"Your Lord! Your Lord! ”

Abi's shouting became more and more anxious, and he did not find any guards along the way, and at this moment Abi had come to the square, and the serfs in the vicinity were watching him strangely.

At this moment, Abi hesitated a little whether he should just shout out the news of the pirate attack, and then go to find his wife and mother, so that he could fulfill his responsibility.

But although Abi is a serf, he also knows that when he shouts, the crowd in the whole town will inevitably be chaotic, and when the chaotic crowd tramples and collides, it may become harmful to save people.

"Why don't you go to the castle and tell the guards to come back, should it be too late?"

Abi looked at the castle in the distance with some hesitation, and was engaged in a psychological struggle.

"Your name is Abi, what is the matter with the lord."

Just as Abi was making a choice, several people suddenly walked in the crowd not far away, it was Thomas and a few manservants.

Gervais received the news of the appearance of the pirates and went to the beach with all the soldiers, because out of confidence in himself and did not want to interrupt the harvest festival, lest the serfs in the seaside mountain village return to the mountain village for fear of food being plundered, Gervais did not inform the serfs of the news, but secretly asked Thomas to take a few servants to be responsible for maintaining order in the town.

Thomas had just been patrolling the back of the town, and when he arrived in the square, he found someone shouting for the lord, so Thomas squeezed through the crowd and saw Abi, and found that it was the husband of the girl he had taken that day.

"Your Excellency! Butler! ”

The moment Abbie saw Thomas, he seemed to have found the backbone of the main body, and hurriedly ran towards Thomas.

"Lord Butler, I have seen a lot of pirates on the banks of the Withered Leaf River, many, many of them, and I can't see the end of them at a glance, and Benny is among them!"

Abi came up to Thomas and said eagerly in a low voice.

"What? How is this possible! ”

Thomas, who was still calm, was shocked and exclaimed in disbelief, attracting many serfs to watch.

After exclaiming, Thomas also found that he had lost his temper and attracted the attention of the crowd, so he lowered his voice and said, "Abi, did you see it with your own eyes?" Are you really sure the pirates have landed on the other side of the Dead Leaf River? And Benny leads the way? ”

Thomas knew that there was a pirate ship on the beach, but Abi said that there were also pirates in the Dead Leaf River Forest, which made Thomas feel incredible, could it be that the pirates should unite to deal with the Storm Lord?

"Lord Steward, I dare not lie, I saw many pirates in the forest by the Withered Leaf River when I was looking for vines, they are rushing here under the leadership of Benny, and I ran all the way back to report to the lord!"

Seeing that Thomas didn't believe him, Abi was a little anxious, although he ran faster, but the pirates would definitely be able to come to Marina Town in half an hour at most, and he hadn't found Lily yet!

After being confirmed by Abi again, Thomas's face was also a little pale, he was just a butler, not a battlefield commander.

"What to do, what to do, my lord took all the guards to the beach!"

Thomas looked at the cheerful crowd and thought that there were only four guards in the castle at the moment, and if the pirates did come, these serfs would definitely suffer!

"Lord Butler, the villain has now told you that I'm going to find Lily and my mother!"

Seeing Thomas's face, Abi knew that the butler must have believed his words, so he dared to resign.

"Well, yes, Abi, you've done a good job this time, and you can come to the castle after finding your wife and mother!"

Thomas nodded, watching Abi blend into the crowd as Thomas moved.

Thomas quickly walked to the high platform in the square, then took a few deep breaths, tried to keep himself calm, and shouted into the crowd!

"Quiet! Quiet for all! ”

The deterrent power of Butler Thomas was still huge, and soon the serfs quieted down, stretching their necks and wondering what the butler was going to say at this time!

"Your Excellency has also prepared a small event for today's harvest festival!"

"It's for all of you to run to the border of the territory to the southwest and meet in the buffer zone over there, but you have to bring your family to get there, and if you are the fastest, there is no reward. Do you hear that? ”

"As for the rewards! The first 50 fastest families will get 10 pieces of brown bread and 10 pieces of roast! ”

Wow!

When Thomas's words were spoken, all the serfs in the audience were in an uproar, which was a surprise, as long as the reward was enough for the family of four to eat two or three days' rations, especially the pieces of meat.

