Chapter 229 Split and Weakened



Those new subjects had hoped that Kudore could serve as the guard officer of the Ubei Territory, so that they would have someone to rely on in the future.

But they never expected that the lord who was so relaxed and calm in the last second would suddenly become furious and kill people in the next second without any warning.

Looking at the torn body of Kudore on the ground, how could he, a nearly advanced professional knight, die in an instant without even the slightest ability to resist? They thought of their plan with Kudore, and their bodies went cold for a moment.

Some of the timid ones collapsed directly to the ground, their crotches soaked with shit and urine;

Some people just stood there in a daze, unable to react for a moment, not knowing what to do; some others felt terrified and knelt on the ground begging for the lord's forgiveness.

On the other hand, Wilson and others were stunned and then delighted.

I said, how could the Lord allow an outsider intermediate knight to serve as the guard officer of Wubei Territory? A man like Kudolei is not even worthy of being McKen's deputy.

"You shall die if you challenge the authority of adults!"

Wilson thought angrily in his heart, and the anger he had just felt at being slandered by the other party finally dissipated.

For Roning, if Kudore simply had a conflict with Wilson and others and injured them, his crime would not deserve the death penalty.

After punishing him as a warning to others, perhaps he can still use him for his own benefit.

But the other party has too many thoughts.

Not only did they form cliques and deceive Lord Roning in front of so many people, they even joined forces to put pressure on the lord in order to seek benefits.

If Roning takes a step back and lets the other party go today, what will happen if this group of people does the same thing again in the future?

Anthony was right. Wubei Territory was indeed short of men, and even more so of available knights.

Roning also welcomes outsiders to join, but he also has a bottom line. People like Kudore are not welcome by him.

"What I am willing to give is yours, and don't have any bad ideas about what I am not going to give."

Roning's voice was mixed with the fighting spirit of a knight, and it was loud and majestic, which made the chaotic crowd begging for mercy shut their mouths, and one by one they were silent.

"I understand your intentions. You just want to make trouble together. It would be best if you can get more farmland. It doesn't matter if you can't. Do you think I will kill you all?"

He sneered and said, "I won't kill you, but I can expel you."

Good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels far and wide.

If he killed all these people, once the outside world knew about it, they would probably say that the Viscount of Wubei was a murderous butcher who was cruel to the free people who came to him.

As a result, people who want to come to Wubei Territory will be discouraged, which is extremely harmful to the development of the territory.

"I am merciful. I will give you two hours to think carefully about it. If you are willing to follow my instructions, I will allow you to stay. If you are not willing, please leave Wubei Territory now!"

Roning did not linger any longer and turned to leave: "Rogner, you stay to maintain order, Wilson, you come with me."

"Yes, sir!"

Wilson followed Ronin carefully. He didn't know why the lord asked him to come here alone. Was he going to punish him for not handling things properly? The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became.

Although he was relieved that the Lord had killed Kudore, he was filled with fear when he thought that the Lord could kill a mid-level knight in a breath.

The kind lord also has a cruel side.

"I estimate that not many of these people will leave. For those who stay, you need to separate them."

After leaving the crowd, Roning spoke as he walked.

"Shanlin Town, Sanfang Town, Swamp Town, and Black Soil Town, each place is short of people. Split them up and distribute them to various towns."

Wilson nodded thoughtfully. He probably understood the lord's intention.

These 500 people account for one seventh of the population of Shanlin Town. If they stick together, it will be difficult to manage and may cause disputes with the indigenous people.

Although there is no threat to Hillwood Castle, the unrest in the territory will greatly affect the adults' development arrangements and increase the difficulty of managing Wilson.

But if we break up this group of people and give each town a little, it will be much easier to manage.

"I understand, my Lord."

Wilson thought for a moment and then asked, "If they are a family, do they need to be separated?"

"Forget it if we're a family."

"When McKen returns to the territory, communicate with them. When a large number of outsiders enter the territory in the future, the knight squad should arrange cavalry, infantry and professional knights to maintain order on the scene. A situation like today is a slap in the face of the Lord's Mansion!"

"yes!"

Wilson lowered his head, feeling very nervous, "I will make sure to make proper arrangements in the future!"

"I can still trust you to do things, but sometimes you need to make more plans."

Ronin's tone softened.

"You are in charge of government affairs, and McKen is in charge of defense. Although the two of you belong to different departments, you still need to cooperate on some things. After all, maintaining order is also part of the territory's defense."

Wilson bowed and said, "You are right. I understand."

Roning waved his hand, asking the other party to leave and continue the work of resettling the free people, while he returned to Hillforest Castle.

"With more people in the territory, it is imperative to introduce basic regulations."

Before dealing with Ku'dorei, Roning had thought about how to punish him if he didn't kill him.

The kingdom had laws, but he had no idea what the laws were.

No one else in the territory knows either.

"It seems that we need to recruit some legal talents."

Legal provisions suitable for the Ukrainian Northern Territory should be formulated as needed so that when problems arise, there will be something to refer to, and there will be a law to follow for punishment.

When Wilson returned to the West Square, none of the free people who came from Barony Kona left. Even those who had just expressed their support for Ku'dorei kept their heads down and did not leave.

Firstly, they would have nowhere to go if they left Shanlin Town. Ronin was willing to give them farmland and provide a light tax policy, which other territories did not have.

Secondly, if they left now, they would definitely not be able to get out of the forest before dark.

With their strength and physique, it was extremely dangerous to spend the night in the forest near the Wushan Monster Mountain Range. They didn't even dare to think about it;

Third, and most importantly, they didn't know if they would be killed on the spot if they left like this? After all, Kudore's body was still there!

If they left, there was a high probability of death, but if they didn't leave, they might still be alive, so they all stayed.

If they had known the result would be like this, they would never have listened to Ku'dorei's call and spoken with one voice.

Some people with clearer minds also realized that a down-and-out wandering knight had no ability to challenge the Viscount.

"My Lord is merciful. Not only will he not pursue the mistakes you made, but he will also treat you according to the policy he established before."

Wilson's words put their minds at ease. At the same time, some of them began to resent Kudore for causing such trouble.

Wilson let the injured assistant go back to rest and continued to work with several other assistants.

"Continue to register now. I will complete your assignments in the next two days, and then someone will take you to your respective towns."

After hearing this arrangement, Rognar, who was guarding nearby, thought about it carefully and roughly understood the lord's purpose.

If they are split up and weakened, this group of people will be easier to manage.

Rognar once again experienced the lord's way of doing things, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He had always simply regarded bringing people to Wubei Territory as an escort mission and had never expected that these people would have such thoughts.

To be honest, he was also at fault in this incident.

Now that I think about it, this group of people did rely on Kudore along the way, and they seemed to be centered around him.

If he was alert enough, he would also tell Roning about this matter.

"I probably didn't think enough. I have to be more careful about things like this next time."

He looked down at the sword that had been sheathed again. He didn't understand why the lord had used his sword to kill Kudorei just now. Was there any ulterior motive? "I guess he's not very satisfied with what I did this time."

In fact, he was just overthinking about using Rogna's sword.

Luo Ning simply felt that using the Flowing Flame Sword to kill Kudore was a bit too much of an honor. (End of this chapter)
