The Free Folk Temporary Residence was bustling with people, more than 3,000 people had gathered here in just one month, and the recent heavy rains had tormented people, and when the rain stopped, people came out of their cramped shacks and moved their stiff bodies and wrung out their wet clothes.

Green stood on a rocky rock, looking at the chaotic crowd below, his face gloomy as a dark cloud in the sky. In the past few days, there has been a constant influx of freemen into this camp, two or three hundred at a time, and it is obvious that someone is secretly organizing. Green inquired a little, these people were all freedmen from the Viscount of Buryatia. If the Viscount of Buryatia hadn't been behind it, Green would never have believed it.

Thinking of the task given by the Earl of York, Green was a little worried, now it was not only the mountain people who were trying to control this place, but even the Viscount of Buryatia was not at ease.

"You can only take one step at a time. Green thought sadly that he had arranged for one of his men to report back to Blackcastle. If the Viscount of Buryatia really plotted against Baron Victor, he would not be able to fight it with his manpower.

Green jumped off the stone and walked towards Claude, having already made up his mind that he would not let the paladin leave until support arrived. Now that the Viscount of Buryatia has already made a move, only the church can make his people jealous. Now it's a matter of delaying time. Otherwise, these freedmen would definitely be controlled by the Viscount's people.

"Bang"

Claude had driven a stake deep into the ground, and he was reinforcing a shack that could not withstand the torrential rain and had mostly collapsed.

Claude was so busy that he was ready to lead the team back, but several days of heavy rain interrupted his trip. Claude and his team had to stay here to organize the relief and maintain order, but the lords of the area kept bringing in supplies to give the freedfolk a respite.

Claude was very touched by Baron Victor's actions, and he now knew that the Baron was not a rich lord, and that these supplies and food were a big burden for Baron Victor. At the same time, Claude was ashamed of his recklessness, and most of the freedmen gathered here because they believed in themselves as holy warriors. As Green said, if you don't leave, there will be more people here. But before leaving, Claude wanted to do more for these people, and he knew that even if he withdrew, the people of the camp would not disperse immediately.

Claude straightened up and moved his sore muscles, he hadn't had a good night's sleep these days, and even the holy knights couldn't bear the continuous toil.

"Benson, take a break. Claude couldn't help but shout when he saw a middle-aged man still repairing the shack. The man, Benson, was the leader of the hill people who had recently joined the camp and was a devout believer. It was with him that Claude was able to make up for the shortage of manpower. In the face of this torrential rain, Benson and his men made great efforts, which also won the respect of the holy knights.

"Hmm. Benson dropped the hammer and let out a long sigh. Whenever he was stressed, Benson would work non-stop, which was his habit, and many simple farmers also had this habit.

Benson is under a lot of pressure right now, and Nelson abruptly leads the team away and tells Benson that there are a large number of monsters in his territory. Hearing this, Benson was eager to pull his legs and leave, and if there was anything more terrifying to the farmer than war, it was the hordes of monsters. Benson kept telling himself that he was no longer a farmer, that he was Lord Victor's henchman, the top of the realm, and that he must not panic like an ordinary farmer. His cowardly nature and his own responsibilities make Benson suffer from gains and losses, and he is unable to make decisions, and can only relieve the pressure by working hard.

"Bensen, your face is not very good, are you sick? Go and drink a bowl of root soup. ”

Benson's pale face made Claude a little worried, but it was a pity that the paladin could not use magic on others, and in this case, even if the paladin himself was sick, he could only drink some herbal soup.

"I'm fine. Benson smiled reluctantly at Claude, his eyes wandering, he didn't know whether to tell the paladin the news.

When Claude was about to persuade Benson again, Green walked over.

"Hey, Claude, Benson. Green accosted the two of them as he racked his brains as he figured out how he could convince the paladin to stay longer.

"Green!" Claude laughed, and Green had grown into a good friendship with him for some time. Of course, the young paladin would not have known that Grimm was deliberately currying favor with him.

Benson nodded disapprovingly, he had said hello, he didn't have the heart to talk to Green right now.

"Well, the weather is nice. Grimm was depressed to find that he couldn't find a suitable reason to keep the paladin, so he had to casually laugh haha.

Claude looked up at the cloudy sky, and couldn't help but feel a little worried, it seems that this rainstorm has made Benson sick alone.

White looked at Green, Claude, and Benson from afar, pouting disdainfully.

"My lord, that Benson and Green seem to have a good relationship with the paladin. Fulin walked up to White's side and whispered, "I am worried that there are paladins to support them。。。。。 ”

"Worry about. White rudely interrupted his men.

