Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 95
After successfully rescuing hundreds of captives from the Igor family, Xia Houyan was in the square of the Moon God Village, and he was chatting with his subjects for a while, which clearly showed his love for the people as a lord. ——

Of course, the lord, who has been poor and scared these days, shakes hands with people over and over again, and what he has been thinking about is:
This time, my mother made a lot of money!

Different from the team he originally led, which was dominated by tenant farmers and suffered heavy casualties in the infected area, the migration team under Katarina not only had talents like Aaron Cousins, but also a large number of people from The capable craftsmen recruited by Eagle's Rest Castle, the guard team with considerable fighting ability, and even the little apprentice Wilson of Master Laurie!
Not to mention that these group of craftsmen and guards are the construction and military talents that Shuangfengling urgently needs at present, but at the age of sixteen or seventeen, when he saw the Lord, he hugged him and wept bitterly, wiping the snot and tears of the Lord. Wilson, even though he is still a little naive and juvenile, is already a genuine second-order junior magician!

His return means that the magical power of Shuangfengling will increase from two people including Master Laurie and Xia Houyan to three people, and the growth rate has reached a terrifying 50%!

What's more, the harvest of Shuangfengling is more than these captured subjects?
Since the Moon God Village has been incorporated as the Chief Suppression Officer, then Xiahou Yan will of course drain the last remaining value of this thief village!
As Master Laurie has analyzed before, because winter is approaching, most of the thieves in the land of split souls have packed up their harvests for the past year and huddled in the mountains for the winter - and Moon God Village is of course no exception!

In the material warehouse of this cottage, there are still grains, tools and other materials that are full of pits!
The high official Xiahou was not polite at all, he packed up the savings of Yueshen Village and packed a few trucks to be transported back to Shuangfengling, which was considered a solid snatch from the bandits.

And when Katarina was worried that the plundering of the lord was too cruel, and the remaining food might not be enough for the winter in the Moon God Village, the lord's answer was very simple:
"My good sister, they are now the 'suppression chief' of the land of split souls! If there is not enough food for the winter, let them go to other cottages to grab it - if they win, they will be happy to get the food back; If you lose, can you save your consumption if you die?"

The lord's cruel attitude towards the bandits made Katarina frown, but she did not refute in the end.

As long as her younger brother's own personal safety can be guaranteed, Miss Katerina, who has always been gentle and indifferent, is naturally unwilling to put a beak on the overall operation policy of the territory——

Rather, Katarina looked at her brother's calm attitude in commanding the collection of supplies, but she felt like an old mother in her heart, and the relief and emotion that "this little guy is finally grown up and capable" emerged.

After the materials to be transported back to Shuangfengling were loaded and ready to stop outside the gate of Yueshenzhai, Xia Houyan specially asked Master Cousins ​​to select a few more capable and reliable guys from the bandits, ready to bring back to Shuangfengling, Charge into the military group is under the jurisdiction of Alice and Clement.

——Although most of the thieves in Moon God Village obey Karen's words, the interior is definitely not monolithic;
As for the group of bandits temporarily brought under his subordinates, although Xia Houyan's most direct idea was to let them all go and die, but the political means of dividing a group, suppressing a group, and attracting a group, sometimes it is necessary to play.

If a few thieves really proved their worth and loyalty, the Xiahou officials would not mind taking them as subjects of Shuangfengling. In the early days of the construction of the territory, capable people were as scarce as supplies.

As for the last thing the lord had to deal with before leading the team to leave the Moon God Fortress, it was Karen Lepage, who was turned into a zombie and stood silently in the process of their search.

Skeletons temporarily resurrected by necromancy will be governed by the will of the necromancer no matter how far apart they are;

But for zombies, the ghostly magic of corpse control can only guarantee that when Xia Houyan is present, the female village owner will obey him, but it cannot guarantee that Karen will continue to remain loyal after he leaves Moon God Village.

Therefore, Xiahou Yan wanted to instill a few principles in her mind about Karen's future behavior when the corpse control technique was still in effect and the ghostly magic was entangled in her hands.

With the help of certain necromantic spells, these guidelines will be firmly branded in Karen Lepage's mind like Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics, and she must abide by even if the Xiahou official leaves .

