The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 607 It Was an Accident

Everyone was taken aback by the words of this guy who suddenly appeared, and before he spoke, he actually cast [Loud Sound], a spell with the special effect of a loudspeaker, on himself.

In fact, most people didn't understand what he said at all. Only a few experienced people understood the intention of this person. This guy was forcing the refugees to stand in line.

That's right, the former lord Randall Moen was a very cruel guy. If anyone dared to admit his lord status, he would do everything possible to kill him, even killing his family for this.

Randall Morn's cruel methods aroused the dissatisfaction of many local people, which is why the rebel army led by the former lord has been struggling to survive. In essence, they are no better than the invaders from Zhentil Castle.

So many people who knew the inside story looked worriedly at these three uninvited guests who appeared suddenly. Of course, more people turned their attention to William. This is the first real challenge that their new lords will face. .

The banner bearers were very satisfied with the silent reaction of these refugees. The untouchables should accept the rule of the lord like silent lambs, and of course they, the shepherds who helped the lord shepherd the sheep.

He said: "Untouchables! I am the only tax collector appointed by Lord Morne, Alton Bloodfoot! Without the hard work of the Lord Lord's rebel army, you would have been snatched away by the sheriff of Shantis long ago All property and houses, your wives and children and yourselves have long since become slaves of the Zenteese.

Now, it's time for you to pay back the great lord and his rebels!

Before the sun rises tomorrow, you need to pay fifty sets of armor and swords, twenty warriors, forty maids, and food for 500 people!

remember!This is the reward your lords deserve for your valor against the Zhents (the natives call the Zhentil Keepers a disparaging name).

But those who resist and refuse to submit will be severely punished! "

It is not surprising that Alton Bloodfoot Lion opened his mouth wide. He is one of the most trusted men and lackeys of the former lord Randall Morn. He is as famous for his greed as he is cruel.

A voice with little confidence sounded, and said: "But, sir! We have nothing now, the house and property have been washed away by the flood!"

"That's your own problem, it has nothing to do with the lord!" Alton Bloodfoot said angrily, "In this world, death and the lord's taxes are the only things you can't escape!"

His eyes swept over those copper pots, meat, and armor, and he couldn't help feeling a sense of tyranny in his heart.These untouchables dare to lie in front of him, do they think that the deterrent effect of his bloody feet is not enough?
Alton Bloodfeet felt that he would behead at least ten untouchables today and wash their feet with their blood in order to restore his prestige.

He cast his eyes on the big copper pot closest to him. A bald guy was eating there as if no one else was around. This was clearly despising the majesty of Bloodfeet. Alton decided to take this winking guy as his own prestige. The first tool man.

Alton grabbed the banner and rushed forward aggressively.

"Untouchable! Put down the food in your hand, then kneel in front of me and repent to the lord's battle flag!" He said viciously as he ran towards the bald head.

This is a trick commonly used by Randall Moon's men.

If you don’t kneel down, they will kill you as a traitor; when you really kneel down to repent, it means you have a guilty conscience, and you must have done something wrong to the lord, and then you will be punished if it is light, or beheaded if it is serious. Everything depends on the will of the banner bearer.

It's a pity that when a mouse demonstrates against a dragon, the ending is often tragic.

The one with the bald head was William. He seemed indifferent to Alton Bloodfoot's offense, and just ate his stew silently.It's just that when the bloody feet were only four or five steps away from him, he stumbled suddenly for no reason. Alton bloody feet felt that his feet were empty, and he staggered. He fell forward involuntarily, but with the attitude of a dog eating shit He stuck his head in the bottom of the big copper pot.

A raging firewood was burning under the copper pot. Alton Bloodfoot felt like a little mouse plunged into the stove. The pain of the flames burning his hair and flesh made him howl inhumanly. He struggled desperately to get up, but for some reason, it seemed as if a mountain was pressing on his back, and he couldn't break free at all.

While eating the piece of meat, William put one foot against the back of Alton Bloodfoot, and let him howl and struggle in the flames without moving.

When the bloody feet finally stopped struggling, William also swallowed the last mouthful of broth. He glanced around at the refugee representatives who were fleeing in a panic. They were honored to be able to eat in the same pot as the new lord.

Now, these people have all regretted it, and the intestines of regret are green.

No way, anyone who is eating good meat and singing, suddenly sees a big living person being burned alive, and every breath of air is full of the smell of burnt hair and flesh, and he can't eat it. Can't sit still.Most of them couldn't help vomiting, even if there were a few who couldn't bear to vomit out their food, they all looked pale and pale, as if they had no color.

Bloodfoot's two companions were also shocked. None of them felt that Alton Bloodfoot's fall was man-made, thinking that he was just too unlucky. Vision at night is always somewhat affected.

In fact, Lord Morne's rebel army had burned to death the untouchables who disobeyed them more than once. It was too surprising that Bloodfoot would actually burn himself to death.

And the bald guy next to the bloody corpse reacted a little too calmly to this sudden accident.This could not but make the two blood-footed followers feel uneasy.

Grabbing the heel of the bloody foot, once smeared with the blood of innocents, William dragged his corpse from the fire, its head and shoulders still burning with disconcerting flames.He dragged the burning body to two terrified followers and threw it on the ground.

William said calmly: "I am the leader of this refugee camp, William. I can only express my regret for the accident that happened to Alton.

I need you two to send a message to your leader.

I rescued these refugees who had lost their homes, provided them with food, weapons, and armor, not for nothing.

Randall Morton wants to collect taxes from me, so he has to come to me in person to talk about how to repay me for my efforts. "
