Reborn as a Werewolf Ancestor Chapter 127: Cause of civil unrest
"My lord! My lord!"
Just as 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.
Looking at the man in front of him who had no fighting intentions and the woman who kept crying, Catherine had to put down the long sword in her hand and asked why.
"Stop, stop, stop."
Catherine spoke and asked the women beside her to 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."
I just heard the woman begin to slowly describe what 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."
"Originally one month ago, 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, who publicly announced the news of the baron's death. She wanted to take control of 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 baron of the past naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the loyal sergeant, even as a baroness."
"The Master Chief immediately led people to take down the baroness who spoke rudely, but they collided with the knight captain who was guarding the lady."
"It is said that the lady 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 a single heir, otherwise, how could it be the baroness' turn to seize power..."
"The force in the territory is divided into two, one is led by the soldier captain, and the other is controlled by the knight commander."
"They started a fierce struggle inside the castle. They fought in darkness and blood flowed like a river. Since the strength of the two sides was almost the same as that of the Transcendent, they did not make a decision 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 and 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. One place, 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 atrium 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 is a little puzzled. Is the old baron really dead as the other party said?
"So, your lord is really dead?" she asked.
I saw the other party shook his head and said, "I don't know too well, it's just that the baron hasn't heard from you since he went to attend the banquet in the capital."
"I see." Catherine, who received the reply from the other party, already had the 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.
So, apart from Kane and the others with Adeline's help, no other nobles should be able to survive.
Moreover, inferring 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 at the 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 ten 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.
"Hoo!!"
A fast sword quickly struck from Catherine's hand, crossed the hair ends of several women, and stabbed the throat of the soldier behind him who wanted to hijack him.
"Ah..."
Blood was left on the soldier's wound, the rupture of the trachea and the gushing of blood made him unable to speak the last words, leaving only an unknown sound, and he passed away in convulsions.
"Yeah!!!"
These women didn't notice the scene behind them until the other party fell down, and ran towards Catherine in fright.
This action not only attracted a few women ~IndoMTL.com~, even the dozen or so soldiers behind them who were going to hold hostage were also frightened to stay where they were and did not dare to move.
"You don't know what's wrong?" Catherine stared indifferently at the dozen or so people in front of her.
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 up these people." She ordered to the soldiers beside her.
"Yes, sir."
Soon, several soldiers joined forces to tie up the group of 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 sighed: "I never thought that a barony would end up in such a state because of internal fighting."
Catherine said: "That's why it is said that human ambitions cannot be budgeted."
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 place. They were soldiers killed and wounded by the confrontation between the two armies. In front of the bedroom door were two Chaofan with wide-eyed eyes and long swords stuck in their chests. Or, presumably this is the cavalry captain and soldier captain that the woman said.
