Chapter 228 Split Weakened

The sudden change shocked everyone.

The newly arrived residents originally expected Kudorei to serve as the guard officer of Wubei Territory, so that they would have someone to rely on in the future.

But they never expected that the lord who was relaxed and calm one second would be violent and murderous the next second without any warning.

Kudorei looked at the separated corpses on the ground. He was a professional knight close to the advanced level. Why did he die in an instant without even the slightest ability to resist?

When they thought about their plan with Kudorei, they felt cold for a moment.

Some timid ones just collapsed on the ground, so scared that their crotches were wet with urine and feces;

Some people just stayed in place, unable to react for a while and at a loss;

Some people felt the fear and knelt on the ground begging the lord for forgiveness.

On the other hand, Wilson and others were shocked and then felt happy.

Just to put it bluntly, how could the lord let a foreign mid-level knight serve as the guard officer of Wubei Territory?

A person like Kudorei is not worthy of being a deputy to McCann.

"If you challenge your authority, you will die!"

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

For Luo Ning, if Kuduore simply had a conflict with Wilson and others and injured them, it would not be a crime worthy of death.

After inflicting punishment and setting an example, maybe it can still be used by him.

But the other party has too many things on his mind.

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

If Luo Ning takes a step back today and lets the other side go, what will happen if this group of people does this again in the future?

Anthony is right, Wubei Territory is indeed short of people, and it is even more short of available knights.

Luo Ning also welcomes outsiders to join, but he also has a bottom line. People like Kudorei are not among his welcome.

"What I am willing to give is yours, and what I am not prepared to give you should not come up with any crooked ideas."

Luo Ning's voice was mixed with the knight's fighting spirit, loud and majestic, causing the chaotic crowd begging for mercy to shut their mouths, and one or two people fell silent.

"I understand what you are thinking. It's just that we are all making trouble together. It would be best if we can get more farmland. It doesn't matter if we don't get it. Is it possible that I will kill you all?"

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

Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

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

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

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

Ronin stopped lingering and turned to leave: "Rogner, you stay to maintain order. Wilson, follow me."

"Okay sir!"

Wilson followed Ronin cautiously. He didn't know why the lord asked him to come here alone. Wasn't it because he wanted to punish him for doing something bad?

The more he thought this, the more panicked he became.

Although he was very relieved that the Lord killed Kudorei, he was filled with fear when he thought that the Lord could kill an intermediate knight in just one breath.

The benevolent lord also has a ruthless side.

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

After leaving the crowd, Luo Ning said as he walked.

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

Wilson nodded thoughtfully, and he probably understood the lord's intention.

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

Although there is no threat to Shanlin Fort, the unrest in the territory will greatly affect the development arrangements of the adults, and the management of Wilson will also increase the difficulty.

But if this group of people is broken up and each town has a little bit, it will be much easier to manage.

"I understand, sir."

Wilson thought for a while and asked: "If we are a family, do we need to break it up?"

"Forget it as a family."

Luo Ning is not yet willing to split up the family as a unit. There is no benefit in such a split.

"After McCann returns to the territory, communicate with them. When a large number of outsiders enter the territory in the future, let the knight squad arrange cavalry, infantry and professional knights to the scene to maintain order. In a situation like today, it is an attack on the lord's mansion. s face!"

"yes!"

Wilson lowered his head, feeling very anxious, "My subordinates will definitely make arrangements in the future!"

"I can rest assured when you do things, but sometimes you need to make more plans."

Ronin's tone softened.

"You are in charge of government affairs, and McCann is in charge of defense. Although they belong to different departments, they still need to cooperate on some things. After all, maintaining order is also one of the territorial defenses."

Wilson leaned forward, "You are right, I understand."

Luo Ning waved his hand, asking the other party to step back and continue the work of settling the freedmen, and he returned to Hillwood Castle.

“With so many people in the territory, it is imperative to introduce basic regulations.”

Before dealing with Kudore, Ronin had thought about how to punish him if he didn't kill him.

The kingdom has laws, but he has no idea what the laws are.

Others in the territory don't know either.

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

According to the needs, legal provisions suitable for Wubei Territory should be formulated. When problems arise, there is something to refer to, so that there is a law to follow when punishing.

When Wilson returned to the Western Square, none of the free people who came from Baron Kona's territory left, even those who had just stated their support for Kudore lowered their heads and did not leave.

First, they will have nowhere to go if they leave Shanlin Town. Ronin is willing to give them farmland and provide a light tax policy, which other territories do not have;

Second, if they leave now, they will definitely not be able to get out of this 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 that they would die, but if they didn't leave, they might still be alive, so they all stayed.

If they had known that this would be the result, they would not have listened to Kudore's call and unified their voices one day.

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

"The Lord is kind. Not only will he not pursue the mistakes you made, but he will also treat you according to the policy set before."

Wilson's words put their hanging hearts at ease, and at the same time, some of them began to resent Kudore for making such a scene out of nothing.

Wilson asked the injured assistant to go back and rest, and took the other assistants to continue working.

"Continue to register now. I will complete your assignment in the next two days. Someone will take you to your respective towns."

After hearing this arrangement, Rogna, who was guarding on the side, thought carefully and roughly understood the lord's purpose.

Split and weaken, this group of people will be easier to manage.

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

He has always simply regarded bringing people to Wubei Territory as an escort mission, and never expected that this group of people would have such thoughts.

This turmoil, to be honest, also has his mistakes.

Now that I think about it, this group of people did rely on Kudore a little along the way, and they had a vague intention of centering on him.

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

"Or I didn't think enough. I have to be careful about such things in the future."

He looked down at the sword that was sheathed again. He didn't understand why the lord used his sword to kill Kudore just now. Is there any intention in it?

"I guess he's not very satisfied with what I did this time."

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

Ronin simply thought that using the Flowing Flame Sword to kill Kudore was a bit too much of a compliment. (End of this chapter)
