Under the raging cold wind, there were very few pedestrians on the streets of Pine Forest Town.
The high food prices have caused the constant loss of residents in this northern town, which has also made the town, which was not considered prosperous, even more desolate.
It is said that the irascible lord has brought more than a thousand soldiers to Ice Rock City, vowing to capture those who escaped.
However, before the citizens caught him back, a piece of earth-shattering news came back——
The lord of Pine Forest Town, Baron Lomba died in Ice Rock City!
I don't know where the news came from, but it spread to the whole town at an extremely fast speed. In just one day, almost everyone in Songlin Town knew the news.
But the strange thing is that the members of the Lomba family did not come forward to confirm the authenticity of the news.
Of course, they didn't deny it either.
All of a sudden, in the streets and alleys of Pine Forest Town, in the taverns and hotels, everyone was discussing this amazing news.
More and more information was gradually revealed.
It is said that the person who assassinated Baron Lomba was a knight from the East.
And the original target of this eastern knight was actually Viscount Angelet, the lord of the northern border who personally destroyed the Pegasus Legion. people...
Poor Baron Lomba became Viscount Angelet's "scapegoat" just like that.
However, with the help of Viscount Angelet, the assassin was still caught. At this time, he was sentenced to be hanged, and his body hung in the square of Ice Rock City for a day and a night.
These interesting details added to the authenticity of the news. Most of the residents of Pine Forest Town believed that their lord had really suffered misfortune in Ice Rock City.
…
As the night darkened, the castle of the Lomba family was still brightly lit.
A group of family members gathered in the hall, arguing fiercely.
The eldest son of Baron Lombar—White Lombar was looking at the quarreling family members with a gloomy face at this time, his heart was full of anxiety and boredom.
White was caught off guard by his father's death, and he also smelled a strong conspiracy.
How could it be such a coincidence that the Eastern Realm Assassin launched an attack when his father was visiting Viscount Angelet, and even killed the wrong person by such a coincidence
But the family knight who came back to Pinewood Town to report the news confirmed the identity of the assassin. He was indeed a knight from the Eastern Realm, and he was also a well-known fourth-order knight.
This assassin had participated in the Battle of Silvermoon City, and his whereabouts were unknown after the war. He did have a blood feud with Viscount Angelet, and the motive for the assassination was very sufficient.
But White still felt that Viscount Angelet had something to do with his father's death!
After all, when my father went to Ice Rock City, he actually wanted to find trouble with the other party...
Just when White was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard someone calling his name.
He raised his head, and saw the housekeeper looking at him with concern: "Master, are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
"Master, then you must make a decision quickly?"
"What decision?"
Everyone looked at the bewildered White, and they were speechless for a while. They had been arguing here for a long time, but the young master didn't listen at all...
In the end, the housekeeper asked for instructions: "Master White, people in Pinewood Town are panicking recently because of the death of the master, and the elite of the family army are still in Ice Rock City, so we have discovered that many people with evil intentions are secretly instigating food shortages. Civilians, prepare to rob the town's granaries!
So, what do we do next, you decide! "
White's brows tightened in an instant. Unexpectedly, the rain leaked overnight. At such a moment, there was a sign of rebellion in Pinewood Town.
The previous slave rebellion had exhausted the Lomba family. If there was another civilian riot, and it was at such a sensitive moment, White doubted whether his family could survive it.
"Notify the whole town that a curfew will be imposed from tonight..."
As soon as White started, he suddenly found that the outside of the castle suddenly boiled. The soaring flames illuminated the dark night sky, and the sound of killing broke the tranquility of the night.
When everyone in the Lomba family saw this situation, they panicked immediately, and quickly turned their attention to White for help.
White was also in a panic at this time, but he still forced himself to be calm, and ordered the family knights to immediately summon the army to suppress the rebellion.
At this time, Songlin Town has indeed become a mess.
All kinds of rumors did not know where they started, but they spread quickly like a plague.
It was said that the Longba family was going to run away with the last food stored in the town.
It is also said that trolls are about to invade again, and this year's spring plowing is hopeless.
It is also said that when Baron Lomba went to Ice Rock City, he took all the elite of the family army away, and at this time Pine Forest Town was empty of troops...
Panic, anxiety, and greed continued to spread, making all the residents in the town who were suffering from food shortages eager to move.
I don't know who made the first call and lit the first fire, but soon, the fire swept across the entire Pine Forest Town like a prairie fire.
Riots started.
…
When the twilight of the morning sun dispelled the thick fog in the field, an army was slowly moving towards the town of Pinewood.
"Master Viscount, Pinewood Town is not far ahead. You really don't need to send it any further. We can escort Lord Baron's body back."
Knight Mark persuaded Colin respectfully.
The knight of the Lomba family was extremely wary of the young lord of Ice Rock City, and he also felt that the death of the baron was very strange.
"Hey, Baron Lomba died in Ice Rock City. I always have an unshirkable responsibility. Let me send his body to Pine Forest Town. Moreover, the rebellion in the northern border has been frequent recently, and I am also worried that you will encounter accidents on the way back. .”
Knight Mark is slandering—the biggest accident has happened in your Ice Rock City.
But in the face of the powerful Viscount Angelet, he still couldn't change anything, so he could only keep his worries in his heart, and walked towards Pine Forest Town in silence.
After walking for a while, suddenly a sentry came back to report: "Master Viscount, Songlin Town is on fire ahead, it seems that there is a rebellion!"
"What?"
Knight Mark was still in astonishment, but Colin over there had already issued an order decisively:
"Pass my military order, speed up the march, and enter the town to quell the chaos!"
"Master Viscount, it should be just a small-scale slave rebellion, our Lomba family can handle it by ourselves, don't bother you..."
Knight Mark still didn't want the Angelet family's army to enter Pinewood Town, but Colin ignored him and still gave the order.
"Knight Mark, don't be so alien. As vassals of the Duke of St. Hilde, we should watch out and help each other! Black Cavalry, attack!"
With an order, the Black Cavalry Army, which had already been waiting in full force, immediately rushed towards Pine Forest Town like a raging tide.
Knight Mark stared blankly at the cavalry army going away, feeling extremely uneasy in his heart.
