Release that Witch Chapter 321: Border Town’s Law
Roland was awakened by freezing early in the morning. He climbed out of the cold quilt, put on a woolen coat, and dipped his feet into a warm bucket.
This is the corruption privilege that he can only enjoy as a His Highness the Prince. Every morning, the maid will put the hot water by his bed. In addition, there is a clean towel and hot milk. His body instantly warmed.
Of course, he feels that he has converged enough compared to the general warming of large noble. Originally Fourth Prince brought the maid captain Tyre to make this idea, but unfortunately he whine. Roland did not like this approach, so the vacated position was handed over to the old and experienced old maid. In fact, this choice was very correct. At present, many witch have been moved in the castle, but she still fights inside and outside the castle. Well organized.
The flame in the fireplace has long gone, leaving only white fly ash. There were gusts of cold wind blowing in the cracks in the window behind, and it was hard to believe that it was still Mid Autumn. Roland wipe your feet dry, wash with another basin of hot water, go to the window and close the window that has been open overnight.
Although open fire fireplaces are very common in this era, he is still worried about carbon monoxide poisoning, leaving a gap every night when he sleeps. In the first half of the night, the indoor temperature can still be kept warm. As the firewood burns out, it is no different from the outdoor in the early hours.
I have to find a way to solve this problem, Roland thinks, otherwise I wo n’t be able to sleep later.
After breakfast, he took Nightingale, Chief Knight and Yigan personal guard to the city wall for a routine inspection.
A large piece of grass is separating the new city wall from the old city wall. Now it has become a vast expanse of white. Walking on the thick snow, the soles will make a crunching sound.
raised head, the sky was a pale gray, and occasionally a cloud of snowflakes drifted into his neck, bringing a touch of coldness. He knew that such weather was likely to continue into the spring of the following year ... or even longer.
"How about the defense line situation?"
"Much better than last time," Carter Lannis looked relaxed. "Most of the First Army soldiers have been on the battlefield, and they have revolving rifle. A section of a city wall of about 100 meters can be suppressed and lived by ten people. The Evil Beast rotating below. And the new city wall is half a meter higher than the previous stone wall. It is also difficult for Wolf species to jump directly to the city head. It is a practice for shooting soldiers. As long as Evil Beast Hybrid(s) does not appear, this group of monsters do n’t want to cross the line . "
"That's it."
Roland ascended the city wall, soldiers held their heads tall and saluted him along the way. Judging from this spirit alone, it has already been judged by the original militia fighters. At that time, although everyone stood at the wall and seemed to pierce the wooden guns uniformly, it was just a conditional reflection formed by repeatedly training an action. Their eyes were numb and their movements were stiff. If they looked closely, they could see that most of their legs were shaking slightly.
Now the soldiers' self-confidence appears in their eyes. After finishing the ceremony, they re-gaze to the front and continue to monitor the battlefield.
Walk along the city wall to the side of Hidden Forest, it seems to be a lot of fun here.
Temporary dwellings built for serfs and refugees are arranged in this area, and looking down from the wall, I can see that long strips of soil are lined up one after another, like undulating wave lines. There are more than ten houses inside each raised soil slope, the structure of which is exactly the same as that of the cave. The thick soil wall can keep the indoor temperature, and the heating artifact fire, the cover of sackcloth can keep away from the cold.
The entire residence is divided into two large areas. The area near the city wall is called the West District and is used to house refugees. The east area far from the city wall is divided into serfs.
Every day City Hall sends people here to distribute food and charcoal, and refugees also needs to provide logistical transportation for the First Army that guards the city walls. As for serfs, most of them have enough wheat they need, except for some mental ones When people go out to find handyman, and earn extra money for themselves, other people rarely leave warm houses.
At this moment, a fierce argument broke out at the junction of the east and west. Roland looked around and saw a group of people arguing loudly on the avenue in the middle of the residential area. One of them was wearing a blue and white uniform and seemed to be the clerk of City Hall. The quarrel soon escalated into a brawl, and the two groups smashed into a mess, and the scene was chaotic.
"His Royal Highness?" Carter asked.
"Let's go and see," Roland nodded.
A party came to the trouble spot. Chief Knight took the lead and rushed directly into the brawling crowd, knocking down some of the most violent people to the ground two or three times. The personal guards of Roland also pulled out their long swords and drank everyone to stop. The scene was quickly brought under control.
After discovering that the person is actually feudal lord, the two waves of people fell to the ground together.
"What's your name?" Roland looked at the clerk with two punches on his face, frowning, "What happened here, who attacked you first?"
"His Royal Highness, I'm Colla Xavius," he yelled, covering his face. "It's the **** refugees who first worked, dressed in brown linen! I'm still distributing food, and he rushed up like an evil dog . "
refugees pointed to by Koya looked up and said, "His Royal Highness, things are not what he said. These people and serfs colluded to blackmail us, and each wheat porridge charge you. When you kept us, you said it clearly These are distributed for free! "
Roland is a little surprised. eastern region refugees has been combed by City Hall. Everyone who is a craftsman, a person with special abilities, or a literate person is moved into the ring, and the rest are, as a matter of course, ordinary civilians. However, in terms of the tone and words he spoke, it didn't look like a civilian could speak it.
By comparison, the City Hall member whose mouth is full of insulting words such as **** and evil dogs is really disappointing. Since there is a name and a surname ... in all likelihood, Knight, the submissive of Duke Ryan.
"I did say that before you were officially incorporated into Border Town, wheat porridge and residence were free," Roland repeated in front of all refugees, "Now, these words are still valid!"
"His Royal Highness!"
"Long live feudal lord!"
"Thank Your Highness!"
refugees scratched his head and shouted.
And Colla Xavius's complexion suddenly turned blue.
"However, fighting and hurting people in the territory also violated the law, especially attacking a City Hall member," Roland signaled to personal guard, "grabbing all the refugees and serfs who were beating hands to the castle, I will try this fight myself. "
He was paused, and then looked at Keya with interest, "I would also like to ask you, what exactly is the wheat porridge that charges for money.".
