king of the castle

Chapter 422 The Priest's Conspiracy

Baron Doug, the lord of Northwind Town, has been in a very upset mood recently. 【】

Last time, two barbarians were about to be executed, but they escaped from the execution ground in full view, which greatly challenged the authority of Doug's territory.Although the baron sent a large number of troops to hunt down these two barbarians, they have so far found nothing.So much so that rumors have spread in Beifeng Town recently, saying that the barbarian army will soon make a comeback and kill all the humans in the town.This rumor made everyone panic, the number of people coming to Beifeng Town decreased significantly, and Doug's income also shrank.

And for Doug, that wasn't the biggest headache.What worried him even more was that he failed to push the barbarians to a corner, leaving a lot of room for the envoys of the kingdom who were about to negotiate with them.If the kingdom and the barbarians come to an agreement, then Doug's plan to seize their hunting grounds will take a lot of trouble.

"These useless wastes can't even be found by two injured barbarians!" Doug was furious in his mansion, and said viciously to the housekeeper: "Send more people to look for them, and the one who helps them The human beings can't let go, find him, and I will execute him and those barbarians together!"

Frightened by the ferocious look of the master, the housekeeper bowed and fled out quickly.Lord Doug is famous for his bad temper. In the past few days, many people have had bad luck. There was a woman who was beaten to death by the baron just because she laughed in front of the baron. The housekeeper didn't want the same thing to happen to him on the head.

"Old friend, you are too nervous." After the steward left, Father Paul put down the tea cup in his hand and said unhurriedly: "The Supreme God once said that all heresies will eventually destroy themselves. Those barbarians and their human friends There will be no exception."

"I can't relax, Father!" Doug said sullenly, "The negotiator sent by the kingdom is about to arrive. If he can negotiate with the barbarians, those good hunting grounds will be..."

Paul laughed softly after hearing Doug's preoccupied words, and after a while, he whispered to the baron's suspicious eyes: "Doug, Doug, the Supreme God taught us to think more about everything we do, Only thinking is the best way to solve the problem."

Doug and Paul have been working together in Beifeng Town for many years, and they know the priest very well, knowing that he must have a solution to the problem, so he can't wait to say: "Father, don't be tricky, what can you do quickly?" Speak out!"

"It's not good for us if the kingdom and the barbarians come to an agreement, but if the barbarians kill the envoy of the kingdom, do you think the negotiation can continue?" Paul said inscrutablely: "The envoy will definitely ask you to negotiate with the barbarian Assistance, such as sending soldiers to escort him to the barbarian camp or something, so that..."

Paul smiled mysteriously at this point, and then stopped talking.Although the priest's tone was calm, Doug could hear the cold sweat on his back, and even his face was as white as a dead man.The baron was silent for a while, then raised his head and stared at the priest like a hungry wolf on the wasteland, and said, "You mean, let's take the messenger...?"

Even the daring Doug dared not speak.Paul's thoughts are so crazy that Doug, known as "Mad Dog", is also terrified.However, there was no fear on the priest's face, but he kept his smile and nodded slightly.

"Paul, are you crazy?" Received the affirmative answer from the priest, Doug couldn't help calling him by his first name, "The negotiating envoy is an earl, a nobleman of the kingdom! If we attack him... the consequences will be very serious!"

Father Paul said with a so-called smile: "Old friend, the Supreme God once said that any mortal in this world is a sinner. We dealt with that messenger just to punish sinners on behalf of the Supreme God. Don't be so nervous!"

"But... how does the kingdom explain?" Doug was still struggling.

Paul said the plan he had thought up a long time ago: "As long as your subordinates do things cleanly and do something to those savages afterwards, nothing will happen."

"Okay!" After hesitating for a while, Doug finally made up his mind.His title of "Mad Dog" is not for nothing. If other nobles were in Doug's position, such a thing would not even dare to think about it.But once Doug made up his mind, he did it regardless of the consequences.

"Okay, I'll gather some confidantes to do this." Doug said with a grim expression, "I'm determined to win the barbarian's hunting ground. Killing a few people for this is nothing!"

Paul was very satisfied with Doug's attitude. He stood up with a smile and said, "That's right, my friend! The Supreme God taught us that if we want to achieve our goals, we must work hard. Work hard! I also want to preside over prayers, first Went back to church."

Hmph, I have to do all the shitty things, but you are very comfortable, and you can benefit a lot from hiding behind!Seeing Paul's fat body walk out of the room, Doug felt a little dissatisfied.

The priest seemed to have noticed something, and when he walked to the door, he stopped and said, "You ask your subordinates to make things as clean as possible. If something goes wrong, I will come forward and announce that the envoy is a heresy that blasphemes the Supreme God, so that our Just in case the plan goes wrong!"

The priest's words turned Doug's anger into joy, and he personally sent him out of the baron's mansion.With the church as a protective umbrella, even if the kingdom has nothing to say about the killing of the envoy, no one will stand up for a heresy, and Alonso III is no exception.

"Barbarians...wait for the kingdom's army to kill you all!" At this moment Doug was full of confidence in his plan.

Doug was in a good mood to finally have a solution to the problem, and he wondered if he should go back to the bedroom and find some chicks to have fun.A few days ago, the cavalry under his command had just captured a few village girls from a nearby village. Although they were relatively ordinary in appearance, they were young and fresh enough, so they were not bad for a change of taste.

But Doug still didn't taste these "fresh goods" in the end. Before he had time to return to his bedroom, the housekeeper came to him out of breath.

"My lord, there is someone outside the town claiming that he is the negotiating envoy sent by the kingdom." The steward reported with a troubled face, "He asked you to meet him at the entrance of the town."

The butler's words made Doug, who was about to relax just now, tense up, stood up abruptly and said in a low voice, "It's finally here!"