"Here, more than half of our territory are free people, and there are dozens of us. Not to mention that the paladins are leaving, what if they don't, what if we don't, at least half of the people will follow us and rush in. The Holy Warrior can't stop it!"

White was not only a member of the Buryatia Viscounty, but also a midshipman, and he was loyal to the Viscount's younger brother, Lord Austin. This time, White deigned to infiltrate the freedfolk settlement on Austen's orders, intending to organize the freedmen to storm Victor's territory.

As Austen's henchman, White knows the inside scoop. A big man promised that if Lord Austin overthrew Baron Victor, he would get a barony. If this is done, White's position of power will also rise. White knew that the attack on Victor would cause a lot of casualties among the freedmen, and most of them were freedmen born and raised in the territory of Buryatia, but compared to the interests behind it, Austin didn't care about sacrificing some freedmen who only dreamed all day long, and White didn't care even more.

Green and Benson's various moves to win over people's hearts fell into White's eyes, in his opinion, Green is a free man with some ambitions, and Benson is simply Baron Victor's backhand, which can be seen from Benson with dozens of men.

The behavior of these two people jumping up and down made White scoff. In order to ensure the success of this matter, Austin secretly encouraged many freedmen to try their luck in Victor's territory, and mixed a large number of people with the outcasts. In fact, White has taken control of the camp. If it weren't for Claude's background, White would have been on the move, and he wouldn't want to stay in this filthy freedfolk residence for a moment. However, at the thought of Lord Austen's entrustment, White could only endure silently.

Just when several people had their own thoughts, the villagers of more than 300 brick kiln villages finally arrived here. So many people came at once, and it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Dean!"

Benson saw Dean coming over with the people with a panicked face, and he couldn't care about disguise anymore, he rushed directly to Dean and asked, "Are there really many monsters in the territory?"

"Benson, why are you here? weren't you kicked out of the territory by the adults?" Dean exclaimed in surprise.

"You know what? Our departure from the camp was deliberately arranged by the adults. Dean's look of surprise made Benson very proud, and the depression of being kicked out of the hill camp was swept away. But when I thought of the threat of the monster, this feeling of raising my eyebrows faded again.

"Leave my business alone, you tell me about the monster first, is it true?"

"I don't know! We received a summons from Master Victor, and we rushed over. I'm not sure if what Benson said is true, but after all, it's an old acquaintance, and Dean still describes the matter to Benson in a fifteen-ten way.

"What the hell is going on?" Claude walked up with a circle of people and asked with a serious face, "Benson, who are you?"

Benson smiled bitterly and explained, "Lord Claude, I heard that you are going back to Blackcastle, and in order to prevent accidents, Lord Victor sent me to secretly maintain order among the free people. You know, we can't come out in public about this kind of thing, or we're going to get more freedmen running over. ”

"Now, I have received news that many unknown monsters have appeared in the territory, and Captain Nelson has led the team back to support. ”

Claude is no longer as stunned as he was at the beginning, and it is understandable for Benson to hide his identity, but he is most concerned about the problem of monsters.

"Monsters, besieged Baron Victor, aren't they ferocious wolves?"

Dean said heavily, "It's not clear what kind of monster it is, I think it's better to be ready to retreat." ”

Claude hesitated, as a holy warrior to destroy monsters and protect the people is their duty, now that the monsters are besieging Baron Victor, he should lead the team to support, but what should so many ordinary people do here? Whether to support the lord, or to lead people to retreat first, Claude has no choice for a while.

When White saw this scene, he secretly screamed, and he thought that this was obviously a play sent by Baron Victor to scare all the freedmen away. White gestured to his men and shouted, "You are all liars!

White's sudden attack made everyone stunned, and before Benson could react, White shouted again: "Listen, everyone! It was Lord Victor who gave us food, it was Lord Victor who brought us clothes and carriages, and Lord Victor is the benevolent lord!"

"Now, Lord Victor is going to recruit people. But some people don't want us to join the division of work! they want to monopolize the land!"

At White's suggestion, Austen's manpower began to clamor.

"They must be lying to us! If there really are monsters besieging the Baron, why don't they help the Baron hold the castle!"

"We're going to join the Split Work System!"

"Originally, they were free people like us, so why didn't they let us become vassals!"

Under the instigation of these people, the emotions of the free people were aroused, and the lack of food and clothing, and the torrential rain caused them to suffer terribly, and the threat of the ferocious wolves made them panic and uneasy, and they ran so far and suffered so much, why could they not join the division of work system?

The chaos caught Claude off guard, and he yelled at White, "Are you crazy?"

