The Bloods had no intention of fighting, and the human army soon regained the city of Bilodge without any suspense. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The battle-torn city of Biloch was almost in ruins, with most of its walls crumbling and columns of heavy cavalry roaming the rubble streets on horseback.

In this battle, the Knights of the Holy John's Empire stationed in the Duchy of Morowing, at the request of the Grand Duke of Audinan, joined the battle, and their forces almost overwhelmingly superior Princess Dalys's side.

Relor glanced at the city in front of him with a proud expression, the bearded man was the commander of the Imperial garrison and the head of the Knights of the "Silver Radiance".

"Let's go! You bastards, you dare to resist the Imperial Army!" several knights of the "Silverlight" Knights escorted a hundred or so childish-looking teenagers forward.

The boys' faces were terrified and scarred, and if it weren't for the rudimentary leather armor they were all wearing, no one would have recognized them as a group of soldiers.

"General Reylor, what should we do with our captives?" a knight asked in a respectful voice as he walked up to Reylor.

"A bunch of people who don't know how to live or die dare to resist the Imperial Army!" Rylor waved his hand impatiently, "Execute on the spot!"

"Yes!" the knight commanded, drew his saber and walked towards the bound boys.

"Don't, sir, please spare our lives!"

"I was forced here by them, and I really can't help it......"

Faced with the threat of death, the teenagers were terrified, knelt down one after another, and begged for mercy.

The knight paid no heed to their pleadings, and his sword fell, blood splattered, and heads fell to the ground.

"Stop! what are you doing? Stop!" After cutting off seven or eight heads in a row, a figure rushed over, it was a man in his early thirties, and I saw him slam into the execution knight, snatching the long knife that was dripping blood, and leaving it on the ground.

Relore squinted slightly at the person who came in, he was slender, dressed in a plain black robe, but the golden crown on his head prominently identified his identity------- Grand Duke of Morowing, Odinan.

"Your Highness, please do not interfere with the knights of the empire in the execution of their official duties. Rylor bowed slightly, pointing at the group of trembling teenagers on the ground, "This group of traitors dares to assist the demons in attacking the imperial army, and they should all be executed!"

"Mr. Reylor!" said Odinan angrily, "they are my citizens, and they should be handled by me, so I don't need you to overstep your needs!"

"Oh, I wonder what His Excellency the Grand Duke plans to do with these demon minions?" Relore's face sank, and his words were obviously a little unhappy.

"I've investigated, and they're only teenagers, and they're all strong men who have been forcibly recruited. Odinan looked at the childish faces on the ground, and swayed his sword, cutting the ropes that bound the teenagers one by one.

"They are victims themselves and should not be held too guilty, and such executions are unfair to them. Odinan stared at Relor with a loud voice, and then let the teenagers go in front of everyone.

After thanking Odinan for his kindness, the boys took off their tattered armor and left the place that smelled of blood.

Reylor's face turned dark, and he said: "Your Excellency doesn't seem to plan to severely punish the accomplices of the demon clan, in this case, I don't know what is the point of you going to great lengths to invite us to recover this ruined city?

Odinan took a deep breath, "General Reylor, first of all, on behalf of the Principality of Moloving, I would like to express my high gratitude to the Empire for its assistance, in addition, I will make up the military expenses required by your army as soon as possible, but during this period, I hope that the general can restrain military discipline, and I don't want to see any more cases of soldiers from your country robbing civilians!"

The young Grand Duke Morowing's eyebrows revealed a hint of anger, after the city was broken, he saw more than one incident of St. John's Imperial soldiers robbing civilians, the Imperial officers not only acquiesced and connived at the behavior of their subordinates, but also took the lead in robbery, he was about to run over to tell Reylor about it, but saw that the other party was executing some "prisoners of war" who were only thirteen or fourteen years old.

Relor clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Then I hope that His Excellency the Grand Duke can fulfill his promise as soon as possible, the Imperial Army doesn't want to be anyone's free thug!"

He turned his head to the knights around him and ordered: "Pass the order, strict military discipline! If there is another situation of robbing civilians, military law will deal with it! A curfew will be imposed on the whole city! Any suspicious crowd that violates the curfew will be killed on the spot!" His last sentence was shouted almost in front of Audi Nan.

The surrounding horsemen heard the order, jumped on their horses, and galloped away.

"Your Excellency, I have ordered strict military discipline, but I hope you will understand that we are not obligated to fight for you unnecessarily!"

The next day, the morning sun warmly shone on the city of Bilochi, and the people who survived the catastrophe finally came out of the ruins and started their new lives.

As the largest building in the city, the Lord's Mansion was preserved after the war, and it became the temporary office of the Grand Duke of Odinand.

