Early the next morning.

Port Eyra, on the square in front of St. Andrew's Cathedral.

After reading the indictments of the Rahmans, some of the slaves, and Hadi and the rest of the gang.

With Pepin's order.

The crowd of people who stepped on the tread of the gallows suddenly suspended in the air under their feet, and their bodies suddenly fell, breaking their necks that were tied to the rope.

In the crowd, there was a tsunami-like cheer.

Langdon burst into tears, he had almost been forced to ruin his family by Rahman's Hardy.

"With the Holy Fire above, you do not punish the wicked, but the pagan lords give us justice."

"That being the case, from this day onwards, I will no longer believe in the Holy Fire, but will be baptized and converted in this church in front of me."

There are not a few people who have made the same decision as Langdon.

On this day, the converts, although there were many, were divided for the so-called conversion.

But Lothar didn't care, as long as he converted, it was equivalent to surrendering his name, and when the Saracens came back, they were all the targets of liquidation.

Moreover, the people at the bottom are such a contradiction between piety and unpiety.

People have traveled thousands of miles to come to the Holy Land, and more, isn't it still for the so-called legend of "flowing milk and honey"?

If you can live a good life in this life, no one wants to hope for the ascension to heaven.

…

Few could have imagined that in their eyes, the Rahman heads, who were so rich and powerful that they could not even resist at all, would fall so quickly.

The people of Port Ayla are grateful to the Frankish Count, nicknamed Dragon Slayer, Guardian of the Holy Land, Hand of the King, for his justice and benevolence.

But there are also people who are afraid of it.

In the manor of a local chief.

Someone is making an impassioned statement:

"Don't you know how this tyrant in Hebron treats those who are like us? Rahman was just the beginning, and he had no intention of letting us go. ”

"That's right, he's even more greedy than that greedy fool Zahn, who just wants our money, but he still wants our lives!"

"It's time to unite, brothers, and if we do this again, we will only be broken by each other!"

Someone shouted: "I have elected Müller as our leader, he is the richest, the most powerful, and the most prestigious of us, and if we succeed in driving out the tyrant, I will make Müller our lord!" ”

"Yes, I do."

The shadow followers are numerous.

Muller sat in the most advanced position, and couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous in his heart.

Who would have thought that a group of people who had gathered to prepare for a rebellion would elect him, an inner ghost, to be the leader of the rebel army?

Müller was silent, and then spoke: "Gentlemen, perhaps, I am not up to this position, for I have sworn allegiance to my lord Lothar. ”

There was an uproar among the people.

"You traitor!"

"Damn, he's sure he's already told us of our whereabouts."

Someone pulled out his weapon with a sonorous sound and tried to hold Mueller hostage, and Mueller's personal guards were not to be outdone, drawing their swords to meet the enemy.

The two sides are still in the phase of confrontation.

In the manor, heavy footsteps were heard.

The sound of pieces of iron clashing, like a requiem from hell, was rapidly approaching them.

As a result of successive victories and a large number of captures, the equipment of the peasants and soldiers has improved greatly compared with the beginning, and the scale armor and chain mail are all excellent.

Among them, the knights of the edict on foot, from time to time, gave orders, and this was a test that Lothar had prepared for the peasants.

Behind them, there were also veteran soldiers with heavy javelins and large square shields in their hands, making sure that no one would be able to escape.

Fighting, showing a one-sided situation.

The peasants formed a wall of shields, their footsteps in order, advancing to the whistles of the knights of the edict, compressing the enemy's space.

The opponent did not carry a bow or crossbow, let alone cavalry, and was eventually surrounded, with spears like a forest and stained with blood.

Mueller's expression was a little stunned: "My lord didn't plan to do this to you, as long as you are fair and law-abiding, it's a pity..."

The rebellion of the local chiefs plunged the port of Ayla into an atmosphere of terror.

Many Saracens, who were slightly wealthier, became extremely cautious and did not dare to go out easily.

Even some low-level infidels can't help but recall the massacres carried out by the Crusaders.

An invitation stamped with a wax seal was sent by the galloping hussars to the various vassals of Lothar.

Subsequently, it was a busy division of fields and production, and a large amount of money flowed out of the small treasury of Lothar for the construction of water conservancy.

Karez, a water conservancy project that was once written in textbooks, also began to be built extensively.

