Without waiting for three days, Judd already knew what it was like to be hated and despised.
The two rows of guards around are all of civilian origin. They can appear here, they are the elite of the army, and they may become officers in the future, and they will leave the civilian class and become a small nobleman.
But now, because of Judd's relationship, the city lord will no longer promote officers from civilians, which cuts off their way to the top.
Cutting off people's money and ruining their future is like killing their parents. This hatred is... big.
"Take him down and lock him up." Nadette waved his hand impatiently, he really didn't want to see this traitor again.
The two guards walked over, because with anger, the way they detained Judd was very brutal. Although the latter had a painful expression on his face, he did not resist. Because I can't resist.
"Assh..." Nadette said suddenly, "Although you were not brought out by me, you seem to be from a commoner background, right?"
Ashish's heart trembled. He knew that Nadette was angry at this time, and he was afraid that he would vent his anger on himself and then lose his official position.
Thinking of this, he hated the bastard Judd even more.
In Echo City, at least half of the military officers with positions are of civilian origin, and the same level is almost half of the interior affairs hall. If the city lord removes all civilian officials because of this, then Echo City will be completely dominated by the nobles in the future.
The reason why Echo City can be so prosperous and harmonious is that there are many civilian officials. Because of their backgrounds, they will spontaneously group together to fight against the nobles, making the political power of Echo City at a delicate balance point, and the nobles dare not treat the civilians of Echo City as dogs, otherwise a lot of civilian officials will cause trouble .
If there are no civilian officials in the future, then the days of the residents of Echo City will definitely become darker.
"Yes, I was born as a commoner." Ashish smiled with difficulty.
Nadette seemed to be traveling in the sky, looking up at the roof, and said to himself: "Tell me, do I sometimes treat people too well?"
Ashshi didn't know what the city lord meant, so he could only follow the words: "City lord, you have always been kind."
"That's not what I mean." Nadette thought for a while, and said, "The two daughters of the Lexington family are beaten and scolded every day, and only occasionally praised. But under this kind of education, the two daughters are very sensible. Helping the family with work, contributing, very well-behaved."
"I never beat or scolded Lacus, but she lied to me instead. Judd is the same, I almost raise him as half my son, the real power in the army, besides me, he is the biggest, and he is also there Lie to me, want to betray me."
"Is it true that the better you treat a person, the more they will take it for granted? They may even think you are disrespectful and want to take away your wealth and status?"
There is no systematic psychology and character growth research in this world. But based on his own experience and experience, Nadette also felt some straightforward psychological problems at this time.
Ashe naturally dared not answer. Although he was not personally trained by Nadette like Judd, he felt that the city lord could make him a commoner into an officer with real power, which was a great gift in itself, and he was very grateful to the city lord.
"Only those who don't know how to be grateful will betray you, the city lord." Asshi knelt down and said, "Jade is just an individual among the common people."
"It is indeed an individual, he is the only civilian I personally teach."
Nadette looked at Ash, who was showing reverence, thoughtfully.
The news of Judd's being locked up quickly spread throughout the city, and it didn't take long for three groups of nobles to come over, scrambling to vent Nadette's hideout of the heretic arbiter and paladin.
After sending these people away with good words, Nadette first broke out in cold sweat on his back, and then sneered again and again.
If he hadn't noticed it and received a reminder from Cook and Heidi, then he might really fall for this incident. If Judd was allowed to lead an army to encircle and suppress the heretic arbitrators and paladins according to the original plan, then he would definitely encounter rebellion.
The most important thing is those three immortals... If it weren't for their instigation, Judd wouldn't have had a bad idea.
After the incident, we will deal with those three people.
Nadette, who suppressed the hatred in his heart, began to mobilize the army to the northern suburbs.
He hoped that Cook and Heidi could secretly rescue Lacus, but he also knew that there was little hope. Paladins... are not vegetarians.
On the appointed morning, the weather was fine. When Tina and Ronald came out of the sewer, they found themselves surrounded by an army of at least 2,000 people.
But there was no surprise on their faces. Looking at these troops, they seemed to see a background board.
In fact, they already knew that they were surrounded. More than 2,000 troops were mobilized, and they were underground, so how could they not hear the rumbling sound coming down.
Beta and Heidi had already hid far away, hiding in the woods more than 200 meters behind the army.
As a long-range profession, archers have good eyesight. Heidi stood on a high branch, looked at the situation ahead through the gaps between the branches and leaves in the canopy, and kept reporting to Beta: "They came out, and I saw Lacus too, her appearance... her face is swollen. Big, haha."
In fact, there is no need for her to report at all, Beta has already connected to Joan's vision at this time, and can clearly see the situation ahead from a high altitude.
At this moment, he was even a little dazed: that paladin looked familiar, Joan flew down... Isn't this Tina
What made Beta even more speechless was that Tina's strength was already lv13 at this time.
It seems that the bright spring water has a much greater effect on the paladin than he imagined.
A level 13 paladin, plus five heretic arbitrators, is a little bit hanging.
Beta sighed inwardly. It is impossible for Tina's six heretic arbitrators to kill an army of 2,000 people, after all, there are physical limitations. But if they want to break through, it is not too difficult.
Moreover, if you are more daring, start the beheading tactic, attack Nadette directly, and go straight to the central army, it is also a very good choice, because once the leader dies, the morale of the army will collapse and they will flee in all directions.
"Heidi, you rush to the city lord immediately and tell him to be more careful. If possible, give up Lacus."
"Why?" Heidi was a little puzzled. Although she didn't like Lacus very much, if she told this to Nadette, the latter would definitely be angry.
"I have seen that paladin before, she is very strong."
"You and I can't suppress her together?" Heidi was a little disbelieving.