Shortly after the reconquest of the city of Bilodge, Odinan had to receive an extremely important guest------ Greco, the governor of the Empire of St. John.

Greco sat not far to the left of Audinan, dressed in a glittering golden suit, and his fat figure had sunk the sofa under his seat into a huge pit.

"Your Excellency the Grand Duke has won the battle and regained the lost ground, which is worth congratulating!" Greco squinted his thin eyes slightly, and stared at Odinan with a non-smiling smile.

"Hehe, thanks to the timely help of the Empire, we have been able to win, and Morowing will always remember the kindness of the Empire and the Governor. "Audi Nan has a smile on her face and a humble attitude.

After being demoted to a principality, Morowin had been reduced to a semi-independent state, and the imperial governor enjoyed great privileges in his country, so even if Odinan was the king, he would not dare to neglect the big-bellied governor in front of him.

Greco took a cup of coffee from his entourage and said leisurely: "Your country has been attacked by demons, as the suzerain, the empire is naturally obliged to give appropriate assistance, but ......" He suddenly changed his words and snorted coldly, "Now that this rich medical holy land has been recovered, shouldn't the arrears of your country's tribute also be paid?" He stared coldly at the young monarch seat, his words revealing obvious dissatisfaction.

As a vassal state, it is necessary to pay a portion of its own tax revenue to the suzerainty every year in exchange for the "protection" of the suzerain, and the Duchy of Morowing, which has not paid tribute for several years since Odinan came to power, has led to dissatisfaction among the upper echelons of the empire.

Odinan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Your Excellency the Governor, our Morowin has been plagued by wars and people's livelihoods, and you have seen that even the richest city of Biloch has been destroyed by the war and reduced to ruins, so I hope that the Empire can understand the difficulties of our country, and I also ask for a period of grace for the matter of tribute......

Greco frowned impatiently, "Your Excellency, war is not a reason for you to default on your tribute, the empire has fulfilled the responsibility of the suzerain, I hope you can also fulfill the obligations of the subject country as soon as possible, otherwise ......"

"Report!, Your Highness, Lord Auray is asking to see you outside the door!" a report from one of the guards interrupted Greco's chatter.

"Ore, is that the original Lord of Bilodge?" Odinan pouted, "Bring him in!"

Dressed in a well-dressed tuxedo and with a medal symbolizing nosbility on his chest, the former lord of Billoch walked to the hall under the guidance of the guards.

He was a middle-aged nobleman with elegant manners and a lot of grace, and when he came to the hall, he took off his hat and saluted Odinan and Greco successively, and then said in a loud voice: "Your Royal Highness the most noble, Lord Governor, I am Ore, the lord of Bilochi, and I would like to express my sincere thanks to you both of you, who have recovered Biloch, and have recovered them......

After a long rambling ramble of polite, flattering nonsense, Auray finally explained the purpose of his visit-------- asked the Grand Duke of Odinand to restore him as lord of the city.

"Hey, City Lord?" Audinan raised his eyes and glanced at Ou Lei, who was dressed in aristocratic temperament, and sneered: "I don't know what qualifications Mr. Ou Lei has to take the position of this city lord?"

Ou Lei unhurriedly took out a contract from his bosom, handed it to Odinan, and then pointed to the noble badge on his chest, "His Royal Highness, the position of the city lord of Rocky City is hereditary from my Frey family, and this paper contract is clearly written, in addition, my identity as the hereditary city lord is also recognized by the empire, so ......"

Ole soon couldn't say any more, because Oddinan didn't even glance at the contract, and raised his hand to tear it to shreds.

"As the lord of a city, the enemy army pressed the border, but he fled before he fought, and he only cared about his personal safety and abandoned the inhabitants of the city...... Even now, you still have the face to beg me to restore your position as the city lord?" Odinan stared at Ou Lei coldly, his face full of anger, "Guards, take down this guy who escaped from the battle and cut it down!"

Two heavily armored guards grabbed a stunned Ole and dragged him out the door.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, I am the hereditary lord of Biloch City, you can't ......do this to me," Ou Lei howled loudly like chaff.

"The position of the city lord is not worthy of being held by a coward!" Audinan coldly ordered: "Behead the former city lord Ou Lei to show the public, and at the same time, cancel the treatment of the hereditary city lord of the Frey family!"

"Yes!" the guards ignored Ole's cries and dragged him out the door.

"Hehe......" Greco clapped his hands and laughed, his fat face trembling slightly with laughter: "Your Excellency is really courageous! He is worthy of being the youngest and most promising monarch of Morrowin in history, and I hope that Your Excellency can solve the problem in time, so as not to disappoint us again." ”

With that, Greco slowly got up, accompanied by his entourage, and walked out of the City Lord's Mansion without looking back.
