It was precisely because he saw the soldiers' guilt and intolerance for the death of Paoze that William made a temporary remedy.
First, the crimes of the rebellious soldiers must be erased to reassure them.
Then, he approved their cannibalistic behavior in a general sense to appease their feelings.
Secondly, let them vent their suppressed emotions with their sharp tongue.
Once again, all the blame is put on Kelly Ford. The so-called love to hate is the most determined.
As long as they completely confirm Kellyford's guilt, not only will the consequences of the beheading operation be eliminated from the source, but it will also give them firm support for William. This support may not be directed at Black Rock Castle, but at William alone.
In this regard, he was happy to see the success.
Of course, there is one last thing, which is the eternal monetary reward.
"Let's wait for two days, let them slow down and let their emotions fully ferment."
In the end, statistics showed that 2,351 soldiers survived, of which more than 400 were seriously injured.
This casualty rate is already quite high. The reason for this is also related to the battlefield environment, which is confined to a camp, just like a gladiatorial arena.
Treat the wounded and gather the soldiers.
When Califord was escorted out of the meeting hall, he was greeted by the hateful eyes of the soldiers.
Seeing this situation, he did not struggle anymore, but just lowered his head in despair.
After all, the lord's chess is superior.
Perhaps the outcome was determined when the sword was danced under the moon that night.
…
The next day, Fenghuo City ushered in a new day, and the civilians were talking a lot on the streets.
Those who were bold enough to go to the edge of the garrison camp and take a peek saw the flaming ruins and carnage wreckage, which made people shudder.
They heard new news, that is, the lord defeated the rebellion and Black Rock Castle regained control of the Barron Territory.
The specific details are unknown.
Because Pisius hasn't figured out how to polish it yet.
After reading the guard's record of what happened that night, he felt that it might be an epic story without any modifications.
"Seventeenth Prince, Seventeenth Prince...no, Lord Lord..."
"It seems that everyone in the capital has ignored you. It's really terrifying to be so forbearing."
The thought flashed through his mind and Pisius put down the record.
Put on a solemn coat and go to Black Rock Castle.
Today, Black Rock Castle will hold a significant meeting. As the second administrator, he must maintain etiquette.
Walk slowly, without any guards following you.
Walking through the busy streets, as expected, I saw a few thefts.
This time he did not stop him verbally, but secretly made a note that he would need to focus on governance in future administration.
The common people looked at the luxuriously dressed Pytheus and did not dare to offend him, while the thieves also suppressed their desire to make a fortune.
No one knew his identity, let alone that he was the second administrator of the territory.
Gradually approaching the Black Rock Castle, the first thing that appeared in my eyes was the towering thorn wall from a distance.
Heavy, solemn, solemn...
There is bustling noise outside the thorn wall, but inside the wall, it is very quiet.
Looking up at the high wall,
He saw the completely black Black Rock Castle inside the wall, where the lord lived.
Next to the Black Rock Castle, there used to be no buildings, but now, a section of the all-white dome is exposed.
"I heard it's 33 meters high. It's really spectacular."
"The Hall of Justice, I don't know what the lord's arrangements are for it. Knight canonization? Viewing platform?..."
Beside the gate of the High Thorn Wall, two teams of 3 soldiers each were on guard.
Pytheus approached, and the soldiers immediately let him go.
Seeing their unsmiling expressions and rigorous style, Pisius nodded secretly.
In the past, these soldiers were not so dedicated. Even if Scott rectified the situation, he could not immediately eradicate the frivolity of the soldiers.
But after what happened last night, the wind of vanity was swept away.
Before entering the meeting hall of Black Rock Castle, someone called from behind. Looking back, it was Grand Knight Guland.
"Director Guland, good morning."
"Good morning, Mr. Picheus."
Seeing Gu Lande's face looking a little tired, Pisius asked curiously: "There were twists and turns in the operation last night?"
"That's not true."
With a forced smile, Guland said: "Byrne and Pelodon are very arrogant, thinking that since Calif is in control of the garrison, the lord will not touch them, it is really ridiculous.
I first made a lightning raid on Byrne Manor and captured them all without letting anyone escape.
Then we rushed to the Peloton Manor, the other party was a little wary, but his escort was also vulnerable."
Vulnerable?
Pisius nodded in agreement, but murmured in his heart:
You also don’t think about your own strength and the strength of the other party.
Ordinary people are like little sheep in front of knights, but knights are even worse than little sheep in front of great knights...
"Since everything is going well, why do you seem so tired?"
"I can't help it, I stayed up all night."
Before Pisius could ask, Guland blurted out:
"The lord asked me to capture some important rebels, but Peloton's men support him, and some of them refuse to obey even to the death."
"In order to find traitors who are willing to cooperate with me, I have to select them one by one... This process is too time-consuming."
Pisius nodded in understanding.
It's good if it succeeds.
But what he didn't know was that behind Gulande's understatement, there were heads rolling like hell.
Califord controls the garrison, Tripp controls the Sheriff's Department, and Byrne and Pelodon control most of the administrative affairs and wealth of the Barren Territory.
Not to mention how many brothers and sisters their family has, there are also a lot of knights they recruit.
Last night, Guland charged forward and just completed the mission with the strength of the great knight.
Guland thought he would hear good news.
The result was shocking news.
Why was Califord directly captured alive? How come the 3,000-man garrison was directly taken over by William?
While secretly scolding Kelly Ford for his uselessness, Gulland could not sleep all night.
If this situation continues, not to mention avenging Saint Grey, even the second prince's mission will not be completed.
"No, we must get the latest instructions from the second prince as soon as possible..."
So, last night, a dove flew away from Fenghuo City.
The two of them walked thoughtfully through the stone path surrounded by green plants and entered the castle.
There are also soldiers patrolling and guarding here, but these people are not locals of the Baron Territory, but knights brought from the royal capital.
We sat down in the hall and the maid served tea and snacks.
Pisius skillfully found a book from the bookshelf to read, and Guland also poured himself some tea.
From the royal capital to the Barren Territory, several core figures were familiar with William's style of conduct.
He doesn't pay attention to strict etiquette, and is very gentle in dealing with others. Only in special circumstances will he get angry.
When treating Pisius and others, he is not condescending like most lords, but is more approachable.
I have to say that Guland really likes this.
When the idea first came to him, Guland was suddenly stunned.
Damn it, how could I have such an idea!
So he stopped drinking tea and sat still with a serious look on his face.
