathered at the gate of the castle, and the soldiers guarding them formed a human wall, surrounding the nobles inside, distinguishing them from the crowd of civilians on the opposite side.

Gray, dressed in shiny knight's armor, stood in front of Xingtai, waiting for the arrival of the Earl of Lockton! His handsome dress made the hearts of many young girls in the commoners beat their hearts, and even more envied those young men.

When the magic clock came to nine o'clock, the Earl of Lockton walked out of the castle under the guard of the Knights of Jeke, who was dressed casually to-day, simple leather armor on a gray fir made of wool, and his graying hair faintly shining in the light.

As the Earl of Lockton approached, Gray waved to the soldiers on the platform, and when the soldiers saw this, they immediately removed the black cloth covers from the heads of Fili and Like, and then held down their arms to prevent them from moving.

In fact, Fili didn't even think about resisting, he stood quietly, but the soldiers didn't dare to let their guard down.

Li Ke next to him kept struggling, his strength was very strong, the two soldiers couldn't hold it down, one of the soldiers hurriedly poked at the wound on Li Ke's wrist, Li Ke suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, 'Wow, wow, wow'.

The tongues of the two men had been cut off, which was sent by Baron Mura, with the tacit approval of the Earl of Lockton, of course.

The Earl of Lockton walked to the top of the Xingtai, Gray immediately arranged for soldiers to be on guard around, and the Earl spoke: "I, Finn Lockton, the heir to the title of the Lockton family and the ruler of the Herion Domain, sentence Fili and Lick to be hanged!"

After the verdict of the Earl of Lockton, Fili smiled miserably, and Lick was staring at the Earl of Lockton with blood-red eyes, and the Earl of Lockton was not afraid, he also stared at Leake coldly, and the Earl continued: "I will judge both of you myself, and you can say your last words out loud!"

Both of them were stunned when they heard that the Earl of Lockton was about to carry out the execution himself, and Rick stopped struggling, and said a lot of 'wow' in his mouth, but no one could understand what he was saying.

There was even a burst of laughter in the crowd, Li Ke was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and bloodshot saliva flowed from his mouth, and the laughter in the crowd was even louder!

After a while, Lick realized that he had done all this in vain, and he glanced at the Earl of Lockton, who was staring at him, and smiled miserably, and urged down weakly.

"Ready!" As if they had waited for a long time, and the two of them had no last words to explain, the Earl of Lockton gave an order to the soldiers next to him, and the soldiers immediately took action when they heard this.

When the soldiers were done, the Earl of Lockton took a few steps forward, kicking first at the stake at Lick's feet, and then again at the stake at Filley's feet.

The bodies of the two were suddenly suspended in the air, the rope around their necks was strangled at their throats, and after a few seconds, their feet began to kick and kick non-stop.

The Earl of Lockton kept his eyes on the two of them until they died, and he did not withdraw his gaze until they died, while Gray stared at the back of the Earl of Lockton, thinking about what Saul had said.

If, from the very beginning, Viscount Donna's capture of the Three Towns was calculated by the Earl of Lockton, then what is he and can only be regarded as an insignificant pawn in the hands of the Earl?

Thor has been carefully calculating for more than twenty years, and fortunately, he has been in and out of the Red Rain Forest countless times, but he is just a tiny existence in the eyes of the Earl of Lockton?

Gray smiled bitterly, the result of his struggle on the verge of death several times was actually just a pawn from a passerby, and there was still a long way to go before he became a standard-bearer.

In the same way, the Earl of Lockton is not a winner, he is just a poor man in this game of thrones, and all he does is abide by the cruel rules of the game.

The two sons of the Earl of Lockton died one after another, but the only heir was a little girl who had only turned 16 years old.

However, the Earl of Lockton is very old, and he knows that he has few years left, so he must remove all obstacles that could threaten their family's rule for his heir while he still has the ability to move, while constantly strengthening his family.

Removing the power of these three towns can not only eliminate hidden dangers, but also enhance their own strength, and whoever is replaced by such a good thing is willing to do it.

The most important point is that these three families usually rely on the geographical advantages of their own territory to raid the caravans of other lords, offending a large number of nobles, and no one will stand up to question these three families.

The crowd in the square gradually receded with the deaths of Fili and Like, and the makeshift Xingtai was dismantled by several soldiers, and the bodies of the two were thrown by the soldiers on a dilapidated carriage, and then pulled out of the town, where they were hastily buried in a remote place, without even a tombstone.

Gray has nowhere to go in town, and when he returns to the barracks, Rena comes to his door.

"You're not going to change your mind, are you!" Reina's expression was ugly.

Gray knew what she was talking about, many knights had died in this war, especially the fire, there were nine knights who died in that fire alone, and some people had been canonized as knights in the past few days.

Of course, most of them are the descendants of knights, relatives or children of some nobles.

Regarding the canonization of Rena, it was actually Gray who deliberately suppressed it, because if nothing else, Gray would be canonized as the lord of Gersenburg in these two days, Rena is very talented, and Gray wants to keep this talent for himself.

According to human law, the power to canonize the nobility was originally only possessed by kings, but thousands of years ago, in order to open up more land, the human kingdom encouraged citizens to reclaim wasteland elsewhere and gave them the right to self-government.

This is the origin of several autonomous territories of the human kingdom, and later several big nobles followed the king's order and divided those meritorious generals under them into nobles, so that they could open up more land, and then these small nobles and small lords were formed!

Therefore, the Earl of Lockton has the power to directly canonize Gray as a nobleman, and he only needs to hand over the canonization documents and noble badges to Archduke De Rooney afterwards, and the archduke's castle officials will directly report to the royal capital and then archive it.
