Along the way, even when encountering soldiers at toll stations again, Su Nan didn't pay any toll this time, and even directly had Vasilian drive the carriage through.

They went directly to Samori Castle.

The level of security at Samori was actually much more lax than Su Nan had imagined.

They entered the urban district in front of Samori Castle relatively easily.

The entire urban district seemed very chaotic.

Soldiers rampaged through their own city, rudely knocking on the doors of every residential house they deemed suspicious.

Within the city, there seemed to be many heretical thugs, or rather, these thugs themselves were the main residents of Samori City.

As long as Count Samori abused his领民(lǐngmín, subjects) at will and discriminated against those who believed in the God of Law, these 领民(lǐngmín, subjects) would continuously attack the soldiers of the Samori territory.

And more rebels were hiding in the countryside and towns of the Samori territory, attacking cities and seizing fortresses.

They couldn't fight against the Samori family, which possessed a large number of Storm Knights, so they could only use guerrilla tactics to harass and destroy everything valuable in the Samori territory.

Now, all the industry and commerce in the Samori territory had withered.

The merchants and craftsmen who moved away gathered continuously due to the economic attractiveness of Maple Leaf City.

Su Nan glanced at the residential area of Samori City behind him, where a small church of the God of Law was being demolished, while soldiers supervised workers building a new church of the God of Storms in its place.

These soldiers whipped the priests and civilians who wanted to protect the church of the God of Law, roaring, "If you want to stay in this country, you must convert your faith."

"This country cannot tolerate you lowly people who believe in the God of Law."

"Listen up, the Count has ordered that from today onwards, all those who believe in the God of Law cannot have their own churches, cannot hold mass, cannot walk on the streets, and everyone must pay three times the poll tax!"

'Pa~'

The officer swung his whip, which landed on the head of a young priest, and with a sharp scream from the young acolyte, he was knocked to the ground and fell into a coma.

The surrounding civilians were panicked and gathered around the young priest, wanting to protect their priest.

At the same time, Su Nan directly had Vasilian drive the carriage to the front of Samori Castle.

Even if there were soldiers blocking the way, when they saw Vasilian's terrifying eyes and Su Nan's carriage with the insignia of a high-ranking noble, they didn't dare to speak harshly to Su Nan and couldn't stop him at all.

Vasilian directly threw the five corpses in front of the Samori family's castle gate, and the Samori family's soldiers who couldn't dodge were knocked to the ground by the corpses.

The formal Storm Knight guarding the castle gate from the Samori family seemed very angry. From the family crest on the carriage, he learned Su Nan's identity. He suppressed his anger and said to Su Nan, "Earl Peter."

"I think you've been having a very good time lately. You just became an Earl and you're already coming to our territory to show off? Especially during this time when our family is teetering on the brink!"

"What do you want here? Can I take this as a provocation against our Count Samori?"

"You're too arrogant to venture deep into our territory alone. Even if you are a Storm Grand Lord, you must give us an explanation today!"

Su Nan waited for a while, waiting for the Samori family's messenger to report to Count Samori.

Count Samori led five formal knights and eleven knight attendants from their family headquarters to the castle gate.

At the same time, at least two hundred elite soldiers trained by Samori appeared at the castle gate.

These elite soldiers held crossbows and were on full alert on the castle.

Obviously, when Count Samori heard that Su Nan had arrived in front of his castle, he subconsciously thought that Su Nan had brought an army to attack.

He was so anxious that he quickly summoned the elite forces of the family and rushed to the castle gate.

Count Samori was a strong middle-aged man, but now his face was pale and puffy. His left hand was bandaged and hung in front of his chest.

At this moment, when the Count Samori saw that Su Nan had only come alone, at most with a very powerful knight by his side, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Because this meant that Su Nan was not here to conquer his territory.

At other times, Count Samori would definitely not be afraid, but especially during these turbulent days, he was a little worried that the rebels would directly attack his castle. If it weren't for the Storm Knights suppressing them, he would have chosen to run away temporarily.

Although the Storm Knights were suppressing the rebels, he still lost a formal knight and three knight attendants for some reason.

It was as if the rebels also had military forces that could threaten the Storm Knights.

This made Count Samori worried these past few days. His family also had a territory of three barren islands among the hundreds of islands in the Naxos archipelago in the Mediterranean Sea.

For a few days, he even wanted to go there to avoid the limelight.

He would come back after the 领民(lǐngmín, subjects) calmed down.

Now, he had already transferred his wife and children to the small island, but Count Samori did not expect that Su Nan would come to his door at this time, even aggressively, with a very powerful knight by his side.

Unlike the righteous indignation of the Samori family's formal knight, Count Samori, who had already been driven crazy by the rebellion of his own 领民(lǐngmín, subjects), did not have a strong tone towards Su Nan, but asked Su Nan with incomprehension and anger: "Earl Peter. Why did you come to my castle to provoke me."

"No matter what, you must give our Samori family an explanation today. Otherwise, other lords will think that the Samori family is easy to bully."

"I know you have a good relationship with Bishop Borgia Frederick, and you are also very capable. But we have never interfered with each other before. I don't know what made you angry today."

Count Samori coughed a few times. "My eldest son, on whom I placed high hopes, was even plotted and killed by those lowly people who believe in the God of Law five days ago. How hateful."

"As fellow Storm Grand Lords, fellow lords of the God of Storms, and fellow great nobles of the kingdom, we should be more united at this time. But why, Earl Peter..."

Vasilian interrupted him. "United? Stupid Count Samori, look at the five corpses we threw over."

"The premise of unity is that you are reliable people, not conspirators who arrange assassinations. Why was my master assassinated by your family's soldiers when he passed through your family's territory? This is a naked declaration of war. Samori family, are you choosing war?"

The Samori family quickly checked the five corpses.

The conclusion shocked the Samori family.

Because these five soldiers were all their people, and for some reason, they deliberately carried a large number of Samori family's tokens, and even officers had recognized the identities of these five people.

Assassination?

The Samori knights immediately looked at their own Count with suspicion.

Count Samori wouldn't be so stupid as to assassinate another Earl's family at this time, would he?

Count Samori was stunned in place, and then his heart was filled with anger towards the rioters, and then he quickly explained nervously to Su Nan: "Earl Peter, this is definitely a misunderstanding."

"This is a trap. This must be a trap set by those rioters to make us Storm Grand Lords kill each other. You must not fall for their tricks."

"I have never issued such an order."

Count Samori even stomped his feet and cursed angrily. "Damn God of Law, damn people of the Eastern Empire, can't these lowly people obey me no matter what?"

Faintly, both Su Nan and he heard the shouts of Samori civilians marching on the streets in the Samori urban area not far from the castle, braving the soldiers' swords.

"Let the people of the Storm Kingdom leave our land!"

"This is the land where we have lived for generations, why should we let the Storm Lords manage us."

"Even if the Storm Knights are powerful, there are only a dozen of them, and there are more than 100,000 of us! As long as everyone unites, we can overthrow the knight tyranny."

Count Samori's face paled when he heard the faint shouts. He walked down the city wall, opened the castle gate, and hurriedly led people to Su Nan, wanting to get Su Nan's forgiveness. "Earl Su Nan, I am willing to compensate you for your losses."

"I know how you feel now, I can understand. Anyone who is assassinated will feel bad. But this was indeed not done by me."

"I can give you compensation."
