As the days passed, the turmoil caused by the Wild West gradually subsided.

Not to mention how the Templar was going to appease the angry envoys, it was a sudden disaster for ordinary civilians, and life would go on no matter what the reason was. So after complaining, they still packed up their things and began to focus on the winter in front of them. After all, the cold winter is just around the corner, and that's more important than anything else.

However, some places are not so peaceful.

"Smack!!"

The crystal glass was tossed to the ground, and with a crisp sound it shattered, and the bright red wine poured out of it, soaking the expensive gauze carpet in front of him like blood. This also means that this blanket, which was transported here after a thousand miles of travel from the west coast of Erlenherz, is no longer useful.

"It's been a whole month, Natsu, but you're telling me you haven't taken care of that little trouble in the Khalkaland region?"

Dogante. Soros sat in his chair, his body trembling with his rage, making him look like a pile of shivering fat. In front of him, the man in knight's armor was half-crouching respectfully, his face gloomy and silent.

It's no wonder that Dogant is so angry, as the seventh son of the Soros family, he is not a capable person. In fact, he didn't even know why the Soros family insisted on provoking a civil war with the Pawood family after the retreat of the Shining Gold Empire, but he didn't ask. The so-called noble man is self-aware, and he knows his status in the Soros family. I also know what kind of person I am, so I never want to buy things that I can't get. Instead, he did his best to obey his father's commands, and that's why he did. He was able to live a peaceful and leisurely life on this land.

And after receiving the news of the family's request to collect logistics materials, Dogant naturally did not hesitate to send his men out to plunder. Of course, he knew that those civilians did not have much food in their hands -- this year's harvest in the Khalkharan region was as usual, in fact, they had already harvested grain once when they fought against the Shining Gold Empire, and now those civilians only had a minimum amount of food left. But what does it matter in Dogant's view? Anyway, it's just a group of civilians, even if there is no food, isn't it the same to chew the grass roots? Besides, they're so good at digging up the mud in the ground. You might be able to survive by eating some dirt.

What's more, even if he dies, it has nothing to do with him.

Of course, this naturally provoked a revolt from the civilians, which was expected by Dogant, but it didn't matter. With his understanding of civilians, no matter how loud those civilians screamed, it would be useless to organize a cavalry team to rush forward, and they would scatter and flee in all directions in fear. It's just a rabble, and it's not worth mentioning at all.

But this time the situation is a little different.

First of all, a group of private soldiers sent by Dogant to the Khalkhaland region was wiped out -- much to the annoyance of Dogant, who had sent a mage with him to make sure nothing went wrong. As a result, it will be completely destroyed. This also completely angered this pile of walking fat, so he was promoted to the next level, and sent his own personal guard captain to personally lead half of the squadron of soldiers to encircle and suppress. It stands to reason that this time should really be foolproof. And what made Dogant angry was. The captain of his own personal guard actually failed!!

Not only that, but the news from the captain of the guard surprised Doante even more. That is, those civilians actually gathered an army, claiming to bring down themselves and overthrow the tyrannical rule of the Soros family in Khalkhaland?!!

The first time he heard the news, Dogant also suspected that he was drunk, and then he suspected that the other party was drunk. "Those commoners" claim to overthrow the rule of a nobleman in the rightful territory that belongs to him? The news sounded even more ridiculous to Dogant than the sun coming out of the west.

If that's all there is to it, then for Dogant, it's just a joke. But the problem is that the other side seems to be more than just talking, they even put up a banner called the "Free Army of National Salvation", and began to roam the wilderness areas of those towns, and attacked every team sent by Doante to collect food and taxes. This almost made Dogant angry, although he also knew that he was not a capable person, and within the Soros family, not many people looked up to him, but they were all nobles, and now, these guys were just a group of commoners. A group of civilians!! A bunch of lowly civilians!! It's just a herd of animals!! When had he ever seen a herded lamb in turn attack its owner?!!

It's the other way around! It's the other way around!!

"Well, the mob......... Who is the leader? ”

"Your Excellency, according to our investigation, the leader is named Oldman, who used to be the head of the garrison in a village in the Khalkaland region."

"Captain of the garrison?"

Hearing this, the fat on Dogante's face trembled.

"And what about his background?"

"According to our investigation, it seems that his ancestors have been farming there all along."

