Chapter 31 The Enraged Lord
The violent tremor was like a thunderclap, and a visible ripple rose from the ground, rushing toward the slave-catching team's camp with lightning speed!
Wherever they went.
The ground exploded with a bang, sending debris flying everywhere!
Boom boom boom!
Before the five men, including Finnster, could even scream, their flesh and skin instantly crumbled to pieces under the terrifying force of the shockwave!
The binding chains snapped into pieces scattered on the ground. The two nearby campfires were slightly affected and quickly collapsed and scattered, their flames flickering like velvet and suddenly becoming bright.
finally.
Five skeletons, their flesh and blood separated, were shattered into five piles of broken bones!
...
Everyone was stunned!
The serfs stopped in their tracks and stared wide-eyed!
The guards were stunned and almost dropped their swords!
Everyone inside and outside the camp stared at this scene in disbelief, their hearts pounding wildly as if struck by a powerful shock!
The six packhorses tied to the wall were frightened and collapsed, neighing incessantly.
The iron cage imprisoning the snow hare had already been moved to the wall by Karl beforehand, which is how it narrowly escaped this ordeal.
The girl looked at the wreckage on the ground, her snow-white rabbit ears trembling slightly, but a look of relief appeared in her eyes, and tears silently streamed down her face.
The rumbling of the earth gradually subsided...
Darkness devours starlight, leaving the fire...
When the wasteland returns to deathly silence...
...
—Suddenly!
An angry roar once again shattered the night sky!
"Chop all their bones into pieces, grind them into powder, mix them with their flesh and blood, and throw them all into the latrine!!"
"Shovel up all the blood-stained turf and throw it all in!!"
Unlike his usual gentle and refined demeanor, Richard was now like a bloodthirsty tiger unleashed from its cage, exuding a violent aura!
The guards' hearts skipped a beat!
The lord is furious!
"Yes, sir!"
The guards were about to step forward to carry out the order when Richard suddenly pointed at them and shouted angrily!
"Listen up, all of you!"
The nine guards immediately knelt on one knee, awaiting further instructions.
Richard flicked his finger, pointing towards the camp, his voice ringing out with conviction.
"remember!"
"They may be serfs, but they are also Chiffon's serfs, they are my people!"
"From now on, no matter who they are, where they come from, or what they want to do, even if they are nobles, anyone who dares to harm Chiffon's subjects and serfs without cause will be Chiffon's enemy!"
"You don't need to ask for permission. Kill them on the spot. I'll take responsibility for anything that happens!"
"But if you dare hesitate for even a second, I will personally whip your backs to pieces, break your swords, and spit on your oaths!!"
"Did you all understand?!"
The guards pounded their chests, their eyes filled with determination, and answered in unison:
"Understood!"
No one would find this order harsh; there were many more exaggerated military orders in the Wolf Army.
They admired the lord's decisive and ruthless side even more.
No soldier would like a general with a sheep-like temperament; otherwise, how could he lead everyone to establish a foothold in this wild and desolate northern region?
...
It's unclear who started it.
All the serfs knelt down in response.
"Long live Lord Richard!!"
"May chiffon cake live on forever!!"
Their heartfelt, devout shouts shook the earth far more than the combat techniques displayed by the Rock Armored Earth Dragon!
They were indeed serfs.
But he was a serf of chiffon!
Linor sat on the ground, holding Ira and wailing. Ira stared intently at her lord, but her vision was blurred by tears and she couldn't see anything clearly.
"Chiffon cake..."
"Lord..."
The snow rabbit girl in the cage, listening to the deafening shouts and watching the boy ride the rock-armored earth dragon back into the enclosure while being worshipped, felt a pang of sorrow for no reason.
To escape the oppression of the orcs, the Snow Rabbit tribe left the Cape Region.
They finally settled down in the far north and enjoyed a few years of peace.
Unexpectedly...
Then came the human expansion...
It seems that every inch of land is naturally engraved with the name of his people.
I just don't know when they will arrive, or how they will arrive.
The world is vast.
However, there was no living space for the snow rabbit clan.
If weakness is the original sin, then why bring the Snow Rabbit clan into this terrifying world?
She doesn't understand.
Now, the chieftain should be leading the tribe away from the Rocky Forest, right?
The thought that he would never see his other people again in his life, and that he would have to face unknown horrors, was terrifying.
Xueyue's face was filled with sorrow, and she curled up into a ball, tears dripping down her face.
"Father..."
"Mother..."
"Ah Yue is so scared..."
...
...
Back at the camp, before the maids who had followed him could even make a move, Richard flung open the tent flap and stepped inside.
He turned around and sat down on the wooden chair.
His chest was still heaving, which meant that he was still angry.
He didn't want to change some of the world's rules, nor did he want to be enemies with anyone; he just wanted to manage his own little corner of the world.
He needs to build up the Qifeng territory and cultivate a loyal and reliable army so that he can live the life he desires.
But Finnster and his group's actions repeatedly trampled on his bottom line, which made him unable to suppress his anger any longer, leading him to use the most violent means to kill them.
Although his newly formulated plans would be delayed or hindered as a result, and even the letter he had just written would not be delivered, he did not regret it.
but...
Sigh!
...
The six maids who had been watching outside filed in and, seeing Richard's gloomy face, stood aside with their hands at their sides.
Lina heard a sigh.
Muster up the courage to take a step forward.
"Sir, shall I help you relax?"
Upon hearing this, Richard forced a stiff smile, nodded, closed his eyes, and slumped back in his chair, waiting for her service.
Lina went behind him and gently pressed his temples. Although her technique was mediocre, it did help to relieve some of the tightness in his chest.
"Master, didn't you already punish the slave-catching team? Why are you still unhappy?"
She remembered that the master had said that as a maid, she had to make the master more comfortable, so she wanted to try to help Richard out of his troubles.
Richard sighed again.
"It's my fault that Irara is paralyzed. I'm not a good enough lord and I failed to protect them."
Hearing his self-reproachful tone, the other five maids felt an indescribable surge of emotion.
Everyone rushed forward to surround him and serve him along with Lina.
"Sir, how can you be blamed for this? Those heartless people are the real murderers," Nicole said, squatting beside the chair, massaging her legs as she argued.
"That's right, the master is the best master in the world, don't be sad." Susan gently massaged his shoulders and comforted him.
"Even if Illara is paralyzed, he will have Linor to take care of him in the future. That's much better than the fate of many serfs." Martha gently rubbed his calf, hoping to relieve his fatigue.
The maids' chatter finally cheered Richard up considerably.
He reached out and patted Betty's head.
He said in a deep voice:
"My inability to protect my people and serfs only proves that I am an incompetent and failed lord."
"However, I will definitely make up for my mistakes. When I have the opportunity in the future, I will ask a high-ranking priest of the Holy See of Light to help Ira get back on her feet."
Spinal nerve injury is a hopeless condition even on Earth, but there are ways to treat it on the Huanxing Continent.
pity.
High-ranking priests usually only stay in the capital or large territories to preach. It is very difficult to invite them to small territories even if you have money, unless you have some very strong connections.
Earl of the Wolf should be able to help, but asking him for help for no reason is definitely not an option; there must be some price to pay.
