Chapter 207: Conflict Breaks Out
Faced with the fearless threat of the demons, the Noren family is in a dilemma.
Since this blood beauty dares to reveal her identity, she is deliberately finding fault this time, if those identities are real, everyone here is in danger of being liquidated by the demons.
Although this kind of unreasonable thing is not right to think about, but the demon race itself is a crazy and unpredictable race, and it is not so strange to use self-harm to mutilate others.
However, using an important fiancée to marry the trouble really opened the eyes of the people of the Noren family - even if he didn't have a gentleman's heart to pity the jade, he at least had to take care of the face of the blood clan, right?
"Breaking into a house and stealing is a felony, and even if the lord wants to convict, you are the first to be guilty." The old master wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and decided to communicate again before tearing his face, "If you respect the law and don't intend to cause trouble to your lord, we can consider this an unfortunate misunderstanding."
"Stealing? Okay, let me ask you, did I say I'm going to come in and steal?"
People looked at each other, not knowing how to answer, but everyone had a new understanding of the degree of unreasonableness with the demons.
If a thief wants to commit a crime, how can he take the initiative to tell the bitter master his true purpose?
"Don't you know how rich my fiancé is? Do you think I need to steal your gold? It's ridiculous."
Seeing that the old master Lancer pretended to be calm and pretended to be patient to listen to himself, Cecil was even more ashamed.
"I ask you, which of you saw that I had stolen with intent, or that I had stolen something?" Cecil asked without blushing, "Can the matter of the demon clan be called stealing?" This is a basic step in investigating the amount of tax, and if you don't provide information honestly, then don't blame our inspectors for being polite."
We have provided detailed information, although it is all suppressed and falsely reported, but you don't believe it!
"Even if you're not doing it for your own personal purposes, but you're destroying your private vault, will your lord allow you to do whatever you want?" Lancer grimaced, "Don't say any more meaningless things, we have no intention of making enemies against Lord Lord and you, but only if we maintain basic respect for our family."
Hearing the word respect, Cecil couldn't help but laugh wildly again.
"With respect, my fiancé has given enough. Touch the top of your bare head, remember how your uncle treated you? He said that every time you met, he would sit on the throne and put his foot on your bald head, and watch you pay your taxes respectfully, and after so many years, your hair has worn out......
"It's nonsense, there's no such thing!" Lancer exclaimed angrily, "This is a rumor, and an insult to our family!" qδ.net
Ranther was so excited that Lancer was almost touched by a demonic plant on alert, but Dalma pulled him back to prevent the old man from becoming the second victim to fall into the trap.
"Master, don't be provoked by her, and don't waste your time," Dalma advised, "The Bloods will not be honest until they have dried their blood."
Hearing these timely words, Lancer suppressed the anger in his heart, calmed down his head that was about to be blown up, and seriously thought about countermeasures.
It's really dangerous, and she was almost so angry with this woman that she forgot what was going on, but she actually knew about her ugly things, and it seemed that it must be the niece of the Earl of Red Wing who didn't run away......
"Since the demon clan has sent a tax officer, they will definitely be suspicious if they don't see anyone returning, and then they will have an excuse to ask for guilt." Dalma calmly analyzed, "Whether she came to make excuses or not, we must be on guard, especially if the army from Oak Village came too coincidentally......
"It's just a small army of four hundred, and you can't do anything in front of the castle." Lancer still has some confidence in his own territory, "But if the demons summon an army of skeletons to attack the city, we will be very passive, do they want to use force......
"Father, if you want to know the situation, let me torture her!" The naïve young master found something he was interested in again, "Leave it to me here, just in case, you should quickly mobilize private soldiers to guard the important castle and close the road
, so that the mercenaries who eat idle meals are also ready to fight."
If the second half of the sentence hadn't made sense, Lancer would probably have given his son a few more sticks because of the previous sentence.
"This pervert is right, you should hurry up and prepare."
Cecil, who was left to the side, suddenly interjected, and before people could see clearly, dozens of palm-sized blood bats rose into the air, flew over people's heads like a whirlwind, and rushed outside the gate.
"Damn, she's signaling the demons outside!" Lancer was shocked and quickly ordered his men to chase after him, "You and the magicians are going to find a way to stop those things!"