“……………”

Hearing the captain's answer, Doante picked up his pipe, took two puffs, and then he slowly stood up, although he didn't say a word, but the captain of the guard, who was half-kneeling in front of him, hurriedly lowered his head. With his understanding of his master, this was the harbinger of his outburst.

Sure enough, the next moment, the volcano erupted.

"A farmer's bastard!! You mean, that man is not a descendant of a knight, nor is he a down-and-out nobleman, and there is no noble noble blood flowing in his body at all!! He's nothing more than a lowliest, farmer's bastard!! You're saying that this is the one who raised the banner against me!? ”

Dogant raised his hands angrily and waved them vigorously, feeling deeply insulted. If the other party used to be a down-and-out nobleman, or if the ancestor had some glorious exploits, then he could accept it. But the other party is just a farmer!! Just a farmer!! This gave Dogant the feeling that it was almost like an insult to him as a nobleman. No, the pride of being human!! It's like a person being forced to lie on the ground. To deal with the provocation of a mad dog!!

What a humiliating thing it is!!

And now, this stray dog actually wants to rebel against him!!

"It just doesn't make sense!! Gather everyone at once. No, gather my team of chasseurs!! Eradicate those people in one fell swoop!! Wipe them all, everyone!! ”

"But my lord, many villagers in the Khalkhaland region have joined his team now........."

"Then kill them all, from old to young, there is no one left!! I'm going to let their corpses hang all over the block, I'm going to let their corpses float on the walls, I'm going to make those who dare to resist me understand what happens if they rebel against a nobleman!! ”

"But my lord. We don't have enough troops in the rear, most of them have already been sent to the front, and if you insist on sending chasseurs, then we probably don't have enough protection........."

The captain of the guard did not finish his words, for he saw Dogant suddenly turn his head, his eyes bloodshot at him. For a moment, this short, chubby-looking aristocrat actually gave people a sense of threat similar to that of a bulldog.

"What do you mean......... Would those mobs still dare to attack a nobleman's castle? ”

“……………”

The captain of the guard did not speak, but it was clear from his expression that he clearly thought so.

"You ..............."

Look at the captain of his own guard. Dogant couldn't help but be angry, he stretched out his hand to point at the other party, and was about to say something, suddenly. A series of hurried footsteps rang out, followed by a heavy knock on the door, and before Dogant could respond, it was pushed open. Immediately afterwards, I saw a herald rushing in out of breath.

"Report, report to your lordship. Big things are wrong!! ”

"What's wrong? What happened? ”

Seeing the herald's pale expression, Dogant frowned. Then he asked. Although he was quite annoyed that the herald rushed in without waiting for his own report, and even wanted to give an order for someone to drag him down and eat a whip, but looking at his appearance, Dogant was keenly aware that something terrible must have happened. Hearing his inquiry, the herald took a few breaths before calming down, and then he raised his head to look at Dogant, and said with a pale face.

"Well, the mob calling itself the 'Free Salvation Army' has launched an attack on Fort Reed, and has taken it!"

"What do you say!?"

Hearing this, Dogante and the captain of the guard both stared at the herald in front of them with wide eyes in surprise. Fort Reed is a small castle on the outskirts of the Khalkaland region, and although it is only a small fortress station, it also represents the glory of the Soros family!! And now, those mobs have the audacity to attack Fort Reed, and take it down?

"What about Sir Setas?!! What's he doing!! ”

"Sir Setas......... ......... who have died in the line of duty"

"What !?"

In the face of this news, Dogant finally had no way to calm down, Setas was the knight of the Soros family, and now, he was actually killed by a group of mobs?

"How unreasonable, it's unreasonable!!"

At this moment, Dogante was already furious.

"Where did they get the guts!! Dare to attack the Soros family, it's really the opposite! It's the other way around!! ”

People are already reversed.........

Hearing Dogante's nonsense, the captain of the guard shook his head helplessly, then he frowned, thought for a moment, and then asked.

"How many people are on the other side?"

Hearing this, Dogant also calmed down. Indeed, although Reed Fort is a small castle, it is also a castle, and those mobs are no more than a hundred people according to reason, how can they capture the next castle? Then the question arises, how many of these mobs are there?

"I don't know, my lord, three hundred......... Five hundred......... Probably more!! ”

"What?!" (To be continued......)
