On the Seven Towers

When Wang Zifeng blasted open the main entrance of the Baron's Mansion, the escort launched a charge. The destruction of the main gate dealt a heavy blow to the remaining guards. Seeing that the situation was over, the few remaining guards came out and surrendered. When Mareno appeared at the Baron's Palace carrying the Baron's body, the remaining scattered guards gave up resistance.

Most of the guests who were fleeing were caught by the peripheral mutual aid association militiamen. These people may not have enough fighting skills, but they are extremely useful for blocking and arresting people. Even if someone escapes into the small town, In the alley, they will still be picked out very quickly by these familiar militiamen. Several knights, merchants, and even escaped guards were subdued by those teams and then captured.

After several people from the Tower of China gathered together, they moved all the corpses out of the main hall, placed them in a side room, and locked the prisoners in the main hall.

The prisoners were tied hand and foot and sat together on the ground. Anyone who has mastered magic or fighting spirit will wear a collar.

This is a ring of confinement found in the dungeon of the Baron's house. The effect is very similar to the soul shackles, which will cause the wearer to lose the ability to use fighting spirit or magic. It is the simplest way among several means of limiting abilities. However, because it is too easy to take off, it can only be used on prisoners whose hands are tied behind their backs.

The Baron family now consists of Ackley, Hahn, Ruth and Jenny. Both Ackley and Hahn were locked in fighting spirit by the Ring of Imprisonment. Ruth and Jenny were ordinary people and were not bound by the Ring of Imprisonment. Ruth had a broken hand and Glyde stopped the bleeding, but she fell into a coma. Jenny hugged her sister and let her lie on her lap. With red eyes and runny nose, she nervously watched the people coming and going, not daring to move.

Ackley watched Chen Hansheng and the others busy dealing with post-war matters, with many ordinary townspeople who looked dumbfounded following behind them doing this and that, and felt a very ridiculous feeling in his heart.

"Master Chen." He stopped Chen Hansheng who was passing by. "I have something very important. Can we talk about it in private?"

Seeing that Chen Hansheng didn't answer immediately, as if he was thinking about something, he immediately emphasized: "It's a very important thing."

Chen Hansheng carried him into a room connected to the hall, threw him on a chair, closed the door and said, "I'm very busy, please tell me."

Ackley said: "Master Chen, you have won. This is a war between the Magic Tower and the nobles. I hope the four of us can get the treatment that the nobles deserve."

Chen Hansheng looked at him condescendingly, "Oh? What is the treatment that a noble should deserve?"

Ackley's heart sank. The other party must have not considered this matter when he spoke like this. Was he planning to kill them to avoid any further trouble? Although he was worried, he still said bravely: "Please give us separate cells. Wait for my eldest brother to pay the ransom. If you can, please don't let these civilians run around in the room, they are all vulgar people, Our hands and feet are not clean, and we still want to redeem some things in this house.”

Chen Hansheng shook his head and said: "Mr. Ackley, it seems that you haven't understood that this is not a war between nobles. This kind of noble handling method is of no use here. Maybe I will treat some outsiders The nobles and businessmen use this method, but not you."

Ackley's face was gloomy, and his expression was full of nervousness: "Do you want to kill everyone? In the past, only those untouchables would carry out such vicious acts when they rebelled. As a magic tower, you have to be decent, right? No matter who is killed or injured on the battlefield, , but killing us after we surrender would be a violation of the rules."

Chen Hansheng leaned against the wall and looked at this pretentious guy. He now looked panicked and said, "No, you will be tried. In the end, your life and death will be decided by the judge."

"Judge?" Ackley looked confused.

Chen Hansheng slapped his head and said, "Ah, I forgot. Your lords usually have the final say in judging cases. You will know what a judge is in two days."

"Like the imperial courts?"

"Judges in the empire hear cases according to their own judgment and impose penalties as they please, but you have to face accusations from the residents of the town. We pay attention to laws and evidence."

The panic on Ackley's face disappeared at this time, replaced by anger and humiliation, "You want to hand over our fate to those untouchables? This is blasphemy to the nobility!"

Chen Hansheng raised the corner of his mouth and said: "If this is what you want to say, then I think we are done talking."

"No, no, wait a minute, I have something else to say." Ackley twisted his tied body and said, "I'm here to propose a deal."

Seeing that Chen Hansheng did not speak, he hurriedly continued: "My sister Ruth is married to Baron Suarez, and his territory is not far from here. Their family is very small, and the baron only has one illegitimate cousin. As long as that guy is killed, the family will be destroyed." There is no heir, so my sister can hope to inherit the land. If you can let our family go, I will help you deal with the heir and convince my sister to cooperate with you and support you in acquiring the land. She can invite your magic tower to send magic consultants to fully manage her territory."

"Ha, you took advantage of your brother-in-law's death and your sister's coma to sell her. Will she agree?" Chen Hansheng shook his head. The noble faces that Kalanda mentioned were perfectly revealed in this person.

Ackley said, "How can you say she's sold? She's a wounded woman. Even if she's redeemed by my brother, she can't keep the place. But if you go, you'll become the real owner there. And my sister won't be kicked out by the new lord. Lord Chen, we have to find a way to survive at any time, right?"

"Besides, there's a coal mine there. It's the coal used for iron and fire. So Alvita is a very valuable territory." Ackley added.

"A new town? Okay, I'll submit this question to my superiors." Chen Hansheng said.

"If you can agree to this condition, I'll be happy to serve you." Ackley said.

Chen Hansheng asked in surprise, "We just killed your parents."

"Sir, if a person cannot distinguish between war and outside of war, he will never be a qualified noble. I feel sad for the unfortunate death of my parents, but I don't hate you. If I really hate you, I hate fate, which made our family provoke a strong enemy like the Tower of China when we were not strong enough. This is a collision of two war machines, and everyone can become a victim. On the contrary, if you killed my father in a private fight, I would fight you regardless of everything." Ackley said seriously, "And as a person who is not qualified to inherit the title, my original destiny is to serve a powerful lord."

Chen Hansheng was speechless about Ackley's shamelessness and weird logic, "Okay, I have another question, who killed Irene?"

"Israel." Ackley blurted out.
