Cahill paced anxiously back and forth in the Doge's palace with his hands on his back, and it had been most of the day since Thelo had led his army out of the city, and he had not yet returned. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It wasn't that he didn't send soldiers over to check on the situation, but the weather was very bad today, and the snow was all over the place, blocking most things.

Through the heavy wind and snow, it is not clear what the current situation is, but when he set off, Selo said it conclusively.

He completely made a package ticket, and guaranteed that he could capture Lin Ye, the Duke of the Far East, who dared to attack himself, to the Governor's Palace.

"Why hasn't there been any news for so long, nothing will happen, right? There are so many people under Thero's command, there shouldn't be an accident. ”

Cahill couldn't give up, his eyelids kept jumping, in fact, he didn't have to worry so much, he could have sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai.

But not long ago, he received news that as the soldiers left the city, the already unstable situation in the Iron Helmet City became more and more turbulent.

This was also the fault of the abominable Duke of the Far East, who had suddenly appeared in the heart of the Empire, setting off an unprecedented storm.

Wherever he passed, the civilians who were usually honest and honest in forcing sheep followed the demons and responded one after another, openly rebelling against the local lords.

The Duke of the Far East passed through a large number of nobles who were executed by him, and he simply forgot that he was also a nobleman.

Even the places he did not pass through were infected like a plague, and more and more people took up arms to preach so-called freedom.

This is especially true in the south of the Tiebi Province, where almost half of the province has fallen, and the fire has spread to the north.

Even though it was still the middle of winter, I could feel the fiery atmosphere, and it was better to have soldiers suppress it in the city before, but with the large number of soldiers brought out of the city by Selo, there was a lack of effective suppression methods, and the city also heard that the Duke of the Far East had attacked the Iron Helmet City.

This was a response, and a large number of citizens began to take to the streets, and the garrison in the city alone became more and more inadequate.

"Your Excellency the Governor, the situation in the city is a little out of control, we have arrested many people, but those Diao people are still gathering in the square and refuse to leave, we must send more troops to maintain order, otherwise the consequences may be unimaginable, my lord. ”

The officer of the Guard in charge of the security of the Governor's Palace wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, he had just come from the other side of the square, and the severity of the situation was worse than he had said.

"All the soldiers who can be sent have been sent, where is there any spare strength to reinforce, but as long as you persevere, when Selo comes back from the victory, none of those Diao people can escape, hmph, when the elder brother is here, these Diao people all obediently pay taxes and dare not take action. ”

"But not long after the elder brother left, they all stood up and rebelled, forgetting the kindness of our family to give them land and protect their lives, and isn't it a very proper thing to collect some taxes from them?

Cahill was furious, with a great deal of resentment, and in his anger he picked up a cup and smashed it to the ground.

This is a high-grade glass product bought from the royal capital, which is expensive, and it is said that it is a new thing that came from the north, and it is crystal clear.

It was very popular in aristocratic circles, and it was likely to replace silver as a highly sought-after new vessel, and there were few sets in Iron Helmet.

"General Theloh, speaking of which, he should also come back, today's weather is too bad, just like this, most of the results will not be achieved, it must be our own troops, in fact, this kind of weather we are completely able to defend against any enemy attack. ”

The officer, from a strategic standpoint, insisted that holding out was the best option, and that Thero should return his troops.

"Your Excellency, General Thelo, he has returned, please be sure to go and have a look. While the two were talking, another officer hurried over, his expression anxious and frightened, and a deep sense of apprehension, but Cahill did not notice this.

"Is Thero, he's finally back? Great, with him in the city, I'm not afraid of those people making trouble, he's won the battle, and he's already captured that bastard duke who has no sense of being a noble? ”

Cahill was overjoyed and immediately followed the officer in the direction of the city gates, and the officer looked at Cahill and stopped.

With a long sigh, he led Cahill in the direction of the city gates, hoping that the governor, who had just taken over for a short time, would not be too shocked.

At the same time, in the tavern of Iron Helmet City, a large number of ordinary citizens gathered, and most of these citizens were craftsmen from the lower classes.

They were warming themselves with wine, and it was so cold that one of them, a bearded man about forty years old, had a glass of wine.

"Everyone listen to me, now that the Duke has called, and the executioner of Thelo has gone out with people to meet him, we don't know too well what the battle will be outside the city, but one thing is for sure, no matter what the battle situation is outside, this is an opportunity for us. ”

He slammed the wooden glass on the bar, and the tavern owner at the bar wiped the glass silently, not participating in the discussion.

After all, he is old and gray-haired, and he can't participate in this kind of thing, all he can do is provide them with a place.

And then quietly waiting for the change to come, maybe there really will be a day? There are so many things he has witnessed at his age that he is too lazy to care.

"Opportunity, what opportunity, Brother Boken, tell us what we should do now, we are really fed up with the Cahill brothers' governance, and they have turned the whole province of Ironwall into a miasma, and imposed heavy taxes, so that we can't live at all. ”

"Yes, several of my relatives in the south have been ruined, I thought Cahill was a little better than his brother, but I didn't expect it to get worse after coming to power, if it goes on like this, we will suffer in two months at most, we have to do something, we can't sit still!"

"After the Duke of the Far East came to Tiebi Province, he rescued the entire southern part of the province, if it weren't for him, I don't know how many people would have broken up their wives and families, and he would have executed all those nobles who had done a lot of evil, it was simply the great savior of our Tiebi Province!"

The tavern is filled with the lowest craftsmen, who drink the cheapest wine and do the hardest work, and are already very dissatisfied with the status quo.

"That's right, we can't live anymore because of the Cahill brothers, it's a death story, it's better to get out this time, let's start an action in the city, respond to the Duke, we've had enough of this kind of life, we also have to choose our own lives!"

The bearded Boken put down his glass, picked up the axe against the wall, and headed out into the snowstorm.
