In Pine Forest Town, the rebellion has not yet completely subsided.
However, under the suppression of the Lomba family army, the arrogance of the rebel army has been completely suppressed. According to this trend, it is estimated that this rebellion will be completely suppressed in a short time.
Some rebellious civilians also saw that the situation was not good. Seeing that they were no match for the army of the Lomba family, they rushed towards the city gate, preparing to flee Pine Forest Town with the property and food they robbed overnight.
The Lombard family army saw this, but did not stop it. They are short of troops now, and their first task is to stabilize the situation in the town. It is difficult for those fleeing rebels to take care of them. Moreover, after these people flee, they can reduce their pressure.
But just as the rebels successfully opened the gate to the east of the town and were about to rush out, they suddenly heard the sound of a low-pitched horn coming from a distance.
Then the thunderous sound of horseshoes shook the ground in Songlin Town, and the black cavalry army instantly filled the wilderness outside the town.
Those rebels had never seen such a majestic cavalry charge, they were scared and fled back to the town, it seems that compared with those fierce cavalry, the army of the Lomba family is completely a group of harmless sheep .
"The Black Cavalry was ordered by Viscount Angelet to assist in suppressing the rebellion!"
The Logue knights rushing to the outside of Pinewood Town roared, regardless of whether the Lomba family was willing to accept their assistance or not, they directly led the black cavalry troops and rushed into the town like sharp arrows.
The ensuing situation is naturally good.
The rebel army, which even the army of the Lomba family could not resist, had no choice but to kneel down and surrender in the face of the even more terrifying black cavalry army.
But the arrival of the Black Cavalry made the members of the Lomba family worried.
They didn't believe that the Black Cavalry would come to help them put down the chaos with such kindness.
Moreover, the timing of the arrival of the Black Cavalry is too coincidental.
Just like the assassination of Baron Lomba in Ice Rock City, it was full of various coincidences.
But once there are too many coincidences, it is hard to believe that this is not a conspiracy planned by someone with a heart behind the scenes.
When Colin entered Pinewood Town, the rebellion in the town had basically subsided.
Everyone in the Lomba family welcomed the powerful young viscount into their castle with anxiety.
"Master Viscount, thank you for your helping hand this time. The Lomba family will always be grateful." White followed Colin carefully and thanked him respectfully.
Those wolf-like black cavalry made him feel a strong threat, so even though he was full of doubts about Viscount Angelet, White didn't dare to show it.
"Knight White, don't be so polite! Regarding your father's death, I am also responsible for my poor protection. Therefore, helping to put down the chaos this time is also my apology to the Lomba family."
Colin spoke politely, but after entering the castle hall, he sat on the main seat without hesitation.
The corner of White's mouth twitched, but he didn't dare to say anything more.
The butler of the Lomba family tentatively asked, "Master Viscount, how many days are you planning to stay in Pinewood Town? We can arrange reception for you."
"No need to make any special arrangements." Colin smiled and waved his hands, "I'm leaving today."
White's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt that he might have misunderstood Viscount Angelet.
But in the next second, he immediately dismissed this naive idea, because Colin continued:
"However, the Logue Knights will stay, and a part of the Black Cavalry Army will also stay to prevent another rebellion in Pinewood Town."
"Master Viscount, we appreciate your kindness, but it is the responsibility of the Lomba family to protect Pinewood Town, and we are capable of doing it alone, without you..."
"White Knight," Colin directly interrupted White's evasion, "you are not the lord of Pinewood Town yet, are you?"
"I... really haven't..."
Although White was the eldest son of Baron Lombar and the first heir to the baronial title, he could not be regarded as the lord of Pinewood Town strictly speaking before he received the handbook from the Duke of St. Hilde.
Colin spread his hands and said, "So, your first task now is to go to Cold Winter City to accept the canonization of the Duke of the North, instead of boasting to me here, saying that you have the ability to protect Pinewood Town.
I'm not questioning your ability, but your qualifications! "
White opened his mouth, just about to defend himself, but Colin didn't give him this chance at all, and said in an aggressive tone again:
"Also, Knight White, if I didn't lead the army to help the Lomba family put down the chaos this time, it's not certain whether you can hold Pinewood Town!
According to the lord's law, if Pine Forest Town is lost, what right do you have to inherit your father's title? "
Now White couldn't bear it anymore, and loudly argued: "Master Viscount! You can't question the ability of the Lombard family like this! Even without the help of the Black Cavalry, we can still hold Pinewood Town! As for whether I am qualified to inherit the Baron The position, that will also be decided by the Duke of the North!"
Colin waved his hands with a smile, signaling White not to get excited, and said calmly: "That's why I said, your first task now is to go to Winter City to meet the Lord Duke. Don't worry, I have no intention of competing with the Lomba family for Pinewood Town belong."
"Since you have no intention of occupying Pinewood Town, please take your army with you."
"Knight White, you are too narrow-minded. The reason why I left the army is because I really want to help you defend Pinewood Town. Don't rush to refuse! Don't you need the family army to escort you to Winter City? You know, now The northern border of China is not peaceful.
After taking away the family army, don't you worry about the revival of the rebellion in Pinewood Town? "
Only then was White speechless, as if he felt that what Colin said made sense.
Seeing this, the old butler of the Longba family stood up and said, "Master Viscount, thank you for your kindness. But our Longba family does not want to owe too much favor, so we'd better sign an agreement to confirm your assistance The conditions and rewards for guarding Pinewood Town."
Only then did White come to his senses, nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right! Lord Viscount, let's sign an agreement."
Ke Lin laughed heartily, seeing through the plan of the Lomba family at a glance.
They wanted to put all the conditions of the garrison and defense on paper. In this way, it would be difficult for Colin to blatantly plan for Pine Forest Town.
However, what the Lomba family didn't know was that Colin had no intention of occupying this town.
"Yes. However, as a reward for sending troops to quell the chaos and assisting in maintaining stability in the future, I need ten years of logging rights in the North Forest District of Songlin Township."
"Ten years?" White exclaimed, shaking his head again and again, "It's too long, Lord Viscount, I will give you the right to harvest for three years at most!"
The Zhenbei Forest District in Pine Forest Town can be said to be the cash cow of the Longba family. The red pine trees produced there can not only be used as excellent building timber, but also produce a kind of pine resin, which is also an extremely expensive medicinal material.
"Knight White, before you accept the canonization of the Duke and become the lord of Pinewood Town, you are not qualified to bargain with me. The current Pinewood Town, let the Angelet family help you protect it temporarily."
White suppressed the humiliation and anger in his heart, so he had to bow his head and said: "Okay, then I will trouble you, Lord Viscount, and I will set off for Winter City to meet Lord Duke!"
Only then did Colin show a satisfied smile.
Looking through the members of the Lomba family, looking in the direction of Winter City, he thought to himself—
Duke of St. Hilde, it is time for you to come out to meet the guests this time.
