Chapter 176: I'm Sorry, Uncle (3/4)
It's dawn.
What was supposed to be a night of slaughter of blood and fire was silently turned invisible by the temple of the golden god.
Aside from a few scorched buildings in the town square, the brief clash of last night left no more traces.
What happened in the second half of last night, Rosen didn't know much.
He had slept soundly, and was now crouching on the edge of the square, holding a large bowl of corn porridge, drinking it while observing the sacrament of the Golden Warriors.
The sacrament is presided over by the presiding priest of Senger.
His face was red and energetic, and his voice was many times louder than usual.
Nearly 600 golden warriors knelt in the open space at the entrance of the temple, bathed in golden light, their faces calm and joyful.
Rosen could see clearly, the golden light seemed to be immense, but it didn't have much power, it was only equivalent to a high-level group recovery technique, which could heal some small injuries and pains.
Samurai, who doesn't have some old injuries and dark wounds, now that this injury has been treated, he is naturally comfortable. And when the body is comfortable, the mood will naturally be calm and happy.
Outside the samurai order, there are also a large number of citizens of Whitehorse Town observing the sacrament.
It was only a hundred years ago that the Land of Gold extended to Whitehorse.
For the local residents of Whitehorse, the golden god is an alien god, and although they are afraid of the divine power and have to obey on the surface, their faith in the bottom of their hearts is not religious.
But now, seeing that the temple had subdued the powerful Ice-Blood Warrior Regiment by incredible means, many people had a visceral awe on their faces.
After this wave, Whitehorse will definitely increase a large number of devout believers.
'Purr~'
Rosen poured the polenta into his mouth with a large spoonful.
After swallowing a big mouthful, he took another big bite of bread, and chewed hard, and he was a melon eater.
No one could have imagined that such an ordinary teenager would be the central figure in turning the tide of the massacre last night.
Xia Lina walked over and stood beside Rosen, also holding a bowl of corn porridge in her hand, and said with a smile: "Master Rosen, I didn't see you everywhere, but I didn't expect you to watch the ceremony here." ”
Rosen chewed his bread and replied vaguely: "It's sunny outside, so it's good to eat." ”
It would be nice if no one was around to pee.
"I'm going to attack White Rock Fort later, what do you think?"
"No idea. If needed, I'll help the samurai break down the door, and you'll take care of the rest. ”
"The castle gate is very thick, made of pure steel, and there are a lot of spell-breaking Serguin, which can't be broken by ordinary spells."
"I've seen it a long time ago, the main body of the door is hard steel and Serguin, yes, but the hinges behind the door are ordinary metal, and the position is not hidden, if I break the hinges, the door will naturally fall."
His spells can bend, as long as you look at the right position, even if there is a wall to block the view, it is useless.
After a pause, he smiled again: "Actually, you don't necessarily need a spell to break the door. ”
Xia Lina was completely relieved, and asked again: "What do you think should be done with the Morey family?" ”
After a pause, he said, "I ask you for advice, if you have any ideas, just say it." ”
Lawson swallowed the bread in his mouth.
"The baron must die, but his family does not have to deprive them of their nobility, but only to drive them out of White Rock Castle and allow them to live in Whitehorse Town, and retain some military power and property."
"To demonstrate the mercy and forgiveness of the Golden God."
"At the same time, let the Knight of Canretto take over White Rock Castle and become the new lord of Whitehorse Town."
"Canretto can't sit still as the new lord, right?"
"Of course he can't sit still, so he must rely on the support of the temple."
"And Baron Morey's sons and nephews are also there, and the invisibility is also a deterrent to Canretto. If he doesn't do a good job, let the people of the Morey family continue to be lords. ”
Xia Lina understood: "Let the Morey family and the Canretto family compete with each other, and the temple will be a counterbalance?" ”
"Yes." Lawson nodded.
"Actually, there is a high probability that Canretto will not betray the temple, but I am afraid that he will suddenly gain power and be carried away, or be unruly, or follow the back path of the baron."
"Keeping a potential threat alive is good for him to clear his mind."
