Chapter 261: Lynn, the God of Miners?
"Hamm, take someone to search this church, and remember to destroy the statue of the goddess so that nothing goes wrong." Raeder commanded against the tingling sensation in his brain, and then without resting, he took the rest of the people and began to clean up the battlefield, especially to bury the bodies of the miners.
More than forty people died in the capture of this church, Raeder couldn't help but sigh, although he had already valued these clergy very much, and brought all the captured crossbow arrows, but the strength of the other party still exceeded his expectations......
Good thing it's all over!
By the time the matter was cleaned up, it was already evening, and Count Joyce's finances had been counted, and boxes of gold and treasures were piled up in the entire treasury, which was dazzling to see.
Raeder began his usual routine of gathering the poor and miners of the entire town and dividing the treasure from Joyce's land.
"Are they really going to be divided?" Hamm couldn't help but ask, when he was in the barony before, when he saw Raeder divide the property, he felt a little incredible, this is at least worth tens of thousands of imperial gold coins!
"Of course, according to Lord Lynn, this wealth was squeezed out of the pauper, and now I just give it back to them." Raeder said very solemnly, and after a pause, he continued. "How else we can take all these things with us?"
This is clearly impractical......
Raeder knew that although he had captured the Earl's castle, he could not defend the castle with these stragglers, let alone confront those regular troops, so he could only keep running and shifting his position.
Carrying these treasures will only slow them down, and it would be better to have extra bags and clothing for food.
Hamm watched with admiration and pity as Raeder's guards opened chests full of gold and silver and distributed them to miners and paupers.
Many people are afraid to accept the kindness of Raeder and others, and even wonder if they have some ulterior motives, Raeder doesn't care, trust always needs to have a process.
Under the temptation of tangible profits, the vast majority of miners and poor people chose to accept their good intentions.
Joyce's fortune seemed to be many, but many of them were treasures that could not be valued, and the rest was divided between each of them, with each of them receiving about thirty silver coins, and the miners who participated in the battle received one gold coin as a reward for their bravery.
Raeder's generosity was also the reason why these people dared to smash the statue of the goddess.
After dividing the gold and silver of the Earl, and bringing the two sides closer, Raeder took out his killer weapon, which was to hold a large bonfire banquet, and everyone gathered to complain about the harsh treatment of the overseers and nobles in the past.
For example, the Baron of York, who was greedy and stingy, built an incomparably luxurious manor, but was even willing to give them a few pieces of black bread and unpalatable wheat leaf porridge for the miners who risked their lives to dig ore in the mines, and even ate half of their food was a luxury.
Another example is that a brutal affairs officer is drunk and whips himself in public for no reason......
There are simply not too many similar sufferings, even if they can't be talked about for a few days and nights, those high-ranking nobles and lords don't treat them as human beings at all, and all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes on the territory and the church almost crush people, and just living is already a luxury.
At first, the poor people of the county only dared to stand at a distance and listen, but soon the more they listened, the more angry they became, and finally they joined in with a curse......
So much so that there were so many angry paupers that Raeder had to let his guards come out to take charge of maintaining order, and then ordered people to bring up all kinds of delicacies stored in the Earl's mansion.
For the first time, many poor people and miners were able to eat "delicious" white bread, nibble on a leg of lamb, or drink a little "noble" red wine, and experienced the luxurious life of the aristocracy.
"Lord Raeder, when you were in the church today, were you calling for divine punishment?" As the bonfire feast was underway, a young miner couldn't help but ask
。
For a while, Hamm and the others also hurriedly watched, the scene that happened in the church was simply beyond their cognition, a succession of lightning fell from the sky, almost bursting their eardrums, and instantly split the powerful bishop in their eyes into a charred corpse, in the minds of Hamm and the others, only divine punishment is enough to describe such a terrifying scene!
"No, it's not divine punishment, it's the use of the laws of electromagnetism......" Raeder hurriedly explained.
It's just that everyone present can hear in the clouds, what kind of charge accumulation, electric potential difference, far beyond the scope of their brains can understand.
Most people firmly believe that Raeder must have been favored by the gods!
Some of the miners from the barony even boasted about how Raeder led them to kill the evil overseers, and the night raid on the barony killed York in his sleep, and then sang all the way, scaring the Grand Earl Joyce so much that he didn't even dare to return to the castle.
In the midst of everyone's boasting, Raeder's cheeks flushed, and his face was a little more cramped as a young man, some of which were indeed his handiwork, but many of which were not his credit......
Especially when dealing with Joyce, he lacked experience in leading the army, and he often asked the mysterious wizard for advice, and even the method of calling everyone to complain was given to him by the other party.
"You must have been guided by a true god!" One of the miners shouted excitedly, since it was Raeder who told them that the so-called Moon Goddess [Ella] was just a false god, using faith to fool them, and there was no difference between the legendary terrifying and evil gods and demons, but the hidden ones were more profound.
Raddell must have been received by the true God, or had been inspired in a dream, to know all this.
Hearing this, Raeder also fell silent, because he still didn't know who the mysterious and powerful wizard was, and why he chose him.
He only knew that the other party's profound knowledge was as vast as the sea, and he could even give magic to himself, if it weren't for the other party's self-proclaimed wizard, he was afraid that he would think that he had received the real divine revelation like these people.
However, in Raeder's eyes, Lynn, who knows everything and has displayed all kinds of magical abilities, is no different from a god, and is still a god who is willing to save their lowly miners......
