It is wishful thinking to expect the nobles to be of one mind with Sundberg and fight to defend Sundberg.
Asking nobles to hold cocktail parties and banquets is always a sure thing. Asking nobles to help defend the city and make contributions to the city is always a sure thing.
Torento is a powerful noble in the city of Sundberg. How could he not know what is going on with those nobles, big and small?
Selfishness is the nature of the nobles, engraved in their bones from birth.
Torento put down the information in his hand, glanced at the other three shepherds who were arguing with each other, and turned his gaze to the city lord.
“That’s enough!”
"Shut up!"
The city lord finally spoke, stopping the three quarreling pastors. Together with Torento, the four of them looked at the city lord, waiting for his decision.
The Byron vampires and Byron blood corpses invaded too quickly, and there was no more time for them to waste.
"I believe you've already felt the power of the Temple. It's trying to stop those filthy, ugly, blood-sucking monsters, but there are too many of them this time. You all know that for some reason, the Temple's power has weakened in recent years, and it may not be able to stop those monsters this time like before."
"If the power of the Temple cannot stop the monster, then we are all in danger."
"For now, we must cooperate with the power of the Temple and find a way to eliminate the zombies and drive away the vampire monsters."
"The power in the city is no longer enough. It's time for the nobles to step in. They've enjoyed it for too long. It's their turn to pay for this city."
"Pass on my orders. Gather the nobles' private soldiers. Let's go to war against the vampire monsters and zombies!"
"If he disobeys, I will personally sacrifice him to the temple!"
The nearly fifty-year-old Lord of Sundberg exuded an aura of power that shocked the four pastors of Torento.
Normally, the city lord is a lazy man who muddles through life, but in times of crisis, he can use his power to overpower others and remain fearless, allowing him to firmly control the city of Sundberg for decades.
The four shepherds stood up and saluted the city lord, saying, "Yes!"
The shepherds quickly left the city lord's mansion, looked at each other, and immediately set off to the homes of the nobles they were familiar with to convey the city lord's orders to them.
Just as the shepherds like Torento had expected, when the nobles heard this, they were shocked and asked, "Why do you want us to send people?"
Why?
Guarding Sundberg is the job of the City Lord's Mansion and the soldiers. What does it have to do with us nobles?
We are nobles, born to enjoy life. You people in the City Lord's Mansion are not doing things right and you want us to bear the burden. This is impossible!
The nobles refused sternly and said that they should be responsible for the safety of the lives of the citizens of Sundberg, and they should fight off the monsters and restore peace to Sundberg.
They speak with great righteousness, but what they actually think in their hearts is probably only known to them.
There was no use in persuading them kindly, so Torento and the others took out the city lord's order.
It's no use talking to you nicely, right? Okay, then just follow my orders.
They relayed the city lord's words to the nobles verbatim, speaking clearly and unambiguously.
Although the city lord is usually easy to talk to and looks weak and can be bullied, when it comes to this kind of situation, he can really be ruthless.
This has been verified by history.
When he just became the city lord, there were many troublemakers among the nobles who completely disobeyed his orders. The city lord endured it until a blood-sucking monster broke into the city and the city lord raised his butcher knife against those troublemakers.
The troublesome nobles were directly beheaded on the charge of betraying the city of Sundberg, and the rest of the family were thrown onto the battlefield in the name of "atonement for their sins by performing meritorious deeds". The city lord said at the time that as long as you fight bravely and survive the battlefield, all your crimes will be forgiven.
A group of tender and delicate noble young masters and young ladies who only knew how to enjoy themselves and would cry bitterly if they cut their fingers, faced with the vicious, bloodthirsty and brutal Byronic vampires, their fate can be imagined.
No one survived!
All died on the battlefield.
That was the first time that the city lord showed his iron-blooded methods to the nobles of Sundburg.
It was not until then that the nobles in Sundberg suddenly realized that the city lord was also of noble origin!
The nobles are all masters of disguise. They will disguise themselves with kindness, goodness, courtesy, etc. to cover up their true faces of selfishness, cold-bloodedness, cruelty...
The city lord has never been a good guy. He is a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity. If he gets the chance, his whole family will die and no one will survive!
When the nobles heard the city lord's order, memories of the past emerged in their minds and they couldn't help but shudder.
Will you obey my orders?
They always feel a little reluctant to obey orders, as their private soldiers are trained with great effort, consuming a lot of manpower and financial resources, and are their reliance.
If they don't listen, the city lord might really come and kill them, take them to the temple and sacrifice them.
Don't think that the city lord can't do it. As I said, he is also a noble and has private soldiers under his command. Moreover, they know that the city lord's private soldiers are the strongest in Sundberg.
The city lord ordered you to tell him earlier!
The nobles were very angry and roared loudly in their hearts.
The power accumulated by the Lord of Sundburg in repeated battles erupted at this moment. No noble dared to say anything nonsense about the Lord's Mansion being responsible for defending Sundburg, and they obediently sent out their private soldiers.
"Wouldn't it be better if we did this earlier? Aren't you afraid of being thrown onto the battlefield to face blood-sucking monsters if you anger the city lord?"
"If we can't stop the blood-sucking monsters, will they not attack the inner city?"
