"My lord! My lord!"
Just when the group of men were all frightened, the women under them rushed forward and hugged Catherine's legs.
"I beg you, save us!" As they spoke, the group of women cried out loudly, as if they wanted to vent all the grievances and fears of these days.
Catherine looked at the man in front of him who had no fighting intentions and the woman who kept crying, so she had to put down the long sword in her hand and asked why.
"Stop, stop, stop."
Catherine spoke, letting the women beside her quiet down the constant crying.
"Can anyone tell me what happened here?"
"My lord, I! I! I!" A younger woman said.
Catherine pointed her finger at the other party and counted: "Okay, tell me."
Only the woman began to slowly state what had happened in this territory in the past month.
"My lord, the little girl's name is Mendina, and she is a servant of this Fort Cary."
"Before January, our territory was still living a peaceful life as before, but with the disappearance of the owner of the territory, Baron Obote, everything became different."
"At first it was the baroness. Ms. Lilith publicly announced the news of the baron's death. She tried to control the entire territory as her wife."
""In her words, the kingdom is shattered, the baron is dead, and she will lead everyone to survive. "
"These disrespectful words to the former baron naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the loyal sergeant, even as a baroness."
"The Master Chief immediately led his men to take down the baroness who spoke rudely, but they collided with the knight commander who was guarding the lady."
"It is said that the madam colluded with the knight commander earlier, and after confirming the news of the baron's death, she immediately launched a seizure of power with her."
"It's a pity that the baron doesn't have any heirs, otherwise, how could it be the baroness' turn to seize power..."
"The troops in the territory are divided into two, one side is led by the soldier commander, and the other side is controlled by the knight commander."
"They fought fiercely inside the castle. They fought in darkness and blood flowed like rivers. Since the strength of both sides was almost the same as that of Transcendents, they didn't come to a conclusion until the end."
"The knight commander wants to reconcile with the other party, but unfortunately the baroness has already offended the soldier commander to death. If the other party is not resolved, the soldier commander will not give up."
"With the death of the knight commander and the soldier commander together, it is also announced that the two groups have completely disintegrated."
"The group of soldiers who lost their leader became disorganized. There were not many people left. They joined together to occupy the castle, forcibly harvested the food of the villagers outside the city, and then imprisoned all the women in the city. As their flesh to release their desires."
"Even the baroness was no exception. She was caught by the soldiers and became a tool for them to vent their anger. She couldn't bear to be bullied and committed suicide a few days later."
"As for the rest of the men in the city, they were executed in the courtyard one by one."
After listening to the other party's description, Catherine finally understood the reason for the corpses in the atrium.
It's just that she was a little puzzled, did the old baron really die as the other party said
"So, your lord has really passed away?" she asked.
The other party shook his head and said, "I don't know too well, but the baron hasn't heard from you since he went to attend the banquet in the capital."
"I see." Catherine, who received the other party's reply, already had an answer in her heart.
The banquet in the royal capital can be said to be a premeditated plan by the dark elves. They wanted to wipe out most of the nobles.
Therefore, apart from Kane and others with the help of Adeline, there should be no other nobles who can survive from it.
Moreover, guessing from the fact that this place has been in a state of no jurisdiction for so long, it basically confirmed Catherine's conjecture that the baron might have collapsed in that banquet.
Catherine turned around, and ordered the soldiers beside her to fetch some unused clothes, and put them on for the dozen or so naked women in front of her.
"Here, put them all on."
After hearing this, several women took the clothes in their hands and looked at Catherine gratefully.
What they didn't notice was that while Catherine was talking to a few more people, the dozen or so scared soldiers had already woken up from it.
They secretly picked up the weapons that had been discarded for many days, and then leaned over behind the group of women, trying to force Catherine's troops back by holding these women hostage.
"call out!!"
A fast sword quickly struck from Catherine's hand, crossed the hair ends of several women, and stabbed the throat of the soldier who wanted to hijack behind him.
"ah"
A trace of blood was left on the soldier's wound, the rupture of the trachea and the gushing of blood made him unable to even utter the last words, leaving only an unknown sound, and he passed away in convulsions.
"Ah ah!!!"
It wasn't until after the opponent fell that the women noticed the scene behind them, and ran towards Catherine in fright.
This action not only attracted a few women, but even the dozen or so soldiers behind them who were going to hold them hostage were also frightened and did not dare to move.
"You don't know what's wrong?" Catherine stared at the dozen or so people in front of her indifferently.
The soldiers who were still in shock heard the words and hurriedly dropped their weapons, knelt on the ground and begged: "My lord, please spare our lives, we are forced to do nothing!!"
"Hmph!!" Catherine said with disdain, only fools would believe their words.
"Go and find a rope to tie this group of people up." She ordered to the soldiers beside her.
"Yes, sir."
Soon, several soldiers worked together to tie up the naked male soldiers together, as if they knew the fate they were about to face, the faces of the male soldiers were full of despair.
After ordering the soldiers to transfer the group of male soldiers, Catherine asked the woman from before.
"By the way, you just said that the two extraordinary people died together. Why didn't I see their bodies?"
The woman thought for a moment, then said, "They fought the final duel in front of the baron's bedroom on the third floor."
"For the baroness?" Catherine asked.
"Yes." The woman replied.
Marcus on the side sighed deeply, and exclaimed: "I didn't expect that a barony would end up like this because of internal fighting."
Catherine said: "That's why it is said that human ambition is beyond budget."
Turning around, she led a group of soldiers behind her to the third floor of the castle to confirm the situation.
Everyone arrived in front of the lord's bedroom on the third floor. There were corpses strewn all over the way, all soldiers killed and wounded by the confrontation between the two armies. In front of the bedroom door, there were two Transcendents with wide-eyed eyes and long swords stuck in their chests. This is the cavalry captain and soldier captain that the woman said.