Whiteley didn't pay attention to the paladin, he wanted to directly lead people to attack the Victor Collar!"There are so many of us, what are a few ferocious wolves? Let's rush in! We want to join the division of work!"

"Let's rush in!"

"Go in a group, the fierce wolf doesn't dare to appear!"

"We're going to be vassals!"

Dozens of his men responded to White's call and constantly agitated the surrounding crowd

The scene was completely out of control, and Claude's face changed dramatically, and at that moment, a series of hurried horses' hooves were heard. It didn't take long for a dozen cavalrymen to arrive here, led by none other than Lilia.

Glancing coldly at the commotion of the crowd, Lilia shouted to Dean and Benson, "Take our men to Blackcastle, the monsters have captured the hill camp!

Lilia turned her horse's head and fled in the dust surrounded by a dozen horsemen. Benson and Dean didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately called for their men to form a team and move in the direction of Blackcastle Town.

Seeing the people of Victor Territory decisively leave the station, Claude was already fully convinced that there were indeed unknown monsters in this territory, and he rushed to the front of the crowd and shouted: "Everyone listen to me!

Claude's high prestige among the outcasts, and the fact that the villagers of Victor did not hesitate to head north, the freedmen began to be skeptical of the monster's claims. White sneered: "They really look alike! If Master Victor leads the team to evacuate, we will believe it! Even if there are monsters, what are so many of us afraid of? Aren't everyone working so hard to come here just to join Victor Leader? Let's go and meet Master Victor!"

White led the way out of the station with his head held high, and Austin's men pushed and agitated in the crowd. In this way, thousands of freedmen followed White forward, losing their minds like stupid sheep, jumping down with the flock even if there was an abyss in front of them.

Claude stomped his foot hatefully, greeted the other paladins and followed the crowd. In any case, the Paladins could not afford to confront the populace with danger and do nothing.

"Why don't you leave?" Claude asked faintly to Green, who was following him.

"I'd like to see what monsters look like. Green said with a grin.

Claude didn't speak, just nodded slightly, the paladin is not a real fool, and there is no need to pursue Green's identity at this time.

The mighty procession continued on for a while, and suddenly it was like the current of water meeting a dam, and it parted to the left and right. The people in the back don't know what's going on, and the people in front are like falling into an ice cave. A small group of half-human, half-ant monsters encountered them.

White gasped as he looked at the few weird Ant-Men, he didn't expect there to really be monsters here. Encountering so many creatures, these scattered Ant-Men instinctively approached the crowd and let out a tentative hiss, facing White at the front of the crowd.

Ant-Man's piercing hiss and hideous appearance startled White, who bore the brunt of the attack, and he didn't want to take out a dagger from his arms and threw it out directly. In a flash, an Ant-Man's head was shot through in an instant. The other Ant-Men immediately screamed excitedly and lunged at White.

"Throw me the sword!"

White kicked an Ant-Man out of the air, took the long sword thrown by his subordinates, and the silver sword light sprinkled into a fan, splitting the two Ant-Man directly, and green blood splashed on his body. Although several Ant-Men are not afraid of death, they are still unable to resist in the face of the apprentice knight holding a sword. White soon slashed Ant-Man to death.

Claude and the paladins rushed up, looking at the monster corpse on the ground and the green-blooded White, their faces serious and heavy.

"Lord Knight, is this what you want?" Claude asked coldly.

White's eyes flickered, and he didn't say a word, and after a while, his complexion changed greatly, and he yelled, "Withdraw!"

Compared to the perception of the trainee knight, the paladin was clearly inferior, and when White pulled away and ran, they heard a hissing sound in the distance. Soon everyone saw that thousands of Ant-Man were rushing towards this place, like a black wave.

The crowd was in chaos, and thousands of freedmen cried and turned to run, while thirty paladins lined up and stood still.

"Claude, you don't run!" Green shouted the Pilgrim Knight.

"Run, Green, we'll stop these monsters!" said Claude, clutching the mace tightly in his hand.

"You're crazy! it's pointless death!" Green scolded angrily, and for some reason, after just a month of getting along, Green actually took this stupid paladin as a partner.

"Someone has to stop the monsters, this is the mission of our holy warriors, there is salvation through sacrifice. ”

Claude's eyes were bright and determined, and there was a majestic momentum that made Green unable to say a word.

Green was gone, and when he heard the paladin utter a neat battle prayer, he couldn't help but look back and see countless Ant-Man drowning those foolish paladins.

The Radiant Paladins are fools!Even the prayers are so stupid!When all things are dark, only the light remains!It's dark, and the light is coming?Grimm thought as he ran.

"Maybe there's really light.......