It is in this way that the necromancers in history do not need to maintain uncomfortable corpse control all the time, and can also enjoy the loyal service of necromancers!

In order to avoid taking advantage of loopholes and deliberately misinterpreting, the extremely stable Lord Lord specially prepared a set of extremely long and complicated code of conduct for Karen, including the action strategy after encountering various emergencies when "suppressing bandits", and the necessary A series of confidentiality clauses such as keeping your zombie identity secret from others...

As a result, the entire "Zombie Code of Conduct" is a bit more complicated than the contract signed by the author of the online article and some unscrupulous platforms.

After dealing with these complicated matters, Xia Houyan sat side by side in the carriage with Katerina, and set off on the return journey with a convoy full of harvests.

——It is worth mentioning that since many of the original carriages of the Catalina Migration Team have been damaged, many of the newly added vehicles in this team are also free from the Moon God Village...

Today's Moon God Village looks like the Rongguo Mansion that received thousands of Grandma Liu in just one day. From the original rich people, it was stunned by the Xiahou high official who beat the autumn wind into a low-income household.

The convoy of the Igor family drifted away under the protection of three hundred skeleton soldiers;
The Moon God Village also slowly shrank in everyone's field of vision, and eventually turned into a small dot in the wind and sand of the wasteland.

Katerina Igor, who was sitting side by side with Xiahouyan on the carriage, looked back at the place where she had been imprisoned for dozens of days, tilted her head and hugged her brother's arm, and sighed faintly.

"What's wrong?" The Lord Lord stretched out his other hand and patted the top of his sister's head, and asked with a smile, "You still can't bear the Moon God Village?"

"It's not that I can't bear it..." Katarina gave her brother a reproachful glance, "It's just... it's just that I always feel sorry for the master of Karen... She has always been kind to me..."

Xia Houyan rolled his eyes: If I want to soak you, can I treat you badly?
"Why can't the matter be resolved peacefully?" Katarina bit her lip and shook her head, "The lord Karen has turned into a zombie, a lot of people in the Moon God Village have died, and you were almost shot by a crossbow, Elliot. Shoot to death...why can't everyone just sit down and have a good talk..."

"Okay, my good sister, I have skeleton bodyguards, and the Annihilation Arrow is eight feet away from me..." Xia Houyan pouted, "As for the 'peaceful settlement' or something... elder sister, in fact, you have been pushing for it all the time. The Knight Commander of Cousins, who negotiated, has forgotten one thing-a thing that will never make peace between me and Lord Karen."

"What's the matter?" Katerina opened her eyes wide and stared at her brother blankly.

"This is the land of broken souls, this is the wasteland." Lord Lord sighed, "I want to save you, and the master of Karen has caught you; she wants money, I have no money, it's that simple. The land of broken souls It’s not the Eagle’s Rest Castle, where everyone compliments and compliments them politely, nor is it the imperial capital’s aristocratic circle that can run amok in all directions by virtue of their appearance, blood and title – here, only the victors have the right to speak.”

"So what?" Katarina pursed her lips.

"So I..." Xia Houyan patted her on the forehead lightly, "...No, 'we' want to be the victors. We Igor family, we Shuangfengling, must become the leader of this land of split souls. dominate."

Katarina was silent for a moment, without speaking.

After a long time, she buried her head in the sleeve of the lord and whispered:
"Elliott, this kind of life is so tiring... I miss my father so much, I miss my mother so much... I miss my home so much..."

The lord was also silent for a while, and then he pointed his finger in the direction of Shuangfengling, bowed his head and said softly:

"Katrina, we're going home soon."

Katarina gave a soft "um", then suddenly raised her head, like the most vigilant security inspector, staring at the lord who was driving, her eyes fixed.

Xia Houyan suddenly felt guilty.

Katarina's eyes were as gentle and stern as the sea of ​​salt, as if there was a magic power that made him want to cry and admit his mistake like a child who was caught by his parents and stole the TV.

- But what the hell did my mother do?

No, no...?

Then, he heard Katerina ask suspiciously:
"Elliot, tell me honestly, did you take action on sister Alice? I think the way she looks at you doesn't seem right?"

Looking down at his own sister with a suspicious face, the lord shook the reins and forced a smile—

He smiled coldly.
