Chapter 315 Taking Over Feilie Territory

Chapter 315 Taking Over Feilie Territory

“She said that she was born in the most humble slave den, and that she was able to grow to where she is today by exchanging her body for all the resources she had along the way.

But that was when she was sober. After she lost herself, she didn’t want to be with any man anymore.”

“You agreed to it too.” Charlotte stroked her sister’s hair.

“Ah.”

“You know, the envoy of God wants to transform the two of them into General Yuhui.”

“General Yuhui? What is that?”

“Just like those Xing Hui generals outside, except that they are of the Heavenly Rank. They will be even more powerful after the transformation.”

“What about what I promised them?”

“I’ll fight for you.”

Thinking of General Xing Hui holding the flail, Weijia’s eyes showed fear and said:

“The power of the Lord of God is truly terrifying. Sister, are we following her to restore our country or… destroy it?”

“Shut up!” Charlotte shouted, “Of course we are restoring our country. The Kingdom of William will surely reappear.”

“But, on this road, all I see is destruction.”

Weijia hugged her knees tightly, tears streaming down her face.

“More than half of the people in this Hanling City are women and children. I personally led the group of priests to purify them one by one.”

“Sister, can you understand how I feel?
They are still just children, some of them are not even as tall as my waist, with innocence in their eyes, wuwuwu…” The girl sobbed.

“For the sake of restoring my country and my sister, I am willing to do anything. But now I just want to burn myself to death!”

Charlotte closed her eyes in pain. She hugged her sister but didn’t know what to say.

“The mothers of those children were madly trying to attack me, they were crying, begging for mercy, cursing, asking me to let their children go.

Wuwu…but sister, who can let me go?”

Charlotte’s eyes showed deep hatred:

“Weijia, we have no way out. Even if there is destruction ahead, we will keep going.

But before that, I must destroy Dante first!”

Early that morning, Raven led a team of a hundred men toward Fierling.

When arriving outside the territory, Raven frowned deeply.

The territory of Feilie was like a refugee camp, filled with ragged refugees.

When they saw Raven and his group, they all looked at them, and some bold ones even tried to come up and ask for food.

Raven brought a batch of food this time, and gave some to everyone when he saw their miserable plight.

Now people from all around gathered around.

Raven did not drive them away, but ordered Hughie to organize the refugees on the spot and distribute food in an orderly manner.

“Listen carefully, this is Earl Raven, your new lord.

From now on, Fielie County will be under the jurisdiction of the Earl, and you will no longer have to suffer from hunger!”

Huey announced as he handed them out.

“New lord?” The refugees began to observe Riven.

“The Count? Why is he so young?”

“There shouldn’t be any mistake. Look at the guards behind him.” Everyone pointed.

“Sir, we have been driven out of the city and have no choice but to stay here. Please don’t leave us homeless.”

A woman with a child suddenly knelt down and prayed.

“Yes, we have nothing. Please, Lord, give us a way to survive.”

More people knelt down…

In the Viscount Fier’s mansion, Acting Lord Depp was talking to a woman.

The woman was completely covered in a grey cloak, with only her grey-brown eyes visible.

“Don’t worry, I know what to do about this.” Depp put away a star card and said in a deep voice.

Seeing him accept the star card, the woman chuckled:
“You are truly a sensible person. You will definitely gain endless benefits by cooperating with our Gray Region.”

“I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future. I will help you secretly control Feilie Territory.”

Depp laughed.

He is a distant relative of Viscount Fiere. After the Viscount went to war, he was responsible for managing the territory until now.

Just then, cheers suddenly came from a distance.

“What’s going on?” Depp was surprised.

There was a knock on the door outside the house.

“Come in.”

The door opened and a breathless young man ran in.

“Uncle, a guy came from outside the city and was doing good deeds. All the refugees turned to his side.” “Who dares to be so bold?” Depp’s face darkened.

He has been creating tension and confrontation between the residents in the city and the refugees outside the city, firmly controlling the two groups and achieving the goal of controlling the entire territory.

Now this man’s actions clearly threatened him.

“It is said that he is a new lord, or even an earl, but I don’t believe it. He is just a young boy.”

“What?” Depp was speechless. This was what he was most worried about.

“Let’s go and take a look! Miss Siral, please leave first.”

The woman rolled her eyes and said, “Okay, if you need my help, just come to me.”

“Thank you, miss.”

Raven and his group slowly arrived at the city gate, followed by many refugees.

Here, he met Depp.

“Who are you and why are you interfering in the affairs of my Feilie Territory?” he asked coldly.

“How dare you!” Hughie raised his whip: “My master is the new lord here, who are you?”

There were only a dozen people around Depp. Seeing that Raven had more people, his tone softened:
“I am the person appointed by Viscount Feilie to manage the territory. Who are you?”

“My master is Count Lentini. His Majesty has allocated this place to him. Why don’t you pay your respects?” Hughie sneered.

Depp’s face changed: “Do you have any proof?”

Huey threw out the knighthood letter: “Watch this.”

Depp looked extremely serious, especially when doing the power stamp, he almost pasted his eyes on it.

After a while, he finally gave up and bowed to Raven: “Depp… Meet His Excellency the Earl.”

Raven looked at him calmly but said nothing.

He felt a strong hostility from the other party.

It wasn’t until Depp felt uncomfortable being watched that Raven finally spoke:
“From now on, this city gate will only keep out foreigners, not my subjects. People inside and outside the city will be treated the same.”

“This……”

Depp hesitated.

He rolled his eyes and looked at the residents around him. They were all from the city.

“Since the arrival of these refugees, the security in the city has deteriorated dramatically. I tried my best to ease the tension between the two groups.

If we let the refugees into the city, I’m afraid there will be chaos again.”

He was obviously trying to win over the people in the city to increase his speaking power.

“Yes, Lord, you don’t know how bad these refugees are! They stole a lot of things from my family!”

“Yes, they stole all our food supplies, these thieves!”

“They are robbers!”

More and more people came into the city, and they started to curse the refugees, blocking the city gates.

Outside the city gate, the refugees heard the insults and were not willing to be outdone. They immediately started cursing, and the atmosphere was full of hostility.

The scene became increasingly chaotic, and the crowd began to become restless and riotous.

Depp laughed inwardly.

Under his instigation, the two groups had already become hostile to each other, and only a small spark would cause a terrible riot.

His role is indispensable at this moment, and even if a new lord arrives, they can only rely on him.

Raven’s face darkened. He waved his hand and hundreds of guards separated the two groups.

“The foreign tribes outside are about to invade, and you still have the energy to fight among yourselves. Aren’t you afraid that your city will be destroyed and your family will be ruined?”

He shouted, pointing at the ragged people outside the city, and continued:

“The refugees originally had families and businesses, but the war forced them to flee.

As long as you give them a job, they will live and work in peace and contentment like you, and Fier City will become better and better.”

The people in the city were silent.

“My Lord, how can you guarantee that they will not infringe on my property?” someone shouted.

“I guarantee in the name of the Earl that they will behave themselves.

If the interests of any company are infringed, I will severely punish the offender and compensate the victim.”

As he finished speaking, the refugees suddenly burst into cheers, praising Riven endlessly.

“Thank you Lord Lord!”

“We will definitely not destroy it.”

“Yes, we are human too.”

……

The residents in the city also seemed to be relieved and quietly made way.