"No, I still have this kind of thing." Cecil looked at the panicked crowd, and his tone was full of schadenfreude, "My little bats will tell my fiancé what happened to me here, you better listen to that half-breed and quickly organize an army to defend it."
Is this Bloodline woman really crazy? He is still a hostage, and he actually wants the army to attack?
"The army is coming, and you won't do it any good." Lancer glared at her fiercely and said, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Huh? The army is coming, and it will do me a great benefit," Cecil's face showed no fear, but a sickly excitement, "My heart will be overjoyed at the thought of so much blood shed in and out of the city, hehehehe......
Looking at the woman who was dripping blood, but still laughing maniacally, Lancer snorted coldly and turned to walk out.
The son, who was still obsessively watching the beautiful woman covered in blood and embarrassed, was also dragged away by Dalma, don't look at this young master's strong body, but he can't resist the shorter Dalma at all.
"Stop, bastard! I'm going to look at the important prisoners!"
"Young master, you can't stay here, although that woman can't escape, she can kill at any time before she completely loses blood." Dalma explained as she walked, "You are the only heir to your master, you must not stay here now, you should go and gather the militia and encourage the soldiers to fight."
The more Lancer listened, the more he felt sad about his son's stupidity.
The contrast is too obvious, but at this time, he must have his family around to support him, and the thought of having to let him lead the troops to take risks at the moment of crisis makes the old master's heart hang again.
"Master, you must be ready for battle now, and don't have illusions." Dalma added, "Hold on first, and then be qualified to negotiate."
"Yes, you're right, whether it's south or north," Lancer sighed, "hold on, and there's hope!"
From the first bell rang in Nolenburg Square, all the towns and important places of the Nolen family territory rang with this bell, and in addition to the standing armed private soldiers, the able-bodied laborers of the farm time also heard the call, began to take out weapons or farm tools, and obeyed the demands of the village dignitaries, and prepared for battle.
The sound of the bell meant that thieves might invade the village, but the land of Nuoda had never been invaded by thieves, which made everyone worry and had to organize themselves to protect themselves.
Although his usual suffering is directly related to the greed of the master, the peasants, who have long been numb to oppression and accustomed to it, do not think about such complicated things.
Anyway, thieves are the easiest to hurt them, and if they don't raise their weapons, they can only be slaughtered.
Of course, the main soldiers had to be assembled in Norrenberg, and the remaining few small castles, each with nearly a hundred private soldiers, as for those peasants, they could only protect themselves according to the village, and the tax collector was now helpless.
In addition to the castle defense, the Nolen family also sent armed soldiers to guard the path of the advance, which may not be able to stop the army, but it can buy time.
In addition to people, it is necessary to use more powerful forces.
"Drain the water, go and release the water, fill the moat and the canals outside the city, and block the enemy." Lancer is like a great enemy this time, and he also made a bloody investment, "With the river, it is not easy for infantry and skeletons to come."
Because this release was both resolute and generous, it only took half a day for the water in the underground dark river to fill the moat and several long canals, which reminded people of the good times when the Sweet Water River was still flowing in the territory.
Although they only waited for half a day, the rulers of Norrenberg felt that a hundred years had passed.
In the bleak winter, Nolen's territory is in full battle, and the recruits led by Ninia also arrive outside the territory of the Nolen family, and encounter a group of private soldiers who are blocking the way.
"This is the land that the lord has entrusted to the lord to manage, and the army cannot enter without the lord's permission."
In the face of the resisting private soldiers, Ninia still saluted first and then soldiers, explaining her intentions.
"We received a call for help from the tax collector in the morning. According to the laws of the lord, all armed forces in the realm have an obligation to assist the tax collectors in case of unlawful treatment, so we rushed to the nearest place to help."
"Listen, the laws of the territory are higher than the rules of your tax-bearing land, so it is reasonable and legal for the army to enter, and whoever prevents it is resisting taxes and resisting the army, which is equivalent to gathering a crowd to rebel, and it can be destroyed on the spot."
Finally, Ninia added proudly.
"As you may have heard, I'm pretty good at counterinsurgency."