"That's it! Now the event can begin! However, you are not allowed to run until you leave the town limits, and if anyone causes chaos and I see it, you will be disqualified from the race! And 10 lashes to get it! ”

Hearing that it was time to start, the serfs could no longer sit still, and all of them took their families in the direction of the buffer zone of Lenny's territory.

Because of Thomas's warning, the serfs did not dare to run now, but walked at a rapid pace.

Some of the serfs' families were around, but many of the serfs were separated from their families, especially some children wandering around the town, and their parents began to cry out eagerly to find them, and the shouts in the town were incessant.

However, although the town was a little noisy, there was no major chaos after all, which made Thomas breathe a sigh of relief, and of course he could think of it.

If you shout that pirates are coming, the serfs will definitely make a mess, and if you push me, the children and the old will suffer.

"Aka!"

Seeing that the serfs were moving, Thomas quickly called out to a manservant.

"Now you go to the castle and set up a carriage to go to the buffer zone in the southwest and wait for these serfs, and when they arrive, let them wait there for the notice, and tell them that the reward will not be distributed until the lord returns, and no one is allowed to run around!"

"Yes, Butler Thomas!"

The manservant named Aka hurriedly agreed.

"Just ride the chariot with the black bread! If no one comes to inform you in the afternoon, you will give bread to the serfs to eat, but no one will be allowed to return to the town! ”

Thomas thought for a moment and added.

"Jim, you go to the castle quickly, tell the guards there, let them ride to the beach to find the lord, and tell the lord that there is a large group of pirates coming to the castle on the Withered Leaf River Avenue, and Benny is among them!"

Thomas had calmed down at the moment, showing the demeanor of his butler, and began to issue orders in an orderly manner.

"Ahh

The servants hadn't heard Thomas and Abi's conversation, but now they were startled when they heard of a pirate, and they shuddered!

"Idiot! Ahh Remember what I commanded! ”

Now the situation is critical, and Thomas can't care about his temper.

"Remembered, remembered! Butler! ”

Seeing that Thomas was angry, Jim did not care about being afraid, so he immediately answered Thomas, and then ran quickly towards the castle.

Then Thomas sent his servants to the construction site outside the town to find Anna, and arranged for the slaves to hide in the castle.

The reason why Thomas didn't let the serfs hide in the castle was that the front courtyard of the castle was too small, and more than 3,000 people would definitely be stuffed into it, and the other was that he wasn't sure if there would be pirates among the serfs, after all, from today's situation, the pirates must have been premeditated.

As for the slaves, don't worry, these slaves were bought in Winterfell, and pirates can't mix in the slave pile to do coolies!

After everything was arranged, Thomas and the rest of his servants ran quickly towards the town's stone house.

If the population is the most important thing in the town, then the rest are the blacksmith shop, the heavenly stone house, and Brian's fortification shop, and Thomas is going to inform them now.

The two servants were sent to Brian and the Heavenly Stone House, respectively, while Thomas himself came to the blacksmith's shop.

"Bernard, Bernard, quick...... Take those well-built weapons to the castle, pirates are coming! ”

"What? Got pirates? ”

Before Bernard could speak, Alec, who was holding a small hammer bare-chested, shouted, but his eyes were full of war.

"Yes, there are at least two groups of pirates, one with a lot of people, from the Dry Leaf River Avenue, and the other wave with five large ships, in the seaside mountain village."

"You quickly bring the weapons you have built, go to the castle to hide, the lord took all the guards to the seaside mountain village, although I sent someone to inform the lord, but the lord will definitely not return so soon, I will lock the castle gate later!"

After listening to Thomas's words, Alec and Bernard realized the seriousness of the matter, so they and the three apprentices went out of the blacksmith with finished or half-finished weapons and armor.

More than twenty minutes later, except for the serfs who were deceived into going to the border of the territory, everyone had already taken refuge in the castle, including Abi, who had already found his wife and mother, and the originally lively coastal town had become an empty town, and even the caravan finally received a notice from Thomas to take refuge in the direction of Lenny's territory.

"Close the gates, shut the castle gates!"

At Thomas's command, the heavy castle gates were shut, and the huge sleepers were fastened on both sides of the gates.

When the castle gate was closed, a large procession appeared in the field of view of everyone on the city wall, outside the town in the direction of the Withered Leaf River.
