Chapter 15: Althea

"The tax that Nighttown can collect every year is about three hundred gold coins, which is too little. I was a mercenary in Stormwind, and I made a lot more money than that. Lu En looked at the tax bill in Nightlight Town and complained.

He set the paper aside and stretched, and after getting the allegiance of the Night's Watch, Lu En was in a good mood.

Now, Lu En only needs to stabilize Night Town to launch a crusade against the lich of Raven Ridge, and then completely pull out the nail in his heart.

"Before I can do that, I need to get rid of ...... Werewolf. Lu moved his finger to the map on his desk, then placed his finger on the rotten orchard and Jorgen farm.

These two farms, together with a total of six hundred acres of land, were once the property of Nightshade and are now the territory of the werewolves.

"Six hundred acres of land, if you grow potatoes every year, you should earn three hundred gold coins a year, plus control of the junction to the Valley of Thorns, and those caravans going to the Valley of Thorns will have to pay taxes to me in the future. ”

Lu En thought as he thought about it, and a plan to surprise the werewolf had already come to his mind.

Werewolves are a very loose race, and if they don't have a leader, they will wander the forest, constantly searching for everything around them that they can eat, and killing each other when they are bored.

Da-da-da-da

There was a sound of footsteps coming from outside the door, Lu En was slightly stunned, and then saw two people walking in from outside the door, these two were Margaret and Althea.

Margaret glanced at Althea beside her, and then said to Lu En in front of her, "The Night's Watch has returned to work, and now the Night's Watch unit has been expanded and has recovered to 40 people. ”

"Now that the whole of Nighttown has stabilized, no one is planning to riot. ”

Lu En nodded: "Then, the night watchman must also maintain order and road safety in Night Town in the future." ”

Althea shuddered, and then walked over to Lu En at the table.

"Althea?" Lu En frowned slightly.

Althea quickly walked up to Lu En: "Lu En...... Count, I have one thing to ask you, and that is what you intend to do to me?"

Lu En said: "The official has been reinstated, isn't this good?"

Althea laughed miserably: "It's really good...... It's just wonderful. ”

A hint of vigilance flashed in Lu En's eyes, he had already felt it, the faint murderous aura emanating from Althea's body, and this murderous aura was gradually spreading out.

"Don't get excited. Lu En said calmly.

Suddenly, Althea let out a burst of laughter, which echoed through the room: "Hahahaha. ”

The other two in the room were very calm, except for Althea's wild laughter.

Gradually, Althea's laughter gradually weakened, and soon it turned into a sneer on the corner of her mouth as she looked at Lu En who was sitting on the chair.

"You laugh?" Lu En frowned slightly, and then he let the ink-stained quill into the ink.

"Hehehe. Althea stared at Lu En, who was sitting in a chair: "It's ridiculous. ”

Lu En looked into Althea's eyes and said seriously, "You are just laughing because you are afraid of me." ”

Hearing this, Althea laughed even harder, and after she finally stopped smiling, she said coldly: "What are you afraid of?"

"Fear my extraordinary fate. Lu En placed his hand on the hilt of the Frostmourn sword at his waist, as he could already see that Althea in front of him had placed his hand on the scimitar at his waist.

Sonorous!

A metal crash erupted through the town hall, and sparks flew as Frostmourn split the scimitar.

Margaret let out an exclamation, and she shouted urgently, "Stop." ”

Lu En made another sword to avoid Althea in front of him: "I will make the smile on your face disappear completely." ”

"Death Entanglement. ”

The black, howling skull appeared on Lu En's palm, and he threw the death entanglement directly at Altheea, only to see that in an instant, the death entanglement shot into Altheea's body.

The next moment, Lu En stabbed a sword into Althea's chest, and then pulled Frost Sorrow out of her abdomen: "Die." ”

Althea shuddered, and as blood shot out of her chest, she quickly fell to the ground, completely losing her life.

Lu En shook off the blood on the blade of Frost's Sorrow, and said coldly, "Hang Althea's body at the gate of Night Town to show the public." ”

Margaret's eyes turned red for a moment, and she took a deep breath before walking over to Althea's body.

Lu En turned and walked towards the outside of the town hall: "Issued a proclamation, the leader of the Night's Watch, Althea, has been executed by me due to the rebellion, now you go and help me choose a leader of the Night's Watch who is loyal enough." ”

"Also, Margaret, I want you to use all the gold coins in Nightlight Town to buy food and weapons, and we'll be cleaning up the werewolves on the surrounding farms in a day's time. ”

After saying this, Lu En walked out of the town hall, he could have not killed Althea, but he had to do it, not to mention that Althea had a hatred for him, and he had an army in his hand, even for the sake of the stability of Night Town, Althea had to die.

Because she is the daughter of the former leader and the leader of the Night's Watch, she has a lot of appeal in Nighttown, and since Nighttown has just been conquered, being able to kill the previous leader of this place is one of the best ways to stabilize the region.

Lu En walked on the square of Night Town, he looked at the moon in the sky, and a trace of discomfort welled up in his heart: "It's just that this kind of thing is too cruel for Althea." ”

"Maybe this world is cruel, if there is a riot in Nighttown, I don't know how many people will die. The words that came out of Lu's mouth grew smaller and smaller, and then he rode on the back of the skeleton warhorse, and then remained motionless.

Time passed quickly, and when the red light of dawn emerged from the mountains, Lu chose a loyal little girl from the Night's Watch to continue to lead the Night's Watch force, promising to give them the best equipment.

Ten minutes later, the entire inhabitants of Nighttown were herded up in the square by Lu En to listen to his speech.

"I'm glad you're here, even though you're forced, but you're going to witness history soon. ”

"I'm here today to tell you one thing, that is, Nightshade intends to wage war against the werewolves on the surrounding farms, and if it succeeds, you don't have to worry about being hunted by werewolves on the road, and you will also have a job on the farm. ”

"There is no failure, and there is no failure to fail, because those werewolves hunt humans, killing all men, women, and children, and the land they have stolen is itself something that belongs to Nighttown, and I ask you to kill them all without stopping until you clear them out of the Twilight Forest. ”

"The leather on a werewolf is valuable, and I declare that for every werewolf killed and the leather is peeled, ten copper coins will be exchanged. ”
