Chapter 023 (Lord's Promise)

Wickdis Cathedral was located on the east side of the rocky harbour, relatively close to the harbour docks, and Sir Brant and Sir Morin were passing through this road at this moment.

Ragged people were frantically scrambling for food, and Brant stared in amazement at the chaotic scene in front of him. And all he could hear, apart from the swearing of women and the fighting of men, was only the cries of children.

The knights, dressed in armor, took a few steps forward, guarding their lord behind them, and pressed their swords to the scabbard at their waists, and the knights kept their swords drawn at all times. Anyone who poses a threat to them, falls under a sharp sword.

Sir Maureen ran over in a rage, and he shouted at the crowd, "Stop, stop me." But his roaring voice had no effect on the chaotic and noisy crowd.

"Sir Morin," shouted Brandt behind him, "we will first go to the church door." "He needs to understand the reason for this chaotic scene.

"Yes, sir. Sir Maureen turned in response.

At Sir Merlin's orders, the tall and strong knights dispersed the figures that stood in front of them, and the knights forced a way through the crowd and chaos to the opposite church, while Brant and Sir Maureen followed behind the knights.

Brandt climbed the stairs outside the church, walked up to the old man in the red robe, and asked, "What is going on here, Lord Bishop, and why is this happening?"

Bishop Bowen Chris began with a sincere and humble praise, "The merciful Father, who could not bear the starvation of his followers, asked me and other servants to bring food to help these suffering believers. Then he continued in a mournful voice, "I didn't expect that a piece of bread would cause people to rush it." ”

"Sir Maureen," asked Brandt, turning his head, "is there any way to control the chaos?"

"Lord Tyrrell," Bishop Chris added, "I have sent the nuns to inform the sheriff, and I am sure that soldiers will soon arrive to stop the commotion. ”

The rough Sir Morin tore the horn from the trumpeter's waist, strode to the center of the church square, and then put the huge horn to his mouth and blew it vigorously, "Woo woo oo

The commotion and the looting had stopped, and the people turned their heads and looked at the knights in front of the church in fear. Except for the cries of frightened children, the whole square became silent.

Brant waited for the sound to dissipate before stepping forward and stepping into everyone's sight. "The terrible plague has taken away our relatives and friends, and it has taken away our food and homes," he said, "and I know you are all starving and suffering, but this behavior of yours now will only make your situation worse." ”

In the Rocky Harbor, as an earl, he has the power to deal with anyone who violates the laws of the Commonwealth of Cania. Brandt did not simply intend to deter the chaotic people, but wanted to completely stop this behavior from happening again.

"My lord," said a wizened old man, "forgive me, and don't punish us. "The old man, who has lived half his life, knows very well the crimes that will be punished for causing a disturbance in the castle of a lord.

"My lord, we don't mean to cause trouble," another man with corned beef explained in a trembling voice, "but we're so hungry that we want to stutter." ”

"My bread, my bread is gone. The topless woman knelt on the ground with her blouse, which contained flour for gray hair, and cried.

"My lord, the little food that was given to us was not enough at all, and we didn't have enough to eat every day. ”

"Please let them give us more food. ”

............

After Brant waited for all the voices to calm down, he proclaimed, "There is not much food stored in the city, and I will do my best to make sure you get food every day." "He has to tell the truth and let people know the truth. Perhaps this will reduce the amount of complaints and commotion.

"As long as it lasts for two months, there will be a steady stream of food-loaded cargo ships coming from the sea into the Rock Harbor wharf. He assured the people in the square, "When that time comes, you will not go hungry or be cold." ”

"My lord," said the old man, tremblingly, "is what you said true?"

"I swear to the honor of the Tyrells," Brandt declared, "and every word I say is not a lie." "People need to get the promise of the lord, and all he can do is give people the promise of hope.

At West Street, Sheriff Galen Arryn hurried in with a squad of armored soldiers. Under his command, the spear-armed soldiers quickly dispersed, encircling the entire crowd in the square. The panicked men clutched the food in their hands and squeezed into the center of the square, fearing that the soldiers would take it from them.

The sheriff stepped forward to plead guilty, "Waiting for Lord Tyrell to punish him, his subordinates have been derelict in their duties." ”

Instead of blaming him, Brant commanded, "Lord Garren, evacuate the soldiers from here and let them disperse safely." ”

"Yes, sir. Galen turned and walked away.

Under the orders of Lord Garen, the sheriff, hundreds of spearmen regrouped and left the area. The victims around the church square also slowly dispersed towards the intersections, most of them holding food in their hands. And those who did not get food refused to disperse. They looked at the young, kind lord standing outside the church door, with a begging look.

Faced with this situation, Brant could only speak, "Lord Bishop, can you tell the nuns to prepare some more food?"

"Do what you want. Bishop Chris replied in a modest tone.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your generosity and kindness. Brandt reverently said, "Thank Heavenly Father!"

"Thank you, Heavenly Father!" the red-robed old man echoed in a low voice. Then he turned and left, instructing the nuns to prepare food.

At the mouth of the alley of South Street, I saw a fast horse galloping out.

The young soldier drove his horse outside the church square, where he grabbed the reins and turned over and dismounted. The soldier hurried up to Sir Maureen, panting, and said, "My lord, there's a great monster... The monster flew towards the southern gate. ”

"What kind of monster?" asked Sir Merlin urgently, "what does it look like, and how big is it?"

The soldier described the monster to the city commander in front of him, "The monster looked the size of a house, it was pitch black, and it had a pair of huge bat wings. ”

"I'm also... I also saw people up there. He added.

"On my orders," commanded Sir Maureen, "order the garrison to seal the gates, and let all the archers climb the walls and be ready to standby." ”

"Yes, sir. The soldier bowed, then galloped away and returned to the south gate.