"Above master, close to legend." Beta sneered: "Our two professionals who have not reached the master level, to suppress a paladin who is known as the strongest professional, the darling of the goddess of light, and is close to the legendary level? Do you want Too much?"
Heidi turned pale, turned over immediately, and ran towards the army formation.
At this time, Nadette was riding on the horse, looking coldly at the six people less than a hundred meters ahead, and then at Lacus who was carried on their shoulders, with raging anger hidden in his eyes: "Now, you can take my daughter Come back now."
Tina used a cleansing technique on herself to get rid of the non-existent sewer smell on her body, and then said lightly, "How do you think about the atonement roll?"
"I said, bring Lux back, or you will die."
Tina looked at the other party in surprise, and then looked at the soldiers around her. She knew the reason why the other party suddenly had confidence. Then, she smiled slightly, with a smile blooming like a flower, but also with a touch of sarcasm.
Ronald laughed a few times, threw Lux to the ground, and stepped heavily on her left fingers.
The severe pain made Lacus wake up from the coma. She opened her eyes and wailed twice, and then after seeing the situation around her clearly, she shouted excitedly: "Father, get me out quickly, kill them, save me out!" , I want these people to die, I want them all to die... ahh!"
There was another scream, Ronald put more force on his feet, Tina was just an ordinary person, her fingers were immediately trampled, and the bones of the forest were exposed.
Hearing his daughter's constant screams, Nadette's anger almost made him lose his mind, and he shouted viciously: "Are you abusing a girl like this, facing your own identity? Saintess, that's it child act?"
"Compared to what your daughter has done, this is too kind." Ronald was unmoved, and he continued: "It is very simple for me to let her go. You cut off your right arm and let go of the city lord. I can guarantee the safety of you father and daughter."
"I use my identity as a paladin to witness this contract. This is your atonement."
Nadette gritted his teeth and said, "The price of the Atonement Scroll is too expensive, it's impossible."
"Lax, look, your father doesn't seem to want to save you." Ronald stomped hard, he was wearing iron boots, and all the finger bones of Lax's left hand were crushed.
Lux was in pain like a fish landed on the shore, and her body kept rolling and swinging on the ground, but she couldn't faint because Ronald gave Lux a lucid spell in a wicked way.
Seeing her daughter in such pain, Nadette wanted to order the army to attack, but she was afraid that the other party would kill her daughter, so she had to endure it.
More than 2,000 people watched Lux roll over and over on the ground... only a few people couldn't help it, and most of them had a happy expression.
The city lord's daughter is a demon... Except for a few people in Echo City, most people know about it in private.
including civilians.
Finally, Lax’s pain eased a little. She looked at her bloody, soft left hand, howled a few times, then looked at Nadette, and shouted heartbreakingly: “Father, promise him, I'm in so much pain... You broke your hand, as long as you use magic... it can be cured, it's okay, promise him, I don't want to suffer anymore... I am your daughter, promise him."
There was already a hint of hatred in the eyes of Lacus looking at Nadette.
Why don't you save me, why don't you promise him, it's just one hand... It can grow back with magic, aren't you my father? Shouldn't you pet me and love me all the time
You liar... you scum, I've been abused like this, and you still don't give up everything to save me, what are you thinking
ah
Nadette also saw the hatred in his daughter's eyes. At first, he thought that the hatred was aimed at the Arbiter of Heresy, but then he found that his daughter's eyes were staring at him, and she was hating... himself!
Why? Nadette felt his heart go cold, and then Judd's appearance appeared in front of his eyes, overlapping with his daughter.
It's ridiculous!
The two people I value the most actually hate me. Nadette smiled sarcastically, he was already planning to attack.
As for the daughter... If she loses the position of city lord and loses her arm, she won't live long, let alone her, many nobles secretly wish that their father and daughter would die.
But before that... He suddenly said to Tina: "Dear lady, I can make concessions, or I can step down as the master, but I can't do it by cutting off my own arm. In addition, I have something to ask Ask ma'am."
Tina slightly raised her willow eyebrows: "Please tell me."
"You said you didn't participate in the struggle between the Pope's faction and the Saintess' faction, right?"
"Yes." Tina nodded.
"Then I ask you one thing." Nadette pointed to the heretic arbitrator: "Is it okay for me to accept your trial after I settle my grievances with them? Otherwise, in my opinion, you are clearly helping Saintess line."
Tina thought for two seconds and said, "Okay."
Then take two steps back.
Ronald frowned: "Ma'am, he is driving us apart, please don't be fooled."
"I'm neutral myself. This time I came back to Sound City just to find out about the death of a female church member." Tina said calmly, "I don't participate in the affairs of the Pope's faction and the Saintess faction."
Hearing these words, the calmness on Ronald's face disappeared, replaced by a constipated expression.
If he was a player, he would definitely scold the pig teammates, but the problem is, Tina never regards them as teammates.
Seeing this scene, Nadette was overjoyed.
In fact, he really didn't dare to do anything to the paladins. The arbitrators of heresy divided the factions. If you kill them, you will be killed. At most, you can pay some price to settle it. It's up.
Lux was still yelling over there, calling for her father to save her. Nadette tried not to hear.
When he was about to order the whole army to attack, Heidi suddenly crowded beside him.
Because Heidi often goes in and out of the city lord's mansion and the barracks, everyone knows her with a smile, so she can squeeze into the army.
If Beta dared to squeeze in like this, he would have been attacked long ago.
Heidi said a few words in Nadette's ear, and then Nadette's face changed, and he looked at Tina standing in the distance with a horrified look,
He was thankful that he had 'extracted' Tina from the team of heretic arbitrators just now.
