Chapter 184： Suppression and temptation

In Songlin Town, the rebellion has not yet completely subsided.

But under the suppression of the Lombard family army, the arrogance of the rebels has been completely suppressed. According to this trend, it is estimated that it will not be long before this rebellion will be completely put down.

Some rebellious civilians also saw that the situation was not good. Seeing that they were no match for the Lombard family's army, they rushed towards the city gate, preparing to flee Songlin Town with the property and food looted overnight.

The Lombard family army saw this, but did not stop them. They are now insufficiently armed. Their first task is to stabilize the situation in the town. Those who fled from the rebels can hardly take care of it, and these people can reduce their pressure after they fled.

But when the rebels successfully opened the gate of Zhendong and were about to rush out, they suddenly heard the sound of a low horn coming from a distance.

Then the thunderous sound of horses' hoofs trembled the ground of Pine Forest Town, and the black and oppressive cavalry army instantly filled the wilderness outside the town.

Those rebels had never seen such a magnificent cavalry charge, and they were so scared that they fled back to the town. It seems that compared with the vicious cavalry, the Lombard family's army is a group of harmless little sheep. .

"The Black Cavalry is ordered by Viscount Angley to come and assist in countering the rebellion!"

The Logger Knight rushed outside Pinewood Town screamed, and regardless of whether the Lombard family was willing to accept their assistance, they directly led the black and oppressive cavalry force and rushed into the town with sharp arrows.

The situation that followed was naturally good.

Even the army of the Lombard family could not fight against the rebels. At this time, facing the more terrifying black cavalry, they had no choice but to kneel and surrender.

But the arrival of the Black Cavalry made the Lombard family worried.

They didn't believe that the black cavalry would come so kindly to help them calm the chaos.

Moreover, the timing of the Black Cavalry's arrival was too coincidental.

Just as Baron Lombard was assassinated in Ice Rock City, it was full of coincidences.

But once there are too many coincidences, it is hard to believe that this is not a conspiracy planned by someone with a heart.

When Ke Lin entered Pinewood Town, the rebellion in the town had basically subsided.

Everyone in the Lombard family ushered the powerful young viscount into their castle with anxiety.

"My Lord Viscount, thank you for your helping hand this time. The Lombard family will always be grateful." White carefully followed Colin and thanked him respectfully.

Those black cavalry like wolves and tigers made him feel a strong threat, so even though he was full of doubts about the Viscount Anglia, White did not dare to show it.

"Knight White, don't be so polite! I also have the responsibility of failing to protect your father's death. Therefore, this time helping to quell the chaos is also my apology to the Lombard family."

Colin was polite, but after entering the castle hall, he did his part to take the lead.

White's mouth twitched, but he didn't dare to say much.

The butler of the Lombard family on the side cautiously tentatively said: "My lord, I wonder how many days you are going to stay in Pinewood Town? We can arrange a reception for you."

"No need to arrange anything specially." Colin smiled and waved his hand. "I'll leave today."

White's eyes lit up and suddenly felt that he might have misunderstood the Viscount Anglia.

But in the next second, he immediately dismissed this naive idea, because Colin continued:

"However, the Logger Knights will stay, and the Black Cavalry will also keep part of it to prevent another rebellion in Pinewood Town."

"Master Viscount, we appreciate your kindness, but it is the responsibility of the Lombard family to guard Pinewood Town, and we are able to take it on our own without you..."

"Knight White," Colin interrupted White's evasion. "You are not the Lord of Pinewood Town yet, are you?"

"I... really am not..."

Although White is the eldest son of Baron Lombard and the first heir to the baronial title, he cannot be regarded as the lord of Pinewood, strictly speaking, until he is granted the title of the Duke of St. Hild.

Colin spread his hands together and said: "So, your first task now is to go to Wintery City to accept the canonization of the Duke of the North, not to talk to me here and say that you have the ability to protect Pinewood Town.

I am not questioning your abilities, but your qualifications! "

White opened his mouth and just wanted to explain, but Colin didn't give him this opportunity at all, and once again said aggressively:

"Furthermore, Knight White, if I hadn't led the army to help the Lombard family quell the chaos this time, it wouldn't be certain whether you can hold onto Pinewood Town!

According to the rule of lords, if you lose Songlin Town, what qualifications do you have to inherit your father's title? "

Now White couldn't help it anymore, and loudly defended: "My Lord Viscount! You can't question the ability of the Lombard family like this! Even without the help of the Black Cavalry, we can defend Pinewood Town! As for whether I am eligible to inherit the Baron The position, that will also be decided by the Duke of the North!"

Colin smiled and waved his hand, signalling White not to be excited, and said calmly: "That's why I said, your first task now is to go to Wintery City to meet the Lord Duke. Don't worry, I have no intention of competing with the Lombard family for Pinewood Town. Attribution."

"Since you have no intention of occupying Pinewood Town, please take your army away."

"Knight White, you are too careful. The reason why I left the army is to help you defend Pinewood Town. Don't be too busy to refuse! Don't you need the family army to **** you to Winter City? You know, now The northern border of China is not very peaceful.

With the family army taken away, don't you worry about the resurgence of the rebellion in Pinewood Town? "

White was speechless, and seemed to feel that what Colin was saying was somewhat reasonable.

Seeing this, the old butler of the Lombard family quickly stood up and said: "My Lord Viscount, thank you for your kindness. But our Lombard family does not want to owe too much favor, so we'd better sign an agreement and confirm your assistance. Guard the conditions and rewards of Songlin Town."

Only then did White react and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes! Lord Viscount, let's sign an agreement."

Colin laughed in his heart and saw through the Lombard family's plan at a glance.

They wanted to put all the conditions for the garrison’s defense on paper. In this way, it would be hard for Colin to blatantly map Songlin Town However, what the Lombard family didn’t know was, Colin. There was no intention to occupy this small town.

"Yes. However, as a reward for sending troops to quell the chaos and for the subsequent assistance in maintaining stability, I need ten years of logging rights in the northern forest district of Songlin Town."

"Ten years?" White exclaimed and shook his head again and again, "It's too long, Master Viscount, I will give you logging rights for up to three years!"

The Zhenbei Forest District of Songlin Town can be said to be the cash cow of the Lombar family. The red pine trees produced there can not only be used as excellent construction wood, but also a kind of pine resin produced, which is also an extremely expensive medicinal material.

"Knight White, before you accept the Duke's canonization and become the lord of Pinewood Town, you are not qualified to bargain with me. The current Pinewood Town, let the Anglia family help you temporarily protect it."

White resisted the humiliation and anger in his heart, and had to bow his head and said, "Okay, then I will trouble you, Lord Viscount. I will set off for Winter City to meet Lord Duke!"

Only then did Colin smile with satisfaction.

Looking through the people of the Lombard family, looking in the direction of Winter City, he secretly said in his heart——

Duke St. Hild, you should come out to meet the guests this time.