Xia Lina listened and couldn't help laughing: "Lawson, in fact, you are the best leader." ”
Rosen was startled and almost dropped the bowl in his hand.
"Although I was born in the territory of White Horse Town, my parents are both mountain bandits, and my background is so humble that I am not qualified to be a lord."
Xia Lina smiled lightly: "Humble background is not humble, what mortals say doesn't count, God says it counts." ”
"If God wants to say that you are his illegitimate son, is it not enough to be a baron?"
Rosen was even more shocked, and hurriedly said, "Xia Lina, don't hurt me." Being a lord is a troublesome task, and there are too many trivial things to do. I don't have that hobby. ”
The border of a golden land like White Horse Town is a poor and remote country, and you have to face the threat from the Falling Snow Mountains all the time.
Moreover, he has no foundation here, and if he really wants to agree, he will basically only have a power struggle left in the second half of his life.
It's like swimming in a tank, you can't drown people but you can disgust people.
Of course, it would be interesting to go to the Yellow Water Heights, or to become a baron in a more prosperous place.
"Hahaha~ look at what scares you."
Xia Lina covered her mouth and chuckled: "It is indeed a great waste to put a genius mage like you as a lord in such a small place. Then do as you say, and let Canretto be the new lord of Whitehorse. ”
After that, she also ate breakfast seriously.
At 10 a.m., the sacramental golden samurai group set out for the White Rock Castle again.
Under the protection of the temple's chief guard, Karlan, the priest of Senge stepped out of the crowd.
Rosen immediately constanced in him the voice of a group of hearts.
After the spell took shape, the priest of Senge began to announce the god's verdict on the White Rock Castle.
"God said, 'Thou shalt not tempt God, thou shalt not provoke Him, nor transgress the taboo which God has set for thy death, or thou shalt be punished by God."
"Larsen. Morey, you have corrupted personal morals and bad deeds! Ungodly, faithless! Don't spare your people, you don't deserve to be the lord of Whitehorse! ”
"You have betrayed the trust of the Golden God, you do not deserve the blessing of the gods, and from now on, the Morey family will no longer be the god-given lords of Whitehorse Town!"
Under the influence of the spell, his voice spread throughout most of Whitehorse Town.
And with the verdict pronounced, the pillar of golden light that had been shining on the God-given stone gradually dimmed and dimmed, and finally disappeared.
The guards on the city walls looked at each other, and many of them had a look of panic in their eyes.
The God-given pillar of light lasted for hundreds of years, and everyone saw it from a young age, and once it disappeared, there was a feeling that a great disaster was coming.
The psychological pressure caused by this trick is very high.
In the heart of the Golden Land, this is called God's Extermination.
As soon as the excommunication came out, the lord had to kneel directly
Of course, this trick is not used lightly, and it has been very rare in the last hundred years.
However, in a border place like Whitehorse, which has not been naturalized for a long time, there is still a chance to struggle.
Baron Morey's face was blank, but he still held his breath.
He roared, "Warriors, these are slanders! I, the Morey family, are the most orthodox and noble masters of this land, and foreign gods are not qualified to deprive me of my authority! ”
If it had been in the past, his warriors would have responded to him.
But last night, the words of the knight of Canretto are vivid, and Canretto has a very high reputation in the army, only inferior to the baron.
Last night, in the face of Canretto's questioning, the baron did not dare to answer him directly, which showed that the baron had really done something stupid.
Below the city, Canretto's roar rang out.
"Larsen. Morey~~ If you are still a man, if you still dare to act, stand up and accept God's punishment! ”
Larson. Morey laughed.
"Canretto, you slander me! Your daughter is dead, what's my business! ”
Suddenly, a woman's voice rang out.
"What about your own daughter?"
It was Lady Pesse, who had stepped out from the crowd of onlookers, her face frosty, and her eyes filled with deep hatred.
"Larsen. Morey, look, who is this?! ”
A middle-aged man was escorted out of the crowd by two purified golden spider girls.
"This is the human trafficker Rajad, who specializes in collecting beautiful children from all over the golden land for the baron to ravage, so that he can vent his perverted and twisted desires!"
