Chapter 351 Chaos in the Territory



On the road, Roning rode his warhorse and arrived at Sanfang Town accompanied by Wilson.

This town, which was formed by the merger of the original Qingzhu Village, Ziguo Village and Huitu Village, now has a population of more than 12,000 people.

Among them, foreign population accounts for nearly 92%.

"Knight Horn was originally focused on sericulture affairs, but faced with conflicts that broke out one after another, he had to lead the team to deal with them. Later, when Master Mage Elrond found out, he asked Knight Rig to lead the troops to garrison in the Gray Earth Village."

Luo Ning frowned slightly.

Faced with the surging population, the number of guards in the territory failed to keep up, so it was normal for a period of chaos to occur.

However, the chaos was limited to the lower levels. Not to mention the noble Ronin, even ordinary professional knights like Zhu Weite were unlikely to be affected.

“What are they fighting about?”

Luo Ning asked: "Steal food? Steal shelter?"

“Many skirmishes are like this.”

Wilson said: "But there was a large conflict involving hundreds of people because two groups formed factions and fought for territory."

Luo Ning found it a little difficult to understand.

The entire Wubei Territory belongs to him, what territory are these people fighting for? Moreover, they organized a large-scale conflict involving hundreds of people, so there must be bloodshed.

He became interested. "Tell me more about this conflict."

After Wilson's introduction, Roning understood what had happened.

First of all, this group of people were all from Wigginsnapo. After interrogation, it was discovered that the leader of the riot was a criminal serving his sentence in prison.

After arriving in Wubei, they found that the officials here were easy to talk to and didn't care much as long as the work was done, so they began to "recruit younger brothers".

As they had more subordinates, they used threats and intimidation to obtain more comfortable and spacious accommodation, and even took over women.

Finally, the two groups couldn't stand each other anymore and a conflict broke out, which made Horn and others react.

Although this incident was quickly suppressed, Elrond did not execute the ringleaders. Instead, after they were whipped, he separated them and assigned them to other towns for special supervision.

"As expected of a great physician of the light attribute."

Ronin sighed: "Elrond is still too kind."

"During your absence, Master Elrond saved many lives. Some were injured and dying while clearing the land, and some were women who had difficulty giving birth. Everyone loves him very much."

"Saving people is a good thing, but being kind to the wicked is being cruel to the ordinary people who are law-abiding."

As they were talking, they arrived at the square of Huitu Village and could see a group of people training from afar.

As the location of the kaolin mine, this place has the largest labor force in Sanfang Town, so its defense is also the most important.

"My lord, that is Knight Reg Hodge. He and Sim are training the guards of Graydus Village together."

Wilson was pointing at a middle-aged man with short brown hair, a tall and sturdy build, and a weathered look on his face.

It is said that the other party's ancestor was an honorary knight who was canonized, but now he has fallen on hard times.

Roning dismounted and walked over. As one of the few bronze knights in the territory, he came here specially to meet him.

"Reg Hodge."

The sudden shout interrupted people's training.

The weathered middle-aged knight turned around, wondering who was calling his name, but when he saw Ronin, he did not recognize the face.

At this moment, Sim shouted excitedly: "My lord, you are back!"

At this time, Rig noticed Ronin's hair color, and came forward with some excitement, but very reservedly, "Sir, please give me your orders."

He came to Wubei Territory because he heard that there was a shortage of people here and thought that there was an opportunity to serve his family and bring glory to his family.

But he was in poverty in middle age, and when facing the nobles, he was not as calm as people like Rees and Yusuf.

Luo Ning glanced at the thirty or forty guards nearby and asked, "How is the training going?"

"According to Sim's suggestion, we are using the method you used to train the discipline of these guards, and the progress is quite good."

Sim added: "We practice discipline in the morning and close combat and sword fighting in the afternoon."

Roning nodded and motioned for the two to lead the team to demonstrate.

Not only Rig and Sim, but everyone was nervous when they were raided by the Lord. It's normal to make mistakes when you're nervous.

Then he tested Rig's strength again.

How to say it, although he is a bronze knight, his combat level is not high, at least much weaker than Galil.

"While training, don't fall behind in your own cultivation." Luo Ning reminded.

Rig felt a little bitter. In the previous battle, he did not use his full strength, on the one hand because he was nervous about the lord, and on the other hand he was afraid of hurting the lord.

But he didn't expect that Roning would crush him so easily. It turned out that the rumors from the outside world were true and not exaggerated at all.

Luo Ning didn't know about this, so he just gave him some encouragement, and then said, "I heard from Wilson that the leader of the last riot is still under surveillance in Huitu Village."

"Yes, sir. They are now assigned to the mining area to mine. We will monitor them every day. If there are any unusual movements again, they will be discovered immediately."

"Come on, take me to see it."

Under the leadership of Rig and Sim, Ronin came to the kaolin mine.

Nowadays, there are a lot of people working here. After all, there are many steps in making porcelain, and the first two processes of mining and refining mud are very time-consuming and laborious.

At this time in the mine, most people were working, and only a small number of people were sitting and resting.

Ronin did not exploit the workers like the Polante bandit gang did. He focused on sustainability and did not overfish.

These workers are allowed to take adequate rest as long as they can complete the day's work.

Perhaps it was an inopportune moment, or perhaps it was the right time, as the two groups of people who were resting were pushing each other, attracting quite a few onlookers.

However, they had all more or less heard of the names and backgrounds of the troublemakers, and no one stepped forward to stop them.

When Rig and Sim, who had rushed over, saw this scene, their faces turned pale with anger.

Just now they had assured that nothing would go wrong, but they didn't expect something to happen so soon, and they were bumped into by the lord himself.

"Jerem, Moore!"

Riger shouted loudly and sent out a fighting spirit shock wave, directly dispersing the two groups of people.

"What are you doing?"

The people who were scattered got up in a panic, trembling and without any arrogance at all.

They have two different faces when facing ordinary people and when facing knights or officials in the territory.

"grown ups!"

Rig and Sim looked at Ronin with difficulty, but did not see much anger on the latter's face.

Ronin laughed coldly, "This is what they call a dog that can't change its eating habits. Elrond gave you a chance to mend your ways, but unfortunately you didn't take it."

Jerome and Moore both quietly looked up at the young man in front of them.

They didn't know Roning, but from hearing this sentence and observing Rig's attitude, they knew that this young man was not ordinary.

Wilson, who was standing by, had already understood what Ronin meant. "Sir, are you going to kill them?"

"Organizing and gathering a crowd to fight and causing multiple deaths is a crime of intentional homicide. For such a serious crime, the organizers and main participants should be punished by death."

Luo Ning said this lightly, then shook his head and left the mine with a little regret.

It’s hard to handle when there are too many people.

"Mr. Wilson, what does your Excellency mean?"

Rig looked at Roning's departing back. He had never killed anyone since he joined the Wubei Territory, so he had some concerns when it came to these things.

"Your Excellency has made it very clear that the two people who led the riot and caused the bloodshed and death of many people should be executed."

He glanced at Jerome and Moore. The two of them certainly did not seize the opportunity given by the Master Mage.

"good!"

Rig took a deep breath.

Only then did he realize that this young lord, who looked so kind, was actually a man who would kill people without even a word.

He drew his sword and walked towards Jerome and Moore. The two men realized that death was approaching and knelt on the ground begging for forgiveness, just like last time.

Unfortunately, this time the punishment was personally decided by the Lord, and no one can do anything about it. (End of this chapter)
