Chapter 35 35 The First Meeting with the People

Chapter 35 The first meeting with the people of the territory

Ronin stayed on the hillside for a long time. After making sure that the people of Sean had left, he prepared to set off with the team.

Although he successfully survived the crisis, Ronin did not take Sean lightly.

He knew that Sean's desire to covet Shanlin Town would not disappear. Now the other party just chose not to have a direct conflict, which was Baron Leisen's consideration.

When the other party does not have this consideration one day, they will definitely invade on a large scale.

Before this consideration is over, the other party may not target Ronin openly, but it is hard to say whether they will do some small actions in secret.

"Mart, from today on, you put on a mask and change your name."

Mart, who was following Ronin, was in a very complicated mood at the moment.

He was in awe of Ronin, but also afraid of him.

Just in that situation, he was lying on the ground pretending to be a corpse. He couldn't understand how brave the baron in front of him was to perform such a wonderful bluffing scene.

Malte had learned a lot today!

He tore a piece of cloth from the corpse behind him and covered his face with it, and bowed and asked: "Sir, if possible, I would like to ask you to give me a name!"

Ronin raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that this guy would ask him to give him a name.

"Then you can be called Tom."

Malte knelt on one knee respectfully, "Thank you for the name! Malte is a thing of the past. From now on, I am just Tom, your follower!"

Ronin nodded, climbed on the horse, and the team slowly started and walked towards the town.

Macken led several infantrymen on horseback in front, Ronin, Elron, David and others walked in the middle, and behind them were carriages dragging food and corpses.

He did not bury the people in Shanlin Town. After all, most of them had relatives in Shanlin Town. Handing over the bodies to their relatives was also a kind act of Ronin.

In addition, he would tell everyone in Shanlin Town that the political officer Princet took the lead in betraying Wushanbao and was eliminated by him. He would not pursue the crimes of others.

This would also have a deterrent effect.

After all, Princet had been operating here for nine years. Who knows if he still has followers or subordinates in Shanlin Town?

"Tom, is there anyone else in your family?" Ronin asked.

"I... my mother is still alive."

Malte, who turned into Tom, immediately became nervous. In his eyes, Ronin was the one who would kill at will. He was afraid that Ronin would kill his mother like he executed a prisoner, but he didn't dare to lie.

"What does she do?" Ronin asked.

"Sir, my mother, Leah, opened a tailor shop in the town with the little money left by my father, and raised me with the little income."

Roning nodded and said to Chahar: "After we arrive at Shanlin Town, Chahar, you can ask Tom's mother to come to the castle to work."

"Okay, sir!" The servant Chahar Jiang wrote down this matter.

Tom secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately.

The team was not moving fast, but it arrived in the town soon.

Roning finally saw his subjects.

Both men and women had vicissitudes on their faces, as if they had suffered a lot, and their expressions were rather dull.

Perhaps, only the children chasing and playing around the dilapidated long house still retained a little vitality, allowing Roning to laugh.

However, when this group of people saw that the last few cars were full of corpses, and when they saw the blood dripping on the ground and leaving long blood lines, their faces were full of fear, and they hurriedly pulled their children and knelt on the side of the road, not even daring to run.

The closer Ronin walked to the center of town, the more people knelt down.

Finally, on the stinking street, he pulled the reins and stopped.

"Let me introduce myself. I am from Wushan Castle. I am the eldest grandson of Marquis Lulans, the owner of Wushan Territory. From today on, I am the baron of Shanlin Town and your lord!"

Ronin cleared his throat, "Remember your lord's name, Ronin Firestorm!"

The kneeling people looked up at Ronin, and felt that the man sitting on the horse seemed to be glowing all over, making people dare not look directly at him.

Some more knowledgeable free people saw the emblem of the Wushan family on the carriage and knew that Ronin was not lying.

They couldn't help but sigh that after so many years, Wushan Territory finally had a real master, and this time it was not a pioneer knight, nor a new baron, but a direct descendant of the Wushan family!

Ronin pulled the reins and came to the last few carriages, and his tone changed from the previous calmness.

"Prince, the former political officer of Shanlin Town, betrayed Wushan Castle, Shanlin Town, and his lord! They have all been executed by my knights!"

The people who dared to look up at Ronin just now just glanced at the corpse and lowered their heads.

"I never show mercy to betrayers!"

Ronin laughed, and his voice sounded cold to the people in the territory. "My mercy will only be shown to those who are loyal to me!"

The sound of horse hooves was crisp, and so many people kneeling on the street dared not breathe, but some people couldn't help crying.

Ronin looked over, and they should be the families of the betrayers.

When they saw Ronin's eyes, they lowered their heads in panic, not knowing what to do.

"I believe that betrayal is just their personal behavior, and it does not involve their families."

Ronin didn't want to continue talking in such an environment, "Any of you who are their family members can come up and take away their bodies. As long as you are loyal to Shanlin Town and loyal to me in the future, I will not hold you responsible for anything."

After that, Ronin instructed his followers: "David, you take two guards here to guard the carriage and let their families take away the bodies."

At the same time, he whispered, "Remember to obey orders. I have already explained what happened on the mountain to you. You know what to do."

"Understood, sir!"

David selected two guards and shouted loudly: "Lord, be merciful, you can come up and take away the bodies of your family members!"

No one dared to move.

Ronin knew that he was here, and they didn't have the courage, "Let's go, Tom, take me to the castle of Shanlin Town."

"Okay, sir!"

The castle of Shanlin Town is located on the hill in the northeast corner of the town. It was built by the first baron more than ten years ago and was renovated and rebuilt by Princet a few years ago.

Ronin thought the castle would be very simple, but when he walked outside the castle, he found that it was not the case.

Except for the small area, the structure has all the necessary buildings, such as inner and outer castles, city walls, gatehouses, and watchtowers.

Princet showed that he hated the nobles very much, but his life was no different from that of the nobles.

At this moment, the guards of the castle came out in full force, and Ronin and his party walked in without any obstacles.

After entering the Shanlin Castle, under the leadership of Tom, the guards arrested all the housekeepers and servants of the castle.

Ronin walked straight to the fortress made of discarded stones, which looked very solid, and sat on the "throne" above.

He thought of Rulans in Wushan Fortress that day.

The other party sat quietly on the high seat without saying a word, but whether it was Wiggins or the golden lion of the Hyde family, they all submitted to Rulans.

"The weak screamed, but no one cared; the strong whispered, but it was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!"

Looking at the servants of Shanlin Castle who were captured one after another and knelt below, for a moment Ronin felt the pleasure of being a strong man.

This feeling is really fascinating.