"Rajad, under the witness of the Golden God, I ask you, how many innocent children have you collected for the Baron over the years?"
Rajad's face was ashen, and he said tremblingly: "There are about 120 of them." ”
"So, where did those innocent kids end up?"
"Chop it up when you die, cook it and feed it. Feed the pigs. ”
'Wow~~~'
This horrific crime left the nearby townsfolk dumbfounded, unable to believe that their lord was such a human demon.
But there are still people who don't believe it.
"That woman is Percy of the Nightingale, and her words may not be true."
"Yes, yes~ The Morey family has always been the lord of Whitehorse Town, and my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather was at that time, how could he do such a stupid thing?"
There was a lot of talk, Larsen. Morey seems to see hope for a comeback.
He shouted: "These are all conspiracies of foreign gods~ They are vainly trying to expel the noble Morey family and completely occupy Whitehorse Town!" ”
"Baron~ Don't quibble!"
Another voice rang out, but it was Anglo, the warrior.
He walked up to the crowd and shouted, "I'm Anglo, the former cavalry captain of the White Horse Legion. ”
"On the night of more than half a month ago, the necromancer Damsis attacked the town of Whitehorse at night, killing more than 200 innocent people. And you, however, have commanded me to hand over the bodies of innocent men to Damsis! ”
"The ashes buried in the cemetery are not innocent at all, but those of the curly-horned sheep!"
'Wow~~'
As soon as these words came out, the townspeople were completely stunned.
If the baron's destruction of young children in other places is just a quirk, and has no real interest in them, he does not feel deeply.
Now colluding with the necromancer and handing over the bodies of innocent people to the necromancer, he is completely on the opposite side of the townspeople of Whitehorse Town.
There was no one to defend the baron anymore.
And such news spread quickly throughout the town, and after a while, the whole town was boiling.
And all the noise finally converged into one sentence.
"Kill the demons! Kill Larsen. Morey! ”
Canretto shouted, "Behold, warriors, look what kind of devil you are loyal to!" ”
"Is such a devil worth your life for?"
At this moment, the castle guard looked at the baron in the wrong way, and many warriors unconsciously moved away from him.
"Lie!"
Baron Morey's face turned pale, and he lay on the edge of the city wall and roared at Whitehorse.
"They have no evidence, they are all slandering, slandering me!"
I have to say that his psychological quality is really excellent, and ordinary people can't bear this kind of thing at all, and he has long been paralyzed.
Suddenly, a voice appeared on the city walls.
"Master, I told you a long time ago, you can't do this~ You can't do this~ But you haven't listened to the old slave!"
It was Jord, the old butler of the castle, who had been the steward of the Morey family for generations, and had been a loyal servant for generations.
Such a loyal servant may not have a high status, but he is extremely popular in the family, and his status in the lord's heart is also very important.
The old butler had flowery hair, a knife-like wrinkle on his face, and a deep regret in his cloudy eyes.
"The lord caused such a disaster, it was the old slave's poor persuasion, and the old slave was ashamed of his trust to the old lord!"
He walked a few steps quickly to the city wall, and jumped straight down.
After falling from a height of more than 30 meters, he fell to his death on the spot!
Everyone exclaimed.
Seeing the old servant commit suicide, Larsen's heart was also shocked, and his body couldn't control it and began to tremble.
Now, his crime is completely confirmed!
Canretto drew his sword and raised it to the sky, letting out a thunderous roar: "By the glory of the Golden God, justice will be served!" Open the door, warriors! ”
"Who dares to open"
Larson. Morey subconsciously yelled, but after a few words, his voice stopped abruptly because an officer punched him in the back of the head.
The corner of the baron's eyes rolled, and he reluctantly turned to look, and saw his most trusted knight Arad standing behind him, who was also his own nephew.
"You, you."
After saying two words, he fainted.
Arad sighed lightly: "I'm sorry, uncle, everyone has wives and children, and I can't die with you." ”
It's not uncommon for any nobleman to do something about lack of morality, but my uncle has gone too far.
After saying that, he waved his hand and gave an order.
"Open the door!"
