Lord of all tribes

Chapter 206 He is innocent

The winter is gone, and all things are revived.

After all, the snowy land of thousands of miles gradually melted with the passing of the cold winter.

Under the white snow, the unique black land in the northwest of the kingdom began to be gradually exposed.

The land came back to life.

Hard-working farmers have already carried their farm tools to tend the cultivated land with remaining snow, hoping that the crops in the coming year will be better.

This piece of black land is not so barren that there is no hair and grass. On the contrary, the soil here is more suitable for the growth of certain crops.

But because of the unique geographical environment, it is unavoidable that here will be plundered by foreign races every year, and countless crops will be destroyed. The people who have no self-protection ability have worked hard for a year, but in the end it is in vain.

This huge sense of loss can sometimes drive people crazy, so this piece of black land that could have been well tended has since become synonymous with barrenness.

There is no road in this world, and the more people walk, the road will be formed.

In the same way, there is no absolutely barren land in this black land, but there are too many poor and backward people in the northwest of the Dao Kingdom, and this impression has been left in people's subconscious.

Earl Jon, with the support of the housekeeper Barry, crossed the wet Wobe Fortress after the snow melted, and returned to the city of Versilia.

Wanli Xuejiang delayed Earl Jon's return to Versilia City for nearly three months. At this moment, he was finally able to return to Versilia City. This kind of excitement cannot be expressed in words.

When Earl Jon returned to Versilia City, the heavy city gate was open.A few rare figures walked back and forth at the gate of the city.

The white lotus banner of the Hearst family on the city wall has long since been broken, hanging desolately and lonelyly on the city tower.

Earl Jon's face was tense, his eyes scanned up and down the tower several times, and finally entered the city without saying a word.

If it were in the past, when the first snow had just melted, the gate of the city should be full of traffic and crowds!
Count Jon thought to himself, feeling a little sad and desolate in his heart.

The depression and desolation in front of him made it difficult for him to recover for a while. Has the powerful Versilia city in his heart, which shocked the leaders, become what he sees now?
Earl Jon shook off Barry's hands that were supporting him, and he walked through the city gate he had stepped through countless times with a solemn expression.

Inside the city gate, there were still not many civilians at first glance, and the small vendors who used to be the hustle and bustle of the city also disappeared.

If you look carefully, you can still see the dense white bones exposed from time to time on both sides of the street
"You mean our grain and grass are almost half gone? Cough cough cough."

Earl Jon began to cough violently. He never expected that half of the grain piled in the granary would disappear out of thin air after a cold winter?
Of course, the word out of thin air was spoken by Enoch, and Earl Jon naturally didn't believe it. He found the civilians in the city and interrogated the whereabouts of the food with a ferocious attitude. Earl Jon always felt that this matter was different from these These surviving citizens in the territory cannot escape the responsibility.

"It's Viscount Rollin of Garadi." The person who was arrested and interrogated was a middle-aged man with a thin build, but he stared at Earl Jon with cold eyes, which made Earl Jon feel very uncomfortable.

"Is there no one else involved?" Earl Jon stepped back a few steps, trying to avoid the uncomfortable gaze.

"Master Earl, do you want to say that we poor civilians are greedy for your food?" The middle-aged man who was held down by two soldiers suddenly spat on the ground with disdain.

"I disdain to eat the food of cowards."

"What are you talking about? Are you challenging my patience?" Earl Jon suddenly looked like a rooster with its feathers blown up. The middle-aged man's words obviously stimulated Earl Jon.

"Oh? Am I wrong?" The arrested middle-aged man sneered coldly, "My wife, elderly mother, and toddler are all dead. Talking about business, I was lucky enough to escape the catastrophe, but how did the heroic Earl survive?"

"Didn't you choose to abandon all the citizens and escape in humiliation?" The middle-aged man's face became more and more red, and his expression became more and more agitated, "I feel extremely humiliated as your leader, You coward can't even protect yourself, what qualifications do you have to occupy the city of Versilia and squeeze our blood?"

"Come here and kill him, immediately, immediately! Cough cough...cough."

Earl Jon covered his unstoppable cough with his right hand, his face flushed as red as a pig's liver, and his expression was full of a strong sense of humiliation.

Indeed, Jon should also have such a sense of humiliation.

As lords, the first task is to protect the lives and safety of the subjects. This is their fundamental responsibility. Since they have the leadership, control, and rule of this land, they have been given this unchangeable sacred duty.

Unless you are willing to give up your status as a lord, willingly giving up this territory can give you and your family the benefits, then since you don't enjoy the rights, naturally there is no need to assume obligations.

But if you don't step down from the throne of the lord for a day, and don't forget to continue to draw blood from this territory for a day, then your responsibility will always exist.

Enoch hesitated for a while, facing the killing order issued by Earl Jon, he did not immediately execute it.

The guy in front of him was telling the truth, at least in Enoch's view, what he said was just the heartfelt feelings of an ordinary victim.

As he said, the wife, mother, and children are all dead.

This is a tragic person, and now he wants to end his short life in such a tragic way, Enoch can't do that, he thinks his hands are clean, and he thinks he has some basic conscience.

"You are the saddest person, your subjects will hate you, your soldiers will betray you, and you will eventually perish slowly in your own world!" The voice of the middle-aged man was like a nightmare in Joe's voice. Earl En echoed in his mind, his eyes began to turn red, it was crazy red.
"Enoch, I asked you to kill him!" Earl Jon yelled again, his voice more anxious and mixed with more anger.

"He's not guilty!" Enoch was wearing a full body of knight armor, looking ahead, his voice was cold and crisp.