The workers were treated very well and were able to get a share of the land, and only a day later, the reputation of Lothar falling to the bottom had rebounded.

Lothar sat at her desk with her chin propped on one hand.

He did not attend the second trial, and Jeanne and Hans were not in Port Ella, but they led the Varangian Guard and most of the hussars to Araandler.

The changes here can't be hidden from the Saracen head on Alaindeler's side, so it is only a matter of time before a rebellion starts there.

"Pranya, I don't want to kill so many people, if they are honest and don't collude and prepare to rebel against me, I don't plan to attack them."

In Lothar's vision, he was indeed going to open up to the local people of Port Ella.

But they were already frightened birds, and there was a precedent for Hebron, and they just picked a typical example, and they were frightened into tearing up the flag and rebelling.

It's a pity that one of them has a traitor.

Otherwise, it is really possible to cause a lot of losses to Lothar.

You know, the local people of Al Lah Harbor have benefited from commerce and trade, and are much richer than those of Hebron.

"This may become the norm in the future, because my reputation has been beaten, and every pagan leader in my territory will feel fear."

"My enemies will be more united, such as the Impaler, if I attack him, the leaders under him will definitely have the money to contribute, and they will have the strength to contribute."

Prajna said in a low voice: "Any monarch, the throne under his body is made of white bones. ”

Lothar smiled and said, "Don't worry, Prajna, my heart is now as strong as iron, and I haven't been shaken by this, but when I see those children, I still have a little compassion. ”

"Well, that's good."

Prajna is concise and to the point.

Lothar knew that Prajna was saying that he still maintained his full humanity, and the Dragonborn bloodline did not cause further erosion to him.

At this time, the guards stepped forward to report.

"My lord, Baron Argonne is here."

Lothar was a little surprised: "So fast? ”

It's only been a day since the letter was delivered, right?

The guard who reported the news hesitated and asked, "Your Excellency, do you want to invite Baron Argonne in?" ”

"Of course."

"My lord, long time no see."

As soon as he entered, Baron Argonne saluted Lothar respectfully.

It hasn't been long since the two last met.

He reached out and picked up Baron Argonne, and the two exchanged pleasantries.

Baron Argonne confided in his intentions: "My lord, I wish I could have my son work under you, whether it be an attendant, a wine officer, or a food delivery officer. ”

Lothar immediately reacted that Baron Argonne was entrusting himself with a "proton".

"Baron Argon, you are my most trusted and relied on vassal, why do you need to do this?"

Baron Argonne knelt down on one knee and said solemnly: "My lord, I just hope to gain more trust from you, whether it is Renard or heretic, you can pull me when dealing with any enemy." ”

Lothar pondered for a moment and said:

"So be it, Baron Argonne, I confer on you the title of Honorary Knight, under my command, the Knights of Honour are my closest and most trusted knights."

Baron Argonne was slightly stunned: "My lord, as a knight of the imperial decree, what do you need me to do?" ”

A prompt sounds: Detects that you are trying to recruit a knighted Lesser Liege as an Imperial Knight, which will reduce the opponent's Loyalty Increase by two levels by default, from "Worship" to "Honor".

It is advisable to use a blank one-star template to bring it under your command, but loyalty will turn into intimacy.

Lothar was silent, what is the use of "respect"? Argon's attitude towards himself was respectful enough.

It seems that his plan to rely on the canonization of the knights of the edict and subjugate all the vassals is about to fail.

Lothar quickly shakes off his disappointment, and without the help of the system, he is not a waste.

What's more, he still has a statue of an angel in effect, and most of the large and small vassals in the territory have fought against Saladin under him.

Lothar silently chose to abandon the conversion of Argonne into a knight of the Edict, and the number of places was limited, so he had to save it.

He spoke, "Argon, the Knight of Honor means that you don't need to perform the duties of a Knight of the Edict in normal times, but this is not just a title, but also an honor and an obligation. ”

"Argonne, answer me, are you willing to respond to the call as soon as I need you, even if you have served forty days this year."

Vassals generally served their loyal lords for forty days a year, and could either pay the shield tax to circumvent it, or they could not go on their own and send only knights and soldiers instead of answering the call.

Argonne did not hesitate, knelt down on one knee and said, "My lord, I do!" ”

"Well, Argon, I promise you, you won't regret your decision today."

Lothar reached out and lifted Argonne from the ground.
